Everyone had already retreated, leaving only the two people sitting and standing in the hall silently, compared to Fang Cai, it was really quiet at the moment, as if a soft feather fell to the ground, and the sound of subtle smashing and dust could be heard. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, and the occasional lightning and thunder made the atmosphere even more eerie and indescribable. The shower of gravity smashed against the lattice window and fell down the gap into the house, leaving a small puddle of water.

"Have you been to see your eldest brother? ”

Gu Zhengde's calm voice sounded, Gu Jingzhao's hand moved slightly, and then he raised his head and said solemnly: "I've been there a few times." ”

"How. ”

Gu Jingzhao couldn't hear anything in his voiceless voice, so he had to hide the strangeness in his heart, and said with some sadness: "Big brother's spirit is still not good. ”

After so many years, the only thing that can make him uneasy in the house is his father in front of him. I don't know if it's because of the momentum of not being angry and arrogant, or because of the habit since childhood, even if he is now old enough to stand up, marry a wife and have children, he doesn't seem to have changed.

Sometimes he feels that his father and them are more like superiors and subordinates than father and son, but there is always something more to the eldest brother.

Gu Zhengde in front of him said "um", and then his tone eased a lot as if he was reminiscing.

"As the eldest brother, Zisheng has been very fond of you younger brothers since he was a child, and if there are any good things, he always follows you first, and he is not as good as you, even my father. ”

Gu Jingzhao's brows frowned almost imperceptibly, and then his eyes were gloomy, and his tone gradually became sad, as if he was nervous about his brother, and he clenched his hand tightly and said helplessly: "What my father said is that it's just that the eldest brother is now worried and sad because of the matter of his sister-in-law and Brother Yu, which is really sad, but there is nothing he can do about us as younger brothers, so he can only be—"

Speaking of this, it seemed to be extremely sad, and the man standing in the hall was actually red in his eyes, and gradually burst into tears, because of the choking in his throat, he finally pressed back the following words, which made people feel uncomfortable when they heard it.

Gu Zhengde moved almost imperceptibly when he heard the voice, and then slowly raised his eyes in a little twilight, and looked at his son calmly and kindly, at this moment, he was no longer a shrewd and old pavilion elder in the court, but just a somewhat lost, or rather, a disappointed father.

"It's sad. ”

Gu Zhengde's voice was extremely desolate in the empty hall, and it was faintly mixed with a little weakness, and Gu Jingzhao's lowered eyes paused slightly, and then he raised his head, and his always calm face was a little nervous, and at this moment he said eagerly to Gu Zhengde's gaze: "Father, it is better to recruit famous doctors with a lot of money, there are many capable people in the world, and you will be able to find God to heal your eldest brother, sister-in-law and Brother Yu, let your son do it." ”

Speaking of which, Gu Jingzhao under the seat almost couldn't wait to hold on to the armrest to leave his seat, so nervous and impatient, where was he as steady as usual, as if he was really just a younger brother who was worried about his brother.

"Hengchen—"

Gu Zhengde's voice on the seat was calm and slow, which made Gu Jingzhao's hands cool slightly, and then he could hear Gu Zhengde's flat words from above.

"Sometimes the heart is sick, and the divine doctor can't cure it, and the only one who can cure it is yourself. ”

The moment the words landed, Gu Jingzhao's heart was shocked, and the feeling of uneasiness became stronger and stronger, and then he held his hands harder and harder, but he was hidden in his sleeves so that people couldn't see it.

This sentence seems to be plain, but he inexplicably hears a lot of deep meaning.

Did the father already know something?

Thinking of this, Gu Jingzhao immediately interrupted this thought.

No, my father would never find out. He has never interfered, and everything in the big house now has nothing to do with him.

Even if his father really noticed something unusual, it was the Yu family's doing, he didn't do anything, everything was just a dispute in the back house!

Now his career is getting brighter and brighter, and he must not make any mistakes, never!

Gu Jingzhao under the seat was extremely calm, so that people couldn't see anything unusual at all, but all this was different in Gu Zhengde's eyes.

After entering the court and the cabinet for so many years, how could he not see the changes in this son's eyes that had just flashed.

The second son in front of him is indeed capable and has the means, but he has taken the wrong path.

"Squeak-"

The door was gently pushed open, making a long and dull sound, and Gu Zhengde closed his eyes slightly imperceptibly.

Chances, there will be no more.

"What's the matter. ”

Fang An, who pushed the door, couldn't help but pause when he heard Gu Zhengde's sudden voice, and then glanced at Gu Jingzhao who was standing on the side, and then quickly lowered his eyes respectfully and said, "There is a mother-in-law from the flower room outside, and she said--The fifth master has been poisoned." ”

These words were almost like a sinking stone being smashed into deep water, making a dull and depressing sound, causing Gu Jingzhao's pupils to shrink suddenly, and his body couldn't help but feel a little colder.

Gu Zhengde glanced at Gu Jingzhao lightly, but he was quite calm.

"Call in. ”

Fang An hurriedly went out, but the moment he walked out of the door, he heard Gu Zhengde add behind him.

"Let Madame and Ah Jiu come too. ”

Fang An was slightly stunned, and then walked out as if he was in a hurry.

There was a terrible silence in the room, and Gu Zhengde on the seat stopped talking, and sat there with his eyes closed as if he was settled, making Gu Jingzhao feel that a dark cloud was gradually enveloping him.

Until the small voice sounded again, Mrs. Fu and Gu Yanling walked in one after another, different from the scene where Fang just slapped Gu Yanling, the girl was still so calm and calm, but the expression of Mrs. Fu walking in front was much more complicated.

Anger, shame, embarrassment......

There are too many to tell.

"Sit down. ”

As soon as Gu Zhengde's words came out, Mrs. Fu and Gu Yanling sat in the first two rows of their left hands. The girl didn't squint, but Mrs. Fu's eyes were a lot chaotic and tangled.

Gu Zhengde's eyes were slightly hesitant, sometimes he felt that Fu Shi was going back more and more.

The sound that followed made him hide his hesitation and look away.

A trembling mother-in-law was brought in by Fang An, about forty years old, when she passed in front of the elegant and dignified girl, she was almost instinctively shocked, and pinched her palms with some fear, and the girl's calm and dignified words gradually floated in her ears.

"If you are willing to make meritorious service and confess your guilt, I will sell you a favor, but if you don't want to, I will personally uncover these things, then you will have no credit at all, and then don't say what will happen to you, according to the debt ticket I am holding now, it is to ask someone to abolish his legs first, and no one can put anything to beak. After all, it is only natural to repay debts, I have collected other people's accounts now, and your son's biggest creditor is only me, and most smart people are unwilling to do things that outweigh the losses......"

Gu Zhengde glanced at the mother-in-law under his eyes lightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Say it." ”

The sudden voice made the woman's body tremble, and immediately a spirited knelt down, trembling and said: "The old lady spares her life, the slave maid, the slave maid let the lard blind her heart, so she listened to the instructions of others and poisoned the fifth master, begging the old lady to spare her life, begging the old lady to spare her life——"

Speaking of this, the mother-in-law couldn't help crying bitterly, and kowtowed vigorously, but a trace of unhappiness flashed in Gu Zhengde's eyes, and there was a little more pressure in his words.

"Make it clear. ”

"Yes, yes, the slave said, the slave said—"

The woman was so frightened that she nodded again and again, and accidentally looked at Gu Zhengde's dark face, and immediately lowered her head and shook like chaff and said: " The fifth master likes orchids, the old lady asked our flower room to send a new phalaenopsis orchid, because of the fear of being checked out, so the flower was originally no problem, but the back of the flower room sent to the cultivation of flowers, the slave maid mixed with Guanyin drunk, this poison volatilizes with the smell, long-term contact will accumulate in the body, but this toxicity is not strong, so others are not easy to poison the hair to produce abnormalities, but if it is a weak child, it is very easy to stand it, this flower has been placed in the bedroom of the fifth master for a long time, once poisoned, it will produce hallucinations, cause confusion, and will make children have a high fever until(Note: The scientific name is sleepwalking.) In addition, the poison of "Guanyin drunk" is purely apocryphal, please ignore it. ）

At this point, the woman didn't dare to say any more, she hung her head tremblingly, her face was pale and panicked, but these words caused Mrs. Fu's chest to rise and fall extremely angrily, almost holding the placket of her clothes with her hands, unable to speak.

"Who instructed it? ”

Gu Zhengde's words were plain, but Gu Jingzhao, who was sitting down, was getting heavier and heavier, and he knew it very well.

Yu's can't be saved.

"Yes, yes—"

The mother-in-law looked at Gu Jingzhao on the side tremblingly, trembling and not daring to speak, the angry old lady Fu smashed the bracelet in her hand on her face, and pointed angrily: "Don't tell me yet!"

The force was extremely heavy, and the bracelet made a great sound on the face, causing the woman to scream, and then the bracelet fell to the ground and smashed it hard, and the woman didn't care about the pain, and immediately kowtowed, panicking, and said: "It's the second wife, it's the second wife who instructed the slave and maid—"

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Fu leaned her back to the past, and almost vomited a liter of blood out of breath, so that her face turned white, and she fell back to her seat suddenly, almost unable to get up in one breath, but fortunately a pair of hands supported her in time, otherwise she was afraid that she would even be raised to the ground with a chair.

However, when she saw the girl's quiet and calm side face, and felt the gentle and light force, her face was even hotter.

Just in front of everyone, how hard she slapped her, how hard her face was trampled on at this moment.
