Chapter 386 There is a hidden stake

But now that he is back to be the head of the family, he naturally has to take care of everything.

Although the third daughter of the Gu family is from the side branch, as long as the surname is Gu, he has to pay attention to her. Before, it was because his grandmother was at home taking care of things and he was busy, so he had never studied her in detail. But now he has plenty of free time to think about these things, so his face became serious.

Seeing his expression, Du Jingyi understood a lot.

The most important thing right now is to give grandma a dignified burial, and other things can be discussed later, so he went forward to comfort her and said.

"General, my grandmother's funeral is the most important thing."

Gu Shaoyu knew what she meant, so he didn't say much and immediately expressed his opinion.

"Don't worry, ma'am. I understand."

No one understood the couple's riddle, but now that Gu Shaoyu was back, there was someone in charge of the family, so they felt a lot more at ease.

After a brief conversation, they went their separate ways.

Originally, we were supposed to continue the vigil today, but Gu Shaoyu said that everyone should have a good rest for the next three days, and he would be in charge of the vigil, and then everyone would keep vigil together until the day before grandmother's burial.

After hearing this arrangement, although Du Jingyi felt sorry for her husband who came back in a hurry without any rest, she also knew that this was his filial piety, so she did not stop him.

However, everyone was indeed very tired these days, so after receiving this arrangement, they all went back to have a good rest.

At Qiwu Courtyard, Gu Shaoyu sent Du Jingyi back, and the couple finally had a little free time to talk.

Du Jingyi snuggled in Gu Shaoyu's arms, unable to describe what she felt.

Want to cry? It seems like she has cried almost all the tears she could in this month.

Want to laugh? But the corners of his mouth were tightly pressed together, showing no energy at all.

Finally, it was Gu Shaoyu who broke the silence and asked.

"Why did my grandmother pass away so suddenly?"

Speaking of this, Du Jingyi had a lot to say. Then he stood up, glanced at Gu Shaoyuhou, and expressed his guess.

"When the accident happened, it was the night after the three children were 100 days old. At that time, we invited Dr. Xia and other doctors to see them. They all said that grandma died because she fell on her head, and there was probably a blood clot in her head, so it happened. But Dr. Xia mentioned to me that grandma had a heart attack, which caused her to fall suddenly."

"Myocardial infarction? Does that mean grandma has chest pain?"

"Almost. But I asked Nanny Qin, and she has never heard of or seen Grandmother complaining of chest discomfort, so I wonder if there is something behind this that we don't know about?"

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu frowned even more than Du Jingyi.

The public outcry now is that Madam Gu died in an accident, probably because of her age, so people only feel regret and have no doubts.

But Du Jingyi's words magnified the doubts in Gu Shaoyu's heart, so he paused for a moment before speaking.

"The Gu family also has a hidden presence in Jinling City, but it has never been reactivated since my grandfather left. When I came back to worship my ancestors, my grandmother gave me the list, so I'll move these people first to see if there's anything special."

"good."

After explaining these things, Du Jingyi felt exhausted. Seeing this, Gu Shaoyu said.

"You should have a good rest. I'm going to change cousin Zhao. It's getting late now, so he should go back."

After all, Xing Zhao was a stranger, so it made no sense for him to keep watch for Old Madam Gu, so Gu Shaoyu just asked him to watch for a while, and then leave after he passed Qiwu Courtyard.

Du Jingyi tidied his clothes a little and then said.

"General, you have been traveling a long way, so you should take care of yourself. If my grandmother knows about this, she will understand your feelings."

Then he asked Cherry to get some medicine to wipe the wound on his forehead, and then let him go.

Looking at Gu Shaoyu's back as he left, Du Jingyi felt much more at ease.

That night, everyone in the Gu family slept well. Even the eldest aunt, who had been ill for many days, showed signs of getting better.

She didn't want to think about anything else now, and was just looking forward to being able to get up and go to see her mother-in-law off on the day of her funeral. So she drank medicine like water these days, feeling groggy just to get some energy.

Du Jingyi woke up early the next morning.

Perhaps because he slept very comfortably at night, his overall mental state was much better than before, and he asked as soon as he stood up.

"Has the general sent breakfast?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Not yet, but Danruo said that Vice General Luo came by last night and asked for a few bowls of plain noodles. They were all delivered. He probably isn't hungry yet."

After hearing what Yingtao said, Du Jingyi remembered that there was a group of personal guards accompanying his general back this time. They looked young and naturally would get hungry easily.

So he gave the order.

"Tell Danruo to prepare more meals for the general and the guards in the future, and leave a cook in the small kitchen every day, so that there will be someone to use in case of midnight snacks."

"Yes, Madam."

Afterwards, Du Jingyi asked Yingtao to help her wash up, and notified Danruo to prepare breakfast and send it to the side room next to the mourning hall. She would have breakfast there with her general.

After packing everything, the master and servant set off.

As for Shuxiu, he had other arrangements, so he stayed in Qiwuyuan to look after him.

After kneeling all night, Gu Shaoyu's knees were a little red and swollen, but this little discomfort was nothing to him. He felt much better after getting up and moving around a little.

But Du Jingyi disagreed, so she rolled up his trouser legs for him and massaged him a little bit with medicated oil, then said with concern.

"The general is brave, so he naturally doesn't care about such a small problem. But as the old saying goes, a little bit of trouble adds up to a lot. If you don't pay attention to this today and that tomorrow, you will end up with a lot of illnesses. So you'd better be careful."

Seeing Du Jingyi taking care of him like this, Gu Shaoyu felt warm in his heart.

Although he had trained hard in the army before, he would have some injuries, but his uncles would just throw away the medicine and leave, so they wouldn't care about that. His cousins ​​were rough men, and they didn't know how to hit him. Sometimes the injury was not serious, but they made it worse. So compared to Du Jingyi's gentleness at this moment, Gu Shaoyu felt that his wife was good.

So he quietly enjoyed Du Jingyi applying the medicated oil to him and didn't say anything for a long time.

Du Jingyi didn't stand up and speak until Yingtao came outside and said that the food was served.
