"Sir, please have some tea!" Tan's mother came over with a tray and put the tea bowl on the table.
Gu Chengyu's eyes swept over the tea bowl. He smiled and nodded, but did not stretch out his hand.
A common people's home, even though the family is not considered wealthy, still has the habit of using tea bowls. Common people usually use sea bowls to serve tea.
"Uncle Liu, we want to see your Guan Ping Lu Yin." Zhang Yang glanced at Gu Chengyu sitting in the room and couldn't help but feel depressed.
When Gu Chengyu heard the address, he immediately turned his head, Uncle Liu? Are this family members familiar with Zhang Yang?
"Hey! I'm going to get it right now!"
While several people were questioning a family of three, Gu Chengyu stood up and looked around the house. Liu Suer had already bandaged her wound, and she looked at Gu Chengyu with a somewhat complicated look.
In fact, she also understood that Gu Chengyu was beginning to doubt her, right?
She glanced at the floor tiles beside the kang, bit her lip, and then a look of determination appeared on her face.
If I don't seize the opportunity today, I'm afraid it will be difficult to see Gu Chengyu again in the future.
She took a deep breath, stepped forward and said to Gu Chengyu, "Master Gu, I have something to ask of you!"
"Su'er!" Tan's mother exclaimed. She saw that the girl wanted to tell the story, but didn't they agree to wait?
The emperor had just passed away and the new emperor had not yet ascended the throne. What's more, she saw that Lord Gu was not that kind of warm-hearted person and was not easy to talk to.
Liu Su'er turned back and shook her head towards Tan's mother, then glanced at the anxious Uncle Qin, then turned back and looked firmly at Gu Chengyu.
"Oh? Miss, what do you want me to ask you?" Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl and put it to his mouth, covering up the slightly raised corners of his mouth. Could he finally hold it back?
It's just that my previous guess seemed to be wrong, and the other party might not be a spy.
Liu Su'er glanced at Zhang Yang and others in the room, and then said: "Please let the others stay away!"
Zhang Yang's face was livid, although he knew in his heart that which girl would not fall in love with Mr. Gu after seeing him? But he still couldn't let go.
He considered his family to be wealthy, and originally wanted a matchmaker to come and find out if the Liu family was interested in getting married.
Now it seems that this was all his extravagant imagination, and Miss Liu didn't take him to heart at all. Until now, the other party didn't even take a closer look at herself.
Gu Chengyu slowly put down the tea bowl placed by his mouth, turned back to look at Zhang Yang and others, "You guys go out first!"
"Sir, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to be here alone!" Zhang Yang was still a little unwilling, so he thought of a very good excuse.
Gu Chengyu glanced over with a cold gaze, raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yang's scalp suddenly went numb. He couldn't help but swallowed when he remembered what his colleagues had said today about Mr. Gu's heroic killing of enemies in the palace. He also remembered the broken jade just now.
With my three-legged cat skills, isn’t it just a trick?
An official next to him quickly pulled Zhang Yang, then bent down and replied: "Sir! Those low-ranking officials will retire now."
Gu Chengyu nodded, then turned his eyes again.
This person pulled Zhang Yang into the yard, looked back at the closed room, and then said in a cold voice: "Don't bother us. Don't think about things you shouldn't think about."
He is an official of the fourth rank. Not to mention the emperor who has passed away, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is about to succeed is very important. His career in the future will definitely be smooth.
Even if that girl becomes Lord Gu's concubine, it is better than being the head wife of their small family.
Isn't Zhang Yang just wishful thinking? What he did just now is simply digging his own grave. When the time comes, the adults will be unhappy and they will also be implicated.
Looking at Zhang Yang's gloomy expression, colleague Wang Jun's expression softened, knowing that his words were a bit harsh just now. He patted Zhang Yang on the shoulder and comforted him: "There is no need for a real man to have a wife. We just met today. This capital city
There are so many good girls out there, just ask the matchmaker to marry you when the time comes!"
After that, he no longer looked at Zhang Yang, but turned around and stood guard at the entrance of the courtyard. He would never dare to leave unless Mr. Gu told them to leave.
Liu Su'er looked at the tea bowl on the table. Gu Chengyu didn't drink the tea just now. Is this because he was wary and suspicious of his family?
Perhaps her actions before made the other party mistakenly think that she had an ulterior motive for approaching him? However, she did have an ulterior motive.
Uncle Qin and Mama Tan were a little panicked. If Mr. Gu refused to help and leaked the matter, not only would they fail to accomplish the task, but they would also be in danger.
Liu Su'er walked up to Gu Chengyu and knelt down with a "pop" sound.
"I beg you, sir, to make the decision for my daughter. I want to clear away the grievances of the family and restore my Xue family's innocence."
Liu Suer's voice was trembling. God knows how much courage it took for her to say such a thing?
When Gu Chengyu heard this, his eyes narrowed. He sat up straight and looked at Liu Su'er, who had her head lowered. He couldn't help but be shocked.
He thought Liu Su'er was a spy sent by someone before, but when Liu Su'er said this, he remembered it.
Xue Miao said before that when the Xue family was confiscated and her family was exterminated, the Yao family was pregnant and gave birth on the day of the confiscation.
According to Xue Miao, a baby girl was born that day.
Seventeen years have passed since this incident. If the baby girl has grown up, she will be seventeen years old, which is consistent with the age of the girl in front of her.
However, Xue Miao also said that the baby girl was separated from him back then, and it was a teenage girl who took her away.
But he saw that the age of the woman behind Liu Su'er did not match that of the little girl. The woman must be in her forties or fifties, while the little girl should be less than thirty now.
Even if you live a poor life, you will never grow old so quickly.
Seeing Gu Chengyu's silence, Liu Su'er quickly asked: "I believe Mr. Gu must have heard about the Xue family's murder case seventeen years ago, right? The person the little girl just mentioned was the Xue family."
"The little girl was originally a daughter of the Xue family, her maiden name was Xue Shuyao. The day she was born was when the Xue family was confiscated and exterminated."
Speaking of this, Liu Suer's eyes filled with tears, feeling extremely sad for her miserable life experience and the family that gave birth to her.
In fact, she had just been born at that time and had no impression of the Xue family, let alone deep feelings for her. But who called her the daughter of the Xue family?
Of the Xue family, she and her uncle were the only ones who survived. How could she watch the Xue family being unfairly wronged?
Tan's mother had already burst into tears at this time. As Liu Su'er narrated, she had already recalled the past events.
"Master Gu! The girl was afraid that there were some things that were not clear at the time, so let the old slave tell you!"
Gu Chengyu turned his attention to Tan's mother, and sure enough, she was Xue's servant back then.
