"Yes, there really is. Can you help me check which of the people who delivered babies at the time were killed by Grandma He? I don't need any concrete evidence, just 90% of it will be fine."
Lu Anyuan choked. If it’s 90% true, then it’s true. Yixing, you really know how to assign tasks!
"Okay, I'll find a way."
The carriage took the two of them back to the mansion. Lu Anyuan naturally tried to find a way to complete the task he had taken on. While Xu Yixing contacted the shadow guard, he was thinking about the possible consequences of this incident.
This was also her last time to test her father. If her father knew about this and chose to execute Gu or divorce her, or even hand her over to the authorities, then Xu Yixing felt that she could still talk to her father about her mother's affairs.
Xu Yixing always had a fantasy, wondering whether his father had his own reasons for doing that, or whether he had no choice.
This fantasy is not false, it comes from her father's attitude towards her, of course, when she was still Xu Yixing.
Although there were three children in the family at that time, my father treated me the best, providing me with everything I needed, including food, education, and resources. Even Xu Yiwen, the only one who could inherit the family fortune, didn't get much more than me.
The reason she understood at that time was that her father valued her so much because she was her mother's daughter and the daughter of her father's most beloved person.
So Xu Yixing was very conflicted. This conflict had never ceased since the day she was reborn and felt the other side of her father. Although her father had disappointed her time and time again and had tried to cover up what happened in the past, Xu Yixing still couldn't hate him as much as she did towards Gu or Gu Pozi.
After all, my father has never done anything to let me down, and he still loves me.
So Xu Yixing decided that this was the last time, the last time she would test her father after seeing his true colors. If her father chose to save face after learning about what happened to Liu and He, then she would have no attachment to the Xu family.
To say that after today comes tomorrow is nonsense. To visit today and say goodbye tomorrow is also nonsense.
The thank-you banquet was not held at the Seventh Prince's residence, but at Madam Jing's. The process went smoothly. Xu Yixing only needed to install the vase for a day, and the ceremony was over.
Only when Mrs. Jing said that she hoped she would give birth to a little nephew as soon as possible, Lu Anyuan smiled shyly, and Xu Yixing smiled a little guilty.
Ying Si had already tested the medicine Mr. Yao had given her, and it was indeed fine. But Ying Jiu said that Ying Si had complained a lot, asking why she had taken Mr. Yao's medicine without asking him for more, and that she had already prepared the best pregnancy-supporting medicine, so it was all wasted.
It was impossible to have a child, at least not in the next few years. Mr. Yao had given her a three-year deadline, but Xu Yixing felt it would take at least five years. Not only did her body need to detoxify, but more importantly, she needed time to clear the obstacles for herself and Lu Anyuan.
It would take at least five years to resolve all the old enemies, right? Otherwise, the emperor would be old, and once he passed away, the situation in the capital would change drastically, and it would be hard to say who would live and who would die.
It was not until after the 20th that Xu Yixing finally felt relaxed. The marriage had been going on for so long, and it was finally over.
It’s time to get a good night’s sleep tonight. She was referring to the Gu family, not herself, because tomorrow morning, something big will happen that will cause even more headaches for the Gu family and the powerful people in the capital.
Just enjoy this last quiet night.
On the morning of September 21st, Gu looked at the stewards who came to the courtyard to report for duty with a smile on her face. Yes, just last night, the master had regained his power as the housekeeper. After such a long time, looking at these stewards again, they really felt a little unfamiliar.
But the difference is that now she no longer has Nanny Gu by her side. Although she hates Nanny Gu, she still misses her often. After such a long friendship, it is like a family member has died. How can she not be sad?
"Madam, everyone is here. Please give your instructions."
Huiting's voice woke up Gu, who had just been distracted. She immediately pulled herself out of the situation, smiled, and began her lecture:
"A lot of big things have happened in our family recently. Everyone worked really hard during the Second Young Lady's wedding. But it's only been a few days and someone else is causing trouble!"
Gu said the first sentence with a smile, but the next day her tone immediately changed, scaring the managers so much that they dared not breathe.
"Someone, bring Huixi and that shameless adulterer here!"
After everyone in the courtyard had seen the two people stripped naked, Gu raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction: "I'm sure everyone has heard about their affairs. I never thought that such a shameful thing would happen to our Xu family. It's really hateful!"
"Come here, beat these two men to death and serve as a warning to others!"
Gu's thin lips uttered the final verdict on the two. The stewards watched as the man and woman were tortured to death by the thorny family discipline. Their expressions varied, but without exception, their eyes were filled with fear.
Gu was very satisfied with the current results. Although he was not a new official, he also needed these three things to prevent others from thinking that he had not been in charge of the household for a while and rushing to cause trouble for him.
After the morning meeting, Gu walked into the inner room with her head held high.
"Madam, you are so majestic today. I see that none of the maids in charge disobey you!" Huiting saw that Madam was in a very good mood, so she quickly went to praise her.
"I'm just killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. Look, I've only been giving up power for a few days, and the family is already in such a mess. Without me, this family would be in chaos!"
"Yes, yes, Madam has been in power for many years and there has never been any trouble. The last incident was entirely Huixiang's fault! After considering it for these days, the master finally discovered your advantages!"
"Yeah." Gu looked at herself in the mirror, feeling extremely proud. It was so great that everything went smoothly for her as soon as her second daughter got married. She felt so comfortable!
"Madam, madam! Something happened! Something...something happened!" The servant at the door shouted as he came in. Even tripping over the threshold couldn't stop him from howling.
Gu was very unhappy. It was really bad luck to hear such an unlucky statement so early in the morning. Turning around, she saw the servant holding a few pieces of paper, waving them vigorously, sweating profusely.
"What happened? Don't panic, tell me slowly!"
"Grandma He is dead!"
"Her?" Gu's eyelids twitched, but she quickly calmed down. It would be better if she died! This old woman had killed countless people, she should have died long ago.
"She died for her own good, why are you panicking? Is she your mother and is she asking you to mourn here?"
"When Grandma He died, she left behind a confession. Now it's going viral throughout the capital, and even Jingzhao Prefecture has taken it over!"
