Chapter 74 Madam, do you like it?
The court doctor took back the silver needle and respectfully presented it to Gu Huailing, "Your Excellency, the chicken soup is non-toxic."
After saying this, Lord Gu let out a long sigh.
He flicked his sleeves, pointed at Gu Huailing and shouted angrily, "You rebellious son, you actually suspected your father. Do you still have any filial piety in your heart? The emperor governs the world with benevolence and filial piety. If your actions today were to get out, the position of Prime Minister would probably be replaced!"
"If you withdraw your plan to split up the palace, I will not mention this matter again. Otherwise, I will write a memorial tonight!"
Every word Lord Gu spoke was powerful and passionate!
"Chicken soup is not poisonous, but it contains aconite. After taking it, people will become increasingly afraid of cold and sleepy, and eventually become bedridden." Chen Yuan's cold voice rang out.
She stood in front of Gu Huailing and asked, "Why would the Marquis blame me like this? Don't you know what you did?"
"Could the court doctor please check again to see if there is any aconite in the chicken soup."
The court doctor stepped forward and dipped his finger into the soup and put it on his lips.
He put down the soup bowl in his hand and said respectfully to Gu Huailing Chen Yuan, "Your Excellency and Madam, there is indeed aconite in the soup."
Lord Gu's expression changed, and he was about to refute when he was interrupted by Shen Yuan.
"The Marquis asked me to call your steward and ask him what he bought at Huichun Hall yesterday?"
"According to the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty, if a scholar poisons his mother, his crime shall be increased to one level and he shall be executed immediately." A cold and deep voice sounded.
Gu Huailing had an expressionless face and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking, but the pressure that had accumulated over the years made him feel like he was sitting there like a court of his own.
Lord Gu's knees softened and he was about to kneel down towards Gu Huailing.
Chen Yuan immediately asked Sanjiu to hold him. Her voice was extremely cold. "Father kneels to his son. Is the Marquis trying to make you unfaithful and unfilial?"
She had never seen anyone with such a muddled mind, yet he still enjoyed the title. He was truly lucky!
Lord Gu saw that there was no room for maneuver on Gu Huailing's face.
He hurried to kneel before Madam Gu and said, "Mother, please save me. Mother, I was possessed by a ghost for a moment. I just didn't want Huai Ling to split up the mansion. I didn't mean to harm you."
He seemed to be possessed by a ghost. He picked up the half bowl of chicken soup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking, he looked at Madam Gu and said, "Mother, this amount won't hurt you at all. How could your son poison you? Besides, you didn't drink it, did you?"
Old Madam Gu was extremely disappointed, and he is still trying to justify himself.
Chen Yuan sneered, "The Marquis is in his prime, so he'll probably be fine even if he drinks ten more bowls, but what about Grandmother? She's already old, what if she can't handle it?"
Chen Yuan's words hit Lord Gu like a blow to the head, and a chill spread from the soles of his feet.
Yes, his mother is old, why didn’t he think of it?
He knelt dejectedly in front of Madam Gu, "Please, mother, spare me this time. I am your only son. Do you really want to watch me die?"
Even if the children are no longer there, a mother will always be soft-hearted.
Old Madam Gu looked at her son kneeling in front of her. In an instant, she seemed to have aged ten years. She tried to speak several times but was too trembling to speak.
Chen Yuan looked at Madam Gu, a trace of pity flashed in her eyes, "If grandma doesn't want to live in the Gu Mansion, granddaughter-in-law is willing to take grandma to live with us."
"Good boy, your grandfather is here. Grandma won't go anywhere. Come and help her up." Old Madam Gu waved to Chen Yuan.
Old Madam Gu stood up, walked to Lord Gu, raised her hand and slapped him hard in the face.
"You rebellious son!"
Lord Gu was hit so hard that he turned his head away. "Mother taught me a lesson. I will never dare to do it again."
Madam Gu slapped him in the face again, "You disappoint me so much!"
After saying that, he walked over to Gu Huailing and sat down. "Ling'er, family disgrace should not be made public. There are so many eyes staring at you. You must not punish your father. Leave this matter to your grandmother."
Gu Huailing looked at the wrinkled eyes of Old Madam Gu, and finally couldn't bear to see his grandmother sad, so he nodded.
Lord Gu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground. At least his life was saved.
He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Gu Huailing's cold and indifferent voice suddenly become sharp, "Tomorrow morning, I want to see the Marquis's resignation letter."
Lord Gu’s face turned pale. This was going to cost him his life!
In early May, Gu Huailing and Chen Yuan moved out of the Marquis' Mansion.
Their mansion wasn't big, but Chen Yuan liked it very much. She personally took care of every plant and tree in the mansion.
In the fragmented sunlight, Gu Huailing rolled up his sleeves, revealing his beautifully toned arms, and was concentrating on rubbing a hemp rope. Under his feet was a piece of fine pine wood.
The wooden board was smooth and exuded a refreshing wood fragrance. He had specially found it to make a swing for Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan sat on a recliner nearby, eating grapes and drinking sour plum soup.
Finally, when he saw the beads of sweat on Gu Huailing's forehead, he felt guilty.
She picked up the sour plum soup she had drunk, walked over, took out a handkerchief and gently pressed it on his forehead.
Looking at his noble and unique profile, she said softly, "Husband, drink some sour plum soup and rest for a while."
Gu Huailing frowned as he looked at the pitch-black sour plum soup.
He doesn't like sour food, but A Yuan likes this sour and sweet taste.
Chen Yuan looked at his embarrassed expression and wanted to play a trick on him.
"Does my husband think sour plum soup is not good? It's all my fault. I didn't understand what my husband likes. But what can I do? My husband has to like what I like too."
She spoke softly, looking distressed.
Gu Huailing narrowed his eyes dangerously.
The distance between the two people was very close, and the fragrance of sour plum soup seeped into their breath bit by bit.
Gu Huailing looked at the woman's smiling eyes, put his arm around her waist, and with his other hand took the sour plum soup and drank it in one gulp.
Chen Yuan's heart suddenly started beating very fast, a blush appeared on her ears, and she pushed Gu Huailing lightly, "Husband, you're holding me too tight."
Gu Huailing put the teacup aside and tightened his arms.
He leaned over and kissed her.
At first it was just a taste, but later it became a huge hurricane.
The aroma of sour plum soup lingered between their lips and teeth.
Slightly sour and very sweet.
Gu Huailing didn't let Chen Yuan go until she could hardly breathe.
Both of them were breathing unsteadily. Chen Yuan's breathing was hot and she buried her face in Gu Huailing's chest.
Gu Huailing lifted the woman's chin and twisted her lips maliciously with his fingertips.
He chuckled and asked her, "Does Madam like it?"
Chen Yuan glared at him angrily, and Gu Huailing said again: "What should I do? The lady I like must also like it."
When did Gu Huailing become so childish, using his own words to talk back at himself?
She was so embarrassed that her face turned rouge. "You are not allowed to enter the house until the swing is ready today!"
Gu Huailing smiled, "Okay, then let me collect some interest."
Chen Yuan climbed onto his neck with both hands, tapped her feet lightly and kissed him actively.
“Ahem—”
Suddenly, Sijiu's cough was heard on the roof.
Chen Yuan was so frightened that she immediately let go of Gu Huailing. She looked up with embarrassment on her face.
The corner of his eye inadvertently glanced behind him.
Gu Yao was seen walking towards that station with a look of excitement on her face and eyes full of excitement!
