It happened to be when I was meeting the fifth prince!
What on earth did the fifth prince do to make Mr. Gu fall ill with such anger?
Everyone whispered and exchanged glances from time to time. Although they did not dare to say anything openly, they all had guesses in their hearts...
The fifth prince had better pray that the old lady is fine. Otherwise, even if others don't tell, everyone will think it is the fifth prince and make old lady Gu very angry.
After receiving the news, as a filial son and a virtuous daughter-in-law, no matter how much Uncle Gu and Mrs. Gu hate that Old Mrs. Gu is ill at this time, they must put down what they are doing and rush over.
"Chenghuan, why are you back? What happened to the old man?" Uncle Gu and Second Master Gu asked hurriedly when they saw Gu Chenghuan sitting in the outer room.
"Uncle, father." Gu Chenghuan has grown much taller in the past six months, and has long since lost his youthfulness. He looks like a teenager, with a serious look on his face and a bit of majesty.
Gu Chenghuan stood in front of the two of them without leaving a trace, and said respectfully: "The imperial doctor hasn't come yet, but Sister Qiancheng is inside."
"Qiancheng? What does she know?" Uncle Gu's face was gloomy, and he rushed in without thinking. Second Master Gu and Mrs. Gu also followed closely, but they were blocked by Gu Chenghuan, "Sister Qiancheng said, anyone
No one is allowed to go in and disturb."
Worrying that they were not afraid, Gu Chenghuan added: "The fifth prince also agreed."
Uncle Gu paused, looked around, and asked, "Where is the fifth prince?"
"The fifth prince went to the palace in person to ask for the imperial doctor for his grandfather." Cheng Huan would not tell them that the reason why the fifth prince went to ask for the imperial doctor in person was because Sister Qiancheng suggested it. The reason was that it could show the fifth prince's benevolence and filial piety.
But Gu Chenghuan knew that his sister had not said anything yet: The fifth prince hurriedly went to the palace to ask for the imperial doctor, and then confirmed that the fifth prince's angry old man was ill.
Although the eldest son of the Gu family was stupid, he felt something was wrong when he heard this. He hurriedly said to the second master Gu: "Quickly, go after the fifth prince. Don't let him enter the palace to ask for the imperial doctor in person."
He turned around and said to Mrs. Gu: "Tell the people outside that the old man is just tired from traveling and traveling. He is not ill. He just needs a good rest."
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu didn't understand it at first. After hearing what Mr. Gu said, they realized what they were doing. They hurried out and acted separately.
Inside the house, Gu Qiancheng was feeding the old man ginseng tea. When he heard the conversation outside, he couldn't help but smile.
Her father is quite smart.
After drinking a cup of ginseng tea, the old man felt much better. He closed his eyes and leaned on the bedside. He said a little tiredly: "Qiancheng, for the sake of my grandfather, can you save some face for the Gu family?" The old man said.
The words were almost pleading.
Gu Qiancheng paused, then said calmly: "Grandpa, I don't understand what you are talking about." She would not admit it.
"I don't understand... forget it." The old man closed his eyes tiredly, as if tears flashed across his eyes. Gu Qiancheng was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "I'm sorry."
"Grandpa, I'm sorry." It was too late, she had already taken action.
"Forget it, they brought it all upon themselves." The old man lowered his hand feebly, turned away and stopped looking at Qiancheng.
Gu Qiancheng didn't speak, he just sat quietly by the bed, guarding the old man...
Under the strong control of Uncle Gu, the impact of Old Mrs. Gu's illness has subsided. Everyone knows that the servants made the wrong message and that the old Mr. Gu is just tired and not ill.
As for why the fifth prince suddenly turned back?
No one asked this question, so the Gu family naturally didn't answer it, and their faces remained harmonious. Near noon, the ladies and ladies sat separately, gathering in twos and threes, only discussing clothes and jewelry, and not talking about anyone or anything.
The maids of the Gu family were walking back and forth in the garden, and everyone was busy. The old lady wasted no time preparing to show up, but before she could reach the backyard, she was bumped into by a hurried little maid.
"Ouch..." the little maid screamed, fell to the ground, and a copper key flew out of her hand.
That key... looks familiar.
The old lady's eyes flashed with excitement, and her eyes were filled with excitement.
"The key..." The little maid didn't care about the pain or apologizing to the old lady. Before she got up, she crawled to pick up the key. She didn't want anyone to be faster than her and step on the key.
"Old, old lady." The little maid raised her head, her face was pale, her eyes were wandering, and she did not dare to look directly at the old lady.
"Which house are you a servant of?" The little maid was already acting suspiciously, but when she panicked, it became even more problematic.
"Reply to the old lady's... words, I, I am the little girl from the eldest house." The little maid stammered, lying on the ground for a while without daring to get up. She dug her fingers into the soil and tried to dig out the key from the soles of the old lady's feet.
"Girl in the big room? Go down." The old lady just pretended not to see it, and the little maid's face became more and more ugly, "Old, old madam, I, my key is on the ground, you..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the old lady, "How can a little maid be so ignorant of the rules? She covered her mouth and dragged her out."
"No..." The little maid screamed in fright, but in the middle of her scream, two stout nuns covered her mouth and half dragged her down.
The old lady looked around to make sure that no one else had seen it, then she bent down to pick up the key, wiped off the mud on it, looked at it carefully but was afraid of being dazzled, and handed it to the confidant maid beside her: "Guizhi
, show me, is it that key?"
"My servant once saw it in the old master's hand. This is the right key." After looking at it, the maid named Guizhi immediately returned it.
"My old lady is really not dazzled. The eldest brother actually wanted to get that thing. It's really..." The old lady shook her head, as if she was disdainful, but she turned around and said: "Come on, let's go and see, this key is
It’s not really possible to open a private treasury.”
The key in the old lady's hand is the key to the private treasury where the old man of the Gu family gave Gu Qiancheng a dowry.
During this period, the Gu family had already emptied their wealth in order to support the fifth prince. Everyone in the Gu family had the idea of Gu Qiancheng's dowry. However, before leaving Beijing, Mr. Gu put Gu Qiancheng's dowry into his private treasury.
No one can move.
The private vault is surrounded by walls on three sides. The iron door is five centimeters thick and cannot be easily opened. Moreover, it looks ugly when opened, but having a key makes all the difference.
When you open the door of the warehouse, everything inside is emptied, and outsiders don't know what's going on.
When the old lady got the key, she couldn't wait to go in and take a look. She was going to take out the valuable things first, and then she would hand them over to the fifth prince, who would become closer to her.
The old lady was very smart with her calculations, but little did she know that there was a big conspiracy going on in the Gu family's private treasury, and she was just waiting for the person who got the key to take the bait.
Although Gu Qiancheng's original intention was not the old lady's idea, but the old lady was greedy and ran into it, so she can't be blamed...
