"Luckily you were alert enough to remind your grandmother to visit Ruoliu! She was indeed not pregnant and was still a virgin."
Meanwhile, the people investigating Wan Ziyi also discovered that he had indeed accepted money from others, which is why he persuaded your cousin to drink! After your cousin got drunk, he left.
Ruoli still had some conscience and didn't dare to take it seriously with your cousin...
Gu Songhan paused, looking somewhat uneasy.
Jiang Segu didn't notice his strange behavior. "Since Ruoli isn't pregnant, then cousin should be alright now, right?!"
The little girl's eyes lit up instantly, as if someone had set off dazzling fireworks inside them.
But this person is not him!
Gu Songhan frowned slightly and nodded.
He really disliked this cousin!
It is said that these past few days, this cousin has been talking to the little girl over the courtyard wall from time to time, which is quite annoying!
Jiang Segu then asked, "Can you find out who's behind this?"
"The Yin family patriarch and that cousin had close contact with a businessman named Hu Shuguang half a year ago, especially before your maternal grandfather and eldest uncle had their accident, they met very frequently."
Even if this person is not involved in this matter, the accidents that happened to your maternal grandfather and eldest uncle must be closely related to him!
I've already ordered people to investigate Hu Shuguang, but he's elusive and we haven't found anything yet!
Is your surname Hu?
Jiang Segu tried hard to recall her previous life, and she did indeed think of someone surnamed Hu!
In his previous life, after Liang Shaojie became the top scholar in the imperial examination, he gained a follower who knew martial arts. His surname was Hu and his given name was Guang.
Could Hu Guang be Hu Shuguang?
How come I never heard of Ruoli in my previous life?
Jiang Segu forgot that in his previous life, Liang Shaojie had not been blinded by an arrow, so he naturally did not set his sights on the Yin family so quickly, and Juan Niang would not have gone to Baoding. Therefore, how could Second Madam Yin have allowed Yin Muheng to enter the capital!
Without going to the capital, and with the Yin family only reporting good news and not bad, how could she know what had happened in Baoding!
Jiang Segu pondered for a moment, suppressed his doubts, and said to Gu Songhan, "Do you think it's possible that Hu Shuguang is just that person's alias?"
Gu Songhan's expression became more serious. If it was just an alias, then finding Hu Shuguang would be like looking for a needle in a haystack!
Jiang Segu was certain that as long as his maternal grandfather's family remained in power, Hu Shuguang would reappear.
I wonder if he will appear by Liang Shaojie's side in this life?
Seeing her somber expression, Gu Songhan comforted her, "Whether it's an alias or not, his target is the Yin family. If this plan fails, he will definitely show up again."
My men have already learned what Hu Shuguang looks like from those who have seen him. They've also asked someone to draw a portrait of Hu Shuguang; make sure to give several to your maternal grandparents so they can be extra careful around him!
"Can an artist draw a person without ever seeing them?"
“Ordinary artists certainly wouldn’t be able to do it, but I happen to know an artist who can.”
A hint of admiration appeared in Jiang Segu's eyes. "I'm afraid it's not easy to invite someone with such talent!"
Gu Songhan lowered his eyes to conceal the sudden surge of agitation that welled up inside him.
"He encountered robbers back then, and I happened to save him, so asking him for help isn't difficult!"
After saying that, Gu Songhan looked up at Jiang Segu, a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Feeling a little embarrassed by the stare, Jiang Segu changed the subject, "I noticed that Young Master Gu really enjoys eating crab shell pastries, may I ask why?"
Gu Songhan was somewhat disappointed at not receiving a look of admiration, but seeing that the young girl had taken the initiative to ask him about things related to him, he was naturally happy to answer.
“My mother is from Huizhou. During festivals, she would make crab shell pastries for me to eat…”
Thinking of his mother who had passed away at a young age, Gu Songhan's eyes darkened.
Seeing this, Jiang Segu quickly changed the subject, "I noticed you only wear black clothes all day. Don't you have any other clothes? How about I buy you some clothes after I go out? Consider it a thank you gift for all the things you've done for me!"
Gu Songhan wanted to say that he had clothes, but the girl said she wanted to give them to him, so he naturally couldn't refuse her kindness!
"Then I thank Miss Jiang for her kindness!"
"Don't thank me so early, I don't even know when I'll be able to leave!"
Jiang Segu was worried about the present situation again; she couldn't be locked up in the ancestral hall forever!
"Is there anything unusual about the Ding family?"
Gu Songhan handed the letter that Wen Dong had sent to Jiang Segu.
Jiang Segu opened the book and read it carefully until she saw the sentence "Ding Weichang's beloved concubine committed suicide for love." She couldn't help but sigh at how foolish women in the world could be.
After reading the letter, Jiang Segu returned it to Gu Songhan in frustration.
"Don't worry, I had Wen Dong investigate the waiters at Chunfeng Tower. Besides Chang Ping, that waiter was the last person to see Ding Weichang. Maybe he poisoned Ding Weichang after Chang Ping left!"
What poison did Ding Weichang suffer from?
"It is said to be a flower poison extracted from poinsettias. Small amounts are harmless, but large amounts or long-term use can be fatal!"
"Poinsettia? Isn't it a good medicine for treating bruises and sprains?"
Gu Songhan said yes, but poinsettias are also poisonous! Then he asked, "How do you know that poinsettias can treat bruises and sprains?"
“I heard it from Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou raised a lot of poinsettias in her grandmother’s yard.”
Why would she keep so many poisonous poinsettias?
"Mother Zhou said that poinsettia is a good medicine for bruises and sprains. Her son-in-law's family runs a security escort agency, and she often has to go on security escort missions. So Mother Zhou raised poinsettia as a gift for her son-in-law."
Gu Songhan immediately asked, "What is Zhou Mama's son-in-law's surname? Have you ever met him?"
Jiang Segu understood that Gu Songhan suspected Zhou's mother's son-in-law.
