Chapter 394: Plea of Guilt
Hearing what the subordinate said, Fu Guogong took a deep breath, and with a heavy heart like going to the grave, he asked the subordinate to bring the people from the Cui Mansion up, hoping that the news brought by the other party would not be too bad, so that he could have room for remedy.
After a while, the subordinates of the Cui Mansion were led up, and the subordinates saluted the Fuguo Gong and stood there with their heads bowed and waited for the Fuguo Gong to ask.
Fu Guogong didn't have anything strange when he saw that person's expression, but he seemed to be a little tired, and his lower eye circles were all blue, obviously not sleeping well.
Fu Guogong quietly asked the person about his intentions.
"Grandpa Guo, the patriarch of my family asked the little one to come to the house to invite you to come to the house, saying that he should have come in person, but there is an urgent fact at home and he can't leave, so I can only ask you to come to the house to discuss, and don't be surprised by the grandfather of the country!" said the man respectfully.
Fu Guogong was already very nervous, but now when he heard that someone in the house was sick, Fu Guogong's eyelids suddenly began to jump.
"Ahem、、、" Fu Guo Gong coughed twice to hide his heavy mood, and then Fu Guo Gong calmed down and asked the man, "But I don't know what is the urgency in the house? Even your family patriarch must stay at home!"
"If you return to the country, the reason why the patriarch stays at home is because the ancestor in the mansion was unwell last night and tossed for a night, and now it is not very good, so the patriarch can't come to visit the mansion in person, and please ask the grandfather Haihan!" said the next person.
The current patriarch of the Cui family is Mrs. Cui's father-in-law, and now the helmsman of the Cui family, although the Duke of Fuguo is an official in the same dynasty as him, he usually has no deep friendship. And the ancestor who said just now is the mother of the Cui family, the old lady is more than seventy and almost eighty this year, but her body is still very healthy, and she is the longest-lived old man in the capital.
"Why is it your old lady?" Fu Guogong suddenly asked in surprise, he thought it was just Mrs. Cui, if it was an old lady, then the problem would be even more serious!
The subordinate was stunned for a moment, but then said, "It's my ancestor who is sick!"
"Uh, then、、、 did your old lady take the medicine given by my four girls?"
"Eat, if it weren't for the old ancestor, it wouldn't be like this! The head of the family said that you should take the fourth lady in the house with you, and the head of the family asked the fourth lady about the medicine. The servant said.
Listening to the words of that person, Fu Guogong's heart was completely cold, it seems that he was right, this pill really caused trouble, and it also caused a big disaster, and now he actually poured the medicine of the ancestor of the Cui family, and Fu Guogong has no idea even if he is smart.
Fu Guogong originally wanted not to take Xu Youran to go, after all, this incident was caused because of her, in case the people of the Cui family wanted to take revenge, what if Xu Youran was chopped up, although this little guy would cause trouble for himself if he was fine, and he would challenge the limit of his nerves in three days, but no matter what, it was also his granddaughter, and he couldn't let outsiders bully him anyway.
But Fu Guogong just found an excuse to say that Xu Youran couldn't go, but when the next person heard it, he knelt on the ground and begged Fu Guogong to take Xu Youran with him, after all, Xu Youran was the person the head of the family specially named to see, if he couldn't go, he would definitely be kicked out of the Cui family on a charge of spreading unfavorable words.
In desperation, Fu Guogong had to call Xu Youran and go towards the Cui family together, just hoping that the Cui family could calm down, and don't be angry and chop up all their grandparents and grandchildren to feed the dogs.
Xu Youran didn't expect that her medicine would really have an accident, because after she went back yesterday, she actually took out another medicine from the box, so she fed it to the puppy in the backyard, and the puppy didn't have anything, so this medicine should be non-toxic!
"Grandfather 、、、"
Xu Youran wanted to speak, but was glared back by Fu Guogong, and then Fu Guogong whispered, "You are not allowed to speak, you will honestly follow me after you arrive at Cui's house today, no matter what I do, I will carry it!"
"But、、Grandfather、、、"
"There's nothing to do, you give me an obedient word, if they really make a move today, I'll stop it, you just go by yourself!" Fu Guogong said in a low voice.
It would be nice if the prince was in the capital!
Fu Guogong thought in his heart, it's a pity that the prince left Beijing a few days ago, otherwise he could invite the prince back today, so that he could still ensure leisurely peace.
"Grandfather 、、、"
"Shut up!" reprimanded Fu Guogong.
Xu Youran pursed his mouth after listening to Fu Guogong's words, okay, since my grandfather didn't let me say it, then don't say it!
There was nothing to say all the way, and it didn't take long for Fu Guogong and Xu Youran to take a carriage to Cui's house, and after entering the door, the next person led Fu Guogong and Xu Youran to the main hall, and when they arrived at the main hall, Fu Guogong saw that the room was full of people's scalps, and the management of the Cui family basically all gathered together in the main hall, and Fu Guogong looked around quietly, and then found that Mrs. Cui was not there, so that heart sank even more.
The patriarch of the Cui family sat in the middle, and when he saw the Duke of Fuguo coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "I'm really tired of you, the old prince, in fact, I should have come to the door in person for today's matter, but my mother is now seriously ill and dying, and I really can't get out, so I can only cheekily invite the prince to come here, and please don't be surprised!"
Fu Guogong originally thought that after entering the door, the Cui family would directly ask the teacher for the crime, but he didn't expect the patriarch of the Cui family to be so polite, which made him stunned for a moment. But then I thought that the Cui family was a big family, and the Cui patriarch was originally relatively yin, and he was usually a person who liked to make people stumble while laughing in the court.
"Where, I'm ashamed, my child is so ignorant that he has caused trouble for your house, but this is also my poor upbringing as a grandfather, alas! I'm really ashamed of you!" Fu Guogong apologized with a guilty face.
"Huh?" Patriarch Cui was a bit of a monk because of Fuguo Gong's words, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Alas, this fourth girl in my family is not in good health, and she has been sent to the mountains since she was a child, so she is really ignorant, she was also kind, but she didn't expect to cause such a big disaster, and please look at the child's young age, spare her this experience, I will try my best to make up for her!" Seeing that Patriarch Cui didn't speak, Fu Guogong asked for guilt again.
