"Old slave Tan, originally served the old lady. However, later she became pregnant with the young master, so the old slave was assigned to the old lady to help her get well."
Seeing that Gu Chengyu's expression remained unchanged, Tan's mother quickly stopped and started talking about business.
"That day, there was still drizzle in the sky, and the weather had turned to autumn. It was a bleak and cold day. The imperial court suddenly sent officials to besiege the Xue Mansion. The leading official said that it was a heinous crime for the Xue Mansion to have liaisons with foreign countries. They
On the order of the emperor, they came to search the house, and all the members of the Xue family were killed. No one could escape. "
"At that time, my wife was having a seizure and the girl was about to be born. She didn't know what happened to the Xue Mansion. After she gave birth to the girl, she was picked up by servants sent by the Zhenguo Palace, but they gave the newborn girl to her.
Stayed."
This was not the first time Liu Su'er heard Tan's mother talk about this story. At first, she thought her mother was trying to survive for herself, so she ignored her and her brother's lives.
But later, when I heard Tan's mother say that she was holding her infant self in the capital to inquire about news, she discovered that her mother had also died in the Duke's Mansion.
Her maiden name was Xue Shuyao, which was the name her father married her before she was born. But she had never even seen her father's face, and his father left.
Liu Suer burst into tears and started crying.
"You are a servant of the Xue Mansion. Why were you able to get out of the Xue Mansion and not be sold along with those servants?"
Gu Chengyu raised his doubts and wanted to believe them. Who knew if this was their conspiracy?
Is it such a coincidence that things in the world are so coincidental? As soon as I learned from Xue Miao that Xue's baby girl was still alive in the world, a girl came up and said that she was the baby girl. No matter who it was, there would be something in her heart.
Doubtful.
"It's a coincidence that the Xue Mansion was ransacked at that time. Both men and women were executed by Qiu Houwen. The servants in the mansion were also sold out. Only the old slaves and the head of the family were spared. Because the house was being ransacked.
A month ago, the old slave was not in good health. The old lady was afraid that the old slave would pass on his illness to his wife, and because the old slave had served him with all his heart for so many years, she returned the love to the old slave and his wife.
Deed, go to the government and eliminate the slave status."
She had served the old lady for many years. The old lady knew that she did not have much time left, so she gave her to her.
It’s just that the wife is already being taken care of by her dowry mother, so how much trust can there be in her?
Although her wife respected her very much, her position was still a bit awkward.
Later, she contracted a cold, and the wife discussed with the old lady to cancel their slave status and allow them to return to their hometown.
In fact, this is a great favor. No matter how rich and noble the family is, they are still just servants serving their master. They are naturally happy to have the opportunity to eliminate their slave status.
It's just that she and the head of the family have been married for many years and have not given birth to a son or a daughter, which is really a pity.
But they have been somewhat decent in the house over the years, and have saved a lot of money, so they can live a prosperous life after they go out.
They agreed to wait until the wife gave birth to their son before they left the house. This was the last moment of their relationship with the Xue Mansion. Who knew that such a thing would happen on the day when the wife gave birth to her son.
Such a sudden incident caught the Xue family by surprise.
The old man was imprisoned when he went to court. The mansion was in a state of chaos. The Xue family, which had enjoyed great fame in the capital, fell apart overnight.
Those who will be returned to slavery will always have some dignity in the house. Gu Chengyu is not interested in why Tan's mother was returned to slavery. Anyway, the person who took care of the orphan in the end was not this woman, and she was probably another victim of family fighting.
!
Liu Suer saw that Gu Chengyu seemed to know very much about Xue's case, and how could he know that she was not entrusted to Mama Tan back then?
Moreover, just now Gu Chengyu didn't seem surprised that Xue had an orphan. Did Gu Chengyu already know that Xue had an orphan alive?
So how much does he know about Xue's case? Is it possible that the other party is secretly investigating Xue's case?
Thinking of this, Liu Su'er's eyes couldn't help but shine, and she had a certain degree of confidence in her next plea.
"There was someone else who took Miss Liu away at that time, but why did he stay with you later?"
Gu Chengyu was not worried about them finding out that he knew a lot about Xue's case, and it didn't even matter if they discovered that Xue Miao was in his hands.
He originally wanted to use Xue Miao to cast a long line to catch big fish. Even if these people were sent by others, wouldn't this just muddy the water?
Xue Miao was in his hands, and he was afraid that those people wouldn't dare to come!
"Why does Mr. Gu know so much? Did you meet the girl who took me away?" Liu Su'er asked in a deep voice.
"There is no need for these officers to tell Miss Liu. I have my own way of knowing. All you need to do now is answer my questions."
Gu Chengyu wanted to see if what these people said was consistent with what Xue Miao said.
"The old slave didn't understand what was going on. When the Xue family was beheaded, the old slave and the head of the family had nothing to do with the Xue Mansion. Later, after being investigated, they were released. But the old slave did not leave the capital at that time. He wanted to go
We collected the body for the old lady and the others, but the government refused to let us do it, so we had no choice. We wanted to leave right away and drove the carriage back to our hometown. But we didn’t expect to meet Yilan, the girl from the Xue Mansion, on the street. The old slave was a little strange. Yilan
It should have been sold, but why did it appear in Nancheng? So we followed it and planned to find out."
"I didn't want to but saw a baby in her arms. The head of the house and I thought about it carefully and we were sure that the baby was the baby girl that my wife had just given birth to. We didn't know what the reason was, and we wanted to go up and ask. But suddenly
Two flower photographers rushed out and kidnapped Yilan."
Speaking of this, Tan's mother still has lingering fears.
She continued: "Of course the master and I stepped forward to stop him, and the master fought with the two men. The two men still had knives on their bodies. The master was defeated and was cut open on his arm. The old slave only said
Before he could snatch the girl, Yilan was snatched away by the two of them."
Uncle Qin stepped forward and rolled up his sleeves. Gu Chengyu immediately looked over and saw that there was indeed a scar of about ten centimeters.
"The villain was defeated by the two of them. He failed to save Yilan at that time. Now I don't know where Yilan was sold to. Alas!"
Uncle Qin sighed. You can imagine where a pretty girl was sold to in the end. However, there was nothing he could do at the time. Those two people were extremely vicious people, and their swords had no eyes!
They still had the girl on hand, and they couldn't take the girl to find Yilan. The city-wide manhunt had not yet ended.
"Perhaps the old man entrusted the girl to Yilan? That's what we guessed later." Uncle Qin thought for a moment and then said.
