Chapter 143 Accident

"The criminals sneaked into the pond. The guards searched around the pond and found water trails leading to Zui Mo Xuan. When they went back there, they said that the young master had just left. We searched the entire mansion but couldn't find him. So, I suspect that the young master took him away."

Zhou Zhilan's face was grim: "Did the young master bring the criminal in? Why did he bring him in? To kill Madam?"

"I don't know yet without evidence. I'll ask when you come back."

Gu Huan continued, "No need to ask. He won't tell you even if you ask. You just need to confirm whether Wu Yuan is still here."

"Wu Yuan? Yes, we'll know if we check to see if he's here."

Zhou Chunyu widened his eyes and looked at Zhou Zhilan. He immediately took people there in person.

Zhou Zhilan frowned and lowered her voice, "We have secretly monitored Zui Moxuan. How did he get to you so quietly? His skills are too terrifying."

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became.

"This person is very strange."

Gu Huan remembered that familiar voice calling.

Could it be...

impossible.

Gu Huan shook her head, rejecting her own idea.

"What's strange about him? What did you find?"

"He doesn't look like he's here to kill me. Although it's too dark in the room to see his face, I can sense that he doesn't have any murderous intent. He knocked us out because he didn't want us to know he was here, so what was his purpose? There's nothing valuable or important in my room."

If a spy wants to steal something, he should go to the study.

The more Gu Huan thought about it, the more confused she became.

Zhou Zhilan became more and more nervous as she listened: "No, I have to get a few maids with good martial arts skills to guard you."

As he spoke, he walked away in a hurry.

After a while, Donghua and Dongqing woke up completely, and they were scared at the thought of what would happen next.

If anything happens to the lady, they can only atone for their sins by dying.

"Madam, please sleep a little longer. The servants will watch over you."

Gu Huan's mind was in a mess. She nodded randomly and lay back on the bed.

I was too nervous just now, my body was sore, and I fell asleep in a daze.

The next day.

Gu Huan slept until noon.

Zhou Chunyu and Zhou Zhilan were already waiting for her in the east side room.

"The man last night was definitely not an ordinary person. He came and went without a trace. The young master denied taking anyone out, and Wu Yuan happened to have left the Duke's Mansion a few days ago, saying that he had something to do. There is no evidence to prove that he was the infiltrator."

"No matter what, we will strengthen our guard. All the maids in the mansion who are skilled in martial arts have been transferred here to guard you and the old lady."

Gu Huan listened silently.

The gentle call from last night still lingers in my mind.

It's like the nostalgic voice of two people who meet again after a long separation.

Every time she thought about it, she felt heartbroken.

Brother Ji, is that you?

If it was him, she would actually stab him with her own hands.

She didn't dare think about it anymore.

Zhou Zhilan suddenly remembered: "Oh, didn't you stab him? Where did you stab him? Let our people and the people from the Inspection Office pay attention to it."

Seeing Gu Huan in a daze, he gently patted her thigh and asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Huan came back to her senses: "Nothing, what did you say just now?"

"Where did you hurt that person last night?"

"thigh."

Zhou Zhilan looked at Zhou Chunyu: "Brother, your thigh is injured."

"Okay. Got it."

…

After this incident, everything became calm.

The man was not caught and Wu Yuan never entered the palace again.

Three days later, Gu Huan remembered that something big was going to happen today.

She hasn't had a head-on confrontation with Yaoyao yet, so she's using this incident to get to know Yaoyao better.

After Gu Huan finished her dinner, she took Dong Hua and Dong Qing for a walk in the garden to help digest the food. As they walked, they arrived at the pond next to Xuan Yun Hall.

I saw Yaoyao sitting in the pavilion by the water feeding the fish.

Gu Huan walked over and stood beside her, watching dozens of koi happily fighting for food.

Yaoyao turned her head to look at her and said, "Please forgive me, Madam. My belly is too big for me to perform the ceremony."

Donghua was angry and was about to speak when Gu Huan waved her hand to stop her.

"It's okay. Children are the most important."

Gu Huan sat down opposite her, grabbed a handful of fish food from her hand and threw it into the water.

"Aunt Yao, drink tonic medicine every day."

Yaoyao paused as she was about to throw the fish food and looked at her in surprise: "Yes, what's wrong?"

Gu Huan waved to Donghua and the others. Dongqing took the maids around Yaoyao and retreated. However, Donghua refused to go far away and stared at Yaoyao, fearing that she would do something bad.

"Nothing, just reminding you to be careful."

Yaoyao raised an eyebrow: "You care about me?"

"The child is innocent." Gu Huan looked at her calmly.

At this moment, a maid from Jiaochun Garden came over with a food box. Seeing Gu Huan was there, she bowed to her.

"Auntie, you need to drink tonic."

A hint of nervousness flashed across Gu Huan's eyes.

Yaoyao looked at her curiously and took the tonic handed to her by the maid.

"Madam, do you think there is something wrong with this medicine?"

Gu Huan couldn't say it directly.

On this day and at this time in her previous life, Yaoyao drank a bowl of tonic here and had the child aborted.

She smiled and said, "I know Gu Wanru's character better. She looks dignified and gentle on the surface, but she is very strong in her heart. She has been working hard to take care of her body recently. I just guessed that she didn't want a concubine's child to be born first."

Yaoyao looked at the medicine bowl and then looked at her.

"I take this medicine every day and it's fine. Why do you think today's medicine can't be taken?"

Yaoyao smiled and said, "You two have already torn your faces apart, why should I believe you?"

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. You can ask the court doctor to check it out. It's not too late to drink it if there is no problem."

Yaoyao looked at Gu Huan in front of her with a smile: "Why are you helping me?"

That’s right, the bowl of medicine in her hand was indeed abortion pills, because she made them herself.

It seems that Gu Huan thought that Gu Wanru was going to drug her.

But why did she know?

Yaoyao looked at Gu Huan.

She was not as harmless as she appeared. She forced her to kill her own mother and injured the young master twice.

He is also a cruel and ruthless person.

Gu Huan didn't know what she was thinking, so she followed her own thoughts and said, "The fact that the child was born into your belly shows that he and you have a mother-son relationship. If you abort it, it will become your bad fate."

Yaoyao sneered: "Then I have a lot of bad karma in this life. This is not the first child I have beaten. A child born to someone of our status would be even more miserable than me. Why did I give birth to him?"

She suddenly leaned closer to Gu Huan and said, "Are you trying to win me over and form an alliance with me?"

Gu Huan didn't say anything.

It was impossible to form an alliance, but it was not a bad idea to let her misunderstand.

What's more, Yaoyao formed an alliance with Gu Wanru and helped her bring Wuyuan into the mansion. Gu Huan would not believe that Yaoyao also wanted to form an alliance with her.

If you want to get the skin of a tiger, you must get close to the tiger first.

It depends on who can deceive whom.

Yaoyao laughed for a while and suddenly stood up.

With her big belly, she smiled seductively at Gu Huan: "Since you reminded me today, I will give you a big gift. Just wait and see."

Gu Huan watched her and her men leave, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

My original intention was to get close to Yaoyao, but I also didn’t want an innocent child to die.

As for any big gift from her, Gu Huan didn't expect it at all.

As long as it doesn't ruin her plan.

…

Yaoyao returned to her room, took out a white jade bowl from the drawer, poured the abortion drug into the small bowl, and drank it in one gulp in front of the maids.

"Go and ask the young master to go to Jinxiu Pavilion."

She walked with the jade bowl in her hand, instructing her trusted companions.

Gu Wanru was embroidering when Yaoyao suddenly rushed in with someone.

"you……"

Yaoyao held a small bowl in her hand and walked directly in front of Gu Wanru, staring at her with tears in her eyes: "Why did you abort my child?"

Gu Wanru was confused: "When did I abort your child? What happened to you?"

Yaoyao suddenly covered her belly, her face pale with pain: "Madam, why did you abort the young master's first child? He is already so big, do you want to kill me too?"

Yaoyao's maid screamed in fright and rushed forward to support her, and someone hurriedly went to call the palace doctor.

Gu Wanru's face changed drastically, and she suddenly understood something. She pointed at Yaoyao and shouted angrily: "You drugged yourself and wanted to frame me!"

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Mu An rushed in and saw Yaoyao lying on the ground pitifully, dying, with blood under her skirt.

"Gu Wanru, how dare you do this! Yaoyao is already five months pregnant, do you want to kill her?"

Gu Wanru was anxious: "It's not me, it's her, it has nothing to do with me!"

Yaoyao's trusted maid handed the white jade bowl to Mu An and said, "Sir, this is the Young Madam's special bowl. Our aunt had a miscarriage after drinking the medicine in this bowl."

Mu An took a look and found it was true.

"The evidence is irrefutable. What do you have to deny? As the wife of the principal house, you can't give birth to a child yourself, and yet you want to harm the child of your concubine. Gu Wanru, you have violated the seven grounds for divorce again. I can divorce you!"

Gu Wanru was completely stunned.

"What? Yaoyao went to Jinxiu Pavilion and had a miscarriage?"

Gu Huan was also stunned when she heard the news.

Yaoyao, what is this song about?

But let me make one thing clear: Yaoyao didn't want this child at all.
