Chapter 35
After reading it, Wei Xiaoniang was stunned.

Seeing that Miss Wei didn't speak, Xiaodie became a little anxious: "Xiao Niang, I feel that there is something wrong with Xiao Niang. She was so kind before and arranged for people to send supplements to her, but she even withheld the charcoal fire in her room. If Miss Six hadn't been there, The master mentioned it in front of me, maybe my little girl is still freezing now."

"Don't talk nonsense. Didn't I tell you already? The cheating was done by the servants who favored the superiors and suppressed the inferiors. I have already betrayed the people." Wei Xiaoniang came back to her senses and scolded.

"Xiao Niang, can you be sober? That's right, the people in the house like to praise the high and trample the low, but the Lord has been spending the night with Xiao Niang some time ago. Although he hasn't come for a while, how dare those servants neglect you? And you are now You are still pregnant, if you give birth to a brother, your status will be very different. If those servants are not instructed, where would they dare to withhold your charcoal?" Xiaodie retorted.

"Okay, stop talking about baseless things." Wei Xiaoniang said.

"Why is there no evidence? As long as another doctor comes to check the pulse of Xiaoniang, it will be clear at that time. Tell the master, Lin Xiaoniang can please me?" Xiaodie said.

Wei Xiaoniang shook her head with a wry smile, if only things were as simple as Xiaodie said.

Even if what the letter said was true, if another doctor took the pulse, the doctor who colluded with Lin Xiaoniang could completely say that her body was nourished by taking supplements during this period of time.

And this kind of thing, the most important thing is to see Sheng Hong's attitude.

As long as Sheng Hong prefers Lin Xiaoniang, it will be useless unless he finds irrefutable evidence.

Just like before when the servant deducted the charcoal fire, Xiao Die could see that the servant didn't have the courage, could Sheng Hong see it?
He sold those servants, not only to give Lin Xiaoniang a warning, but also to end the matter there.

To put it bluntly, she is protecting Miss Lin.

"Is it possible to just let this matter go?" Xiaodie said unwillingly.

"if not?"

Wei Xiaoniang actually believed the contents of the letter to seven or eight percent. The reason why she didn't make a fuss was that she knew that even if she made a fuss, she wouldn't be able to bring down Lin Xiaoniang.

On the contrary, if Lin Xiaoniang knew that the plan had failed, she would definitely think of other ways, and she would be even more unprepared for it when the time came.

"Starting from tomorrow, you can eat more of the supplements sent from the kitchen and leave some for me." Wei Xiaoniang said.

Xiaodie was startled when she heard this, then quickly reacted and said, "Mom, I understand."

Wei Xiaoniang smiled and pulled Xiaodie to sit down, and said: "Xiaodie, sometimes it's better to say than not to say anything. Just pretend that this incident never happened, and just burn the other letter."

"My dear, the person who sent the letter is kind to you. If you don't keep the letter, you might be able to find this person through his handwriting in the future." Xiaodie said.

Wei Xiaoniang thought for a while and said, "If you don't believe it, if this letter is discovered, it will be a huge disaster and must be dealt with."

……

After delivering the letter, Gu Tingye found a follower of the Yuan family and asked him to tell Yuan Wenchun that he would stay in Yangzhou for a few days and left the Sheng family without waiting for him.

After some inquiries in Yangzhou City, Gu Tingye also heard a lot of news.

In addition to the old man's lineage, the Bai family also has two other lines: the second and third families.

The old man of the Bai family was a concubine. After his father died, the old man of the Bai family was kicked out by the people in the second and third houses.

As a result, the two-bedroom and three-bedroom family ruined all their fortunes, but the old man Bai worked hard to make a fortune.

After the two rooms learned about it, they had the cheek to invite old master Bai back, and said they would give the old man the ancestral house to him.

They said yes, but they actually bought the ancestral house of the Bai family.

Old Mrs. Bai cared about the brotherhood and spent money to buy back the Bai family's ancestral home. He also generously allowed the second and third bedrooms to live in the ancestral home and bought some properties for them.

About half a year ago, Mrs. Bai was seriously ill, and the second and third bedroom had been arguing for him to adopt an heir from the second and third bedroom.

For this reason, the two houses had a fierce quarrel, so many people in Yangzhou knew about it.

Based on this information, Gu Tingye believed [-]% to [-]% of the letter.

Thinking of this, Gu Tingye came directly to Bai's house with the letter.

As soon as I arrived at the door of Bai's house, I heard loud crying coming from Bai's house. The servants at the door were hanging white sails.

Seeing this scene, Gu Tingye's heart skipped a beat, but he still felt lucky and stepped forward and asked, "I wonder who passed away in your house?"

A steward who was in charge of his subordinates heard the words and saluted and said: "My little brother, the old lady in the house has passed away. Now the house is busy with greenery and has no time to entertain. When the arrangement is completed, guests will be invited to come to express their condolences."

When Gu Tingye heard the news, he staggered and almost fell.

When he came to his senses, he rushed inside.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

The steward was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Gu Tingye didn't stop, he quickly called for someone to stop him.

Gu Tingye was stopped before he reached the front hall.

"Get out of the way, I am Gu Tingye, the grandson of Old Master Bai." Gu Tingye no longer concealed his identity.

The servants surrounding Gu Tingye looked at each other, and one of them said: "My little brother, please wait a moment, I will go in and report."

Gu Tingye nodded with red eyes. Although he was anxious to see his grandfather, he couldn't force his way in and disturb his grandfather's ghost.

In the mourning hall that the Bai family was setting up, there was a lot of crying.

However, although these crying people cried sadly, there were no tears in their eyes. On the contrary, many people still had a faint look of joy in their eyes.

At this moment, a servant hurried over.

"Why so panic?"

A middle-aged man shouted with a straight face.

"Master, there is a person outside who claims to be the grandson of the old man, named Gu Tingye. I don't know if it's true or not." The servant reported.

"what?"

The middle-aged man and the others looked at each other with panic.

"That person came to cheat and drive him out," said a man in his 30s.

"Yes, yes, drive him out." The other days also echoed.

"Yes." The servant went away in response.

The old man of the Bai family only had one daughter, but he had many children with two or three children.

The old man with two and three bedrooms has passed away, and the people in the mourning hall are the second and third generations of his family.

Among them, there are three people in the second bedroom and two generations, and two people in the third bedroom.

The servants spoke, and the man who spoke first signaled to the others, and the five left the mourning hall and came to a quiet room.

As soon as he entered the room, the boss of the third room said bitterly: "I said why that old ghost has always been unwilling to adopt a step-heir. It turns out that he wants his grandson to inherit the family business."

The two of them had been secretly fighting over the adoption of a step-heir before, but Mr. Bai never agreed.

Now when I heard that Gu Tingye was coming, I still didn't know what Mr. Bai had planned.

"Huh, how can the property of our Bai family be inherited by someone with a different surname? We can't fight anymore. Since the person surnamed Gu dares to come, maybe he has a letter from the old ghost asking him to inherit the family business. The Gu family is a marquis mansion." Well, the Yangzhou government will definitely not dare to offend him. When things get serious and the Bai family property is awarded to him, we will just use the bamboo basket to fetch water." Said the boss of the second room of the Bai family.

"What do you mean, big brother?"

A ruthless look flashed in the eyes of the second bedroom boss of the Bai family, and he said, "We will share the family business equally, and find someone to give him to..."

After speaking, he made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Brother, that's the second son of Marquis Ningyuan."

"Yes, if something happens to him and Ningyuan Houfu investigates him, we can't afford it."

The rest of the faces changed and they all retorted.

"Are you willing to give up Nuo Da's family fortune to an outsider? I know a group of bandits. I only need to spend a lot of money, and I'm not afraid that they won't be willing to take action. After the matter is completed, you only need to reveal the identity of the kid to them, and they will naturally If we run away, we won't be traced at all." said the second eldest brother of the Bai family.

The rest of the people were naturally reluctant to part with the huge family business, hesitated for a while, and agreed to the plan of the boss of the Bai family.

Just when Gu Tingye was facing a life and death crisis, Yuan Wenshao also led his troops to a valley thirty miles outside Lingzhou City.

Yuan Wenshao sent a large number of scouts to investigate the situation near Lingzhou City, and then ordered someone to bring Nuershan over.
