Chapter 174 Great Evil
Chapter 174 Great Evil
As soon as Lin Wanhui came out of the woodshed, she dressed herself up. She wanted to go to Zou to improve her favor first, but when she got there, she found out that Zou was not in the yard at all. She had taken Gu Suiyu to burn incense.
Lin Wanhui snorted coldly, tucked her hair behind her ears, turned and left.
Since the old lady is not here, then let's go to Gu Changqing's place. Su Jin is gone anyway, right?
From now on, Gu Changqing belongs to her alone, and even the entire Yong'an Marquis Mansion belongs to her!
Lin Wanhui was so happy.
She quickly came to Gu Changqing's yard, and couldn't help crying as soon as she entered the door.
"Master, I thought I would never see you again..."
When she cried, Gu Changqing softened his heart.
People like Gu Changqing are typical people who are soft-hearted and cannot stand being tough. Even if the matter is not a big deal, if you insist on confronting him, then this small matter can become a big one. However, no matter how big a mistake you make, as long as you can cry humbly a few times, Gu Changqing can make it small.
As long as you are willing to bow to him and satisfy his self-confidence, everything will be easy.
Lin Wanhui seized on this point, so she came over crying and apologized. Sure enough, Gu Changqing didn't say anything more, and the two of them closed the door and stayed intimate for a long time.
After the two of them had rested enough, Lin Wanhui said coquettishly: "Sister is just like that. Master, don't be angry with sister. She doesn't have Master in her heart, but Wanhui does. Master, you are my only hope. I can't live without you."
The more Lin Wanhui clung to Gu Changqing, the happier he felt. As a man, it felt really good to be needed by others. Especially when his career was not going well and he was looked down upon in the court, Gu Changqing liked this feeling even more.
"Humph, Su Jin is too naive. Does she really think that she can live happily after divorcing me?"
Gu Changqing still feels that Su Jin must have had a very hard life after leaving Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
"None of her children will be with her, no one in the court will have contact with her, and no one will marry her. She is destined to be alone for the rest of her life."
Lin Wanhui's eyes twinkled, and she obviously agreed with Gu Changqing's statement. She was a little happy at the moment, but she said, "Alas, my sister is so pitiful."
"She asked for it!"
"Well, what the master said is..."
Lin Wanhui giggled and said, "It's just that someone has to take care of the affairs of the harem. Master, you go to court every day to handle official business, so how can you take care of it? The old lady is old, and we, the younger generation, should be considerate of the elders. Husband, don't you agree?"
Someone has to take care of the affairs of the backyard, but the person who can take care of the backyard can only be the mistress. In the past, even if Lin Wanhui was so active, she could only take care of Gu Changqing's yard at most.
Now, Lin Wanhui actually wants to take charge of the rear house?
Gu Changqing glanced at Lin Wanhui, and Lin Wanhui's heart skipped a beat. She bit her lips unwillingly.
As expected, it still doesn't work. Is managing the harem destined to be a luxury for her?
Lin Wanhui was in a bad mood, but she didn't want Gu Changqing to distance himself from her again, so she choked up and said, "Master, can I go see Brother Yun?"
"Well, I'll go with you."
After Gu Ziyun was imprisoned, the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion made arrangements with the people, but until now, no one has visited Gu Ziyun.
Lin Wanhui was imprisoned, so naturally she couldn't go, and Lin Ruyun would be even less likely to go. She was a girl waiting to be married, so what was the big deal about going to the prison?
Only the servants in the mansion were ordered by the old lady to deliver food and drink every day and to take care of the relations in the prison cells.
As for Gu Changqing, he had been thinking about Su Jin during this period, so he remembered to go see Gu Ziyun.
Therefore, what he said about being a doted son is all false, he just does whatever he wants.

Daxiangguo Temple is a royal temple, but ordinary people can also come. It is open to the people at other times except when the royal family has sacrifices or activities.
Zou and Gu Sui Yu rode in a bumpy carriage and soon arrived at the temple.
The steps of the temple were high, so Zou had to get out of the car and walk up step by step.
Gu Suiyu supported him from the side.
"Grandma, why are you coming here to burn incense when you are fine?"
Gu Suiyu asked.
Zou wiped her sweat and said, "Gu Ziyun's incident happened in the mansion. Your father is on leave because of it and has not been able to return to his post yet. Your grandfather has also been ignored by the emperor because of this. I thought of coming here to burn incense and pray for the safety of the whole family. In addition, I also pray for your mother's safety and good fortune..."
While Zou was muttering, Gu Sui Yu felt that things were not that simple. She decided to follow her grandmother closely and see what she would do.
Soon, people from the temple came out to greet her. After all, she was the wife of a marquis, so she didn't need to squeeze with ordinary people.
A group of people came to the quiet temple, burned incense, worshipped Buddha, and added incense money.
Zou's attitude was very pious, and Gu Suiyu followed suit and worshipped Buddha, the only person he wanted in his heart was Su Jin.
I hope my mother will live a happy and worry-free life in the future.
She muttered to herself.
After worshiping the Buddha, Zou went to draw lots.
When Su Jin left, he took her aside and talked to her alone. These words remained heavy in her heart, making her unable to sleep or eat, and unable to sit or lie still. That was why she hurried to Daxiangguo Temple. Burning incense was just an excuse; the most important thing was to ask for divination.
The old host helped Zou sit down, handed her the stick, and said earnestly: "Old Madam, sincerity will do the trick. Just pray for whatever you want in your heart."
Zou was very familiar with this process, but the old host still explained it again. Zou took it nervously and knelt in front of the Buddha to ask for a fortune.
She closed her eyes tightly and frowned slightly, and it was obvious that she was uneasy.
Gu Suiyu's brows furrowed even deeper. What on earth was he asking for?
“Pah!”
Soon, a sign fell out. Zou hurried to take a look, but found huge words on the signature: Very bad luck.
"ah!"
Zou was so frightened that her body went limp and she was about to fall backwards. Fortunately, Wen's mother was quick to support her and stopped her from falling backwards.
"How, how could it be a big disaster?"
The last thing people who ask for divination want to see is a bad omen, but Zou's first fortune sheet happened to be one of them.
Seeing this, Mother Wen quickly picked up the stick and put it back, saying, "Madam, this doesn't count. Let's start over!"
"Again?"
Can it still be like this?
Mother Wen couldn't care less and insisted, "Start over, start over!"
"All right."
Zou then let out a long sigh, knelt down with a serious look, and continued to shake the bucket in her hand.
“Snap!”
The stick fell down, revealing the back of the stick. Zou turned it over and her face changed drastically when she saw the words on it.
Surprisingly, it’s another fierce one!
Zou was already on the verge of collapse, but Mother Wen quickly stuffed it back: "Come again, come again, if the Buddha blames you, blame me, old lady, come again!"
Come again?
Zou was staggering, but the third time, the fourth time, and every time, it turned out to be a disaster.
Now, even Wen’s mother was dumbfounded.
