Rebirth of marriage

Chapter 72 The mystery about Gu Xiao

Yang Xiu had a bad premonition and asked quickly, "Master Cha, when can I get my money back?"

The officer smiled and said, "There were five people who robbed you that day. They divided your money among them. This person's 40 taels were already lost on the gambling table.

The other four people are still being arrested. When they are arrested and the money is still there, you will be notified to go to the county government to get it back. "

Yang Xiu's face turned blue and white.

He was still standing in the courtyard in a daze when he was waiting for the officer to lead the people out a long way away.

He lost, a crushing defeat!

But the father's injury in the house had to be treated. He had not really grown up yet and could not live without his father's protection. The Liu family also needed his father to deal with it and get them back to the capital early.

He couldn't stay in this place any longer.

He knelt down with a plop, "Fourth Aunt, I was wrong..."

"Okay, put away your drama of bitterness." Lin Shu, who was following behind, said coldly, "I'm just grateful that Jiu is kind enough to let you pick on her, a soft persimmon."

She took out two taels of silver from her sleeve and handed it to Yang Xiu, "These two taels are lent to you for the sake of Xie Jiu. I hope that the Yang family can repay the debt once and don't push this debt back when the time comes. Let’s thank you for the wine.”

She asked everyone, "Everyone, is there anyone who is willing to accompany their father and son into the city? I'm worried that he won't be able to protect the money, and will come to my door to play rogue again. I, Lin Shu, owe you a favor this time."

Xie Jiu had already informed her of the Yang family's situation.

There are still more than three months before the Wanshou Festival, but something unexpected happened regarding the pardon, and Yang Laoer still has to keep his life.

But no matter how cruel Yang Xiu is, he is just a child, and he may not be able to protect his money from being robbed by the people in the big house, and the big house in the Yang family is not a good person.

Who wouldn’t want a doctor’s favor? Several people immediately stood up.

Xie Jiu looked at Yang Xiu, "I can understand that you lost your money and were afraid of being punished, but I can't forgive you for throwing dirty water on your elders and insulting their reputation.

With your sinister intentions, even if the Yang family pays off Lin Shu's debt in the future, I, a widowed woman, will not dare to easily go back and live under the same roof with you and your son. Yang Xiu, please take care of yourself. "

Yang Xiu's face turned gray, he held the money and ran into the house.

The current situation was beyond his control. The first time he took action, he fell into an embarrassing situation, and he couldn't afford to lose his father.

Xie Jiu winked in the dark and asked Li Sheng to accompany them to the city.

Speaking of which, she has to thank Yang Xiu for his help. In this way, if the Yang family makes trouble again in the future and forces her to return to the Yang family, she can use this as an excuse not to go back.

Everyone has witnessed this frame-up with their own eyes, and public opinion will be on her side.

The few men who had just seen Lin Shu standing up quickly took Yang Laoer out of the house. No one in the Yang family's eldest room followed him this time.

Yang Qi, who had just sang happily, was like a rooster on fire. His face was full of anger. He didn't know if he was angry with Yang Xiu or something else. He was cursing and driving everyone away with a broom.

Xie Jiu and Lin Shu took advantage of the situation and left.

There was a scene early in the morning and she was a little hungry.

When she got home, she went to the kitchen.

After being awakened by Yang Laoer's cry last night, I couldn't sleep for a while, so I soaked the red beans.

She and Gu Xiao hadn't seen each other for a few days since the last bad breakup. Gu Xiao took action this time, and she decided to make some red bean cakes as a thank you.

She wanted to use this to keep her distance so that Gu Xiao could understand her heart earlier, but she couldn't stay too far away from him, lest he get used to her absence. Only by staying away could she care more about her.

It's not that Gu Xiao didn't like her, otherwise he wouldn't have come to deal with Yang Laoer himself, but he spared his life. As a prince, why should he worry so much about killing a prisoner.

What he was worried about was her thanking him for drinking.

He always gave her as much respect and trust as possible, without interfering or destroying her plans.

This is more proof of his love for himself.

But some shadows are engraved in the bones and blood, and it takes time to come out. Gu Xiao's heart is broken and needs more love and time to mend it.

Xie Jiu gives him time to repair himself, but he will also try his best to give him love and warmth.

After the red bean cake was ready, Xie Jiu took the newly made socks for him and went to Li Sheng's house with the food box.

Wuwei, who was dressed as a bearded man, had separated from the officials and returned home quietly.

After thanking him for the wine, he asked him to send the red bean cake to Prince Xiao's Mansion.

She left some for the old censor and his wife.

Because there wasn't a lot of red beans left, I only steamed them in one pot, instead of making sweet and non-sweet flavors separately like last time.

The old lady was very happy when she heard that it was specially made for Gu Xiao, but after taking a bite, she learned that Gu Xiao liked to eat this extremely sweet food, and tears suddenly appeared in her eyes.

She choked and said, "He must have been too miserable in the past, so he wanted to eat more sweets."

Xie Jiu had also thought about this. She felt that what the old lady said was unlikely. Gu Xiao was not the type to deceive himself.

She also felt that there might be some special meaning. Could it be that Gu Xiao's mother had made red bean cake with such a taste, which made him miss it?But she quickly rejected it.

The purpose of the uncle's secretly acquiring a daughter was to use her to find a good marriage, which must be carefully cultivated.

Although women from powerful families were served by hordes of servants, they still had to learn cooking skills in order to be able to cook something to please their husbands.

It is impossible for a person who has been specially trained in cooking to make such a cloyingly sweet pastry.

She might have made this kind of mistake before her rebirth, because her parents doted on her and never made any demands on her.

But Gu Xiao's mother was the uncle's pawn in exchange for glory, and the uncle's house was extremely harsh on her.

Is it possible that they are other people who are of great significance to Gu Xiao?

Xie Jiu frowned. Gu Xiao has become an orphan. Is there anyone else who cares?

Xie Jiu couldn't think of anything even after racking his brain.

At the same time, she thought of another unsolved mystery about Gu Xiao, which was that he could sing.

Gu Xiaohui's songs are Jiangnan-style tunes that are about girls' homesickness. His mother had an accident when he was five years old, so she probably wouldn't have taught him to sing that kind of music before he was five years old.

It's unlikely that it would sound like this in the land of fireworks. No one knows Gu Xiao's unfamiliarity with women better than her.

But he couldn't just learn it out of thin air. Someone must have taught him or sung it to him, and he learned it.

Sweet red bean cake, daughter's home tune, Xie Jiu's eyes twinkling, could it be that a woman had appeared next to Gu Xiao?

She suddenly thought that there were four followers around Gu Xiao. Could it be one of them?

"What are you thinking about? Are you so lost in thought?" The old lady patted her hand gently.

Xie Jiu hurriedly retracted his thoughts and did not dare to tell her what he was thinking. He just mumbled a few words to avoid making the old lady sad again.

In the evening, while Xie Jiu was reading under the lamp, there was a knock on the door.

Wuwei led the remaining secret guards of Prince Xiao's Mansion to deliver several large boxes to Xie Jiu. The clothes were the clothes Gu Xiao had arranged for Aunt Ning and others to make last time. Now that they were ready, Wuwei asked Wuwei to bring them over.

"The prince was afraid that it would be difficult for you to put away the makeup and headdress, so he asked Aunt Ning to pick some for his subordinates to send over. If you want to use the rest, your subordinates will go and get them for you at any time." Wuwei said.

Xie Jiu smiled, "Did the prince say that?"

Wuwei scratched his head and said with a naive smile, "Your Majesty reminded me to take less makeup, hair and face. I know that Your Majesty is afraid that you will not let go. Aunt Ning also thought so, so she picked up some for you. "

Xie Jiu chuckled, which was in line with Gu Xiao's temperament.

When that day he can talk about even the smallest things for her and take care of everything, then he will really fall in love with her.
