"This matter has nothing to do with my sister-in-law, sister-in-law doesn't have to be nervous, Tang An is a reasonable person, and I won't blame you. Gu Tingjun stepped forward and gently held Su Ju'an's hand, smiled slightly and said, "It's just that the maid of the sister-in-law's ancestral hall was derelict in her duties, and she really deserves to be punished." ”

After a while, I saw two maids who went to pick up the maids who were on duty to clean the ancestral hall come back and report: "Lord, Yun Xiang died of fear of sin. ”

"Committed suicide?" Su Cheng'an's eyes narrowed slightly, "It's just that I didn't go to the ancestral hall to clean it today, it's not a capital crime, why do you want to commit suicide?"

The guard said: "According to the maid who lives in the same room as Yun Xiang, yesterday Yun Xiang knocked over the shelf that was placed and pulled, and the shelf was broken, but she didn't tell it because she was afraid of being scolded. ”

At this time, the people who went to investigate the shelf also came back and said that the shelf was indeed problematic, and there were traces of fragmentation.

"Yunxiang, this girl ......" Bai Rui frowned, "I see that she is doing things very properly on weekdays, so I left such an important matter as cleaning the ancestral hall to her, I didn't expect that there was such a big mistake, and it also affected my own life, and the more important thing was because of her mistake, which almost caused an accident to Tangerine." As she spoke, she touched her tears.

Gu Tingyao stopped his wife's shoulder and said: "I know that you love this girl on weekdays, but you don't know your face but don't know your heart, no one would have thought that she would be negligent, and it is not unjust to lose her life." ”

Gu Tingjun asked, "Is that Yunxiang really committing suicide?"

The guard replied: "The subordinates personally checked, and it was indeed a suicide, and there was no mistake." ”

"That's weird. Even if Yun Xiang knew that she was almost in trouble, but such a thing would not make her afraid of suicide, our Huainan Mansion is very generous to treat people on weekdays, and the most serious thing is to drive people out of the mansion, and never do anything that costs the lives of people. What's more, since she didn't mean it, she wouldn't have beaten or killed her, why did she commit suicide? Father, the son felt that there must be something strange about this matter, and Yun Xiang might have been killed and killed. ”

"Third brother, then who do you think will kill Yun Xiang and kill her mouth, why do you want to kill her to kill her mouth?" Gu Tingyao asked.

"What does Big Brother think?" Gu Tingjun asked with a slight raised eyebrow.

"How would I know!" Gu Tingyao said amusedly.

"In my guess, the person who killed Yunxiang and extinguished the mouth naturally intended to kill Tangerine, she knew that even if the ancestral hall caught fire, it would not really burn Tangerine, and she had no intention of really burning Tangerine, everything was just a game, a situation where Tangerine just joined the Huainan Royal Mansion and caused our Gu family ancestral hall to catch fire, once there are rumors, then it is like a fire, quickly devouring everything, not only Tangerine will be hurt by this rumor, even I can't stay out of it if I insist on marrying her, in the final analysis, this ultimate goal is just me. Gu Tingjun said lightly.

"Then who are you suspecting?" Gu Tingyao asked with a calm face.

"Whoever is most suspicious, I am naturally suspicious. Gu Tingjun sneered and said.

Bai Rui wiped her tears and asked, "Third Brother won't think that I did all this, right?"

"Da Sou is so virtuous and kind, he would cry for the death of a maid, how could he do something to frame his concubine!" Gu Tingjun said mockingly.

"Gu Tingjun!" Gu Tingyao shouted with a calm face, "Don't think that you can ignore us now that Your Majesty is important, who do you think you are! No matter when we are your eldest brother and sister-in-law, as long as we are still your eldest brother and sister-in-law, you will not be allowed to be so presumptuous!"

"Even if I'm presumptuous, what can you do to me?" Gu Tingjun smiled coldly, "I won't sneer at your wife, you are still so angry, what about my wife, my wife was almost burned to death in the ancestral hall today, shouldn't I be angry?

He looked at Bai Rui and continued: "Sister-in-law, although I came back late with Tang An last night, but you called Yun Xiang to your room last night and thought no one knew? ”

"You...... You're spying on me!" Bai Rui shouted in disbelief.

"Sister-in-law, is this not a self-confession?" Gu Tingjun sneered, "People are watching the sky, don't really think that you don't leak." You are my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and I still have some affection, but I also remind you, don't touch Tangerine, don't touch my wife, something is coming at me, otherwise you won't blame me for being polite!"

"Shut up!" Gu Tingyao scolded, "Yun Xiang is Xiao Rui's maid, what's wrong with calling her to lecture for two sentences? Just because of this matter, you are going to push an accident on Xiao Rui's body? Don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence!"

"You all shut up for this king!" King Huainan put the teacup on the table, "Brothers and bones, quarrel like this, what kind of system! Tingjun, in front of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, you should not be too presumptuous, remember that if there is no evidence, it is disrespectful for you to speak to your brother and sister-in-law like this!"

Su Tang'an walked over to Gu Tingyao and Bai Rui, blessed slightly, and said, "Big brother, sister-in-law, Tingjun impulsively didn't hide it because of Tangerine's matter, and I hope you don't blame it." Tachibana has made amends to you. ”

"It's still my brother and daughter-in-law who are sensible. Gu Tingyao said, "I'm too lazy to bother with him." ”

King Huainan paused and said: "Xiaorui is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Huainan Palace, and since she married into the palace, she has been running the family business, and she has worked hard. It's just that now since you have made a mistake in managing the big and small matters of the Huainan Palace, you are also responsible, and you must not shirk it. ”

"Yes, Father. Bai Ruifu said, "The daughter-in-law knows that she is wrong, and the daughter-in-law will definitely discipline her subordinates strictly, and this kind of thing will not happen again." ”

"Okay, you all go down, since Tachibana is fine today, let's go over like this. King Huainan said, "All four of you should step aside, remember, our Huainan Royal Mansion is the most taboo flesh and blood, and you two brothers must no longer quarrel." ”

"Yes!"

Su Tang'an and the four of them pushed out together.

Gu Tingjun and Gu Tingjun both had cold faces, and no one paid attention to anyone.

There was only a layer of window paper between Su Juan and Bai Rui, and there was no conversation.

After walking a few steps, Gu Tingyao suddenly stopped, looked at Gu Tingjun and sneered: "Third brother, have you been too arrogant lately?

Gu Tingjun smiled contemptuously: "What about arrogance? I know that you are now the person of Xuanyuan Hou, so what? You are not my opponent, never have been." I didn't intend to be the son of this world, but now, I want to fight. I said, bully me, bully my woman, if I don't take revenge, what kind of man is I! But after all, we are still brothers, I still have to kindly remind my eldest brother, don't use Xuanyuan Hou as a backer, it's useless, and I will suffer from it in the future!"

"I know that you are now the person that Your Majesty has taken a fancy to, and you have taken the Ziwei Palace again, but compared to the strength of Xuanyuan Hou, you are too far behind, don't talk too much, lest you feel ashamed when the time comes!" Gu Tingyao said coldly, "Xiaorui, let's go." ”

Bai Rui coldly glanced at Gu Tingjun and Su Juan, and then followed Gu Tingyao away.

Gu Tingjun sighed and said, "It will be the same between our brothers, this Xuanyuan Marquis really hasn't worked hard behind his back!"

"I know you value brotherhood, but it doesn't have to be that way today. Su Juan said.

"It's because I also treat them as big brothers and sisters-in-law, so I didn't continue to pursue today's matter, but just reminded them that if there is a next time, I will definitely not let them go. Gu Tingjun said, "Xuanyuan Hou has always hoped that my eldest brother can find me some trouble behind my back, so that I have no time to take care of him, my father has always hoped that our brothers can be harmonious, but now, it is just self-deception to say harmony, my eldest brother did not do anything excessive before, and I can't find a chance to have a seizure, this time it can be regarded as a showdown with him." ”

Su Tang'an and Gu Tingjun left together, Gu Tingjun had something to go out, Su Tang'an went back to Xiaoxiangyuan first, and as soon as he came in, he saw Zijuan slap the pearl, the pearl was soft and weak on weekdays, and he didn't dare to fight back when he was beaten, and he stood silently covering his face, at a loss.

Zijuan didn't feel relieved when he beat someone, and scolded: "You little hoof, little prostitute! Childe's clothes are also something you can touch, you think I don't know what you want to do! You want to seduce Childe, right? What are you, even if you strip naked and stand in front of Childe, Childe will not look at you more, and he will not pee and take care of himself!"

"Is our pearl really so unbearable?" Su Ju'an said with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "I think our pearls are very good!"

Su Juan walked in front of Pearl, raised his hand and gently touched her face, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Pearl shook her head slightly.

"People are good at being bullied, that's how I teach you on weekdays, when did I tell you to stand obediently and be beaten?" Su Ju'an said coldly.

"Slave maid...... Slave ......" Pearl hung her head and sobbed.

"Call back. Su Juan ordered.

"Miss......"

"Fight back!" Su Juan repeated.

"Young lady!" Zijuan glanced at Su Juan in surprise, and hurriedly knelt down, "The slave maid is the child's person, the young lady, if you want to beat or scold, you have to ask the child's meaning, right?"

"Did you ask me what I mean?" asked Su Tang'an.

Without Gu Tingjun by her side, Zijuan's courage was much greater: "The slave maid is also teaching people for the young lady, this girl is not simple, the slave maid saw her sewing the son's clothes today, so diligent, I am afraid that there are other plans, and the young lady must take more precautions." ”

"Miss, the slave maid didn't, the slave maid never had this thought. Pearl cried, "There are countless slaves and maids, just looking for something to do, I didn't think of seducing my uncle, young lady, you must believe me!"

"If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have brought you to this Xiaoxiang Garden. Su Tang'an said lightly, "Pearl, you get up, forget what I just said, remember, my people are not something that anyone can bully!"

"Yes!" Pearl wiped her tears, got up, bit her lip, and slapped Zijuan in the face.

Zijuan was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "You dare to beat me!" She is the person left by the princess, who doesn't treat her as half a master in this Xiaoxiang Garden, who dares to treat her like this!

"I asked her to beat her, how are you going?" Su Ju'an asked coldly, "Pearl is good at needlework, she is pure and kind, she doesn't know what twists and turns, if you dare to bully her again in the future, you don't have to stay in this Xiaoxiangyuan!

"The slave doesn't dare anymore!" Zijuan said reluctantly.
