Chapter 310 Casting a Net to Fish(1/2)

Gu Qingzhou asked about Baolai clearly and began to prepare.

"Don't hold on, leave everything else to me." Gu Qingzhou reminded her, "Remember, don't act rashly, otherwise you will be helping you too much, do you understand?"

The third concubine nodded quickly.

Gu Qingzhou was satisfied, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, as clear as the light lotus bloomed.

The third concubine has always admired Gu Qingzhou's wisdom, and she really dared not interfere. She even pretended to be nothing, waiting for Gu Qingzhou to plan for her.

The maid Miaoer was very concerned: "Ms. Qingzhou asked when will she ask about Baolai's whereabouts?"

In recent years, Su Su and Miao'er have inquiries everywhere, but they still haven't found any trace of Baolai. They are almost desperate and have to place their thin hopes on Gu Qingzhou.

"She didn't say it." said the third concubine, "Qingzhou is smart, she can do it well."

"I don't believe others, but I believe it without doubt." Miao'er nodded quickly, "She said that if she could find Baolai, it would be fine."

The third concubine was a little silent.

Miao'er asked her: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm thinking about the second concubine." The third concubine replied to her spirit, "I really didn't expect that she would dare to run away. You said, why did Qingzhou arrange for the second concubine to escape?"

Miao'er thought for a while: "Maybe she doesn't want the second concubine to be upset?"

"The second concubine obeys Qingzhou's words, what can she get in the way? Besides, this matter has been unreasonable from the beginning!" The third concubine thought.

Miaoer said nonsense: "Maybe, this is the result that Miss Qingzhou wants? It is unreasonable, so it is not eye-catching or suspicious, and it has even more unexpected results."

The third concubine was slightly stunned.

Although it is absurd, the third concubine thinks Miao'er's words may have really come to the point.

"Miao'er, I didn't expect you to be talented!" The third concubine was surprised.

After such joy, the depression in my heart disappeared again, and my mood finally improved a little.

Miao'er's face turned slightly red: "I guessed randomly, who knows Miss Qingzhou's plan? If I have her ability, I will not be a servant."

The master and servant laughed.

The more the third concubine thought about it, the more she felt that Miao'er's words were reasonable: she would attack her unpreparedly and would have twice the result with half the effort.

Gu Qingzhou said that using some old methods can make Gu Guizhang tell the secret, and she did not exaggerate.

"Do you know why you can't find out any news?" Gu Qingzhou analyzed to the third concubine, "The only master in charge of this matter must be the one who handled it, and he hid everything."

The third concubine shed tears, and the pain was so painful that she almost dripped.

"I was the one who harmed Baolai." The third concubine cried with a suppressed voice.

Gu Qingzhou patted her shoulder: "It is obviously the murderer's crime, why do you involve yourself?"

In early August, there was a heavy rain at night. The heavy rain almost collapsed, almost destroying the road, and the trees in the courtyard were scattered by the wind and rain.

The temperature dropped and there was no more heat.

When it was windy and rainy, Gu Qingzhou was not asleep yet. She was planning something silently in her heart.

It was past three o'clock in the morning and after the rain gradually stopped, Gu Qingzhou went out.

She did not leave Gu Mansion, but went to the backyard.

"The backyard wall was blown down by the wind and should be repaired." When I woke up early, the manager told Gu Guizhang.

Gu Qingzhou pushed it himself.

Gu Guizhang wanted to instruct the second concubine to do it, but in a blink of an eye he found that the second concubine had been away for many days. His anger had passed, leaving only endless loneliness.

This incident was still very harmful to Gu Guizhang.

The second concubine abandoned him and destroyed his dignity as a man.

Without this dignity, he suddenly became depressed.

"Bad, let me deal with it. You'd better go to the yamen." Gu Qingzhou said.

She is willing to take on housework.

Gu Guizhang said: "It's good."

The remaining concubines were not as good as the weather, only Gu Qingzhou was a little capable.

After Gu Guizhang left, Gu Qingzhou arranged for someone to repair the backyard.

She hired a bricklayer.

As a result, the next day the bricklayer came, but injured his hand.

Gu Qingzhou was at a loss.

"What's going on at home recently?" Gu Qingzhou took advantage of the situation and said to Gu Guizhang, "The craftsman did a good job and actually smashed his hand. He had to rest for at least half a month to get better."

Gu Guizhang listened and felt that this was unlucky and said unhappy: "Isn't it normal for work-related injuries? Just change a worker!"

Gu Qingzhou immediately said silent.

Several concubines looked at Gu Qingzhou.

Gu Qingzhou went to the back door and gave the mason to fifty dollars.

"Miss, you are so generous!" The worker was very happy. This was something he could not earn back even if he worked for a year.

Gu Qingzhou's face was white, his cheeks were rosy, like blooming peach stamens, which seemed gentle, but his words were simply solemn: "Your hand was only a minor injury, and you can recover after resting for half a month. Remember, if you don't move hard for half a month, otherwise the disease will be in the future. I gave you a year's salary and took over the hands. If you don't listen to the advice and can't do things in the future, it has nothing to do with me."

"Don't dare!" said the worker.

After sending the man away, Gu Qingzhou asked the manager to find a craftsman again and repaired the backyard.

At the same time, Gu Qingzhou went to the tobacco shop and still looked for Master Xijiu.

She gave Xi Jiuqian and asked Xi Jiuye to help her do something.

After the matter was arranged, Gu Qingzhou went home.

After returning, Gu Qingzhou said to his family: "Be careful, the master may be in a bad mood, especially Lian'er and Gu Yun, don't go downstairs."

The fourth concubine was surprised: "What's wrong with the master?"

The third concubine remained silent and knew that Gu Qingzhou had started to toss.

"It's nothing. He wasn't very happy when he left in the morning." Gu Qingzhou said with a smile.

The fourth concubine complained: Didn’t you mess with me? You insisted on saying something bad that annoyed the master.

The fourth concubine felt that Gu Qingzhou's cleverness had disappeared, and she actually said those stupid things. If she hadn't intentionally annoyed the master, she would have been confused.

Raising a child requires a lot of energy. The fourth concubine didn't want to care about Gu Guizhang anymore, so she immediately coaxed the child and did not allow Lian'er to go downstairs.

At dusk, the sunset was golden on the curtains, and the mess in the courtyard had been cleaned up, but the ground was covered with gold, as if a layer of brocade was covered.

The weather is cool and pleasant, and everyone is in a good mood.

Gu Qingzhou fiddled with a bottle of roses in the living room, which she bought.

Gu Guizhang came back angrily.

As soon as he came back, he got angry.

Everyone in the family held their breath.

Gu Qingzhou also stood beside him in disappointment, not daring to speak

"Miss Qingzhou is about to compete with a fairy!" The fourth concubine was surprised and worried, hugged the children tightly, and did not speak out.

The third concubine was also curious.

Although he knew that Gu Qingzhou had provoked Gu Guizhang, the third concubine didn't know what Gu Qingzhou did, which made Gu Guizhang full of anger as soon as he came back.

The third concubine knew it was a plan, and she was curious and wanted to see what was going on.

The maid Miaoer is also very gossipy: "Sister, how did Miss Qingzhou anger the master?"

The third concubine didn't know.

"Is it useless for her to keep angering the master?" Miao'er asked again.

The third concubine shook her head again.

This matter has something to do with the third concubine and Miao'er, but they are in a fog.

"Qingzhou said that she wanted to use a very old-fashioned method." The third concubine thought for a while, "What is this method?"

Miao'er suddenly began to doubt her life: "Did Miss Qingzhou think it's useless, and we can't think of it? Is our brain rusted?"

The third concubine should be sad and worried, but she was amused by Miaoer's words: "It's hard to say to others, your brain must be rusted."

Having said that, the third concubine and the fourth concubine were still curious why the master was so angry today.

The one who is favored now is the fifth concubine.

Soon, the fifth concubine sent a message: "The master is a villain today."

It's specific: Since Gu Guizhang's archenemy Chen Heng left the customs office, a new deputy chief has entered, his surname is Hu.
