Chosen Son

Chapter 25 Laziness

Gu Fan stood in the room, looking at the gold and silver treasures placed in front of him, he was silent for a while.

"What's the matter?" The woman looked at him, the smile on her face was still dignified and decent, but the indifference in her eyes revealed that she was not very impatient at this moment.

"It's just a little emotional." Gu Fan said, "After all, eight years ago, the second lady stood in front of me like this, and gave me a large plate of gold and silver to tell me to leave quickly. It's just that things are different, and times have changed."

At that time, he only thought it was ridiculous, and he didn't even have a good impression of the second lady.Now that so long has passed, the memories have been put on a filter, and I feel a little nostalgic.

"Oh?" The eldest lady raised her eyebrows subconsciously, she really didn't know about it, "So it looks like she didn't succeed?"

"Gu believes that he should not have much fortune in this life, so naturally he declined the kindness of the second wife." Gu Fan smiled.

The woman in front of him also smiled along with him, but a dark light flashed in her eyes, which almost reminded Gu Fan of a poisonous snake lurking in the dark: "Then sir, do you want to reject my kindness today?"

"It's not that I don't want it, it's that I don't dare to have it." He sighed, "Although Gu is a poor scholar, he has always known that ill-gotten gains cannot be obtained. The gift from the second wife was the travel expenses back home. I'm afraid it's Gu's life money."

He flicked the gold and silver in front of him lightly, and when he raised his head again, there was undisguised disgust in his eyes: "Ma'am, what kind of poison is this time, or are there a few killers ambushed on the way out of the house? You do this repeatedly." Fandi harms people, won't you feel scared when you wake up in the middle of the night?"

Before the words fell, the woman's face changed instantly.

For a moment, Gu Fan felt that the woman in front of him almost wanted to strangle him with her eyes.

A person who commits many crimes can maintain an appearance of dignity when everything is still hidden under the water, but once the crimes he committed surface, he will completely reveal his hideous face and try to cover it all up.

The woman seemed to be trying to suppress her uneasiness and anger, and shouted: "Mr. Gu, please pay attention to your words."

"Compared with the so-called words, Gu obviously cherishes his life more." Gu Fan took a step back and bowed to her, "Madam, since you have done this, you can't expect the world to blindfold you and pretend not to see it. Do it yourself."

As soon as he turned around, he heard the sneer of the woman behind him: "Catch him for me."

Gu Fan directly kicked a servant who did not know when he appeared from the shadows, with a precise angle and full strength.

Just kidding, your elder brother Gu used to be on the school team, Gu Fan thought to himself, while complaining about how weak this body is - even though he has paid attention to improving his physique with diet, he is still powerless when fighting.Taking advantage of the fact that the rest of the people were afraid of him and didn't know his real strength for a while and dared not come up, he said coldly: "Madam, are you really going to bring this matter to the master?"

The woman took two steps closer, showing a charming and sinister smile: "How could it be, Mr. Gu died of a sudden illness, and the master has no medical skills, so what's the point of telling him."

Well, the cause of death was clearly arranged for him.

Gu Fan looked at her, and there was already some sadness in his tone: "I'm afraid Ma'am doesn't know, the master already knows everything. In this case, I died here with you. Do you really think he will believe that Gu is suffering from a sudden illness?" And die. Now there is no movement from the master, Madam, don't put a death talisman on yourself."

The woman's figure seemed to be shaking, but she kept her posture so well that it was not obvious, only the jewels on her head trembled and made a light jingle.

"Did you come up with such a lie to threaten me in order to get away?"

"Do you think it's necessary for me to lie to you?" Gu Fan felt helpless.

He even started to feel dissatisfied with Yang An. It was because of his many worries that the woman in front of him was so arrogant.Now all of this fell on his head, he seemed to be carrying a huge pot, and he dared not speak out.Now he is telling the truth, the best thing for a woman to do now is to be quiet, any disturbance can make Yang An make up her mind to completely throw her out of this house regardless of face, even the second wife can understand this, He believed that a shrewd lady like Da Fu wouldn't fail to understand what he meant.

Of course, all of this must be based on the "trust" of the eldest lady in him. If there is no trust, then no matter how eloquent he is, it will be useless.

The eldest lady didn't speak for a long time, looking at his face, the expression on his face changed, as if he was thinking about something.When she didn't speak, the people below naturally didn't dare to move. For a while, the air seemed to be stagnant, only the sound of the wind outside the window beating on the window lattice, which seemed extraordinarily quiet.

Just when the eldest lady opened her vermilion lips and was about to say something, the door was slammed open.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed in, as if they knew what was going to happen in the house, they didn't even look at the door after entering, and first set up the group of servants who were staring at the side.

Gu Fan: "..."

He is still waiting for the eldest lady to let him go. Where did this group of heavenly heroes rush in out of nowhere? ? ?

When he saw the last two people who walked in, his heart skipped a beat, and he understood everything at once.

It's cold, he thought complicatedly.

Of course, this cold sound was not for him, but for the lady. If Yang An originally wanted to solve it privately, Mrs. Bao, then the public execution under the watchful eyes of the public obviously made him feel very uncomfortable. If you can't get off the stage, then you have to push the source of the evil to the stage.

He flicked the dusty skirts of his clothes, and looked meaningfully at Yang Zheng, who was walking at the end, but the child deliberately avoided his eyes, and just stared at the woman in front of him intently.

The eldest lady was obviously also frightened by this battle, and her face distorted uncontrollably, but after all, she had experienced many scenes, so she quickly calmed down and greeted her with a forced smile: "Why is the master here?" ?”

Yang An's complexion was very bad, almost staring at her: "What are you going to do if I don't come?"

"I..." The woman's eyes dodged for a moment, "Isn't this because Zheng'er's homework has fallen behind these days? His mother just left, so I, as a aunt, naturally have to fulfill my responsibilities as a aunt. I'm a little worried, so I invited my husband over today to discuss Zheng'er's homework with him."

These high-sounding words sounded too fake, Gu Fan saw Yang Zheng's eyes were full of "make up, you continue to make up", almost laughed unkindly.

She has a bit of a brain, so she didn't ask Gu Fan to help her speak—maybe she knew that Gu Fan wouldn't be so careless, but Yang An obviously wouldn't be fooled by her so easily, so he turned to Gu Fan and asked: "Mr. Gu, is that so?"

"Ah." Gu Fan seemed to have just realized it, and then said, "No."

Yang An: "..."

Although he had already figured out the truth out of ten, it was the first time he heard such a straightforward answer without giving face.

Seeing that Gu Fan raised his sleeves, revealing a faint bruise - it was the scar he accidentally knocked on the chair when he kicked the servant just now, and he said plausibly: "The lady invited me here because she wanted to give me a gift. Hush money, don't let me tell about her poisoning and murder of the second wife, I didn't agree to her, she also instructed the servants to kill her on the spot, the plate of gold and silver on the table and the wound on my hand are all evidence."

As soon as these words came out, the people present couldn't help showing surprised expressions.

Half of the people were surprised by the fact itself, while the other half were surprised by Gu Fan's outspokenness.

Gu Fan himself thought it was nothing. His idea was very simple. Since the eldest lady is Tie Liang, there is no need to hide what she did. Strictly speaking, he and the eldest lady even had an enmity. Normal operation, not to mention what he said doesn't matter, the specifics have to be judged by Yang An himself.As for whether he is afraid of revenge—it is not too far before he leaves this world, the eve of parting...

On the eve of parting, of course, there is revenge for revenge, resentment for grievances, whatever happens.

The lady's face was already pale, and she could hardly speak. She forced herself to turn her face to look at Yang An, but when she met his gaze, her heart turned cold.

"Do you have anything else to say?" This time Yang An's question was aimed at her.

He didn't even question her to give her a chance to defend herself, but he directly nailed her to the pillar of guilt and shame.It seems that she has long felt that she is not a good person.

She glanced at Gu Fan with some resentment, eyes full of unwillingness, and then sighed inaudibly: "No."

Yang Anding stared at his wife who had been married for a long time, but closed his eyes: "Take Madam back to the room first, and deal with it later."

This is what it means to settle the ledger when the dust settles.

When everyone had dispersed, Gu Fan looked at the hesitant figure outside the window, smiled secretly, and deliberately dawdled for a long time without going out, until Yang Zheng walked in impatiently, only to see Gu Fan was sitting on a chair, sipping hot tea that had just been brewed—this man actually went to make tea while everyone was in a mess, and he still used the hand that was said to be injured, he stared blankly at After a long while, the vague sense of shame in my heart was almost gone.

Seeing Yang Zheng come in, Gu Fan rolled his eyelids: "Your aunt has said everything that should be said, so do you have anything else to say?"

I have learned Yang An's taste ten to ten.

For some reason, Yang Zheng didn't dare to look him in the eyes, but said stiffly, "Sir, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

The tone was very stiff, very reluctant, Gu Fan naturally wouldn't buy into him, put the teacup on the table firmly, and looked at him with a smile on his face: "Use me to accomplish your purpose, Good luck, Yang Zheng, all the sage books you've read teach you to respect your teachers?"

Yang Zheng's face turned pale all of a sudden.
