Chapter Twenty-Three: The City is in Turmoil
When Zhiyue heard this, she thought of Gu Yixian's performance by the lake before, and her face also changed: "The person who framed the young lady at the banquet ...... Is it really Miss Watch? β
"Hmm." Zhiqiu nodded.
"It's a ......"
Zhiyue took a deep breath and didn't speak for a long time, for fear that it would be bad to open her mouth.
Cai Yuping usually secretly treats Miss badly and doesn't mention it, but he framed Miss as a murderer at such an important banquet? !
"Next...... What is Miss going to do? Zhiyue asked.
Zhiqiu glanced at her: "Go to bed early today." β
After a pause, Zhiqiu changed his words, with full enthusiasm: "Get up early tomorrow and go to the Marquis of Wuding's mansion!" β
β¦β¦
The second day, morning.
The people of the imperial capital are industrious, and they set up stalls on the streets early in the morning to shout, and the four major markets in the east, west, north and south are crowded with people at this time.
Selling things, buying things, people coming and going, shoulder to shoulder.
East City.
"Something is wrong! Something is wrong! β
At the entrance of the East Market, I don't know who shouted: "A lot of people have just poured out of the Yong'an Hou Mansion, including the Yong'an Hou, and a group of people are going to the Wuding Hou Mansion!" β
Who in the imperial capital doesn't know that four days ago, Gu Qinghuan, the straw bag lady of the Yong'an Hou Mansion, had a quarrel with Chu Xuan, the young lady of the Wuding Hou Mansion, at her banquet, turned her head and secretly pushed Chu Xuan into the water, almost drowning?
This matter is very troublesome, even ordinary people know the details of the banquet, I heard that Gu Qinghuan still wants to quibble, and the trouble can be like being wronged!
However, in the end, the human and material evidence is complete, and the murderer is her!
Many people disdain, what a noble lady, a whole liar!
For four days, Gu Qinghuan and Lu Yan almost killed people, and it became more and more intense!
As the murderer, Gu Qinghuan has been chewed and spit on behind his back, and his reputation is worse than that of rotten salted fish soaked in a stinky ditch for ten days and ten nights!
The Yong'an Hou Mansion, which has always had a good reputation, also suffered, and was scolded a lot.
As the injured party, the Marquis of Wuding is the one who is sympathized with by everyone.
But now, as the murderer's side, the Yong'an Hou Mansion actually looked like he was looking for something and went to the Wuding Hou Mansion? !
"What the hell are you trying to do?"
"It's not going to be a fight, is it?"
"Let's go! Check it out! β
β¦β¦
For a while, most of the crowded East Market was empty, and only some vendors set up stalls looked at each other.
The guests are gone, what can they do?
"I don't know the gate of the Marquis of Wuding's mansion...... Can you set up a stall? The business-minded hawker was ready to move, "There must be a lot of people there now!" β
"Let's go!"
Someone immediately began to pack up his things, "Let's go see the excitement too...... Oh no! Go set up a stall! β
He's just an emotionless money-making peddler, different from the group of ordinary people who are bent on watching the excitement and are not motivated!
But in a quarter of an hour, there was not even a ghost in the East Market, and the vendors who set up stalls also carried their burdens to see the excitement!
The late guest stood in front of the archway of the East Market, looking at the empty street where a gust of wind swept up the fallen leaves, rubbed his eyes, and looked demented-
...... in broad daylight
What the hell?!
What about people!
Where did it go?!
β¦β¦
"Miss, there are a lot of people coming with me outside."
Zhiqiu put down the curtain of the small window and said to Gu Qinghuan: "Is it really good to go to the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion with such fanfare?" β
"Isn't it good?"
Gu Qinghuan handed the teacup in his hand to Zhiyue with a leisurely expression, "What happened four days ago has already been known all over the city, right?" β
In her previous life, she was slandered, and everyone thought that she pushed Chu Xuan into the water.
The ups and downs of this incident even affected the evaluation of her father and brother in the court, and because she was angry with the banquet, what she said to Chu Xuan even caused a stumbling block for the Gu family with a group of military attachΓ©s!
The military attache listened rude, maybe to the court, which one is a fool?
It's all human spirits!
The black hand is more skilled than the other!
A year later, the situation of the Gu family became more and more difficult, the external troubles were unsolved, and there were internal traitors Gu Yiwen and others, who framed their father for disaster relief for corruption, and then the Gu family completely lost power, not only no one helped the Gu family speak, but also a group of people who fell into the well!
Why?
Going back to the roots, this time and the feast accounted for a great deal of weight!
If it weren't for this incident, the Gu family lost the hearts of the people, and offended a group of military attaches in the court, and even civilian officials, and would not have been framed a year later, no one helped them, they were hit tragically, and finally ended up like that!
Therefore, she must fight this turnaround battle beautifully, help the Gu family save its precarious reputation, and calm the anger of Marquis Wuding against her, so as to avoid the group of military attaches in the court from targeting the Gu family again!
"Miss means ......"
Zhiyue took the teacup and thought thoughtfully: "Do you want to make a big deal about self-proof of innocence this time?" β
"That's right."
Gu Qinghuan bowed, "Outsiders are only interested in dirty things, because this can be their talk for a long time, as for whether there is a secret behind those things, they don't care, if I just quietly take someone to the Wuding Marquis Mansion to prove my innocence, even if the matter is over, I, and even the entire Gu Mansion's reputation that has been affected by this incident, will not be able to recover." β
"That's why the young lady specially invited the old lady to put up such a huge team and go to the Marquis of Wuding's mansion together, pretending to be like she was going to come to the door to make trouble?" Know the moon.
Zhiqiu said worriedly: "But isn't the murderer Miss Cousin?" Even if today's incident spreads, will everyone still put the account on our Yong'an Hou Mansion in the end? β
"Well...... this"
Gu Qinghuan smiled meaninglessly, didn't say anything, and changed his words: "My purpose today is to tell everyone that I didn't do anything I shouldn't do." β
"That's right!"
Zhiqiu immediately responded: "The only person who can represent our Miss Yong'an Hou Mansion is you, Miss!" The other Miss Tang and Miss Table are nothing! β
Zhiyue was arranging the teacup next to her, listening to Zhiqiu's words, and couldn't help but smile-
Even though he has been snubbed by Miss for seven years, Zhiqiu is still the same Zhiqiu as the original, and he regards Miss as more important and better than anyone else.
No young lady in the world is as good as a hair of her own young lady.
Soon, the procession of the Marquis of Yong'an Mansion stopped at the gate of the Marquis of Wuding.
The Marquis of Wuding Mansion had already received the news, knowing that Gu Qinghuan had come to the door to make a gambling appointment last night, and today he had come to fulfill it in advance, so he opened the main door, eight feet long, with a beard, and a fierce face The Marquis of Wuding personally welcomed everyone in the Marquis of Yong'an Mansion into the door.
The lively people on the street outside stretched their necks, and saw the Marquis of Yong'an, the little marquis, and other ladies sitting in a sedan chair, carried into the Marquis of Wuding's mansion, and did not show up.
The crowd was disappointed.
"I thought I could see Gu Qinghuan's poisonous woman!"
"I actually hid in a sedan chair and didn't see anyone! It must be a weak heart, afraid of being thrown away! β
"But then again, what kind of trouble is Yong'an Hou going to make? What are you doing with your family? β
The onlookers were talking.
At this time, I don't know who in the crowd shouted, and it was so full of breath that everyone within a radius of 100 meters heard it-
"I have relatives working in the Yong'an Hou Mansion, and I heard that the people from the Yong'an Hou Mansion came to the door this time to prove that the murderer who pushed Miss Chu at the banquet four days ago is someone else!"
