Chapter 33

"Miss, you have to make the decision for me!" Mother Liu was in a hurry, calling out all the titles of Gu Qingyue when she was not out of the cabinet.

Although Gu Qingyue was weak, she still had aura, and asked in a deep voice, "Say, what's going on?"

"Miss, Mother Li is going to kill you!"

With a bang, Mrs. Tang in Gu Qingyue's hand fell to the ground.

Gu Nian yelled, she hurriedly turned her head and slapped Gu Nian lightly: "Sister Nian, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

His dark eyes shot at the kneeling Nanny Li, as if he wanted to burn a big hole in the top of her head.

Mother Liu said plausibly: "It's not that little bastard Hongyu who stuffed medicine into the whitebait eaten by Miss today and was caught by me. Who doesn't know, that little bitch Hongyu, including her father Mother, they are all disciplined by Nanny Li, the culprit is not her, who else is it!"

Holding the handkerchief, Liu's mother still looked puzzled, and in front of Gu Qingyue, she gave Li Nanny a push.

Cuihuan put away the medicine powder that Mama Liu had wrapped in a handkerchief, turned around and handed it to the doctor who was still enshrined in the mansion.

Nanny Li scrambled aside and said, "Ma'am, Mama Zhang is slandering. Hongyu's family is being disciplined by slaves, but they have to show evidence for what they say. They frame slaves indiscriminately, and slaves refuse to accept it!"

Mother Liu's arrogance was overwhelmed by Nanny Li, and she dropped a little.

Gu Qingyue supported her forehead and called out: "Go and bring Hongyu here."

The little maid outside the door got the order and rushed to the kitchen. Just after entering the back kitchen, she saw Hongyu hanging dead on the beam of the well.

The little maid screamed in fright!
"Madam, it's not good! Hongyu... Hongyu is dead...!"

When the little maid answered, her whole body trembled.

Dead without proof!

Gu Qingyue's head throbbed, and when she heard this, she began to cough heart-piercingly.

The only one who wanted her to die was the second wife of the General's Mansion, and Nanny Li became the knife in her hand, but just as Nanny Li said, without evidence, everything is in vain.

Cuihuan outside the house led the doctor to hurry over, the doctor in his 50s was sweating profusely when he saw Gu Qingyue, he quickly knelt down on the ground.

"My lady, I am old and incompetent. The powder is so crushed that I can't tell what it is. Only when I know what it is, can I prescribe the right medicine. Unfortunately, I can't tell the difference after careful inspection. Please, my lady... Also please Gao Ming."

Time seemed to stand still. I thought it would be a bright future, but unexpectedly fell into a stalemate again. Gu Qingyue resisted the itch in her throat, glanced at all the servants, and shouted sharply: "Check! Give me a room!" If there is no problem found, I don’t mind returning with a new batch of slaves!”

Gu Qingyue was ruthless, and handed over all the investigation to Mama Zhang.

Gu Nian, who was pretending to sleep, looked at Gu Qingyue's body that was so thin after only half a month, and felt extremely guilty.

It's very unfortunate that I can personally bear this pain for Gu Qingyue!

Behind everyone's back, he quietly clenched his fists.

This life is too aggrieved. There are wolves in the front and tigers in the back. Not only is she young, but she is also a woman in a disadvantaged position.

She wanted to stretch her fists, but she didn't have room to move, and she had to be on guard against Xiaoxi's surveillance every day.

One day, she will definitely take Gu Qingyue and escape from this innocent place.

All the servants stood on both sides of the hall, watching Mama Liu lead a few people to search for clues.

The atmosphere was tense, and everyone panicked at Gu Qingyue's high-handed tactics, for fear that disaster would happen to them.

Time passed by, and Mother Liu had not returned with her people. Unable to withstand the solemn atmosphere, several servants were sweating coldly on their foreheads.

Xiaoxi, who is timid, couldn't help kneeling on the ground as early as when Gu Qingyue looked at her.

When there was a clanging sound in the yard, Mother Liu led the people back.

"Ma'am, these are all found by the servants in various houses. The list is here, please have a look."

Under the calm and waveless lake, everyone is hiding ghosts!
Gu Qingyue took it without looking at it carefully, folded it and put it back in the sleeve: "For so many years, I don't think I have been harsh on you, spring clothes and winter jackets, monthly rewards, which one of you is missing? Huh? Everyone eats inside and outside What happened! Now that this happened, Mama Liu found out about you. What are the criminal evidences listed here? I don’t want to read it either. I will give you a chance to tell what you have done, as long as it is not too much It’s okay to deal with it leniently and let the past go, otherwise, don’t blame me for selling you to the border for disposal!”

He picked up the teacup on the small table, took a sip of the tea, and said again: "By the way, don't blame me for not reminding you, it's closed here, but it's a good place, if you have a life, you don't have a life to return..." At the end of the sentence After falling, the tea lid fell back into the tea bowl, like an alarm bell ringing in everyone's heart.

"Mother Zhang, take them out and come in one by one!" Gu Qingyue got up from the imperial concubine's couch and sat upright in the main hall.

No one knew what Liu's mother found, but Gu Qingyue's beating left a strong trace in everyone's heart.

"Come on, tell me, what mistakes did you make? Or, what have you discovered in this mansion? The lady said it, and it is good. If there is a lie, you will be rewarded outside the mansion." The small house I bought may change hands..."

Gu Qingyue didn't open her mouth, she just quietly sipped her tea, all the words were said by Cuihuan for her.

"I don't dare, I don't dare, Da Furen, the servant Shunping is a procurer of the mansion, and he has indeed swallowed a lot of money. I beg you to spare me, I will never dare again next time. I will definitely return the money from the mansion." Come out, please spare this slave this time..."

Cuihuan took a look at Gu Qingyue and interrupted Shunping's hypocrisy, "Okay, you are a smart person, you should know what the lady wants to know? But if you still don't know what's good, don't blame... "

"The servant said, say, on December 12rd, the servant... the servant was just going to Yunnan to buy a batch of spices, and Li Madam took the servant along. She said that she saw a unique flower in Yuzhou in the market. It’s very beautiful, but it’s a step too late, and it’s bought by someone, so on the way she wants her servants to go to Yunnan, when passing through Yuzhou, can you bring her a bag of seeds, she wants to buy them back and plant them herself.”

"And then? What flower seeds did she want you to bring? Did you bring them?"

"Take it. The servant came back at the end of January. I planted the flower for her when I came back. The flower seems to be called Mandala Aster."

Gu Nian hid on the imperial concubine's couch, and felt a little bit in her heart. The flowering period of Aster aster is generally from September to October. It is an ornamental plant. The seeds are poisonous, but the toxicity weakens and subsides after emergence, so most people think it is non-toxic.

If the seeds are ground into powder and taken continuously, it will cause respiratory edema, cause strong cough and asthma, and even lead to suffocation and life-threatening in severe cases.

The only way to save it is to crush the petals of the aster that blooms and drink it, but its flowering period is from September to October, how can Gu Qingyue persist for so long?

Gu Nian thought of modern greenhouses with constant temperature, which can grow fresh off-season vegetables.

Now, she is powerless and can only pray that the master will come sooner.

The servants came in one after another, and Cuihuan recorded every word they said on the paper, and when they left, they also asked everyone to write down their dictation.

"Ma'am, everyone's dictation is here except Nanny Li. It's just these evidences, but I still haven't found out who gave you the medicine. It's strange that Nanny Li wants to plant flowers, but the mandala aster is in the capital. They are all paid tribute to the royal family, and they are hard to find, but I have never heard of it being poisonous..."

Cuihuan whispered, looking at Gu Qingyue's thoughtful face.
