Sometimes killing is like playing chess.
Take Nanny Gu, for example. Before Xu Yixing arrived, she was afraid that the Madam wouldn't save her, but she was still relatively at ease. She ate and slept peacefully, though her life was a little hard, but she was full of hope.
But once she arrived, two of his beliefs, which were also the two reasons why Gu had to save him, were all negated.
And now she is rubbing salt into her own wounds, forcing her to doubt and guess whether there is poison in every meal and every drink.
This is going to scare myself to death!
"You vile woman... You will not have a good end!"
"A murderer like you, do you think others are cruel? Anyway, you won't see what happened to me. Bye."
After Xu Yixing finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, which made Mrs. Gu suspicious: Didn’t she come here to inquire about the truth of that year and who killed her? Why is she leaving now?
Could it be that she was so certain that she was going to die soon that she didn't need to do anything herself?
"No! Second Miss... Second Miss, please wait a moment. I, I have something else to say! Please save me!"
Xu Yixing paused, smiled, and then turned back with a serious face: "It's better to be what I want to hear."
Mrs. Gu swallowed hard, her mouth full of the taste of blood. She knew she was on a pirate ship, but there was nothing she could do. If Gu Shuang didn't save her, then she had to save herself!
"Madam Liu did die of illness. It was Madam who issued the order not to allow her to see a doctor and warned the court physician not to treat her. But, at the time, we certainly didn't expect this would cost her her life."
What? Shame on you! You're right to deny someone medical treatment? Xu Yixing gripped the whip tightly, wondering if he should hit her again.
"Really! Aunt Liu is just a criminal slave. Although she's pretty, she doesn't have a son. She poses no threat to her at all. There's no need for her to kill anyone!"
Hmm? That seems to be true... Is there something else going on?
"You're looking at me, aren't you? Dad loves her, and she'll have a son sooner or later. How can Gu not be afraid?"
"No, no! The Second Miss was young and didn't remember anything. Aunt Liu couldn't have children at that time!"
Um... not remembering things has nothing to do with age.
"you say."
"When Aunt Liu gave birth to you, her body was already damaged and she would never get pregnant again. Miss, think about this, did you often see Aunt Liu suffer from abdominal pain when you were a child, needing to rest in bed, and her menstrual period was very long and dripping?"
Xu Yixing strained his memory. It seemed like, it seemed like that, right? Aunt Liu's face was always flushed, and she looked weak from excessive blood loss. She looked unhealthy, like she could fall over with a single gust of wind. Was it a postpartum illness?
"Her illness has been with her for a long time. She was treated several years ago, but it cost her a lot of money and it was of no use. That's why my wife stopped me from getting treated because she thought it was a waste of money!"
"You are right, right?" Xu Yixing raised the whip high, scaring Mrs. Gu so much that she crawled backwards.
"No, no, no! What I want to say is, we didn't kill her. It was a chronic disease, not fatal at all. It just made her uncomfortable. Later, it was Aunt Liu herself who disregarded her health and had intense sex with Master, which caused the hemorrhage!"
Huh? Xu Yixing's hand stopped in mid-air, violently... Sexual intercourse, hemorrhage?
Doesn’t that mean that it was Dad who killed Yi Yan’s mother?
Xu Yixing didn't know what to say for a moment, his face turning pale and blue. If these things really needed to be investigated, it was not impossible, but who in the mansion would dare to say that it was because the master killed the concubine? They could only say that she was ignorant and neglected her health, and died of illness.
I think Yi Yan didn't know the truth all these years because someone deliberately concealed it, so she just thought that it was Gu Pozi and Gu Shuang who were doing bad things. Who could doubt her own father!
"Dad, do you know about Auntie's illness?"
"How could I not know this?"
Well, as expected, men only care about their own happiness and don't care about the lives of others. Even if it was really Aunt Liu who took the initiative, Dad should have refused because she was sick. Besides, who knows who took the initiative in the first place.
This feels really bad. Xu Yixing felt a little dizzy, very dizzy.
She forced herself to stand up and pointed at Mrs. Gu: "But it's true that you withheld my monthly allowance, abused me, and wanted to embarrass me, so don't even think about exonerating yourself!"
"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong! But how dare I disobey my lady's orders?"
Mrs. Gu pretended to be innocent. If she hadn't been directing her from behind, how could Mrs. Gu have done those things?
Xu Yixing suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her collar: "Tell me, was it you who caused her to get sick during childbirth? Did you find the midwife in the mansion? It can't be that Gu found one herself. She wasn't even pregnant, how could she know all this?
And Yiwen, his mother also didn't take good care of herself after her confinement, and died earlier than Aunt Liu! Killing the mother to take the child, right? Isn't that right! "
"No, no, no... No..." Mrs. Gu retreated carefully, but there was a wall behind her and there was really no way to go.
When Xu Yixing saw her reaction, he knew that this was probably true.
Gu was one year old when she entered the mansion, which means that he remarried one year after his mother died. When she first came in, she was faced with two concubines who were about to give birth. How could a little girl understand all this? It must have been Nanny Gu who helped her take care of things.
It must have been Master Gu or the old lady who had told Mrs. Gu not to let the Gu family suffer any loss and not to let the concubines get too proud. This was also the beginning of the tragedy for Yi Yan and Yi Wen.
But if I had to blame someone, shouldn't I blame my own father? He actually let the mistress walk in and face a posthumous child and two newborns. Who could bear this?
"You, you are so, cruel!" Xu Yixing had ten thousand words to curse Mrs. Gu in his mind, but the only word left in his mouth was cruel. How could a person be so bad?
"Listen, not only you, but also your son and your daughter, I will not let them have an easy time!" After saying this, Xu Yixing walked out of the prison door, forcibly ignoring the shouting and cursing behind him.
As soon as I turned the corner, I bumped into someone's arms.
Lu Anyuan? Why is he here? He's not eavesdropping...
Lu Anyuan let out an awkward smile. He had been worried and had been following from a distance, only to hear those old stories. He was just thinking about how to explain when Xu Yixing suddenly slumped over, collapsing on top of him.
"Ada, go call the imperial physician!"
It felt like there were needles pricking his head. Xu Yixing tried to hold his head in pain, but his hands were weak and he could only lift his fingers in vain.
Lu Anyuan stood beside the bed and watched the imperial physician perform acupuncture.
The imperial physician said that it was because of the emotional ups and downs that hurt the heart meridians and caused fainting. But Lu Anyuan didn't understand. These were all tragic stories of Yi Yan. How could Yi Xing be so sad?
