Empress has purpose

Chapter 18
The prime minister is angry!

Shocked, Du rushed to Gu Zhengyao's feet and cried, "My lord, I really don't know what's going on. The second young master was fine before, and I haven't had any contact with anyone except My aunt comes to visit the second young master every day, but she only went to the old lady's last night." She really didn't know why the second young master was poisoned.

Gu Zhengyao kicked her away, and said angrily: "Could it be that the old lady will harm her own grandson, or that Aunt Sun will harm her own child? Since you have said that the second young master has never had contact with anyone except you, then why not?" You're the only one left!"

"Slaves really don't have any, hurting the second young master will not do any good to slaves, master!" the nanny cried.

Mrs. Meng glanced at Gu Yunxi, her eyes slipped past Aunt Sun, and then turned back to Gu Zhengyao, and said softly: "Master, calm down, don't hurt yourself for a slave. Besides, I think this The nanny seems to be right, but she has no reason to hurt Brother Zhuo, otherwise let alone the master, I will not let her go first. She is the closest person to take care of Brother Zhuo, and only when Brother Zhuo is good can she follow her. How could you be so stupid as to harm Brother Zhuo?"

Meng's eyes turned to Gu Yunxi, Gu Yunxi's expression remained the same, Meng said lightly: "Yunxi, what do you think?"

Gu Yunxi raised her eyes and smiled lightly: "Going back to mother, Yunxi doesn't know either."

Meng's face changed, and Gu Yunxi turned to Gu Zhengyao and said, "Father, Yunxi thought that no matter whether it was the nanny's fault or not, she did not take good care of her. People should think that the second young master is easy to bully."

Aunt Sun's eyes were red, and she shed tears again: "I beg the master to be the master for the second young master and my concubine."

Gu Zhengyao nodded, and naturally wanted to ask Gu Yunxi for his opinion: "Then how do you think Yunxi should be punished?"

Gu Yunxi pondered for a moment, she felt that what happened today was a bit weird, but she couldn't tell what was weird.

If it is said that this matter is directed at her by Mrs. Meng, who wants to punish her for mismanagement and take the opportunity to take back the right to head the house, but old doctor Li also found out that it was not about milk. Since it is not about milk, then It wasn't Gu Qingzhuo's illness caused by eating the food from the big kitchen as the nanny said, so naturally it had nothing to do with her.

So what is someone going to do with this matter?She didn't think that Gu Qingzhuo would be poisoned for no reason, and there was such a big commotion, why?
Could it be that you want to use her hand to do something?But who would it be?She raised her eyes to look at the expressions of everyone, her father can naturally be excluded, and the rest of the Meng family, the Meng family has a somewhat anxious expression at this moment, if it is the Meng family who wants to prove that she was poisoned a few days ago, it is not Qian Nanny It seems that what Mammy did was not necessary at all, and it may even be self-defeating, making people think that there is someone else behind the murder, and at the same time, the first one will suspect that it is Meng who is the master.

Moreover, Gu Yunwan has just come back, and in her mind, she will definitely have a long-term discussion with the Meng family, and I am afraid that she will not take any action for a while.

Who would that be?Gu Yunxi was also a little confused at this time. Before she came, she thought that it was Meng Shi and Gu Yunwan who set her up, but now it seems that this is not the case.

She turned her head to look at Aunt Sun again, her eye circles were still red at this time, her face was still full of worry, her beautiful brows were tightly frowned, and she was holding a handkerchief, which was wrinkled a little by her.

Could it be her?Gu Yunxi couldn't help asking herself, but as a mother, would she attack her own child?Tiger poison does not eat its children, and she has no reason to do so.

Now it seems that everything is pointing to Gu Qingzhuo's nanny. Is there anything worthy of attention about a nanny?
Her suspicious eyes turned back to Mrs. Du, but Mrs. Du was only trembling with fear at this time, and her face was full of tears.

After much deliberation, Gu Yunxi did not come up with an answer. Seeing that everyone was waiting for her answer, she hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Father, the master was poisoned twice in a row in the mansion. I'm afraid you can't be careless. Come on!" The next year's Fangcao incident has already been found out to be the work of Nanny Qian, but now it seems that this may not be the case."

Gu Zhengyao was startled, looked at Gu Yunxi and said, "Do you think these two incidents were done by the same person?" Gu Zhengyao couldn't help but start to think, he even started to think whether he had offended someone in the officialdom, someone thought To take revenge, after all, it was my own daughter who had an accident the first time, and this time, it was my youngest son again.He even made a list of people who might attack him in his mind in a short period of time.

Gu Yunxi continued to speak again: "My daughter is just guessing, and there is no conclusive evidence. However, my daughter thinks that today's incident is only said to be that my younger brother is sick. As for the arrest of the murderer, let's discuss it in the long term. This nanny If you don't punish her, you may be suspicious, so let her be punished with half a month's salary first, so that she can make meritorious deeds, father, what do you think?"

Gu Yunxi noticed with sharp eyes that after she finished speaking, Aunt Sun moved her little finger on her right hand unnaturally, thinking to herself, there is indeed something strange.

She glanced at Aunt Sun calmly, then turned to look at Gu Zhengyao.

Gu Zhengyao nodded approvingly, and said: "Just do what Yun Xi said, Mrs. Du, today the third girl is pleading for you, so I will allow you to take the blame and perform meritorious service. Before the murderer is caught, you can follow the third girl's command. "

Mrs. Du hurriedly kowtowed to thank Gu Yunxi, and was very grateful to Gu Yunxi: "Thank you, master, for your kindness. I will take care of the second young master with all my heart in the future, and never let him suffer any more harm."

Gu Zhengyao waved his hand at her impatiently, and said: "Okay, go down, you heard what the third girl said, if you dare to say anything, I will ask you." After speaking, he glanced at the maids in the room , said: "You are all the same, can you remember clearly?"

"The servants remember clearly."

……

When Gu Yunxi returned to Jinxiu Courtyard again, it was already the end of the hour, and the sky was already bright.Father issued an order not to allow anyone in Fanghua Residence to spread the news about Gu Qingzhuo's poisoning, otherwise he would be punished with a hundred sticks and kicked out of the mansion. This punishment is not light.

After my father finished handling the affairs of the mansion, he hurried out to go to court again. Mrs. Meng returned to her Chonghua Courtyard, while Aunt Sun and Mrs. Du continued to take care of the sick Gu Qingzhuo.

At this time, Gu Yunxi felt exhausted and flustered. The maids waited for her to change her pajamas, then lay down on the bed again, and fell asleep.

As for the investigation of Gu Qingzhuo's poisoning and Aunt Sun's weirdness, let's talk about it after she wakes up.
