The aunt lowered her head and remained silent.
Xu Fulang supported his waist and stood up, "Lingze, Chengmo, you two must be hungry."
Gu Lingze waved his hand and said, "Brother Xu, please don't be busy. I'll ask Cheng Mo to go to Heyi Tower to bring back some food."
After they finished their meal, Mu Ziqian slowly woke up.
"Ziqian, you're awake."
Mu Ziqian opened his eyes and saw Gu Chaoyu, then looked around, his mind confused.
"Zhao Yu, how can I..."
The aunt came over with red eyes, "Luckily, Master Gu came to the mansion to look for you today. Since yesterday, your whole body has been burning with fever and you have lost consciousness."
Gu Chaoyu poured him a cup of tea and fed it to him. "It was my brother and brother-in-law who took care of you and brought you out of that house."
After hearing this, Mu Ziqian suddenly started to choke and cough, and Gu Chaoyu beside him hurriedly patted his back.
"My father..."
Gu Chaoyu snorted coldly, "What kind of father is yours? It's better not to mention it."
After hearing this, Mu Ziqian lowered his head and said nothing.
At this time, Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo walked in. Seeing this, Mu Ziqian wanted to get out of bed, but was held down by Gu Chaoyu.
A smile flashed across Gu Lingze's eyes, "How do you feel now?"
Mu Ziqian nodded slightly, "Thank you, Master Imperial Master. I am now fine."
Gu Lingze nodded, "Then just stay here and take care of yourself. You don't have to worry about your family affairs."
Mu Ziqian glanced at his aunt and bit his lower lip hard. "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I and aunt...will not bother you any more."
Gu Chaoyu was immediately anxious and stood up and said, "Your stepmother wanted to kill you. If my brother hadn't arrived in time today, you would have died!"
Mu Ziqian shook his head and forced a smile at Gu Chaoyu.
He doesn't care what happens to him, but not his aunt.
Even if he could stay here today, he would definitely have to go back later.
By then, he didn't know how the lady would be angry with his aunt, so he couldn't take the risk.
Gu Chaoyu was confused because of his concern, but Gu Lingze understood his concerns.
He walked forward and gently patted Mu Ziqian's shoulder, "You and your aunt will stay here. Xuanyi Hou and I will take care of everything for you."
Just based on his brother's attitude, Mu Ziqian might be his future sister-in-law in the future, so of course he has to protect her well.
Since Gu Lingze had spoken, Mu Ziqian couldn't help but appreciate it, so he nodded.
Gu Chaoyu immediately laughed, looked at him and asked, "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"
Gu Lingze smiled and looked at Zhao Chengmo, and they walked out together.
Early the next morning, Guo Anben brought valuable gifts and knocked on the door of the General's Mansion.
Gu Lingze hadn't gotten up yet, so Zhao Chengmo went to the front hall alone.
"Your humble servant greets Marquis Xuanyi." Guo Anben bowed.
Zhao Chengmo looked at him expressionlessly, "Have you asked everything clearly?"
When asked this question, Guo Anben broke out in a cold sweat.
Mu Wenbin is still in a coma, his face turning blue and black, but his sister insisted that she knew nothing.
The mansion is in chaos now. If anything really happens, he really can't afford it.
Guo Anben gritted his teeth and bowed, "Excuse me, Grand Master..."
"The Imperial Master is not available."
Zhao Chengmo threw down these four words and walked out of the front hall, saying to the palace guards, "Show the guest away."
Guo An was about to chase after him, but was stopped by the palace guards.
"Your Excellency, please."
——
After lunch, Mrs. Xie came and looked at Gu Lingze as soon as she sat down.
"Lingze, Grandmother heard that something happened at the residence of the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
Gu Lingze was a little surprised. He didn't understand how his grandmother knew about this.
But I still briefly recounted what happened yesterday.
After hearing this, Old Lady Xie sighed and said helplessly, "I had some friendship with Old Lady Mu when we were young. She is no longer with us. The maid who served her came to the mansion with her name card. I am really in a difficult situation."
Gu Lingze smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry. This is not a big deal. I will go there later."
Half an hour later, Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo led the palace guards and set off.
When he arrived at Mu Wenbin's house, he went straight to the room, took some blood from his fingertips and put it on the paper bird, and then went to Guo's room.
"search."
Gu Lingze only said this one word, and the guards began to rummage through the drawers in the room.
Guo was originally lying on the bed pretending to be asleep, but now she couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Even if you are the imperial teacher, can you act so recklessly?!" Guo scolded angrily.
"If you feel aggrieved, Madam, you can go and ask Lord Mu and Lord Guo to make the decision." Gu Lingze didn't even look at her from beginning to end.
Just as she made room, the palace guards immediately began searching the bed.
"Third Young Master, I found this at the corner of the bed." The guard brought the thing in front of him.
Gu Lingze took the two straw men from his hands and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up.
When Guo saw what was in his hand, her face turned pale instantly. She rushed over and tried to snatch the straw man back, but he dodged her.
Gu Lingze looked at the clothes on the straw man, and saw a column of birth data written in small characters in the middle.
One of them belongs to Mu Ziqian, and the other one should be that Honger's.
"Your child is dead and you still want to occupy someone else's body. It's really a foolish dream."
After saying that, he handed the straw man to his side, "Cheng Mo, help me take it out and burn it."
Just as Zhao Chengmo was about to walk out, Guo let out a shrill scream.
"I just asked that bastard to return Hong'er's life. What's wrong with me?"
Mu Yuanhong and Mu Ziqian were born in the same year, only one month apart.
In the winter when they were seven years old, they both caught a cold and were ill for a long time.
In a state of anxiety, Guo invited a famous Taoist nun to come to her house to take a look.
Unexpectedly, after drinking the Taoist medicine, Mu Yuanhong's condition took a turn for the worse, while Mu Ziqian got better day by day.
The Taoist woman then said that it was Mu Ziqian who had taken away Mu Yuanhong's vitality and robbed him of his lifespan.
A few days later, Mu Yuanhong died.
On the day of the funeral, Guo strangled Mu Ziqian until he fainted.
At this time, the Taoist nun saw that Guo had become a little crazy and was afraid that she would be implicated.
In order to calm her down, the Taoist nun used a shameful method. She captured Mu Yuanhong's soul and allowed the mother and son to have a conversation.
Now, Guo completely regarded this Taoist woman as her last straw and gave her a lot of money.
The Taoist woman then lied and said that they could exchange souls when they were fifteen years old, so that Mu Yuanhong could come back to life in Mu Ziqian's body.
After hearing this, Gu Lingze looked at Guo with a mocking expression, "It's obviously the witch's medicine that has a problem. What does it have to do with Mu Ziqian?"
"Originally, Mu Yuanhong could have gone to the underworld to be reincarnated long ago, but you believed the witch's words and imprisoned his soul in this straw man. Even if he was reincarnated, his next life would be short-lived."
