The entire Gu Mansion was invisibly like a dark cloud, with sorrow and resentment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Not to mention the sudden "illegitimate child" on the day of the master's birthday, the lady completely blackened her face with the old man and the second lady, so that the lion dance performance arranged by Gu Wanyan was carried out in a depressing atmosphere, and the fireworks show was simply canceled.

What worries the people of the Gu Mansion even more is that early this morning, someone found a female corpse in the dirtiest firewood room in the backyard.

Human lives are at stake, and this is no small matter.

When the next person came to report, Gu Wanyan was having breakfast in the room. After hearing this, her whole body suddenly stood up with every hair, her brows were deeply locked, and without saying a word, she dropped her chopsticks and carried the corner of her skirt and went straight to the firewood room.

The deceased was a coonclothed maid. Coincidentally, this maid is none other than Dong Xue, who helped Su Qiu commit perjury and cause Gu Wanyan to be imprisoned last time.

Dongxue's neck was surrounded by bruises, and even tinged with abnormal black and purple, if she guessed correctly, she should have been strangled to death. Winter Snow was cold, the skin of her hands was pale, and her stiff fingers were in the shape of teeth and claws, probably traces of struggle when she was pinched.

Gu Wanyan stood about two steps away from the female corpse, holding her forehead with her eyes closed, quickly calmed down in a panic, and dispersed the onlookers in the backyard. Then because the nature of the matter was very serious, she immediately decided to send the housekeeper to report to the official, and then found someone to call Gu Ran and Gu Mo back from the store. Of course, such a major event cannot be hidden from the old lady.

The government soon came to the government, Lu Arrest Kuai, guards, and coroners.

Everyone was stopped ten meters away from the firewood room, and the coroner came out of the firewood room with a series of tools to carefully examine the body, and told Lu Zhukuai that the deceased had been suffocated by excessive force and suffocation, and the time of death was about a day. Lu Zhutou thought for a while, and went to the scene where the deceased was found to have a look around.

There do not seem to be any signs of a fight or struggle in the firewood room, so it is inferred that the deceased must have been killed elsewhere, and then the killer dragged her body here.

Lu Zhutou hugged his arms and reasoned, only to hear a sharp cry from twenty meters away.

"Winter Snow...... Winter Snow!"

Gu Wanyan tilted her head, only to see Su Qiu crying into a tearful person, tripped and fell when she trotted over, and then she immediately ran and crawled to break through all obstacles and rushed into the firewood room.

Gu Wanyan's gaze followed Su Qiu, but when she saw Su Qiu staying at the door the moment she saw Dong Xue's corpse, the expression on her face was full of fear and disbelief.

Lu Zhutou roared: "Hurry up and get out! Don't disturb official business!"

Su Qiu burst out crying again and collapsed to the ground.

Lu Zhutou was impatient and waved his hand: "Get her out for me!" As soon as the words fell, several accompanying guards took Su Qiu out.

I saw that when Su Qiu was put out, he was in a demonic barrier, and he muttered silently, crying: "There will be retribution...... Retribution......

Gu Wanyan knew that Su Qiu and Dong Xue had a close relationship, and she couldn't help but sympathize when she saw Su Qiu so distressed. She summoned a few other servants and asked them to help bring Su Qiu back to her room to rest and take care of her.

When Su Qiu was dragged out of the backyard, Gu Wanyan felt that she looked at her clearly, and her eyes were full of fear.

It's incredible.

After the Gu family returned, Lu Zhutou made a record of everyone one by one, and then questioned his subordinates one by one. Even the old lady asked, but there was only one person missing-Fifth Miss Gu Huan.

Gu Huan's maid apologized to Lu Zhutou and said that Gu Huan had a high fever and had been unwell for a whole day, and he had not gotten up from a groggy sleep. In this way, Lu Zhutou did not forcibly go to Gu Huan to make a record, and returned to the government first with some clues investigated.

After the people from the government left, Gu Wanyan wanted to try her best to adjust the tense and stiff atmosphere, and smiled at the subordinates: "What should you do, don't make a noise about this matter, it should just be an accident, everyone can do their part." ”

Having said that, in the face of the fact that a lowly subordinate died in a strange and tragic firewood house, how could other subordinates not be afraid?

The problem of illegitimate children brought by the second lady has not been thoroughly investigated, and another life has been pulled out in the house, and the old man has a lot of gray hair overnight, and the stubborn old diseases on his body have begun to make trouble again. Last time, Xu Dong gave the old man acupuncture to treat hysteria and seemed to have a good effect, Gu Wanyan put aside his personal grudge and invited Xu Dong to treat the old man.

But she didn't expect that Xu Dong was done with the master, so he went around to Xiyuan to find her.

Gu Wanyan has been so busy in the past two days that she has been dizzy, and the dust on her body in the firewood room is all over now, and she has not changed it until now.

As soon as she changed her clothes and stepped out of the room, she saw Xu Dong coming with her hands fluttering.

Since they met, Gu Wanyan and Xu Dong have rarely had troubles, but this time, she really blamed him for not respecting his opinion.

Gu Wanyan looked at him angrily and turned around and wanted to leave, but Xu Dong stopped her: "Don't blame me, I'm for your good." ”

Gu Wanyan turned her head in shock when she heard this, and looked at Xu Dong with wide eyes: "You know?"

Xu Dong nodded.

Gu Wanyan looked left and right to see if there was anyone, walked two steps, raised her head and asked him in a low voice, "Do you know that Chu Lanyi was arrested?"

Xu Dong nodded again.

Gu Wan's face was angry, but Xu Dong patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "You send me, don't stay here between the two of us, talk while walking." ”

Gu Wanyan said okay.

They walked slowly all the way from Xiyuan to the Gu Mansion in a big circle.

The two of them walked and were silent for a long time before Xu Dong spoke quietly.

Xu Dong walked and said in a voice that only Gu Wanyan could hear: "Indeed, I deliberately told Gu Mo about this matter, and I also suggested that he be persuaded to tell Master Xiao about Chu Lanyi's whereabouts." ”

Hearing this, Gu Wanyan couldn't help but stop, and looked at Xu Dong with wide eyes in confusion.

Xu Dong chuckled, dragged her and motioned her forward: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." ”

Gu Wanyan silently followed Xu Dong's footsteps and lowered her head silently.

"Chu Lanyi, do you really think that I can rest assured that you have been in close contact with him for a long time? Of course not. I told Gu Mo and asked Gu Mo to join the imperial court to arrest Chu Lanyi, of course, to keep Chu Lanyi away from your life. Again—"

Speaking of this, Xu Dong glanced at Gu Wanyan who was listening, and then returned to the right and looked straight ahead, and then said slowly: "Again, I know that Gu Mo knows your situation and will protect you well." Even without Chu Lanyi's source, I bet that he Gu Mo will keep you fine. ”

Gu Wanyan's face turned white and then red when she heard this. She lowered her voice to speak, and her voice was rare hoarse: "Why do you say that?"

Xu Dong smiled calmly: "You just believe me." ”

When the two of them walked to the door, Xu Dong asked her to stop: "I know that there have been a lot of things in the Gu Mansion recently, and the burden on your body is also heavy." Drink more chrysanthemum tea I gave you last time in your spare time, and things will be resolved, don't worry too much. ”

Gu Wanyan sent Xu Dong over, watching him step into the carriage and leave slowly, she couldn't figure out how many meanings Xu Dong's words about Gu Mo were.

Reluctantly, she lowered her eyes and walked back, and when she walked to the corridor leading to Xiyuan, she happened to meet Gu Mo with a solemn face.

Gu Mo seemed to be going out, and the two collided head-on, so they couldn't be silent. She pretended to look up naturally and asked, "You want to go out?"

Gu Mo glanced down at her: "Hmm." ”

And then without saying more, Gu Mo passed by her, leaving Gu Wanyan with a blank face.

====================

Where is Gu Mo going?

Answer, enter the palace. Just about an hour ago, Gu Huan, the fifth young lady who was commensurate with her illness to the outside, dragged her sick body and looked for Gu Mo with a lifeless face.

However, what Gu Huan said to him next made Gu Mo fall into contemplation and contradiction.

After thinking about it again, Gu Mo secretly made a decision - to enter the palace.
