Chapter 460 Speak with Conscience
Even if Liu Zhao issued a gag order in the East Courtyard, the rumors and rumors outside still reached Gu Jiu's ears to some extent.
Gu Jiu is not an idiot.
She has been imprisoned for so long, and she has a green plum beside her, and she uses her toes to figure out what others will say about her.
But she doesn't care.
This bit of lethality is much smaller than the overwhelming battle against one person on the Internet in modern society.
Although Gu Jiu had never experienced internet blackmail in his last life, he had seen it anyway.
Now that I have seen it, I am a little prepared in my heart.
She smiled and said to Liu Zhao, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine."
How could Liu Zhao not be worried.
In his eyes, Gu Jiu was clearly pretending to be strong, just to keep him from worrying.
He held her hand, "Come on! Soon I will be able to find out who is behind the scenes."
"Have you found a clue?"
Liu Zhao nodded.
Gu Jiu laughed, "When catching someone, remember to speak up for me."
"I must be angry for you."
Brother Yu fell asleep.
As soon as Brother Yu was put on the bed, Liu Zhao was ready to go out.
If you can't catch Zhou Jin, then catch the person behind Zhou Jin.
This series of things is definitely not something Zhou Jin can do alone.
Moreover, Zhou Jin also admitted in front of Gu Jiu that he cooperated with others.
This other person is worth thinking about.
When Liu Zhao took someone out, he ran into Chunhetang's wife.
He stared, his expression fierce, "What?"
Where did the old lady see Liu Zhao's murderous appearance, she jumped in shock and said tremblingly, "The princess asks the eldest madam to come and speak."
"Say what?"
"Slaves, slaves don't know."
"Go back and tell the princess,
Madam is not available. "
Grandma is going to cry.
Liu Zhao was not at ease, and said: "The next month, the eldest lady will not be free. I will not accept any refutation. Tell the princess what I said truthfully. If the princess is dissatisfied, let her come to me."
Liu Zhao also instructed the concierge to guard the door and not allow unrelated people to enter or leave the East Courtyard, so he took people away.
The mother-in-law was threatened by Liu Zhao, and she bastardized, returned to Chunhetang, and repeated Liu Zhao's words to Princess Pei without changing a sentence.
Pei sighed in anger.
"At this time, what does Liu Zhao want to do? What good does it do to protect Gu Jiu?"
"Mother and concubine calm down. The daughter-in-law thought that since the eldest son believed in the eldest sister-in-law, this matter should not be investigated." Ouyang Fu whispered.
Pei's eyes stared, and he was very irritable, "What is not to be held accountable? Do you want the face of the palace? Do you want the face of this princess?"
Xiao Qin'er agreed, "Mother and concubine are right. For the sake of the palace's face, I should also invite my sister-in-law to come out and give everyone an explanation."
Ouyang Fu frowned, "How do you explain this kind of thing? Qingmei, the maid next to my sister-in-law, has always been by my sister-in-law's side, and said that nothing happened. The person who tied her was to contain the eldest son. So many days have passed. , do you believe it? I can see it clearly, no matter how my sister-in-law explains it, those who don't believe it will never believe it."
"Second sister-in-law, is there something wrong with your position? Are you blaming me or mother-in-law?"
Xiao Qin'er brought disaster to the east.
Ouyang Fu looked at the irritable Mrs. Pei and said calmly: "I'm just stating my beliefs, not blaming anyone. The concubine also thinks of the palace.
It's just that I think our palace has made it clear that we support the sister-in-law, so the rumors outside will naturally be self-defeating.
If our palace's attitude remains vague, it will only fuel the spread of rumors. On the contrary, it is not good for the reputation of the palace. "
Xiao Qin'er sneered, "I really can't see that the second sister-in-law is so protective of the sister-in-law. What kind of ecstasy did the sister-in-law give you to make you speak for her so much."
Ouyang Fu snorted, "I'm just speaking from my conscience, the fourth siblings shouldn't think so darkly about everything."
Xiao Qin'er sneered, "I don't know how good the second sister-in-law's conscience is. You have such a conscience, why do you still treat the concubine in your yard harshly?"
Ouyang Fu's face changed instantly, "One yard is one yard, the fourth siblings better pay attention to what they say."
Xiao Qin'er smiled contemptuously, "It is indeed hypocritical."
"Who are you calling hypocrisy?" Ouyang Fu didn't frighten Xiao Qin'er at all, "You have the guts to say it again."
"What's the matter, is the second sister-in-law going to beat someone? You dare to do it in front of the mother-in-law. Did you take the mother-in-law in your eyes?"
Ouyang Fu smiled coldly, "In front of the mother-in-law, you dare to talk nonsense. Why there are so many rumors outside is because there are people like you who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. You are a scourge. "
"Who are you calling a scourge?" Xiao Qin'er was angry.
"Enough, just say a few words to this princess."
Pei scolded sharply.
Seeing that the two daughters-in-law were arguing, while Gu Jiu, who provoked the trouble, hid in the east courtyard and did not go out, Mrs. Pei was extremely annoyed.
"Both of you, step back, don't be an eyesore in front of this princess. Come, go to the East Court and ask the eldest lady. Tell her, if she doesn't come, this Princess will go to the East Court to see her in person. If you don't believe me, she can take this The princess is blocking the door."
Xiao Qin'er was scolded by Pei at first, which was quite embarrassing. When she heard that Pei forced Gu Jiu to show up, she became happy again.
She said, "Mother and concubine go to see the sister-in-law in person. If the sister-in-law dares to close the door and see her, she is not filial. If she is not virtuous and unfilial, she should be dismissed."
Ouyang Fu sneered, "If the sister-in-law is dismissed, will the fourth siblings have a lot of face? Going out, even if people will laugh at the sister-in-law, you will inevitably be laughed at."
"Enough, you two have to get out of the way." Pei Shi was very impatient.
Xiao Qin'er suppressed her anger, bowed down, and left Chunhe Hall first.
She was waiting for Ouyang Fu at the entrance of Chunhe Hall.
Seeing Ouyang Fu come out, she laughed mockingly, "Second sister-in-law spared no effort to help eldest sister-in-law to speak, does eldest sister-in-law know? Don't let the bamboo basket be empty at the end, and they won't accept your love at all."
Ouyang Fu sneered, "I do things with my conscience, and I don't need sister-in-law to appreciate it. It's the fourth brother and sister who spare no effort to slander sister-in-law, what's the benefit of you? I remember that you still invested money with sister-in-law. If sister-in-law is unlucky, your money can be It just got swept up in the water.”
Xiao Qin'er didn't care, "Money is money, reputation is reputation, these are two different things. I'm not like the second sister-in-law, I don't even want fame for money, and I talk nonsense."
"I will return this to you as it is. Those who open their mouths and talk nonsense must not die."
"You have to die."
Xiao Qiner was furious.
Ouyang Fu didn't bother with her and left with someone.
After returning to the room, the confidant asked Ouyang Fu with a tangled face, "Why does the madam help the madam? The madam doesn't want to fall into the trap, so you can keep silent. If you stand up to protect the madam like this, the princess should blame the madam for being ignorant."
Ouyang Fu smiled softly, "I used to be too knowledgeable. Occasionally I don't know how to do it, it's fine."
The maid stomped her feet anxiously, "Isn't Madam worried?"
Ouyang Fu asked back, "What are you worried about? Do you think the prince will ascend to the throne?"
The maid was stunned, "Slave, slaves don't know."
Ouyang Fu asked again: "Have you ever thought that if the prince ascends the throne, what will happen to the people in the entire palace?"
"What do you mean, madam?"
"Gongzizhao is the eldest son. Once King Ning ascends the throne, he will be the eldest prince, and his status is extraordinary. I am speaking for my sister-in-law now, just to form a good relationship in advance and sell well."
"But what if the prince fails to ascend to the throne?"
Ouyang Fu smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't ascend to the throne. Do you really think that the eldest lady can be defeated by rumors based on her ability? I bet the eldest lady will definitely go to see the princess and be able to persuade the princess to stand her side."
The maid couldn't believe it, "How powerful is the eldest lady?"
Ouyang Fu laughed, "She's so powerful. I'll befriend her and stand up for her. She's thinking of her old love, and she will naturally repay me in the future."
The maid was persuaded by Ouyang Fu, "Madam is wise."
Ouyang Fu raised her eyebrows and smiled, but her eyes were a little desolate, "For the sake of the child, Mrs. Ben has to form more good relationships."
...
Chunhetang sent people to the East Court again.
This time, Liu Zhao didn't stop him, and the news was sent to Gu Jiu.
Qingmei was a little resentful, "The princess asked the madam to come over at this time, it must be to ask the guilt. The madam listens to the son, and there is no need to go to the Chunhetang."
Madam Fang also said, "Mrs. don't take things like rumors to heart, it's the only thing that matters."
Qingmei said again: "Anyway, the son has already sent a message, and the wife will not be free for the next month. If the wife does not go to Chunhetang, the slave does not believe that the princess can really impel the east courtyard to hold the wife to speak?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Don't doubt Wang Fei's temper, she might rush to the East Court and grab me to talk. Don't worry, I don't care about the mere rumors. I don't care what people outside say. But in the palace, I think I must come forward to restrain everyone's words and deeds. Otherwise, others will think that I am guilty."
"Has the madam decided? Are you really going to see the princess?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "Of course I'm going to see you. I'm very grateful for the son's consideration for me and the refusal of the princess. But escaping is definitely not the solution to the problem. I can ignore the people outside, but I can't ignore the people in the palace."
Liu Zhao was worried that she would be hurt, so he refused all meetings for her.
Gu Jiu understood and was very grateful.
But that doesn't fit her style of doing things.
She likes to be neat, not procrastination.
If you have something to say, let's make it clear, rather than engaging in a tug-of-war.
She is very busy and doesn't have much time to play this kind of game with everyone.
"Qingmei, wait for me to change. I'm going to see the princess in Chunhe Hall."
Gu Jiu had made up his mind, and no one could persuade him.
Qingmei could only follow orders, "The slave and maid accompany the lady over and call Wang Yi. If Wang Yi was there when the accident happened, maybe the lady would be able to escape smoothly at the beginning."
dream!
Gu Jiu did not dismantle Qingmei's beautiful fantasy.
Even if Wang Yi was there, it would be difficult to escape with two fists and four hands.
Although she didn't see Zhou Jin's arrangement with her own eyes, she knew that there were at least twenty guards guarding her in that house at that time.
All are armed.
Wang Yi was very strong, but he couldn't beat twenty strong guards with superior force.
If Wang Yi fails, twenty guards may become forty.
