Step-Mother has Given Up

Gu Shaoyi didn't dare to delay the imperial decree, so he immediately packed his bags, took a pair of children, and set foot on the boat sailing south.

Mrs. Gu sent away her son and started investigating the poisoning of Chang Ge, but the maid who took care of Chang Ge hanged herself. Mrs. Gu is getting older and has experienced many things, and she finds it unusual. She also asked people who had contact with the maid, and used a board to sell sticks to kill all kinds of threats. She really found out the clues, followed the vine, and found it. Unexpectedly, the person who poisoned her was Aunt Sun. Aunt Sun is always honest and almost transparent in the Hou Mansion. How could she poison Brother Chang?

Aunt Sun is the old man by Gu Shaoyi's side. At first, she was Gu Shaoyi's maid. Later she gave birth to a son who was a few months older than Brother Chang and was the eldest son in the mansion. When she was pregnant, she was made things difficult by Gu Shaoyi's original partner. The baby was born thin and weak, which affected her mind. Although she was older than Brother Chang, she was stupid than Brother Chang.

Niang Liang is a transparent person in the mansion. Even Gu Shaoyi felt that the concubine's eldest son had lost his face, and he never wanted to mention it, let alone lead him to others.

Gu Shaoyi's original match was not a magnanimous person, so it was not easy to embarrass the grandson, mother and son. After the original match died, their lives were easier. After Shen Yanmo entered the mansion, she felt that the mother and the son were pitiful, and often helped them. The hard days of the mother and son really made it through, but this day only lasted for a year.

Wen Wan married in. She was magnanimous and treated her concubine and concubine. In fact, she acted in a similar manner as the original wife. It is disgusting to be harsh on the ground and secretly on the other side.

In summer, the concubine's eldest son was playing in the garden, but he didn't know what to do, he accidentally ran into Wen Wan.

Wen Wan didn’t even look at it and raised her hand to show her face. She just slapped her face. She opened her mouth and cursed: “You’re a dead little beast, do you want to kill me? Knowing that I’m pregnant, you hit me and said, who instigated you? Yes, is it your vicious-minded aunt?" She wanted to take the opportunity to clean up the aunt in the backyard.

The eldest son of the concubine covered his face and wept. He was anxious and afraid. He shook his head and couldn't say anything.

It was Aunt Sun who came, kowtow and apologize, and confessed that her son is a fool, so she hit Wen Wan, not deliberately, pulling her gentle skirt to make her gracious.

Wen Wan clutched her stomach and refused to give up, and finally hit the Aunt Sun's board, and threw the eldest son into the ancestral hall, not allowing anyone to feed her, which obviously wanted the life of the eldest son.

Aunt Sun asked Gu Shaoyi to ask Gu Shaoyi to release the child, but as soon as Gu Shaoyi came back, Aunt Sun’s maid was dragged away by the gentle person, saying that her fetus was moved. Gu Shaoyi listened. , Ignoring the others, took a big stride and left.

Early the next morning, the eldest son of the concubine died, fell into the pond and drowned. No one knows why the concubine's eldest son was in the ancestral hall, why he suddenly ran out and fell into the pond. The son died, and Aunt Sun was crazy and was locked up in the yard. It is said that she held her pillow and called her son's name every day.

This time the poisoning was caused by Aunt Sun. She grabbed the handle of the little maid and Lao Ziniang. If the little maid did not follow suit, the whole family would have to be sold out. What would be the fate waiting for them at that time? One can imagine.

Aunt Sun did this for two purposes, to avenge Gu Shaoyi and his original partner, and to frame Wen Wan. Once an accident happens to Brother Chang, Wen Wan as a stepmother is the biggest suspect.

Thousands of calculations, I didn't expect this matter to be found out. When Mrs. Gu led people to find Auntie Sun, Auntie Sun committed suicide by taking poison. The imperial physician verified that the poison in her was the same as that of Brother Chang's body.

Gu Shaoyi traveled day and night. It was already mid-November when he arrived at the boundary of Yangzhou. As soon as he entered the boundary of Yangzhou, he met the people from Xuanwutang. According to Ye Shaofu's plan, he all dressed up and entered the city.

Cloud House.

As soon as Gu Shaoyi saw Ye Shaofu, he asked the genius doctor Xue the news that his son had been poisoned, and his life was dying, waiting for help.

Ye Shaofu glanced at Brother Chang and immediately ordered the doctor Xue to be invited.

The genius doctor Xue stole the food in Shen Mansion. That girl Yan Qing has just developed a new dish named Braised Deer Tendons. The burnt deer Tendons exudes a tempting fragrance. It is sprinkled with green onions. Chewy. God doctor Xue fell in love with one bite, with a look of contentment and enjoyment.

Lin Feng leaned on the door frame and looked at the kitchen. Yan Qing was cooking the next dish. The **** doctor Xue ate it secretly, pursed his lips and smiled, shouting: "Doctor Xue, what are you stealing?"

He had just eaten two bites, when Lin Feng outside the door shouted so, he almost choked, turned his head and stared at Lin Feng, he looked like he wanted to eat people.

Yan Qing found out that Doctor Xue was stealing food, and immediately took the braised deer tendons away. He was so angry that Doctor Xue blew his beard and stared, complaining that Lin Feng was not at the right time.

Lin Feng arched his hands and said, "My son, please come over. A patient comes to the house and needs you to see the doctor in person."

Upon hearing Lin Feng's intentions, the old man got a weird temper and threw out two words: "No." All cats and dogs are asked to diagnose and treat him. How can he have so much time, eat and eat, get upset, get angry, let alone Willing to go.

Lin Feng didn't feel annoyed, and walked to the genius doctor Xue: "You really don't go?"

Doctor Xue glared at Lin Feng first, then glanced at Yan Qing, his gaze was on the braised deer tendons, his salivating appearance made people restrained not wanting to laugh.

Yan Qing immediately found a small plate, took out half of the braised deer tendon and gave it to Lin Feng, put the rest on the tray, said to send it to his wife, and left with the tray.

Lin Feng raised his eyebrows, pinched a piece of Lu Tijin and put it in his mouth, admiring again and again, and left with the plate.

Doctor Xue followed Lin Feng, yelling in his mouth: "Boy Feng, give the plate to the old man, and the old man will help your young man see a doctor and save others if he is full."

Lin Feng gave the plate to Doctor Xue.

Master Xue had eaten half full, and he was reluctant to come to Yunfu. He saw Brother Chang'er for the first time. Master Xue knew that the child was poisoned. After checking the pulse, he sighed: "Who is so vicious to give to such a small child? Poison, a few days later, even if the detoxification is fundamental, the old man will detoxify the child."

God doctor Xue gave a consultation to Brother Chang, then sat down to write a prescription, prescribed a decoction to understand the poison, and handed the prescription to Gu Shaoyi, and asked him to decoct three bowls of water into a bowl, three times a day, and drink for seven consecutive days before returning for the consultation.

Gu Shaoyi took the prescription, blew the wet ink and handed it to his confidant to grab the medicine. God doctor Xue reminded: "Go to Jishitang to get medicine, there are all kinds of medicinal materials."

Ye Shaofu shook his head and laughed. The old man had a weird temper and never forgot to sell Ji Shitang.

Hearing this, his confidant quickly agreed and went out.

Sending away the genius doctor Xue, Ye Shaofu arranged for Gu Shaoyi's family to live in. He did not know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He arranged Gu Shaoyi in the yard farthest from Shen's Mansion, and arranged Gu Yunhe and Gu Chang in the yard closest to Shen's Mansion.

Sisters and brothers Gu Yun were tired, Ye Shaofu let them go down to rest. When the siblings left, he spoke first: "How are you going to investigate the Lianghuai salt tax case?"

"First, make an unannounced visit, wait until you get a certain amount of evidence, and then check it out." Gu Shaoyi said.

Ye Shaofu nodded, which coincided with his plan: "When it gets dark, let Lynch take you to a place to solve these things first, and then it's not too late to investigate."

He got the news early in the morning that Wen Jie’s people traded with the Caogang people tonight. In the ruined temple in the west of the city, catching those people on the spot, things will be easier.

Gu Shaoyi agreed and left. He was always worried about Brother Chang's body. He couldn't eat well these days and sleep well, and his spirits were tense. Now that he knows that Brother Chang is fine, the stone hanging in his heart is also let go.

At night, Ye Shaofu and Gu Shaoyi took people to the ruined temple in the west of the city, where they caught Wen Jie's people and the Caogang.

Caobang has its own rules and regulations, and it's not allowed to be contaminated with private salt, but everywhere you can see money, the rudder owner of Caobang has cooperated with Wen Jie in the early years. The man was arrested together at night. Wen Jie's people didn't come back overnight and knew that something was wrong. After thinking about it, they rushed into the study to burn the things that should be burned and hide some things out of the house. But he didn't start to act, dozens of government officials rushed in and took him away. The servants in the house were also locked up.

The case here is going on intensely, but the atmosphere in Shen's Mansion is very harmonious.

New Year's Eve is about to be more than a month away. Shen Yanmo counted the booked accounts and the money earned in the past few months, put them in a box, and prepared to send it to the emperor.

Knowing that she had such a plan, Ye Shaofu took the initiative to take up this responsibility and asked the people of Xuanwutang to send things to Kyoto and present them to the emperor.

Shen Yanmo opened a gold jewelry shop again, specializing in selling Kyoto patterns. As the new year approaches, a woman who does not buy jewelry for herself, knows that it is a Kyoto style, and is more enthusiastic, so Shen Yanmo's gold jewelry shop makes a lot of money After a fortune, I compared the Loujia's gold jewelry shop.

For this reason, Mrs. Lou had a temper and wanted to settle the account with Shen Yanmo. She always felt that Shen Yanmo deliberately came to Yangzhou to grab the business from their house. Finally, Lou Qianzhong persuaded him.

"This Yangzhou city is not the only place where we have gold and silver jewelry shops. Mrs. Shen can earn money. It is her own ability. In business, she earns and loses. This time she made it, and maybe she will lose it next time. What we have to do is to improve the quality of our own home so that we can retain the residents, but we can't follow the old road of the Gu family." Lou Qianzhong said earnestly.

Wuchanghou also came to Yangzhou. Everyone thought that Wuchanghou would help the Gu family. However, Wuchanghou did nothing and set up the Gu family in the name of imperial envoy. He gained a good reputation for righteousness and extermination. It is really the Gu family’s reputation in Yangzhou. Difference.

Even if he has the heart to protect him, Mrs. Shen's background is very hard. According to Young Master Yun, behind her is the person in the palace, who is the noble person, Master Yun did not say, no matter which noble person it is, they can't provoke it. Otherwise, the Gu family is a lesson from the past.

The gold jewelry shop makes money, and Shen Yanmo is very generous, sealing a red envelope of five taels of silver to each girl, and they all worked hard.

It is said that women know women best and know what kind of jewelry to wear, and when the shop opens, it makes a good start.

Shen Yanmo also specifically asked Yan Qing to make a table of delicious food, saying that it was a treat for everyone. If the business of the gold jewelry shop has been good, there will be red envelopes every month.

As Shen Mansion continued to laugh and laugh, Yun Mansion was a bit deserted, especially Gu Shaoyi and Ye Shaofu who went out to investigate the case every day, and were not in the mansion at all. Lin Feng was the only one left in the house. He wanted to look at Gu Yun and Gu Chang, and couldn't leave for a while.

Hearing cheers coming from the next door, Lin Feng told Gu Yun and Gu Chang not to run around, and jumped easily onto the wall, and saw the stone leading Brother Yao and Brother Rong to play, sitting on the wall and grinning: "Three princes, you can good?"

Since the prince went out to handle cases, he rarely came to Shen's Mansion and missed Yan Qing's dishes very much.

Seeing that it was Lin Feng, Shi Shi turned to say hello: "Brother Lin Feng, you have been very busy recently, and you have not come to our house. Sister Yan Qing is cooking new dishes again, so don't mention the taste."

In the end, he made a saliva look, but Lin Feng was greedy. He wanted to jump down to find Yan Qing and let Yan Qing cook for him. But he thought of the young lady on the ground. He hesitated. He looked down at Gu Chang from a high position. He saw that Gu Chang and Brother Yao were about the same size, and they should be able to play together. But they It is the young lady and son of Wuchang Houfu. What should I do if I meet my wife?

Madam is doing well now, surely she doesn't want to see the people in Wuchanghou's Mansion.

Lin Feng thought and thought, very puzzled in his heart. Why can't you let the people in the Wuchang Houfu look at the life of your wife? Out of the Wuchang Houfu, the wife’s life should be more moisturized and moisturized, no mothers-in-law should find faults and rules, no concubine in the middle, no concubine aunts, no stepsons and stepdaughters framed, how good.

Let the people of Wuchang Houfu take a look. With this in mind, Lin Feng put his hands around his chest and said with interest to Gu Chang: "Young Master, here is a child who is similar to your age. Would you like to play with him?"

Gu Chang was young and was accompanied by only her sister along the way. Her sister was a girl and didn't understand the thoughts of boys. After coming to Yangzhou, his father promised to take him out, but he disappeared from morning till night. Lin Feng said that his father was busy. I didn't dare to bother, I could only stay in the house obediently, life was really dull and tasteless. He was very excited to hear that there were children of the same age, and he agreed without thinking about it.

Lin Feng came down and landed in the Shenfu Garden with Gu Chang's light work. Seeing this scene, Gu Yun wanted to go too, and Lin Feng brought her over again.

The child’s world is very simple. You will be familiar with it in less than two quarters of an hour. After playing for a while, near noon, Brother Yao voluntarily asked Gu Chang and Gu Yun to stay for lunch.

Lin Feng on the side also tried his best to persuade: "Little lady, little son, the chef’s craftsmanship, her father was an imperial cook in the palace, since Mr. Shen has invited him, let’s stay for a light meal, Lord Hou and my family. The son doesn't know when he will come back, so we don't have to wait for them."

After thinking about it, Gu Yun and Gu Chang agreed. Gu Chang had a rare friend, so he immediately patted his chest and promised that when Brother Yao and the others went to Kyoto, he would be an affair and invited them to Qingyuelou for a meal.

Brother Yao heard his mother and concubine talk about Qingyuelou, and the mother and concubine also like to eat the dishes there, and immediately agreed.

Gu Chang stayed for dinner. Brother Yao and Brother Rong were very happy, and took Gu Chang to see Shen Yanmo. I thought to myself, if my mother knew they had friends, she would be happy.

They thought about various possibilities, but they did not expect that Shen Yanmo would know Gu Chang and Gu Yun.

When Shen Yanmo saw Gu Yun and Gu Chang, his brows frowned: "Why are you?" It's clear after thinking about it. Gu Shaoyi was an imperial envoy to investigate the case and came to find the salt tax case in Lianghuai, but why did he bring his pair? Children, Shen Yanmo thought she would never see them again in this life.

Brother Yao was stunned. Seeing that there was no joy on Shen Yanmo's face, he asked aloud: "Mother, do you know each other?" Not only did they know him, but he was also very unhappy.

"Knowledge, the source is quite deep." Shen Yanmo looked at Gu Yun, pointing out.

Qiuyue grabbed Yao's arm and said bluntly: "They were the stepsons and stepdaughters of the wife, but unfortunately the stepdaughter did not like the wife and deliberately planted the crops. The wife was sent to the Zhuangzi by Hou Ye, and then she left. At that time, I didn't wait to see my wife. When I saw my wife, I scolded him, saying that the wife was Hu Meizi, who specially seduce his father." Looking at Gu Yun and Chang angrily, she wanted to bite them.

Shen Yanmo didn't conceal the previous things, Yao brother knew a little bit more. Knowing that she had been wronged before, and thinking about getting revenge for her when she grows up, she didn't expect her enemy to come home so soon.

It's a pity that he didn't know the enemy and treated him as a friend, so he was really blind.
