Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

Gu's tears rolled down. She couldn't stand being ignored like this. She even hoped that the master would come out and slap her a few times instead of just turning a blind eye.

Father Xu entered the study, his face gloomy, but more of a fear. "Xu Qian, where is the confession you mentioned?"

"The transcript has been spread everywhere, please take a look." Xu Qian stepped forward, took out a piece of letter paper from his sleeve and handed it over.

Who could have thought that everything was fine before the court session today, but as soon as they left the palace gate, there was an uproar. The ministers from various departments imitated the shrews in the market and discussed something loudly in front of the door.

The general didn't like to get involved with that group of literati, so he rode away, and could only find out what happened by himself. Now when he returned to the mansion and saw his wife kneeling at the door of the study, Xu Qian was extremely upset. It had only been quiet for a few days, and something happened again in the mansion!

Father Xu snatched it and flipped through it quickly, and immediately saw the Xu family's name listed on it. But what surprised Xu Qian was that the general's anger seemed to only burn for a moment, and then relaxed.

But before Xu Qian could figure out the meaning of the general's expression, he suddenly became furious and slapped the table: "Is everything written here true?"

"I don't know. This is all spread by the civil officials. I heard that Grandma He suddenly got better yesterday and insisted that her family report it to the police. But she's dead now, so there's no evidence."

Xu Qian felt very strange. Granny He had been famous in Beijing for a long time. How could she be so ignorant of taboos as to spread these things? Could it be that she was really dying and her mind was confused?

"According to what's written here, the deaths of Mrs. Liu and Mrs. He were all caused by Mrs. Gu, the old hag!" Old Man Xu spat fiercely on the ground, recalling what his second daughter had said on the boat last time, with a look of displeasure on his face.

"General, I heard that Jingzhao Prefecture is still investigating this matter. How about we wait for the result from Lord Shen?"

Old Man Xu shook his head and thought for a while with his eyes closed: "There will be no result. Look at the crimes listed here. The time span is as long as 20 to 30 years. There are dozens of people involved, and many of them are already dead. What's more, these are all some shameful and secretive methods in the backyard. Even if Shen Yue wants to investigate, there will be great resistance."

Xu Qian felt relieved. Yes, if this was really investigated, would they have to go to each mansion to ask questions? Even if Lord Shen was a fool, he would probably be melted by the anger of his colleagues this time.

"General, then, do you think this matter has anything to do with my wife?"

"Humph, Mrs. Gu was brought from her mother's home. Do you think it has anything to do with her? Besides, if it has nothing to do with her, why did she apologize in front of my study? Oh! What a fool! She doesn't even know what sin I committed to marry such a vicious and stupid woman!"

Xu Qian understood that the stupidity the general was talking about was the lady's behavior of taking off her hairpin and accepting the punishment.

It's obviously just a rumor, and the government hasn't made any results yet, yet you just sit there and take responsibility for your crime. Even if the general wants to save you, he can't!

Xu Qian quickly responded: "General, do you think the eldest son and the second daughter already know about this?"

This is the most headache for Old Man Xu right now. Although he is not on the list, Mrs. Gu is on it. Her master is even more stupid. If Yi Wen and Yi Yan know about it, will there be peace in this family?

Before he could start to complain, his eldest son's voice came from outside the study door: "Tell me, tell me if you did it! Dad, Dad! Your son wants to see you, Dad!"

Old Man Xu was really overwhelmed, and walked out the door reluctantly.

As soon as he went out, he saw that his usually carefree son was now crying and snotting, grabbing Gu's collar with one hand, and questioning something with a red face and thick neck.

"Xu Yiwen! Don't be rude!" Old Man Xu stopped his reckless behavior in time.

When Yiwen heard this, he knelt down and crawled forward a few steps, holding a few pieces of paper that could no longer be seen in their shapes in his hands: "Dad, Dad! Have you seen this, have you seen it? She, it's all her!" Xu Yiwen pointed at Gu fiercely, his eyes were bloodshot and swollen, and his face was full of resentment.

"What if you have seen it? What if you haven't seen it? Wen'er, you are a junior, don't break the rules!"

"Rules? Dad, do you know what happened?"

The old man raised his hand to interrupt Yi Wen's questioning and said in a deep voice: "I have seen this thing, it is completely nonsense. I think that Granny He went crazy before her death, so she made this kind of garbage and brought chaos to the capital.

Wen'er, you are an adult, you have to learn to think for yourself, instead of believing everything you see, do you understand? Go and apologize to your mother. "

Xu Yiwen seemed to be a little stuck. The hand holding the paper shook mechanically a few times, and he seemed a little at a loss.

Old Man Xu was still confident in disciplining his son. He wasn't very smart, so he could just fool around a few times and it would be fine.

"No! If this is true, why would that bitch kneel down at Dad's door and beg for mercy today? It's obviously her who did it!"

This time even Xu Qian closed his eyes helplessly. There was really no smart person in this family.

After hearing this, Gu suddenly realized her mistake. She had just wanted to show weakness in front of the master, but she didn't think that kneeling like this would clearly mean admitting that she was involved in this matter. Oh no!

But now that things have come to this, Gu can only bite the bullet:

"Master, Master! I'm kneeling here today because I heard about Mrs. Gu. I was terrified, thinking that she had caused a lot of trouble to our family in the past. I didn't expect that she would be brought up and used against me even after she died. I'm here to apologize for my poor discipline!"

When Old Man Xu heard this pale defense, he finally felt a little satisfied, but more helpless. What were you doing earlier? You should stay in your room. When I ask you something later, just say you don't know, isn't that enough?

"Master, I saw Granny He's confession this morning, and I was so frightened that I lost my composure. Please forgive me! But I also want to say that Granny Gu would never do such a thing!

Master, Wen'er, you all know very well how Aunt He died. She was a heroic woman, and I admire her from the bottom of my heart. We all know that she committed suicide, so why are you blaming it on Nanny Gu?

Also, there is Liu. It was obvious that Liu was in poor health and passed away early. I am still very sad about it. How can this be blamed on Nanny Gu?

In my opinion, the name of the division is that Granny He deliberately wants to create some big troubles in Beijing, or she is old and confused, and she has been ill for a long time, so she wrote these nonsense! Please understand! "
