Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 25
Gu Jin didn't have the time to respond to Jiang's pleading right now, God knows how he rushed back all the way after hearing what happened in the mansion.

Even he himself couldn't believe that under his nose, someone would poison his own daughter?And the person who poisoned them was their relatives.

Gu Jin suppressed the anger that was surging in his heart, and when he came to Gu Yanxi, he looked up and down the child who filled him with guilt, "Jiaojiao, are you doing well? Are you really all right?"

Mrs. Lin is most aware of how much her master loves this precious daughter. Now seeing his nervous expression, she put away her resentment towards Jiang and said to Gu Jin: "Master, please don't worry, I have already recruited Dr. Wen to take care of Jiaojiao. After being diagnosed and treated, she is fine, but the parrot you gave Jiaojiao was poisoned to death."

Gu Jin, as the eldest son that Gu Taishi valued most, and at the same time, as the head of the Gu family in the future, his experience and experience naturally far surpassed ordinary people.

He used to work in Dali Temple, what he saw the most were corpses that died under various schemes, especially those that died from poisoning. As long as he closed his eyes, a large area would emerge; His face, in his opinion, would not arouse much emotion in him before, but today, when he heard that someone had put arsenic on his child, he was actually startled into a cold sweat by himself.

In his mind, he couldn't control the appearance of his Jiaojiao lying on the desk with his whole body cold. At that moment, he almost went crazy; fortunately, he controlled his emotions in time and didn't let himself think about it anymore; However, this does not mean that he will forgive those murderers who want to hurt his daughter, even if the murderer is his relative, he will never let it go.

Therefore, after confirming that Gu Yanxi was fine, Gu Jin finally had time to look at the mother and child kneeling on the ground.

Who would have thought that the two families who lived in harmony in the past would come to this point today. He has always known that his sister-in-law is not a really kind person, but seeing how she has given birth to children for the Gu family all these years For the sake of it, he is willing to give her some dignity.

Unexpectedly, his kindness and connivance gave her a chance to hurt Jiaojiao. At this moment, Gu Jin really regretted it, why would he be more tolerant to such a femme fatale woman back then.

Facing Gu Jin's angry eyes, Jiang knew that he could not easily forgive them, but right now, she really couldn't care about herself anymore. She knew very well that if this incident continued, her son might be removed. Zongji, if this is the case, then her child will be ruined in this life.

She absolutely can't just watch this child ruin her future in order to protect her, so no matter how scared she is now, she has to explain everything.

"Brother, let me tell you the truth, I did all of this, including the feeding of hazelnut cakes to Jiaojiao, but I didn't know that Jiaojiao was allergic at that time. The porcelain made of nut cakes, if children don’t pay attention, they may be choked to death. I was obsessed with ghosts and wanted to make my sister-in-law unhappy, so I handed a piece of hazelnut cake in Jiaojiao’s hands Unexpectedly, instead of choking her to death, I found out about her allergies; Brother, in the final analysis, I am the most unforgivable person. Please forgive me and don't drag my child; Yan Xuan he I don’t know anything, he did it all to protect me.”

Hearing Jiang's account of everything, Gu Yanxi finally felt that this unforgivable woman was not inhumane, at least she knew how to protect her child.

When Gu Yanxuan heard his mother's words, he quickly joined him and said, "Uncle, what mother said is not true, don't believe her, I did something wrong, punish me if you want to punish me; I beg my aunt to let mother go, Yan Xuan is willing to bear all the faults and consequences."

Seeing the mother and son scrambling to plead guilty in front of him, Gu Jin's face was very ugly, and he interrupted their crying with a loud shout, "Who did this whole thing, no one else knows, The two of you know best; therefore, whether it is the incident that caused Jiaojiao's allergy back then, or the incident that murdered Jiaojiao with arsenic today, both of these incidents are related to you, and neither of you can escape."

Jiang Shi was taken aback, obviously did not expect to hear such a ruthless answer from Gu Jin, and was stunned on the spot, "Brother, do you mean that you don't intend to let Yan Xuan go?"

Gu Jin looked at Jiang with cold eyes, and said: "It doesn't matter whether he is the real murderer of these two incidents or not, but he was involved in it. He knew that someone was going to harm Jiaojiao. You Jiaojiao is on the verge of life and death again and again; what is the difference between such a person and an accomplice?"

"Of course there is a difference. Yanxuan is my child. If I want to kill someone, do you want him to inform and betray his own mother? Brother, you can't treat Yanxuan like this. It's really unfair to treat him like this. It's so unfair."

Having said that, Jiang walked up to Gu Jin on his knees, grabbed his dark red official uniform, and begged tearfully: "Brother, I know that I have sinned deeply, no matter what kind of punishment I will accept without complaint." , even if I was sent to the official, I would admit it. But Yanxuan is really innocent. Anyway, he is also surnamed Gu, the eldest son of the Gu family; moreover, this child is about to join Chunwei soon, you If the time is to treat him seriously, it is equivalent to destroying him!"

Gu Jin took a step back, pulled the hem of his clothes out of Jiang's hand, and said coldly: "It is because his surname is Gu that I rushed back from the Yamen alone. If it was someone else, whoever came back with me would be He is from the Jingzhaoyin Mansion. I know that Yanxuan is about to take part in Chunwei, and I also know that he has spent a lot of effort for this time. However, since ancient times, the imperial court examinations have required not only outstanding literary talent, but more importantly What matters is the character of that person.”

Speaking of this, Gu Jin looked at Gu Yanxuan with regret and disappointment in his eyes, "Yan Xuan is honest and honest, but he is confused when he encounters problems. At best, he has a good temper, but at worst, he has no backbone; Jiang Qin, If according to what you said, all of this is your fault, then Yan Xuan, who knows your fault, behaved very coldly in this whole matter. Yes, he can't betray his mother, but He didn't save you, nor did he protect his cousin. He was like an ignorant bystander, letting things get worse and worse, watching the undercurrents and dangers surging in Gu's house and ignoring them; Even if a person is an official in the court in the future, he can only be a useless shit-stirring stick; the common people will suffer untold misery when they meet a parental official like him."

"So, instead of adding another incompetent official to this world, it's better to cut off this road that doesn't belong to him now."

When Jiang heard these words, he felt extremely harsh.

The reason why she made herself kneel on the ground to beg them was because she wanted to keep her child, but since she couldn't keep it now, what else would she beg them for?
So, she gritted her teeth, changed her image of a poor mother, wiped away the tears on her face fiercely, pointed at Gu Yanchao angrily, and asked Gu Jin mockingly, "Brother, what do you say about me?" Your son is a useless person, and what he said is useless, is it true that in your heart, only your son is a unicorn? Ask yourself, if this happened to him today, Gu Yanchao, would you still think about it? Do you use such cold-blooded words to deny his future? After all, in your heart, brother, you have never really looked up to our second wife, which is why I hate you so much all these years. "

Jiang shi didn't care about it at all, she stood up shaking almost unsupported body, pushed away Gu Yanxuan who wanted to stop her from continuing, like crazy, pointed at Gu Jin and giggled.

At the same time, he swept around the people in the courtyard and continued: "I know, all of you look down on us, even the servants who serve often say that if there is no Elder Master and Elder Madam in this Gu Mansion, I'm afraid this huge mansion can't support it long ago. You laughed at me for marrying a lustful and useless man, satirized that my pair of children are promising and beautiful, and even insinuated that I don't care about my virtue or background. She is not as good as Lin Yixiang; I have really heard enough of these ridicules over the years."

"Obviously we are a family, we are relatives who live together, why does our family have to be your family's foil? Even when we go out to meet other wives, they only compliment you, Lin Yixiang, and no one wants to talk to me? Brother, you think that you have treated us very well these years, but in fact, only we know that our family is like beggars waiting for food, waiting for your pity, waiting for your reward, and then after you give us After we are prosperous and rich, we still have to send a smiling face to thank you for taking care of our family. We are not rare for such humiliating charity."

This was the first time Gu Jin heard such words from Jiang Shi.

He looked at the woman in front of him in disbelief who was crying for a while and showing a hideous expression, and couldn't believe that there were such twisted thoughts in her heart.

"Jiang Qin, you are really overwhelmed by jealousy, and all your reason is occupied by vain vanity. It turns out that over the years, you have hated us time and time again because of these insignificant things, and even twisted your mind. To the extent that you don't hesitate to stain your hands with blood. Do you feel wronged? No! The ones who are really wronged are us."
