After the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion was reborn, she divorced and married the prince!
Chapter 23 Reaping the consequences
Gu Qingshan frowned and stared at Su Yi sternly, "You asked Su Bei to dive into the water and grab Jingyou?"
Su Yi's face froze, "I...I am also planning for Huai'er."
Gu Qingshan snorted angrily.
Su Yi looked at his face and said sourly, "Cousin, you won't be reluctant to let him die, right? Song Mingli was also the most beautiful woman in Kyoto. Did your cousin soften his heart after seeing her?"
Gu Qing Shan was so angry that he slammed the table, "What are you thinking? Su Bei and the wet nurse have been arrested by the government!"
"If the Jingzhao Prefecture finds out something during the interrogation, will I still have any shame? Will the Marquisate still have any face? If Huai'er is identified as a concubine's son, his future will be ruined by you!"
Su Yi looked at him in shock and staggered back a step.
"How could this happen? How could he be captured by the government? What happened to the child? Is he dead?"
Gu Qingshan sneered, "If he died, things would be much easier!"
"But not only did he not die, but there were scratches on his ankles, proving that this was a murder! This confirms the guilt of Su Bei and the nanny!"
Su Yi took a breath, "How...how could this happen?"
“Are you scared now? Why didn’t you consult with me before you ordered Su Bei to do something?” Gu Qingshan said angrily, “I didn’t hide anything from you, but you acted on your own!”
"If only the wet nurse was arrested, we can get away with it cleanly! We can just say that the Song mother and son often abused the wet nurse, and the wet nurse held a grudge and deliberately took revenge!"
"Whether the child dies or not, Song Mingli's reputation will be ruined! But you made the decision on your own and created unnecessary trouble!"
Su Yi saw Gu Qingshan’s veins popping out and he roared at her.
She turned pale and started to cry.
"We used to be together as a family, spending every day together. But since I returned to Beijing, Huai'er and Jiajia are not with me. I miss them every day."
"My husband is staying in the Marquis' Mansion for longer and longer periods of time... I'm so panicked! I'm afraid you all don't want me anymore..."
Su Yi cried more and more sadly.
Gu Qingshan's heart softened when he saw his beloved woman crying.
He stood up and hugged Su Yi in his arms, "Okay, okay, don't cry, I spoke too harshly."
"I acted on my own and brought trouble to my husband!" Su Yi cried and fell into his arms.
With Wen Xiangyu soft in his arms, how could Gu Qingshan be angry with her?
But for some reason... he suddenly remembered Song Mingli's noble and cold face.
“I have to go to the prison and settle this matter,” Gu Qingshan sighed, “but Su Bei can’t be saved.”
Su Yi's soft body stiffened slightly, and then nodded, "I won't act on my own anymore."
Gu Qingshan patted her head lovingly, "You don't have to blame yourself too much, I was just angry just now.
"Based on this incident alone, Song Mingli wants to discredit the Marquisate... She is still too naive! She is just a woman in the inner house. Even if she reports to the police, what can she do? You don't have to be afraid."
Su Yi nodded obediently in his arms, but her eyes were as poisonous as poison.
Su Bei was her domestic slave, loyal to her, and a sharp weapon in her hand.
Unexpectedly, before she even met Song Mingli, Song Mingli had destroyed her weapon!
Su Yi gritted her teeth secretly, her eyes were fierce... Song! Ming! Li! You wait for me!
Gu Qingshan bribed the jailer, sneaked into the prison, and met with Li and Su Bei in private.
As for Su Bei, it didn't take much effort. Su Bei nodded in agreement before he finished speaking.
Li was afraid of death and threatened him.
For his own face, for the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion...what does it matter if two servants die?
After coming out of the prison, Gu Qingshan felt depressed.
It was late at night, and he didn't want to go back home, nor did he want to go back to his and Su Yi's home.
He was outside getting drunk in a tavern.
As soon as I finished a glass of wine, I heard mocking laughter from the private room next door.
I also heard them mention "Changning Marquis Mansion" and "Gu Shizi". People are always particularly sensitive to information related to themselves.
Gu Qingshan immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"A nurse dared to murder the young master. If she hadn't been instructed by someone, would she dare to do this even if she had ten times the courage?"
"But the marquis' wife always defends the wet nurse and attacks her daughter-in-law and grandson... How can she not treat her daughter-in-law and grandson as human beings?"
"It's a pity that Song Mingli was the most beautiful woman in Kyoto back then, but she ended up marrying into a family like this... Tsk tsk, what a pity!"
"That Prince Gu is unreliable!"
"Forget it, forget it. Be careful not to let anyone hear us!"
"What did you hear? I dared to say it even in front of him! I thought Changning Marquis Mansion was the prosperous mansion in the past? Pah! It's just an empty shell!"
"If Song Mingli had not married into the Marquis's Mansion, and the Emperor had shown sympathy to them because of General Song, it would be unclear whether his son could inherit the title of Marquis!"
……
Gu Qingshan had already stood up angrily!
He wanted to go next door and ask, is it true that a man would gossip behind others' backs?
He wanted to scold them to their faces and call them "gossips"!
But when he heard the following words, his whole body stiffened, and the anger in his heart was extinguished like a basin of cold water poured over his head.
What if he questioned it? He would only be ridiculed and laughed at.
He originally wanted to drown his sorrows in alcohol, but after hearing such gossip, the wine felt like a knife cutting his throat.
Gu Qingshan didn't want to run into those people. He stood up and left the tavern...
I wonder if this is an illusion?
He saw that the people in the tavern seemed to be looking at him, and when he walked by, they pointed at his back and talked about him.
"Did you see it? That's the Marquis of Changning."
"Is he the fool who favors his concubine and kills his wife and son?"
"The upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked, the family tradition of the Changning Marquis Mansion is not right..."
Gu Qingshan turned his head abruptly, staring back with bloodshot eyes.
However, everyone had mocking and contemptuous smiles on their faces, and no one was intimidated by him.
Gu Qingshan’s face was burning, and he fled from the tavern.
Even when he was walking on the street, he felt like he was being pointed at and talked about.
He was so ashamed and angry that he hid back in his and Su Yi's home.
He comforted himself, "After tonight, after tonight everything will be over!"
That night, the jailer discovered that the wet nurse Li and the man in black, Su Bei, had committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment.
Gu Qingshan hid in the land of gentleness, unwilling to face the rumors outside... He firmly believed that as long as he didn't show up, the rumors would soon pass.
Kyoto people are not very persistent. When they encounter new excitement, they will quickly forget the old things.
However, after a few days, his mother's people came to look for him.
"My Lord, my wife is ill, please go back!"
His mother fell ill, and Gu Qingshan could no longer hide, so he had to bite the bullet and go back to the Gu Mansion.
After returning to the mansion, Gu Qingshan discovered that even the servants looked at him in a strange way… In the past, they looked at him with awe and respect for their master.
Although I still feel fear now, I have no respect at all, and even a little contempt.
In the Qichi courtyard.
Song Mingli is reading a letter.
Zi Su came to her side and whispered, "The message from the door is that the prince is back and has gone to the lady's courtyard."
"Sun got sick from anger, and he came back to visit her." Song Mingli smiled, his eyes falling on the letter, "Tong Wanyu is such a loyal girl, she said she would help me, and she really helped me a lot!"
