Chapter 354: Whipping and Punishment
The third aunt died, and on the second day, Mo Zhiyan was also released from the dungeon by Gu Chengen before Mo Dongsheng entered the palace to ask the old emperor for an explanation.
Although she did not suffer the punishment of "grooming" like the third aunt before her death, but in the end, she was a delicate and expensive daughter, who was held in the palm of Mo Dongsheng's palm for many years, and Mo Zhiyan was whipped and tortured, which was already a big crime.
Of course, the Prime Minister's Mansion is no longer a place for her.
Moreover, her heart has also been shattered by Gu Chengen.
Therefore, for the last vestige of her dignity that remained, she supported her bruised body, insisted on asking the mustache to find a carriage, and resolutely returned to the Mo family despite Gu Huai's dissuasion.
Since the third aunt's personal maid had also confirmed that the eldest lady was indeed killed by the third aunt, Gu Huai did not regret the third aunt's death after learning the truth.
On the contrary, he was still somewhat happy.
First, the eldest lady has been crazy so far, which is simply a burden.
The third aunt killed the eldest lady because she wanted to be on the throne, which indirectly solved a problem for herself.
Second, the person was killed by the third aunt, and Mo Zhiyan is not the murderer.
Is it that the relationship between the Mo family and the Gu family is still salvageable?
However, Gu Huai also understands Mo Dongsheng's temper very well.
Since Mo Dongsheng insisted on breaking with the Gu family, he would never forgive Gu Chengen and the Gu family just because the truth was revealed.
It's just that tearing the face is tearing the face, but in the end it is not to the point where water and fire are incompatible.
Gu Huai thought, wait for Mo Dongsheng's anger to subside, and then talk to him after a while.
Even if the Mo family no longer allied with the Gu family, it couldn't make him an enemy.
Of course, early in the morning, when Gu Nian got the news, he rode back and forth from the palace like crazy.
When he arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he abandoned his horse and stumbled all the way, not even knowing when the headband on his head had fallen off.
The third aunt has changed into clean clothes, otherwise a bloody dress will definitely scare a normal person to death.
At this time, she was lying quietly on the bed, covered by a white cloth, and from a distance, there was an indescribable sense of horror.
Probably, there were so many injuries on her body that there was still a faint smell of blood in the air.
"Mother!" Like a gust of wind, Gu Nianshi rushed into the house with scarlet eyes.
In the house, Gu Huai and Gu Chengen sat at the table, Qi Die stood behind Gu Chengen, and two or three little maids knelt beside the third aunt's bed and waited.
When he returned, he was like an arrow.
However, when he really came to the third aunt, he didn't dare to step forward.
His legs were as heavy as lead, and he moved towards the bed at a very slow pace, little by little.
Although the third aunt is to blame, this matter has nothing to do with Gu Nianshi.
Looking at Gu Nianshi's painful expression, he stood up, and couldn't bear to say, "Nian Shi ......"
Before the hand he had just stretched out touched Gu Nian, he was pushed away by Gu Nianshi.
With a hatred in his calm eyes, Gu Nianshi stared at Gu Huai faintly for a moment before continuing to walk forward.
With tears in her eyes, Gu Nianshi's trembling hand seemed to use all her strength to slowly lift the cloth on the third aunt's face.
Fortunately, the third aunt's face was not injured.
The remains are neat, and the maid has powdered her, which at first glance looks white and red.
It's just that the red one is not natural.
With a "poof", he knelt on the ground with his knees straight and cried bitterly: "Mother! ”
"Mother, why don't you wait for your son!"
"Mother...... You've suffered......"
At that time, the messenger only told him that the third aunt was dead, but how did she die, and even though he asked several times, he always kept silent.
I was really anxious, so I took a sword and asked the result halfway.
In the early years, the eldest lady was not crazy, Gu Nianshi did not enter the palace as an official, and was obsessed with calligraphy and painting all day long, and a group of like-minded friends chanted poetry.
When the third aunt didn't dare to be arrogant to the point of showing off her might, she occasionally gossiped behind her back.
In short, although Gu Nianshi and the third aunt, mother and son, are not valued by Gu Huai, at least food and clothing are not a problem, and there is no worry about their lives.
Now, Gu Nianshi has become an official, and the third aunt is also a mother and a son.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the third aunt died tragically......
Gu Nianshi never thought that the torture of the criminal department, which he had only heard of before, would one day be used by Gu Chengen on his mother.
Gu Chengen took a sip of tea, looked at Gu Nianshi's painful appearance, and said unhurriedly: "Second brother, the third aunt killed my mother." ”
"I know you're sad, but it's an indisputable fact."
"You, mourn and change."
The tone is light, telling an objective fact that makes Gu Nian believe in it, and he is comforting with "peace of mind".
It's like, one life is worth one life, and the grievances and grievances between their brothers are over.
The green tendons on the fist that Gu Nian clenched burst out, he pulled his lips, and the tears on his face fell into his mouth, salty and bitter.
The stiff body didn't move at all, Gu Chengen, Gu Huai and the others couldn't see his expression clearly from behind, and only heard him whisper for a while: "Father, I want to be alone with my mother for a while." ”
This means that all the idle people in the house should go out.
Gu Chengen was extremely sad when he saw Gu Nianshi just when he entered the door, but now he suppressed his emotions, and his eyes looked at him a little more probing.
Holding Qi Die's hand, several people left the room.
When the door of the room behind him closed, Gu Nianshi's suppressed cry finally let go.
The sound, like a cuckoo crying blood, made the maid guarding the door can't help but shed tears when she listens to it.
No matter how badly the third aunt treated the maids before, the heart for the third aunt when she thought about it was touching.
In the palace, the old emperor was greatly relieved to learn that the murderer was lagging behind.
Originally, he asked Father-in-law Jia to find out what happened to him.
Regardless of whether the murderer is Mo Zhiyan or not, the charges are randomly placed on others.
But to the old emperor's surprise, the murderer was the third aunt, which also freed the old emperor from the dilemma.
Mo Zhiyan washed away her grievances, and the Eighth Emperor made peace with it, so the old emperor adopted the suggestion of the Eighth Prince and gave Mo Zhiyan and Gu Chengen a decree of peace and separation, and since then marriage has nothing to do with each other.
In this way, it can be regarded as the end of this "bad fate".
On the second day, the third aunt went out of the funeral.
Gu Nianshi did not go to bid farewell to the third aunt, but stayed in the third aunt's room for two days and two nights.
After that, he took the things that his third aunt could leave for him to do during her lifetime and lived in the palace.
Qi Die successfully completed the task, and Chen Zexuan was very satisfied with it.
As for Gu Jinli, under the instruction of the man in black, he planned to go to the palace in the afternoon, and by the way, he would exchange his identity with Ling Chu back.
