Chapter 1021 Motivation
The courtroom was quiet, Mr. Fu Yin fell into deep thought, the master remembered something, got up and whispered into his ear, telling him that because of Yang Mi's murder, Gu Chan had reconciled with Yang Mi.

After Fu Yin heard this, his eyebrows moved slightly, knowing that the case was more complicated, he grabbed the gavel and slapped it hard, and retreated.

At the same time that Yang Mi was being dragged down, the governor called the master to discuss in the second hall, and they all agreed that the reason behind this matter was not trivial, and they should tell Duke Ye's residence as soon as possible.

Mrs. Gu was sitting at home, receiving the letter from Yingtian Mansion from the housekeeper from Pang's mother, opened the letter, she was shocked, her expression changed dramatically.

Seeing his wife's face changing like this, Pang's mother immediately waved away all the servants in the room, and she hurried forward and asked softly.

"Ma'am, what happened? There is no good news from the yamen?"

Mrs. Gu recovered from her surprise, her face gradually showed anger, and she handed the letter in her hand to Mama Pang.

"See for yourself."

Pang's mother looked at ten lines at a glance, her face also changed color in shock, even though she was a housekeeper with decades of experience who was used to wind and rain, she couldn't help but her legs softened at this moment, and she held on to the table to stand firm.

"How?! How is it possible?! The second room actually...?!"

"Their mother and daughter are so courageous! I really thought it was Yang Mi's idea to avenge his father alone, but I didn't expect their mother and daughter to be behind the instigation!"

"Madam believes Yang Mi's confession?!"

"The source of the money is the key!" Mrs. Gu turned her eyes, showing a cold taste, "The Yang family is empty, where does Yang Mi get the money to pay for murder?"

"Maybe it was borrowed, but he couldn't swallow the breath of being forced to reconcile, so he deliberately framed it?"

"Yang Mi didn't make any excuses. His confession clearly stated that it was the request of his mother-in-law and wife. There will be no physical evidence of the conspiracy between the family members. My sister-in-law and niece must also categorically deny their participation in this matter. There is no physical evidence and evidence. Witnesses, only confessions are the only evidence, Yang Mi said so, so I can only believe it!"

"This is fatal! Ma'am! Our Duke Ye's mansion! And the Second Master and Uncle Xu! Their futures are all over! How can the Second Lady be so stupid!" Pang's mother was anxious and worried, stomping her feet repeatedly.

"My two sons are dead, and Gu Xu of her family is the new son. With such a huge benefit in front of her, with her brain, does she think what will happen if she fails?!"

Mrs. Gu slammed the table and stood up.

"Ma'am?!" Mother Pang was startled.

"Our three masters are all brothers of the same mother. The second lady's wolfish ambition has caused the second master and brother Xu to suffer. It is a fatal blow to the old matriarch. Rong Entang must take good care of it!"

"Yes! Ma'am!" Mama Pang responded with awe-inspiring expression. The master and the son now have a bright future, and the old matriarch must not have any accidents.

Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the letter, walked out, and went to the Zhongming Court to find her eldest son.

Gu Yun practiced swordsmanship in the yard, Bai Kou went to inspect the new house but he still didn't take him there, and he didn't want to write a theory, so he wore his jacket and trousers and practiced swordsmanship over and over again in the yard, sweating all over.

Mrs. Gu stood on the porch, watched her son finish his sword practice, and then beckoned him to come over, and grabbed the sweat towel at hand and threw it to him.

"It's not bad. If you are so fat, your kung fu has not fallen."

Gu Yun smiled triumphantly, wiped his face with a sweat towel, he couldn't count how many times he practiced, his chest and back were all wet with sweat.

"It's nothing more than a nimble fat man, what are you proud of?" Mrs. Gu mercilessly disliked her son.

"Mom! You can't do this! For your daughter-in-law, you have to encourage me!"

"Encourage you to continue to gain weight?"

"I've lost weight! I've really lost weight! I've gotten smaller in every size!"

"If you can wear the old clothes from this time last year, I believe you are really thin."

"Uh!" Gu Yun was at a loss for words. At this time last year, Bai Kou was still his servant.

Gu Yun put down the sweat towel, and put on a face that was flushed from martial arts training, "Mother, you are in a bad mood to make fun of your son, who offended you?"

"There is a big crisis in the mansion."

"what?!"

Mrs. Gu handed the letter in her hand to her son, "Look at the latest news from the Yamen."

Gu Yun glanced over and quickly read it, with a strange expression on his face, not too surprised, but more of an unexpected emotion.

"Aren't you surprised? You knew it earlier?!" Mrs. Gu's fingers trembled a few times, regretting why she didn't bring a feather duster.

"When Yang Mi admitted that he was the one who bought the crime, there was a bit of suspicion."

Of course, Gu Yun didn't dare to tell the truth. He discussed it with Gong Changji and Bai Kou when he deployed the plan to lure the snake out of the cave, and now his guess at that time has been confirmed.

"Mother, Yang Mi's family has no money, and they rely on Gu Chan's dowry money to eat. How can Gu Chan not know about such a large sum of money for murder? This is not the change for buying firewood, rice, oil and salt at home. Killing me and Gu Chen in one shot, two You are a rich and powerful son, I am still the eldest son of the imperial court, I don’t have a few thousand taels of silver to hire a good killer? Both Gu Chen and I are unmarried, if we both die, there will be no children behind us, and the eldest son will die, my property will be all Parents, and then the imperial court made Gu Xu the new heir, and the property became his in one hand. Bai Kou is a genius in business. Last year, the dividend from the factory alone was more than [-] taels to me. With the construction of the farm step by step If it is in place, it will make more money in the future. For a major shareholder like me, an annual dividend of one million taels can be expected. With the virtue of my second aunt who has always been in the eye of money, can she not be tempted? Kill me and Gu Chen , these belong to her family, and if Gu Xu becomes the eldest son, he will be able to come out of that poor village."

"They really have a good plan! We thought it was Yang Mi's own idea. He killed you brothers to avenge his family. If that's the case, it's fine, but it turns out that there is your second aunt who wants to share a piece of the pie!" Gu Da Furious, the madam gritted her teeth and said in a hateful voice.

Gu Yun lowered his head and looked at the letter in his hand again. His guess was confirmed. Duke Ye's mansion will face the biggest crisis since its establishment. He doesn't know that he will be ridiculed by the people of the capital for several years.

"Mother, grandma must be careful, she is too old to stand such a stimulus!"

"I know, I have already told Mama Pang, and I can't hide it from her. She has a four-wheeled carriage, and she loves to wander around the streets. As long as she goes out, she will hear about it. We can't stop her from going out. She is not at all. If you are confused, you will immediately suspect that something has happened at home." Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu had the most headache.

"Oh, by the way, there's also sister-in-law. The husband and wife were at odds in the first place. Once the news spreads, the Gan family will definitely vent their anger on their daughter."

"Then let them reconcile. The Gan family in Pingzhou is a big family anyway, and your sister-in-law is the daughter of the eldest family. How can she bear this tone? You don't have to worry about this matter. I will talk to the Gan family." .”

"There's also Gu Wan. I heard that she has been at odds with her husband's family and has not had children until now. If the Gan family reports this matter back, Gu Wan might be divorced and come back."

"Who can be blamed? It's your second aunt who committed the crime. Who can be blamed? We have to clean up the mess for them!"

Mrs. Gu took a deep breath, rolled up her sleeves, and blew back to Jicheng Hall like a gust of wind.

Gu Yun looked down at the paper in his hand, feeling very uncomfortable.

I hope this crisis in Duke Ye's Mansion can end as soon as possible.
