Chapter 448 There Must Be Another Reason

Gu Xiaoxi didn't think much about it and went into the kitchen after washing up.

Finding that Lu Jiansen had already washed and cooked the rice, she quickly started cooking.

Taro braised pork, braised prawns, winter melon and pork ribs soup, braised fish, and then a clay pot fried meatball, a roasted chicken, a plate of stir-fried vegetables, and a dish of salt and pepper peanuts were taken out from the space.

She also planted two osmanthus trees in her space, so she brewed two jars of osmanthus wine. This time she opened one jar.

The food was on the table. When Gu Xiaoxi was about to go next door to call her sister-in-law to come over for dinner, she ran into Lu Jiansen who had just returned.

Before Gu Xiaoxi could say anything, Lu Jiansen had already held her in his arms.

But soon, he let her go, smiled and rubbed her head.

"Wife, where are you going?

Gu Xiaoxi pointed to the next door and said, "Call my sister-in-law to have dinner. Is my brother back?"

"He's back. He'll come here soon."

As the two were talking, they heard Gu Dachuan's voice coming from next door.

“Here it comes, here it comes!”

Gu Xiaoxi looked up and saw her brother and sister-in-law coming over with a dish each.

Li Qiao smiled and said, "Your brother said you like fried lotus root and fried snails, so I made some, but the taste is just average!"

Gu Xiaoxi smiled, feeling warm in her heart, "That's great. I'll have to eat more for today's meal."

As we laughed, everyone had already gone into the house.

Because Yu Chengshuang and Yu Chengyan made a lot of glutinous rice cakes, she also made a brown sugar glutinous rice cake and a fried glutinous rice cake.

Yu Chengyan had never seen so many rich natural foods on a table before. He was drooling even before he ate.

No wonder his brother doesn’t want to go back to his sister Xiaoxi’s house!

"Eat whatever you like. Don't be polite." Gu Xiaoxi greeted Yu Chengshuang and Yu Chengyan.

Yu Chengshuang nodded immediately, "Don't worry, Sister Xiaoxi, I will definitely not be polite."

"Sister-in-law, try the meatballs I made." Gu Xiaoxi promoted the meatballs to his sister-in-law and kept eating snails.

"Sister, give me some osmanthus wine." Gu Dachuan smelled the scent of osmanthus wine as soon as he came in, and his craving for wine was aroused.

"Drink whatever you want. It's not intoxicating!" Gu Xiaoxi brought cups to everyone.

Lu Jiansen was responsible for pouring wine for everyone, and the atmosphere at home was particularly good.

After dinner, Gu Xiaoxi told everyone about Gu Xinli’s visit to the hospital to see her, and also told them that she knew many secrets.

Gu Dachuan frowned and said, "Gu Dali has been a cunning person since she was a child. She is capable of following Old Man Gu for several years."

Although Li Qiaoyi knew some things before, she had no idea that Gu Xinli had poisoned the stream with dried fish.

She was shocked at this time, "Since Gu Xinli was able to steal the poison, then the death of Xiaozhi from my aunt's family might really have been caused by old man Gu."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, "Yes. I just don't know if my aunt's ex-mother-in-law's family also knows about it."

Lu Jiansen was silent for a while before he said, "I had a quick meeting with my dad a few days ago. I asked him about the cause of death of Xie's elder sister. He said that she also had an unexplained fever at first, and then she became incontinent. The cause of death was similar to Xiaozhi's."

Gu Dachuan was furious. "It's clear that it was that vicious old man who killed Xiaozhi. I wish I could kill him now."

Lu Jiansen sighed, "We can't touch the old man yet. There must be some other reason why his leg was broken this time. I have reason to suspect that if we attack him directly, he might be silenced."

"No...no way?" Gu Dachuan suddenly came to his senses.

Li Qiaoyi also said: "The Xie family has more connections and is more ruthless than you think. The Xie family has offended people in Kyoto before, but it was others who disappeared later, while the Xie family is still alive and well, and even the Xie family has a good job."

Gu Xiaoxi was more worried about the poison. "That poison is terrible. The hospital can't detect it. In fact, apart from Mr. Qi, I can't detect it either."

"This is indeed a problem!" Li Qiaoyi also nodded.

At this time, Yu Chengshuang suddenly spoke up, "Sister Xiaoxi, if you can find that poison, you can ask Mu Li to help analyze the poison and make some antidote for your use."

Gu Xiaoxi nodded. "The key point now is not to find the poison. I tried to find it once before, but couldn't find it."

Gu Dachuan pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "Do you think that Yin Chunsheng's death might have something to do with Gu Xinli?"

Gu Xinli has loved telling lies since she was a child. She said that she no longer had the poison in her hands, but he didn't believe it.

Lu Jiansen also had the same idea in his mind. Seeing Gu Dachuan also said so, he said, "I will report it to the higher-ups appropriately."

There are some things that he cannot deal with directly, but he can make the higher-ups pay more attention to the Xie family.

Gu Xiaoxi heard this and immediately stood up and walked back to the room, carrying out more than 20 boxes of packaged mooncakes. "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. You can go to the leader's house now to give him some homemade mooncakes and say a few words, okay?"

Lu Jiansen immediately understood and nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Gu Xiaoxi also said to her brother: "Brother, you should go to my sister-in-law's brother's house, and bring some mooncakes. I made a lot."

Gu Dachuan nodded and said, "I won't come to your place for dinner tonight. I'll go to my eldest brother's house."

"Well. Then you can bring some mooncakes and sweet-scented osmanthus wine." Then, Gu Xiaoxi looked at Lu Jiansen again, "Do you want to bring sweet-scented osmanthus wine?"

“You can bring some!”

Gu Xiaoxi went into the kitchen, took out several small jars from the space, and cleaned them.

Lu Jiansen also went into the kitchen to help his little girl pack the osmanthus wine.

After everything was ready, Lu Jiansen, Gu Dachuan and Li Qiaoyi quickly went out to deliver the gifts.

Gu Xiaoxi also prepared two boxes of mooncakes, two jars of osmanthus wine, two large grapefruits, a box of apples, a basket of vegetables, and five pounds of pork, and then called Yu Chengshuang over.

"Please go to Huaicheng and help me deliver the things to my grandfather and his family."

Yu Chengshuang nodded immediately, "No problem, I'll be there right away."

"Will I go with you?" Yu Chengyan asked immediately.

Gu Xiaoxi shook his head. "You just need to go to one place. Do you want to eat rice dumplings? Although it's not the Dragon Boat Festival, I can still make some rice dumplings for you to try."

Yu Chengyan nodded immediately, "I want to eat."

"Then I'll teach you how to make zongzi later."

Having said that, Gu Xiaoxi went back to the room, wrote a text message and gave it to Yu Chengshuang.

Yu Chengshuang immediately packed up his things and set off for Huaicheng.

Gu Xiaoxi bought some rice dumplings leaves, soaked glutinous rice, and was busy preparing to make rice dumplings in the kitchen.

Fearing that Yu Chengyan would be bored, she packed a basket of unwrapped mooncakes for him and let him eat them slowly.

Lu Jiansen was out for only about an hour and then came back to help his little girl make rice dumplings.
