Chapter 176: Bastard Child (4)

Hearing Gu Yongsheng say that he was born in May of the seventh year of Hongde, Mrs. Gu smiled: "You said that you were born in May of the seventh year of Hongde, so your mother should be pregnant with you around August of the sixth year of Hongde." ā€

After speaking, Mrs. Gu looked at the fifth uncle and said, "Fifth uncle, did I make a mistake?" ā€

The fifth uncle calculated in his heart, nodded and said, "You are right." ā€

Old Lady Gu leaned back on the bed and said with a sneer: "In July of the sixth year of Hongde, a batch of goods we imported from Jinling capsized. The old man went to Jinling to deal with this matter, and stayed until the beginning of September before returning. ā€

The loss of two ships of goods made them hurt their muscles and bones, so even if it has been more than ten years, Mrs. Gu still remembers it very clearly.

Gu Yongsheng is not stupid, he must know a lot about such a big thing as the capsized ship and sank a shipwright. Therefore, Mrs. Gu will not make up this matter.

Yue Xiaofeng shouted: "You are so bold, you dare to pretend to be a descendant of the Gu family to deceive." Someone came, detained him for me, and took him to the yamen. ā€

Although he has only been an official for seven years, Yue Xiaofeng's anger is full of momentum.

Gu Yongsheng was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "My lord, I am a premature baby, and I was born in more than eight months. ā€

Old Mrs. Gu said with a smile: "The sixth year of Hongde is an eventful autumn. First, the ship that went to Jinling to buy goods capsized, and then the two cars of Shu brocade we bought in Shu were set on fire. The old man returned to Fucheng and stayed only one day before going to Shudi. ā€

Gu Yongsheng said: "Didn't my father stay in Fucheng for one night? My mother must have been pregnant with me that night. ā€

Yue Xiaofeng really felt that Qingshu should not be allowed to stay, look, how could a four-year-old child listen to such vulgar words. But if Old Lady Gu didn't call Qingshu away, he couldn't speak.

Old Lady Gu laughed, and an unnatural color of blood appeared on her face: "That day, the old man took me to more than ten shops. Handed over all the business of Fucheng to me, and set off for Shu the next day. ā€

Gu Yongsheng said to the fifth uncle: "Fifth uncle, she lied. Fifth uncle, she deliberately made up this lie in order to prevent me from recognizing my ancestors and returning to my ancestors. Uncle, you have to call the shots for me. ā€

The fifth uncle was actually a little hesitant and said, "Tang, you see that he looks so similar to Brother Ning, if it weren't for father and son, he might look so similar?" ā€

Yue Xiaofeng said: "There are many people in the world who look alike, it is difficult to grow up to look like the son of Old Lady Gu." In that case, wouldn't the old lady's sons be too numerous to count? ā€

The fifth uncle was so choked that he couldn't speak.

Master Wan felt that this was easy to do, and said, "Didn't he say that he has lived in Lion Street since he was a child? Yue Xiancheng, let's send two catchers to check it out quickly. ā€

Gu Yongsheng was not afraid at all, and said, "You go to check, go check immediately." After checking and proving my innocence, I will be able to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors. ā€

The big butler, who had been silent, said: "No need to check, this person is a liar." Yue Xiancheng and Wan Zhushu, you will arrest him now. ā€

Not to mention Yue Xiaofeng and Master Wan, even Old Lady Gu and Fifth Uncle couldn't help but look at the big housekeeper.

Yue Xiaofeng asked a little strangely, "Why are you so sure that he is not Old Lady Gu's son?" ā€

Lao Kong said: "Twenty-three years ago, the old lady transported a batch of goods to the capital. On the way, he ran into a water bandit, and the old lady was seriously injured that time. Although he was able to save his life, the doctor said that he could never have any more children. ā€

Gu Yongsheng screamed: "Impossible, you are lying. You are in the same group as her, and you don't want me to recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors. ā€

Lao Kong said to Yue Xiaofeng and Master Wan: "This matter is not only me, but also Shopkeeper Luo, Zhao De and a few other people who follow him closely. ā€

Old Lady Gu muttered to herself: "I thought he was reluctant to let me take medicine to coax me, it turned out to be true." ā€

In fact, Mrs. Gu was pregnant before giving birth to Gu Xian. It's just that she didn't know that she was pregnant at the time, and she was still running around with Old Lady Gu. As a result, because she was too tired, the child was not saved, and she took five years of conditioning before she became pregnant with Gu Xian.

After giving birth to Gu Xian, she has been taking medicine to condition her body and want to have another son. As a result, when Gu Xian was three years old, Mrs. Gu asked her not to take medicine anymore, saying that he could not have children after he was injured. Mrs. Gu also listened to his advice and did not continue to take medicine.

Gu Yongsheng's face was like earth.

At this time, Yue Xiaofeng and Master Wan no longer had any suspicions, and immediately called their entourage to restrain Gu Yongsheng.

The fifth uncle's face was so red that he was about to drip blood.

Old Mrs. Gu said: "Lord Yue, Lord Wan, I suspect that Gu Laosan and the Yuan family found this liar in order to seize my family property. ā€

Yue Xiaofeng looked at the unnatural flush on Old Lady Gu's face, and he was very worried. Aunt Gu is like this, shouldn't it be a return to the light!

The fifth uncle was shocked, if this was the case, he would be suspicious: "Brother Ning's daughter-in-law, I, I really don't know that it was a liar found by Gu Laosan and the Yuan family." ā€

Old Lady Gu said, "You go back!" ā€

She didn't want to worry about the fifth uncle, not because she was generous, but because the fifth uncle was old, and it would be a trouble to die here if she was stimulated.

The fifth uncle hurried away.

After everyone was gone, Old Lady Gu fainted again. This time, Dr. He took a lot of effort to save the person from the rescue.

After prescribing the medicine, Dr. He didn't leave, but stayed directly in Gu's mansion.

After entering the house, Dr. He shook his head helplessly. In the past, it was very tiring to treat people, but I didn't expect to be even more tired to treat people who pretended to be sick.

Because he didn't worry about others, Qingshu handed over the errand of decoction to Jiao Xing. But that evening, Jiao Xing was burning a fire and suddenly became anxious, she couldn't help but take out half of the firewood from the stove and quickly ran to the thatched house.

A maid saw that no one around touched the medicine bowl and poured the powder in her hand into it.

Xingyu grabbed the girl's hand and asked, "Star fruit, what are you doing?" ā€

The maid said tremblingly: "Sister Xingyu, I think the medicine is too bitter, so I put a little powder in it." Sister Xingyu, please don't tell the old lady. ā€

The devils don't believe this.

Xingyu was so angry that her face turned blue: "Star fruit, how good the old lady is to us, you actually want to harm her." Star fruit, have you let the dog eat it in your conscience? ā€

Two rough women came over and escorted her into the house.

Qing Shu was a little surprised to see the star fruit that was brought in. Carambola did not serve the old lady Gu closely, her main duty was to take care of the flowers and birds in the main courtyard. She really didn't expect it to be her who was bought.

Carambola knelt on the ground and said, "Old lady, I—I'm just putting some powder in it." Old lady, I don't dare to harm you if I have the courage to do so. ā€

Old Lady Gu didn't speak, just leaned against the head of the bed with her eyes closed.

Dr. He came over quickly.

He listened to Xingyu's words, first sniffed the carambola's hand, and then dipped some powder in her hand and put it in his mouth.

Xingyu's face turned blue, and she hurriedly stepped forward to stop it: "Doctor He, this thing is poisonous and can't be licked." ā€

Doctor He waved his hand and said, "This is coriander pollen, which is not poisonous." ā€

Star fruit felt that she was desperate and her face was happy.
