第518章 蹊跷
说到这个,顾老夫人便哑了声。

顾侯爷赶紧道:“娘,我知道娘对莫小妮儿觉得亏欠,但这也只能怪老四和她有缘无份。如今过去这么多年,只怕她早已儿女成双,咱们这会子找过去,又勾起她的伤心事,这不是又去伤她一次么。”

顾老夫人重重叹气。

顾侯爷又道:“咱们也不急于这一时,对不对。儿子让人慢慢去打听,眼跟前还有这么棘手的事要办,娘不要在这个时候让儿子牵挂。等打探清楚了,过了这阵子,娘要亲自去见她,儿子就安排鸢儿陪着您一起去,如何?”

这番话,真是晓之以理动之以情。

顾老夫人沉默半晌,笑道:“老三,你这媳妇娶得好,若是以前你必然说不出这么一大堆话来宽我的心。”

见娘似乎被安抚住了,顾侯爷这才松了口气,觍着脸道:“娘,您给儿子娶的媳妇自然是好的,娘只当是心疼儿子,过阵子再提这事好不好?”

顾老夫人冷笑道:“你哪里知道莫小妮儿的可怜之处,我们顾家是真正亏欠了她,给你说也说不明白,你只需记得,莫小妮儿的事就是咱们侯府的事,她若是过得不好,娘晚上睡不着觉。”

“您什么都不说,我怎么知道咱们怎么亏欠了她了。”

顾侯爷腹诽。

面上却堆笑道:“儿子知道了,出去就吩咐十六,让他用海东青传信,勒令他们打探的勤快些。”

顾老夫人这才松口,不再提要秋菊收拾东西出府的事了。

“你起来吧,这么大岁数还跪在地上,让旁人瞧见了像什么话,”顾老夫人让儿子起来。

顾侯爷起身,将她扶到了椅子上坐下,这才道:“算了,这面子不要也罢。儿子这么大岁数还不是被您拿着棍子打,娘身边伺候的那个没见过。”

看他没皮没脸的样子,顾老夫人很有些心累,摆手道:“我知道你想媳妇了,你去罢。你们两个做哥哥的对宝珠好些,不要总是训她,有话好好说,道理慢慢教。她的武艺,你要上心。”

顾侯爷一一答应。

顾老夫人面露倦容,催道:“你去罢,娘累了,要歇歇。”

顾侯爷这才退了出来,私下里对秋菊道:“你盯着些老夫人,若是她伤心难过了,就让人来告诉我。”

秋菊答应了下来。

顾侯爷想了想又道:“若是我不在府里,你们就让人叫七小姐来哄,七小姐哄不住就叫夫人来。总不能让老夫人憋着,身边要有人开解才好。”

“隔壁成奶奶有时候过来寻老夫人说话解闷,能和老夫人说到一处。”

顾侯爷点头:“甚好,去请她也行。”

秦鸢毕竟年纪小,顾老夫人能和戴氏说到一处,也是好的。

顾侯爷这才去了外院寻顾六爷。

“听说你今日寻我?”

顾六爷叹道:“是。”

看了眼顾侯爷暗沉的脸色,小心翼翼地问:“是不是母亲又问四哥那事了?”

顾侯爷沉重地点了点头。

顾六爷鼓足勇气开口。

“三哥,那枯井里的人是不是莫家姐姐?”

顾靖晖摇头。

顾六爷松了口气,道:“我就知道不会……”

话未说完,顾靖晖道:“不确定。”

“不确定?”

顾六爷急了。

“三哥,你究竟知道些什么,一口气说出来罢。”

顾靖晖道:“这件事我还瞒着娘呢,十六派人去打探消息,说是莫家的老宅都荒了,老夫妻都不见了。这件事本就蹊跷。”

顾六爷点头:“我记得莫姐姐还有两个哥哥。”

“你糊涂了?”顾靖晖道:“她的大哥跟着咱爹去了塞北,没回来。”

顾六爷道:“那还有二哥呢。”

“十六说,她二哥去岭南做生意,一去不归。”

顾六爷的嗓子就有些梗,这么说起来,莫家大哥死在了塞北,二哥生死不明。

“……这……这,这么多年,咱们家和莫家也没通音信,怎么就成这样了。”

一个家说败落就败落了。

顾靖晖背着手,也不看他,盯着墙上的一幅奔马图,喃喃道:“这就蹊跷的厉害了,难道莫家夫妻不该留在原地等莫二哥回家么?周围的邻居都说这对老夫妻只怕是去寻女儿了。”

顾六爷立即道:“也有可能啊,三哥,他们膝下没人,去傍着女婿过活也好。”

“可是,十六派出去的人打探莫家出嫁的几个女儿,这几年间都陆续没了。莫家夫妻也并未迁居到女儿家附近。”

顾六爷张大了嘴,说不出半个字来。

顾侯爷低下头,道:“还有更蹊跷的,莫小妮子的夫家,实际上娶的是她的贴身丫鬟。”

“这,这,这究竟是怎么回事?”

顾六爷的心像是被丢入了油锅里煎似的,向后踉跄了几步,倒在了椅子上。

顾侯爷的声音冰冷,“老六,娘总说我们侯府都欠莫小妮儿的。她和老四的婚事本要定下来,谁料到却出了这样的事,可这也怪不得定北侯府,莫小妮儿不是最后也另外定了门婚事么。娘这话究竟是什么意思?是不是发生了什么,我却不知情?”

顾六爷慌忙道:“三哥,我在府里,也是什么都不知。家里的人一个一个的出事,我从国子监回来守孝,和同窗们就都断了联系,你那些朋友们都和我没有往来。姨娘又怀着身孕,只窝在院子里。娘强撑着掌家,天天晚上哭。你又丢下封信就走了,简直一团乱。”

“老四出事之后,你还见过莫小妮子么?”

顾侯爷盯着顾六爷问。

顾六爷点头:“见过的,她像是大病了一场,说话有气无力,来了后和娘也不知道说了什么,抱在一起哭。她们是女眷,我……有些事都是避着我的。再说我姨娘刚生下七妹妹不久,出了月子就闹着要去水镜庵。我也心乱的厉害,只记得她……”

“她什么?”

“她抱着宝珠不撒手,又哭又笑,还说真是舍不得。我那会儿也觉得心酸,谁知道这就是最后一次见面了呢。”

到了这时,顾六爷心里也清楚,莫小妮子只怕已是凶多吉少,越说越颓然。

Although she is puzzled about why her younger sister behaves this way, one must seize a windfall when it falls from the sky!!! In her previous life, her younger sister envied her: “Qin Yuan could only pick what I discarded since childhood.

Where did my Prime Minister's wife go? Why is my husband still a low-ranking official? Besides the difficult mother-in-law, there’s also a childhood friend cousin watching closely!” Qin Yuan laughs: “This forced title of Duchess handed to me is quite enjoyable. Tsk tsk… I can do business, excel in medicine, and possess strategies both in mind and stomach. In my previous life, this Prime Minister's wife was all planned by me, naïve little sister.” In her past life, her husband was firmly locked with her younger sister, so in this life, she won’t have to exert effort climbing up with him; isn’t it better to achieve success on her own? — The Duke of Dingbei, who married late to defend the border, becomes a god of war in uniform, and when he shaves his beard, he turns into a handsome young man, with countless women yearning for him. On their wedding night, he left his young wife, thinking he could just coax her. Later… he discovers that she doesn’t care at all and has been playing him. Daily life in the Duke’s residence: The Duke of Dingbei kneels at the door: “I know my wife has me in her heart, please give me another chance.” After a long pause, Qin Yuan replies: “Depends on my mood.” Others: Tsk tsk, the Duke is indeed the lady’s devoted dog, a professional.
