Gu Qingwan asked Gu Xianzhen to send two hidden guards with good martial arts to keep an eye on the old lady's Songhe Hall day and night, just because she was afraid that when she couldn't see it, Xiao Shi and Mama Li would attack the old lady. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

And she asked Gu Xianzhen to design Xu Guogong to stay in the mansion these days, but she calculated that the Xiao family would definitely make moves in the next few days, and measured it so that Xu Guogong could see it right, only in this way did the Xiao family be speechless, and they could solve the matter as soon as possible, just because she was about to leave, there was not too much time spent in the Guogong Mansion at all.

Today, the purple kite came to deliver the pastries, Gu Qingwan knew that she was going to do it, she secretly gestured to the hidden guard, and the hidden guard went to Xu Guogong's courtyard. After the fight, the hidden guard only said a few words.

"Doesn't Grandpa Guo want to know the truth about the serious illness of the old lady of your mansion?"

"Grandpa Guo is not excited, Mama Li is about to do tricks and feet in the old lady's decoction, and now Grandpa Guo is going to Songhe Hall with me, so I can see the scene of the murder. This is the Mansion of the Duke of Xu, and the Grandpa of the Kingdom is strong in martial arts, are you still afraid that I will play some conspiracy? ”

In this way, Xu Guogong quietly followed the hidden guard to the Songhe Hall, and sneaked into the house through the back window of the ear room.

When he came in, Mama Li just walked in from outside, and then Gu Qing left with abdominal pain at night, and Mama Li added ingredients to the decoction.

grabbed the bag on the spot, Xu Guogong appeared, looking at Mama Li with a colorless face, where was there anything he didn't understand? He approached Mama Li with a blue face and resentment, and said, "What did you put in the medicine?" Say! ”

Mama Li trembled like chaff, and tears fell suddenly, and at this point, she had no way to deny it.

It's all over, it's all over!

Mama Li trembled and couldn't speak, Xu Guogong pulled her up and said, "Who made you do this?" Who is it? ”

Mama Li closed her mouth and said nothing, Xu Guogong smiled coldly, and said, "Very good, mother is not kind to you, you actually did such a wolf-hearted thing." The slave and maid who betrayed the master will be killed with the rod of the whole family! ”

Xu Guogong said nothing, and let go of Mama Li, and Mama Li went back limply.

She is the old lady's maid in marriage, when she was a little maid in the past, she once made a mistake and was almost killed by a cane, it was the old lady who said that she was young and unintentional, saved her life, and asked her to go over to serve her.

Later, she became a big girl all the way, and when she got married, the old lady promised her a good family affair, and always treated her gently and generously.

Because she is the old man next to the old lady, even the young girls in the mansion with Xu Guogong respect her for three points.

Mama Li knew that all this was given by the old lady, and she also knew that she was wolf-hearted, she was originally coerced and lured by the Xiao family to slowly embark on the road of no return, and everything was over at the moment, but the guilt and remorse in her heart, shame and self-blame reached the peak, she didn't struggle anymore, slowly knelt up, and said: "It's Madame, everything is instructed by Madame." ”

Mama Li is an old man with a face in the house, and ordinary people can't instruct her not to move at all, so Xu Guogong has already guessed that when he heard Mama Li's words, he still shook his body like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, and took two steps back, which was unbearable.

Mama Li cried and said, "More than a year ago, the slave's son committed a life lawsuit, and his wife helped cover it up. Later, the slave maid found that the lady had a different kind of mind and wanted to tell the old lady about it, but ...... But who knew that the slave maid's evil obstacle actually bullied Zisu again, and Zisu committed suicide, and the old lady was very sad, saying that once it was found out, she would not be spared. The slave and maid knew that if she told the old lady about the evil obstacle again, the old lady would not allow him, and the slave and maid could not help him from making mistakes again and again, no matter how faceless she was. Helplessly, the lady coerced and tempted, and the slave and maid were confused. The slave and maid do not ask the master to bypass the slave and maid's family, but only ask the master to bypass the slave and the maid's newborn grandson. ”

Mama Li slammed her head and kowtowed, and her face was covered with blood in a moment.

Xu Guogong used to fight in the south and the north, and only half a year ago, Daqin was pacified, so he returned to the capital and stayed for a long time, when his mother had fallen ill and the Gu family had already collapsed.

Xu Guogong has the impression that the relationship between his mother and the Xiao family is not bad, and the children in the family are also educated by their mother and daughter-in-law, who are well-behaved and sensible. It is also because Xu Guogong is not at home all the year round that he is especially grateful to Xiao for taking care of the housework for him, honoring his mother and raising his children.

In Xu Guogong's heart, Xiao is a knowledgeable, virtuous and filial woman, even if the old mother is seriously ill and bedridden, the daily decoction is also fed by Xiao spoonful, the old mother is difficult to swallow, Xiao A bowl of medicine is cold and hot, hot and cold, sometimes it takes nearly an hour to feed it, these are all obvious to the maids of Songhetang.

Xu Guogong didn't expect that all this would be fake.

Thinking of this, Xu Guogong was so angry that he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood and took two steps back.

Gu Qing was taken aback when she saw this, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and gave Xu Guogong a lower pulse.

Angry and angry, but it was no big deal, Gu Qingwan helped Xu Guogong, who was obviously a little confused, to sit down, Xu Guogong came back to his senses and said, "Who else knows about Xiao's murder of his mother?" The second girl and the third girl, can the eldest young master and the second young master know? ”

"No, Madame hasn't told a few young masters and girls about this." Mama Li shook her head and said.

Xu Guogong's eyes narrowed slightly, his face was heavy, and he said, "They don't know? I don't know why the second and third girls will follow you to lie and slander your cousin? Say! ”

Mama Li said: "There is no reason for the slaves to cover up for the young masters and girls, they really don't know." The lady instructed the slave maid to mix the old lady's Taihe pill diet with A Furong, the old lady fell ill, and the lady only told the second and third girls that there was no conclusive evidence, and the second and third girls were angry that the cousin had hurt the old lady, so they naturally spoke according to the lady's arrangement. ”

Mama Li wiped the tears on her face, and then said: "The slave first pointed out to the master that it was the cousin girl who added a hibiscus to the Taihe Pill in order to compete for favor, and the Sanqi maid testified that she had seen the cousin secretly crying because the old lady loved the second and third girls many times. After listening to the words of the second and third girls, with Taihe Pill as proof, he would naturally believe that it was the cousin who harmed the old lady. In addition, the cousin had already left Beijing and had no way to defend herself, so the matter was done. ”

In fact, the Xiao family did not have the real evidence that Gu Qingwan harmed the old lady at all, but the three of them became tigers, Xu Yubing cried and said that because the old lady rewarded her with an extra white hosta, Gu Qingwan was unhappy and secretly broke the hairpin. Xu Yuxue said that Gu Qingwan scratched the pomegranate red cloud brocade cloak that the old lady rewarded her......

Such trivial things, his wife and daughters talked a lot, plus Mama Li testified, and there were Taihe pills as evidence, Xu Guogong believed it.

Xu Guogong couldn't imagine that his wife and children could unite with the old lady's henchmen to slander Gu Qingwan, and maybe he also had doubts in his heart, but compared to his niece, he instinctively preferred to believe in his wife and children, after all, if Gu Qingwan was innocent, it meant that his wives and daughters were united to coax him.

And at this moment, such an embarrassing truth was finally revealed, and it was presented naked in front of Xu Guogong.

Not only did his wife and daughter deceive him, but his wife also murdered his mother, and he was charged with ruthlessness and unrighteousness, and he was ashamed of his sister under Jiuquan who fell into the well when his niece was in the most difficult time.

Although Xu Guogong was somewhat relieved to hear that his children were not involved in the murder of his mother, Xu Guogong still seemed to have aged a few years all of a sudden, his back hunched and spread out in the chair, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and said, "Drag it out!" ”

Someone came in and dragged Mama Li away, Gu Qingwan glanced at Xu Guogong, didn't say anything, turned around and walked out of the ear room.

At the same time, in the Zhenguo Mansion, the Duchess of Zhenguo asked about Lou Minning's whereabouts, but the maid replied after inquiring: "The prince inquired about a folk doctor who was good at stroke, and led the doctor to the Xuguo Mansion." ”

When the Duchess of Zhenguo heard this, she immediately angrily swept the pastry plates on the table to the ground, immediately covered her chest, and gasped: "This evil obstacle, his mother has been bedridden for many days, why don't you see him care about the slightest bit and go to the doctor to ask for medicine in person?" That woman has long been a concubine in the palace, but he works for her every day, regardless of gains and losses, I think he is really obsessed! ”

Since the Duchess of Zhenguo listened to the Queen Mother and withdrew from Lou Minning for Lou Minning, the relationship between Lou Minning and her has indeed changed slightly, but the mother and son usually get along politely like strangers.

Duchess Zhenguo's heart is depressed, these days are a little unpleasant, but not bedridden, Duchess Zhenguo also wants Lou Minning to care more, but obviously Lou Minning did not do what she wanted.

On the contrary, since he learned that the old lady of Zhenguo had suffered a stroke and had been bedridden a few days ago, Lou Minning asked around about the famous doctor, and had already taken the doctor to the Xuguo Mansion twice.

Today, I heard that Lou Minning went to the Duke of Xu Guo's Mansion again, and the Duchess of Zhenguo couldn't help but get angry.

Lou Minning took the newly invited doctor to the Guogong Mansion, but was invited to the flower hall to sit down, and waited for an hour, not only did Xu Guogong not show up, but even Xiao did not show up.

The tea has been brewed several times, and the doctor next to him is already impatient and restless. Lou Minning was still calm, and sat quietly.

Finally, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and then I saw the chief steward walking in quickly, raised his hand and apologized again and again, and said: "The prince probably also knows that my lord has injured his foot, and it is not convenient to come out." Madame took the two girls out today, but she was not there, but she made the prince wait a little longer. ”

Lou Minning's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I'm not an outsider, Uncle Wang doesn't have to be so polite." ”

Zhenguo Mansion and Xu Guogong Mansion are world friends, Lou Minning has been in and out of Xu Guogong Mansion since he was a child, and later married Gu Qing in the evening, and he often walked around Xu Guogong's Mansion, and was treated by the old lady and Xu Guogong as his own nephew.

When he said this, Steward Wang also smiled, looked at the doctor next to him, and said: "That's the case, our lord invited Imperial Doctor Liang from the Great Yan Kingdom to come to treat the old lady a few days ago, and now Imperial Doctor Liang is still living in the house, if you bring the doctor next to you to see a doctor, I am afraid that Imperial Doctor Liang will have to think more, after all, Imperial Doctor Liang is not a person from our Great Qin, annoying him, and he will also be involved in the face of General Dayan, so the prince of the world is ......."

Lou Minning heard that he was not going to let the doctor go to see the old lady, his eyes flashed slightly, but he got up and said: "It's that I didn't think about it, so I hope that Imperial Doctor Liang can cure the disease, so I won't bother too much and leave first." ”

Seeing that the doctor boarded the carriage and Lou Minning also rode on horseback, Steward Wang raised his hand to wipe his sweat, turned around and hurriedly ordered the porter to close the door.

Lou Minning glanced back at the closed door and instructed Cheng Modao: "You send Dr. Jiang back." ”

Cheng Mo responded, Lou Minning apologized to Dr. Jiang in the carriage again, and watched Cheng Mo escort the carriage away, before he turned his horse's head and went to the east alley of the Duke of Xu's mansion.

A moment later, he flew off his horse, tiptoe against the high wall, and disappeared into the garden like an invisible breeze.

Lou Minning was very familiar with the Xuguo Mansion, avoided the subordinates and the courtyard, and went straight to the old lady's Songhe Hall.

He only found out that the old lady Xu Guogong was seriously ill more than half a month ago, and he also invited a doctor for the old lady three times these days.

Today is strange, after waiting for an hour, the master did not appear. Xu Guogong and Xiao Shi were obviously in the mansion, but they didn't show up. It's just such a faux pas, and even the doctor who treated the old lady refused, although Steward Wang's argument is still reasonable. But it can't stand scrutiny, Imperial Physician Liang is an outsider who lives in the mansion, as long as he has a heart, how does Imperial Physician Liang know that others have seen the old lady?

Therefore, it is obvious that something big happened to the Duke of Xu's mansion, and this matter is also related to the old lady.

Lou Minning had already heard about Gu Qing's late murder of the old lady, and he didn't believe it at all, which is why he was particularly concerned about the old lady's illness.

Now that he found that something was wrong, of course he wanted to find out.

Lou Minning relied on his familiarity with the Xuguo Mansion, and soon arrived at the Songhe Hall, he found that the Songhe Hall was indeed wrong, and the maids and women seemed to be guarded, and there was no one in the daytime.

Lou Minning jumped into the courtyard, listened intently, and soon caught the cry, his eyes lit up, and he dodged towards the place where the sound came from. Before he got closer, he heard Xu Guogong's deep shouting.

"Xiao, you damn it!"

The hoarse voice was full of resentment and pain, and Lou Minning paused in surprise and furrowed his brows.

In the house, it was probably because Gu Qingwan, a medicine boy, bumped into the scandal of the Guogong Mansion early in the morning, and it was probably because Xu Guogong considered her, a Dayan person, and would soon return to Dayan, and make good arrangements, she should not leak the private affairs of the Guogong Mansion, so Xu Guogong sent back many people, but left Gu Qingwan behind and asked her to help check the package of medicine.

Xiao Shi was brought over, and when she heard that Mama Li was recruiting people, she panicked on her face, and then reacted instantly, pointed at Mama Li in disbelief, and said, "Mama Li, why do you want to slander me?!" Sir, I didn't! You believe me, it's really a late night...... Yes! ”

Before Xiao finished speaking, he was kicked out by Xu Guogong with a deep anger.

Xiao Shi sat on the ground with his lower abdomen in his hands, and looked at Xu Guogong with tears in his eyes: "Master, the concubine is your wife, and she has given birth to five children for you, but you actually believe the nonsense of a slave, but you don't believe the words of the concubine?" Master, the concubine married you at the age of fourteen, more than 30 years of honor and disgrace, what kind of person the concubine is, doesn't the master know? How could a concubine poison her mother! ”

Xiao Shi looked like he had been hit by a big blow and couldn't bear it, seeing Xu Guogong sitting there, his face was expressionless, his face was numb, and he was not touched at all, Xiao Shi's heart sank and sank.

However, she is sure that she is very cautious in her actions, and she has never let Mama Li catch anything with real evidence, as long as she can bite the bullet that has nothing to do with her, and try to prove her innocence, maybe there is still room for maneuver.

Xiao Shi suddenly laughed miserably when he thought about it, nodded and said with tears in his eyes: "Okay, okay, I don't believe me, what am I still alive for!" I'm cleared by death! ”

As she spoke, she suddenly slammed into the vermilion pillar next to her.

Xiao thought that Xu Guogong would definitely stop her, but Xu Guogong looked at her and showed an ugly smile, Xiao didn't know whether it was too late to retract the momentum, or if he was really ruthless enough to himself, and slammed into the pillar.

Her face suddenly snaked down with blood marks, her body fell to the ground, her impact was indeed not light, she bit her tongue with all her strength to not faint directly, but she didn't really want to die, or left some strength, so she didn't die headlong.

She propped up her body, endured nausea, dragged the bloodstains, and crawled towards Xu Guogong little by little, saying, "Master, the concubine is wronged...... In vain, the concubine body...... There is no ......"

She easily climbed in front of Xu Guogong and grabbed the hem of Xu Guogong's clothes, Xu Guogong looked down at Xiao Shi, who was covered with blood on his face but was still acting, and finally opened his mouth with red eyes, and a hoarse and dry voice slowly came out.

"Xiao, you don't know yet. Mother, she can speak, Mama Li slanders you, is your mother also slandering you? ”

Xiao Shi couldn't believe what he had heard, all the expressions on his face suddenly distorted and cracked, and his eyes widened in horror as he watched Xu Guogong stand up and pull the hem of his clothes out of her hand little by little.

Xiao fell to the ground, like falling into an ice cave.
