Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Chapter 163

Not long ago, Princess Changle came over suddenly to ask Song Hengye about Gu Qingyou, and once expressed his speculation.

At the beginning, Song Lian firmly chose Gu Qingyou as his daughter-in-law. Firstly, he really didn't like Xue Lin'er, and secondly, he might have expected today.

Song Chengye, as the direct bloodline of the Song family, is bound to marry and have children to carry on the family line. For the future of the Duke's mansion, if he marries a noble daughter, it will inevitably affect other families. Therefore, Gu Qingyou, who is an orphan, has become the best candidate .

In other words, the moment Gu Qingyou was chosen, he was destined to be the funeral object of the Duke's Mansion, so this also explained why he promised her such a high dowry and gift, on the one hand, it was because of The affection of an old friend is more about guilt and compensation, right?

For a moment, Song Hengye had doubts in his heart about his adoptive father, whom he had always respected and loved. Would such an upright person really be selfish enough to plot against an orphan girl?

But people are not as good as heaven, Song Lian would never have imagined that the fall of the Duke's Mansion would still implicate the Xue family, but Gu Qingyou regained his freedom because of this.

Song Hengye was silent suddenly, and even the atmosphere became heavy. Gu Qingyou gave him a relaxed smile and said, "Second Young Master, you don't need to sympathize. Now I have money in my hand, and tea shops are constantly making money. Recently, I also plan to open a handicraft workshop, and my life is comfortable and fulfilling, which is much better than before.”

That smile was not forced, and even had a soothing magic power.

Song Hengye looked away, obviously the one who should comfort her was her, but he felt relieved for no reason.

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank Princess Changle. She helped me set up a female household early in the morning. Now I can go in and out freely, and I don't have to worry about my property being encroached at any time. It can be said that the future is promising. When I stabilize my foothold in Shangjing, I plan to Doing business all over the country, becoming a leading little rich woman, hahaha, just thinking about it makes me excited."

After laughing, Gu Qingyou suddenly realized that her behavior was not a lady, coughed dryly and said: "We'll be there soon, please send me off all the way, Second Young Master, curfew will come soon, Second Young Master, please go back!"

Song Hengye looked at her fixedly, and suddenly asked: "Miss Gu and Changle have known each other not long ago, why does she do so many things for you?"

"Um~"

Gu Qingyou was immediately stunned by the question. In fact, it was not that she hadn't thought about this question, but thinking that she had nothing worth being used, she put down her guard.

And during this time together, she quite likes Changle's character, but she seems to be careless, but in fact she is delicate, making it impossible for people to refuse her goodness.

"Maybe it's because I don't have parents, and I was kicked out by my in-law's house. It looks pitiful?"

It's just that this reason doesn't seem to be convincing. After all, at the tea party held by Concubine Sui, it was Chang Le who took the initiative to speak to her. She couldn't predict that she was about to leave the Duke's Mansion, right?

"Of course, it's also possible that the princess is kind-hearted. When I was in the palace, I was almost tricked into being cannon fodder, so I wanted to help me a little more."

Song Hengye had already received the news about this matter before they left the palace.

Worried about Xue Lan's safety that day, he specially sent shadow guards to protect them secretly. Since the tea party was during the day, he only sent one person.

Unexpectedly, on the way, Concubine Sui divided the people into two groups, and the young officials left Yong'an Palace and went to the Imperial Garden.

The shadow guard lacked the skills to separate himself, so he could only hold on to Xue Lan first, and whoever thought that something would happen to Gu Qingyou.

Fortunately, Qin Wang and his daughter took action, and Gu Qingyou survived, but Song Hengye also regretted it for a long time, blaming himself for not thinking carefully, and almost letting her fall into the palace.

Realizing that he was asking too many questions, Song Hengye nodded and said: "Outsiders have said that Princess Changle is uncertain, and Ms. Gu should be more cautious when getting along with her."

"Thank you, Second Young Master, for reminding me, I will."

Song Hengye didn't stop until he reached the gate of the small courtyard. Gu Qingyou thanked him again, and was about to turn around to leave, when he heard a voice behind him: "I forgot to tell Miss Gu about something, and that is Huo Yun... probably already He is no longer alive, it is Hengye who is not doing his job well."

Gu Qingyou's hands holding on to the door frame tightened. In fact, she had already guessed that this would happen, but it was never confirmed, so she inevitably had hope in her heart.

Song Hengye is always cautious, saying this sentence shows that he is at least [-]% sure.

"Second Young Master, don't blame yourself, everyone has his own destiny, and you have done your best."

Thinking of what Liu Chunxiang once said that he would make a tomb for Huo Yun after returning home, Gu Qingyou said: "I wonder if there are any things left behind by her? If there are any, I will send someone to send them to Mr. Liu, so that he can think about it." .”

"I just found some fabric on the edge of a cliff. After I sent someone to check, it was the fabric that Meng Yan wore for the show girls."

It is located in a barren hill, extremely steep, and it is not easy for ordinary people to go up, not to mention the ladies who usually do not leave the gate.

It is thought that Huo Yun came there to avoid the pursuers, and fled there in desperation, but was forced down the cliff in the end.

Song Hengye took out a cloth bag from his bosom, and Gu Qingyou was about to reach out to pick it up, but Shuang Jiang took it away first and said, "Miss, don't move! It's a dead person's thing after all, so be careful of bad luck."

The ancients were superstitious about these things, and Gu Qingyou didn't insist on it. Watching Song Hengye turn and leave, he went back to his room to get a brand new sandalwood box and asked Shuang Jiang to put away the cloth.

"Miss, I haven't been able to see my wife, so the workshop will continue to recruit people?"

Shuang Jiang cleaned her hands and twisted a hot towel for her. After walking all the way back just now, Gu Qingyou's face was numb from the wind, so she took it and covered it for a long time before warming up.

"Of course we must continue to recruit! Didn't you say that we can't rely on the Duke's Mansion for everything in the future, and when we go tonight, we just want my mother to help check for gaps."

Shuang Jiang only thought that she left the Duke's mansion suddenly, didn't change her words for a while, and didn't care about the title, poured water for her to wash her feet, went down to wash herself, and after a while, came in again holding the quilt.

Gu Qingyou saw her seriously laying the mattress on the footrest beside the bed, a little dumbfounded: "Are you really planning to make a floor in my room?"

"Of course, there will definitely be a lot of people applying for the job tomorrow, so the servants should get used to it in advance."

"How can I sleep here? And it's cold at night, what if I catch a cold?"

"It's okay, just get used to sleeping. Anyway, I have to get up in the middle of the night to change the charcoal fire. It's more convenient than sleeping next door!"

Shuang Jiang tried to lie down, but it was just right, neither soft nor hard, and was about to spread the quilt when Gu Qingyou came over and rolled up the quilt again.

"You're used to sleeping, and I'm afraid I'll step on you at night! Come back obediently, get up early tomorrow and help me recruit workers."

Shuang Jiang refused to live or die, and when she heard about Xue Lin'er tonight, she was worried that Gu Qingyou would fall asleep by herself.

My master has experienced more things than Xue Lin'er. Although she doesn't seem so fragile, who knows if she is holding on?

Therefore, she made up her mind that she would stay in the upper room and guard every night from now on, resolutely not giving the master a chance to think wildly!
