Chapter 73: Father-daughter confrontation

Gu Jiu took Qingmei to the outer courtyard study.
Gu Quan greeted her from the study, "The second girl is here. The master is already waiting inside, the second girl will go in directly."
Gu Jiu raised his head to look at the butler Gu Quan, "Steward, how good is my father these days? Is the Yamen busy?"
The corner of Gu Quan's mouth moved upward slightly, as if he wanted to smile, but he failed to show a smile. On the contrary, it seems a bit stiff.
He said: "The master is busy with official duties, so the second girl should not delay the master's time and go in quickly."
Gu Jiu smiled and nodded, "Thank the butler for reminding me, then I will go in."
Qingmei was about to follow in, but was stopped by Gu Quan.
Qingmei was a little worried, and Gu Jiu shook her head slightly to her, "You are waiting here."
Qingmei nodded, "Slaves obey orders."
Gu Jiu walked into the study alone.
The study is so big that all three houses are opened.
The east side is the office and the real study.
The west side is used for rest, bed and clothes are all available.
The middle room is used to meet guests.
Master Gu is struggling to write in the east side.
Hearing the movement, he didn't lift his head, but said, "Is Xiao Jiu here? Sit down."
Gu Jiu walked into the east room, looked at the layout of the study, then sat in a chair and waited quietly.
Master Gu finally finished writing the letter, dried it, put it in an envelope, and pressed it into the booklet.
Gu Jiu secretly glanced at Master Gu, but there was no sign of anger.
Gu Jiu wondered, if Master Gu knew that Xie Shi had drugged Pei Yun, would he not be angry?
Still, her judgment was wrong.
Master Gu asked her to come for something else.
Gu Jiu was speculating wildly, and Master Gu spoke.
"How's your body?"
"My tired father is worried, and my daughter's health is much better." Gu Jiu bowed slightly.
Master Gu stared at Gu Jiu, "Do you have anything else you want to say about the banquet at the General's Mansion the other day?"
coming!
It seems that her judgment is not wrong.
Gu Jiu calmed down and said, "Daughter doesn't understand what the father is referring to."
Master Gu said as usual, "Anything will do."
Gu Jiu pondered, "It's a pity that my daughter, she rarely attended a banquet, but failed to meet one or two friends."
"that's it?"
Gu Jiu nodded slightly.
Master Gu asked indifferently, "Did Gu Yue really push you?"
Gu Jiu frowned slightly, and returned to calm in a blink of an eye.
She nodded, "I pushed it. But the force was not strong. It was only because my daughter was standing by the pond and the rock under her feet was loose, so she fell into the water."
Master Gu raised his eyebrows, unexpectedly Gu Jiu was so frank.
Master Gu asked, "Are you admitting that you have the intention to use Gu Yue?"
Gu Jiu calmly faced Master Gu's gaze, and said, "Yes, my daughter does use the third sister."
Master Gu frowned, he didn't expect Gu Jiu to admit it so simply.
"Xiao Jiu, you should know that being a father will never allow your sisters to mutilate each other."
Gu Jiu was not at all embarrassed, "Daughter understands. But the daughter did not hurt the third sister, the daughter hurt herself."
Master Gu frowned tightly, with a Sichuan-like eyebrow that could trap flies.
Gu Jiu continued: "The only purpose of the daughter doing this is to let the father know the truth.
Last year, my daughter fell into the water and walked through Guimenguan, which has never been understood.
The daughter is not reconciled. So boldly calculated the third sister. But the third sister was not wronged. She was indeed responsible for the incident that her daughter fell into the water last year. "
Master Gu stared at Gu Jiu, "Why do you want to say this? Don't be afraid of being angry for your father and punishing you severely?"
Gu Jiu faced Master Gu's gaze, "Of course my daughter is afraid. But my daughter is willing to take a gamble."
"What are you betting on?"
"Bet that my father has a fatherly heart."
"Haha..."
Master Gu laughed loudly, "Xiao Jiu, you didn't tell the truth."
Gu Jiu smiled embarrassedly, and lowered his head and said, "Father, as a parent official, has been aware of the details, and has brought countless cases. The daughter does not think that lying in front of her father can be fooled. Therefore, the daughter can only be bold and honest. Please father to punish."
Master Gu laughed, "I won't punish you for my father."
Gu Jiu smiled, "Thank you, father."
Master Gu continued: "Your frankness is very satisfying for your father. If everyone is like you, don't be smart in front of the official, the trouble will be reduced by half. However, the most indispensable person in this world is the smart self."
Gu Jiu blinked, and Master Gu's words seemed to mean something. Did anyone commit the crime to Master Gu?
Master Gu took a sip of tea, his eyes sharp as a sword, and he pierced directly at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu calmly faced.
Master Gu nodded secretly, Xiao Jiu is good, courageous, and worth training. The only shortcoming is that Xiao Jiu's body is too weak.
"Recently, Gu Quan heard a rumor. This rumor has something to do with his wife and Luhou. What does Xiao Jiu want to say about this matter?"
Gu Jiu spoke nonsense solemnly, "My daughter doesn't understand."
Master Gu was expressionless, "You really don't understand?"
Gu Jiu nodded.
She would not complain in front of Master Gu.
To file a complaint also requires careful strategy.
Xie is pregnant now, which is equivalent to holding a Shangfang sword. At this time, avoiding the edge is the best policy.
He rashly complained and carefully shot himself in the foot.
After all, there is no evidence. Everything is based on speculation.
All in all, Gu Jiu is only responsible for passing things to Master Gu.
What to do next has nothing to do with her.
Master Gu smiled slightly, "Are you not willing to tell the truth in front of the father?"
Gu Jiu looked innocent, and said seriously, "My daughter really doesn't understand."
Master Gu stared at Gu Jiu, "Luhou has a daughter. It is said that he is in the northwest."
Gu Jiu looked shocked, "Luhou's daughter is in the northwest. Does the court leave it alone?"
"No one in the court knows."
Gu Jiu immediately covered his mouth, "Father don't worry, my daughter will not spread a word."
Master Gu was expressionless, and continued: "Someone is eyeing Luhou's daughter. If you can be an in-laws, it would be great.
However, Luhou has a high position and wants to get married. In the northwest, I am afraid that no one can be worthy of Luhou's daughter.
However, if there is a way to cook uncooked rice for mature rice, this marriage will not happen. "
Gu Jiu's eyes widened, "Don't you be afraid that Luhou will be angry and kill with a knife?"
"Fear!" Master Gu's tone suddenly increased. "So I am glad that this incident did not happen and was stopped in time."
Gu Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, fortunately."
Master Gu stared at Gu Jiu, "Xiao Jiu, what do you think about this matter? Should the person who counts Luhou's daughter be punished?"
Gu Jiu pondered for a moment, and said, "My daughter doesn't understand. It didn't cause any consequences, can it be treated as if it never happened."
Master Gu seemed to smile, "Do you really think so?"
Gu Jiu smiled embarrassedly, "Father, my daughter doesn't know how to decide the case, nor is it clear what kind of responsibility this person should bear."
Master Gu stopped going in circles and asked directly: "If you don't understand, why do you arrange for someone to pass the news to the housekeeper Gu Quan? You did this because you want to do something for your father."
Gu Jiu bowed his head and was silent.
Master Gu snorted softly, "Xiao Jiu, have you nothing to say?"
Gu Jiu said, "My daughter has nothing to say."
Master Gu asked: "So you are admitting that you were the one who prevented this from happening in the General's Mansion, and you sent someone to pass the news to Gu Quan."
Gu Jiu pondered, Master Gu asked so much, what was his intention.
Not busy to clean up Xie's, but here to interrogate her.
Yes, just try her.
Gu Jiu frowned and simply said, "My daughter is wrong, please father to punish me."
"Why are you wrong?"
Gu Jiu acted the opposite way, deliberately saying in the opposite direction: "My daughter shouldn't stop the sixth brother, and should cooperate with the sixth brother to cook the raw rice."
"absurd!"
Snapped!
Master Gu slapped the tabletop with a slap, angrily!
Gu Jiu's heart was settled.
She already knew Master Gu's attitude.
Gu Jiu slowly raised his head and faced Master Gu, "Father, did my daughter do something wrong?"
Master Gu snorted, "You did not do anything wrong, but you have caused a great trouble for your father."
Gu Jiu laughed, settled, and said solemnly: "Father, in fact, my daughter has always had a question.
The wife has always been shrewd and strong, and it is impossible for her to not know Luhou's foul name. But take the risk and do such a thing. Will there be any inside information? "
Master Gu did not answer, "What did you think of?"
Gu Jiu deliberately said, "I heard that his wife's elder brother is an official of the Donggong. Will this matter have something to do with Donggong?"
Master Gu stared at Gu Jiu. Gu Jiu's intelligence was beyond his expectations.
This conversation cannot continue.
When it comes to the East Palace, Master Gu dare not speak at will, let alone discuss with a girl.
He ended the conversation simply and neatly, "This matter ends here. From now on, don't talk to anyone. After you go back, get along well with your sisters.
For the father, I don't ask you to be more friendly, but don't make trouble all day. Otherwise, even you will be punished. "
Gu Jiu lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Daughter will follow the father's instructions. If the father has no other instructions, the daughter will leave."
"Get down."
