Gu Yunzhao was not completely clueless. He had a vague guess that the reason why Gu's mother went there in vain must be closely related to Aunt Liu.
He had indeed promised Aunt Liu before that if Gu Qing's mother passed away in the future, he would naturally help her become his legal wife.
only--
Now Gu Qing is also involved.
If Chen Zhizhou simply came to ask for someone and the Chen family asked for an explanation, that would be fine.
Gu Qing is the most crucial link in his and the Fifth Prince's move to the Chen family. Now he is unconscious and the situation is so serious. How can he explain to the Fifth Prince?
Naturally, all the blame was pushed onto Aunt Liu.
"The heaven and earth are our witnesses, the sun and the moon can bear witness to this. My lord, you must be discerning and give me justice and innocence! If this gets out and others misunderstand me, how can I live my life? For so many years, I have treated Qing'er and Miao'er as if they were your own children. My lord, you have seen it all..." Aunt Liu cried earth-shakingly.
Before Gu Yunqi could say anything, he fainted.
Gu Yunzhao slammed his hand down on the table in frustration. He glanced back at Aunt Liu with a hint of resentment, and shouted to the housekeeper outside, "Send someone to investigate immediately. Who is responsible for today's breakfast? What did the young lady and the mistress eat last night? Has anyone visited the house..."
Under normal circumstances, no matter what, as husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace, Gu Yunzhao should naturally go and visit his mother.
But he...
After hearing the report from his subordinates that his wife had bleeding from all seven orifices and died in a horrific manner, and that the body had to be sent to the charity cemetery for examination, he simply waved his sleeves, sighed, and dropped the matter.
What no one expected was that the culprit was found so quickly...
Cuiru was brought in from outside, her little face ashen.
Gu Yunzhao sat on a chair. He first glanced at Gu Miao standing beside him, then his eyes fell on Cuiru. He shouted at her, "How dare you, a mere slave from the Chen family, lay hands on my wife and daughter!"
Cui Ru pursed her lips and glanced at the person lying on the bed. She hesitated for a long time, wanting to say something, but pretended to be very embarrassed...
"Dad, I heard that yesterday a maid heard Cui Ru standing outside and scolded my sister behind her back, saying that my sister was already a married woman but still unfaithful and had an affair. She also said that she wanted to speak up for their third young master, saying that marrying a wife like this was a shame. It's really..." Gu Miao knew that this matter implicated her mother, and even though she was a little impatient, she added fuel to the fire.
Gu Qing, who was lying on the bed pretending to be unconscious, heard everything clearly...
She had already taken care of everything in the Gu family.
The greatest credit for all this goes to Concubine Liu. If it weren't for Concubine Liu, she wouldn't have been able to bribe so many servants in such a short time.
Just like Pei'er, everyone has weaknesses. If you can find their weaknesses, you can easily exploit them...
What's more, Gu Qing didn't ask them to do anything harmful, so naturally no one would criticize them.
"Who is the mastermind behind you?" Gu Yunzhao narrowed his eyes. He glanced back at Gu Qing, who was lying unconscious on the bed and vomiting blood from time to time...
Cuiru seemed to be mute, biting her lips tightly and refusing to say anything.
After a while, Gu Yunzhao waved to the servant outside, "Send her to the Dali Temple and interrogate her thoroughly. Who is so vicious and whose hand is so long that it has extended to my Gu family! They dared to hurt my wife and children. Even if I risk my life, I, Gu Yunzhao, will seek justice for them!"
Hearing Gu Yunzhao's words, Gu Qing sneered in his heart.
What he cared about was not the life or death of his mother or himself, but the wealth and glory of his later life.
Cuiru was taken out of the Gu Mansion.
The Gu family’s affairs soon became a hot topic and were known throughout the city!
Chen Zhizhou did not slack off at all and immediately brought people to the door.
However, Gu Yunzhao used a few words and cleverly used the excuse that Chen Zhizhou had behaved improperly and secretly sent someone to poison his wife to directly block the person from entering the door.
For a time, everyone followed the crowd and pushed the matter of Gu Qing and Chen Zhizhou to the forefront.
All the civil and military officials in the court know it!
Concubine Liu wasn't at all timid. She stood by the window, leisurely sipping tea from a porcelain cup in one hand while observing the scenery in the courtyard. "Hey, I've already sent someone to the Dali Temple to take care of things. Plus, the Fifth Prince is definitely hoping this is the Chen family's doing. Only in this way can we eradicate the Chen family and the Third Prince's lineage. Just rest assured, I'll be doing my job for you."
"Mother, I still feel a little worried..." Gu Miao murmured softly with a droopy face, "I heard that Gu Qing is still breathing. As long as she comes back to life, even if you become your principal wife, it won't matter. As long as she lives, there will be no chance for us to succeed."
Aunt Liu also felt that what Gu Miao said made sense...
She put down the porcelain cup in her hand heavily, straightened her clothes with a smile, and said, "Go and see your miserable sister again."
However, at this time——
Gu Qing had already sent someone to send a message to Chen Zhizhou, asking him to spread the word that she had the list in her hands.
The list was just Gu Qing's speculation.
But no matter whether it is true or false, Li Xiangsheng naturally wants to find out.
It turned out to be just as she expected.
Liao Ran came in from outside to report, "Young Madam, are you ready? The Fifth Prince has already entered the front gate of the Gu residence, and Concubine Liu is on her way to see you."
"That's perfect. I was just worried about how the show would go on if one of them was missing today." Gu Qing curled his lips and gave a sly smile.
Now Liangran finally understood exactly what the Third Young Master liked about the Young Madam.
Despite such a big thing, she still had a calm expression on her face... and was calmly planning her next move.
Bingxue is very intelligent and meticulous.
The two of them together are truly a powerful combination.
A match made in heaven!
"Hide well, the person is coming." Gu Qing turned around and glanced at Lan Ran, then gave him a wink.
She also quickly returned to the bed, pulled up the quilt and lay down.
only--
Chen Zhizhou sent a letter. She was still thinking about this matter in her heart. If she leaked the list of names to Li Xiangsheng, he would know that Gu Yunzhao had another trick up his sleeve. Given his ruthless methods, he would definitely speed up the process of forcing the emperor to abdicate...
General Hu Mang, the general of the escort flag, is already on his way to the capital.
