Chapter 136 General, she is the daughter of the Ge family
In the yard, Lin Qinnan was instructing the servants to pack up all the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as gold and silver jewelry in her room and prepare to take them away.
In addition to the things in her yard, Guo Yian also saw his mother's things in front of the mountain of gifts.
His mother loved to collect all kinds of beautiful jade bracelets. There were many high-quality ones here, all of which he had seen before as his mother's collection.
"Qiniang, what are you going to do?"
These things were previously hidden by my mother in a very secret place, and even the people who confiscated the house did not find them. I don’t know how Lin Qinnan found them and took them all out.
When Ge Linlang saw Guo Yian who suddenly appeared here, she was stunned for a moment, then she smiled and said:
"There are people out there looking for you, why are you back at this time?"
If we arrange for someone to go to the palace now to report that Guo Yian's whereabouts have been found, we don't know if it will be too late.
While Ge Linlang was thinking this in her heart, she was dealing with Guo Yian while trying to find an opportunity to wink at her trusted maid.
However, Guo Yian was very cautious. He kept staring at her and also made some suggestions.
"These are things my mother collected with great difficulty. They are worth a lot of silver, but if I sell them now, the silver won't be easy to carry. It's better to find a place to hide them first and plan for the future."
Ge Linlang felt relieved when she heard this.
It seems that he still doesn't know that it was he who personally went to the Golden Palace to report the Guo family's corruption and abuse of power, and sent Prime Minister Guo to the guillotine.
Her eyes flashed, and she said immediately, "General, you don't know, this is all my mother's order."
Guo Yian was stunned, as if a little surprised, "Mother?"
When his father got into trouble, his mother happened to go to the temple to pray and escaped the disaster. He immediately arranged for people to go to the temple to pick up Liu, but they were too late. Liu had already been secretly taken away.
"So, it was you who arranged for the people to take my mother away in the first place?" Guo Yian quickly figured out the key point and asked Ge Linlang. He subconsciously took a few steps closer.
Ge Linlang frowned slightly at first, somewhat resisting Guo Yian's approach.
If it weren't for her life, she would have slapped Guo Yian in the face long ago.
"That's right. When I first heard the news, I sent someone to take my mother away. Now she is settled on the farm, well fed and well taken care of. General, you can rest assured."
Liu was indeed taken away by someone she sent, but as to whether she was treated to good food and drink, that was hard to say.
Although Liu had been very good to her from the beginning, she should have been grateful, but as soon as she thought that the other party was her enemy, and this kindness was based on the fact that she, Ge Linlang, was still useful.
When she thought of this, the remaining guilt in Ge Linlang's heart disappeared.
She and the Guo family had an irreconcilable feud, so it was already very good that she did not torture Liu.
Guo Yian did not doubt him and quickly believed what Ge Linlang said.
However, at this moment, a servant suddenly rushed into the yard. After seeing Guo Yian, he quickly cried out in tears.
"Wow, General, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, I'm afraid the entire Prime Minister's Mansion would have been emptied out by Aunt Lin."
This servant was called Acai. He had been a close aide to Prime Minister Guo. On the day of the house search, Ge Linlang personally led the palace servants to open the door of the cellar and search out the rare treasures inside.
Ah Cai saw all of this and has been keeping an eye on what's going on in the mansion these days.
As expected, today, Ge Linlang actually found the treasures hidden by the lady, and even planned to take them all away.
"General, she's not Lin Qinniang at all. Her name is Ge Linlang, and she's from the Ge family. It was the Ge family who beat the drum at the palace gate, causing the Prime Minister to be impeached. Now he's been imprisoned in the Sky Prison. General, quickly apprehend this woman!"
As Ah Cai finished speaking, the place suddenly fell into silence. For a moment, you could hear a pin drop.
Guo Yian first turned his head slowly, his eyes fixed on Ge Linlang, as if he wanted to see through her.
It wasn't until a long while later that I heard his restrained and subdued voice: "Is what he said true?"
At the same time, his hand hanging by his side had slowly moved to the hilt of the knife, as if if Ge Linlang dared to say no, he would immediately make the other party bleed to death on the spot.
Ge Linlang naturally noticed his actions, and her heart instantly rose to her feet.
Just when everyone was holding their breath, thinking that a bloody incident was about to happen, they suddenly saw Ge Linlang sneer.
"laugh."
Then she met Guo Yian's gaze calmly, and placed her hand on her lower abdomen, saying with a determined look:
"Since you have doubts, General, then just kill me directly. Why ask so many questions?"
Guo Yian seemed to have not expected the other party to react like this, and for a moment he was struggling in his heart.
At this time, Ge Linlang was heard saying, "If I were a daughter of the Ge family, would I be able to predict the future? I actually foresaw that my mother-in-law was in trouble, so I sent someone to meet her early.
If I were a girl from the Ge family, would I be willing to bear the child of my enemy just for revenge, just so that when my entire family was raided, I would not quickly escape with the money, but instead foolishly wait to be captured?
If I were a daughter of the Ge family, wouldn't I have sent someone to the yamen to report the general the moment he showed up? Instead, would I have waited here foolishly, exposing myself to danger?"
After hearing these words, Guo Yian was stunned.
His gaze also fell on Ge Linlang's lower abdomen, as if he was thinking about the credibility of the other party's words.
Acai on the side was dumbfounded. He never thought that at this time, this woman still wanted to undermine the trust between him and the general.
He immediately jumped out and pointed at Ge Linlang angrily:
"How can you dare to argue in front of the general? You are still harboring evil intentions."
"General, I swear on my life that this woman is from the Ge family. She is lying!"
"Oh?"
Ge Linlang's eyes suddenly turned, staring sharply at Ah Cai, and asked, "If I were a girl from the Ge family, then may I ask, among so many women in the brothel, why did the general choose me alone?
If I were a daughter of the Ge family, why didn't I drive you servants away the moment the incident happened in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Instead, I chose to stay here and spend money everywhere, just to make my father-in-law's life in the prison better. "
"If I were a daughter of the Ge family, where would I get the courage to go against the Guo family and the Empress without knowing the consequences?
In my opinion, you are the spy sent by the Ge family. Your purpose is to cut off the incense of the Guo family and sever the roots of the Guo family!"
boom!
As Ge Linlang finished her last sentence, everyone present glared at Acai, wanting to see how he would respond to this series of questions.
Acai was also shocked.
He never imagined that this woman would dare to talk nonsense and distort the facts in front of the general.
Seeing Guo Yian looking at him with an extremely unfriendly look, Ah Cai panicked. He hurriedly explained:
"That's not the case, General. Believe me, this woman is really a daughter of the Ge family. I heard her talking to her maid with my own ears."
When he thought of this, Acai seemed to suddenly remember something important, and hurriedly looked around, as if he wanted to find Ge Linlang's trusted maid.
