After hearing this, Xinyi Shewu seemed to be struck by Gu Qinlan's words. She frowned involuntarily, turned her head away awkwardly, and said stubbornly:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Gu Qinlan did not explain further.
She had long noticed Xin Yishewu's special feelings for these three people. If he had opposed them leaving Siming Tower from the beginning, with his status as the young tower master, how could these people easily appear in Prince Duan's Mansion?
It was precisely because of Xinyi Shewu's secret promotion that Jiahong and the others were able to feel so free in front of him.
Judging from the way they get along, they are more like close friends than superiors and subordinates.
After everyone had signed, Xin Yishewu waved at Jia Hong and the others in annoyance and loudly rebuked them:
"Get out of here, I'm getting upset just looking at you! Get out!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately broke into smiles and dispersed happily, like amused children, without a trace of anger at all.
After everyone left, Xin Yishewu slowly stood up, raised the corner of his mouth slightly towards Gu Qinlan, and still couldn't help but explain a few words:
"I just arrived at the Siming Tower branch. They generously helped me and saved my life many times... Once the poison in my body is removed, I will set off and leave."
"They are all people with unfortunate fates. If they were not forced by circumstances, they would not have joined the Siming Tower. Therefore, no matter what, I beg you to take good care of them."
Gu Qinlan couldn't help but feel a little moved when she saw Xin Yishewu's rare serious expression.
Although Xinyi Shewu came from a prominent family and seemed to be unruly, he was actually kind-hearted and grateful, which was truly rare.
So, Gu Qinlan nodded gently to Xin Yishewu and said sincerely:
"As long as they can keep those children safe, I will never let them down."
Xinyi Shewu heard Gu Qinlan always mention those children and couldn't help but sneer:
"Humph, you ladies from aristocratic families are really unique. You help others raise their children so wholeheartedly. Don't you feel uncomfortable in your heart?"
Gu Qinlan was stunned, then responded seriously:
"Although they are not my own flesh and blood, in my heart, they are closer than my own. As long as they call me mother, I will think deeply about them."
Being in this position, one should fulfill his responsibilities.
Besides, no matter what kind of relationship it is, only by giving to each other can you get equal returns.
In order to have a comfortable and smooth life in the future, she naturally has to teach those children carefully.
She can only feel truly at ease when her children are able to take care of themselves.
Gu Qinlan was ill for two days and finally recovered.
At this time, there was new progress in the matter she sent people to investigate.
Gu Qinlan was sitting in the medicinal field in the backyard, holding a small medicinal hoe in her hand, carefully tending to the medicinal herbs that she had just planted a few days ago.
At this time, Wocan came hurriedly and said anxiously: "Miss, I have a clue."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qinlan slowly stood up, handed the medicine hoe to Xiang Zhu, took the handkerchief she handed over, gently wiped his hands, and walked out of the medicine field.
"Go ahead."
Without hesitation, Wocan said solemnly:
"It has just been found out that the doctors who treated my wife back then have all died mysteriously. One was killed by bandits, and the other accidentally fell into the water and died. Moreover, the medical records from that year have been destroyed and cannot be verified. However..."
"But what?"
"We found records that the Yao family had purchased Acacia Heartbreak Powder outside the territory. The time coincides with each other, which is enough to prove that Zhao Chunlan did have the opportunity to poison!"
At this point, Eye Bag paused for a moment, and then continued, "But we also discovered that the Madam had a personal maid by her side back then. The young lady may still remember her. Her name was Ruoying."
If shadow?
Gu Qinlan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded:
"Ruoying, I remember she was selling herself to bury her father. My mother felt sorry for her and bought her. She was smart and clever, and was promoted to the head maid in just a few years."
"But she seems to have redeemed herself and left shortly after her mother died. What's wrong with her?"
Wocan nodded, handed Gu Qinlan a letter, and explained:
"After being redeemed, Ruoying returned directly to her hometown, purchased a large amount of property, and even opened a store, where her business flourished."
"But given her status back then, the monthly salary was not enough for her to redeem herself and purchase such a huge family business in the village."
"So, I have sent someone to bring her here. As long as we see her true appearance, perhaps the mystery will be revealed."
When Gu Qinlan heard this, a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
If what Ruoying did was true, then wouldn't the mother and Ruoying be like the fable of the farmer and the venomous snake? One side showed kindness, while the other side was secretly murderous.
She would rather believe that Ruoying's success was just a coincidence than to see her mother's kindness become the cause of her death.
Taking a deep breath, Gu Qinlan tried to calm herself down, then slowly asked, "How long will it take?"
"About five days."
Gu Qinlan heard this and nodded slightly, then her tone turned cold and she said decisively:
"Then wait five days. However, since the Yao family has confirmed their involvement, I will not be lenient. Tell Jiang Jinhu that I don't want to see the Yao family's assets appear in the capital again."
"Yes, sir!" Wocan immediately took the order and left.
In a short period of time, Jiang Jinhu has built Taibai Tower into one of the most profitable companies in the capital!
These days, Gu Qinlan has also entrusted the management of other shops to Jiang Jinhu.
Although Jiang Jinhu is young, his business talent cannot be underestimated!
As soon as he took over those shops, he made bold reforms, making those shops quickly become leaders in their respective industries.
Not only that, Jiang Jinhu recently wrote to inform that he has opened branches of Taibailou in other places.
Such talent often amazed Gu Qinlan.
If she had not been reborn early and taken it under her control in time, such a huge fortune would have probably fallen into the hands of others long ago.
At this moment, someone suddenly came running to report:
"Princess, the twelfth prince has arrived! He is in the Li Lun Courtyard right now, and Mr. Jiang is furious!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qinlan raised her eyebrows slightly and had already imagined what Jiang Boyi looked like at the moment.
Xiang Zhu at the side coughed lightly and whispered to Gu Qinlan:
"Miss, you didn't seem to tell my cousin in advance. I'm afraid this matter can't be solved with just a jar of peach wine, right?"
After a pause, Xiang Zhu raised his hands pitifully, turned them over a few times, and sighed:
"Even if I use all my skills and make 108 delicacies, I'm afraid I won't be able to calm my cousin's anger!"
Jiang Boyi has always wanted to keep his distance from people in the palace, but now Gu Qinlan and Zheng Dinglian have brought the twelfth prince to him. How can he not be angry?
Gu Qinlan smiled upon hearing this, looked at Xiang Zhu reassuringly, and said:
"No problem, change my clothes for me and I'll go take a look."
Gu Qinlan was not only concerned about Jiang Boyi, she also wanted to observe how the twelfth prince would react in the face of Jiang Boyi's strong resistance.
Should I argue with reason or resist angrily?
At this moment, the atmosphere in Li Lun Academy was extremely tense.
Zheng Fenghui and others sat upright, holding their breath and concentrating, not daring to make any sound.
