The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 150 As long as what you say is true

"Miss, Shame said that it has been snowing heavily for the past few days, and the weather is too cold, so there is no need to go to each room to say hello."

In the early morning of this day, Xiao Ruan woke up early, Lian Qiao heard the movement and hurried in to persuade her to sleep for a while.

"Of course I know that you don't need to go to say hello to grandma, but I have something to go out today."

Xiao Ruan shook her head and asked Lianqiao to fetch water for herself.

"I don't know where Miss is going. We feel cold in the room today, why do you want to go out?" Zhu Yun heard the movement and walked in.

Xiao Ruan raised her head and saw that the two little maids were all shrinking their necks, and unconsciously looked at the charcoal fire in the room.

This year's winter was extraordinarily cold.

In Xiao Ruan's room, the charcoal fire was never broken. Everyone was wearing thick cotton coats, but they still felt the air-conditioning creeping into their bodies along the cuffs, making people want to shrink into the quilts and not go out.

But thinking of what she was going to do today, Xiao Ruan felt that even if the weather was colder, she still had to go out of the house.

The two little maids didn't ask the purpose of the trip, so they couldn't dissuade them. Seeing that Xiao Ruan insisted on going out, she hurriedly prepared a series of things for going out.

It snowed heavily for several days in a row, the deepest part of the snow on the ground was as deep as a person's knee, and Xiao Ruan's carriage had some difficulty walking in the snow.

As soon as the carriage stopped and went, Xiao Ruan finally arrived at the entrance of Wankelai Inn in the city just when Xiao Ruan was wondering if he was going to get out of the carriage.

Gently lifting the curtain of the car, Xiao Ruan saw a dark blue figure waiting there in the vast white snow. Although there were attendants behind him to help him hold the umbrella, Xiao Zhongheng's body was still stained with snow.

"The carriage ahead is inconvenient, I'm afraid my sister will have to walk with me."

"Everything is arranged by my brother."

Hearing Xiao Zhongheng's voice, Xiao Ruan immediately left the carriage and went with him along with the little maid.

The two little maids didn't know when Xiao Ruan had an agreement with Xiao Zhongheng, and it wasn't until then that they realized why their young lady was in a hurry to leave the house early in the morning.

The snow under their feet creaked under their feet, the sun in the sky had already risen so high, but the snow on the ground showed no sign of melting.

Xiao Zhongheng took Qin Jian to walk in a slum-like place on the outskirts of the city, and he could see poor people in shabby clothes begging outside with broken bowls.

Some people saw their expensive clothes, and even knelt down to beg for them.

Xiao Ruan saw that the man's lips were purple with cold, and Guolu's fingers and feet were covered with red and swollen chilblains, he felt pity in his heart and was about to give Lianqiao some silver to him, but Xiao Zhongheng stopped him.

"If you give them money now, we may not be able to leave here."

A wry smile flashed across Xiao Zhongheng's face, Xiao Ruan followed her gaze and looked into the distance, and sure enough, he saw many beggars around noticed that they wanted alms, and they were eager to surround them.

Even though Xiao Zhongheng brought a few servants with him, if all these beggars surrounded him, they would definitely not be able to escape easily.

For a moment, Xiao Ruan immediately stopped Lianqiao, and put away her overflowing kindness.

"You stay outside."

Several people walked forward along the snow-covered road, and when they came to a courtyard with low eaves, Xiao Zhongheng stopped and explained to the people behind him, and then brought Xiao Ruan in.

Snow covered everything, but the dilapidated interior of the room couldn't hide it, and there seemed to be a smell of traditional Chinese medicine in the air.

Xiao Ruan looked at the yard carefully, looked at Xiao Zhongheng, saw him nodding to himself, and then followed him into the drowsy and low room.

"Master, hurry up and take your medicine."

There was no sound in the yard, they walked into the room, and suddenly heard an anxious voice coming from the side room, Xiao Zhongheng led Xiao Ruan in immediately.

"You...Master Xiao!"

The woman squatting in front of the low bed was feeding medicine with a spoon in her hand, she turned her head in surprise when she heard the footsteps, stared at Xiao Zhongheng, hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and knelt down towards him.

"you know me?"

Xiao Zhongheng glanced at the unconscious man on the bed, then spoke coldly to the woman.

The woman was thin and thin, wearing a dusty and dirty padded jacket, and her face bore the traces of being tortured by years of poverty and misery. When she saw Xiao Zhongheng, her eyes shone brightly.

"Lord Xiao, of course I know you. You are the eldest son of the Minister of War. Sanniang has already told me about you looking for me."

There was a wry smile on the woman's face: "The slave girl was indeed a servant in the Gu family before, if you want to know anything, just ask."

When Xiao Ruan heard this, she immediately understood that what they were going to meet today was actually an important witness.

A few days ago, Xiao Zhongheng came to the Lu Mansion to send her the investigation results, saying that Gu Youcai was not Gu's real brother, Xiao Ruan was extremely surprised, so he decided to take a look with Xiao Zhongheng.

"It's you who said that Aunt Gu of the Shangshu Mansion has an improper relationship with Gu Youcai?"

Slightly squinting her eyes, Xiao Ruan scrutinized her face carefully, and suddenly spoke.

The woman hesitated, looked at Xiao Ruan, she seemed to be a little confused about the relationship between Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng.

"Just say it, as long as you tell the truth, I will not only give you money to move out of here, but also send someone to protect your safety."

Hearing this, the woman was overjoyed, and then she told everything she knew.

It turned out that this girl was named Yuanyang, and she was a third-class maid in front of Lu Youcai before. Once, she accidentally ran into Gu Youcai and Gu Shi having an affair in the room, and was dragged down by Gu Youcai to kill her and sink her in the pond.

Fortunately, Yuanyangfu was so lucky that he woke up at a critical moment, and has been hiding in this slum ever since, not daring to show his face.

"When did you meet?"

She was already prepared in her heart, but she was still a little surprised when she heard it with her own ears. Xiao Ruan frowned slightly, staring at her eyes and said.

"I have been hiding here for ten years, and it was ten years ago that I ran into them."

Yuanyang calculated carefully, her eyes flashed with regret, and she soon expressed her certainty: "Master Xiao, I'm sure that Xiao Yu in your house will never be Master Xiao's biological son!"

Hearing that Gu's and Gu Youcai had a random relationship ten years ago, Xiao Ruan and Xiao Zhongheng couldn't help showing a look of shock on their faces.

If what she said is true, Xiao Yu is most likely not Xiao Hong's son!

"When I was a maid in the Gu family, I had long heard that Gu Shi and Gu Youcai were not brother and sister. I also heard that the reason why Gu Shi and Gu Youcai broke up was because Xiao Hong couldn't have children, so..."

"Who did you hear that from?"

This time before Xiao Ruan opened his mouth, Xiao Zhongheng's eyes revealed a serious look.

If it is said that the son born in a chaotic relationship between Gu and Gu Youcai might not be Xiao Hong's son, he still believes that Xiao Hong is infertile at this time, which is a bit absurd.

If Xiao Hong had no fertility, how did he and Xiao Ruan come into this world?

"Young master Xiao, please calm down, I can't speak, but the Gu family really spread it like this in private, and Xiao Ying also..."

"If it can be used as evidence in private, I can just find anyone on the street to testify, so why come to you!"

Xiao Zhongheng seemed to feel cheated, his voice suddenly became angry, and Yuanyang was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy.

The woman's thin body was trembling, and her face was full of panic, as if she was worried that she would be killed by Xiao Zhongheng immediately.

"Brother, I think Yuanyang's guess is not impossible."

After sizing up the man on the bed, Xiao Ruan suddenly looked up.

"you……"

Xiao Zhongheng didn't expect that Xiao Ruan would help this woman to speak, his expression was a little bad for a while, he glared at the woman who was in a ball on the ground, and spoke in a deep voice.

"You can't live here anymore. I will arrange someone to take you to another place soon. As long as what you say is true, I will protect your life."

Yuanyang felt uneasy, and suddenly heard this voice, he was relieved, and quickly kowtowed in thanks.

On the way back, Xiao Zhongheng couldn't figure out how Xiao Ruan would agree with Yuanyang's words, and finally couldn't help asking her why.

"Brother, the so-called groundless rumors, you must not underestimate the gossip that people spread in private. In many cases, these seemingly most unreliable gossips are the truth."

Xiao Ruan shook her head lightly.

But in any mansion, the most well-informed servants are often the servants, otherwise Xiao Zhongheng would not have sent someone to Gu Youcai's mansion as an undercover agent to inquire about the news.

"I know what you mean, but the people I sent to Gu's mansion only found out that Mrs. Gu and Gu Youcai are not biological brothers and sisters, and they have never heard anyone talk about their father's infertility. What's more, you are barren. Where did the two of us come from?"

"Brother is confused. It was ten years ago that Yuanyang was kicked out, and the servants in Gu Youcai's house didn't know how many batches they changed. How could you find out the news at that time?"

Xiao Zhongheng sighed and stopped: "Besides, if you really get some disease and can't bear children, it's not impossible."

What's wrong.

Xiao Zhongheng immediately thought of the fact that Mrs. Pei poisoned his food, if someone really poisoned Xiao Hong, he might lose his ability to conceive.

Frowning tightly, Xiao Zhongheng's expression became more serious.

"Maybe we can find out all the maids and wives who were kicked out by the Gu family in our house before. I think we will definitely gain something."

Thinking that Yuanyang broke the secret of Gu's family and Gu Youcai and was kicked out of the mansion, Xiao Ruan was very sure that someone in Xiao's mansion must have noticed the abnormal relationship between her and Gu Youcai.

Being reminded by Xiao Ruan, Xiao Zhongheng's eyes suddenly brightened with you: "What my sister said is true! As soon as I go back today, I will immediately check who is in Xiao's residence who was kicked out by that Gu family!"

There was snow all around, and at some point, snowflakes fell again.

In the fluttering snow petals, Xiao Ruan narrowed her eyes, and there was a bit more worry in the eyes looking at Xiao Zhongheng.

"It's been a long time. I'm afraid it's not easy to find these people. I'm afraid my brother will have to worry about it."
