The people from the palace were invited to the main hall in the front yard, and the maidservants retreated to the door after serving tea, and Gu Yuan and Mao hurried over.

When he arrived at the door of the hall, he saw several people standing outside the door wearing the clothes of the palace guards, Gu Yuan was already so frightened that he shrunk his neck, and said uneasily: "Why are you still here?" ”

After all, the Mao family was a little knowledgeable, and he recognized that it was the palace guard, and his face was even more ugly: "How could it be, could it be that the transaction went wrong." ”

She is not stupid, she knows that she and Gu Yuan are just grass people, without official positions and positions, and they can't go to the usual palace banquets, so how can they have anything to do with the palace, only that one spice deal.

She swallowed her saliva, plucked up her courage, and grabbed Gu Yuan, who had taken a few steps back: "Let's go, let's go see what's going on first, our spices have already been sent to the palace." ”

That's the spice I bought from Hu Shang, wasn't it good the previous time, how could there be anything wrong with it this time, the spice they also asked someone to take a look, it was indeed Annan Quiro incense.

Entering the main hall, the middle-aged eunuch was sitting on the couch, and he didn't move the tea and soup offered by the maidservant, and it was still on the desk, looking cold and solemn, not at all as cordial and respectful as when there were rewards and edicts in the palace in the past.

Mao forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, stepped forward and bent his knees with the eunuch with a smile on his face: "I have worked hard for my father-in-law, I don't know what happened?" ”

The middle-aged eunuch looked at the cowering Gu Yuan and the restless Mao, stood up from the couch, his expression was not at all relaxed, and said coldly: "But Gu Erlang and the second lady? ”

Gu Yuan nodded timidly, and stammered a little: "Is there something wrong?" ”

The eunuch sneered: "Let's ask the two of you to go to the state capital with me, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape the crime of fake and false fraud, but I can't imagine that someone is so bold that he even dares to deceive in the palace, and he still wants to send those fake spices to the palace!" ”

Fake spices?! Mao's body shook, and he helped the maid to stabilize, but he said in a hurry: "Father-in-law, the spices in our shop are all purchased from Hu Shang, and they are all good ......."

Before she finished speaking, the eunuch said coldly: "I have already seen the division of the Shanggong Bureau, and those are not Annan Quiluo incense, but Quiluo wood." ”

Queromu? And what is it? Mao looked at the eunuch in complete ignorance.

The eunuch was impatient to talk to her more, and after a call, the guards who were waiting outside immediately came in, and the long knives at their waists stood majestically in front of Gu Yuan and his wife.

"Then I'm sorry, please go to the state capital for a while, explain this matter clearly, and the old slave can go back and talk back."

The eunuch smiled coldly, flicked his sleeves and walked outside the hall, and the guards couldn't help but step forward and forced Gu Yuan and the Mao couple to walk outside.

Mao never thought that this would be the case, he was so frightened that his legs were weak for a while, and he was about to cry when he pulled Gu Yuan, but Gu Yuan knocked her hand off, and shouted first: "Father-in-law, the matter of the spice has nothing to do with me, it's all her, and this stupid woman bought it back on her own initiative, and it has nothing to do with me......"

Mao's originally frightened cry choked, and he watched Gu Yuan push everything clean with a wooden face, the evil breath was like a fish in his throat, anger and sadness were intertwined, and he couldn't help but pounce and tear him up after all: "You scumbag, you actually pushed everything on my head, don't think about it, it's you, it's you, it's you who went to Bao Dalang to buy these spices, it's all you......"

Gu Yuanlai was afraid of Mao's, but he was so scared this time, he actually got bold, pushed Mao's away, and muttered: "If you hadn't said that you would have done a few more deals, how would I have bought these spices and come back......"

The eunuch looked at Gu Yuan and his wife who were scuffling in one place, and couldn't help but take a few steps back in surprise, he has seen a lot of people from your mansion in Chang'an City, but he has never seen such a reckless face fighting in public He has really never seen it, it is really eye-opening.

After watching it for a while, he became impatient, waved his hand and asked the guards to pull them away, and drove them out of the house. He didn't care who bought it and who sold it, but he was ordered by the province of the palace to find out about it, after all, not everyone has the courage to defraud the money in the palace.

When the news was delivered to Songshou Temple, Gu Mingyue was talking in the room with Old Madam Gu.

Since the Duanyang banquet in Tsinghua Garden, she has been going to Mrs. Gu's room every day, accompanying the old lady to eat, or talking with the old lady, although she is still sick, she looks a lot haggard, but she doesn't say a word of embarrassment, but teaches Mrs. Gu to look even more distressed, and she feels more and more aggrieved that Gu Mingyue is wronged.

At this time, Old Madam Gu was holding Gu Mingyue's hand and said to her, "...... You are a smart person, you know my hard work, your aunt is useless now, something like that happened to your mother's family, and it was your father's soft-hearted decision that he didn't send her back to the Luo family, but the reputation of our house will inevitably be tired. ”

"You have to have a big career in the future, if you still want to succeed, you have to break with her, don't learn from Yueniang who doesn't know life and death, and dare to go to the side hospital every day, and it is difficult to negotiate with a good family if you continue like this."

Old Madam Gu sighed again and again, patted Gu Mingyue's hand, and said meaningfully: "Speaking of which, your aunt herself is also confused, both of you should persuade her, now that she has reached this point, she can't patronize herself, if she still has a little filial piety and love, she should know what to do." ”

"If she ends up at this time, others can still say that she cherishes her reputation, does not want to be dragged down by her mother's family, is a strong one, and I will tell your father a good family affair in a while, and it won't be long before this matter will pass, and everything will be calm."

Old Madam Gu's words were very calm, just like chatting in the past, but Gu Mingyue shrank for a moment, and looked up at Old Madam Gu with some trepidation, but only to see Old Madam Gu's eyes sinking on her, and she couldn't help lowering her head again.

At this moment, there was a panicked footstep outside the door, and Mama Deng hurriedly came in, her face was shocked and afraid: "Old lady, it's not good, it's not good......

"What's going on here, is the sky falling?" Old Madam Gu was about to talk to Gu Mingyue about Luo's affairs, and when she looked at Mama Deng's panicked appearance, she was suddenly annoyed, "I've been flustered like a footless shrimp all day long, and I'm not at all steady." ”

Mama Deng lowered her head when she was reprimanded, but her tone was still anxious: "Many people came to the palace and took Erlangjun and the second lady, saying that they were going to be sent to the state capital to be detained. ”

The tea pot in Mrs. Gu's hand fell to the ground, and she looked at Mama Deng: "What did you say?" How could someone send them to the state capital in the dungeon? What's going on? ”

Mama Deng cried with a sad face: "I heard from the people who served in the front yard, yes, it was Erlang and the second lady who made a mistake in the spices that they sold into the palace, and those spices were all fake, and now the palace wants to investigate this matter, so it is ......"

Fake! Spices are fake! Old Madam Gu didn't understand anything else, but she just understood a sentence, those spices were fake! Those spices that cost ten thousand dollars to buy are fake!

There's still her 3,000 gold in there! It's actually fake!

Old Madam Gu trembled, wanting to ask Mama Deng to ask again, but before she could open her mouth to make a sound, her body shook and fell crookedly on the couch.
