Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 18
It's just that no matter how smart this old godmother is, she never imagined that from the very beginning, Gu Yanxi made such a big fuss just to catch her, a cunning old thing.

She thought that with her calmness and eloquence, she would be able to cleanse herself of all suspicions, but she didn't know that Gu Yanxi's real target was only her from the beginning to the end.

Seeing Nanny Tao breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Yanxi said slowly: "Now, everyone of you is yelling that you have been wronged, and as your master, naturally I can't do something that really wronged you; after much deliberation, I I thought of a way to prove your innocence."

Gu Yanxi took another two steps, and said: "This person with evil intentions, no matter how strict his actions are, he will show some clues. Arsenic is a poison that can kill people, so naturally he can't carry it with him all the time. In this case, Where would the poisoner hide this deadly poison?"

Although this question was to ask everyone, everyone present could understand that the young third girl had really figured out a way to catch the real poisoner.

Gu Yanchao, who was standing by Lin's side, reacted immediately, and shouted Lei Shu, "Take someone to search the rooms where all the people kneeling here live, even if you dig three feet, you can't let anyone go. Suspicious."

Gu Yanxi turned around and smiled gratefully at his eldest brother, seeing Lei Shu taking the order and leaving vigorously, looking at Nanny Tao's white face, Gu Yanxi sneered in his heart; he asked Luomei to bring a stool and sit quietly In the courtyard; it seems that we are going to wait for a result here, and all these things that happened in the Furong courtyard will be put to rest today.

When Lei Shu led people to search the courtyard where his servants lived, Jiang Shi had already started to fidget in Hengguang courtyard.

She never expected that the matter would be revealed immediately after she made a move. Moreover, that damned bitch was not only fine, but seemed to be starting to deal with it.

In fact, until now, the Jiang family was not very afraid of Gu Yanxi, he only thought that she was a baby who had just been weaned, even if she was a little bit smarter, how could she truly understand what is dangerous in the world.

Now, she is most worried about Nanny Tao; even though she is a confidant raised in the mansion, she has never been short of her over the years, but she also knows that Nanny Tao is a fool, and right now The reason why he listened to her and worked hard for her was because he wanted to get something from her.

Such a disloyal servant is really a hidden danger; Jiang is now starting to wonder if he was too impulsive at the beginning, and casually dragged a slave like Tao Nanny into his camp.

Right now, she didn't know what was wrong with her heart. After hearing the news from the Furong Courtyard, she began to feel restless, feeling that something was about to happen.

When Gu Yanxuan came back from the outside to greet Jiang, what he saw was his mother who was walking back and forth in the room, very restless.

Compared with Jiang's vengeance and Gu Yanwen's jealousy, Gu Yanxuan's character is different from anyone in the second room.

The loyal and honest Gu Yanwen is the eldest son of Gu's family, half a year older than Gu Yanchao, but he is honest and honest, he only loves to study, not like Gu Yanchao likes to dance with guns and clubs, let alone Gu Yanchao's current achievements.

So in Gu's mansion, even if Gu Yanxuan occupies the position of the eldest grandson of the second bedroom, he is not favored by many people, because compared with the excellent Gu Yanchao, Gu Yanxuan is indeed much more mediocre; Studying in the Outer Egret Academy, so far only one person has been tested for fame.

However, although Gu Yanxuan's qualifications are mediocre, he is a good person who respects his parents and takes care of his younger sister. During this time, he was supposed to study in Bailu Academy to prepare for the imperial examination in the spring, but he did not expect it to be at this time Something happened to Gu Yanwen, and Gu Yanxuan, who was worried about his family, rushed back from the academy immediately. On the one hand, he took care of his sister who was seriously ill in bed, and on the other hand, he comforted his emotionally unstable mother.

Just now, he came back from his sister's yard and wanted to talk to his mother, but unexpectedly, he bumped into his mother's strangeness.

Thinking that his mother was unwell, Gu Yanxuan quickly walked forward, supported his mother who had a bad face, and said with concern: "Mother, do you feel unwell? Why do you look so ugly?"

The appearance of Gu Yanxuan seemed to have found the backbone for the Jiang family. She held her son's hand tightly, looked at her husband's son in appearance, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Jiang's appearance made Gu Yanxuan even more worried, "Mother, what's the matter? How about I send someone to invite Doctor Wen to show you?"

"No! Mother is fine, I'm just, just..." Jiang gritted his teeth and looked up at his ignorant son: "Yanxuan, you just came back from outside, but you heard that there was a commotion in Furongyuan movement?"

Gu Yanxuan looked bewildered, "An accident happened again in Furongyuan? I just went to see my sister and saw that she was sleeping well so I didn't bother her much. But when I came to say hello to my mother, I saw many servants in our yard walking in a hurry. The look is different, I thought it was something happened in Hengguangyuan, it turned out that there was something wrong with the third sister."

Gu Yanxuan loved Gu Yanxi very much since he was a child. Although he didn't know how to get along with the third sister because of Gu Yanwen's relationship, but after hearing about the situation in Furongyuan, he still couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Mom, the third sister Is there something going on there? Would you like your son to go and have a look, maybe he can help you. "

Upon hearing this, Jiang became angry.

Even the uneasiness in her heart was thrown aside by her, she pushed away Gu Yanxuan who was supporting her, and said bitterly: "Why are you still not clear about it now? Is she, Gu Yanxi, dead or alive? What is it that hinders you? Have you forgotten Now, the reason why your sister has this serious illness is thanks to whom?"

Gu Yanxuan knew that his mother didn't like Gu Yanxi, but he didn't expect this dislike to be so deep-rooted that he couldn't even mention it.

"Mother, I know you are worried about Wenwen and angry that Wenwen's falling into the water has something to do with the third sister, but mother, don't you think that sometimes you spoil Wenwen too much? Let's not talk about whether Wenwen was really pushed by the third sister. Going down to the lake, even if the third sister really made a move, maybe the third sister didn't do it on purpose; two little girls with bad tempers get together, and stumbling is always inevitable. The third sister is innocent and kind, I believe she is not that kind. The kind of person who intentionally hurts."

Jiang Shi didn't expect that in the heart of her son, her biological mother became the chief culprit for pampering her daughter, while the little bitch who made her daughter sick in bed became an innocent person.

Jiang Shi was almost laughed out of anger, pointed at Gu Yanxuan with trembling fingers, and reprimanded him: "I think you are really stupid in reading and reading, you can't even tell the good from the bad; your own sister was almost killed by that little bitch, you It's fine if you don't help her to uphold justice, but you actually stand with the people in the big room to teach me? Gu Yanxuan, have you forgotten whose son you are?"

"Mother, don't be unreasonable in this matter, can you? If your grandfather and uncle hear you addressing Third Sister like a little bitch like that, what should they think? Mother, just listen to me, No matter who is right or wrong in this matter, we must calm down. Don't forget, we are all family-oriented people. My grandfather said that a family should be tolerant and considerate. You used to be dissatisfied with your aunt, and you always liked to be with your aunt. Against you in private, hasn’t your eldest aunt never cared about you? Taking a step back, assuming that this was really done by the third sister on purpose, then we will treat it as repayment of the debt, okay, don’t hold on to these things anymore Things don't let go."

Jiang's eyes widened, "Repaying the debt? What is repaying the debt? What debt do I owe them?"

Such a harsh mother made Gu Yanxuan feel very strange. He looked at the distorted face of his biological mother with grief, and said in a painful voice: "Mother, have you forgotten? When the third sister was two years old, you almost killed her." She; if my father and I hadn't found out in time, at this time, the third sister would have passed away long ago."

The thing he did many years ago was exposed, Jiang's whole body seemed to be crushed, his legs gave way, and he almost fell to the ground.

She looked at her eldest son with a pale face, and her voice was as confident as before: "You, do you still remember? You still remember that incident?"

Thinking of that incident, Gu Yanxuan couldn't even raise his head. Although he didn't do that thing, the person who did it was his closest relative. What's the difference between him and him?
Gu Yanxuan knelt on the ground and said: "Mother, don't think that I was young at that time and could forget it in a blink of an eye. For some unforgettable things, even a young child can remember them clearly."

The voice paused in embarrassment, with a hint of pleading, "Mother, I don't know why you hate my aunt so much, but no matter how much you don't like my aunt, the third sister is always innocent; back then, you fed her with hazelnut cake The third sister who doesn't know anything is eating, watching the third sister twitching all over without paying attention, did you ever think at that time that the person lying on the ground in pain is just a child who can't even attack? You blame the third sister You killed Wenwen, but have you ever thought that back then, you almost killed her?"

"Mother, there is karma in this world. You can't blame others for all your mistakes. I know that Wenwen has suffered a lot this time and lost her health, but Doctor Wen also said that as long as you Take care of her and take care of her, Wenwen will gradually get better; Mother, just let go of the injustice and resentment in your heart, our family can live together in peace, isn't it good?"

Looking at his son who was kneeling in front of him and persuading him earnestly, Jiang couldn't tell what he was feeling at this moment.

All she knew was that all these years, she had always been relying on that sense of injustice to keep her going. How easy is it to let her give up now?

Also, a lot of what's happening right now is starting to spin out of control.

And that Gu Yanxi also seemed to be acting more and more uneasy; although she was the one who said the beginning, whether the matter will end or not has long been out of her hands.
