Gu Qiancheng's original plan was to plot against Mrs. Gu and Liu Yanshang, and lead someone to defeat them when they were about to succeed. Unfortunately...
She had planned everything, but it was ruined by the greedy old lady.
However, this is fine. After today's incident, what face will the old lady have in front of everyone in the family? In the future, will her good father still respect me as before?
Uncle Gu sent the old lady away and felt that he had covered up the scandal. He was relieved. When he saw Mrs. Gu coming with a group of people, although he was unhappy, he did not lose his temper. He just said with a dark face: "It's okay.
Let’s all disperse.”
"Master, are you really okay?" Mrs. Gu looked into the private vault, fearing that there was something missing.
Inside, there is the most valuable thing of the Gu family. Now everyone in the Gu family depends on Gu Qiancheng's dowry to survive.
"What could be the matter? It's just a thief who has been captured." Uncle Gu announced his conclusion with a gloomy face. Although Mrs. Gu didn't believe it, she saw that the atmosphere at the scene seemed wrong, so she didn't dare to ask more questions.
Ready to leave, but...
Gu Qiancheng is here!
"Father, madam, you are all here, but what happened?" Gu Qiancheng was followed by two servants and two maids.
These four people are not from the Gu family. If Uncle Gu and Mrs. Gu look carefully, they will find that these two servants and maids look very familiar.
"Qiancheng, why are you here?" When Uncle Gu saw Gu Qiancheng, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, especially when he saw four strange and familiar servants behind Gu Qiancheng, his face immediately twisted and became angry.
Said: "Is it you, is it your fault?"
"Father, I don't understand what you are talking about." Gu Qiancheng stood there with an innocent look on his face.
Uncle Gu was shocked to realize that he had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.
Gu Qiancheng frowned slightly and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Father, this private vault is specially used by my grandfather to store my dowry. What are you doing here?"
The last sentence was asked carefully, but the meaning was clear enough that others could not pretend not to know even if they wanted to.
Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Uncle Gu, wanting an answer from him.
"I, I..." Uncle Gu stuttered when he was nervous. Mrs. Gu quickly answered: "Qiancheng, don't think too much, I will definitely bring you here to help you count the dowry."
"Why do you need to carefully count my dowry?" Gu Qiancheng emphasized the word "mine" and pointed lightly at the copper lock on the ground. "Father, I stepped into the mud."
Everyone followed what Gu Qiancheng expected, and found that besides Suo who had been stepped into the mud, there were also rows of messy footprints. They didn't look like they were here to inspect the private treasury, but rather like they were here to rob.
As luck would have it, the three confidants sent by the old lady to summon people happened to come over with a group of stout servants. These people were either carrying big boxes on their backs or carrying big boxes. Judging from their light steps, I can be sure that there was nothing heavy inside.
thing.
"You guys walk faster, the old lady is waiting." The voice was not loud, and the people in front of the private room did not hear it, but the two servants behind Gu Qiancheng heard it.
They are guards trained by King Qin. They have no ears at all. Why are they hanging around King Qin?
During the conversation between Gu Qiancheng and Uncle Gu, the two servants turned sideways without leaving a trace, and happened to see the old lady's confidants peeking their heads in the corner, preparing to retreat furtively.
It seems that they heard the noise and noticed that the situation had changed, so they came to check. This move was supposed to be foolproof, but it happened...
Gu Qiancheng brought the master with him today.
"There is a thief, catch the thief." Two servants behind Gu Qiancheng shouted. Before Uncle Gu and Mrs. Gu could react, the two of them flew out with a "whoosh" like arrows leaving the string.
"Come on, what happened?" The onlookers were about to disperse. When they heard the voice, they turned around and saw two servants and a girl dressed as a maid, all falling to the ground. The three people were talking.
Li was still shouting: "We are not thieves, we are the old lady's people, stop it, stop it."
I thought this was the biggest noise, but before everyone could figure out what was going on, they heard a "boom" sound, as if something had been smashed.
"Quick, go and see what's going on?" someone shouted, but Uncle Gu stood guard outside the private treasury, not daring to move a step. He only said to Mrs. Gu: "Go and have a look."
Mrs. Gu secretly thought that something was wrong, but now she didn't dare to say no to Uncle Gu, so she had no choice but to go through with it.
After not taking two steps, I saw a group of crudely dressed servants kicked in with boxes attached, and they were thrown all over the floor.
"What, what's going on?" someone asked in confusion.
Gu Qiancheng already understood what happened. In order to hide the truth of the matter, Mrs. Gu deliberately said: "Qiancheng, what's wrong with you? Have these servants offended you? Don't do this yourself in the future.
Mother will handle it for you."
Mrs. Gu looked helpless. Gu Qiancheng looked at her with a half-smile but not a smile. Mrs. Gu looked embarrassed, and then she said, "Madam, didn't you hear what they said? These people said that they were under the old lady's orders."
The order to carry things from the private treasury has nothing to do with me."
"It's just carrying something. What's this? Maybe it's what the old lady wants to use. Why are you making such a fuss?" Mrs. Gu's scalp was numb, but at this point, she could only blame her scalp for all the faults on Gu Qian.
On the city.
"Really?" Gu Qiancheng smiled sarcastically. Mrs. Gu secretly thought something was wrong. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Gu Qiancheng say word by word: "Madam, the only thing in the private treasury is the dowry my mother left me. My grandfather personally
Sealed it up for me and kept it as my support for the rest of my life. Why did the old lady send people here to carry it?"
Lift what?
You said that the private treasury has nothing else except your dowry, so what else can you carry?
She could think about this but couldn't say it. Mrs. Gu forced a smile and said: "Qiancheng, as juniors, we can't interfere in the old lady's affairs. But you can rest assured that the old lady will definitely not touch the things your mother left for you.
.”
"The door to the private vault has been opened, and the people carrying the things have arrived. Madam, are you sure the things inside are still there?" Gu Qiancheng lowered his eyes, looking hurt.
She came today to see what the Gu family could use to prove the fact that her full dowry was empty.
"How is it possible that your things are not there? The old man put them into his private treasury for you personally. They are all in the private treasury and there are quite a few of them." In front of outsiders, Mrs. Gu could only say something nice.
"Oh..." Gu Qiancheng responded in a low voice. Just when Mrs. Gu thought that Gu Qiancheng would stop, Gu Qiancheng said: "Madam, the old man is not feeling well. He always has trouble sleeping late. I
I remember that there was a white jade medicinal pillow in my dowry, which has a sleeping effect. I wanted to take it out for the old lady to use, but the door to the private room happened to be opened. I would like to ask Madam to take it out for me, is it okay?"
