Chapter 442 Countermeasures
"What are we going to do next? The servants of Duke Ye's mansion were murdered on the street, this matter is not so easy to settle." The eldest lady cast a menacing glance at the father and son.

"Let's make this a big deal. Since the murder was committed in the street, why should we act quietly? It seems that we have a guilty conscience." Gu Yun rolled his eyes.

Seeing his son's expression, the couple knew that he must have some idea.

"Then tell me, after all, Bai Kou is your manager, and you should stand up for her." The eldest lady took a sip of tea.

"There is a ready-made opportunity to make a big deal." Gu Yun paused, "Bai Kou is injured now and can no longer make snacks. The women's tea room can only be closed for a month, and the reservation fees of customers will be refunded tomorrow. Naturally, there must be a reason for the refund. It is a fact that Bai Kou was assassinated by a killer. I didn’t make it up. After word of mouth from the daughters of Qianjin, it will naturally spread to the palace. We are the parties involved in Ye State’s mansion, and some words are inconvenient If you say it, let someone else say it for us, the palace will definitely send people out to investigate, and the rest will be handled by them."

"You are beating the gongs and drums all over the capital to announce that Bai Kou has been assassinated." The Duke laughed with great interest.

"The killer kills people in the street, and I'm not allowed to shout for injustice? What's the reason for this? Our Duke Ye's mansion is the victim, if we swallow our anger, it's not demeaning our own status." Gu Yun finished speaking, and picked up the small teacup He raised his head and drank it in one gulp.

"That's right. It's a fact that Bai Kou was injured. It's a fact that the business of the teahouse was affected. It's a fact that refunding the reservation fee is a last resort. Everything is a fact, and there is no falsehood. Why can't you shout it out loud? Even if it is for the future of the teahouse. For the sake of business, you have to tell the truth to the guests, otherwise what will happen during the one-month blank period, when Bai Kou recovers from his injury, but the guests don't come to the door any more?" The lady agreed with her son's idea.

"Since that's the case, let's make a big fuss. I'll go to the government office tomorrow and spread the word about it, and see how other people react to it. I can almost circle a few suspects."

"Although there are many concubines in the harem, but the sons are successful, and they are also capable of making troubles in the Eastern Palace. I can count them on one hand. If it was really someone among them, I don't think it is very surprising. .” Da Furen sighed quietly.

"The battle for succession has always been unscrupulous. I'm afraid that the empress and empress will be in danger, but she is a little safer now than the prince." The more the Duke said, the more frightening he became. When the cup is full, you are ready to leave.

"By the way, Aunt Rong has something to ask you, and Gu Hui spoke in the afternoon, so you just go and have a look at the back." The eldest lady reminded her son before going out.

Grandpa Guo and Gu Yun were both surprised and delighted, "Why did she suddenly speak?"

"It seems to be stimulated by Bai Kou's injury. Anyway, it's always a good thing."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Gu Yun turned around and went out, went straight to the back building, stood in the yard and called Shuizhen.

Shuizhen ran down from the second floor, greeted Gu Yun and went upstairs to the room in the East Wing, which was the study room of Aunt Rong's usual director.

Aunt Rong welcomed Gu Yun into the room at the door with a smile. Gu Yun congratulated Aunt Rong first. Like Bai Kou, the money collected by the teahouse fell into her pocket, no matter what Aunt Rong said, he disagreed.

"Auntie, if you really want to express your gratitude, Bai Kou will be recuperating from her injury for a month now. It's better than anything else if you get her some delicious food. It won't be worthwhile for her to be bored and carry me behind her back."

"Bai Kou is so naughty, don't talk about her like that."

"Okay, okay, I won't speak ill of her, but there is no need to discuss this matter, and we have to use the opportunity of refunding the compensation to make a big fuss. Now that Hui'er has improved, you can take good care of her wholeheartedly. If we need you Your help will definitely not be polite to you."

Seeing that Gu Yun was so persistent, Aunt Rong didn't say anything more.

"Well, since you said that, I won't insist. If you have anything you want me to do, you must say that although the Ou family is not a big businessman, they have a lot of traffickers. They are good at spreading rumors and so on. Bai Kou was injured. This matter can be spread through their mouths to the whole capital.”

"Hey, this is a good idea, but don't rush it for a while, wait for the news to spread in the upper circles, and then use the Ou family's staff to spread it throughout the capital."

"Okay, I'll wait for your order."

The two agreed on this, so Gu Yun went back to the Zhongming Courtyard to rest, and after eating the dinner made by the girls, he went to say good night to the old lady as usual, and talked about Bai Kou, Gu Yun didn't want to scare the old grandmother, just said yes They will track down the murderer, and then the topic turns to the second room. They have already set a few days in late May or early June. Depending on the weather, the whole family will leave for Pingzhou. They will marry Gu Wan first at the end of June, and then Gu Xu will marry the Gan family on July [-]th. Nine girls, after that the second wife stayed in Pingzhou to take care of her husband, Gu Xu took his wife and younger brothers and sisters back to Beijing, and opened the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Gu Yun coaxed the old grandmother to hug her great-grandson next year, which made the old man laugh out loud.

After returning to Zhongming Courtyard, Gu Yun went directly to review his homework and did not bother Bai Kou's rest.

The Duke of Ye's mansion has returned to calm, but the atmosphere in Shi's son-in-law's house is gloomy. Shi Tianqi's assassination was behind her parents' backs. Only her elder brother Shi Tianmin knew about it, but it was too late when he found out, and the wayward younger sister was unwilling to withdraw. He thought that Bai Kou was going to die.

No one expected that Bai Kou was only seriously injured.

The staff given by my grandmother were all well-trained hands. I don't know how many lives were on their hands, but they would stumble on a little girl.

The son-in-law and the eldest princess had no time to get angry at their daughter's recklessness, and they were more worried about the serious consequences caused by the fact that Bai Kou was not dead.

"It's fine if Bai Kou is dead. She's not dead now. When the news spreads tomorrow, many people will immediately think of the great achievements she made during the Chinese New Year, and they will definitely think that this is the matter of the emperor's grandson." The behind-the-scenes mastermind is deliberately revenge, killing and silencing!" The stone son-in-law frowned deeply into a word, how to deal with the aftermath of the headache.

"Originally, I gave up the life of the prince and child just to put an end to the murder of the emperor's grandson. After half a year, you still want to attack Bai Kou. She is a lowly official servant, a thing that can be manipulated by others, why is she How can De be worthy of your dignified Miss Shi's attention to her?" The eldest princess held a small thin porcelain cup in her hand and cursed angrily.

"Bai Kou is Gu Yun's money bag. In the past six months, she has proved her talent for making money. How much did she earn in the first month of the opening of the teahouse? Gu Yun doesn't know how much she values ​​her. She is injured today, and Gu Yun must be very angry. Jumping feet, and the servants of Duke Ye's mansion were assassinated in the street, Duke Ye and his wife will not let it go."

Shi Tianmin hasn't had any contact with Gu Yun in the past few months, so he has some understanding of his temperament, not to mention how much Gu Yun values ​​Bai Kou, the whole school knows from the master to the handyman.
