Working part-time as a wife is too busy

Chapter 68 Who is the murderer (2)
Both Huguo Gongfu and Mingxu Wangfu have received the favor of Gu Xiaoya, and they also know that Gu Xiaoya has opened a pharmacy and a medical clinic in the imperial capital. I heard that the business of the pharmacy is very good, and the medical clinic sees a doctor every day because of Gu Xiaoya's high consultation fees. There are not so many people.

Just now Sun Wan'er and Qi Shi went shopping together, and heard that there was a murder case in Ningyuan Hou's Mansion, and that Gu Xiaoya was going back to her mother's house today, and the two of them came to the General's Mansion because they were worried, but they didn't expect that Gu Xiaoya had already returned.

"Young madam is busy with medical work, will it disturb you? Wan'er and I heard that there was an accident in Ningyuan Hou's mansion, and we were worried that you would be involved, so we came to see if there is any need for help. Young madam, although we didn't know each other before , but let’s get closer in the future, if you need anything, just say it, Mingxu Palace will help you.” Earlier, the old prince hinted that Qi Shi should get closer to Gu Xiaoya, let her take care of Gu Xiaoya more, and said that Gu Xiaoya and other things Nian suffered a lot in the Ningyuan Hou's Mansion, and no one loved her, and wanted to treat her like a granddaughter.

My father-in-law, the old prince, has never expressed such great enthusiasm for anyone. Although the Qi family has been depressed because of childlessness, he doesn't care much about the affairs of the mansion and outside the mansion, and rarely attends the banquets of the noble ladies of the imperial capital. , but she has heard of the name of Miss Gu Si of Ningyuan Hou Mansion, and of course they are not very good.

But hearing is believing, seeing is believing, ever since Gu Xiaoya went to Mingxu Palace to treat her husband, seeing her husband and her health getting better and better, Qi's attitude towards Gu Xiaoya changed greatly.

"Second Madam, don't bother me! I'm of the same generation as Sister Wan'er, so you can call me Xiaoya." Gu Xiaoya is not a really cold-hearted person. She has been alone in another world for a long time. In fact, deep down in her heart, she also longs for friends and family. .

"Hehe, good, good!" Qi Shi said happily, "Xiaoya, don't call me the second wife, just like your sister Wan'er, call me Aunt Qi."

"Okay, Aunt Qi!" Gu Xiaoya is not hypocritical. Some people may not get a good face from her in their lifetime, but some people will soon be close to her as long as they are sincere.

"Madam Qi, there is someone outside the mansion asking to see you, let me give you a letter!" The guard at the gate ran quickly to the front hall with an envelope.

"Give it to me!" Opening the envelope, there was only a small note inside, with the words "come quickly" written on it, and the signature was a word "cold". Gu Xiaoya had already guessed who the person who wrote the letter was.

Therefore, she embarrassedly told Sun Wan'er and Qi Shi that she had to go out on urgent matters now, and she would visit them someday to make amends.

Seeing that Gu Xiaoya was busy with something, Qi Shi and Sun Wan'er got up and left, saying that they were bothering them, and the three of them made another appointment in a few days.

After sending Qi Shi and Sun Wan'er away, Gu Xiaoya asked Qingyue to take her autopsy tools, and then boarded the carriage that was already waiting outside the door. Not long after, the carriage took them to the abandoned village in the suburbs.

When they arrived at Feizhuang, Gu Xiaoya saw Leng Yan and Tang Li who were already waiting, and didn't ask them why they had to take the trouble to transport the body to Feizhuang. After wearing it, Gu Xiaoya went into the house for an autopsy.

Sure enough, no psychedelic drugs containing aphrodisiacs were found in the bodies of Aunt Zheng and Sun Mu, but a small amount of psychedelic drugs were found.

After the autopsy results came out, Gu Xiaoya asked Tang Li to stitch up the wound, and she and Leng Yan walked out.

After getting a breath of fresh air outside the door, Gu Xiaoya looked at the cold words and asked: "Nine out of ten cases are imitations, what do you think?"

"Not yet. I still need to do further investigation. The drug in the corpses of Aunt Zheng and Sun Mu is very common in the imperial capital, and you can buy it in any drugstore. This case is different from the previous three cases. The emperor should not It will stop me from investigating." This murder method is obviously different from Zui Hongyan's. If Zui Hongyan transferred her anger to the Liu family, Lin family, and the palace because of the Zuo family's affairs, then the Gu family has nothing to do with the Zuo family's case, and she doesn't need it. Make Ningyuanhou's Mansion ugly.

In the next few days, Leng Yan began to investigate the murder case in the Ningyuan Hou Mansion with all his strength. All the people related to Aunt Zheng and Sun Mu were taken to the Department of Prisons for questioning, including Xuemei.

Soon, Leng Yan found a trace of clues. The only thing that could bring Aunt Zheng and Sun Mu together was that half a month ago, Aunt Zheng took a carriage driven by Sun Mu to Qingliang Temple in the suburbs twenty miles away to commemorate her early death. His son went to offer incense and pray for blessings.

Before this, Sun Mu had always been the exclusive groom of several ladies in the mansion, and Aunt Zheng seldom went out, and she had no contact with Sun Mu usually.

The second day after learning about this situation, Gu Xiaoya took Qingxia and Qingyue to Qingliang Temple together.

Qingliang Temple is located halfway up a mountain called Qingliang Mountain. It is a temple with a lot of incense. The abbot of the temple is an eminent monk named Master Juewu.

Following the devout men and women entering Qingliang Temple, Gu Xiaoya took the two maids to walk around the temple first, and then went to the back mountain of the temple.

There is a very beautiful place on the back mountain of Qingliang Temple, with quiet mangosteens, gurgling streams, colorful mountain flowers everywhere, and a gazebo where you can climb high and look far.

When Gu Xiaoya and the others arrived, there were two men in the gazebo talking and admiring the scenery. Seeing them approaching, they first stopped talking in surprise, and then the two walked out of the gazebo with a smile and came towards them.

These two men are about the same age, about 20 years old, and they look very handsome. One is dressed in white and the other is gentle, and the other is quite chivalrous in a dark blue suit.

After the two walked out of the gazebo, they nodded slightly towards Gu Xiaoya, and then the three passed by.However, when the man in blue clothes passed by Gu Xiaoya, he seemed to look at her intentionally, and smiled at her again, just like two old friends meeting.

Gu Xiaoya ignored the two strange people, then walked up to the gazebo and looked into the distance.

While Gu Xiaoya was concentrating on admiring the scenery, she suddenly heard a loud commotion from the temple, and she couldn't help but pass by from the back mountain out of curiosity.

When they arrived at the inner courtyard of Qingliang Temple, they realized that it was a pregnant woman who came to the temple to look for the father of her unborn child. What surprised everyone was that the person she was looking for turned out to be a monk from the temple.

Gu Xiaoya saw that there were many people around the woman, including the two men she had seen in the gazebo just now. She saw that the woman was handsome and dressed in ordinary clothes. Judging by the size of her belly, she should be seven or eight months old. up.
