321 Death Care Orphan
Gu Zhehan was in sadness, and Gu Yan couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only send someone to protect Yu's mansion first, hoping that Hu Youliang's secret guards would all die, and no one would be left here in Changzhou. Even if there were, don't be so crazy, and kill both Mrs. Yu and Miss Yu for revenge.
But she didn't expect that as soon as she finished giving Rong Yi the order, Shuxiang walked in sweating profusely. She didn't avoid Rong Yi and whispered in Gu Yan's ear: "Madam Yu is gone."
Gu Yan opened her eyes and looked at Shuxiang in surprise, "What did you say? How could it be? Could it be that Hu Youliang's secret guards arrived in Changzhou?"
Shuxiang shook her head, "No, Mrs. Yu didn't know where to learn about Mr. Yu's death, and she fainted on the spot. Miss Yu also fainted. When the Yu family was in a state of chaos, Mrs. Yu woke up. After waking up, she arranged everything at home and wrote a letter to the eldest master. Then she died while the person was not paying attention.
There is also Hu Youliang's secret guard. When I just came back from the front door, I saw the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard. He was talking to the master. When I heard this, I said that Hu Youliang's secret guards were all broken in the capital, and none of them came back."
Gu Yan didn't say anything for a long time, and knocked on the table thoughtfully. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked up at Shuxiang.
"Where is the letter Mrs. Yu wrote before her death?"
Shuxiang took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Gu Yan. "I thought that Mrs. Yu died despite Miss Yu's death, and wrote a letter to the eldest master. I was probably entrusting Miss Yu to the eldest master. I didn't dare to hand it over to the eldest master, but I thought I would give it to the young lady first before talking about it."
Gu Yan nodded and opened the letter, and praised: "You did a good job this time. I'm afraid Mrs. Yu is just as you thought, wanting to entrust Miss Yu to my brother. She is my brother's teacher's wife. If she really does this, then..."
Gu Yan stopped talking, her hands holding the letter paper were trembling, and she became more angry the more she looked at it. In the end, her face was so dark that she wanted to drag Mrs. Yu's body out and whip the corpse.
Shuxiang took a step back in horror, and saw Gu Yan closing her eyes, holding the letter paper tightly clasping her fingers together, showing a blue-white color, and the corners of her mouth were constantly trembling, and the murderous intent on her body was no less than that when she was in the school that day.
What did Mrs. Yu say? It won’t be as she thought, right? If that were the case, wouldn’t the eldest master follow his master’s wife’s wishes and marry Miss Yu?
The book's eyes widened and looked at the letter in Gu Yan's hand in disbelief.
"Master, is it... she really dares to do this?"
Shuxiang's second half of the sentence was so light that even Rong didn't hear it very clearly, but he could see from the expressions of Gu Yan and Shuxiang's master and servant that the master and servant were angry and murderous intent were more of a deep powerlessness.
Gu Yan did feel a little powerless, and what happened today was a bit tricky.
In the letter, Mrs. Yu proposed to let Gu Zhehan marry Yu Qian, and Yu Qian's dowry was the entire Yu family.
It seems that Gu Zhehan is a beneficiary. He can get the whole Yu family and beauties. But what about Yu family? Yu Donghai is just a teacher in his life. Although he is a master of calligraphy and painting, he is a noble person and never easily draws and writes. The family doesn’t have much money at all. It would be good to have three or five thousand taels of silver.
It’s not that Gu Yan despised the poor and loved the rich, but that Yu Donghai died and he still had a family. Yu Donghai had no son. After his death, his property was not owned by his wife and daughter, but by the entire family. As long as the clan claimed to adopt a son for him, Yu Qian could not keep Yu Donghai’s property as a daughter, and she would only let the clan members take Yu Donghai’s things for themselves, and she would arrange to marry by the clan leader. As for whom she married, it was not what she said.
If Gu Zhehan obeyed Mrs. Yu's words and married Yu Qian, he would have to fight for the benefits she deserved for Yu Qian, and Gu Zhehan would have to face the entire Yu family and compete with the Yu family for this inheritance.
If Gu Zhehan did not marry Yu Qian, as long as the Yu family and Yu Qian were willing to promote it, Gu Zhehan would not obey his last words and be ungrateful and unfair reputation would be decisive. From then on, Gu Zhehan would not want to find a wife he liked, and Emperor Wen of Wei would also secretly alienate him because of his reputation, regardless of the widow of a meritorious person. It would be even more difficult to think about Gu Zhehan again.
It was because Mrs. Yu was able to seize this point that she forced Gu Zhehan to plan for Yu Qian, and it would be best if she entered the Gu family and became the mistress of the Gu family.
She knew that with Gu An and Gu Zhehan's skills and Gu Yan, the Gu family's future was destined. As long as their family was not stupid, it was possible to compete for a title, so that her daughter would at least be a wife.
Gu Yan calmed down and opened her eyes to look at the letter paper in her hand.
"It's so scheming! My family forced me to marry her daughter into the house and let her enjoy all her wealth, hum!"
Shuxiang and Rong Yi were cold and looked up at Gu Yan.
The murderous aura on Gu Yan's body was about to turn into reality. The murderous aura was raging in the house like a storm. Gu Yan's clothes were moved without wind. Shuxiang and Rong Yi quickly lowered their heads. When their eyes swept across Gu Yan's clothes, their eyes shrank, and they bent down even more respectfully.
I don’t know how long it took, but Gu Yan seemed to have thought of something and suddenly laughed wildly.
"Hahaha... OK! Since she is calculating every way she wants her daughter to join the Gu family, I will do what she wants, but this result is not something I can say. Who can tell the relationship clearly? Hahaha..."
Shuxiang and Rongyi shook their bodies, and quietly took two steps back uneasyly, and at the same time, they observed a silence for Miss Yu whom they had never met!
The master (the princess) is angry, and the consequences are very serious. The only thing is that your mother has touched the bottom line of the master (the princess) and the master will never let your daughter go.
"Yan'er."
Gu Zhehan's voice sounded outside the yard. Gu Yan stopped laughing and waved his hand and hit the door with force. The door opened, revealing Gu Zhehan's haggard figure.
Gu Yan felt ache in her heart and frowned slightly, "I haven't figured it out yet?"
Gu Zhehan walked in, Rong Yi and Shuxiang took the opportunity to retreat, standing in the yard without saying a word.
Gu Zhehan smiled bitterly, "What's the matter that can't be understood? The moment the master decided to enter Beijing, the ending was already destined. Hu Youliang's secret guard is not a vegetarian."
Gu Zhehan sat opposite Gu Yan and poured himself a cup of tea.
"Sister, I know what you are thinking. Don't worry, I'm fine."
Gu Yan sneered and threw the letter on the table, "When you finish reading this letter, you will tell me it's okay."
Gu Zhehan looked at the letter on the table in surprise, and then looked at Gu Yan.
"Give it to me?"
Gu Yan was not ashamed of peeking at Gu Zhehan's letter, and nodded without changing his face, "Well, your good teacher's wife gave you, congratulations to brother, I'm happy to be a beauty."
Gu Yan curled her lips sarcastically, with the contempt and disdain in her eyes and was not afraid that Gu Zhehan would see it.
Gu Zhehan picked up the table
I read the letter from beginning to end, and suddenly put it on the table, closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down.
He is low-key, but he is not stupid. His master's wife is clearly calculating him, and she is also an open conspiracy and can't even hide.
I thought his master and his wife were good people, but now it doesn't seem like this. He knew from the time he talked with his master at Ci'en Temple that his master had disagreeable views and was not a member of the same place.
If parents are like this, can children taught good?
No need to think about it, Yu Qian may not be able to go with him. If she really married her, wouldn’t the family have a quarrel?
Besides, there are too many secrets in the Gu family, and people who are not trusted cannot be known. Even if Luo Rongxuan has known them for many years, he has only a slight understanding of the Gu family. The Gu family does not fully believe him. How good can Yu Qian, an outsider, use such despicable means to force him to submit? If she knew the secret of the Gu family, the consequences would be bad. Not to mention that the whole family would be executed, it would be almost the same.
Gu Zhehan suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Yu Qian cannot marry."
Gu Yan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.
She was really afraid that Gu Zhehan would become stubborn and marry Yu Qian after listening to Mrs. Yu. If that were the case, she would have to kill Yu Qian.
"But now, it's not that you don't want to marry her. If you don't want to marry her and she insists on marrying you, she may tell you about Mrs. Yu's entrusting her to the death, and your reputation will be over."
Gu Zhehan said calmly: "When she died, her parents value filial piety. She cannot get married during the period of filial piety. She just asks us to wait for us to go back and then mourn our grandmother. It can be delayed for another year. The three years combined will be enough for us to do a lot of things."
Gu Yan shook her head.
She really didn't understand why the Yu family couple was troubled? First, they forced their disciples to break away from him, and then they planned to marry his daughter. Even if the plot was successful, their daughter really married into the Gu family. With the Gu family's disgust towards her daughter, would she have a good life? The brother doesn't have to do anything else. As long as she doesn't exist, she will not be able to gain a foothold in the back house. What happiness can a living widow have? She can guarantee that she can conquer her brother's heart? Gu Zhehan is not soft-hearted, his heart is extremely hard, and the only softness is given to her and her parents. It is difficult for others to enter his heart.
Gu Yan lamented and looked at Gu Zhehan sympathetically.
Her brother is so pitiful! He is in his twenties and hasn't gotten married yet, so many children of his age have given birth to him, right?
Oh, by the way, there is another Luo Rongxuan, but he has married a wife at least. She and Luo Rongxuan can create children at any time, it depends on whether she wants to have children.
She didn't think that giving birth so early. It was very dangerous to give birth if she didn't grow up well. This is not a future generation. She can still get a caesarean child if she can't give birth. In this era, if she doesn't get it well, she will lose two lives!
Gu Yan's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head and took a sip of tea.
Let's wait. She is only sixteen years old this year, so there is no hurry.
Neither brother nor sister spoke, but at this time they forgot that Gu Zhehan's parents were still there, so where was the master's wife's turn to get engaged to him? As long as Gu An and Tang did not let go, this matter would not be done.
After a while, Luo Rongxuan came back after finishing his work and looked at his brother-in-law sitting in his room and rolled his eyes.
This is his and his wife's room. Although you are my wife's eldest brother, you are also a foreign man! You can't pay attention?
It’s a pity that Gu Yan and Gu Zhehan have something to do now, and no one cares about him, so they don’t see his reluctant expression.
Gu Zhehan closed his eyes, "Yan'er, help me make the wound on my face heavier."
Gu Yan's expression tightened and she frowned.
"Does my brother want to..."
Gu Zhehan is handsome, but there is a long scar on his face. In the past two years, in order to find a woman who does not value his appearance and family background, he has never cured the injury on his face. Originally, Gu Yan and Gu Zhehan wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to heal the injury on his face, but now it seems that he has to move back.
Gu Yan was so angry that she gritted her teeth. The gloom on her face did not relieve for a long time. Instead, it became stronger as Gu Yan was full of Qian.
Will Yu Qian be shocked when she saw the wound on her brother's face? It would be great if she could give up the idea of marrying into the Gu family. She didn't mind giving her a marriage in the future, and she was willing to be her backer.
It is useless to think more now. It depends on what Yu Qian thinks. Maybe they don’t want to marry into the Gu family. Nowadays, even literati look down on military generals. Maybe this lady has never thought about marrying her brother.
Gu Yan's face finally looked a little better when she thought of this. She felt that Yu Qian was not short of the chance of looking down on Gu Zhehan, but it was not very high.
Gu Yan and Gu Zhehan were not finished speaking, and Luo Rongxuan scratched his head and didn't understand what the two meant. He wanted to ask Gu Yan, but Gu Zhehan was still here. He didn't want his capable brother-in-law to look down on him, so he didn't ask too much. He could only wait for him to leave before asking Gu Yan.
Gu Yan disagreed with making Gu Zhehan's face worse. Many people outside know what Gu Zhehan's face hurts. If they make Gu Zhehan's face worse, those people will definitely see it. Let's ask them what's going on or what they see from it. It's really troublesome, so it's better to just do it.
Gu Zhehan did not stay any longer. After Luo Rongxuan threw countless resentful eyes at him, he went to Yu's mansion to help overnight, and by the way, he gave Yu Donghai's disciples, his seniors, a letter to him and asked them to come to the funeral.
Luo Rongxuan and Gu Zhehan walked away and ran to Gu Yan, letting her back to him, and pressed her hands on Gu Yan's shoulders.
Enjoying Luo Rongxuan's massage service, Gu Yan's sleepiness became stronger and he lay on the table with half closed eyes.
Luo Rongxuan's subordinates did not stop, but slowed down their severity and strength, and slowly withdrew their hands.
Luo Rongxuan pulled a thin blanket and gently covered Gu Yan's body. Gu Yan seemed to have a wake-up momentum, which made Luo Rongxuan feel nervous, but she didn't expect that she would just move her head, making her lying more comfortable, and fell asleep again.
Luo Rongxuan pulled over the chair and sat next to Gu Yan, carefully pulled open Gu Yan's head curtain, and looked at her sleeping face with distress.
She was too tired. Although she had never said it or showed any fatigue, he knew she was not relaxed.
