The old woman's words were so "serious" that the Queen Mother couldn't find a reason to refute them.

A vague gaze looked at Old Madam Lu.

Old Madam Lu took Gu Jinzhen and sat on the side, listening to the competition of several teams of people without caring about herself.

Frowning dissatisfied, the Queen Mother had no choice but to say: "The eighth brother and sister are right, then let's figure it out at once." ”

Subsequently, the palace maid who poured wine before, the palace maid who sent the county lord of Nishang and his party over, and the palace maid who found that the situation in the side hall was not right all stepped forward to explain what happened one by one.

Then, the palace maids and eunuchs guarding the side hall were also questioned one by one.

The county lord of Nishang had already arranged it carefully, and there was no doubt about the whole process, at least he didn't find any deliberate people and things.

Things seem to have reached a dead end again.

"Eighth brother and sister, what do you think?" The Queen Mother directly pushed the pot to the old woman.

The old woman had long been accustomed to the Queen Mother's attitude of muddying the waters, and said in a high voice: "The side hall is guarded, and outsiders will not come in for no reason." ”

So, the palace maids and eunuchs guarding the side hall are substitutes for the dead ghosts?

"The queen mother, the old princess, the slave and maid (cai) are wronged!"

"Wronged? You are derelict in your duties, where did you come from, is it possible, do you know the real culprit behind the scenes? ”

Otherwise, where is the wrong?

The little palace maid's timid gaze glanced at the lord of Nishang.

"I knew there was a ghost in this!" The sharp-eyed third princess found out that she was tired, and immediately pointed to the little palace maid and said, "What are you doing with the eyes of the county lord?" Say, "Did the lord of the county order you to bring people into the room?" Originally, who was the person the county lord wanted to put in? ”

"San'er, you think too much," the county lord said slowly, "If I really don't abide by women's morals, I won't be in the palace, let alone at this time." Today's autumn banquet, the minister's family will enter the palace, no matter how stupid I am, I know that this kind of thing should be sneaky. As for what you said, I colluded with these palace maids and eunuchs...... The county lord really wants to know, when this kind of thing happens, the county lord is the victim, what do I have to collude with? Do you feel that your reputation is not bad enough, or do you feel that you can cover the sky with one hand? ”

"This kind of thing is only for yourself, what if you are looking for excitement? What if the person you want to tryst with is in the palace? ”

In the palace?

Who can come out of the palace?

In addition to the eunuchs and eunuchs, the third princess is satirizing the lord of Nishang in disguise.

The county lord of Nishang was not annoyed, and he was not provoked by the third princess at all, "What the county lord said is the truth, and as long as someone with a little brain thinks about it, he can understand it." Of course, a brainless person like San'er will only make it up by himself. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Literally."

"Enough, shut up the mourners!" The Queen Mother's words successfully made the-for-tat confrontation between the two juniors die down.

"How do you make a fuss on weekdays, the mourning family doesn't care, today, who dares to talk nonsense to the mourning family here, the mourning family will never spare it!"

The third princess glared at Nishang resentfully.

The Queen Mother looked at Gu Jinzhen in embarrassment, "General Gu, this matter ......"

"Queen Mother, before anything is revealed, others will not jump to conclusions, but this matter is related to the face of the Marquis Mansion of Dingguo and the Marquis of Zhenyuan, the minister does not believe in the county lord, but the minister has not been generous enough to take the county lord back when the truth is not revealed."

"General Gu, what are you talking about? Nishang was framed, she was also bitter in her heart, you are her husband, you should support her and comfort her the most at this time, you are like this, how can she be helped? Is it to force her to death? No matter how sincere the Queen Mother is, she can't hide her desire to whitewash the peace.

Gu Jinzhen immediately smiled, "Queen Mother, the minister just wants to ask one thing, if such a thing happens under normal circumstances, how will it be handled?" ”

How to deal with it?

Regardless of whether the person concerned is framed or to blame, no matter whether the matter has come to light or not, it is still good to be suspended, if it is not done well, it will be directly immersed in the pig cage, or, the crime of adultery will be investigated!

Seeing that the Queen Mother didn't speak, Gu Jinzhen continued: "Queen Mother, the minister's requirements are not high, I just hope to deal with it in the usual way, this matter, since the Queen Mother and the old princess have come forward, the minister will wait for the final result." I just hope that the queen mother and the old princess will not embarrass the minister, the minister is just an ordinary person, with his own seven emotions and six desires, the queen mother and the old princess maintain the county lord, the minister understands, but the minister also wants to be faced, of course, if the queen mother and the old princess think that they can be wronged, the minister has nothing to say. ”

"General Gu's words are serious," the old woman said quietly, "As General Gu said, you are just an ordinary person with your own ideas, so naturally we will not impose our ideas on your head." It's a family misfortune to encounter such a thing, I can understand your feelings, no matter what the final outcome of this matter is, we will follow the rules. ”

The county lord of Nishang chuckled in his heart and looked at Gu Jinzhen in disbelief.

She didn't expect Gu Jinzhen to defend her, but these words really hurt her heart.

She looked at the look on Gu Jinzhen's face carefully, trying to find out the warmth of Wushan Yunyu with her before, but in the end, she was disappointed to find that Gu Jinzhen didn't even have a little disgust and impatience on her face.

Why is there no dislike?

Why not be impatient?

Because it doesn't matter.

Because it's none of my business.

"General, this county lord wants to ask you, where were you before?"

Everyone was surprised that the county lord of Nishang still dared to ask such a thing!

Gu Jinzhen said jokingly: "County Lord, don't worry, no matter how bad I am, I won't do anything to frame you." Since the county lord asked, I replied, I was in the main hall from beginning to end, until I was called by the Queen Mother and came with the Queen Mother. All the people in the hall can testify! ”

So, isn't it Gu Jinzhen?

The heart of the county lord of Nishang suddenly cooled.

"Queen Mother, Eighth Aunt," the third princess couldn't sit still again, "Although the matter has not yet been finalized, it is a fact that Nishang has lost her virtue and virginity, according to the rules, she should be locked up in the family temple, and then she will be distributed after the matter is clear." ”

Sent?

The eldest princess suddenly exploded, "Even if the matter doesn't come to light, Nishang is also a victim, how can she be distributed?" ”

"Auntie, this is your mistake, no matter whether Nishang was framed or voluntary, it is a fact that she lost her morality and virginity, is it possible that General Gu will suffer this dumb loss, so that the Dingguo Marquis Mansion and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion will lose face? Isn't this bullying? No matter how expensive Ni Shang's identity is, she is also the daughter-in-law of General Gu, and she is a member of the Dingguo Marquis Mansion and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. As the saying goes, the water spilled by the married daughter, is it possible that the aunt still cares about Nishang's status in these two families? This is unreasonable. ”

"San'er, my aunt knows that you and Nishang have not dealt with each other since childhood, and now that Nishang has an accident, you can't wait to fall into the well?"

"My aunt wronged San'er for saying this, and San'er just stood on a fair standpoint and said a fair word. Or does it mean that if you have to satisfy your aunt's selfish desires and cover up the dirty things that Ni Shang did, everything will be fine, and your aunt will be satisfied? ”

"I ......"

"Enough!" The old woman reprimanded, "This matter is according to the rules, and Ni Shang is now temporarily living in the Zongren Mansion." ”

The lord of Nishang responded meekly, and when he was about to go out, he glanced at the eldest princess vaguely.

The matter of this side will soon be known to the main hall.

Things are like this, even if the old emperor has the intention to cover it up, he can't do it, instead of letting the people below gossip and speculate, it is better to move out generously, and at the same time, it is also to give Gu Jinzhen a sense of oppression.

"General Gu, no one would want such a thing to happen at the banquet, I will give you a guarantee, this matter will definitely come to light, no matter who dares to frame Nishang like this, dare to openly provoke the Dingguo Marquis Mansion and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, I will not tolerate it." As soon as the old emperor opened his mouth, he characterized this matter as a frame-up, naturally not just to exonerate the lord of Nishang.

Gu Jinzhen said solemnly: "The minister is afraid, this matter can be treated so carefully by the emperor, it is not expected by the minister. Something has happened, and the minister doesn't do fearless struggles, the minister just wants to get to the bottom of the matter. Regardless of whether the county lord was framed or voluntary, there must be an explanation. ”

"General Gu, do you believe the county lord anymore?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister naturally believes in the county lord, if the county lord is framed, then the problem is serious, I don't know whether the people behind the scenes are coming for the minister, or for the county lord. Coming to the ministers, is it for the Shen family's army, or for the dynasty? Either way, the consequences are severe. If it is for the lord of Nishang, maybe it is implicated by the ministers, or it may be for the royal family, is it external worries or internal troubles...... All kinds of speculations, it's not that the minister thinks too much, but that the matter is really serious, so the minister wants to know the truth of the matter more than anyone else. ”

The old emperor was so angry that he blew his beard!

He asked, if Nishang was framed, how would Gu Jinzhen deal with Nishang?

Gu Jinzhen was good, pretending to be stupid and stunned to say so much to him, and he was alarmist, but it was very reasonable.

"I am very pleased that General Gu can think like this, so I often say that among the many courtiers, General Gu is young and promising, has a long-term vision, is a general's talent, and has the broadest mind, if he is ...... dress."

"Panic!" Gu Jinzhen interrupted the old emperor's words in an exaggerated tone, "The minister doesn't want to alarm the emperor because of family matters, and he doesn't want outsiders to see the jokes of the county lord." As the emperor said, the county lord is now on the cusp, and the minister hopes that this matter will be as low-key as possible, so as not to bring more harm to the county lord. Now, this matter has been handed over to the Zongren Mansion, and the minister believes that the Zongren Mansion can make the right decision, and everything is up to the emperor! ”

Calling the shots?

What can he do?

If Gu Jinzhen knew each other, he should have brought Ni Shang back immediately, instead of letting her stay in the Zongren Mansion!

No matter what the truth of the matter is, Nishang entered the Zongren Mansion and came out in a different situation!
