Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 63: Wasp
If he hadn't seen Nan Zhi's body with his own eyes, Gu Zhouting couldn't help but wonder if Nan Zhi had put on a layer of skin to tease him.

"Ms. Jiang doesn't want your people to be used as scapegoats, so answer my questions properly."

"Didn't the daughter of the common people answer the adults' questions well?" Jiang Wanning secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, she was really worried that Gu Zhouting would be harmful to Uncle Yang, so she had to use Nan Zhi's words and deeds to remind him of his past. remember.

I hope his original intention is still there.

The candlelight was dim, Gu Zhouting remained silent, looking at Jiang Wanning with a dark and unclear look.

"What did the young prince say when he asked you alone?" As he spoke, Gu Zhouting opened the records compiled by Ji Yunchen and turned to the page about Jiang Wanning.

"If there is any mismatch...you know the consequences."

Jiang Wan Ning answered while thinking.

Chen Pingzhang showed it to her. Naturally, she could recite every word well, but reciting it too smoothly would make Gu Zhouding suspicious.

So, she just has to be generally good.

After a while, Gu Zhou stopped closing the record and looked at Jiang Wan Ning intently.

If he had not seen her intelligence, perhaps he would think that she was the least suspicious of all the people he questioned.

Unfortunately, he has seen it before.

Therefore, when everyone else answered his question as if they were endorsing it, she was the only one who had a normal reaction.On the contrary, it is the most suspicious.

This is called being clever but being mistaken by wisdom.

"Can Lady Jiang play chess?"

Jiang Wan Ning was stunned, her thoughts unable to keep up with his jumping rhythm.

She nodded subconsciously.

"I'll have time to play another round with Mrs. Jiang tomorrow."

Jiang Wanning left the inquiry room and felt someone's eyes falling on her. She raised her eyes to the second floor and saw Ji Yunchen standing in the corridor, looking down at her.

When she went upstairs, Ji Yunchen had disappeared.

When Ji Yunchen returned to his room, Chen Pingzhang looked at him eagerly.

"She's fine." Ji Yunchen said.

Chen Pingzhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since he heard the noise coming from next door and Mrs. Jiang was called for questioning, his heart had been in doubt.

Ji Yunchen said with a smile: "Why are you so nervous?"

She was so smart and couldn't handle Gu Zhouting?
Chen Pingzhang muttered: "That Mr. Gu looks very sinister. Who knows what methods he will use."

Ji Yunchen was convinced that Gu Zhouting was indeed sinister.

Jiang Wan Ning deliberately dropped the bracelet to help him out, and with the only inquiry record in his handwriting, Gu Zhou Ting would definitely suspect something between him and Jiang Wan Ning based on his suspicious temperament.

He knew Gu Zhouding very well, so he deliberately left these flaws, including the marks on the window bolts.

If Gu Zhou is allowed to doubt first and then overturned, then Jiang Wan Ning will be safe and the traces left by the perpetrator will be covered up.

Yes, he had expected Gu Zhouting to come. Knowing that he was at this inn, Gu Zhouting would definitely come. However, Xiao Wang's appearance was surprising.

Someone was called for questioning next door, and the voice sounded like it was Grandma Wang.

Grandma Wang has been gone for a long time.

It took so long that Jiang Wan Ning became restless.Grandma Wang just came back.

"Mother Wang, why have you been gone for so long? What did Mr. Gu ask you?" Yu Niang asked worriedly.

Grandma Wang poured a glass of water from the teapot, drank two cups in a row, and then said: "Oh, my throat is almost smoking. Sir Gu, don't ask anything else, just ask me when my eldest wife was at the Song family. What can I do about the matter? To put it simply, Mr. Gu will start talking about it, I can only start talking about it, isn’t it just... talking for a long time. "

"But Madam, this servant didn't say anything false. She told the truth. She told all the good things Madam Xu did for Mr. Song and Madam, as well as Mr. Xu." "Yu Niang, be careful, Gu. The adults will definitely ask you about your eldest wife."

Lin Ruoruo frowned: "Why is this Master Gu so interested in the eldest lady? Is it possible..."

Is it possible that Mr. Gu suspected that the eldest lady killed those Dayuan people?

The three of them thought of the same thing and suddenly became nervous.

Jiang Wanning smiled: "Master Gu, I have been asking about the case for most of the day. I am bored and want to hear the story."

As it was, wasn't Gu Zhouting interested in what the relationship was between her and Ji Yunchen?

Didn't Ji Yunchen hand-write her inquiry record just to guide Gu Zhouting into messy things?
All are human.

It's almost like a hornet's nest for those who are too evil-minded.

Well, she's no slouch either.

Back then, they were probably all born in the year of Ma Feng.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Niang was also called for questioning. She did not come back until dawn.

As soon as she entered the room, Grandma Wang pulled her and asked, "Did Mr. Gu also let me talk about the eldest lady?"

Yuniang shook her head and said aggrievedly: "Master Gu didn't ask anything. He just asked the slaves to pour him tea, grind ink, and add lamp oil, and he was sorting out the files himself."

Three people: Uh...

"Master Gu, is he using you as a servant?"

Yu Niang pursed her lips and nodded.

Jiang Wanning was speechless and held her forehead. Gu Zhouting was really a bad learner.

When Ji Yunchen went downstairs to eat in the morning, Xiao Wang and Gu Zhouting had already eaten.

Xiao Wang saw him coming down and greeted him warmly: "Yun Chen, let's eat together."

Ji Yunchen walked over and sat down opposite Gu Zhouding.

"Master Gu is in good spirits. I heard that the trial last night last night."

Gu Zhou stopped to finish the last mouthful of porridge, put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said calmly: "To be precise, I spent the first half of the night interrogating and the second half of the night listening to stories."

Xiao Wang was curious: "What story is so exciting? What happened after we left last night?"

Gu Zhouting glanced at Ji Yunchen: "Ms. Jiang said that she also wants to know why you asked Chen Qilang to ask her alone."

Ji Yunchen snorted: "This woman is quite good at pretending to be stupid."

Xiao Wang became more and more curious: "Is Madam Jiang the young lady who accidentally dropped her bracelet yesterday?"

At this time, Chen Pingzhang's voice came from upstairs: "Ms. Jiang, have you eaten?"

Ji Yunchen pursed his lips: "You've all seen it! Chen Qilang, a stupid young man, is too enthusiastic. I have to warn someone not to have inappropriate thoughts. She is so scheming that Chen Qilang will not be rewarded after being bought by her. Lehehe helped her count the money. Mr. Chen left the person to me, and I have to keep an eye on his precious grandson for Mr. Chen."

Gu Zhouting lowered his eyebrows and frowned slightly: "You should say this to Chen Qilang."

"Is it useful to tell him? That night, if I didn't come forward, he would have rolled up his sleeves by himself."

"No one can stop the young man's first thoughts." Xiao Wang understands quite well, no one has ever been young, but the person who made his heart beat back then is no longer there.

The past cannot be traced.

"However, this Lady Jiang is a merchant and an abandoned woman, so she is really not suitable."

The Chen family is a scholarly family. There was Taifu Chen in the front and Chen Jianghe in the back. They were all the mainstays of the imperial court. How could a girl from the Jiang family be worthy of this?

Ji Yunchen brought the topic back: "Mr. Gu, are there any clues about the case?"
