Chapter 143 Check it out
Here, Lu Heng just let out a sound of surprise, and suddenly felt a chill all over his body. When he turned around, he saw a tall and straight man standing beside him, looking at him coldly.

Lu Heng's throat tightened, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching: "Brother, when did you come here? How come there is no sound at all?"

Thinking that Lu Hanrui must have heard his entanglement with Qin Jian just now, Lu Heng was shocked, and took two steps back very consciously, hiding behind Qin Jian, bowed his head and said nothing.

Seeing his sister's unpromising appearance, Lu Hanrui's eyes suddenly revealed accusations.

"Lu Heng, speaking of which, you are a few months older than Ruan Ruan, and I think you are clearly a few years younger than her, why do you look like a child who can't grow up!"

"We are like children. If a child can still cry and get a candy, if I cry now, will anyone take care of me?"

As soon as Lu Hanrui compared himself to a child, Lu Heng suddenly felt a certain kind of dissatisfaction.

Unexpectedly, Lu Heng dared to refute, a dark color flashed in Lu Hanrui's eyes, and he made a gesture to catch Lu Heng and imprison her.

Seeing that the two were about to stage a martial arts fight in front of her, Qin Jian hurriedly pulled Lu Hanrui back, showing a very curious look.

"Cousin, you must have something important to come to me, why don't you tell me what happened first?"

Lu Hanrui was dazzled by Lu Heng's anger, if Xiao Ruan hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten the purpose of coming to him.

After giving Lu Heng a warning look, Lu Hanrui glanced at the servant girl who was staring at him, and suddenly frowned.

"Let's go back to the room and talk about it alone."

Xiao Ruan blinked her eyes, immediately realized that the matter was unusual, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Heng'er go back to your courtyard first, I'll look for you later."

After walking a few steps, Lu Hanrui found that Lu Heng was following him, and immediately lowered his eyes.

"Why? I followed Ruan Ruan and not you. Could it be that you can still make decisions for Ruan Ruan?"

When Lu Heng heard that he was being rejected, he immediately cried out.

Seeing this, Xiao Ruan's eyes flashed, and he realized a little more in an instant. He stepped forward and gently took Lu Heng's arm: "Cousin, just listen to my cousin and go back first, and don't provoke him again."

Lu Heng was scolded because he wanted to fight against Lu Hanrui. Seeing Xiao Ruan looked at him with concern, he suddenly felt that it was meaningless for him to fight against Lu Hanrui. He gave Lu Hanrui a hard look, and then pursed his mouth angrily leave.

Back in the courtyard, Xiao Ruan immediately ordered Zhuyun and Lianqiao to guard the door, not allowing anyone to approach their room.

"Cousin, you sent my cousin away, but what happened?" Seeing Lu Hanrui's hesitation on his face, Xiao Ruan immediately poured him a cup of fragrant tea and asked.

Just now, Lu Hanrui and Lu Heng just had a quarrel, if what Lu Hanrui told him was not very secretive, there is no need to ask Lu Heng to leave.

"It's really not suitable for other people to know about it. Heng'er, that straight-hearted person will inevitably ruin something." Lu Hanrui shook his head, revealing a touch of bitterness, glanced at the tea in front of him, and then looked at Xiao Ruan with a serious expression .

"The last time my cousin asked me to send someone to protect Mrs. Pei, just now I got the news that Mrs. Pei encountered a gang of gangsters when she went out yesterday, and was almost robbed."

"Cousin, did you find out who did this?" Xiao Ruan's hands paused, and his eyes became stern.

"It has been found out that it is indeed Aunt Gu of the Xiao Mansion." Seeing that Xiao Ruan listened to his words, Lu Hanrui was not surprised at all, and inexplicably admired Xiao Ruan.

If it were his silly younger sister, she might be blown up again, and she would immediately publicize this matter.

"Cousin's identity has been leaked? Does Mrs. Gu know that you sent someone to save Mrs. Pei?" After a while, Xiao Ruan suddenly turned her head, with a look of worry flashing across her eyes.

He only thought that if Lu Hanrui sent someone to help Pei Shi, but at this moment, he was a little worried that Pei Shi's investigation of Lu Hanrui's identity would be bad for him.

"Cousin, don't worry, I won't let Mrs. Pei investigate me." Lu Hanrui smiled and shook his head, suddenly took out a letter from his pocket, and handed it to Xiao Ruan.

"This letter was originally handed over to me by my subordinates, but the content inside is related to you. I think you should read it carefully."

Taking the envelope suspiciously, Xiao Ruan really found that the wax on it had been removed.When it was just the contents of the text message, his expression changed drastically.

This letter was written by Mrs. Pei herself. In the letter, she admitted that Mrs. Gu had indeed encouraged her to drug Xiao Zhongheng, and also revealed a shocking secret.

"I know that you will not believe this and want to investigate, but my identity is really not suitable. I privately think that you should contact your brother and let him investigate this matter."

"What my cousin said is that I will get someone to contact my brother later."

Xiao Ruan couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and immediately thanked him gratefully after putting away the letter paper, and then, a touch of embarrassment appeared on his face.

"Cousin, this letter..."

Lu Hanrui could see what he was worried about at a glance, and quickly shook his head: "Don't worry, I am the only one who has seen this letter, and I will not announce the contents to anyone."

As if he had obtained a guarantee, Xiao Ruan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's why I thank my cousin!"

It wasn't because Xiao Ruan didn't believe Lu Hanrui, it was because what Mrs. Pei said in the letter was shocking and should not be spread.

At this time, Xiao Ruan also suddenly understood why Lu Hanrui had to let Lu Heng leave just now.

Sighing, Xiao Ruan couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately called someone to invite Xiao Zhongheng after saying goodbye to Lu Hanrui.

It was already afternoon when Xiao Zhongheng came to Father Lu to meet Xiao Ruan.

"Ruan'er, you sent someone to call me here in such a hurry, but what's the matter? I just settled some matters in my house, so..."

Xiao Zhongheng apologized to Xiao Ruan with guilt on his face, but Xiao Ruan didn't say anything, just took out a piece of letter paper from his body and handed it to him.

Xiao Zhongheng and his accompanying couple have been there for many years, and they can tell at a glance that the handwriting on it is from Mrs. Pei's hand, but after reading the contents of the letter, his face immediately reappears.

"Where did my sister get this news? Pei, she... why did he say such things?"

Xiao Zhongheng looked at the paper in his hand in disbelief, read the content on it again and still found it unbelievable.

"Gu Youcai is Gu's elder brother. I don't know about it. Mrs. Pei actually said that the two of them have an improper relationship. It must be to get revenge on Mrs. Gu. Did you know that..."

Xiao Zhongheng subconsciously chose not to believe it, but when he raised his head, he met Xiao Ruan's serious eyes.

"When I first saw this letter, I found it as unbelievable as my brother did. But after thinking about it, it's not impossible. That's why I want to kiss my brother and secretly investigate this matter. The relationship between the two people in the story has been investigated clearly."

Xiao Ruan's gaze swept over the letter paper in Xiao Zhongheng's hand again, and surprise flashed across his face again.

That's right, apart from Mrs. Pei writing in the letter how Mrs. Gu publicized how good the poison was around her, and how she treated the poison as a treasure and mixed it in Xiao Zhongheng's bowl for him to take every day, there is another thing that is enough to shock people. Jaw-dropping event.

He said that he saw with his own eyes that Gu Shi and Gu Youcai were intimate in words and deeds on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and thought that the relationship between the two of them was abnormal, so he wrote to Xiao Ruan.

Normally, when Xiao Ruan saw such words, she would never believe it, and just took it as a joke, but now the more she thinks about it, the more she feels that there must be something wrong with it.

First of all, Mrs. Pei said in the letter that she saw Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu Youcai holding hands and being intimate in words and deeds on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th.

And the Xiao Mansion would hold a banquet at home every year on this day, and Xiao Hong was so drunk every year that he was sent back to his room to sleep soundly.

In this way, it was strange that the person who was supposed to stay at the mansion to look after Xiao Hong appeared at the Lantern Festival.

Furthermore, Xiao Ruan still clearly remembered that it was the second day of Mid-Autumn Festival that she heard that Mrs. Gu was injured.

She has already investigated and found out that Mrs. Pei caused her to be injured, but Mrs. Gu's words were evasive and refused to reveal the real reason for her injury.

Xiao Ruan has always been extremely curious about this matter, now after reading Pei's personal letter, it seems that there is an answer to all this.

It must be because Mrs. Pei saw Mrs. Gu who was making out with Gu Youcai on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but it was revealed that Mrs. Pei hurt her, so Mrs. Gu couldn't explain why she appeared at the lantern festival.

In order to conceal the fact that she appeared at the lantern festival, Pei had no choice but to lie and say that the injury on her body was an accident.

At this moment, Xiao Ruan thought through the cause and effect, and sneered in his heart.

Isn't Gu's injury that night a big accident?

Accidentally met Pei's, was unexpectedly given a meal by her, and unexpectedly the dirty relationship between himself and Gu Youcai was discovered...

The fact that Mrs. Pei was suddenly kidnapped outside yesterday was even more suspicious - Mrs. Gu felt that she would not simply want to take revenge on Mrs. Pei, but wanted to kill her to silence her!
"Brother, this matter is not trivial. I deeply think that you must investigate this matter immediately."

Xiao Ruan's heart trembled, suddenly there was a light in his eyes that seemed to see through everything, staring straight at Xiao Zhongheng, his tone was irresistible.

After the most astonishing moment just now, Xiao Zhongheng has gradually regained his composure, thinking over and over again in his mind about Gu Shi's daily relationship with Gu Youcai, his eyes were obscured for a while.

If there is nothing between the two of them, that's fine, if there is...

Instead of waiting for the day when Dong Chuang's incident is revealed and they are forced to know, it is better to investigate now and know in advance.

"Ruan Er, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly!"
