Chapter 386 387. Cherish Life
Before the other party could get angry, Li Cuicui gestured proudly, "Our Gu family is really prosperous. I, an old lady, have given us seven sons and one daughter.
Now, sometimes I can’t even recognize all the grandchildren and old ladies walking around.
Sometimes I am also very troubled. I have many children and grandchildren, and many things to take care of. I simply don’t have the time to worry about other people’s family affairs. You see, we are all human beings, so why are our fates so different?”
Old Mrs. Ning was repeatedly hit on the sore spot, and it was pointed out that the number of descendants, which was what she cared about most, was small. Now that she was being mocked by Li Cuicui, she felt that everyone around her was laughing at her.
Jin Qianqian, "They are working hard for their descendants, otherwise they wouldn't be so eager to welcome the daughter of the Xiao family into the family."
At this point, he looked at the Ning family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with curiosity, "Your concubine Xiao was taken away by Shuntian Prefecture. Has the verdict been announced? How did she poison Lord Niu so quietly?"
Everyone around was stunned. It turned out that the protagonist's family, whom they had been talking about for so long, was here.
As for a vicious woman like the daughter of the Xiao family, everyone was also discussing what kind of adulterer could make this woman commit such a vicious plot?
Some people even speculated that this was not done by one person, and that the adulterer must have contributed to it, otherwise he would not have married the woman during the mourning period. Now they finally see the real person.
The Ning family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knew that things were going to be bad when Jin Qianqian asked the latter question.
Facing the scrutiny from people around them, they couldn't even open their mouths even if they wanted to defend themselves.
At this time, the shopkeeper stepped out to smooth things over, "It was all a misunderstanding before, everyone should go home.
Everyone, if you want to see jewelry, our shop assistants here can give you a detailed introduction. "
Although he was listening with great interest, he also had to take care of the business of the shop. If things got really bad, the boss would definitely blame him.
He was afraid that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law across from him would get angry and embarrassed, so he hurriedly stepped out to smooth things over.
Feeling that they had lost face, the Ning family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left the store in shame. Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the others also dispersed.
Jin Qianqian asked the shopkeeper nonchalantly, "Didn't they come here to buy jewelry before?"
The shopkeeper already knew the other party's identity from their brief conversation. "Madam Gu, we only want to see jewelry..."
Jin Qianqian, "Then take out the jewelry they wanted to buy so I can see it."
The shopkeeper said, "...they are here to pawn their jewelry."
"Oh..." Jin Qianqian knew that she would get nothing out of asking any more questions, so she pointed to two sets of jewelry that were suitable for Li Cuicui to wear, and said, "Send them to the Gu Mansion, and the housekeeper will settle the bill with you."
"Yes," the shopkeeper responded quickly. Everyone knew that the man in front of him was a wealthy man. He bought so many shops in one go, and it seemed that he had a very rich family background.
Li Cuicui had no intention of paying attention to these things. Instead, she was still struggling with how to comfort the seventh brother's wife.
When she came to her senses, she had already left the shop. "Qianqian, if that kid Laoqi acts like a troublemaker, you can write to mom and tell her so that I can take care of him."
Jin Qianqian, "..."
"You don't have to keep it a secret for him. Is there someone who wants to be your concubine?" Jin Qianqian comforted Li Cuicui for a long time before she believed that her seventh son had no other intentions.
But when it was time for dinner at night, she still called Gu Wenheng aside and scolded him for a long time.
Only after Gu Wenheng gave repeated assurances did they let him go back to his room.
"I didn't expect that my character is not as good as yours in the eyes of the old lady." Gu Wenheng hugged his wife for comfort as soon as he entered the door.
Jin Qianqian, "Old lady, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Am I telling you not to learn from your cheap father?"
Gu Wenheng tapped Jin Qianqian's forehead lightly, "Were you eavesdropping?"
Jin Qianqian rolled her eyes at him and said, "Am I such a rude person?
This can be guessed, okay? But the old lady also indirectly helped us clear our name today.
I remember that today, not only the Ning family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were present, but also the wives of several other officials and eunuchs.”
Gu Wenheng, "Will it disturb your previous plans?"
Jin Qianqian shook her head, "It won't have much of an impact. The Xiao family girl's case is now a hot topic and everyone's attention won't be diverted to her for a while.
By the time they realize what is happening, we may have already left Beijing."
&
Whenever there is a new topic, everyone is always in high spirits.
One person's plan is short, two people's plan is long, not to mention that so many people are trying to figure it out, someone thought of the doctor.
They were able to take a life so quietly that even Shuntian Prefecture was unable to find out. Everyone was unsure. No one knew whether such a small action would be used by people familiar to them.
People value their lives, and business at all medical clinics suddenly became booming, with long queues of people seeking medical treatment.
And the question I was asked the most was, "Are you sure I don't have any other problems? I always feel like my wife has been talking in a mysterious way lately. Will I also die quietly like Lord Niu?"
"Doctor, I think my daughter-in-law wants to kill me. Can you help me check if my body is poisoned?"
“…”
These doctors really wanted to roll their eyes. They were all strong and healthy, and it was simply a waste of their time. If they didn't want to make more money, they wouldn't want to listen to so many people repeating the same thing over and over again.
What scares them the most is that if you don't give a positive answer, these people will nag in your ears, ask questions non-stop, and even doubt their medical skills.
After listening to the stethoscopes for half a day, some doctors could feel a constant noise in their ears. If this continues, it would not be the patients who would get sick, but they, the doctors, would have to die first.
There are also those people who are extremely curious. Not only do they ask about their own illnesses, they also ask them what medicine they use to commit murder and robbery, and how they can do it so perfectly.
When they meet such people, they are speechless. They are doctors who treat and save lives, so why do these people look at them with curiosity and wariness?
"Doctor, are you sure there's nothing wrong with me?" Old Mrs. Ning had finally gotten her turn, but she refused to accept this answer.
"As you get older, you will have some health problems. All medicines are toxic. Just go back and rest more." The old doctor rolled his eyes. Is it worth the trouble to take care of such a blind old woman?
Ever since the incident involving Xiao Wanyu was exposed, Old Lady Ning has been restless all day long. This is already the fifth doctor she has consulted.
Although everyone told her that there was nothing wrong with her body, she did not believe in their medical skills and could only keep seeking medical treatment.
I didn't expect that after waiting in such a long line today, I still got a few light words.
