Chapter 471 (2/2)

The Hu family is entertaining guests.

After Gu Jiu indicates her intention, she tells her servant girl to greet the guests, and then she takes Gu Jiu to the wing room to talk.

”The second sister wants to ask the old man how he died, right?”

Gu nine nods, ”the old man's body I still calculate clear, he hasn't come to the time of death.””Who said no. Now that my husband has said something, I will not hide it from my second sister. The old man committed suicide by burning charcoal. ”

”What?”

Gu Jiu can't believe it.

At first she wondered if the old man had been murdered.

I never thought it would be suicide.

The blood on her face faded. ”For no reason, why did the old man commit suicide? The father's case has been solved and the house has calmed down. There is no reason for the old man to commit suicide. ”

”That's what we all think. But the old man was sure that it was written in his last letter. He said that he had lived enough, so he decided to make up for himself. After that, everything has been arranged, even enough money has been reserved for funerals. ”

Gu Jiu took a deep breath, ”where is the old man's letter? I want to see it myself. ”

”The letter is in the hands of my great uncle.”

Gu Jiu went directly to the big room and ordered Mr. Gu to leave a letter.

Mr. Gu seems to have been prepared. ”I knew you would ask about this. Here is the letter. You can read it slowly.”

Mr. Gu gave the letter to Gu Jiu and left the study.

The letter is very thick, full of seven or eight pages.

First of all, the reason for the suicide, and then the arrangement of future affairs, the idea of separation. Even Gu Shan's marriage was considered.

For fear of delaying Gu Shan's marriage, the old man specially mentioned it in his last letter. He asked Mr. Gu, the second room, to seize the opportunity to marry Gu Shan to the Duke of the state of Zhu.

After that, the government talked about filial piety.

In addition to the cost of funeral, Mr. Gu also left some private money, all of which were divided into two parts.

Even Gu Jiu was given two thousand taels of silver and several servants.

After reading the thick letter, Gu Jiu is more and more sad.

This is indeed Gu's handwriting.

Gu Jiu is good at imitating handwriting, so she is very sensitive to handwriting.

The handwriting is confirmed to be correct. It was written by Gu himself. The choice of words and sentences are also Gu's idioms, showing a sense of arrogance.

Even if you are going to die, you should scold all the unfilial sons and grandchildren in the will, leaving a big shadow for them.

But just because the letter is true, Gu Jiu's doubts are growing.

Master Gu came in from the outside, ”have you finished watching it?”

Gu Jiu took the note and asked, ”why does the old man want to die?”

”The old man said in his letter that

”Does uncle believe it?” She interrupted Mr. Gu.

Master Gu was a little confused, ”what do you believe in?”

”Uncle really believes in the reasons written in the letter. The old man wanted to commit suicide because he was tired of living?”

Master Gu was embarrassed for a moment, ”what if you don't believe it. Now that it's done, it's important to let the dead rest in peace. ”

Gu Jiu shook his head. ”There must be a reason for the death of the old man. He may have been forced to death. ”

”Why do you think so? Who can kill the old man? Don't you think you're a skeptic? impossible. No one can kill the old man. ”

Mr. Gu denied it.

Gu Jiu said: ”I didn't say it was Gu Fu's people who forced him to death.”

”Who are you talking about? Who has the ability to kill the old man? ”

Gu Jiu put down the suicide note, ”this is just my guess, uncle don't have to worry about it. The funeral is to be done as it should be. Four younger sister's marriage had to be arranged as soon as possible, so as not to delay her youth.

As for the separation, you can discuss it. If you need me to show up, you can go to the palace and say it. ”

Master Gu felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't guess.

Gu Jiu is not willing to say more.

It's just her guess. She has no evidence to prove it.

She was in a gloomy mood.

When I was in the atrium, I met Gu Yu and Gu fourth brother.

Gu Yu's expression is a little gray. Recently, his life is not very good.

”Second sister, I'm sorry.”

”Fourth brother Gu, I'm sorry.”

After a pause, Gu Jiu suddenly asked, ”is my father really innocent in the case of Hubu's ink corruption?”

Gu Yu frowned. ”Why did the second sister suddenly ask about this?”

Gu Jiu said casually, ”I'm just curious. I heard that Mr. Ma hasn't been found yet. It can be said that he can't live or die. It's weird. ”

Gu Yu frowned and pondered for a moment. ”It's not right to say that adults are completely innocent.”

Did Mr. Gu really take part in the corruption case?
