Steward Du died, but many people were implicated. The eldest princess was furious, and turned the people and things related to Steward Du upside down overnight. As soon as it was dawn, Gonggong Tao came to Gu's mansion and conducted a second check. The entire Gu Mansion fell into a wailing field, crying even more than when Gu Hou just died. As for those who don't cry, they are killed. There is nothing more shocking than watching the people around you being beaten to death.

Bai Yunjian was called into the palace by the emperor.

Chu Yueli asked the eldest princess to resign, saying that she would go home to fulfill her filial piety. The eldest princess nodded in agreement, and Chu Yueli could finally go home justifiably. When she came empty-handed, she also had a breeze on her sleeves when she left, but she was also casual and natural.

Brother Gu Xi was very reluctant, and pulled Chu Yueli to talk for a long time, and then reluctantly sent people out.

In the pavilion, Gonggong Tao sat on a rocking chair, eating ice grapes while listening to the results of his subordinates' interrogation. At a glance, he saw Chu Yueli and Gu Xige walking slowly from the green willows, so he flicked a grape and attacked Chu Yueli.

Chu Yueli felt that something was attacking her, and she was about to hide, but she remembered the casual glance just now, and knew that Gonggong Tao was in the direction where the hidden weapon was coming, so she pretended to be casual and took a cold grape on her forehead.

Brother Gu Xi exclaimed: "Ah! Wipe it off! Who hates it so much, how can you beat people with grapes?! As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief and helped Chu Yueli wipe his face.

Chu Yueli looked at Father-in-law Tao and said, "Isn't Father-in-law too idle?" ”

Brother Gu Xi looked back at Gonggong Tao and shrunk his neck. Obviously, she was still quite afraid of him.

Gonggong Tao hooked his finger at Chu Yueli and said, "Miss Chu is here to talk to the miscellaneous family." ”

Chu Yueli wanted to go over, but was pulled by Gu Xige. Chu Yueli squeezed Brother Gu Xi's hand and said in a low voice, "It's okay, you can go back first." ”

Brother Gu Xi hesitated slightly, but he still nodded and left with the support of the big girl.

Chu Yueli walked up to Father-in-law Tao and asked, "Does Father-in-law want to invite me to eat grapes?" ”

Gonggong Tao smiled: "Yes." Miscellaneous grapes, only Miss Chu deserves to eat a few. ”

As soon as Chu Yueli stretched out her hand, she tore off a grape grain from the grape bunch, leaned on the railing, and ate it. At this time, it is really a pleasure to be able to eat chilled grapes.

Tao Gong said fairly: "After Miss Chu read the written confession, she was able to peel back the cocoon and find the real cause of Gu Hou's death, which really made the miscellaneous family look at it differently. ”

Chu Yueli pinched off the skin, spit out the seeds, swallowed the ice grape flesh, and said: "I don't understand the profoundness, but I still understand a little bit about the superficial things of the farmer." Moreover, fortunately, Father-in-law Tao asked him to record the written confession in detail, and even how much cassava was bought, how much was used, and how much Gu Hou ate could be remembered clearly. ”

Tao Gong said fairly: "Since you have doubts in your heart, why don't you say it in front of the miscellaneous family?" ”

Chu Yueli replied: "Suspicion is suspicion, or it is better to ask for proof." Otherwise, I will say anything to my father-in-law if I suspect anything, for fear that my father-in-law will be impatient. ”

Gonggong Tao smiled, pinched the grapes, and pointed at the orchid: "You little clever ghost." ”

Chu Yueli shivered not very obviously.

Grandpa Tao sank his face.

Chu Yueli squinted and smiled: "The grapes are too cold!" After a slight pause, "If my father-in-law has nothing else to do, I will go back to the house to be filial to my father." ”

Gonggong Tao looked away, waved his hand, and motioned for her to leave.

Chu Yueli picked up a bunch of grapes and walked away with a smile.

As soon as Gonggong Tao reached out and touched the ice grapes, the plate was empty!

Chu Yueli carried the grapes out of the Gu Mansion, and was about to go to the dart bureau to take a look, but found that someone was following him. She guessed that it was either Gonggong Tao's person or the eldest princess's person. She strolled all the way through the market, only to find that she had three fewer grapes! Chu Yue's glass face did not change, and he took a turn in the market again, and as a result, there were three fewer grapes! Chu Yueli pretended not to know and continued to wander, and just as one hand reached for the grape again, Chu Yueli suddenly made a move, grabbed the hand, and looked at it smoothly.

Relative! No! Correct!

Chu Yueli suddenly felt that she was so fried!

Qi Otherwise's brain was definitely filled with mercury, otherwise how could he secretly follow her and steal her grapes to eat?! Don't you know she's being followed?! Chu Yueli was almost so angry that her liver hurt!

Chu Yueli grabbed Qi Ran's hand, and she was about to make a big move. Qi Otherwise, it was like being greased, and he broke free directly from Chu Yueli's hands. Chu Yueli felt incredible, but she finally understood why Qi would have escaped under the noses of Duobao and Xiaoyi. It turned out that he would do bone reduction. Just now, the moment she grabbed his hand, she obviously felt his hand suddenly become smaller, and then it was withdrawn from her palm, and it was effortless at all.

Chu Yueli's reaction was very fast, and she immediately chased after her, but found that Qi was like a mouse and quickly disappeared from her sight. She went to look at the two men who were following her, and found that they were gone. Chu Yueli chased forward for a while by feeling, and found two corpses in the alley, which were the people who followed her. As for who is the black hand, it is self-evident.

Chu Yueli pressed the green tendons that jumped up with her hand, gritted her teeth and whispered, "Qi is not!" Get the hell out of here! ”

No one answered.

Chu Yueli turned to leave, but heard someone behind him: "I'll come out, can you give me grapes to eat?" ”

Chu Yueli lifted the grapes, turned around, looked at Qi Ran who was lying on the eaves, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”

Qi Ran saw Chu Yueli's smile, turned around and ran, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Chu Yueli touched her face with her hand and wondered: Could it be that you are smiling so badly? Not really.

Chu Yueli quickly left the place of the incident, returned to the Chu Mansion, and gave the remaining half of the bunch of grapes to Duobao and Hongxiao, the two of them were extremely happy, chattering around Chu Yueli.

The sky was getting dark, Lord Chu returned home, his face was strange, he pushed away Aunt Rou who was snuggled into his arms, carried a bag of things, and entered the study alone. In the middle of the night, he instructed the butler to prepare a table of wine and food, boil two bowls of lotus seed soup, and then whisper for a while. The butler looked shocked, but still nodded in response.

After the kitchen prepared the wine and food and lotus seed soup, Lord Chu sent the housekeeper to call Chu Yueli to come over for dinner, and he took out a packet of medicinal powder with trembling hands, opened it, and wanted to pour it all into a bowl of lotus seed soup placed on the second place.

Suddenly, there was a banging sound out of nowhere, which frightened Lord Chu's hand and shook it, and he immediately put away only a small half of the medicinal powder, hid it in his cuffs, and then walked quickly to the door, opened the door, and looked out.

There was no one at the door, and Lord Chu closed the door, but his heart became more and more empty. He steadied himself and put his hand into his cuff again, but when he heard the door being pushed open, Chu Yueli stood with a smile.

Lord Chu immediately withdrew his hand from his cuffs, and in order to hide his unnaturalness, he spoke: "So fast?!" ”

Chu Yueli replied as she walked towards the house: "The father is looking for his daughter to have dinner together, and the daughter is so surprised that she can't wait to borrow eight legs to come." ”
