Chapter 281 Cui wants Song Rui to marry the princess
In the room, Wen Can changed Song Mingen's clothes like an old nanny, "Do you know why you sleep so late?"
Song Mingen was also puzzled. No matter how tired he was, he would never sleep in.
Moreover, he had been sleeping since he came back from the Gu residence and had only just woken up now.
But I slept very well and my whole body felt more relaxed than ever before.
"Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now."
"You were poisoned by someone behind the scenes. If you hadn't taken Sister Yu's antidote pills beforehand, you would have died of natural causes within three months, and the cause would have remained undiagnosed."
Song Mingen was shocked for a moment. "Everyone at the Gu family ate the food yesterday. How could I be poisoned? What about you?"
"Sister Yu came to the mansion to check on me at daybreak. I'm not poisoned. I was tired after returning from Zhongyi Tower, and I didn't go to sleep right after returning home. It was you who fell asleep as soon as you got in the carriage."
Song Mingen narrowed his eyes as he looked at himself in the bronze mirror. "If the food wasn't eaten, then the dishes must have been tampered with. It seems that Third Gu is the most suspicious."
"Ming En, are you done cleaning up?"
Song Mingen turned and went outside.
Jiang Yunwan said, "Sister Yu wants you to eat as soon as you wake up. Eat more. You lost half a bowl of blood last night, so you need to eat well to make up for it."
The table was already full of food. Jiang Yunwan had another table brought in, and the two tables were put together to form a large table. Caiwei and others served the dishes one after another.
"Ming En, what are you still standing there for? Come sit down and have your meal."
Jiang Yunwan pulled Song Mingen to sit down, and casually asked Li Yuejiao and Wen Can to sit down, "You guys sit down and eat too, it's a good opportunity to have lunch together in advance."
Song Mingen was really hungry at this moment, so he sat down and started eating. He put down his chopsticks when he was 90% full.
"Wanwan, did Sister Yu say she didn't take the detoxification pills? What are my symptoms?"
"Sister Yu said this is a colorless, odorless poison. It will make people feel tired and exhausted. They can't even tell if it's poisoning. They can only diagnose it as insufficient Qi and blood, which leads to lack of energy. If you take Qi and blood supplements, your condition will get worse, and you'll die naturally in three months."
Song Mingen: "The other party's methods are very clever. They killed me without anyone noticing."
"Brother," Wen Can said, "Let's not inquire secretly. Just bring the token to your door in the next two days."
Li Yuejiao agreed, "Yes, recognize your relationship first and then deal with the bad guy. Otherwise, if he sees that he didn't succeed, he will attack again. He killed you the first time, and the next time he attacks, he will directly take your life."
Jiang Yunwan: "That's right, at least we are standing in the open. If the people behind the scenes want to take action again, we have to take some precautions."
Song Mingen shook his head slightly. "It's colorless and odorless, so it can't be detected. The other party won't make another move within three months. I'll just treat it as physical fatigue. I'll find all the evidence within three months and then come back to claim my kinship."
Li Yuejiao was anxious. She was impatient and wanted to be decisive in recognizing her relatives, so she poked Jiang Yunwan's arm.
"Ming En is not right. Go and claim your kinship first. After that, you can also look for evidence."
"Yes, big brother, take the token with you to see Gu Wanqing first, and let him recognize you as his son. Then you can deal with Gu Lao San. All the properties under his name originally belong to you, so take them back as soon as possible!"
Song Mingen: "Let's go and recognize Gu Wanqing now. He can recognize me, but how can he prove that Gu Laosan is a bastard? I must find out how I was replaced. I must have been replaced by one of Gu Wanqing's concubines. I have to find out all these things."
Li Yuejiao said, "She doesn't have to be Gu Wanqing's concubine. She could be his brother's concubine. It's not convenient for you brothers to visit the women in the Gu family's backyard, so you should first recognize the Gu family. Then you'll have a chance to see their faces at the family dinner. If anyone looks like Gu Lao San, you'll know who stole you back then."
Jiang Yunwan: "Jiaojiao is right, let Gu Wanqing recognize you first."
Song Mingen pondered for a moment: "If I go to the house to claim my kinship, what if Gu Lao San, no, he is still a suspect and is worried about exposing the truth and plotting to harm Gu Wanqing? The Gu family will be leaderless and in chaos. I still insist on gathering evidence before going to the house. The day I go to the house to claim my kinship will be the day when the person behind the scenes will face disaster!"
Wen Can stopped trying to persuade him after hearing what he said. "Then let's do as Big Brother says. I'll go to Gu's house alone tomorrow to discuss the details. I'll just say you're tired to confuse them."
"good."
Wen Can turned to Zhang Feng who was waiting beside him and asked, "Is Ah Chu back?"
"A message came back last night. There's nothing wrong with that couple. They're merchants in the south of the city selling bird's nests, ginseng, and tea. Ah Chu is currently watching the man's residence. If there's nothing unusual, he'll be back tomorrow."
"Brother, it seems that the startled horse was an accident, and the group of men in black should also be an accident."
Song Mingen: "It's too early to draw conclusions now. My intuition won't be wrong. Afeng, tell Achu to keep an eye on him for a few more days."
On the other side, Jiang Youya's study.
"How is it possible that Ming En is a member of the Gu family? Gu Wanqing doesn't look like Ming En?"
Feng Yingying pulled out a glass magnifying glass from the drawer under the desk. "Father, find a reason to take it to see Patriarch Gu again. Maybe you can see it more clearly."
Jiang Youya's face darkened. "I'm not so old that I can't see clearly. Gu Wanqing can't be Ming En's father. Their temperaments are very different."
"The temperament is definitely different. Patriarch Gu deals with money every day, and he exudes the aura of wealth. The reason I had this idea is because Wen Can just said that the third son of the Gu family reached out to take Ming En's mask yesterday and scared Ming En."
"No matter how reckless Gu Lao San is, he would never do such an outrageous thing. He must have discovered that Ming En looks like a member of the Gu family."
Jiang Youya: "Ming En is wearing a mask, how can he see Ming En's appearance?"
Feng Yingying: "The mask can't cover the ears, the forehead, the chin and the mouth."
Jiang Youya suddenly realized, "I understand. I'll find a reason to take a closer look at Gu Wanqing..."
"Mom, I've packed it."
Song Mingzhu looked at Wu Han, who had become much thinner, and felt a little distressed, but she quickly suppressed it.
I feel sorry for my son and he is going to be in big trouble!
In a lukewarm tone, he said, "When you meet your grandmother, uncle, and aunt later, don't talk nonsense."
"Yes." Wu Han didn't dare to act rashly, and he couldn't do that in the future. His mother was really disappointed in him.
When he regains his wealth and glory, he will be filial to his mother and make her happy, and his mother will definitely forgive him.
"Just say you've caught a cold, understand?"
Wu Han nodded repeatedly, "Then... then can we have four dishes and one soup from now on?"
Song Mingzhu glanced at him and said in a bad tone, "That's the treatment I give to my filial son. You will no longer enjoy this kind of treatment from now on! Anyway, you won't starve to death by eating vegetarian food!"
He is her own son, how could she treat him like this!
"What are you still standing there for? Come up here!" Song Mingzhu opened her mouth angrily.
"Oh, here it comes. Mother, please don't be angry. You are not in a good condition right now..."
Chen Chunhua's family of five gathered in the dining hall, waiting for Song Mingzhu and her son to arrive before the meal could begin.
"Brother Rui, your aunt is here. If you work hard and make her happy, she will definitely be interested in finding a good girl for you."
Song Rui nodded repeatedly, "Grandma, don't worry, I will behave well."
Cui: "Sis, you are not the wife of an official now. Can you still find a daughter of an official for Rui'er?"
Chen Chunhua said, "Azhu has been in the capital for so many years, so there must be some official wives she's friendly with. Our Rui brother is currently studying at the Imperial College, and he'll definitely pass the imperial examination in a year. He doesn't need a high-ranking family, a fifth or sixth-rank official lady will do. Besides, Rui brother is handsome, and he has a bright future. Who knows, maybe some high-ranking family will come and ask for his son-in-law."
Cui was anxious. This was all unreliable. "Mother, didn't we agree to have Sister tell Huanhuan that Princess Anyang could have a chance to meet Rui'er? If Rui'er marries the princess, he can truly gain a foothold in the capital, and he won't have to worry about others bullying us. Minglang, am I right?"
"Ah? Oh, yes." Song Minglang was obviously absent-minded.
Chen Chunhua: "That's right. Don't forget that Han Ge'er hasn't proposed marriage yet."
Cui: "Han'er's current status is awkward and he can't marry the princess. Only Rui'er has a chance. If Rui'er marries the princess and becomes an official in the court, Huanhuan can't marry Prince Xiao. With Rui'er as a backer, her future won't be too bad. At the same time, Han'er will also marry a girl from a good family."
Her son explained to her the interests involved and decided to do everything he could to let Rui Ge'er marry Princess Anyang.
Chen Chunhua glanced at Song Rui, who was dressed in blue and had picturesque features.
When Song Rui saw Chen Chunhua looking at him, he straightened his back again.
Chen Chunhua found that the elegant and scholarly air around him was even stronger than when he first came to the capital. He looked like a nobleman and was worthy of being a princess.
"Okay, I'll find a chance to talk about this when Zhuzhu comes, but it's hard to say whether Huanhuan can see her."
Cui said with certainty, "Yes, of course! Sister is Huanhuan's biological mother."
At this time, a woman came in quickly and said, "Madam, the eldest aunt and her mother are here."
