During dinner, the fourth concubine and Qin Zhengzheng said those words deliberately, which aroused the suspicion of the second concubine.

Obviously, the second concubine couldn't imagine that her human performance was as bad as Qin Zhengzheng's, so she couldn't see the clue.

Gu Qingzhou looked peaceful.

She knows that if you want to succeed in something, you have to build momentum, not overnight.

There must be a problem with the chicken soup, and Qin Zhengzheng and the fourth concubine also have problems, but it didn't happen today.

After dinner, Gu Qingzhou was slow when drinking the soup, and the old lady scolded her again: "Slow, very squeamish, how can it be like 缃缃 and Yingying?"

Gu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Old lady, Weiwei used to be at home, and she was so slow to eat."

The old lady never paid much attention to her granddaughter. After being here for so long, she only regarded Gu Shao as a treasure, and there were three people, Gu Huang, Gu Ying and Gu Qingzhou, who were enough for her to toss. She even forgot about Gu Wei.

Gu Qingzhou mentioned this, the old lady immediately remembered it, turned her head and asked Qin Zhengzheng, "Where's Weiwei?"

Qin Zhengzheng was speechless.

Later, when Gu Qingzhou went upstairs, he vaguely heard the scolding of the old lady on the second floor, as if scolding Gu Qingzhou.

Qin Zhengzheng must count Gu Wei's running away from home and count it on Gu Qingzhou's head.

"She's a little bitch, she should be beaten to death!" the old lady scolded, "Let me tell you, is there still a family law?"

Qin Zhengzheng comforted her.

"...You are still protecting her, and her ancestors will lose face in the future!" The old lady was still scolding loudly.

Gu Guizhang couldn't help but roar, and then stopped.

They didn't go upstairs to find Gu Qingzhou to settle accounts, so Gu Qingzhou pretended not to know.

Gu Qingzhou didn't care too much, turned over lazily and continued to sleep.

The next day, she woke up at four in the morning.

After grooming, she put on her schoolbag, took advantage of the misty dawn, and walked for more than an hour until the early morning tram finally arrived.

Gu Qingzhou took the tram, then changed to a rickshaw, and arrived at the address that Mrs. Zhu told her last night.

The reason why she came so early is because she has to go to school later. Gu Qingzhou must have something to do recently. If she can not ask for leave, she will try her best not to ask for leave.

After knocking on the door, Gu Qingzhou stepped aside.

A middle-aged man, with a pale face, opened the small opening in the door. After taking a look, his expression changed greatly.

He knew Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou didn't know him very well.

Behind the man, the adjutant held the gun to his waist and stretched his head to take a look.

"Miss Gu." After seeing Gu Qingzhou, the adjutant threw the man away.

Another adjutant tied the man, opened the door, and Gu Qingzhou entered the house.

The house was on the second floor, small and narrow, and the surrounding walls were damp, so most of the white ash fell off and became mottled. On the west side against the wall was a small bed, the head of which was covered with newspapers, and the woman sat down with the child in her arms, shivering.

Gu Qingzhou didn't care what to say, and went up to see the child in the woman's hand.

The woman was so frightened that she wanted to kowtow: "Miss, please forgive us, Miss, we are also under orders."

Gu Qingzhou took the child from her.

Very light and thin, not like a one-year-old doll at all.

The child was sleeping soundly, his face sallow, skinny, and softly dying.

The child is more than one year old, and his facial features can be seen, very much like the fourth concubine.

only.......

Seeing that the child's other hand was hidden in her sleeve, Gu Qingzhou rolled up her sleeve.

Seeing the little hand in the sleeve, Gu Qingzhou was stunned.

The child's left hand was thin and sallow, with only three fingers. The little finger had been cut off for a long time and had scabbed over; while the ring finger was freshly cut, the wound had not yet healed, and there were blood stains.

Gu Qingzhou was completely stunned, and a hot anger rushed into her mind.

"Qin Zhengzheng is really crazy!" The anger in Gu Qingzhou's heart was like rolling waves, surging in waves.

She slapped her backhand and slapped the woman in the face.

The woman was unprepared, staggered by Gu Qingzhou and fell to the ground.

"Where's the finger?" After Gu Qingzhou finished playing, his eyes fell on the faces of the man and woman.

The woman was slapped and fell to the ground for a long time, unable to get up. She wanted to avoid the disaster without moving.

Men are also hesitant.

"Adjutant, kill him!" Gu Qingzhou pointed to the man, "One witness is enough. The man is killed, and the woman remains."

The lieutenant drew his gun immediately.

The man's legs were so frightened that he knelt down for Gu Qingzhou and climbed up in front of her: "Miss, spare your life, miss! It's...it was cut by the villain, but the villain was also ordered to do things, Mrs. ordered."

Gu Qingzhou remembered at this time, this man is Wu Laoliu, the servant in charge of purchasing the Gu family.

Procurement is the most lucrative, and those responsible for procurement must be cronies.

It turned out that he was Qin Zhengzheng's henchman.

And this woman is Wu Laoliu's wife, not working in the Gu family.

The two of them, one is responsible for daily delivery of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and the other is responsible for taking care of the fourth concubine's daughter.

When the fourth concubine was disobedient, Qin Zhengzheng chopped off a finger for the fourth concubine.

Gu Qingzhou felt that the meanest and filthiest people were more human than Qin Zhengzheng!

Gu Qingzhou felt heavy in his heart, angry and sad, and even wanted to stab Qin Zhengzheng to death.

After a long while, Gu Qingzhou was still angry.

The child's immature face, pure and innocent, but **** are missing.

It was the first time that Gu Qingzhou was so angry, and she was tightly wrapped by a sad anger.

"Tell me, how are you going to send a letter to your wife?" Gu Qingzhou sat with a gloomy face, holding the fourth concubine's daughter and interrogating Wu Lao Liu.

"I come once every five days to bring food and drink, and then report the situation to my wife. My wife comes every other month." Wu Lao Liu said.

"When is the next letter?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Wu Laoliu said nervously: "It's this afternoon." He came over in the morning to give him support, and was held by the adjutants.

Gu Qingzhou nodded.

She said to Wu Lao Liu, "Go back and continue to tell your wife that everything is as usual, you know?"

"Yes, yes!" Wu Lao Liu said.

Gu Qingzhou asked him again, "How many children do you have?"

"Three...three." Wu Laoliu didn't know well, so he kowtowed to Gu Qingzhou, "Miss, you bypass my child!"

Gu Qingzhou looked at him indifferently, and said to the adjutants, "lock up all his women and children, and let them go later."

The adjutant said yes.

In this way, Wu Laoliu would not dare to secretly report to Qin Zhengzheng, and would take care of Qingzhou's orders.

Gu Qingzhou took the one-year-old baby girl to He's pharmacy.

Seeing the child's hand, Mu Sanniang covered her mouth and cried, "Who is so immoral?"

He Mengde applied medicine to the child. Seeing that the child was breathing in but not breathing out, He Mengde said, "It's too weak. If it goes on like this, it is estimated that he will die within two months."

"Make up for her." Gu Qingzhou said.

She still had to go to school, so she entrusted the child to the He family.

After school, Gu Qingzhou bought milk powder and cakes and rushed to He's Pharmacy.

The child has woken up, and sisters He Wei are teasing her.

Mu Sanniang took the milk powder and went to make a cup for the child, and He Wei fed her the cake again.

The child's eyes are bright and soft, with little energy.

"She can talk." He Wei said.

A child who is almost two years old can naturally speak.

"What's your name?" Gu Qingzhou asked her.

The child took a bite of the cake and timidly hid behind He Wei.

He Wei coaxed her and told her again and again that Gu Qingzhou was not a bad person.

"My name is Lian'er." The child's voice was milky, lacking in breath, but her voice was cute and cute.

"Lian'er, why did you come to the city?" Gu Qingzhou asked again to see how much she remembered.

"Come and find Mom." Lian'er said, "My mom..."

She knew that her mother was in town.

He Wei accompanied her to eat cake, and after drinking a glass of milk, Lian'er also became a little more lively.

Mu Sanniang and Gu Qingzhou stood at the door talking.

"...It's the fourth concubine's wife." Gu Qingzhou said, "the wife coerced the fourth concubine, so she took Lian'er as a hostage."

"Then you shouldn't cut the child's fingers, it's too much. She is also a mother herself. How can she be so cruel? She's not a human being!" Mu Sanniang wiped away tears.

Gu Qingzhou was also sad.

The soft eyes of a child can evoke all the sympathy in people's hearts.

Such a soft and weak child, how can Wu Laoliu get rid of that dog?

How could Qin Zhengzheng open his mouth to give orders?

"Auntie, you can take care of me for a few more days, and I'll bring some food when I get back. When the family is busy, I'll send someone to pick her up." Gu Qingzhou said.

Mu Sanniang said, "You don't need to bring anything here. We still have some cash, so we won't treat her badly."

Gu Qingzhou nodded.

When returning to Gu Mansion, Gu Qingzhou looked cold.

After dinner, Gu Qingzhou walked with the fourth concubine.

Fourth Auntie's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and she needs to take a leisurely walk every day after meals.

Qin Zhengzheng has the handle in hand, and is not worried about Gu Qingzhou instigating the fourth concubine to resist, and let Gu Qingzhou accompany the fourth concubine out without caring.

"... Fourth concubine, how old is Lian'er this year?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

The fourth concubine paused, looking at Gu Qingzhou as if struck by lightning.

There was a faint hope in her heart, and she held Gu Qingzhou's hand tightly: "Miss Qingzhou, you......Did you see my Lian'er? Did you rescue her?"

Gu Qingzhou was silent.

There are only two street lamps in the back garden, where the light is dim, Gu Qingzhou's brows and eyes are particularly cold.

"Fourth Concubine, you are a real failure as a mother!" Gu Qingzhou said, "Lian'er broke two fingers, and you didn't resist, you actually gave up the life of the child in your womb! You thought that if you gave in, you could really save Lian'er. life?"

The fourth concubine was in a daze at this moment.

These secrets were planned by Qin Zhengzheng, and Gu Qingzhou had already guessed it.

Qin Zhengzheng wanted to use the child in the fourth concubine's womb to set a trap for Gu Qingzhou and the second concubine, and completely eradicate them both.

The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are full of flesh, Lian'er is already a living being, and the child in her belly has not yet seen the light of day.

Always have to choose one, after the fourth aunt was too painful, she chose Lian'er.

"Save me, Miss Qingzhou!" The fourth concubine almost knelt down for Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou supported her and whispered, "Be careful, there are eyes around this house!"

The fourth concubine immediately cheered up and stood up.
