The eldest lady has no taboos in what she does

Chapter 32 Puppet Technique
Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhang returned to their house, feeling uneasy all the time.

After Gu Mingde and the others came back, the two of them immediately explained what happened to them.

"It's all my fault. It's my fault. Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a big misunderstanding." Mrs. Zhang cried, blaming herself.

Their original intention was to save people, but now they have become enemies. This matter will not be easy for anyone.

"You can't blame the third brother and sister for this, it's me. None of us expected that the black cat would suddenly jump out and knock over the bird's nest."

Gu Jiancheng waved his hand, "I can't blame you for this. Your aunt said that the disaster has been solved?"

Mrs. Zhao nodded, "Yes, my aunt said that she has solved the evil problem, and the rest will be left to us."

Gu Jiancheng nodded, "Well, my aunt has solved a lot of troubles for us since she came back. I will go out and make it clear to Yunshan."

While the family was talking, Gu Wenque came back.

"Brother Que, how are you doing over there?" Zhao asked.

Gu Wenque's straight face almost wrinkled up, "It didn't work. The people from Ping'an Marquis Mansion kicked out the people from Jingzhao Yin Mansion, saying that nothing happened and told them not to join in blindly."

The people in the Jingzhao Yin Mansion naturally felt that it was better to have more things to do than to have less things to do, so they only made simple inquiries and left.

"Dad, let me go there. We haven't done anything wrong. If you tell your sister properly, we can always make sense."

Gu Mingqi didn't agree. He understood that Gu Yunshan's temper was too self-centered. He wanted to kill them if something like this happened, but he couldn't listen to what they said.

"Brother, since they refuse to report it to the official, I think we should let it go for now. It won't be too late to solve it after they come to the door. Otherwise, if we go to the pole like this, they will think that we are guilty."

I went because I was afraid that Gu Yunshan's life would be in danger. Now that the danger is gone, there is no need to keep putting my face in front of others.

Gu Ming'an felt that what Gu Mingqi said made sense, "Yes, dad, let's let him go first. We didn't do anything at all, so we came so close and thought we were the ones who killed him."

What the two sons said was not unreasonable.

But just in case, Gu Jiancheng still asked someone to watch over the Hou Mansion so that they could know in time if anything happened.

However, no one from the Hou Mansion came to the door for several days, which made the Gu family curious about Gu Yunshan's temperament.

But the more this happens, the more uneasy the Gu family feels.

"Go to the people in the Hou Mansion and ask what's going on there."

Zhao immediately sent someone to inquire about the situation in the Hou Mansion.

The man didn't come back until night.

The person Zhao went to find out the information was the woman who worked in the kitchen. Her daughter had followed Gu Yunshan to the Hou Mansion and had been waiting by Gu Yunshan's side.

When the mother-in-law came back, the whole family was having dinner.

Gu Jiancheng saw the woman's strange expression and asked, "Tell me, what news did you get?"

"Going back to the old lady, Hui'er said that she is no longer waiting for Mrs. Hou, and is only responsible for doing chores in the yard. She said that nothing happened in the Hou Mansion, and Mrs. Hou and Mr. Hou are still smiling all day long."

Hearing this, everyone stopped what they were doing.

Mrs. Zhang was very puzzled, "Yunshan almost ate us when he was like that..." Why was he smiling after only a few days?
The mother-in-law said: "Hui'er doesn't know what's going on, but I can always hear the baby crying at night."

"what?"

Gu Mengyin paused and slowly raised her head, "You said she heard a child crying?"

The mother-in-law nodded, "Yes, at first she thought she heard it wrong. Once she boldly went outside the door to listen, and she was sure it was the child's cry."

Being so close, it was impossible to mishear.

Now, everyone's attention returned to Gu Mengyin.

"Auntie, what do you think is going on?"

Gu Mengyin was sure that the infant spirit had been transcended by her. How could that child come back to life without the infant spirit's soul? If they hadn't brought another child back, there was something wrong with that child.

She felt that the second possibility was more likely. Judging from their attitude towards seeking a child, it couldn't be someone else's child. "I'll go over and have a look later."

"Auntie, I'll go with you." Gu Wenque said quickly.

"No, I'm just looking outside."

"Then great-aunt, please be careful."

Gu Mengyin nodded.

After eating, Gu Mengyin left the Gu Mansion.

At this time, there were almost no pedestrians on the street, and she soon arrived outside the Hou Mansion.

Gu Mengyin jumped off the carriage and looked at the Hou Mansion, her delicate eyebrows furrowed.

There is no trace of black energy lingering in the Hou Mansion in front of me, which means there are no evil spirits or ghosts inside.

Did they really take someone else's child and raise it?
After thinking about it, she decided to go in and find out.

Gu Mengyin came to the back door of the Hou Mansion, climbed in lightly, and found Gu Yunshan's yard based on her memory.

She jumped on the roof and followed the noise to find her house. After lifting the tiles, she saw a baby's cradle beside Gu Yunshan's bed. A baby with a purple face was lying quietly in the cradle.

Gu Yunshan looked at the child lovingly, fearing that the child would disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Madam, please rest for a while, my servant will take good care of the young master."

Gu Yunshan looked away reluctantly, "Well, keep an eye on the young master. You must not make any mistakes, otherwise I will only ask you!"

"Yes."

When Gu Yunshan looked away, Gu Mengyin flew a grain of cinnabar towards the baby.

Cinnabar hit the child on the forehead. The cinnabar did not react, and neither did the child.

Cinnabar didn't react, which meant it wasn't an evil spirit. She flew out with great force. A normal child would be frightened and cry, but this child didn't respond either.

What the hell is it.

Gu Mengyin could only bite off her fingers and wipe them on her eyelids.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw golden threads on the child's body.

Gold threads hang from the limbs, like long strings holding a puppet.

"Puppetry."

Gu Mengyin covered the tiles, turned and left the Hou Mansion.

When Gu Mengyin returned to the Gu Mansion, she was told that Gu Jiancheng and the others were still waiting in the hall. She knew that they were waiting for her, so she turned around and went to the front hall.

"Auntie, you're back." Gu Ming'an noticed Gu Mengyin first and immediately stood up from the chair.

Gu Mengyin nodded to the chair and sat down without speaking immediately. Gu Jiancheng and the others waited quietly.

Several people had been waiting for almost a quarter of an hour, and Gu Mengyin had no intention of speaking.

Gu Jiancheng had no choice but to ask cautiously: "Auntie, has something serious happened? Just tell us that we can bear it."

Gu Mengyin came back to her senses and said, "Oh no, I was so absorbed in thinking about things just now that I forgot about you."

Several people could not laugh or cry.

"Auntie, tell me."

Gu Mengyin looked forward to the faint opening of her legs, "What Hui'er heard was indeed the child's cry."
