Reborn I want to be a giant

Chapter 13 Brothers
Aunt Tang is in charge of the middle class of the Duke's Mansion, and what happened today cannot escape her eyes, "She is becoming more and more disregarded." To put it harshly, it is lawless.

Gu Yanya leaned back on the chair relaxedly, and took a sip of tea slowly, "Pfft, I'm not surprised what happened to her."

"We can't hide this matter. It is said that the Marquis Weiyuan Mansion is a shabby household..." The title of title will end here with Xi Hengyun. "How could she be so stupid?" Aunt Tang shook her head, thinking that Gu Changxi was just being selfish, and never expected her It turns out that it is possible to be so stupid, to help outsiders beat and kill the servants at home without being ignorant of being tricked.

"Who lured Nanny Zhang?" Gu Yanya didn't think that this kind of practice would be done by someone in the house.Even Gu Changyu, who is now competing with Gu Changxi, would not do such things that harm others and benefit himself at this critical moment in today's place.Aunt An is also in charge of the banquet today, Gu Changyu will not be so stupid as to give someone a chance, and right now she is also anxious to discuss marriage, if Gu Changxi's reputation is wrong, as a concubine, she will have fewer people to choose from.In Gu Yanya's eyes, this second younger sister is much smarter than Gu Changxi.

Aunt Tang entered the palace to serve the Empress Dowager since she was a child. She has never seen any dirty things in the palace walls. She naturally thought about what her son thought of, "Could it be the two little ones in Mujinyuan?"

Gu Yanya put away the slack on her face, and said slowly: "Auntie is worrying too much, don't look at them as if they are aloof from the world and let others rub them, but in fact they are as good-hearted as anyone else. If she is determined to punish Gu Changxi, she will definitely not turn over Opportunities." Although they didn't interact much, the gazes of the two siblings always made him hard to see through, especially Gu Yanqing, who had a ruthless look between his brows.

The son's words also shocked Aunt Tang's mind, thinking of Gu Changxi, Gu Changyu and Aunt An's quarrel these days, several cousins ​​were busy trying to win over, but the two brothers and sisters in Mujinyuan were too quiet.

"Auntie just needs to remember to take good care of the people in her hands, and don't make things difficult for Mujinyuan." Gu Yanya believed in her own vision.

Aunt Tang came back to her senses, "Understood, what can I do to make things difficult for the two children." It's not easy to manage when someone else takes over the hand-feeding.

At this time, the atmosphere in Liangxia Courtyard was not much better.Aunt An hated Gu Changxi to death. She brought up this girl. Although she didn't teach her in a good direction, she didn't teach her to do such shameless things as private meetings and private teaching and receiving.More than one person knows about this matter today, and the servants can't keep their mouths shut, and I don't know how to spread it in the days to come.It's okay for Gu Changxi to be stupid, but it also hurt Gu Changyu who was already struggling with marriage.

"I should have killed her quietly in the first place." Aunt An slammed the teacup on the coffee table heavily.

"Auntie didn't lure Nanny Zhang, but who could it be?" Gu Changyu's whole heart was anxious. After tonight, the scandal of Gu Changxi and Xi Hengyun must spread all over the capital. What should she do?Could it be that his father would arrange for her to marry those reckless officials in the army?How does this make her happy.

Aunt An thought for a while, "Tang Qiuyi? No...it's not her, it's not good for her to do this." Aunt Tang has no daughter, only a son.Gu Yanya is a good student, she will have a bright future in the future, she can't do that. "Gu Changyan... Could it be that she took revenge on Gu Changxi?" After all, Chen Mengling reconciled and divorced when the repentance of the marriage caused a lot of trouble in the city.No one can swallow this breath.

Gu Changyu wanted to roll his eyes, "Auntie, think about it, who will benefit from the discovery of the eldest sister's secret meeting with Mr. Xi?"

"Who?"

"Auntie, which one is more powerful, our Duke's Mansion or the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion?"

"Of course it's the Duke's mansion. The Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion will become a commoner in a short time. Mother told you, the Xi family has long since fallen, and the Marquis of Weiyuan's title will still be in this generation... you mean ...Oh my God!" Only then did Aunt An realize what her daughter was alluding to.

That's right, Gu Changxi and Xi Hengyun don't know about it, it's not painful to Gu Changyan at all, and it can't change anything, if Gu Changyan wants to take revenge, there's no need to follow Gu Changxi's wishes to match them up.So the whole thing was actually a scheme by the Marquis of Weiyuan. They had their eyes on Gu Changxi long ago, and Gu Changxi thought that he had met a Mr. Ruyi who fell in love with him.

"Just wait and see, Mrs. Weiyuanhou will come to visit in a few days." Gu Changyu sat down in front of the dressing table, and the servant girl took off her headgear.

Hibiscus-in

For Gu Changyan, the messy things going on in the house are just a joke, and what she cares more about is the fourth prince's purpose of pretending to be disabled.If he can't confirm the person behind the scenes for the rest of his life, does the Fourth Prince plan to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of his life?This is too funny.The little head under the quilt couldn't help giggling twice.

"Miss is dreaming?" the little maid who was on duty at night communicated in a low voice.

"Go and see, don't just kick the quilt. It's cold at night, and it's not good to catch a cold."

The two little girls tiptoed into the room, Gu Changyan quickly pretended to be asleep, and didn't open his eyes until they went out.At this time, the matter of the fourth prince has been left out of the blue, thinking of Weng Qimin's chubby little face, he sips "Third Sister Gu" in a nonchalant way, it's really sweet.No wonder the elders like it.

Prince Rui's Mansion - Dungeon
Shen Jingduo pushed Zhao Yanran, who was in a wheelchair, into the execution room. The pungent smell of blood and excrement and urine did not make him frown, and the four people dangling on the beam did not make him feel any pity, even though they were covered with bruises.

After receiving the confession presented by Shen Jingduo, Zhao Yanran's lips trembled slightly, and the palms holding the armrest were so forceful that the veins were exposed, "Isn't it a trick of torture?" These words seemed to have exhausted all their strength.

"This subordinate didn't use severe punishment, these are just superficial wounds. This subordinate has also asked them, and if they insist, they are willing. Just don't implicate relatives."

"I heard that one died?"

Shen Jingduo whispered: "Severe punishment was used in front of them." So the four people agreed to tell the truth because they were frightened.

Zhao Yanran herself is not willing to imagine the means to frighten these dead men.

"Go ask the prince to come over immediately."

"Now?"

Zhao Yanran stared at the few people who were still hanging, "To avoid long nights and dreams." He had been pretending for long enough, and he was already tired of this appearance of neither human nor ghost. Wait.

Shen Jingduo was in a dilemma, "But the gate of the palace has been locked, and it is not easy for the prince to come out at this moment." Even if you are a prince, if you leave the palace in the middle of the night, if you don't have a good reason, you will be questioned by the emperor.Since Zhao Yanran was going to see the crown prince first, Shen Jingduo guessed that her master's original intention was not to make trouble.

"Put them down, don't die." Zhao Yanran said angrily, and left the torture room by herself in the wheelchair.

After the morning court, the crown prince was invited to Prince Rui's residence, he was puzzled and wanted to take this opportunity to talk to his younger brother Haosheng.Unexpectedly, I didn't even have a sip of tea when I entered the door, so I was led to the dungeon.

"What are you doing?" Ever since Zhao Yanran had an accident, he had gradually gotten used to his younger brother's uncertain mood, so he didn't get angry.

Zhao Yanran was waiting for him in the torture room, "Second Brother, let's take a look."

Shen Jingduo presented the confession, Zhao Yantao didn't know what kind of medicine the fourth brother was selling in the gourd today, but the few prisoners in the execution room and the unpleasant smell made him sick.

"Bastard, a load of nonsense."

Shen Jingduo felt that he would not live long, and the first person to be killed after the crown prince ascended the throne was probably him, an aide of Prince Rui's residence who had panicked when he saw the prince.At this moment, he really hated himself for being in the execution room.

Zhao Yanran had already lost patience, and took back the confession from Zhao Yantao, "Are you going to deal with it yourself, or should I leave it to Father to decide?"

The prince lost his mind, "She...how could...why?"

"Why, I also want to ask why! Or you?" You instructed her to kill me.

"Are you crazy? What's the benefit of doing this for your brother?" He was already the crown prince, and as long as he didn't make any big mistakes, the throne would be his sooner or later.Even if one is really afraid of one's own brother, the first one to clean up is someone else.

Regarding the crown prince's defense, Zhao Yanran didn't have a trace of brotherly respect in his eyes, only endless sarcasm, "I want an answer, and I want it today, otherwise the clan's mansion, or the father's emperor... can't be sure."

"Okay." The prince's eyes were flushed, as if he had made up his mind.

Zhao Yanran turned the wheelchair, turned her back to him and wiped her face, her lips trembling slightly, "If you don't want to, then from this moment on, treat me as a younger brother."

It was not until the prince left for a long time that Zhao Yanran slowly stood up from the wheelchair and walked out of the dungeon step by step.The moment he saw the sunlight, he let out a long breath of foul air.

East Palace
The Crown Princess went back to her natal family early this morning. As the New Year approached, Mrs. Min picked a few marriageable ladies from the clan to come to Beijing to celebrate the New Year. Because she didn't inform her in advance, the Crown Princess thought she was just a mother who wanted to establish a good relationship with the clan.Unexpectedly, as soon as she sat down, Mrs. Min vaguely mentioned that there were few people in the East Palace, and asked her to pick someone from several young ladies to go back to serve.The Crown Princess was so angry that she secretly hated that she really wasn't her own mother, so she wouldn't treat her sincerely.

Fortunately, she was raised by her grandfather since she was a child, and her temperament has been honed to be quite stable. She has always been able to deal with Mrs. Min's schemes with ease, and she extinguished Mrs. Min's delusion with a few words.Returning to the Eastern Palace immediately, the joy that was suppressed in his heart was revealed.

"Your Highness." She wondered why the prince was so idle today, but the corners of his mouth were curved.

Zhao Yantao waved his hand, and the servants left consciously.

The princess was inexplicable, "Your Highness, is there something wrong?"

What Zhao Yantao wanted to marry in the early years was not this girl whose parents died when she was young. She had neither outstanding color nor extraordinary talent.But at that time, Mrs. Min tried his best to match, and his attitude softened after many times, and the title of a side concubine is also acceptable.Later, the queen met this woman and told him that this woman was obviously specially trained by Mr. Min for him. If it was a side concubine, she would give it to her. In the future, if the main concubine would suppress her, she would not be able to tell a story.

That year when the emperor was traveling north, on the way back he encountered a windstorm, and the rocks rolled down. In order to protect the emperor, old man Min was crushed by a huge boulder. When he was rescued, his body was split in two, and the old man had only his last breath left.With tears in his eyes, the emperor asked him what his wish was. He didn't seek fame and wealth for the Min family, but only asked the emperor to take care of his eldest son's only flesh and blood, Min Qinyue. After he finished speaking, he fell silent.

Later, Min Qinyue went to the palace to accompany the queen. The Min family saw Min Qinyue's future, so they asked the clan elders to come forward and forcibly put Min Qinyue under the name of the second wife.On the surface, the starting point of the Min family was for the good of Min Qinyue and Dafang, so even if they knew what was going on, there was nothing outsiders could do.

The empress and Zhao Yantao's mother and son didn't change their thoughts on Min Qinyue, but when the emperor was about to choose a concubine for the crown prince, some courtiers mentioned Master Min, and the emperor naturally thought of Master Min's last words, and thought that he had met Min Qinyue. The lady of the family was reluctantly satisfied, so she was given the position of crown prince and concubine.

"Absurd, why would my concubine do such an outrageous thing?" After hearing Zhao Yantao's words, she turned pale and knelt down, "The fourth younger brother is His Highness's younger brother, so naturally he is also a younger brother of my concubine. He pities him before it's too late, how can he do such a thing that is inferior to an animal." After speaking, tears fell like rain, because of her husband's distrust, and because of this sudden catastrophe.

"After the fourth brother's accident, several attendants around the seventh brother disappeared. The seventh brother knew that the fourth brother suspected him, so he has been searching for the whereabouts of these people for the past two years. Now they and their clansmen are all in the hands of the fourth brother. On the hand, Caigu has seen it just now." He also couldn't tell what mood he was in.

"Fourth brother asked Gu to ask you, why?" This is also the answer he wanted.
