No matter how angry the old man is, or how much the old lady curses, they can't stop Gu Qiancheng's actions. The top priority can only be to return to the city as soon as possible and try to minimize the impact.
At this time, the old lady did not dare to take any more food, and hurriedly got up from the ground, without any help from the servants, and climbed onto the carriage spontaneously.
The old lady was afraid that if Gu Qiancheng made such a fuss, she would stay in the temple again.
The old lady had had enough of the lonely and helpless life for the past six months, and she was unwilling to stay in the family temple even if she was beaten to death.
The old man didn't have the energy to argue with the old lady. As soon as he got on the carriage, he asked the driver to go faster, and faster...
At this moment, the old man wished he could fly, so he immediately returned to Gu Qiancheng and blocked Gu Qiancheng in Gu's house, preventing her from coming out and preventing this matter from being exposed. Unfortunately, reality is far from that beautiful...
Although Gu Qiancheng walked slowly, it would still take a lot of time for Mr. Gu and his party to get back after receiving the news.
As the sun set, the old man and his party were still a little far away from the city gate, but Gu Qiancheng had already arrived at the city gate, followed by a long group of people watching the excitement.
However, although these people came here to watch the fun, none of them dared to discuss it openly.
The autumn sun is not strong, but the afterglow of the setting sun is even more gloomy. The clear afterglow shines on Gu Qiancheng, and the dead leaves are flying in the wind, spinning around Gu Qiancheng's feet. Gu Qiancheng is dull all the way, holding in his hand
The tablets moved forward step by step, and each step was so heavy and so determined.
The people watching behind him were also affected by this, and the whole procession was solemn and solemn. When the people from the coffin shop, who had been waiting at the city gate for a long time, walked up to Gu Qiancheng carrying the coffin, the procession looked more like a funeral procession.
The people in the coffin shop had already taken care of things. Without saying anything, they followed Gu Qiancheng carrying the coffin.
Such a group of people was undoubtedly eye-catching. The soldiers guarding the city realized something was wrong and hugged Yan early to listen. When Gu Qiancheng reached the checkpoint to leave the city, Yan Qing happened to come over.
"Miss Gu?" Yan Qing looked surprised and stepped forward quickly.
He heard a report from his subordinates that a suspicious person appeared at the gate of the city, and thought it was related to an assassin. Unexpectedly, when he got closer, he discovered that it was Gu Qiancheng.
"General Yan." Gu Qiancheng stopped and said expressionlessly.
Yan Qing pointed to the coffin behind Gu Qiancheng and asked in confusion: "What's going on?" Is anyone in the Gu family dead?
"I was ordered by my grandmother to go out of the city to pick her up." Gu Qiancheng said nothing about the coffin behind him or the tablet in his hand.
"You're going to pick it up like this?" Yan Qing clicked her tongue, obviously unable to accept it.
Gu Qiancheng lowered his eyes and said softly: "Grandma asked me to be sincere and kneel three times and kowtow nine times to pick her up."
"What? Kneel down three times and kowtow nine times? Did I hear it wrong?" Yan Qing's voice suddenly increased, and Gu Qiancheng responded softly, "General Yan heard it right. If possible, please allow General Yan to be accommodating to me."
Get out of town."
"This..." Yan Qing looked hesitant. The road outside the city was bumpy and gravelly. Gu Qiancheng knelt down and kowtowed as he walked over. His legs must have been broken.
"Please help me, General Yan, and allow me and the coffin behind me to leave the city." Gu Qiancheng's legs were slightly red and his head was lowered.
Yan Qing didn't want to get out of the way, but couldn't find a suitable reason, so he could only ask: "You are going to pick up Mrs. Gu, why are you still holding you..." Yan Qing glanced down, and then said: "Why are you still holding you?"
Mother’s memorial tablet? Carrying the coffin out of the city?”
"Because..." A teardrop fell and fell on Gu Qiancheng's footsteps. It broke into countless pieces. The people watching the excitement raised their ears, waiting for Gu Qiancheng to say it.
Gu Qiancheng didn't let everyone wait for too long. He sobbed and closed his eyes in pain, "My mother's grave was dug out by my grandmother, and she hid my mother's bones. I'm going to beg my grandmother, beg her to save her."
Return my mother's bones to me."
At the end, tears fell one after another, but Gu Qiancheng stubbornly refused to cry and bit his lips, biting his originally light-colored lips until they were dripping with blood.
Gu Qiancheng is not pretending, she really hates her. She hates the Gu family for bullying others too much. She hates the Gu family for hurting her regardless of the blood relationship, and at the same time using the blood relationship to force her.
Gu Qiancheng gritted his teeth and refused to let himself cry. His stubborn yet weak look made everyone around him feel heartbroken, not to mention Yan Qing.
Yan Qing felt a pain in her heart and hurriedly raised her hand to wipe Gu Qiancheng's tears, but when she was about to touch Gu Qiancheng's cheek, Yan Qing shrank back again and hurriedly looked for a handkerchief, but there was no such thing as a handkerchief on him.
thing.
Yan Qing didn't know what to do, so he could only stammer and comfort: "Gu, Miss Gu, don't be like this, don't be sad, your mother, your mother..."
"I will definitely get my mother's bones back. My grandmother asked me to kneel and kowtow three times from the city gate to pick her up in the temple. I will definitely do it. As long as my grandmother is willing to return my mother's bones to me, I can do whatever she asks me to do.
Everything is fine." Gu Qiancheng raised his sleeves and wiped away the tears on his face.
Taking a breath, Gu Qiancheng suppressed his sadness and said, "Please, General Yan, please be accommodating and allow me to leave the city."
"It's so pitiful. Sir, please be accommodating."
"Yes. This sister of the Gu family is so miserable. Her mother's bones were dug out. It's so miserable."
"I heard that the old godly woman of the Gu family is not a good person, and whoever becomes her daughter-in-law will be unlucky."
When the spectators heard Gu Qiancheng's words, they all looked at Gu Qiancheng with red eyes and sympathetic faces, feeling sorry for Gu Qiancheng in their hearts.
Originally, these people thought that Gu Qiancheng was fooling around, but now it seems that Gu Qiancheng was forced and had no choice.
"Motherless children are really pitiful. I heard that their stepmother's daughter stole the first wife's daughter's marriage. I thought it was ridiculous at first, but now it seems that the Duke's Palace is capable of all kinds of messy things.
.”
Yan Qing already felt sorry for Gu Qiancheng, but now that he heard what others said, he wanted to accompany Gu Qiancheng to find the Gu family, but that was not possible. He had no qualifications and no position.
Yan Qing had no choice but to pay attention to Qiancheng as much as possible. If Gu Qiancheng wanted to leave the city, he would do it. "After opening the coffin and inspecting it, you can leave the city."
"General, please inspect it." The coffin was empty, and Gu Qiancheng was not afraid of inspection at all.
The official came forward and quickly checked the inside and outside of the coffin to make sure there was no problem. Yan Qing immediately let it go. Gu Qiancheng bowed and thanked her, but at this moment...
The queue to enter the city suddenly became chaotic. The horses were frightened and kept roaring. Yan Qing frowned and immediately sent someone to ask. When they learned that it was the Gu family's carriage, everyone was stunned.
.
"Miss Gu, the Gu family's carriage has returned to the city." Yan Qing looked at Qiancheng worriedly. He didn't know what happened, but he was sure that if the Gu family came into the city at this time, Gu Qiancheng would definitely not get any favors.
Gu Qiancheng lowered his eyes, covered up the glare in his eyes, and whispered: "I have nothing to do with the Gu family's carriage entering the city. Grandma wants me to kneel down and kowtow to pick her up. If I can't do it, I will never be found."
My mother’s bones, I can’t let my mother die in the wilderness.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Qiancheng knelt down with a "thud" sound...
