Chapter 6 The thorns are too prickly
Gu Yuexuan frowned, revealing her displeasure.
Tu Subo immediately retorted: "Could it be that Second Aunt is so hungry that she has lost her mind?"
"The confiscation of property was carried out by the emperor's trusted aides. She was just a new wife. How could she have hidden the jewels you mentioned?"
Yu's eyes were fierce and her tone was harsh as she said, "I saw it with my own eyes, how could I be wrong?"
"Tu Subo, it was your father who led the Tu Su family to its current situation. Now that Gu Yuexuan has entered the Tu Su family, it is only right that we make our wealth public so that everyone can enjoy a share. You are not the only ones who can enjoy these riches!"
She provoked an argument and did not forget to fan the flames at the sullen-faced old lady: "Mother, I saw it with my own eyes, she clearly hid some valuables!"
"We can tolerate simple meals, but how can you eat such filthy things? Isn't it her duty as your granddaughter-in-law to ask her to take out some silver and buy you some delicious food to fulfill her filial duty?"
"If she dares to quibble and say she didn't have it, then search her! I want to see if she can get away with it!"
Gu Yuexuan was so angry that she sneered repeatedly. Just as she was about to stand up, she was shrouded in shadow again.
Tu Subo stood in front of her.
She stood there, at a loss.
The old lady said in a cold tone: "Tu Subo, the Tu Su family does not have such rules."
Tu Subo sneered and retorted, "But there's no reason for the Tu Su family to search without reason."
Tu Suye watched coldly and said cunningly, "Such a protection, could it be that what they said was true?"
"Tu Subo, did you really embezzle the property?"
Gu Yuexuan could no longer bear it. She stood up, pushed Tu Subo aside and asked, "Second Aunt, tell me, who did I bribe?"
Yu pointed at someone without hesitation: "Him!"
Gu Yuexuan turned around and asked politely, "Sir, did I really bribe you?"
Of course the accused yamen runner would not admit it: "That's absolutely not true!"
"Isn't this the end?"
She spread her hands and said with a half-smile, "Second Aunt, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want!"
If it were revealed in public, she would naturally have nothing to say.
Gu Yuexuan lightly brushed off the dust on her fingertips and said casually, "Sir, it's said that accepting bribes is a serious crime. If someone were to spread such nonsense without restraint, who knows how many people would be implicated."
The yamen runners around immediately looked at Yu with grim expressions.
But Yu was still unwilling to give up.
"Since you say you have no hidden property, do you dare to let me search?"
Gu Yuexuan said contemptuously: "Why should I let you search?"
"When the house was confiscated, the people sent by the Emperor had already searched it. Could it be that Second Aunt understood the Emperor's will in the wilderness and wanted to search it again here on his behalf?"
"nonsense!"
Tu Suting, who had been silent the whole time, frowned and interrupted, saying in a heavy tone, "The Tu Su family has suffered a great disaster, and we must not allow any more trouble to arise!"
Gu Yuexuan said this deliberately, then just smiled and pretended to be ignorant.
But if such words were to get out, it would probably trigger another catastrophic disaster!
Tu Subo also turned around and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Gu Yuexuan just smiled and pretended to be innocent.
Once these words were spoken, no one dared to propose a search again.
The old lady, who was eager to improve the food, was blocked in this way and snorted in anger.
"Great! I was really wrong before. Your new daughter-in-law is really a sharp-tongued troublemaker!"
"You have found a really good wife for Tu Subo!"
Xi Lanfang blinked her confused eyes and subconsciously looked at Gu Yuexuan: "You..."
"No."
Gu Yuexuan didn't have much affection for this cowardly and tearful mother-in-law, and replied indifferently: "Search if you don't believe me."
I want to see who dares to take action!
The body search ultimately became a farce, but discontent built up silently.
Since then, Gu Yuexuan has been repeatedly subjected to countless jealous and hateful gazes, but she turned a deaf ear to it all and didn't take it to heart at all.
Tu Subo's face became paler and paler, like the frost and snow in winter, which was shocking.
If she hadn't accidentally seen him coughing up a few strands of blood from time to time, Gu Yuexuan would have hardly realized that his illness had become so serious.
In order to avoid getting into trouble, the yamen runners who had received her "favor" did not dare to show up to seek medical treatment easily, so Gu Yuexuan had to personally take on the arduous task of helping him search for herbs.
However, as their whereabouts kept changing, the herbs she found each time were in different forms and completely different from previous types.
Xi Lanfang was naturally timid, and when he saw these unfamiliar weeds, he wanted to speak out to stop them.
But when Tu Subo was chewing these wild grasses, his eyes were firm and he had no hesitation.
The next day, Tu Subo was still busy chewing those unknown grass leaves.
Gu Yuexuan watched from the side, her eyes widening as she asked, "Aren't you worried that one day I'll accidentally pick some poisonous grass, and if I eat it, I'll die?"
Tu Subo had a blank expression on his face and said calmly, "The poison isn't fatal enough, and the wound is healing quickly."
He has personally tried countless herbs and knows exactly whether the herbs he eats have therapeutic effects.
Although the effects of the herbs collected by Gu Yuexuan may not be significant, they gradually restrained the surging blood and qi in her body.
He swallowed the last blade of grass with a stern face, then stared at Gu Yuexuan and asked curiously, "How did you master the skill of identifying herbs?"
Gu Yuexuan shook her head gently, and narrated with a complicated expression, "When I was young, I was plagued by illness and could not afford medical treatment. I could only helplessly pick wild grasses around and chew them to relieve the pain."
Tu Subo's eyes flashed with light and shadow, and a glimmer of light flashed in an instant. He frowned and said, "From now on, try not to pick those thorny herbs, okay?"
Gu Yuexuan let out a light exclamation.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"The thorns are too prickly."
As soon as Tu Subo finished speaking, he left with a serious expression.
Gu Yuexuan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing.
How could someone who could calmly face life and death day after day be afraid of something as trivial as piercing his mouth?
This is really ridiculous!
…
On the seventh night of his exile, the old marquis, who had been in a coma for a long time and could only survive by dripping water, finally regained consciousness.
At the same time, Tu Su's family bid farewell to the bustling and brightly lit Shengjing, and what awaits them is the deserted Fangling!
In the blink of an eye, more than two months have passed.
Fang County, Yuanqian Village.
"ah?!"
"How dare you let us live in such a hellish place?!"
Dusty and exhausted, Yu screamed in despair, "This is just a palm-sized piece of land! How can there be enough space for so many of us?"
Li, who always adhered to the demeanor of a scholar, could not help but reveal a trace of bitterness and sighed: "That is to say, our Tu Su family has dozens of people, and such a small space, how can we accommodate them..."
