delicious little cook

Chapter 616

Gu Yun rushed to the second wife's side, only to find that the imperial physician was there, and Tong Mingli had already fallen asleep peacefully under the effect of acupuncture.

Tong Hanlin was anxious and distressed. Seeing Gu Yun coming, he saluted him very formally to thank him. Gu Yun was so flustered that he didn't dare to accept the gift. Gu Xu and the second wife also persuaded him to sit down again. speak next.

Gu Yun and Gu Xu sat side by side at the lower heads of the two elders. Gu Yun told Tong Hanlin all the details he knew. Tong Mingli had just learned from his sister that Tong Mingli committed suicide by diving. Twice, Tong Hanlin was really grateful for that.

The identity and background of that vicious in-law's family Gu Yun has been curious for a long time, but the Tong family is not his relatives, even if he has a lot of questions to ask, he can't ask them right now, especially seeing that Gu Xu has also returned, so he simply handed over the housework to the second bedroom. They dealt with it themselves, and he was about to leave after a few words of relief.

At this moment, servants from outside came in again, Madam Newsboy, and soon Madam Tong, who was very anxious, entered the main room, completely ignoring the salute, and rushed to Madam Gu, holding her hand and asking how Tong Mingli was doing.

Seeing that Mrs. Tong was emotionally unstable, everyone quickly persuaded her to calm down. Fortunately, her husband came a step earlier, and with his comfort, Mrs. Tong finally regained her sanity. They sat down and listened to Gu Yun linking the two events together. After talking briefly, Mrs. Tong burst into tears before she finished listening. She couldn't sit still anymore, wiped her tears, dragged her husband, and accompanied by Mrs. Gu Er, eagerly went to Tong Mingli's room to accompany her daughter.

In the main room, only Gu Yun and Gu Xu brothers were left in the moment. Gu Yun was even more lazy to wait for the elders to come back in this room, so he said he wanted to leave, dragged Gu Xu to send him out, and reminded him on the way , Let him go back to his small courtyard to see his sister-in-law. There are all kinds of chaos in the house this morning, so don't frighten her, a pregnant woman.

Gu Xu quickly thanked his younger brother, and the two brothers broke up halfway. Gu Xu went back to visit his wife, while Gu Yun went to see his mother, and recounted to her the chaotic scene in the second room.

The two of them were chatting, when the girl from Zhongming Court hurried over with a letter, saying that the guards had returned and brought news from Yingtian Mansion.

Gu Yun quickly opened the letter and read the contents of the letter.

The letter didn't write too much nonsense, it just wrote about the result of Wu Zuo's opening of the coffin. Everything was as Bai Kou expected. The token exchanged during the engagement was indeed on the deceased. She was still holding Tong Mingli's memorial tablet in both hands, and under her palm was pressing the marriage certificate issued by the government. The date on the marriage certificate is quite intriguing. It was issued after her death, and it was the same day as the cancellation of household registration.

Because the coffin was opened in the yamen compound, besides the yamen servants and relatives of the funeral, there were also idlers on the street watching the excitement. Tomorrow, the whole capital will know about it.

Judging from the expressions and reactions of the relatives, those young cousins ​​and classmate friends probably don’t know about it. The person who organized the funeral and the two elders are the biggest insiders. Yin has ordered them all to be imprisoned, and the household clerk who first canceled his household registration and then issued a marriage certificate was also dismissed on the spot and detained together, waiting for interrogation.

After Gu Yun finished reading the letter, he looked at his mother in blank dismay, both of them sighed.

"This news must have been delivered to you directly. There must be no one in the second room to tell it. You should go there again."

"Yes, I'll go right now."

Gu Yun took the letter and walked away. When he entered the main room, he saw that only Gu Xu, who had changed into plain clothes, was drinking tea alone. He also looked strange when he saw Gu Yun coming back.

"Why are you here again? But what's the latest news?"

"The results of the coffin inspection at Yingtian Mansion." Gu Yun shook the letter in his hand.

"Show me now!"

Gu Xu jumped up and took the letter away, unfolded it, read it ten lines at a glance, and threw the letter on the table angrily.

"It's too much! It's too much! It's too deceiving!"

"Their family is very strange. How dare civilians with no official position dare to be so arrogant? Who is behind them, do you know?"

"I don't know. The man's family is a big gentry family who settled in the capital for the sake of his son's study. Since he entered a private academy, the people who have the most contact with his family are scholars, and have no official contacts."

"How did their family and Tong's family know each other?"

Gu Xu shrugged, as if he didn't know what to ask.

Gu Yun suddenly felt helpless, resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and had no intention of staying any longer, so he might as well go back and chat with Bai Kou.

The two brothers were talking, and Mrs. Gu accompanied her brother and sister-in-law back to the main room from behind. After the two juniors helped the elders to sit down one after another, Gu Xu told them the news brought by Gu Yun.

Mrs. Gu was completely stunned. Tong Hanlin's face turned pale and his lips trembled with anger. Mrs. Tong was stunned for a while, then suddenly let out a sharp howl, and then began to cry loudly. As soon as his body softened, there was no sound, he passed out abruptly, and the person slid from the chair to the ground.

Fortunately, Gu Yun was standing beside the couple of the Tong family. Seeing this, he quickly supported Mrs. Tong, and with the help of Gu Xu, carried him on his back. A group of people hurriedly escorted him to Tong Mingli's room, and placed him on the imperial concubine's couch under the window. Fortunately, the imperial physician hadn't left yet, so he rushed to rescue him.

It is not suitable for Gu Yun to stay in a girl's room for a long time. After putting down Mrs. Tong, he hurriedly left. Gu Xu followed him out, thanked his younger brother for his help, and then sent him out. Now that the second room is in such a chaotic situation, his family does not need to be so polite
Gu Yun went back to his mother again and learned the latest news. He went to the official office of the Ministry of Rites to report the message to the family members of the Duke. The Duke came back from leave in the afternoon. Tong family.

It's easy to keep guests. Mrs. Tong's fainting, it's inconvenient to move her until she wakes up.

The eldest lady sent another girl to the east kitchen to tell her to cook some light dishes and send them to the second room, especially the meals for the imperial physician should be rich in meat and vegetables.

Gu Yun ran back and forth between the long room and the second room a few times. He was tired on his legs. Seeing that he was fine for the time being, he resigned from his mother and went back to the Zhongming Courtyard to rest.

Bai Kou was on vacation, so the girls would naturally cook the lunch. Gu Yun ate a few mouthfuls indiscriminately, and then went back to his room for a lunch break. He fell asleep in a daze, but was woken up by Feihua and Miaoer, and the elder returned home.

After Gu Yun put on his clothes and went out, he saw that Bai Kou was already fully dressed and waiting for him. She was the party involved in the two matters, so naturally she had to explain the whole process in detail in front of the elder.

The two walked into the main room of Jicheng Hall one after the other, and the elder had finished changing and was waiting for them.

Bai Kou started from the gossip she heard on the street in the workshop, every bit, every detail was not missed.

At the beginning, the Elder Master only knew about the funeral when he heard the news from his family members at the official office. Only when he got home did he realize that there was still a section to follow. In addition to the results of the coffin inspection at Yingtian Mansion, the Elder Master was also furious. After listening to Bai Kou's details, So I asked the girl to go to the second room and ask Tong Hanlin to chat in the main hall of the front yard.

Tong Hanlin, who was in a restless mood this afternoon, heard that Ye Guogong had returned and invited him to talk, and immediately entrusted his wife and daughter to his younger sister to take care of him, and he immediately followed the girl to the main hall in the front yard.

The men were talking in the main hall, so Bai Kou couldn't listen in. Anyway, she knew that the prince would tell her the story when he came back, so she leisurely went to the small kitchen to have a late lunch, and went back to the room to continue resting.
