Reborn in ancient times: I will make my family rich

"What did Xuan'er do wrong to make you, as a mother, punish him like this? And Doctor Xu, even if you want to punish Xuan'er, it's not your turn!"

Madam Gu walked up to the two of them, looked at them coldly and spoke.

It was as if Mrs. Xu didn't hear what Madam Gu asked. There was no expression on her face and she didn't say a word.

On the other hand, Xu Cong kept kowtowing and begging for mercy to Madam Gu, still trying to get away with it.

"Madam, these are all things that Madam Xu asked me to do. It has nothing to do with me."

Hearing this, Xu suddenly looked up at Xu Cong, and stood there motionless, as if she was under a spell, unable to believe that these words came from his mouth.

"Haha, it's all fake, fake," Xu stood there in a daze for a long time, then looked at Xu Cong and suddenly laughed crazily.

Old Madam Gu looked between the two of them with a sharp gaze, and always felt that their relationship was a little unusual.

No matter how Madam Gu asked, Xu just didn't say a word. She looked dazed, as if she had lost her soul.

Seeing this, Madam Gu could only have someone take care of the two men and called over the two maids beside Xu.

"When did Xu and Xu Cong start? Tell me the truth and I can give you a lighter sentence."

Madam Gu did not ask the two people directly, but tried to trick them into talking about the important issues.

"Madam, please spare me. When we two arrived, you..." Before Tao'er could finish her words, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her waist. A dagger was inserted into her waist. Tao'er looked at Xing'er in disbelief.

"My Madam has been so kind to me, I will never allow anyone to betray her." Xing'er spoke sternly, then pulled out the dagger and stabbed it into her own heart, killing her with one blow.

Xing'er's move caught everyone off guard and was so swift that no one had a chance to stop her.

"Drag this person out and deal with him!"

The old lady lowered her eyes. Having lived for most of her life, she had seen a lot of intrigues, but she was not frightened by it. Instead, she was very calm.

"Let's wait until Xuan'er wakes up before we talk about anything. Zhou'er, go to the general's mansion and get some people over, just in case." Old Madam Gu said to Gu Yanzhou with a serious look.

She already had a guess in her mind. It was probably because Xuan discovered the affair between Xu and the other woman that he was locked up. Thinking of the child Gu Huixuan, Old Madam Gu couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Okay, I'll let Rong Xin do it right away," Gu Yanzhou agreed. He didn't want to interfere too much in the affairs of Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, but he would fully cooperate with his grandmother's request.

Gu Yanzhou directly asked Rong Xin to transfer half of the servants in the general's mansion over.

The servants in the General's Mansion all have some basic skills in martial arts, and half of them are enough to control the people in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

Old Madam Gu locked up Xu and Xu Cong in a side room next to Xu's courtyard.

When there were only two people left in the room, Xu looked at Xu Cong and spoke: "It is only today that I realize that you have not been sincere to me for so many years. I was really blind. The two of us have come to this point. I hope you can keep your mouth shut and don't involve other people."

There was an obvious warning in Xu's last words.

"If you had listened to me and dealt with that brat earlier, would these things have happened?" Xu Cong said angrily.

Xu Cong spoke with contempt, calling her a stupid woman with long hair, little knowledge and no brains.

If he hadn't given her advice, would she have been able to achieve the position of Marquis's wife?

Xu no longer looked at Xu Cong and closed her eyes. Every time she heard Xu Cong's unbearable scolding, her heart ached.

This is the person she has liked for more than 20 years!

There was a hint of self-mockery on Xu's face, and his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, without any will to survive.

Gu Huixuan did not wake up slowly until the evening. When he opened his eyes, he saw Old Madam Gu, Jiang Nan, Gu Yanzhou and others guarding his bedside.

"Grandma, am I dreaming?" Gu Huixuan asked in a hoarse voice, somewhat excitedly when he saw Old Madam Gu.

"You are not dreaming, child, you have suffered, and your grandmother is here."

When Mrs. Gu saw Gu Huixuan waking up, she caressed his sallow and thin face with heartache, and she couldn't stop crying out of heartache.

"Your eldest brother and I are here too. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Jiang Nan was afraid that the old lady would be too excited, so he quickly stepped forward to change the subject.

"I'm just a little hungry, but I don't feel uncomfortable otherwise."

Jiang Nan didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Gu Huixuan was different from before.

"Madame Li, quickly bring the porridge to Xuan'er."

When the porridge was served, Old Madam Gu personally fed Gu Huixuan the bowl of porridge mouthful by mouthful.

Seeing Gu Huixuan like this, her heart felt as if it was being grabbed by someone and she felt very uncomfortable. Why should two such good children always suffer such injustice?

"Xuan'er, why did your mother punish you like this?"

After feeding the porridge, Old Madam Gu looked at Gu Huixuan and asked cautiously.

I was afraid that it would irritate him as I thought.

"She was having an affair with Xu Cong, and I saw it, so they had me locked up, fearing that I would reveal the truth. In the end, they wanted to silence me."

Gu Huixuan looked calm, as if it was just a trivial matter.

Everyone in the room was shocked when they heard this.

"Grandma, you decide how to deal with this matter. I have no objection to any outcome. Let's not talk about father's side for now."

Gu Huixuan no longer had the cheerful look he used to have. He now looked much calmer and more composed.

"Okay, then you have a good rest, and grandma will take care of this matter."

"Grandma, I want to go back to my own yard," Gu Huixuan said as he stood up.

Here he would think of Xu and Xu Cong entangled together, which made him feel sick.

"Okay, don't move, I'll have someone help you over."

Old Madam Gu immediately understood and had Gu Huixuan sent back to her own courtyard.

After everyone left, Madam Gu looked at Gu Yanzhou and said, "Xuan'er has been completely heartbroken by Xu this time. Xu has violated the seven grounds for divorce. She is promiscuous and unfaithful. I want to give her a divorce letter and expel her from the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion."

"As for Xu Cong, if he survives after being beaten with fifty sticks, he will be considered lucky."

"I don't want to get involved in this matter, but I have already collected evidence of Xu's murder of my mother. Grandmother, your last poisoning was also caused by Xu, and Xu Cong was also involved. After Grandmother expels Xu from the Gu family, I will hand over the evidence to the Dali Temple for processing."

Gu Yanzhou had just finished collecting evidence recently, and before he could take any action, this unexpected incident happened.

"Well, even if this didn't happen, since you already have the evidence, grandma won't stop you."

She knew that it was not easy to collect evidence, and that Xu deserved the consequences of his evil deeds.
