Chapter 602: Miss 5's Past
What the third concubine said was true. Ji Ze is in a very high position now. Once he falls, many people under him will be promoted accordingly.
Therefore, few of the people he had offended would hope that he could live well.
But this black shadow doesn't look like someone from outside.
Gu Chaoxi thought for a moment, but had no clue. He just knew that the black shadow was probably here for the land deed.
"Then is this land deed you mentioned in your own hands?"
"Of course not." The third concubine tilted her head with some pride.
"Humph, that's the trump card I saved for my future life. How could I just leave it in the yard? Of course it's in a place that only I know."
She looked very proud, but she had reason to be proud.
Nowadays, the title deed to a factory is really worth a lot of money.
Pei Yan raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically: "Then you'd better pray that this black shadow won't come looking for you again, otherwise you may not be able to survive."
When the third concubine heard this, she became anxious. This was not acceptable.
She grabbed Gu Chaoxi's sleeve and tears came out in an instant.
Otherwise, if Ji Ze had fallen in love with her and married her, it would seem that no one would have shed tears.
"Second Miss, Third Master, you can't do this. I still want to live a good life."
"Now that this person is dead, the title deed is useless no matter how valuable it is, right?"
"As long as you are alive, you can find a way to make money later."
As she spoke, she winked at Gu Chaoxi.
Gu Chaoxi didn't buy it. He immediately pulled his arm out of the third concubine's hand and smiled awkwardly.
"Third Auntie, I am also an ordinary person. I don't even know what that black shadow is. What can I do to help you?"
Then she looked towards Pei Yan.
The third concubine is a smart person, Gu Chaoxi is a weak woman, but Pei Yan is not.
"Second Young Master, look, please help me with this matter. If you can solve this trick, I can give you half of the land deed."
Pei Yan's eyes turned and he smiled: "Sure."
When the third concubine heard this, she thought, that’s it, as long as that ghost doesn’t come to see her again.
Seeing that she was about to get out of bed to look for something, Gu Chaoxi raised his hand to hold her down and said, "Third Auntie, don't worry. You can give it to the Third Young Master tomorrow. But I have something to ask you."
"Second Miss, just tell me. I will tell you everything I know."
Since she has told me everything she knows, don't blame her for asking some explosive questions.
She looked at Pei Yan, then looked away, looked at the Third Concubine's expression, and slowly smiled.
"I want to know, is there any other kind of friendship between the fifth sister and the eldest brother?"
The question was asked cleverly. The Third Aunt was choked for a moment and did not answer. She looked at her awkwardly.
Gu Chaoxi raised his eyebrows, waiting for her answer, not in a hurry, nor urging her, just watching.
The third concubine finally couldn't stand it anymore. She raised her hand and scratched her hair, looking like she wanted to escape: "How can I know so much about what happened between these children?"
"You are the fifth sister's mother. If you don't know, who will know?"
Gu Chaoxi used some strength to hold down the third concubine's arm.
She felt pain, but she had no choice but to look at Gu Zhaoxi resignedly: "I really don't know."
Although her daughter was her biological daughter, she was taken to another courtyard by Ji Ze to be raised since she was born with poor health.
Even the people who served the Fifth Young Miss were maids and servants assigned by Ji Ze himself.
She would go to the Fifth Miss's yard every now and then to find out what was going on.
The child knew that she was his biological mother and respected her and visited her occasionally, but the two of them just couldn't seem to get close to each other.
Moreover, after the fifth daughter was born, although Ji Ze treated his third concubine very well, he brought in the fourth concubine a year later.
To say that I love her a lot is not the right word.
When the Fifth Miss grew older, she began to have her own ideas. She would learn from the nanny some household chores that the girls learned, but she was not very close to the Third Concubine.
They interacted less and less, and later it was just a weekly meal together, or they would just run into each other naturally at the house.
Apart from that, there is nothing else.
So, she really didn't know whether the relationship between the Fifth Miss and the Eldest Young Master was good or what it was like.
"Why did you take the Fifth Miss away to raise her instead of letting the Third Concubine raise her herself? After all, she is the biological mother."
This was the question Gu Chaoxi asked after he left the third concubine's yard.
Pei Yan glanced sideways. Indeed, why didn't Ji Ze let the third concubine raise the fifth young lady, but instead took her away and brought her to a separate courtyard?
Suddenly, a possibility came to his mind.
"Could it be that this Fifth Miss is not the Third Concubine's biological daughter?"
You have to know that the child was taken away from his biological mother when he was so young. Who can be sure that the third concubine remembers what the baby looked like?
As long as there is a period of time between the Third Concubine and the Fifth Miss, it is entirely possible to replace her with someone else.
Gu Chaoxi was also thinking about this possibility, and it was indeed possible.
But what’s the point of doing this?
To put it another way, what if Miss Five is the biological daughter, but the other one is not?
For example, young master?
However, Gu Chaoxi quickly rejected this idea in his heart, because the probability that the eldest young master was not his biological son was too small.
Today Ji Ze also said that if he passed away due to illness, his younger brothers and sisters would still have to rely on the eldest young master.
In other words, the eldest young master must be Ji Ze’s biological son and is someone Ji Ze trusts very much.
From what the Fourth Young Master said today, we know that the relationship between the Eldest Young Master and the Fifth Young Miss is indeed unusual.
The first wife's child and the third wife's child have a special relationship, and the second wife's son happens to know it.
The relationship between these wives is also quite interesting.
Gu Chaoxi couldn't help laughing out loud as he thought about it.
Pei Yan walked beside her and couldn't help but turn his head to look over when he heard the voice: "What's so funny?"
She covered her lips and thought for a moment, "Do you think there is a possibility that these ladies are not as discordant as they appear to be? On the contrary, they are particularly harmonious."
It was so harmonious that several people wanted to kill Ji Ze and then leave the house.
If this is the case, we need to know what the grudges are between each wife and Ji Ze, and what motivates them to be so united.
Pei Yan nodded, understanding what she meant.
"Go back and have a good rest first. Maybe some things will change tomorrow."
For example, besides the third concubine, was there anyone else who saw the black shadow tonight?
Why was it that only Ji Ze didn’t see it?
Perhaps this is just some kind of psychological suggestion.
