Chapter 187 Could this be the work of my good father?
"He is my father-in-law. By helping him, I am helping myself."
If you want to destroy a person, you must first make him crazy.
Since Gu Jinyun had made her decision, Liu Tianshu no longer objected.
"On behalf of my father, I would like to thank you, Lord Marquis."
Gu Jinyun smiled with a smug look on his face.
"Ma'am, you and I are husband and wife, and it is my duty to do this for you and your father-in-law."
"Come here, tell the kitchen to make a few more dishes that the Marquis likes. How about the Marquis have lunch here at noon?"
Liu Tianshu's words were exactly what Gu Jinyun wanted, so she naturally would not refuse.
Gu Jinyun's injuries had not healed yet and it was broad daylight. After having lunch with Liu Tianshu, he took Xiao Lizi back to Fuguangyuan to rest.
After seeing Gu Jinyun off, Liu Tianshu put away the smile on her face, asked someone to put away all the things he had used at noon, and continued to check the accounts.
Through the investigations over the past few days, she had almost cleaned up the mess left by Gu Jinqing. However, before she had the time to take the account book to find Hou to settle the accounts, she heard from the little maid that the second son of the Chang family had spent a huge sum of money on a brothel girl, and now that brothel girl had entered the Chang family.
It was common for a man to take a concubine. This matter had nothing to do with Liu Tianshu, and she did not intend to intervene. However, she did not expect the maid to continue to report: "After hearing the news, the third young lady rushed out of the courtyard and went to the Chang family."
Even if Gu Jinqing had an arranged marriage with the second son of the Chang family, before they got married, if he wanted to take a concubine, she would have no reason to object, and would instead be branded as jealous.
At the same time, it would be difficult to explain to the Queen Mother that Gu Jinqing ran away while under house arrest.
This is not Nanny Yue speaking on behalf of the Queen Mother. No one would care even if Gu Jinqing did not take the punishment seriously.
Once the Empress Dowager's decree came out, Gu Jinqing would be guilty of deceiving the emperor if he ran away like this.
Putting down the account book in her hand, Liu Tianshu asked with concern: "Have you informed the old lady about this matter?"
"Madam, someone has already gone to inform the old lady."
The little maid said respectfully.
"Let's go to the old lady's yard together."
As Liu Tianshu spoke, she straightened her clothes and led Tong'er and Hong'er towards Canglan Courtyard.
Hou didn't expect Gu Jinqing to be so impulsive. He walked towards the gate as soon as he got the news, but he didn't expect to meet Liu Tianshu who came to find him at the gate.
"Madam, the little maid is being vague. Do you know what happened?"
"I don't know the details. The most urgent task now is to get Sister Qing back."
After Hou finished speaking, she ignored Liu Tianshu and walked quickly out the door.
Seeing Hou leave, Liu Tianshu had no choice but to follow her. They both got on carriages and headed towards the Chang family.
In her previous life, Liu Tian'ai did not break off the engagement, but was recuperating on the farm. Now it seems that there is a matter of taking a concubine. However, at that time, she didn't know how to live her life, and Liu Tian'ai didn't react, so she naturally didn't take this matter to heart.
It can be seen that Gu Jinqing really cares about the second young master of the Chang family, otherwise he would not be so anxious when he heard that she was taking a concubine.
"Tong'er, what's going on?"
After Qingshan left, Tong'er became her chief maid. After Guanxue left, Hong'er, who came with her, also successfully became her chief maid. However, Liu Tianshu was used to asking Tong'er directly when she had something to ask.
"Madam, the second son of the Chang family did redeem a girl from Zui Xiang Lou today, but her specific status has not yet been determined."
In the previous life, the second son of the Chang family had a good relationship with the concubine, and Liu Tian'ai didn't get any benefits. But fortunately, he still had Gu Jinyun in his heart and didn't care much about the existence of the concubine, which made the Chang family always peaceful and stable.
Although the master of the Chang family only holds the title of Acting Minister, he exercises the power of the Minister of Personnel. There are countless people watching them openly and secretly.
I'm afraid the Chang family is now regretting their engagement with the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, otherwise they wouldn't have openly done such a thing.
Thinking of Gu Jinqing, Liu Tianshu asked curiously, "The Third Miss is still under house arrest, how could she get the news earlier than us?"
"Of course someone leaked the news on purpose." Hong'er said proudly, "Madam, I saw it clearly. The person who leaked the news to the Third Miss's courtyard was a servant of the Liu family."
"what?"
Liu Tianshu was surprised.
"Why would the Liu family's servants get involved with the Chang and Gu families..."
Before Liu Tianshu finished her words, she thought of something and looked at Hong'er with a sneer.
"Isn't this the work of my good father?"
