For the next few days, the days passed peacefully.

Gu Xinling receives nasty love letters and strange gifts every day, and A Kui, who secretly protects her, sends them secretly at nightfall.

The enemy's bloody and broken battle flags, the soil in the forward positions, and the hand-painted vases made of shell shells...

Gu Xinling put all the presents in a rattan suitcase. She knew that this was Mo Anlin's thoughts. If she were another woman, she might not understand the meaning of these things, but Gu Xinling did, because she used to be a He is a special forces military doctor and a veteran with several years of military experience.
Gu Xinling even liked these gifts a little bit, because they could remind her of her old military life.It's just that she doesn't like those literary love letters at all.
"Miss!" Biyun walked into the room and placed fruits on the table. Since she got the protection of the old lady, her life has become much better. "The old lady is going to Jingyue Temple to offer incense tomorrow, and I want you to go with me." .Even my maidservant can follow Zhanguang and go out to get some fresh air together. Miss, this is a good thing!"

"Oh!" Gu Xinling nodded, not particularly concerned, "By the way, Biyun, can't you find time for me to chat with your mother alone?"

Biyun shook her head, "My mother waits by the old lady's side, she can't leave her every step of the way. However, when incense is offered tomorrow, the old lady will meditate alone in the quiet room. I think there should be a chance at that time."

"En!" Gu Xinling nodded, "Who else went with me?"
"Only female pilgrims are allowed to go to the nunnery, and only the wife and the second young lady are not allowed to go to the female family members." Bi Yun continued.

"Only female pilgrims can go? Then what about my little brother? Is he at home alone?" Gu Xinling stood up all of a sudden, the Gu family was so chaotic, it was impossible for her to leave Gu Shaoyang alone at home, it was too dangerous.
"Miss, don't worry, the old lady has already made arrangements, and the young master will take care of the second young master. The young master is the kindest person in the Gu family, and he will never let anyone hurt the second young master. What's more, Shen Wande is still sleeping in the guest room , They dare not do anything to the Second Young Master." Bi Yun said very directly, such words were not dared to be easily said by other maids and servants.

Gu Xinling understood what Biyun meant, but she was still worried.Although Shen Wande, the living dead, is a hostage, she still can't guarantee that Shen will not make a move. Even if she doesn't do it herself, will there be an accident?At this moment, Gu Xinling couldn't keep her calm.
"I'm going to see my grandmother now!" Gu Xinling stood up. For her, Gu Shaoyang's safety came first.

At this time, Gu Shaoyang was practicing calligraphy alone in the room, accompanied by a tutor, and she happened to be able to chat with Mrs. Gu.

"Xinling is here? Are you going to explain about going to burn incense tomorrow?" Mrs. Gu pointed to the round stool, "Sit down and talk!"

"Grandmother, can I not go to incense tomorrow? I want to take care of Xiaoyang at home." Gu Xinling asked straight to the point.

"No! You haven't returned for a long time. According to the rules of taking care of the family, you must go. Otherwise, it will be disrespectful to the gods and Buddhas." Mrs. Gu directly refused, and she knew that Gu Xinling had good intentions.
"In that case, grandma, can you take Xiaoyang with you tomorrow?" Gu Xinling cut to the chase, "Although the nunnery does not accept male guests, Xiaoyang is only a six-year-old child!"

"No! Although Xiaoyang is a child, he is a boy. There should be no blasphemy in such things as praying to God." Mrs. Gu shook her head quickly, "Xinling, I know what you are worried about. Grandma cares more about Xiaoyang than you. Your safety. Grandmother has already made arrangements, Biyun should have told you, right?"

"Grandmother, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case. I don't want elder brother to take care of Xiaoyang. It's not because he doubts elder brother's character, but because he is secretive." Gu Xinling paused and said, "I want mother to come forward and personally Take care of Xiaoyang."

"No, wouldn't that be like a sheep going into a tiger's mouth." Mrs. Gu directly objected without even thinking about it, and her expression changed.
Aunt Wu hurriedly chimed in and said, "Madam, please don't get angry. It is obvious to all that the eldest miss loves the second young master. Maybe the eldest miss has her reasons. You might as well listen to what the eldest miss has to say!"

Biyun was also anxious, she didn't understand how her eldest lady would come up with such a strange idea.However, at this time, her status is not suitable for speaking, so she can only wink at Gu Xinling desperately, for fear that she will anger the old lady.

Gu Xinrui stood beside the old lady, waiting for Gu Xinling to say the wrong thing.

"Grandmother, let Xiaoyang be taken care of by the eldest brother, and the accident is the responsibility of the elder brother; but it is the mother's responsibility to take care of Xiaoyang. The grandmother is a person of great wisdom, so she naturally understands what I mean. The responsibility lies with the mother Instead, she dared not act rashly." Gu Xinling pointed out the key point directly, "Please believe me, grandma, the importance and care I have for my younger brother is undeniable. I will not put my younger brother in danger!"

"En!" Mrs. Gu nodded, "What you said is indeed somewhat reasonable, and I will consider it carefully."

Sure enough, in the end, the old lady finally accepted Gu Xinling's suggestion, and made Shen's nose crooked in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

The next day, I went to Jingyue Nunnery to offer incense. Everything went smoothly, the wind was sunny and there were not many pilgrims.Now Gu Xinling is regarded as one of her own by the old lady, and no one dares to provoke her, so she is completely clean.

"Miss, the old lady has gone to meditate and worship the Buddha, my mother is in the pavilion over there." Biyun said in a low voice.

Gu Xinling looked at Gu Xinrui who was at the side, she was chatting with Aunt Su, so she nodded, "Biyun, keep an eye on it."

"Sister-in-law Wu, I'm sorry, I took the liberty to want to see you." Gu Xinling went to the pavilion and saw Sister-in-law Wu who was a little anxious.

"Miss, you are polite. In the past, the biological mother of the young lady saved my life, and I am the wet nurse of the young lady." Aunt Wu paused, "I know why the young lady is looking for me, even if the young lady doesn't look for me, I will also look for opportunities to tell the eldest lady about those things."

Gu Xinling nodded, she believed in Aunt Wu because her eyes were sincere, "There is not much time, let's make a long story short."

"Missy's mother didn't die of illness, but was murdered." Aunt Wu got straight to the point, "Missy was only 12 years old in the past, if I told you, she couldn't do anything about it. I have extraordinary bearing, and I have the ability to avenge my mother's grievances, so I dare to say this."

"Is it grandma? Or Shen's?" Gu Xinling asked.

"They... all have a share! There is even the acquiescence of the master." When Aunt Wu said this, her tone was a little sad.

Over the years, the old lady has treated Mrs. Wu well. She doesn't want to betray the old lady, but she has to say these words.

"Back then, my wife was pregnant with the second young master, and she was originally in good health. Although Mrs. Shen tried to murder her several times, the lady escaped. In the end, Mrs. Shen bribed the midwife. She wanted to kill two people, but the old lady finally saved the second young master. Sister-in-law Wu frowned, recalling what happened back then, she was still worried, "I don't know if Miss remembers that your grandfather's family used to have a lot of money?"

"I don't really remember." Gu Xinling could only say this, "Could it be that they are asking for money?"

"Yes!" Aunt Wu nodded.

"Back then, the master wanted to be promoted to the head of the Accounting Bureau, but he was short of money to manage. I wanted my wife to go back to her natal family to get the money, after all, she is an only child. My wife also went back to her natal family to talk about it, but your grandparents were not happy, and they didn't have any money. Willing to come out." Aunt Wu sighed.

"Why don't you want to? Don't grandparents love my mother?" Gu Xinling was a little puzzled.
"It's not that you don't love your mother. Because when the master married his wife, he promised not to take concubines, but within half a year after his wife came in, he even married two concubines. One is the eldest young master's biological mother, Mrs. Su. Especially Mrs. Su, who is even younger than Mrs. Madam. Your grandparents are cold-hearted towards your father, and they just want to leave more money for your mother, even if one day they can't live on and divorce, Your mother won't be poor if she takes you with her." Aunt Wu's tone was also full of helplessness.
Gu Xinling sneered, "So, for the sake of money, they conspired to kill my mother, and grandparents are old and weak, so they must not be able to withstand this blow."

"That's right! Missy is really transparent." Sister-in-law Wu sighed, "Your grandfather had a heart attack when he heard the news of your mother's death. He vomited blood and died. Your grandmother couldn't stand the blow, so she also hanged herself."

"In the end, your father, as a son-in-law, inherited his father-in-law's family business, and became the director of the Accounting Bureau as he wished. However, the eldest lady suffered. After Shen's instigation, you were sent to the countryside to suffer at the age of 12, and you have not been able to return until now. At home." Aunt Wu's eyes were filled with tears, "Miss, it's good that you know this matter well, you just came back, your foundation is not stable, you must not act rashly."
"I understand Mrs. Wu's kindness." Gu Xinling clenched her fists, "But, didn't my mother take precautions back then?"

"Yes! Otherwise, it would be impossible to avoid several food poisonings and accidents. However, it is impossible to prevent! The midwife was chosen by the madam personally, and I thought it was okay at the time. It was after the incident that I accidentally saw Mrs. The midwife’s money, listen to what they say. Otherwise, who can find out the tampering during the delivery? If I knew it earlier, how could such a thing happen?” Aunt Wu said with a look of beating her chest, “When my wife passed away, The eldest lady was driven away, and the second young master is still in his infancy, I have no choice but to endure it until today."

"I understand Wu's situation at that time. Even if you tell the truth, not only will you not be able to avenge my mother, but you will hurt yourself. Moreover, my brother is thanks to your help and care over the years." Gu Xinling held Wu's hand, "Sister-in-law Wu, I'm clear about this matter, so naturally I won't let them go. It's been difficult for you all these years, so just pretend you don't know anything! I don't want to implicate you and Biyun."

"By the way, Mrs. Wu, brother's leg..." Gu Xinling asked.

"It's Shen's fault!" Aunt Wu said bluntly, "Mr. Shen couldn't bear a son, so naturally she can't understand the young master. It is said that the young master injured his leg, so she deliberately changed the medicine. I don't know how to do it. But Auntie Su hated her to death, and wanted to take revenge, but she couldn't beat Shen."
"I understand." Gu Xinling nodded.
Gu Xinling left the pavilion, since she has occupied this body, she won't ignore this matter, not to mention she and Shen Shi have already broken each other, even if she doesn't make a move, Shen Shi will do it.

Gu Xinling returned to a resting room, she wanted to be quiet for a while and organize her thoughts.She has always wanted to know how the original owner of the body left the Gu family, but the truth surprised her that the internal strife in the big family was so tragic and terrifying.
"It's water, it's water!"

Gu Xinling heard a commotion outside, "Water running? Is it a fire?" At this moment, she could already smell the thick smoke.
