Deep in the bushes, Gu Jiu's face was calm.
It turns out that last autumn, the original owner fell into the water, and it was Gu Yue who sent someone to do it. I'm afraid Xu Yuanniang is also involved.
The original owner was already weak and fell into a pool in late autumn. As expected, he fell ill after being rescued.
After that, the original owner was seriously ill and died this year at the hands of Taohong.
The original owner died, and then Gu Jiu came through.
Upon hearing the truth, Gu Jiu's eyebrows didn't even move.
Qingmei's maids were different, they were about to explode.
Gu Jiu smiled indifferently, "Shh, stop yelling. We'll talk about this later."
Gu Yue and Xu Yuanniang chatted for a few more words, then left and walked towards a crowded place.
Gu Jiu walked out from behind the bushes, looked at the two people's backs as they walked away, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"It turned out that the third girl pushed you into the water. Girl, we can't just let this go. We must get an explanation."
Qingmei was very angry and felt sorry for Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, this matter certainly can't be let go like this."
After all, she occupied the original owner's body, so no matter what, she had to get it back for the original owner with interest.
Today, why not ask for some interest first.
"Let's go too."
Gu Jiu continued to stroll in the yard with the maids.
By the pond, Gu Jiu suddenly squatted down, stretched out his hand and tested the water temperature.
The water is not cold at all. If you fall into it, you won’t catch a cold.
"Girl, be careful."
Qingmei looked nervous.
Last year, Gu Jiu fell into the water and became seriously ill. Since then, Qingmei and Qingzhu have been particularly careful, fearing that Gu Jiu would get close to water.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "It's okay. Last year, I fell into a pond this big. Do you think this pond is deep?"
"It shouldn't be deep." Qingzhu said uncertainly.
Qingmei looked worried, "Girl, are you okay?"
Gu Jiu smiled, stood up, took out a handkerchief and wiped the water droplets off his hands. "Let's go, find a place to rest for a while."
Not long after walking out, Qingzhu suddenly shouted.
"Ah! Is that Aunt Ping?"
Qingzhu pointed at a hurried figure in the flowers ahead.
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger.
Qingmei said, "It really is Aunt Ping. I remember the dress she's wearing. I saw it this morning."
Gu Jiu was very curious, "Madame Ping isn't here to serve Madam. Where is she going in such a hurry?"
After saying that, Gu Jiu asked Qingzhu to follow and take a look.
Gu Jiu sat in the pavilion waiting.
After about an incense stick of time, Qingzhu ran back.
"Miss, I saw Madam Ping enter the front yard, stay there for a short while, and then sneak out again. Madam Ping was very alert, and I was almost discovered."
Gu Jiu looked towards the courtyard Qingzhu mentioned. The courtyard was nestled in the woods, so far away that only a roof could be vaguely seen.
She was very curious about what Nanny Ping was doing in that courtyard?
Qingmei asked softly, "Girl, do we need to go over and take a look?"
Gu Jiu thought about it, nodded and said, "Come with me to take a look."
Qingzhu led the way and brought Gu Jiu to the gate of the courtyard.
It was quiet all around, with no one in sight.
Qingzhu stepped forward and pushed gently, and the gate was actually opened.
The gate is not locked. Do you want to go in next?
Qingzhu looked at Gu Jiu, waiting for him to make a decision.
Gu Jiu was very decisive and walked straight into the courtyard.
The yard was also quiet, with no one in sight.
"There's no one here. Girl, let's leave." Qingzhu was a little nervous and a little scared in her heart.
Gu Jiu frowned slightly.
She smelled a faint sweet scent, which seemed to be coming from the room, and the smell was somewhat tempting.
This smell was so unfamiliar, but Gu Jiu could discern a hint of wild grass from it.
Huh?
Gu Jiu had a bad guess.
She took prompt action, took out her handkerchief, covered her mouth and nose, took two steps at a time, walked forward, and flung open the door.
A sweet smell filled my nose, spreading from the door into the yard and gradually dissipating into the air.
It really is a drug!
Gu Jiu waved his arms and said to the maids, "Cover your mouth and nose, you will be fine in a while."
Then she walked into the house first.
Pei Yun lay helplessly on the bed. She had never expected that she would fall into trouble just because of a negligence.
She was filled with immense anger and panic.
what to do?
What should she do if someone comes in?
Who is plotting against her?
Is she the wife of the prefect, or my father's political enemy?
Pei Yun gritted her teeth. If anyone wanted to destroy her innocence, she would kill the person with a knife no matter what, and then end her own life.
At this moment, the door suddenly opened from the outside.
Pei Yun opened her eyes wide, feeling shocked and frightened.
Who is coming?
Then, she unexpectedly heard a girl's voice.
"Cover your mouth and nose, you'll be fine in a moment."
Pei Yun was eager to know who the visitor was, but she couldn't move, only her eyes could move left and right.
Gu Jiu covered his mouth and nose and walked into the house.
The incense is still burning, emitting an alluring aroma.
Gu Jiu walked forward and directly extinguished the incense.
She looked towards the side bedroom and saw Pei Yun.
"You..." Aren't you the girl dressed as a man in Tianmen Temple?
Gu Jiu calmed down and asked, "Why are you here?"
Pei Yun opened her mouth, but her tongue was stiff and she couldn't make any sound.
Gu Jiu hurriedly said, "Don't worry. You've been drugged. It looks serious, but the antidote is actually very simple. It's just cold water."
Pei Yun's eyes showed gratitude.
Thank God, she was saved.
"Xiao Cui, Yan Zi, go get a basin of water. Qing Zhu, you guard the gate and keep an eye out for any noise outside. If anyone comes, report to me immediately. Qing Mei, come and help."
After one order after another was given, several maids took action.
Qingmei covered her mouth and nose and walked into the room.
He was surprised to see Pei Yun.
"Girl, this, this..."
Gu Jiu said calmly, "This girl has been drugged. This matter must not be made public. Remember that?"
Qingmei nodded repeatedly.
Considering the strange behavior of Aunt Ping before, it is very likely that the girl in front of him was plotted against by Aunt Ping.
What should I do?
Qingmei was panicked for a moment.
Gu Jiu looked at her with calm eyes.
Qingmei was affected and gradually calmed down.
The girl is right, this matter must not be made public.
Nanny Ping is a member of the Gu family.
If people knew that the Gu family was plotting against another girl in the General's Mansion, no matter who did it, it would definitely affect the reputation of the Gu family.
The unmarried girls of the Gu family will be the first to be affected.
If this matter gets out, it will be difficult for the girls of the Gu family to get married. Even Gu Jiu will not be spared.
"Girl, here comes the clean water."
Xiao Cui shouted at the door.
"Give me the water."
Qingmei quickly took the basin from Xiaocui and said, "You two stand guard at the door."
"Yes, Sister Qingmei."
Qingmei closed the door and walked into the side bedroom carrying a basin of water.
"Girl, Qingshui is here."
Gu Jiu smiled gently at Pei Yun, "Don't worry, you'll be able to move around soon."
Pei Yun was filled with gratitude.
Unexpectedly, she would be so lucky. She had already reached a desperate situation, but at the critical moment, she was pulled back by the girl in front of her.
He wiped Pei Yun's cheeks and limbs with clean water, and gave her a large glass of cold water.
Gradually, Pei Yun felt that her fingers could move and her tongue could be straightened.
She looked at Gu Jiu and said gratefully, "Thank you!"
Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "You're welcome."
"Excuse me, who are you from? What should I call you?" Pei Yun asked curiously.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "My name is Gu Jiu."
Pei Yun heard this and asked, "Your last name is Gu. Could it be that you are the daughter of Mr. Gu, the governor of Jinzhou?"
Gu Jiu nodded, "It's my father."
Pei Yun's eyes were excited, and she gently held Gu Jiu's hand, "Thank you! My last name is Pei, and my name is Pei Yun."
She was indeed the daughter of Pei Ren, Marquis of Lu.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "You're welcome, Miss Pei. You'll be able to move freely soon."
Pei Yun nodded.
At this time, Qingzhu knocked on the door gently.
Gu Jiu looked at Qingzhu at the door, wondering if someone was coming.
Gu Jiu immediately said, "Qingmei, take good care of Miss Pei. I'll be back soon."
Gu Jiu walked out of the room, Qing Zhu looked panicked
She whispered to Gu Jiu, "Second Miss, something bad has happened. I saw the Sixth Young Master coming this way."
"Are you sure?"
Gu Jiu couldn't believe it, it turned out to be Gu Yan.
