Chapter Ninety-Nine: There is also a follow-up move
Seeing that the Lu family was exposed, even if he wanted to help her cover up, there was no way, Gu Tianyou stood by indifferently and stopped talking.
The Lu family hurriedly knelt down, pulled Gu Tianyou's clothes, and cried: "Husband, please believe in the concubine body, the concubine body has no point in harming Zhao'er, today it is obvious that Zhao'er is going to frame An'er, how can you believe it with the words of an outsider and a slave!" ”
"Second aunt, in fact, it is not difficult to know the origin of this book, if this book is new, it must have been bought for a short time, and there are not many people who buy this kind of book, and the person who sells the book will definitely remember who bought his book!" Gu Qingwan reminded as if unintentionally.
In fact, what she said was just a casual remark and had no basis, but Lu's face immediately changed, but she asked her to buy the book, if it was identified, it would not confirm her crime.
Gu Qingwan continued: "If you don't want to go to great lengths to find out who bought the book, then drag Ming Chong and Xiao Lu out and beat them, you have to let them tell the truth, what is the truth of the matter, it shouldn't be difficult, right?" ”
Ming Chong and Xiao Lu panicked, Xiao Lu didn't dare to say anything, Ming Chong immediately regretted it, kowtowed and begged: "The slave is wrong, the slave is confused for a while, talking nonsense, in fact, the book is not put into the third young master's book bag by the slave at all, it has nothing to do with the slave, it was the second lady who instructed the slave to make up nonsense to deceive the second master, please ask the old lady to be gracious, the slave is the truth!" ”
When Gu Tianyou heard this, the matter was completely out of his control, he was deceived by the Lu family, and said a lot of hurtful things, if he became a victim of the Lu family again, it would be a slap in the face, and he couldn't afford to lose such a face.
So without waiting for Ming Chong and Xiao Lu to tell the truth, he scolded: "Don't talk nonsense anymore, come on, drag these three minions down and kill them!" ”
Old Madam Gu will not stop it for the sake of taking care of the reputation of the Gu family, but the eldest lady is very dissatisfied, her Zhao'er was framed for no reason, but now she wants to turn the page gently, telling her how willing!
Gu Qingwan opened her mouth and begged: "From beginning to end, Wen Ze has not participated, but he finally told the truth, the second uncle wants him to be punished like the two dog slaves, it's a little unfair, right?" ”
Gu Tianyou glanced at Gu Qingwan in a sneer, in order to appease Gu Qingwan and to block everyone's mouths, he couldn't help but compromise temporarily, so he said: "Although Wen Ze didn't participate, he is also responsible in the end, if he doesn't beat him, he will also be fined three months of silver!" ”
When Wen Ze heard this, he immediately kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you for the kindness of the second master, thank you for the magnanimity of the eldest lady!" ”
Gu Tianyou no longer paid attention to them, and made a look, and several subordinates rushed up and dragged Xiao Lu and Ming Chong out, Ming Chong kept shouting: "Spare your life, second master, second lady, spare your life!" ”
Xiao Lu was silent, and she had no intention of begging for mercy at all, because the lives of her whole family were in the hands of the second lady, she had already reported her mortal heart today.
She glanced at Gu Qingwan with guilt, she had already made up her mind to join Gu Qingwan, but the Lu family found out the clue and sent someone to kidnap her family, she had to betray Gu Qingwan as a last resort.
Gu Qingwan probably guessed the reason why Xiao Lu betrayed her, although she had something unspeakable, but she didn't sympathize with the person who betrayed her, but she also had her own considerations in her heart, so she said: "Second uncle, in two months it will be Wan'er's gift, if you see the blood, I'm afraid it will collide, and please let the second uncle open the net, don't hurt the lives of these two minions!" ”
Gu Tianyou had his own concerns, and he didn't want to agree, but when he thought that Gu Tianyuan had ordered him to help Gu Qingwan with the gift when he was leaving, and he couldn't wronged her, he also agreed to Gu Qingwan's request. Only the two minions were beaten with thirty boards each, and they were gagged and locked in the firewood room.
After dealing with the two minions, Gu Tianyou glared at the Lu clan fiercely and said sharply: "Lu clan, are you guilty?" ”
"Husband, the concubine is really wronged, it's all those two minions who slander the concubine......" Lu refused to admit it.
Gu Tianyou saw that she still dared to quibble, and was about to have a seizure, but when he heard that Steward Luo came in a hurry with Doctor Xia outside, he remembered that Gu Qing'an was poisoned.
Lu's eyes were happy, thinking that he still had this last trick, so he said: "Husband, Doctor Xia is here, let's let him help An'er diagnose and treat it first, An'er is poisoned!" ”
As soon as Gu Tianyou turned around, he saw that Steward Luo had come over with Doctor Xia, so he nodded, he was also worried about how to end this matter, if he was allowed to dispose of the Lu family and Gu Qing'an, he would be reluctant, after all, the Lu family and him have been married for so many years, and the love is there, he will not be ruthless after all.
Doctor Xia hurriedly put down the medicine box, and then checked Gu Qing'an's pulse, Lu Shi looked anxious on the side, and pretended to ask urgently: "Doctor Xia, my son has been poisoned with cassava flour for a long time?" Will it be life-threatening? ”
Doctor Xia was slightly puzzled, looked at Lu, and saw that she gave him a look, so he said, "This ...... You need to take a closer look to find out! ”
Seeing that Doctor Xia understood his words, Lu nodded with satisfaction, and casually glanced back at Gu Qingwan, there seemed to be a provocation in his eyes.
Gu Qingwan replied to her with an indifferent smile, as if she was not afraid at all, Lu couldn't help muttering in her heart, she had suffered too many losses, she was really a little afraid of Gu Qingwan's tricks.
But when she thought that Dr. Xia would help her speak, she felt that there was no loophole, the tapioca flour had indeed been mixed into the corn flour that An'er ate on weekdays, and secretly hid some of the remaining cassava flour in Gu Qingzhao's yard, originally planned to hide it in Gu Qingwan's place, but found that it was difficult to start in her yard now, so she gave up.
The reason why she ordered tapioca flour was also because it was mildly toxic and would not really hurt Gu Qingan, after all, it was her precious son, and she couldn't bear to joke with his health.
When Lu Shi took advantage of Dr. Xia's diagnosis, he hurriedly said to Gu Tianyou: "Husband, if An'er is poisoned, how can you live as a concubine?" Woohoo......"
Doctor Xia was busy for a while, then sighed and said: "The little boy has been poisoned for three months, fortunately, the dose is not heavy every time, otherwise I am afraid that I will fall ill in the future, I will prescribe a few doses of medicine, let the little boy take it on time, it should be no big problem!" ”
"March? Oh my God, husband, you have to be the master of An'er! Lu said with tears in his eyes.
Gu Tianyou was also taken aback, and asked, "Doctor Xia, have you made a clear diagnosis?" ”
"There will be no mistake, how dare the little one deceive the second master, I have been practicing medicine for more than 20 years, and I will never dare to talk nonsense!" Doctor Xia replied with a pretentious manner.
Lu was naturally happy when he heard this, and Doctor Xia looked at Lu's eyes, and knew that he would definitely be indispensable for his benefits later, and he was also very happy in his heart.
Old Madam Gu was also puzzled, looking at Gu Qingwan, as if she was testing something, but Gu Qingwan just looked at her nose and nose, and did not have any expression, so that people couldn't see what she was thinking.
Lu Shi thought for a while, and then exclaimed: "Husband, just now Xiaolu said that the cassava flour was ordered by her, and said that there is a surplus in her room, it is better to let someone search it, if it is true, it must be someone else's order to harm An'er!" ”
A cold light flashed in Gu Tianyou's eyes, and he glanced at Gu Qingwan, and saw that she was just lowering her head, as if she was weak-hearted, so he became even more suspicious.
He instructed Steward Luo: "Hurry up and go to the third young master's small kitchen and bring all the suspicious things!" ”
"Grandma Sun, please go to the courtyard of the second young master and the eldest lady to help me check, is there anything wrong!" Gu Tianyou then said to Mama Sun.
Mama Sun glanced at Old Madam Gu, and when she saw that she also nodded, she took the order and left.
Gu Qingzhao nervously pulled Gu Qingwan's sleeve and asked her with his eyes, he was very worried that the Lu family would frame him, but Gu Qingwan just gave him a reassuring look, and nothing else.
Although Gu Qingzhao was worried, but in the end she chose to believe in her sister, she would definitely not lose to the Lu family, and the crime that was almost confirmed just now was easily resolved by her! So he stood silently aside, waiting for those who had gone to look for evidence to return.
However, as soon as the incense was burned, Steward Luo hurried back, carrying a bag of corn flour in his hand, handed it to Gu Tianyou, and then stopped talking.
After a while, Grandma Sun also returned, with a bag of powder about the same color as corn flour. said to Gu Tianyou: "I didn't find anything in the eldest lady's room, Xiao Lu's room hid a bag of such powder!" ”
Gu Tianyou nodded, and then said to Doctor Xia: "Come and take a look, what are these things!" ”
Doctor Xia knew that as long as he confirmed that this was tapioca flour, he took the corn flour and pretended to smell it, then picked up the small packet of powder and looked at it, and said: "This is tapioca flour, it should be the same as the poison in the little boy!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the Lu family naturally couldn't wait to shout: "Gu Qingzhao, what else do you have to say, the good things you have done, you actually hurt people with Xiao Lu, and I love you as if you were my own son!" ”
Gu Qingzhao shook his head in horror and said, "I didn't, I didn't have ......"
Old Madam Gu also got angry, and said angrily: "Zhao'er, you are so bold, you actually poisoned your younger brother, why are you so ruthless?" Do you want to kill him? ”
"Grandmother, I really don't, you have to believe Zhao'er, how could I harm my brother, I don't even know what cassava flour is!" Gu Qingzhao argued sadly, he didn't expect his grandmother to doubt him.
Gu Tianyou looked at Gu Qingzhao coldly, "What else do you have to say now!" ”
"Father, woo...... You have to be the master for An'er, An'er is so uncomfortable, she can't eat these days, and sometimes she is nauseous, you see, I've lost weight! Seeing this, Gu Qingan also came over to add fuel to the fire, making a sick and weak appearance.
Gu Tianyou, who saw it, was distressed, and hurriedly protected him in his arms and comforted: "An'er, don't worry, my father will definitely make decisions for you, and he will not spare the people who hurt you!" ”
