"This thing is very likely related to Sarhan." Gu Yue said.

"Indeed, with so many spices and on the incoming goods truck, it's hard not to be suspicious." Gu Xu pulled up the squatting Gu Yue and took him into the house. The things outside were left to the secret guards to clean up, and the box containing the poppy shells was sealed and temporarily left in this small courtyard.

"Although Sarhan is dead, what about the people behind him?" Gu Yue originally thought that he would live a peaceful life, but unexpected things kept popping up one after another.

"Isn't Qin Zhaoyue investigating?" Gu Xu said sarcastically.

"I think he is very active in forming cliques and pursuing personal gains, and he doesn't do any real work at all!" Gu Yue scolded, "It takes so long to check the background of a Hu merchant."

Gu Xucai didn't speak for Qin Zhaoyue, he nodded in agreement.

Then something occurred to him, and he asked, "What will happen if people eat these shells in the pot?"

"I haven't heard of any problems like taking Wujin Paste directly, but it is definitely not good. If you don't take it for a while, you will miss it, like a thorn in your back, and you have to take it. Maybe this is how Lao Yue makes money." Gu Yue was scared. Fortunately, he and Gu Xu were not interested in the pot!

"Then maybe we can take it step by step. What do you think?" Gu Xu looked at him for his opinion.

"...That's fine. We don't have the ability to catch the person behind this in one fell swoop. If we catch this person, it would be terrible if he becomes desperate and poisons us." Gu Yue leaned over and lay bonelessly on the kang bed.

Still comfortable to lie down on.

What is Gu Xu thinking about?

Gu Yue suddenly said, "Well, since we've told Miss Yu about this, let her do it. If she becomes the boss, it will be easy for her to manage Lao Yue's affairs. And I think they don't have the ability to let all the branches of Lao Yue use this thing... The one in Liuli Town is not doing well."

"You trust her very much?" Gu Xu raised an eyebrow.

Gu Yue found this expression quite charming and waved at him.

Gu Xu came over.

Gu Yue touched his eyebrows: "Don't you trust her too? And she saw at a glance that it was you and not me who was in the lead, and she saw through your acting..."

"I didn't act seriously at all." Gu Xu looked at him through his fingers.

"Didn't that fool King Yin believe it?" Gu Yue laughed.

Yu Weishuang is a rare male-centered female protagonist with brains, and is more than capable of defeating the male-centered villain King Yin.

"He is so obsessed with power that he has no time to distinguish between truth and falsehood." Gu Xu held his hand and smoothed his brows.

But he didn't let go.

……

Yu's.

Yu Weishuang's men quickly took over Madam Yuan's property, and the Yu family was in an uproar over the appointment of a new housekeeper.

The original steward's hand was sent to Yu's house in the box of the lady's headgear. The woman was frightened and fell seriously ill. After taking a few doses of medicine and getting better, the news came that the steward of Yu's house was killed by bandits, and the bodies of all the servants who accompanied him were neatly sent back to the house.

In a rage, Madam Yu reported to Lord Yu that the so-called banditry was Yu Weishuang's plan to take back her property. Lord Yu, who had always obeyed her in everything, was furious and ordered Madam Yu not to get involved in other affairs.

This is unusual.

First, the Imperial Censor Xue Duan took the opportunity to launch an attack and removed several officials from important positions in Luoyang City's defense. Then, several officials jointly submitted a petition to remove the governor of Luozhou. The relationship on the surface was complicated, and Yu was only a sixth-rank official, so how could he dare to get involved?

Even if Yu Weishuang was the one who did it, even if she killed all the servants one by one, it didn't matter. This matter had already developed into a factional dispute, and it was not something the harem could interfere with.

Regarding the new housekeeper, Madam Xiao Yu wanted to recommend her confidant, but no one dared to agree and kept making excuses.

There is no other reason, the death of the previous manager was too tragic.

No one dares to get into trouble at this critical moment.

Here, Yu Weishuang ignored Madam Yu for three days and finally met her.

Before Yu Weishuang sat down, the woman in the main seat started to attack him: "Yu Weishuang! Did you do what the manager did? And you threatened my people, didn't you?"

Yu Weishuang ignored her shouting and sat down leisurely. A maid immediately brought tea to her. Madam Yu glared at the maid, but she was just terrified and retreated as if running away.

"Madam is a noble lady, why are you shouting and behaving so inappropriately?" Yu Weishuang said, "You don't have to question me. You know it well. What else can you do?"

Mrs. Xiao Yu knew very well that this statement meant she agreed to everything.

She was so angry that her face was twisted, but she still laughed out loud: "I thought you would be ruined in the Taoist temple after I sent you there, but I didn't expect you to be so lucky and walk out! Do you think everything will be fine if you stick with the princess? You have some courage to come back."

Yu Weishuang smiled without saying anything and just watched her go crazy.

"Stop talking?" Madam Xiao Yu raised her chin proudly, and her tone suddenly became as gentle as a loving mother, "Xiao Shuang, you are almost coming of age, and it's time to decide on your marriage."

Yu Weishuang looked disdainful for a moment.

That was it, the only thing she could control, but was she afraid?

Originally, she had thought of some ways to deal with this trick, but the letter sent by Gu Xu relieved her anxiety, as she had the biggest handle on the Yu family.

Yu Weishuang said, "I heard that the manager was killed and all the goods on the car were stolen. Among them was a spice that was the secret recipe that Lao Yue's customers kept coming for."

Mrs. Xiao Yu’s expression froze for a moment.

Yu Weishuang chuckled when she saw this: "Madam, what kind of secret recipe is this? It's so magical? I heard that the emperor ordered a strict investigation of a certain poisonous weed. No one would put this thing in their diet, right?"

"Nonsense!" cried Mrs. Xiao Yu. "That's your mother's property—you—"

"So you knew that it was my mother's thing, why did you keep fighting for it? Are you some illegitimate daughter, not a second wife?" Yu Weishuang said, "As for where that thing came from, everyone in Luoyang knows the prince's ability. It depends on whether Madam has such great ability to make black into white."

"You - you want to destroy the Yu family?! If you destroy the Yu family, what good will you do? Who would marry a powerless and sinful woman like you?!" Mrs. Yu shouted.

"Why should I waver between being a princess of the current dynasty and a sixth-rank official?" Yu Weishuang asked curiously, "As for whether the Yu family can be destroyed, it depends on the decision of my father."

Mrs. Xiao Yu felt a chill running up her spine.

Yu Weishuang, she actually found out about the fruit!

If I had known this, I should have...

No. What else does she know?

Should I tell that person about the revelation...

Yes, just tell that person to kill this little bitch, and no one will know anything about it!
