Chapter 42 I want to beat him!
Gu Qingning: "Mo Yu, I won't leave the house. I'm just going to the Duke's study to borrow two books to read."
Mo Yu: "Yes."
Gu Qingning was a little embarrassed. After all, she went to the study to steal the files, and it was not convenient to bring Mo Yu with her. She was also worried that Mo Yu would tell Lu Jingyu after he knew about it.
Mo Yu: "I want to read."
Gu Qingning suddenly remembered the child’s miserable life experience, and her heart softened.
"Okay then, you can follow Sister Banxia to the first floor later. Read any book you want, and then wait for me obediently."
Mo Yu nodded.
Although this child is usually taciturn, he still listens to Gu Qingning, so she took him to the study.
Lu Yun waited respectfully at the door of the study, but his gaze lingered on Mo Yu for a moment.
Gu Qingning took the initiative to bring it up, "This is my new servant Mo Yu. Why does Steward Lu look at him like this?"
Lu Yun: "No, I just thought the child was pretty, so I took a closer look. My son is about the same age, but he doesn't look as smart as him."
Mo Yu is not smart. On the contrary, this kid usually speaks little and has a very low sense of presence.
Just because she's pretty and we're the same age, should I look at her a few more times?
Gu Qingning was puzzled, but did not continue to ask about it. Instead, she walked in.
As usual, the old method was used to let Banxia tie up Butler Lu. This time, there was also Mo Yu. Butler Lu seemed to pay special attention to this child.
Gu Qingning successfully went up to the second floor again.
She was already familiar with the place. Last time, she stole the master key from Butler Lu, so she quickly made a copy. It came in handy this time.
When Gu Qingning opened the drawer that had been stored there ten years ago and found the file of the Lin family tragedy, she was stunned.
Actually found it?
Could it be that it wasn't found last time, and was taken out by the Duke, and then put back now?
She wanted to open it and take a closer look, but suddenly there was a loud bang from below.
Gu Qingning quickly hid the file in her arms, locked the cabinet, and went downstairs immediately.
A row of bookshelves collapsed and Lu Yun was trapped underneath. Banxia went to move the bookshelves to save Lu Yun, while Mo Yu stood beside him with a stern face.
Gu Qingning: "What happened?"
Mo Yu actually frowned fiercely, snorted, turned around and ran out.
Gu Qingning's heart sank. This was the first time that Mo Yu acted like this. Something must have happened that touched his bottom line.
Banxia had already lifted up the bookshelf and rescued Lu Yun. Fortunately, he was stuck under the bookshelf and was not injured.
Banxia explained to Gu Qingning: "Just now I saw a picture album over there, and then Butler Lu went to talk to Mo Yu, and the bookshelf suddenly collapsed. Mo Yu used martial arts to dodge, but Butler Lu was pressed underneath."
Gu Qingning turned her head to look at Lu Yun, whose forehead was scratched. "Butler Lu, is this true?"
Lu Yong pressed his forehead with his handkerchief. "Well, I was chatting with Mo Yu and asked him where his home was, but the bookshelf next to him suddenly collapsed. Luckily, it was me who got hit, not you or the Duke."
Gu Qingning felt that this sentence sounded familiar. After all, when he met the man in black upstairs, he knocked Lu Yun unconscious with a bookshelf.
Seeing that Gu Qingning didn't say anything, Lu Yun persuaded her instead, "Madam, please don't be angry with Mo Yu. He is young, and it is reasonable for him to avoid danger as soon as he encounters it."
Gu Qingning followed his words and said, "Well, he has been in the mansion for a short time and is still young. Let someone teach him more later. Butler Lu, if you feel dizzy, go see the mansion doctor immediately."
Lu Yun nodded, "Madam, this place is too messy. I have to bring people to clean it up. How about you come back next time?"
Gu Qingning: "Okay."
She came twice by land transport and was smashed twice. This happened again and again. She can't come here in the short term.
Fortunately, I have found what I was looking for.
Although Gu Qingning was very excited holding the file in her arms, she did not ignore Mo Yu's matter.
"Banxia, is it true that Butler Lu only asked where Mo Yu is from?"
"Butler Lu did ask, but it seems he also said something else. Their voices were sometimes high and sometimes low, so I may not have heard a few words."
Gu Qingning frowned slightly, always feeling that there was something fishy going on.
However, when she returned to Songtao Pavilion, she did not see Mo Yu, and she didn't know where the child had gone.
After leaving a message for Chuan Gu to find someone, Gu Qingning turned and went into the study, and instructed that no one should disturb her.
When she sat down, Gu Qingning's heart was pounding and her hands were almost trembling as she opened the file, picked up the brush and began to copy.
She had to make a copy as quickly as possible and send the original back.
The case file clearly recorded the time when the Lin family tragedy occurred, as well as the condition of the corpses. First, ink smudged the rice paper, and then drops of tears fell down.
Although she was still young at the time, she still remembers it all.
The grandfather who usually smells like medicine, the loving grandmother, the handsome and elegant father, the gentle and virtuous mother, and the brother and sister-in-law...
The family members who were so warm in her memory turned into corpses described by cold words in the files!
However, what is even more tragic is that this was clearly a deliberate murder, but it was hastily determined to be a robbery.
How could such a stupid bandit come up with such a plan to rob a poor family of imperial physicians!
You don't need to guess, the Lin family must have offended some powerful person, which led to this tragedy...
She will definitely find out the truth and redress her family's injustice!
When she opened her eyes again, Gu Qingning had become very calm. She wiped away the tears from her eyes and copied the files carefully, without missing a word.
The file mentioned three witnesses: a night watchman, Lin's neighbor Wang Weishan, and a captured bandit.
The bandit himself confessed that they were just looking for money, but they went to the wrong house and alarmed the owner, so they had no choice but to give up.
This bandit has been beheaded as a public display.
He did not identify his accomplices.
But this is also a strange thing. How could they just happen to catch a bandit alive? Moreover, why did they just behead him when he refused to confess?
Also, there is a night watchman and Wang Weishan left.
At first glance, there was nothing wrong with their confessions, and they could even be described as perfect.
But if you really think about it, there are still big problems.
Just at this moment, voices were heard outside.
Banxia: "Mo Yu, Madam said that she wants to read in there, and no one is allowed to disturb her."
Mo Yu: "I want to beat someone, beat the housekeeper."
Banxia: "You want to hit Butler Lu? Why would you hit him? Madam won't agree, so don't cause trouble for her, do you hear me?"
Gu Qingning put the file away, pushed the door and walked out.
She asked softly, "Mo Yu, why did you go and beat Butler Lu?"
Mo Yu was like a stubborn little wolf, saying nothing.
Seeing that he said nothing, Gu Qingning asked everyone else to leave, took Mo Yu into the flower hall, and handed him a piece of freshly made osmanthus cake.
"Mo Yu, it's just you and me now. Can you tell me what happened in the study just now?"
