Gu Wanyin looked at the first few stewards with a gloomy face, and slowly opened her mouth: "Is there a problem with our porridge?" "Of the four stewards, the leader was taken to the yamen, and now only three are left to reply here.

The three stewards looked at each other, and after a long time, one of them finally had the courage to say: "We are extremely careful every day, the porridge is only boiled on the same day, how can there be a problem?" ”

"Is it possible that someone else poisoned it?" Gu Wanyin threw out a possible xing, and looked at the three of them with a burning eye, even though it was through the screen, but the three of them all felt the gaze that was like a substance.

At that moment, the three stewards felt a chill in their hearts, and hurriedly shook their heads: "How come?" We have people watching at any time, where can we be poisoned? "Not to mention poisoning, even a fly won't have a chance to fly over.

"In other words, there is no problem with our porridge." Gu Wanyin casually put the tea bowl in her hand on the table, and made a decision with a gloomy face.

The three stewards naturally hurriedly said yes.

But Gu Wanyin slammed the table: "But those people only ate our Zhou family's porridge!" I didn't eat anything on the side! Tell me, this is not our family's problem, what is the problem? "You know, although only one person died, there are still many people who show signs of mild poisoning! Those symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea are the manifestations of poisoning!

It's just that the dead man was poisoned too deeply, so he died. And for others, the poisoning is very shallow, so it's fine!

Now the yamen has decided that there is a problem with the Zhou family's porridge! Someone was sent to the door to take away the utensils for boiling porridge for investigation!

If it is really found that there is a problem with those rice and utensils, then how can the Zhou family tell the difference? How can you deny it?

Such a situation made Gu Wanyin, who was originally full of confidence in the Zhou family, not be in a hurry? Seeing that the matter was about to be decided, but it was extremely unfavorable to the Zhou family, how could she not be annoyed?

Set up a porridge shed for soup kitchen. I wanted to do good. Now that someone is dead, it's infuriating enough. Now she has to take advantage of the prestige of the Zhou family, and she herself is also inescapable!

Gu Wanyin was unspeakably depressed in her heart. It's just that she has to hide it from the old lady. At the same time, I still have to think of ways to deal with things, and I am already exhausted!

What made her even more shocked and angry was that now this matter was in a uproar in Beijing. Almost everyone knows about it, everyone knows it! She sent someone out to investigate. The result was mixed - some people said that it was not the Zhou family, but others insisted that it was the Zhou family, and they said it with noses and eyes. It is said that in order to gain fame, the Zhou family deliberately used some inferior and degraded things to do good deeds, which is why the poisoning incident occurred.

Gu Wanyin knew in her heart that someone must be behind this matter. It's just that she can't figure out who wants to put the Zhou family to death like this. may be an opponent who disagrees with Zhou's housekeeping. It could also be something you want to achieve.

It's just that even though she sent someone to investigate secretly, she still didn't have a clue. Come to think of it, since the other party is so bold to make a move, he is confident that he can hide from the world and not show his feet. Gu Wanyin's people are all family servants, so naturally they can't do these things.

Perhaps, if Zhou Ruijing was here, the matter would have come to light a long time ago? Gu Wanyin sighed and smiled bitterly, but in her heart she encouraged herself, no matter what, she must persevere.

The three stewards saw that Gu Wanyin was angry; Immediately, they didn't dare to say more, and they were all depressed and at a loss. It's so weird that they can't figure it out. What went wrong?

Suddenly, a steward opened his mouth, but his tone was a little hesitant, obviously not sure: "Could it be that there is something wrong with the water?" ”

As soon as this was mentioned, the other two nodded hurriedly: "Yes, very likely." Rice and vegetables can't be done with hands and feet, and on-site poisoning can't be done. It's just that there's something wrong with the water. ”

Gu Wan almost laughed out loud - there is a problem with the water? The water was brought from the well in the Zhou family's house, who has the ability to poison the Zhou family's house? Moreover, if he really poisoned the well, wouldn't the Zhou family have no way to live? Moreover, how to explain the different levels of poisoning of those who ate porridge?

Looking at the three stewards coldly, Gu Wanyin sighed quietly in her heart, knowing very well that the three of them were also completely clueless, and they were afraid that they would blame themselves, so they hurriedly threw out such a possibility.

"Okay, let people get water and send it to the hospital for examination." Unwilling to bother with her tongue, Gu Wanyin instructed a mother-in-law standing below. Although this reason is a bit ridiculous, but now, without a clue, it can only be investigated in the same way.

And the utensils taken away by the yamen are believed to have a result soon.

Seeing that the three stewards really had no other ideas, Gu Wanyin had to wave their hands and let them disperse first. Each of them went back and thought about what else could go wrong.

As soon as the three stewards left, before Gu Wanyin could take a sip of hot tea, Danzhi whispered in a low voice: "The person sent to follow Yongzi said that Yongzi went to the casino." ”

"Casino?" Gu Wanyin frowned and repeated softly.

"It's Ruyi Fang in the north of the city. It's not a small casino, and people who don't have ideas don't dare to enter. Danzhi explained, and said: "Ruyifang not only has a casino, but also a restaurant. Generally, if you go in once, it will cost you dozens of taels of silver at the minimum. ”

At this time, Gu Wanyin couldn't help but be a little surprised, and frowned after glancing at Danzhi: "So, Yongzi is very rich?" ”

Danzhi nodded slightly: "It seems that it should be like this." Our people didn't dare to follow up, for fear of being discovered. ”

"It's okay, just keep sending people to guard it." Gu Wanyin smiled faintly, "But then you have to keep up." "In a place like a gambling house, no matter how much you have a net worth, it is common to lose a fortune. Even if Yongzi has a little wealth, how long can he last? Without the money, he would naturally think again. When the time comes, you won't be able to catch a big fish.

Danzhi obviously understood what she meant, and a faint smile appeared on his cold face at the moment: "As long as he comes out, he will definitely continue to follow." ”

"What about Xue Liu? What's going on? Gu Wanyin pondered for a moment and said again.

Danzhi shook his head: "The three of them stayed in the inn honestly and didn't take a step. Yuko didn't live with them, but went to look for them a few times. But they didn't stay long, Yongzi scolded every time he came out, I don't know what the two said, maybe it was a dispute. ”

"Can you find out what their relationship is?" Gu Wanyin smiled sarcastically, knowing that she had guessed correctly.

"After finding out, Yongzi was indeed not the younger brother of the deceased, but a distant relative; I haven't been in touch for a long time. This time, Xue Liu's family went to the capital to beg for a living, and they got in touch again. Danzhi said, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face: "Yuko's reputation among the neighbors is very stinky. Eat, drink, piáo and gamble, all of them are fine. No one wants to deal with him. This time, Xue Liu's husband just died, and Yongzi volunteered to get up. What the idea is, but it's obvious. ”

"If that's the case, it's easy to do." Gu Wanyin pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "From now on, try not to let them meet again." The province has a bad idea. ”

"Yes." Danzhi kept it in his heart. No more speech.

Gu Wanyin closed her eyes and took a nap, then opened her eyes again: "What is the change in the second wife?" "The matter has become so big, no matter how well she takes precautions, presumably the second wife should also know.

"The second wife is still sick. I heard that I quarreled with the second master a few times. The second master's face was scratched. Danzhi seemed to think it was a little funny, and his voice was full of laughter.

Gu Wanyin also showed a hint of a smile, and then sighed helplessly: "If it weren't for such a coincidence, something like this happened in the second room, and the second wife was contained, but I'm afraid that I would be miserable now." ”

Not to mention, the second wife will not cooperate with her, so that she can hide from the old lady. In order to be able to hold the feed tightly in her hand, the second wife will only be ruthless.

"It's just that the second wife is too hateful. Although he handed over the feed, he left such a bad account. Danzhi frowned and said, his tone a little unkind.

Gu Wanyin's expression was indifferent: "As long as the feed can come back, other things can be dealt with slowly." The money in the official will be supplemented at any time, but this year will be more difficult. But now I don't have the time to find the second wife to settle those bad debts, and when I'm free, I'll always think of something to make her vomit out. ”

When the second wife handed over the account book quickly, she knew where things would be so easy? Sure enough, after reading the account book, she had already discovered the biggest problem - the silver in the official, but there was no surplus at all. If you don't shrink it a little, I'm afraid you'll be stretched.

This made her can't help but sigh - this family is really not good.

However, since she is next, she will not back down half a point. The middle feed of the Zhennan Wangfu can only be most reliable in its own hands.

Besides, even if it's a bad debt, there will always be a day when it will be calculated. When the time comes, the second wife just wants to defend herself, but there is no way. These account books made by the second wife themselves are the best weapons.

But now, if you don't get through this crisis first, everything else is empty talk.

Gu Wanyin glanced at Danzhi hesitantly, her voice tired: "Danzhi, what kind of result will it be this time?" ”

Danzhi was also at a loss, and he pondered for a long time before he said ambiguously: "If you are innocent, naturally you will not be wronged no matter what." ”

It's just that up to now, no one knows whether the Zhou family really has no problems. After all, there are just too many people who handle it. If there really are people harboring evil intentions, it is not impossible.

Now, it all depends on what the yamen says.

Gu Wanyin sighed, hesitated for a moment and seemed to have made up her mind, the confusion in her eyes finally gradually receded, and she regained her clarity.
