"Excuse me, Uncle Qin! It's really hard for Uncle Qin to drive the carriage for so long. When we arrive in the capital, you and Mother Tan can rest more."
The soft and melodious female voice filled Uncle Qin's ears. Uncle Qin laughed, "What's the trouble of just driving the carriage?"
As he said this, he seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes couldn't help but turn red. The girl was really suffering!
"Xiaobao, it's my mother who has dragged you down after all!" The carriage turned into the Gu Mansion, and Mrs. Lu's eyes were red.
"What are you talking about, mother? How could it be a drag on me? Without mother, where would I come from? Mother, don't think too much. My son is still thinking that my son is useless, which makes my mother unable to straighten up."
Gu Chengyu helped his mother get out of the carriage, but Mrs. Lu grabbed his hand and was deeply moved.
"How could it be your fault? You just have a different background. In terms of talent, how have you ever lost? When it comes to making money, those aristocratic families can't compare with you. Each of these dandies who only know how to spend money has never made anything on their own.
Silver? Even if you join a wealthy family, those people will treat you as a treasure."
In the past, her family's life was difficult, and in Shangling Village, no one made any issue with her background.
Later, when Lu Yang's incident happened, she began to hate her past a little.
But she didn't expect that her son would become an official. When she came to the capital, she found that her son was looked down upon by others because of his background.
And most of it is because of myself, because I was once a slave who served others.
Her son was a proud son of heaven, and when he was looked down upon in such a way, she was almost heartbroken, but she did not dare to speak out.
"Mom! What does it matter if you have a poor background? Which dynasty or generation did not have officials who came from farmers? Even if your son has a poor background, he can still earn a life for you. What they want to say is their business, and those behind the aristocratic families are also criticized.
."
"People can't choose their origin, and my son has never resented it. People in the world are superficial. When I climb to a high position, how can those people care about my origin? In the final analysis, my son's official position is low, and you have been wronged.
, don’t think too much about it.”
Mrs. Lu nodded when she saw that she was almost in the inner courtyard. Her son had never let her down.
The tenderness between mother and son made Ming Mo, who was following beside her, quietly blush.
"Sir! Old lady!" Ming Yan hurriedly came in from the outer courtyard and saluted the two of them.
Gu Chengyu knew that Ming Yan had something to say, so he asked the girl Qingxia to help Lu into the inner courtyard.
After returning to the outer study room, Gu Chengyu finished washing up and then asked Ming Yan to report.
"Sir! Today, Miss Yao took Mama Gao and the others to Fourth Master's hospital and met with Mr. Li."
Gu Chengyu nodded, probably going to thank him. Yao Mengxian was grateful to Li Langzhong for helping to conceal it this time, otherwise his life would not have been saved.
"But after Miss Yao and the others went in, they met Mrs. Yao, Mr. Li's wife. They seemed to know each other. From their conversations, it can be seen that they must have some connections."
Ming Yan told the news that his men had gathered, but unfortunately when the Yao family and others were talking, only the Yao family and Miss Yao were present in the room, and even the fourth wife was not in the room.
It was broad daylight and it was not easy for them to fly directly onto the bed, so they only found out this bit of information.
"Oh? Miss Yao knows Mr. Li's wife?"
Gu Chengyu was a little surprised, but then he thought, Mr. Li's wife was also named Yao. Could it be that these two people were actually the same family?
He got up and walked around the study. Ming Yan and the others knew that Gu Chengyu was thinking, so they didn't dare to disturb him anymore.
He remembered an old incident. Back then, the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was related by marriage to the Xue family that had been massacred, and the old Duke's eldest daughter married Xue Shiqian, the eldest young master of the Xue family.
But later he only heard that when the Xue family was imprisoned in Dali Temple, the aunt of Zhenguo Gongfu committed suicide. Is it possible that this was the Yao family?
He thought about Li Langzhong again, or maybe Li Langzhong played an important role here.
Yao was about the same age as the eldest aunt of the Zhenguo Palace, but Yao had already given birth to a son and a daughter. The eldest son was already 18 years old, and the younger daughter was still in her infancy.
Even if Mr. Yao and Mr. Li later got together, what happened to Mr. Li’s daughter?
Mr. Li's daughter was already about twenty-five years old, which was inappropriate for her age. The eldest aunt was at least in her twenties when she died.
Gu Chengyu thought about it, if Mr. Li's daughter was not born to the Yao family, then it would make sense.
Perhaps Mr. Yao was not Mr. Li’s first wife, and Mr. Li’s first wife may have passed away for some reason.
And Li Langzhong met Yao who was already desperate at that time, and resorted to various means to save Yao.
In the end, in order to prevent people from the capital from finding out, he went to Shangling Village to live in seclusion.
If you think about it this way, everything can be explained.
Mr. Li was a skilled doctor, but he was willing to be a country doctor in Shangling Village. Mr. Yao stayed at home and behaved like a noblewoman from an aristocratic family.
Li Langzhong and the others followed them to the capital, but were anxious to go back. This all proves that the truth is consistent with what he thought.
This is a bit difficult to handle. Yao is the legitimate daughter of Zhen Guo Gongfu, and she lives in seclusion because of such things.
Now that she has come to the capital, who knows what uncontrollable things will happen? Will these things affect the fourth brother?
The fourth brother has no foundation in the capital, and his biggest reliance is on himself. But he is only a student at the Hanlin Academy. If something happens, can his small body be able to bear it?
Gu Chengyu sighed deeply. Besides, as for Mr. Li, he felt that Mr. Li might be hiding something.
This may be a person with a bigger story than Yao, but he just hides it deeply!
It seems that we have to find an opportunity to talk to the fourth brother, and we can't let the fourth brother be kept in the dark. The fourth brother worships Li Langzhong as his teacher, and after all, he is involved in these disputes.
"Is Third Master's shop going to open soon?" Gu Chengyu turned around and asked Ming Yan.
His third brother had been looking for a shop some time ago, and he also asked the storekeeper in the mansion to help him find it, but his third sister-in-law was always dissatisfied. Either the location was not good, or the rent of the shop was too expensive.
In fact, he knew what the third sister-in-law meant, she just wanted him to help pay for it.
They are all members of his own family, so he will not be stingy with this little money, and he does not want to argue with his third sister-in-law.
Naturally, he was willing to help out. After all, he was the one who asked Third Brother and the others to come to the capital to open a shop.
But the third brother disagreed and said he didn't want to take advantage of his younger brother, which made him very helpless.
The shop matter has been delayed for several days, and then we found the shop. It should be open in the next two days.
Ming Yan didn't expect that Gu Chengyu would suddenly ask about this matter. Didn't he just talk about Mr. Li?
"It's said to be opening the day after tomorrow. I guess you won't be able to go there the day after tomorrow." Gu Chengyu wants to go to the Hanlin Academy to accept Mao the day after tomorrow, so naturally he won't be able to go.
