Chapter 248 All Dead

The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward. Pei Yuanqing glanced at Gu Lan, then felt her disgust and quickly looked away.

"child……"

"The child is still asleep."

Pei Yuanqing saw that the baby was so pink and tender that he didn't even dare to hug him, fearing that he would break if he touched him lightly.

"He... looks a lot like you. I heard you went through a lot of trouble giving birth to him. It must have been very hard, right?" Pei Yuanqing took a deep breath. "I didn't expect you were still willing to give birth to him."

Gu Lan would not change her dislike for him just because of his few words of concern. Her voice was still cold, "He is my child, why don't I give birth to him?"

Pei Yuanqing smiled bitterly, "Yes, he is your child, and you will be a very good mother."

Gu Lan frowned. "Is this all you came here to say? Pei Yuanqing, please stop saying useless things. I asked you to come because you are the father of the child after all. I cannot deny this, so I asked you to come and see him. But you must understand that you should have less contact with this child in the future. I don't trust any of you Pei family members."

Pei Yuanqing nodded and looked at his sleeping son. "Can I...can I hold him?"

"He's sleeping."

Pei Yuanqing touched his cheek and said, "I washed my hands."

"What do you want to do today?"

After all, they had been married for a year, so Gu Lan was not unaware of his abnormality.

"Nothing. I said I regretted it, but I'm afraid you don't like it."

Pei Yuanqing smiled bitterly and said, "He...he is very similar to you. With a mother like you by his side, he will be both civil and martial."

"It's natural."

Pei Yuanqing nodded and looked at Gu Lan, "I...I know I'm not a good husband and have done many wrong things to you."

"I don't want to hear these words."

"I know I was stupid and was deceived by that woman Jiang Xinyue. In the beginning, I really wanted to grow old with you, but later on, you kept controlling me and making me do things I didn't like, and I got annoyed. Of course, I know you were doing this for my own good."

Gu Lan interrupted him coldly, "Pei Yuanqing, don't you think it's meaningless to say this now?"

"I don't mean anything else. I know you hate me and dislike me, and I was indeed extremely wrong. I'm already very grateful that you let me see the child."

Pei Yuanqing looked at Gu Lan, his eyes red. "Gu Lan, if I could live my life over again, I would definitely treat you well."

"No, there's no second chance in life. You've already seen the child. Can you leave now?"

Pei Yuanqing nodded and looked at his son who was sleeping soundly. "Yong'en, I am not worthy of being your father. It is best if you don't remember me. Take good care of your mother in the future."

After saying that, he left.

Gu Lan half leaned on the kang and felt that Pei Yuanqing was a little abnormal today.

But then I thought, as long as he doesn't bother me, his affairs have nothing to do with me.

…

That night, in the middle of the night, a scream was heard from the Pei family.

The Gu family members closest to them were woken up.

The cry was very shrill, especially in the quiet night, it was very creepy.

"Help! Someone, please save us."

Gu Mingjing stood up suddenly. After listening carefully, he confirmed that it was a woman calling for help.

Could it be that the remnants of the bandits have come to seek revenge?

The Pei family was not worth saving, but if they were bandits, he would still go out and take a look.

Gu Yuru also came out with her clothes on. "What's going on?"

Gu Mingjing shook his head. "I'll go take a look. You keep an eye on the children."

"How can you go there alone?" Gu Yuru was worried about her brother's safety.

At this time, the rest of the Gu family also woke up, and the two brothers accompanied Gu Mingjing.

They hurried to the back to see what was happening.

Soon, they saw Gu Mingjing coming back with a woman, "Where's Mumu?"

With such a big scene, Li Mumu was ridiculed if she just left.

But she was still a little confused at the moment, "What happened to Third Uncle?"

Gu Mingjing lowered his voice and said, "Look, what happened to her?"

Li Mumu rubbed her eyes and saw that the woman placed on the ground by her third uncle was Jiang Xinyue. She yawned and felt her pulse, then suddenly woke up, most of her sleepiness gone.

"She's been poisoned... the poison has penetrated her lungs."

"Why did he get poisoned? Where are the others?"

"Who poisoned her?"

Facing the questions from Gu Yuru and Song Qiang, Gu Mingjing seemed a little hesitant.

"Mingjing, it's okay to speak frankly." Gu Jian said.

Gu Mingjing looked in the direction of Gu Lan's room. Fortunately, she was still in confinement after giving birth and had not come out.

"All dead."

"All dead..."

Song Qiang's mouth was covered by Gu Yuru in time, "Second sister-in-law, don't let Lan'er know yet."

Song Qiang nodded vigorously, indicating that she understood. Then, as soon as Gu Yuru let go of her hand, she couldn't wait to whisper, "Who... who poisoned me? Are they trying to frame our family?"

Everyone in Ningxi Village knows that the Gu family and the Pei family are at odds with each other. Now that everyone in the Pei family is dead, the Gu family must be the number one suspect.

What's more, the Gu family has a little girl who knows medicine and is good at using poison.

"Who is so wicked?" Song Qiang said angrily.

Although Jiang Xinyue was hateful, Li Mumu still gave her an antidote so that her life could be saved for the time being.

At this time, the brothers Gu Mingyu and Gu Mingtang also came out of Pei's house, holding a piece of paper in their hands.

"No one poisoned them. No, no outsiders poisoned them."

"Who is that?" Song Qiang asked again.

Gu Mingyu shook the letter in his hand and said, "It was Pei Yuanqing who poisoned me. Here is his handwritten letter."

At this time, Jiang Xinyue also opened her eyes after taking the antidote.

"Help, save them, my son, my daughter, Yuanchen, Qiuge, they can't die..."

She didn't care that the people in front of her were members of the Gu family. She quickly got up and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, "Please, save them."

When she saw Li Mumu, she grabbed her arm tightly and said, "You are a doctor, go save them. Please, I will work like a slave for you..."

Li Mumu pulled her hand back.

Gu Mingyu said coldly, "It's useless. They are already dead."

"No... Impossible, you lied to me. All the mistakes are my fault. It has nothing to do with them. I am the one who wronged Gu Lan. I wanted to hurt her. Come at me, don't hurt my child."

"Your child is a child, but other people's children aren't children?" Zhang Yi's hands trembled with anger. "I only have this one daughter, and she married into your Pei family. I'm not asking you to treat her like your own, but I believe I haven't done anything wrong in my daughter's upbringing. If she did do something wrong, you can beat her, you can scold her, but how could you torture her like that?"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong. You can hit me, you can scold me, I won't say a word. Li Mumu, please save them, bring them back to life."
