Although her current reputation is not very good, she can't break the pot. Mrs. Gu forced a smile and gritted her teeth and said: "Of course." She knew that Gu Qiancheng's dowry did include a medicinal jade pillow.
, she was still thinking of giving Qianxue a pillow to help her recover, but now...
I can only take advantage of the old man.
Mrs. Gu winked at the servant behind her, and the man immediately took two steps back. When Mrs. Gu returned to the private treasury with a group of spectators, she stayed to deal with these "old lady's people".
There was nothing very secret about this move. Everyone present saw it, but everyone tacitly understood it and pretended not to know.
Mrs. Gu led people back, only to see four servants guarding the private treasury on the left and right, but Uncle Gu was missing. Mrs. Gu frowned and asked, "Where is the master?"
"Old, sir, he..." The servant's eyes flickered and he glanced at the private treasury.
Mrs. Gu didn't show it on her face, but she secretly scolded Uncle Gu regardless of the occasion. Even if he wanted to covet Gu Qiancheng's dowry, he would do it when there were no outsiders. If he went in at this time, if there was something missing inside, how could he tell clearly?
?
"Open the door." At this moment, Mrs. Gu thought that opening the door would prove her innocence.
The old lady has not yet succeeded, and Gu Qiancheng's dowry is well placed in the private treasury. All she needs to do is let people see that Gu Qiancheng's dowry has not been moved.
"This, this..." The servant looked embarrassed, and Mrs. Gu immediately became unhappy: "Why, no one listened to my words."
"You don't dare, but the master said that no one can open the door without his order." The servant lowered his head with a look of fear.
Mrs. Gu was quite unable to get off the stage. Gu Qiancheng looked indifferent and said a bit forlornly: "Forget it, grandpa probably won't care about a medicine pillow, I won't take it."
After saying that, he turned around to leave, making it clear that he knew there was a problem in the private treasury and wanted to save face for the Gu family.
Everyone was silent. Seeing Gu Qiancheng leaving with a lonely look on his face, they all found an excuse to disperse...
Mrs. Gu wanted to stay but was afraid of something happening, so she hesitated for a moment. During this hesitation, she saw Gu Qiancheng walking to the center of the crowd.
As luck would have it, Uncle Gu happened to finish cleaning up the scene and locked Mr. Liu Yanshang in a box. The old lady's clothes and jewelry were also cleaned up one by one, and no traces could be seen on the surface.
As soon as Uncle Gu opened the door, he found that Mrs. Gu was still gathered outside, and his face immediately turned ugly, "Why are you still here? Didn't you say you were fine? Why didn't you go to the front to greet the guests?"
Mrs. Gu was about to explain when she heard Gu Qiancheng's voice: "Father, I came to find the medicine pillow for Grandpa to use. But...it's not needed now."
Just by listening to the sound of the last sentence, you could tell how bitter Gu Qiancheng was at this moment. No matter how stupid Uncle Gu was, he understood it and said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, what kind of medicine pillow do you want? Father, I will help you get it."
Although most of the onlookers had dispersed, there were countless pairs of eyes watching secretly, and Uncle Gu didn't want to lose something for a small thing.
Gu Qiancheng hurriedly came back and said with a happy face: "Thank you, father. There is a white jade medicine pillow in the dowry left by my mother, which is in a sandalwood box. Please trouble me father."
He bowed his hands and clasped his hands to the bottom, which gave Uncle Gu a lot of face. Uncle Gu felt a little better, turned around and went back to the private treasury. Gu Qiancheng did not follow him in, but just waited outside.
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour... Three quarters of an hour passed, but Uncle Gu still didn't come out. Mrs. Gu was quite uneasy, "Why haven't you come out yet? Could it be that you haven't found him?"
"There are only three sandalwood boxes inside. It's impossible not to find them." The more Mrs. Gu thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She wanted to rush in and take a look, but when she saw the closed private door, she didn't dare to open it rashly.
Gu Qiancheng was silent and stood quietly outside the private room. At this time, there was no one watching the excitement outside the private room, except for the master of the Gu family, who was also the servant of the Gu family. Mrs. Gu waited for another quarter of an hour, but she really couldn't wait any longer.
Go down and forcefully ask the servant to open the door.
The servant had no choice but to open the door, but...
As soon as the private room door opened, everyone was dumbfounded.
"Master, Master, what's going on?" Mrs. Gu covered her mouth hard to prevent herself from screaming.
Empty boxes, why are they all empty boxes!
"Where are the things? Master, where are the things in the box?" Those are all treasures, why are they gone?
"It's gone, everything is gone." Uncle Gu fell to the ground without any image, his eyes were straight, "There is nothing, it's empty, it's empty, it's all empty."
"How is it possible? How could it be all empty? How could there be so many valuable things all empty? I packed those things into boxes one by one." Mrs. Gu rushed in and opened the boxes everywhere like crazy, looking for them.
.
No wonder Uncle Gu and Mrs. Gu were so out of control. In their opinion, Gu Qiancheng's things belonged to them, and if anything was lost, it was all their own.
"There is a thief, sir. There must be a thief. Someone lured the thief in to steal something." After Mrs. Gu searched for it, she didn't find anything valuable. She immediately yelled at Gu Qiancheng, almost saying that she had stolen something.
The person behind the thing is Gu Qiancheng.
Gu Qiancheng pretended not to see it and stood at the door, trembling slightly and shaking his head in disbelief: "Father, father, where is the dowry my mother left me? Why is it all empty? How could this happen?"
"It's you, it must be you. Did you join forces with outsiders to steal our family's things?" Mrs. Gu was about to go crazy and pounced on Gu Qiancheng regardless.
Although Gu Qiancheng was sad on his face, he was sneering in his heart. After avoiding Mrs. Gu, he shouted angrily: "Madam, please don't slander others. Why do you mean I join forces with outsiders to steal your things? These are my mother's dowry.
, my mother and father have divorced, and even if her dowry is not given to me, it will still be returned to the Wu family. It is not the property of the Gu family at all."
"What's the Wu family? It's yours. These are my Gu family's things and our Gu family's." Mrs. Gu lost a large sum of money and felt as uncomfortable as having her heart ripped out. She didn't even know what she said.
"You... are simply being unreasonable. My dowry was placed in the private treasury, and the old lady ordered someone to carry it. Now there is nothing in the private treasury, but you are saying that it was stolen by me. How could you do this?" Gu Qiancheng wiped his eyes hard.
, his eyes immediately turned red.
Gu Qiancheng looked at Uncle Gu with an aggrieved look, "Father, you are all my family, how could you do this to me? How could you..."
A drop of clear tears slipped from the corner of Gu Qiancheng's eyes, as if he couldn't bear what he was seeing.
"You didn't take the thing, so who could it be?" Mrs. Gu was stunned, and the word "Old Madam" automatically appeared in her mind.
"How could you do this, how could you be so helpless..." Gu Qiancheng didn't say the next words, he covered his mouth, turned around and ran out...
