Chapter 48: Slander
Gong Xu has been detained in the Criminal Department for several days, but he has only been summoned once.
That day, while he was sitting in jail, Mrs. Song came to deliver food again.
"Why are you here again? Didn't I tell you? You don't come to a place like this. You are pregnant now, so you should rest." Gong Xu looked at Mrs. Song and said with distress.
The haggard look that Mrs. Song saw showed how worried she was about herself.
"Master, please don't stop me anymore. If I don't see you for a day, I won't be able to eat or sleep." Mrs. Song said, putting down the food box and handing all the meals to Gong Xu. .
Mr. Song delivers meals to Gong Xu three times a day, and Mrs. Song always comes once.
"It's all my fault for making you worry." Gong Xu couldn't help but blame herself, "Then it's enough for you to come once a day. Don't bother all the time, otherwise you won't be able to bear it."
Ms. Song nodded: "The old lady is back, and she doesn't know about it yet. I can't go out all the time, lest she find out and become suspicious."
"Mother is back," Gong Xu murmured He murmured, "Don't let her know first. She is an elderly person and cannot tolerate this."
"I know this, and I have repeatedly told the people below me not to let anything out." Mrs. Song responded.
"Then...the old lady also saw her?" Gong Xu did not name her, but both he and Song knew who he was talking about.
Mrs. Song lowered her head and was silent for a long time, then said: "I saw it. The old lady felt sorry for the fourth young master, and thought that since the master has left them, there is nothing to say."
< br>"I originally thought about waiting for the old lady to come back and explain it to her, but who would have thought that now I am locked up here again." Gong Xu was very upset in his heart, "We can only wait until later."
What will happen next? He doesn't know either.
Maybe he will be released without any danger, or maybe he will be implicated.
"Master, don't worry about these things. Take care of yourself. Eat quickly! Don't wait until the food is cold." Mrs. Song said this and poured another glass of wine, gently held it up and handed it to Gong. brag.
Gong Xu actually didn't have much of an appetite, so he reluctantly ate a bowl of rice just to avoid Mrs. Song being worried.
Then he urged her: "Go back quickly! It's damp and dark here. It's really not the place you should be."
"Master, I'll go back then and come back tomorrow." Mrs. Song Reluctant to leave.
When she returned to the house, Mrs. Yang ran over to her and said to her as if she wanted to take credit: "Little madam, our master's affairs are known to the court."
Mrs. Song raised her eyebrows after hearing this: "Really? Where is Wen Mingqian? "
"I don't know what she has been doing these days. She went out early and came back late." Mrs. Yang said, "I don't think she cares about the master."
"Then I have to go to the courtyard to see how anxious the old lady is." Ms. Song turned around and walked east. Of course she had to go and buy it.
Sure enough, after Mrs. Gong heard that her second son had an accident, she was frightened and worried, which led to dizziness.
Webster hurriedly sent for a doctor and asked: "Who told the old lady about this? Why are you so ignorant of the rules?"
No one dared to say anything.
Mrs. Gong said: "Why bother pursuing this? There is no airtight wall in the world. I will know sooner or later." Webster quickly comforted her mother-in-law: "Don't worry, it's just asking for questioning. That’s all, it’s none of Er Ye’s business.”
“You don’t have to persuade me, I’m not stupid yet, I just have to find a way to take out my dick. But his eldest brother is not at home, what use is there left with only a group of women and children?" Mrs. Gong Gong lamented again and again.
Although Gong Er is not the main culprit, since he has been detained in the Criminal Department, it means that he is related to him. If he is not careful, he may be sentenced to prison, and his career will be greatly damaged.
The doctor came after a while. After checking his pulse, he prescribed medicine and told him not to worry or worry and to rest.
As soon as the medicine was brewed, Mrs. Song walked in.
He came to the old lady's bed and hissed: "Old lady, please take care, you are the backbone of us all."
Old lady Gong was lying there with her eyes closed. After listening to her words, Yang Shen raised his eyelids and glanced at her and said, "You also have a son. If something happens to your son, how can you take care of yourself as a mother?"
"What the old lady said is," Mrs. Song was always good at being a low-key, "I just came back from delivering food to the second master, and he repeatedly told me to try not to let you know and not to worry you."
"Is he okay in there? Didn't he suffer much?" The old lady was worried about her son and naturally asked Song.
"Don't worry, old lady. Although the second master is locked up, he has not been tortured. He has only been questioned once." Mrs. Song said, "I go there every day, and everything in the prison has been taken care of. I bring hot meals and a change of clothes every day."
"Well, you have always been dedicated to this, so I can't help you." They say that they love the house. Although the old lady in the palace doesn't like the Song family, she looks at it. She really cared about Gong Xu in every possible way, and she also missed her a lot.
"This is what I should do, but I have an unkind request. I want to ask the old lady to make the decision." Mrs. Song took advantage of every opportunity.
"What's going on?" Mrs. Gong asked.
"Second Master has been there for many days, but my wife has never visited him once, so I don't think it's appropriate.
It's better to take advantage of the opportunity and ask my wife to send him off a few times. Isn't it a good thing to just bridge the gap between the two of them?
Besides, even if it's not for this, it should be shielded from the eyes of outsiders. After all, my wife is back now, so it doesn't look like it to outsiders. ." Mrs. Song began to tell Wen Mingqian about his black condition.
"Hasn't Ming Qian been there? She has been out every day these days." Webster couldn't help but ask.
"My wife does go out every day, but she doesn't go to see the second master. It's hard for me to ask her where she went, lest she worry too much and make her unhappy," Mrs. Song said.
In fact, she knew clearly in her heart that Gong Xu was not willing to see Wen Mingqian at all, and even if she went, she would be kicked out.
But in Mrs. Gong's opinion, as a wife, Wen Mingqian should be by her husband's side when he is in trouble, otherwise she has lost her sense of womanhood.
So although he didn't say anything, there was an unhappy look on his face.
Mrs. Yang added even more jealousy: "Our aunt can't eat or sleep every day. She either sighs or wipes away tears. Old lady, you have seen how haggard she is now.
But there was no trace of sadness on the second wife's face. She dressed up carefully every day and went out, only to come back after dark.
It is said that a friend in need is a friend indeed. Now that the Second Master has encountered difficulties, how do you feel?
Although I am a servant, I still find it a bit annoying that the second wife is so careless..."
"Mother Yang, shut up! Who allowed you to talk nonsense in front of the old lady? Doesn't this make the old lady upset? Mrs. Song stopped and said, "Hurry up and get down!" ”
