When her son arrived, Ms. Yu didn't feel guilty at all, and even glared at him, "You idiot, you don't have the slightest doubt about her, don't think about it, the whole Liu family has been like maltose for so many years, and they can't get rid of her.
?”
"We are both sisters, and Liu Shuanghe is so scheming, how can she be any better?"
Chu Yunli was full of curiosity, but she was embarrassed to ask. After all, she was the step-mother now, and it would be too unfavorable to ask.
She herself didn't care what Gu Zong thought of her, but she didn't forget that Luo Manniang had been happy with this man all her life, and she couldn't be disgusted by him. Of course, she couldn't let this man be happy with who she was now. During this period, there was someone
She has to control it well.
So, she quietly found a place to sit down, trying to reduce her presence and concentrate on listening to the story.
Gu Zong really couldn't hold it back, "Mother, she has been dead for many years. The deceased is the most important. She gave birth to Nian Shuang to the Gu family. No matter whether she is right or wrong, don't mention it again."
"She is my daughter-in-law, how can she be older in front of me?" Mrs. Yu scolded, "You praise a scheming woman as more important than your own mother. She is really going to make a difference."
Gu Zong was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but ask, "That day when I went out of town, I ran into her and was bullied. Was it her plan?"
"When did I lie to you?" Ms. Yu glared at her son, with a look of hatred on her face, "You insisted on marrying her, so I asked someone to check it out. At that time, I knew the man who bullied her.
The son of the family was seriously ill, and the Liu family asked someone to help him treat his son, but he was willing to go to jail with the reputation of bullying women."
"If you don't believe it, that man is still in prison now. He has been in prison for so many years and he is not a criminal. It is not difficult to see him. If you are willing, you can go and ask in person and you will understand everything."
Gu Zong stood with his hands behind his back. Although his face was calm, his hands behind his back were trembling slightly, "Why didn't you tell me before?"
"I just said it, is it useful?" Mrs. Yu became more and more angry, "You are honest, if I said it, you would think that I was the one who slandered her. Even if the person in the prison testified, I'm afraid you would think that it was me who slandered her.
I am trying to beat the mandarin ducks out of their minds."
Gu Zong was silent again.
His complexion gradually turned pale.
Chu Yunli: "..." It's really a big show.
After so many years, if Yu mentions it now, there is no possibility of slandering her.
It's not necessary!
Mrs. Yu felt a little distressed when she saw this, "The deceased is already dead. As you said, no matter how much she did wrong, she still gave birth to Nian Shuang for the Gu family. I don't care how you want to remember her. I won't treat the Liu family well for her."
Don't tell me." She changed the subject and her tone suddenly became sharp, "Now the Liu family actually wants to hurt your father. They have such courage because they were spoiled by you!"
"Back then, the Liu family was just a small businessman, and they were hungry during the disaster years. They calculated that Shuanghu knew you, and maybe he just wanted to marry her as a concubine. But you were deeply in love with her, and insisted on marrying her regardless of family ties.
Wife. Even if she is gone, I have still helped her take care of the Liu family for so many years, and even went beyond the Luo family."
Chu Yunli had been pretending that she only had ears left to listen to the story. When she noticed Yu's gaze, she could only smile.
When Mrs. Yu spoke, no matter what Gu Zong thought in his heart, he could only listen obediently.
Moreover, he was uneasy at the moment and had no intention of refuting his mother's words.
"Even in front of you, I have to say that I don't like either of my daughters-in-law. But Manniang knows how to advance and retreat, and the Luo family knows how to measure. I don't know how much better than the one before you. From now on, if you let me know
I treat Man Niang badly and I will never let you go!"
Chu Yunli: "..." Why did you start supporting her?
Although she doesn't need help, it feels good to have someone protecting her.
"As for the Liu family, please calm down as soon as possible. No matter how much you helped in the past, now they have reached out to your father. If you don't want to go against your own mother, stop protecting him."
This was a warning. Although she didn't think her son would be that stupid.
Gu Zong smiled bitterly, "Mom, there is a bottom line for me to help the Liu family. I protect Shuanghu out of affection for them, but they have no affection for the Gu family at all, and they can't save any effort. My son will never protect such a person again."
Damn it. If Shuanghu is to blame..." Thinking of that person, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He wiped his face and said, "Mom, my son has something to do outside. I will come see you tomorrow."
He didn't even eat any food, so he turned around and left.
His feet were hurried, and he looked like he was running away.
Chu Yunli saw it in her eyes and said, "It's also pitiful."
The love they thought was as deep as the sea was just a calculation for others. The key was that Gu Zong had been convinced that the two were in love for many years. For Liu Shuanghu, he would not even touch another woman, even Luo Manniang, who he was forced to marry for the sake of his children.
.If Gu Nianshuang had been a boy, Gu Zongxing might not have remarried.
In Luo Manniang's memory, when she got a man with one fell swoop, the man was really relieved.
"Why are you pitiful?" Mrs. Yu sneered, "My son is very smart in business, but he is too stupid emotionally. He is not like his father at all."
Chu Yunli: "..." He said it as if he was like his father.
There were more than 20 concubines in the central area of Gu's father's backyard. The eldest was over fifty years old, and the youngest was no more than a young woman. During this time, he was ill, and many of them wanted to come to take care of him. Fortunately, Mrs. Yu was able to suppress her.
Otherwise, I don’t know how many great dramas I would have to perform.
Compared with that, Chu Yunli still felt that it was better for Gu Zong to guard Luo Manniang like this, which was stupid.
Although there is someone else in his heart, that person is no longer there, or almost non-existent!
Of course, after today, it may really be gone.
As the old saying goes, the living cannot compare to the dead.
Liu Shuanghu passed away in her best years. Even if there were some bad things about her, as time goes by, all that remains in Gu Zong’s memory is her beauty. The more I miss her, the more I pity her, and the more I pity her, the more I miss her.
This is an endless cycle.
The next day, the two sisters came over to practice swordplay in the morning and curiously asked about the Liu family, the Xia family and the Fu family.
Gu Daoyan said seriously, "Mom, do you want us to help? We can't let them go..." At this point, he paused hastily and looked at Gu Nianshuang next to him with a guilty conscience, "Sister, Mr. Zhou knows everything. If the Liu family
If they are wronged, I will definitely give them justice."
This was said with considerable skill.
If the Liu family is punished, it will prove that they are not unjust.
Gu Nianshuang's face looked a little pale, "You are right. If the Liu family really takes action, they will be punished."
In the afternoon, the mother and daughter were having lunch when Gu Zong came back.
The three of them were quite surprised. He has been very busy recently. After Gu's father's condition stabilized, he sometimes didn't come back at night. When he came back at noon, it had been many days.
He was a little quiet today. After dinner, he went to the yard to practice swordsmanship for a quarter of an hour. After finishing, he looked at the two sisters and said, "You go back and take a nap."
After they left, he looked at Chu Yunli and said, "Can you accompany me?"
Chu Yunli smiled, "Where are you going?"
"Prison!"
Gu Zong rubbed his brows, "I want someone to accompany me, but now I... have no friends. Apart from my parents and children, I can't find anyone close to me to face this."
To a certain extent, this is considered a family scandal.
Even if he has friends outside, it is not appropriate to tell him, Chu Yunli is really the most suitable candidate.
Listening to stories is Chu Yunli's favorite. Especially Luo Manniang has never been better than Liu Shuanghu in her life, so she wants to hear it too. She immediately smiled and said, "Okay. Let me bring something, such as a handkerchief, it will come in handy later."
superior."
After the couple took the carriage and went out, Gu Zong realized what she said. Did she mean that he would cry when he learned the inside story?
Gu Zong gave a bitter smile, maybe he would really cry.
The prison is located not far from the Yamen, and a large area around it is extremely empty. The carriage stopped, and Gu Zong's entourage went to find the Yamen. Not long after, a man in his forties came out and said, "You two, follow me in."
The courtyard wall is very high. After entering the two gates, the smell inside becomes stronger. The smell of sweat, musty smell, and blood are mixed together, which is very unpleasant.
Gu Zong frowned slightly, and the officer turned around and smiled, "It doesn't taste very good. You should walk faster. It's good for you and us. If the adults find out, we will all be punished."
The further you walked in, the more unpleasant the smell became. You could see all kinds of prisoners in the cells on both sides. Some were yelling like crazy, some were sitting quietly in the corner, and some were grabbing hay and rubbing it. Some were even rubbing it.
I was groping around my head... If I guessed correctly, I was catching lice.
This place is really not a good place. People will really go crazy if they live there for a long time.
Chu Yunli glanced casually a few times, but Gu Zong didn't even look at it, pulling on Chu Yunli's sleeves and speeding up his steps.
"This is it, you two, please hurry up."
The officer said something and stood not far away.
In the corner, there was a man lying bent over. He turned around when he heard the noise. He was slightly startled when he saw the two people. After identifying them carefully for a while, he hesitated and said, "Gu Shaodong's house?" His voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time.
Gu Zong knelt down and asked, "Do you still know me?"
Chu Yunli: "..." Not crazy! Thank God, I heard the story.
The man stood up and sat against the wall. It could be seen that one of his legs was atrophied and could not move at all. His hair was all messy and his face could not be seen clearly. Only his chapped lips and skinny hands could be seen.
His voice was also hoarse, "Of course I know you. The young master of the Liu family took me to look at you for many days, because he was afraid that I might recognize the wrong person."
Chu Yunli: "..." What a tragedy!
He has already said this, what is the difference between saying clearly that it was the Liu family who was scheming?
Gu Zong looked grim, "Tell me carefully."
The man fell silent.
The smell around her was really bad, and Gu Zong became impatient, "Since you didn't really bully her back then, tell me the truth. Maybe I will help you reverse the case!"
"Reverse the verdict?" The man's dirty face suddenly brightened up with two eyes, "Can I get out?"
Gu Zong said impatiently, "I'll leave if you don't tell me."
By this time, he regretted coming. If he hadn't come, that person would always be pure and kind and love him deeply.
So be it!
He turned and left.
The man had been in prison for more than ten years in the dark. Now that he could get out, he would give up. He immediately rushed over with lightning speed. I don’t know why he was so fast dragging his residual leg. He grabbed hold of him so fast.
Hugging Gu Zong's feet tightly, "I told you everything, exactly as it is!"
