After Gu Xin finished speaking, without waiting for Lu Ni's reply, she looked directly at Lu Zheng: "Young Master Lu, what do you think of this matter?"
Lu Zheng said solemnly, "Even princes are subject to the law, and our Zhenguo Duke's Mansion will never protect anyone. Therefore, Princess Xin Xin, please follow the procedures and do as required!"
Gu Xin said with a look of agreement, "As expected of the late Duke who personally requested the title of heir, Prince Lu, you have the demeanor of the late Duke! The Lu family tradition has not been destroyed under Prince Lu, and I am very gratified!"
Lu Zheng clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Princess Xin Xin, you flatter me!"
Lu Ni, her face flushed, roared, "You two, that's enough! Stop putting on this act! You're trying to kill me! You're trying to kill me!"
Gu Shouxin, Bai Yi, and Zheng Qiu both thought Lu Ni's shout was great! These two are such good actors!
There's a limit to mutual flattery, isn't there?
If this continues, the July weather will give these two goosebumps.
Gu Xin frowned and looked at Lu Ni: "Although this is not a courtroom, you can't make a lot of noise here!"
Lu Ni pointed at Gu Xin: "Gu Xin, you know Lu Zheng doesn't get along with us. You want Lu Zheng to make the decisions instead of asking my parents. You're trying to kill me!"
Gu Xin calmly asked, "Then may I ask Miss Lu, did your father, the Duke of Zhenguo, say that from now on he will be busy preparing for his son's wedding and will not have time to manage other matters, and that all matters will be left to his son, the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo, namely General Lu Zheng?"
Lu Ni gritted her teeth.
Gu Xin continued, "Besides, you yourself admitted that you gave this to Princess Nanlin. Even if the Duke of Zhenguo came, he couldn't take you away. You'd better confess properly! Tell me, why did you poison her?"
Lu Ni was furious and didn't even have time to continue looking for her parents. She quickly defended herself: "I didn't poison them!"
Gu Xin said, "Since you didn't come here specifically to poison her, then what are you here for? You don't know medicine, and Princess Nanlin's injuries are serious. How could you have the energy to attend to you for an hour?"
Lu Ni: "I'm here because I have something to discuss."
Gu Xin's lips curled slightly, giving no one time to react, and continued, "What is it? Something so important and secretive that it requires disguise in the middle of the night, under the guise of delivering medicine?"
Lu Ni: "We..."
She realized what was happening and shut up.
Gu Xin said, "If you can't answer, then I can only assume that you came with poison and intended to harm Princess Longzhu'er of Nanlin."
Lu Ni was so angry she wanted to stomp her feet. She glared at Gu Xin and said hatefully, "I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
Gu Xin: "Then tell me, what important matter brings you here in the middle of the night, disguised and sneaking around to find Princess Longzhu'er? I remember that after Princess Longzhu'er arrived in the Great Zhou, she mostly befriended princesses from the palace and the princesses from the Western Lands. I haven't heard of her being particularly close to any noble lady. So, what is it you're after?"
Lu Ni pursed her lips; she had already realized what was going on.
Gu Xin did it on purpose, deliberately wanting her to reveal her conspiracy so that everyone could see it, and then people would say that she had insulted her mother, that Princess Xinxin was unlucky, and that General Lu was unlucky.
Gu Xin is too ruthless!
Lu Ni felt that her mother's guess about Gu Xin was wrong. Even if this person married into the Gu family, Lu Zheng was not at home, and they could not control her.
