Chapter 518 Strange
Speaking of this, Madam Gu fell silent.

Lord Gu said quickly, “Mother, I know you feel indebted to Mo Xiaoni, but you can only blame the fourth brother for not being destined to be with her. Now that so many years have passed, I’m afraid she has already had a son and a daughter. If we go to her now, it will bring up her sad memories. Isn’t this hurting her again?”

Madam Gu sighed heavily.

Lord Gu said again, “We are not in a hurry, right? I will ask someone to find out slowly. There are still such difficult things to deal with right now. Mother, please don’t let me worry at this time. After we find out everything, after this period of time, mother will go to see her in person. I will arrange for Yuan’er to accompany you. How about it?”

These words really appeal to both reason and emotion.

Madam Gu was silent for a while, then smiled and said, “Third brother, you married a good daughter-in-law. If it were in the past, you would not have been able to say so many words to comfort me.”

Seeing that his mother seemed to be comforted, Lord Gu finally breathed a sigh of relief and said smugly, “Mother, the wife you marry for your son is naturally a good one. Mother just thinks that you love your son. Can you bring up this matter later?”

Madam Gu sneered, “How could you know how pitiful Mo Xiaoni’er is? Our Gu family really owes her a lot. I can’t explain it to you. You just need to remember that Mo Xiaoni’er’s affairs are our Marquis’s affairs. If she is not doing well, mother will not be able to sleep at night.”

“If you don’t say anything, how can I know how we owe her?”

Lord Gu was secretly dissatisfied.

But he put on a smile and said, “My son knows. When he goes out, he will tell Sixteen to use the Falcon to deliver a message, ordering them to investigate more diligently.”

Only then did Old Madam Gu relent and no longer mentioned asking Qiuju to pack up and leave the house.

“Get up now. You are so old and still kneeling on the ground. It will be embarrassing if others see you like that,” Old Madam Gu asked her son to get up.

Lord Gu stood up and helped her sit on the chair. Then he said, “Forget it. It’s better not to save face. My son is so old, but you still beat him with a stick. I have never seen anyone serving my mother.”

Seeing his shameless look, Madam Gu felt a little tired. She waved her hand and said, “I know you miss your wife, go ahead. You two brothers should be nicer to Baozhu, don’t scold her all the time, talk to her nicely and teach her the truth slowly. You should pay attention to her martial arts.”

Lord Gu agreed to all of them.

Madam Gu looked tired and urged, “Go ahead. Mother is tired and needs to rest.”

Lord Gu then withdrew and said to Qiu Ju in private: “Keep an eye on the old lady. If she is sad, have someone tell me.”

Qiuju agreed.

Lord Gu thought for a moment and said, “If I’m not in the mansion, you can ask Miss Seven to come and comfort her. If Miss Seven can’t comfort her, ask Madam to come. We can’t let the old lady be depressed. It’s better to have someone around to comfort her.”

“Grandma Cheng next door sometimes comes to chat with the old lady to relieve her boredom. She can talk to the old lady.”

Lord Gu nodded: “Very good, you can invite her.”

Qin Yuan is young after all, so it’s a good thing that Madam Gu can get along with Dai.

Lord Gu then went to the outer courtyard to look for Lord Gu Liu.

“I heard you were looking for me today?”

Master Gu Liu sighed, “Yes.”

Glancing at Lord Gu’s gloomy face, he asked cautiously, “Did mother ask about Fourth Brother again?”

Lord Gu nodded heavily.

Mr. Gu Liu mustered up the courage to speak.

“Third brother, is the person in the dry well the sister of the Mo family?”

Gu Jinghui shook his head. Master Gu Liu breathed a sigh of relief and said, “I knew it wouldn’t happen…”

Before he finished speaking, Gu Jinghui said, “Not sure.”

“uncertain?”

Mr. Gu Liu was anxious.

“Third brother, what do you know? Tell me all of it.”

Gu Jinghui said, “I have kept this a secret from my mother. Sixteen sent someone to get information and they said that the old house of the Mo family was deserted and the old couple had disappeared. This matter is very strange.”

Master Gu Liu nodded: “I remember Sister Mo has two brothers.”

“Are you confused?” Gu Jinghui said, “Her eldest brother followed our father to Saibei and never came back.”

Master Gu Liu said, “Then there is also my second brother.”

“Sixteen said that her second brother went to Lingnan for business and never came back.”

Mr. Gu Liu’s throat was a little choked. Speaking of this, the eldest brother of the Mo family died in the northern border, and the second brother’s life and death were unknown.

“…This…This, our family and the Mo family haven’t had any communication for so many years, how come it has become like this?”

A family can fall into decline just like that.

Gu Jinghui put his hands behind his back, not looking at him, staring at a picture of a galloping horse on the wall, muttering, “This is extremely strange, shouldn’t the Mo couple stay where they are and wait for the second brother Mo to come home? The neighbors around are saying that the old couple is probably going to look for their daughter.”

Gu Liuye immediately said, “That’s possible, Third Brother. They don’t have anyone to rely on, so it’s good for them to live with their son-in-law.”

“But the people sent out by Sixteen to investigate the several daughters of the Mo family who were married have all disappeared in the past few years. The Mo family couple has not moved near their daughters’ homes.”

Mr. Gu Liu opened his mouth wide, unable to utter a word.

Lord Gu lowered his head and said, “There’s something even more bizarre. Mo Xiaoni’s husband’s family actually married her personal maid.”

“What on earth is going on here?”

Mr. Gu Liu’s heart felt like it was thrown into a frying pan. He staggered back a few steps and fell into the chair.

Marquis Gu’s voice was cold, “Sixth Brother, mother always said that our mansion owed Mo Xiaoni’er. Her marriage with the fourth brother was going to be settled, but who would have thought that something like this would happen. But this can’t be blamed on the Dingbei Marquisate. Didn’t Mo Xiaoni’er also end up getting married to someone else? What exactly does mother mean by this? Did something happen that I didn’t know about?”

Master Gu Liu said hurriedly, “Third brother, I don’t know anything when I’m at home. Accidents happened to people in my family one after another. I came back from the Imperial College to observe mourning and lost contact with my classmates. None of your friends have any contact with me. Auntie is pregnant and stays in the yard. Mother is trying to run the household and cries every night. You left a letter and left, it’s a mess.”

“After the accident of Old Four, have you seen Mo Xiaonizi again?”

Lord Gu stared at Lord Gu Liu and asked.

Master Gu Liu nodded: “I have seen her. She seemed to have been seriously ill. She spoke weakly. I don’t know what she said to my mother after she came. They hugged each other and cried. They are female relatives. I…some things are avoided from me. Besides, my aunt had just given birth to my seventh sister. After the confinement, she insisted on going to Shuijing Temple. I was also very upset. I only remember her…”

“She what?”

“She held onto Baozhu tightly, crying and laughing, saying she couldn’t bear to let go. I felt sad at the time, too. Who knew this would be the last time we would see each other?”

At this point, Master Gu Liu knew clearly that Mo Xiaoni was probably in great danger, and he became more and more dejected as he spoke.
