Chapter 77 I'm Connected with You
"Do you want to lure Gu Lintan into taking action?" Jiang Yu asked.
Jiang Xue nodded and analyzed: "According to the information I have received so far, Huang Fu is the only one in the Gu Mansion who has contact with this mother and son. I think that someone as cautious as Gu Lintan will not easily take the initiative to show up at the residence of this mother and son."
"If he doesn't make any move, even if I really dig up this mother and son and bring them to justice, he can still claim that they are Huang Fu's relatives."
"So, I have to knock on him and let him know that someone has discovered the existence of Suxi and her son."
"So, once Gu Lintan knows that someone is asking about the origins of this mother and son, he will definitely move them to a more secluded place to live, and -"
"He must have taken action, used some connections, and forged documents to give the mother and son a legitimate identity."
"As long as he's involved, I think," Jiang Xue said with a sly smile, "at the very least, we can prove that the two are husband and wife, charge him with deceiving the emperor, and then interrogate him strictly to find out how Gu Lintan took the imperial examination."
"And most importantly - if the people behind him knew that Gu Lintan had so 'carelessly' planted such a huge bomb in the capital, would they not take any action?"
"In short, I want to make Gu Lintan like a frightened bird, so that as long as he takes action, we will all gain something."
Jiang Yu was a little surprised after hearing this.
Although he knew that Jiang Xue was very smart since she was a child, he never thought that she could calculate to this extent.
Jiang Yu frowned and asked, "How do you know he is really willing to take risks for this mother and son? If he really loves this mother and son, why would he leave them behind and marry you?"
Jiang Xue said, "I couldn't figure it out at first, but Huang Fu visited the mother and son many times, including arranging a mute servant in their courtyard. I think Gu Lintan was really cautious in his arrangements for them."
Moreover, in the dream, Gu Lintan even used a sword against her in order to hide the existence of the mother and son.
Jiang Xue didn't say this.
"Since you brought them to your side and made such careful arrangements, why didn't you just hide them somewhere else instead of bringing them to the capital?"
"I bet," Jiang Xue said confidently, "I bet he is not completely heartless, and he really treats this mother and son differently and regards them as treasures."
"If he treats her so differently and has such deep feelings for her, then why can he tolerate his beloved changing from his original wife to a mistress?" Jiang Yu was puzzled.
Jiang Xue thought, if the love was deep, he could "abandon his wife and children" like this - either there was a greater favor or coercion behind it, or there was a huge benefit ahead.
She didn't know which one Gu Lintan was.
"But it's worth a try, brother." Jiang Xue said firmly.
Jiang Yu nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll help you do it. Where do they live?"
Jiang Xue walked to the desk, wrote the place name, blew it dry and sent it to Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu put away the paper and said, "Then I will go back to the palace first. My mother has been worried about my grandfather's condition in recent days, so I have to go to accompany him."
Jiang Xue nodded and said, "Has my brother gone to see my grandfather?"
Jiang Yu said, "I did go, but my grandfather wouldn't let me in to see him. He said he looked too sick and haggard, and didn't want to see anyone. He only said a few words to me through the screen."
"Did my brother talk to my grandfather?" Jiang Xue asked in surprise, "Not only did I not see him, I didn't even hear his voice. My grandfather still favors my brother."
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Yu reached out and tapped Jiang Xue's forehead, saying, "Grandfather is seriously ill, and many government affairs of the Shangshutai have not been handed over yet. He just told me some things that need attention."
"In fact, if my grandfather didn't give me some advice and help, I'm really afraid I wouldn't be able to do it well." Jiang Yu sighed.
Jiang Xue comforted him, "It's not that my brother doesn't know how to do it, it's just that he has never tried it before. Take your time, and everything will be fine."
Jiang Yu nodded, smiled at her, and said, "Then I'll go back first."
After Jiang Xue sent Jiang Yu away, she asked Fu Dong, "Brother He hasn't come yet?"
Fudong shook his head.
Jiang Xue pondered for a moment and said, "Tell Xu Chong to go to Yawu Cottage to find him and tell him that I caught a cold when I went out today and I have a headache since I came back."
Fu Dong immediately nodded and turned to find Xu Chong.
When He Zhilin arrived, he was panting with the medicine box on his back, and his collar was a little loose.
Jiang Xue asked curiously, "What happened to Brother He's clothes?"
Upon hearing this, He Zhilin quickly straightened his clothes. Xu Chong had "picked" him up by climbing over the eaves and walls at night, and his collar was torn apart.
He was a little anxious at first, but saw Jiang Xue sitting there as if nothing had happened, holding a book in her hand, staring at him with big eyes in confusion.
"Your Highness, don't you have a headache and can't get out of bed?"
"Oh, that's how it was," Jiang Xue gave him a sincere smile and said honestly, "But somehow, I just felt better. I thought lying down wouldn't help, so I sat up and read."
He Zhilin was a little annoyed and scolded: "How can Your Highness joke about your own body?!"
Jiang Xue smiled even more obediently and said, "I'm not kidding. Brother He hasn't given me any pills in the past two days. I guess my body is not feeling well without the help of medicine."
He Zhilin saw her quibbling, and although he was secretly angry, he was also glad that she was not really sick. Without saying a word, he put the medicine box on the table, opened the lid, and took out a purse.
He handed it to Jiang Xue and said, "This is three days' worth of medicine. Take it slowly. If I forget to bring it to you later, just send someone to Yawu Cottage to get it. Don't make up such lies again."
Jiang Xue took it and asked, "I went to Yawu Cottage today, but I didn't see Brother He."
He Zhilin was a little embarrassed when he heard this, and said, "I...I went to the patient's home for a consultation."
"Sister Su Yu must have told Brother He what I said," Jiang Xue tilted her head, smiling sweetly, and said, "I want to open a clinic for you, using the He family's name."
He Zhilin said nonchalantly: "I know, I have told Your Highness before - wait, what, borrow the He family's name?"
He frowned and said, "You know that I don't want to practice medicine outside under the name of the He family. What's more, I am hiding my identity from Gu Lintan..."
"I know," Jiang Xue comforted him. "I'm not asking you to be the head of the He family as He Zhilin, but as the heir of the He family's side branch. If someone really verifies this identity, I will write a letter tomorrow and ask someone to take the letter and my seal to the He family in Jiaodong to arrange your identity with the current head of the family. Don't worry."
"Why must it be so? Wouldn't it be better for me to just practice medicine?"
"Brother He, my grandfather is sick and seriously ill and doesn't want to see anyone." Jiang Xue said in a deep voice.
"What?" He Zhilin was a little surprised.
"Gu Lintan will most likely recommend you out at this time, but I will also give you a legitimate identity and recommend you out."
"Now, I have to let him know that I have already established contact with you..." Jiang Xue said softly.
