Seeking Happiness Chapter 171: Forcing whereabouts
Just as dinner was put in Songhetang, the old lady leaned on the couch and was fed a bowl of ginkgo chicken soup by the maid Fuling. In front of the couch, another maid stood and was telling Gu Xiran about returning home.
"The second master rushed back as if he was in a hurry, but he went to Shengmei Pavilion as soon as he walked in. I don't know if it was for milk."
The room was silent, only the soft sound of the spoon hitting the edge of the bowl.
Fu Ling needs to feed again, the old lady has raised his hand to stop her, letting people to straighten herself up a bit and ponder.
Seeing that she didn't mean to ask questions, the maid stood silent for a while, and wanted to quietly exit. She didn't expect to just cross the threshold, and when she looked up, she saw Gu Xiran rushing into the courtyard angrily.
"Second Lord..."
The maids who were guarding outside saw him look wrong, and they were afraid that he would run into the old lady, so they hurried up to stop him.
"Get Out"
Gu Xiran kept under her feet, bypassing them and rushing in.
In the room, Fuling froze for a moment, and he hurriedly set aside the bowl and came up to stop him, but was pushed aside by Gu Xiran. He walked up to the old lady in threes or twos and asked, "Where is Shu Huan?"
The old lady frowned, straightened her back and looked at him: "She is no longer our family member, what else do you ask her for?"
Gu Xiran squinted her eyes slightly: "I didn't write the Xiu Shushu"
"It is covered with your seal, and it has been reported to the government."
"You can still marry after you break, I just ask where she is now"
The old lady turned his head and sighed when he saw that he was pressing hard. "Forget her, I have ordered another good kiss for you, that is your cousin Zhang family......"
She was forcibly interrupted by Gu Xiran before finishing her words: "Where is Shu Huan"
The old lady has never been so persecuted, let alone his grandchildren. In the presence of these many maids, an old face suddenly couldn’t be hung up, and some angrily said: "Hurry up and look at you. Look, are there any rules? Or do you have to follow Xiaoxuan and the third child to disobey the elders?"
She didn’t just say this, but Gu Xiran immediately sneered: “Taijun has lived for most of his life, hasn’t he never heard the saying that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked? Jun only saw that his grandchildren did not do well, so he never thought if he did something wrong? Tell you, they were all forced, are you forced to force me now?"
"Forcing you", the old lady tried to stand up, but she still did not recover. She shook and sat down: "We will make a good marriage for you and marry a good wife who can help each other. This is a request from others. I can’t ask for a good thing, but if I get to you, it’s forcing you."
"I don't want to just force it." Gu Xiran leaned closer to her and looked directly into her eyes and said: "Taijun really doesn't know what I am thinking? I don't know what kind of stuff my cousin is?"
The old lady was somewhat confusing when he asked, how could she not know what Gu Xiran was thinking? As early as when Shu Huan cut his wrist, she saw that he was nervous. She also knew that Zhang Hanfang was still far away from his good wife and mother, but she had selfish intentions and thought that raising Gu Xiran so much, and Gu's family was in danger at this time. He made a little sacrifice for the family and made a slight concession in the marriage. It was only natural that he would never think that he would turn his face with himself for this, and turn it so thoroughly.
"The monarch does not answer, I will answer for you." Gu Xiran raised his chin slightly, and stood upright: "You know that because of this, I sent someone to send one letter after another, keeping me away. , Thinking about waiting for me to come back, feeling that the matter is over, irretrievable, I have to mutely admit it, right?"
The old lady was also really angry and shivered with anger: "So what? The case of marriage is due to parents and elders, and you can’t tolerate your own picks and picks."
Gu Xiran was anxious at the moment. Where could he have the patience to argue with her about the unclear rules and principles, and only said: "I will ask Taijun again, where is Shu Huan"
Furious, the old lady is still confident: "The Zhang family's marriage has been set, even if you find her back, she can only be a concubine, our Gu family does not have her foothold"
Gu Xiran smiled contemptuously: "What good place, can you not live without this place?"
This sentence pierced into the heart of the old lady like a cone, and instantly made her feel confident and disappeared without a trace. She never expected that Gu Xiran would say these things, shaking her hands twice, and trembling Said: "You...what do you want to do?"
By now, you don't need to hide it anymore, and it's best to make it clear.
Gu Xiran said three words lightly: "Take her away"
The old lady is a shrewd man. Gu Xiran can’t turn his muscles at this moment, knowing that he still has to ask about the whereabouts of Shu Huan. The only way to do this is to make him give up and give up to Shu Huan. , Is the one-stop solution
"You don't need to find her anymore." The old lady has made up her mind, but calmed down: "I don't even know where she is."
Gu Xiran's pupils suddenly shrank: "What do you say?"
"I gave her family a sum of silver and asked her parents to take her out of Sedum City." The old lady said calmly: "You also know that her family is poor, and her parents are like money. As long as the money is given and it is too late to promise, how can I say no words? It has been ten days since I left, and I don’t know where it is."
Gu Xiran was silent for a few seconds, and said coldly: "Lying"
"I didn't lie to you." The old lady showed a kind look in her eyes, looked at him and said: "You are my grandson, and I still know your mind. Since you are about to break the marriage, Naturally it must be broken up clean."
That’s what she said. In fact, she was already regretful in her heart. She thought she knew this grandson and knew that he had no confidence to betray his family, so she arbitrarily broke up his marriage and influenced his marriage. She should only expel Shu Huan out of the house and order her grandson not to look for it anymore. It would be finished, but she didn't expect him to be so persistent, as if she had made up her mind. If Shu Huan didn’t marry, she knew it. It is time to give the Shu family a sum of money to let the Shu family take their daughter away.
Gu Xiran still said: "Lie"
He is not self-comforting, but he knows the origin of Shu Huan, knowing that she is the same as himself, not a person at the mercy of others, even if the old lady really gave the Shu family money and asked them to take Shu Huan away. Shuhuan has to be willing, otherwise they can knock her out, and can't carry her away? She was knocked out and carried away. She was able to deal with the Shu family couple and then came back and waited for herself
The old lady didn’t want to fight with him any more. He looked at him and said, “Believe it or not, you’re working hard all the way back. You’d better go down and rest first, but if you don’t give up, you want to find her again, and wait. I'll talk about it tomorrow when I get up. As for the collision with me, it seems that you are in a moment of urgency, and I don't care about it, but only this time, let’s not take it as an example."
Usually, as soon as I said this, it rained and the sky cleared. No matter who it was, I had to respectfully answer yes, and then retreat, but when it came to Gu Xiran, this trick didn’t work anymore. He still sneered:" Go and rest, wait for Taijun, you send someone to Shu's house overnight, give them silver, let them move away?"
After the conversation, knowing that there is nothing to ask about the old lady, he twisted his sleeves and left.
