good wife

Chapter 10 Gu's Prestige
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Mrs. Gu coming out from the back room, and her confidant, Nanny Liu, was supporting her.

After sitting down, Mrs. Gu said solemnly, "Ming'er, don't talk nonsense."

Jingyi said calmly: "Second brother, what mother said is right. This matter was not done by Mrs. Bai. At most, she is just an accomplice."

After the words fell, everyone looked at her.Apart from surprise, Gu's face also showed admiration, while Su Ming was puzzled.

The old man chuckled and said, "What a smart girl! She really has insight into the details! Not bad, not bad!"

The little boy next to the old man snorted softly and turned his face away.

Gu asked: "Yiyi, tell me, why do you think so?"

Jingyi smiled lightly: "Mother, you have been taking this medicine for several months. You have been able to buy off the people who take care of you, the people in the kitchen, the people who buy medicine, and even the clerks in the pharmacy, etc. for several months. If a person is not familiar with everything about his mother and the Houfu, how can he accomplish the job so easily? Furthermore, being able to bribe so many people shows that this person has a lot of scheming, and his connections in the Houfu are also extremely wide. Then Bai Shi, I don't have the ability yet!"

Mrs. Gu nodded solemnly, while Su Ming looked at Jingyi and Mrs. Gu as if she had realized something: "You mean to say that this person has a very high status in the Hou Mansion. Except for grandfather and father, this person In the Hou Mansion, only the grandmother and mother are the most respected. Are you skeptical?"

Su Ming cleverly didn't say anything, while Jingyi smiled and nodded at him, while Gu Shi's eyes flashed and disappeared.

At this time, Haitang's voice came from outside: "The madam is talking with the second young master and young lady in the room, please wait a moment, mammy."

Gu's face was calm and said: "Let them in."

Haitang lifted the curtain, and it turned out that another waiter beside Gu's, Mother Qin, and her group brought lunch.Qin Nanny said with a smile on her face: "Ma'am, lunch is ready. You are not in good health. You should eat it earlier. Don't wait for it to cool down."

Mrs. Gu ignored her, but turned to Nanny He and said, "Nurse He, go to the kitchen and tell them to make more, and send it to the second young master's room in the front yard later."

Nanny He nodded her head and went out, she knew that Madam wanted to keep the old man and the little boy here for dinner.

The old man got up and wanted to go out with Su Ming. When he walked to the table, the old man stopped and turned to look at the dishes on the table.After a while, he looked at Gu Shi and Jingyi again.

Gu clearly knew that the old man had discovered something, but Jingyi looked at Nanny Qin, and saw a look of panic flashed across Nanny Qin's face, and she returned to normal after a while.

Jingyi smiled innocently: "Grandpa, what's wrong with this dish?"

The old man looked at Gu Shi: "Madam, do you like to eat chicken and celery?"

Gu Shi nodded in confusion, "But what's wrong?"

Jingyi once again noticed that Nanny Qin's hands were clenched into fists, and there were sweat stains on her head, as if she was trying her best to hold back something.

I just heard the old man say word by word: "Eating celery and chicken together will hurt your vitality. But for the lady who is already physically weak, it will be like adding insult to injury!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words.Gu Shi looked at Qin Nanny angrily.

Nanny Qin knelt on the ground with a 'plop', crying, "Ma'am, this servant has neglected his duty! This servant really doesn't know, this, this celery and chicken cannot be eaten together. This servant originally thought that Madam always likes to eat it. These, I ordered people to make some for my wife to taste every day, I never thought that these two ingredients are mutually exclusive. It’s not good for slaves, but they almost harmed the master! Slaves are guilty!”

Nanny Qin cried loudly at Tao as she spoke, a look of anger flashed across Jingyi's eyes, it was obvious that Nanny Qin did it on purpose.Now she insists that she doesn't know about it, and insists that her mother likes to eat these things.Now she is crying and thinking about making things worse. If her mother punishes her severely, she will be called a wicked woman who treats her servants harshly.

Gu's eyes were closed tightly, and there was still a look of unbearable expression on her face. After a while, Gu opened her eyes and said to Liu Nanny, "Liu Nanny, tell her."

Nanny Liu nodded, walked up to Nanny Qin and said with a straight face: "I have always treated you like a sister, and Madam has never criticized you, and why did you betray Madam, even for that person? To murder your wife's life?"

Mother Qin was shocked, but her face was still crying, and she said loudly, "Sister Liu, what are you talking about? I am a woman, how can I know so much? It's just that I almost put my wife in danger because I didn't know." , how did it become that I want to murder my wife? Where did you start?"

Seeing that she refused to admit it, Mother Liu said in a calm and unhurried manner: "Don't forget that your daughter's deed of sale is still in Madam's hands! Besides, if there is no evidence, how can I be so sure that you did it?" for?"

Nanny Qin trembled slightly when she heard her mention her daughter. She raised her head to look at Mrs. Gu, and took two steps forward, but was blocked by Nanny Liu.Nanny Qin cried: "Ma'am, they are all slaves, don't you take your anger out on the lotus! Ma'am, please raise your hands high, ma'am! I beg you, for the sake of the servants who have served you for more than ten years, please forgive me." Pass over the servant's daughter, madam!"

Seeing that she was still unrepentant, Grandma Liu kicked her to the ground, "What an ungrateful, betrayal bitch! Do you really think Madam doesn't know how much favor you have received from her? Your head Who rewarded you with the golden hairpin? Do you really think Madam doesn’t know about it?”

After hearing this sentence, Nanny Qin froze, and then collapsed on the ground. It was obvious that Nanny Liu had said something on her mind.

At this time, the women and maids who delivered meals to Mrs. Gu in the room were still standing in the room, they all stood aside, bowed their heads in silence, trying their best to reduce their sense of existence, for fear of being troubled by this woman .Moreover, they could all hear what Nanny Liu said just now. Obviously, it was Nanny Qin who betrayed the Lord and wanted to murder his wife's life!This is a great sin!

Jingyi looked at Gu Shi with a calm face, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart. Her mother had such a deep plan, so she knew that Mrs. Qin had betrayed the Lord and begged for glory.

Everyone held their breath, suddenly, the atmosphere in this room was a little weird.

Su Ming was the first to lose his composure, stepped forward and kicked Nanny Qin fiercely and said: "What a vicious woman, you dare to murder your master, someone, send her to the government. See if she recruits or not?"

When Mrs. Qin heard this, she quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed frequently, and kept shouting: "Madam, spare your life! Madam, spare your life!"

Mrs. Gu sighed lightly and said: "Forget it, come here! I found Ren Yazi, and sold this woman. Just don't let me see her again."

Several women came up and dragged Mrs. Qin out.The maids also removed all the dishes that had just been served.
