"Is there any evidence for what the plaintiff said?" Ruyi uttered every word, which was very clear in this courtroom, and formed a completely different contrast with the expression of that young man just now. "There is indeed a gambling shop under the name of Minnv, and there is also the 'Dark Treasure' game, but yesterday, or even these days, it was never used as a lottery."

"What's more, the rich and noble son said that the wishful gambling house is in Dongnei Erhutong. Just imagine, which son would go there?" She was very clear and directly denied the statement that she had taken out the dark treasure. Why take it out?A nobleman arrives.Since no noble son came, there was no question of the dark treasure being taken out.She believed that since Gu Nan was still Gu Huai's infatuation with her, she would never betray herself.

As for the evidence in the gambling house, hidden treasures and the like, since she planned to join the Duke of Wei's mansion, she has ordered her people to clean it up.

"This..." The governor of Jingzhao finally picked up the gavel, and for a moment he didn't know which side to lean to. He really couldn't figure out the meaning of the oracle. He wanted to find out and give Gu Yu a clean slate. It is still necessary to prove that Gu Yu is indeed fighting for the interests of the people, but looking at the current situation of this noble concubine... He slapped the gavel, "Plaintiff, where is your noble son?"

The young man scratched his head and pointed directly at Gu Huai, "It's him, I thought you had already invited witnesses!"

Gu Huai Wannian smiled, "It's me."

Governor of Jingzhao: ...

As one wishes:……

"Ahem!" Jing Zhaofu Yin never expected that this play could be sung like this, he has already seen it completely, it is definitely Gu Huai who is directing and acting himself!Seeing the imperial decree in Gu Huai's hand and his inscrutable smile, his tone immediately weakened a bit, "Gu...Master Tongzheng?"

"I didn't expect to be recognized by someone!" Gu Huai had a "what a coincidence" expression, "I'm just bored to go shopping, you don't need to care about me, go on, go on."

Jingzhao Fuyin wanted to continue to be a ghost. "Master Tongzheng, have you seen the 'dark treasure' mentioned by the plaintiff?"

"Well, it's a box? I remember I gambled a piece of jade pendant on this trip, and I accidentally won some money." Gu Huai thought seriously, "I left for a while, and when I came back, I didn't see the proprietress. So I put all the jade pendant and the silver I won into the 'Dark Treasure'."

He asked the young man, "It turned out that the odds were paid [-] times later! Didn't the official get rich by accident?" He said with a bit of embarrassment on his face, "Oh, Mr. Fuyin, you know I don’t have a lot of salary, so I’m really ashamed! That jade pendant was lent to me by the Chief Envoy!”

The jade pendant borrowed from the rich man's political envoy!How valuable that would be!

The corner of Jingzhao Mansion Yin's mouth twitched, the grandson of the Duke of the State, a fourth-rank official with a monthly salary of 24 shi, was crying poor in front of him... He thought about it, and looked at Ruyi with sympathy. After the testimonies came out, and the jade pendant owed more than sixty times the debt, Ruyi was going to lose her entire family!

Ruyi never expected that Gu Huai's face would change as quickly as the sky in June. Yesterday he was full of sweet words to himself, but after a day, he completely turned his face and refused to recognize anyone. Scumbag.

She gritted her teeth so badly, "My lord, before yesterday, the minnv had never seen you. Although the minnv comes from a humble background, she also understands the principle that a gentleman should not tell lies. I hope my lord will not speak nonsense. Dirty little girl's innocence!" She remembered that she and Gu Huai hadn't appeared at the same time yesterday, and the people in Duke Wei's mansion... probably wouldn't expose her either.

"I sent the proprietress to Gu's house yesterday! It seems that the proprietress is quite forgetful." Gu Huai was serious, "Monks don't lie. Of course, I am not the kind of person who can talk nonsense."

"Fifth brother." Gu Yu finally spoke. There is still a lot of money in the gambling house that has not been withdrawn. If Ruyi really loses the lawsuit and loses money this time, the money will not be recovered! "I heard that Ruyi Gambling Shop is in the East Erhutong, why did you go there for no reason?"

"Second brother, don't you know?" Gu Huai was surprised, and then lowered his voice, "The Anxiangfang is next to the Ruyi Gambling Workshop! I didn't pay attention on weekdays, the doors of the two workshops are opposite! I'll go to the Anxiangfang , I had no intention of strolling around, so I entered Ruyi Casino."

Where is Anxiangfang?Gu Yu is an orthodox scholar, so naturally he doesn't know this place, but seeing everyone on the field, including Yin Jingzhao's government, say "Oh—" with all kinds of expressions of sudden realization and understanding, he held his breath , Don't ask yourself one more question.

The governor of Jingzhao patted the gavel again, "The defendant Ruyi, now the witness is here, can you admit the plaintiff's debt?"

Although Ruyi has developed a good ability to dance with long sleeves in the three schools and nine streams, but at this time in the courtroom, she still couldn't help showing timidity, and secretly cast a questioning look at Gu Yu, but she didn't get the slightest response. Her heart sank immediately, and she realized that Gu Yu probably wanted to treat herself as an abandoned child.

It couldn't be easier for the son of the dignified Duke's mansion to quickly transfer the money in his gambling shop after he left the court.

It has to be said that at this time, ordinary boudoir women should be crying and crying, but Ruyi directly dragged her benevolent into the water, "Return to your lord, the daughter of the people confesses the debt! However, this debt should not be given by the people... bear!"

She tied up the long hair she had loosened earlier, and immediately tied it up in a bun, "The woman has become a married woman, so the debt should be repaid by the woman and her husband together!"

Gu Yu immediately turned her head to look at Ruyi, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Ruyi looked back at him affectionately, and called softly, "Husband... Yulang."

"What are you talking about, you naughty woman?" Gu Yu immediately jumped up and took a few steps back as if she had been electrocuted, "I don't know you!"

"Husband..." Ruyi wanted to cry, "My Yulang, why are you so cruel..."

Jingzhao Fuyin was confused by the plot where he didn't know where he was going. He took the gavel three times in a row, "Defendant Ruyi, do you have evidence to prove that Gu Shenshi is your husband? You It should be clear that the household registration can be checked here!"

"Yesterday, the women came out from Duke Wei's mansion..."

"It doesn't mean anything."

Gu Huai suddenly stretched his waist in a very disrespectful way, "What time is it? The mansion should deliver food to me. I'm really sorry, I'm growing up, so I can't be hungry. Mr. Fuyin, can I Allow people to go outside and bring in the maid who delivers the food?"

Governor of Jingzhao: ... Ha ha.

Shangfeng just wants to have a meal, and his official position is smaller than others, so naturally he can't even refute this small request.He waved his hand and asked the yamen servant to go outside to have a look, and sure enough, he really picked up a person dressed as a maid to come in.

Governor of Jingzhao: ...a very young age, this Gu family is going to have a picnic in their own court.

The maid was carrying a big lunch box, which didn't look like it was for one person.As soon as she came in, she saluted Lord Yin of Jingzhao Mansion gracefully, and then went to Gu Shiping, "Second Master, Second Madam, this is because the mansion is worried that you two are not used to using it outside, so I specially give it to you two. delivered."

Du Liyu recognized this as the maid in Shou'an Courtyard and nodded.

Then the maid walked towards Gu Yu again, "Second Young Master," she said, taking out a meal that was obviously rich and nutritious, but bypassed Gu Yu, and presented it directly in front of Ruyi, "Aunt Ruyi, what is this meal?" The portion was specially prepared by the old lady for you, you are weak and pregnant with a child, so you have to take good care of it. The old lady specially ordered that this is the only seedling of the second son, so don't take it lightly."

...the audience fell silent for a moment.

Gu Yu was the quickest to react, "Ruyi, are you pregnant?" He couldn't believe it at all, his whole body was immersed in astonishing joy, he naturally knew very well that if Ruyi was pregnant, it must be his child, so he squatted down and Ruyi hugged her in her arms, "Ruyi, my Ruyi! I have a child! I'm becoming a father!"

Governor of Jingzhao: ...It's time to take medicine.

After today's encounter, the biggest feeling of Jingzhaofu Yin is: everyone with the surname Gu is sick.

The case came to an end when Gu Yu repeated "I'm a father" countless times. Du Liyu's face was stiff beside him, but Gu Shiping's face was still gentle. Nodding his head, he accepted the debt very simply and neatly, and asked these creditors to go to Ruyi Casino to settle the debt, and the Duke of Wei's government will pay off the debt.

A group of people finally left in a hurry, and all the officials and officials of Jingzhao Mansion sent them to the gate of the mansion in person, waving small handkerchiefs and crying goodbye, "Goodbye!"

Never see you again!are you crazy!

Du Liyu was already disgusted by this pair of little mandarin ducks, even the joy of having a grandson soon couldn't cheer her up again.She didn't care about her husband and son and daughter-in-law, and was so angry that she hired a carriage and left.

Gu Shiping and Gu Huai fell behind the crowd.

"Nephew, thank you for taking care of Yu'er. I'm ashamed to say that he is old enough to want you to take care of his affairs." Gu Shiping looked sincere.

Gu Huai was modest, "Uncle is too polite, we are a family, and it is only natural for my nephew to take care of my brother." He met Gu Shiping's eyes, "I wonder if uncle is satisfied with my nephew's arrangement this time?"

"Naturally, Mr. Yin of Jingzhao Mansion is upright and upright, and has always judged cases fairly." Gu Shiping didn't have any dissatisfaction in his eyes, "If you go to the Ministry of Punishment - naturally Mr. Shangshu has always handled cases aboveboard."

"After entering the Ministry of Criminal Justice, it will not be so easy to get out." Gu Huai smiled lightly, "Uncle, let the second brother be more careful on weekdays, otherwise when he enters the Ministry of Criminal Justice, this little nephew will not be so convenient to take care of."

"really?"

"Seriously." Gu Huai's tone was firm, "Second brother is generous, and my nephew often hears about the feats of second brother's generous donations in the Department of General Affairs. If you think about it, you won't offend the villain. If you want to send him to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, what do you say, uncle? Bar?"

"Oh, if that's the case, I don't know what this villain is up to?" Gu Shiping's voice was calm, but when he listened carefully, it seemed to hide the turmoil.

"Planning for what? A gentleman aims at the community, while a villain seeks profit." Gu Huai stretched out his hand and carefully checked the lines on his palm, it was extremely complicated. "Second uncle, do you think so?"

Gu Shiping looked back at Gu Huai deeply, "Probably so." He moved a little faster and threw Gu Huai away.

old fox.Gu Huai sneered in his heart, but he turned his head and saw the sullen young man.He thought for a while and walked over, "Long-term employment, good wages, come?"

The young man rolled his eyes, thinking of Gu Huai's performance in the hall just now, wiped the mud on his face with both hands, bent down flatteringly with his mouth open, and hugged Gu Huai's thigh, "Master! You will be my uncle from now on!"

Gu Huai looked at the two big muddy handprints on his hem, and the corner of his mouth twitched, suspecting that he had made a wrong choice.

The old lady was awakened by Du Liyu's crying.

She is old and her energy is really weak, and she suffered from the atmosphere yesterday. At this time, she was sleeping in a daze, when she heard someone crying beside the bed, the voice was very familiar.She woke up drowsily, and after a long time of blurry recognition, she realized that it was her niece Du Liyu.

"What's the matter?" The old lady still dotes on her niece very much. Seeing Du Liyu crying so miserably, she struggled to get up, "What's the matter?"

"Auntie!" Du Liyu saw the old lady get up, and threw herself into her arms, "Auntie, Gu Huai is really deceiving people too much!"

"What immoral thing did that little bastard do again!" The old lady came to life when she heard the name of the troublemaker she hated the most, and roared angrily, "This guy is trying to disturb Gu's family. Uneasy, right!"

She suddenly thought of something, "Could it be my Yu'er..."

"Auntie, Yu'er is fine, and your great-grandson is in her aunt's stomach, very well!" Du Liyu said, holding back her sobs, "It's just, just, that Gu Huai colluded with the governor of Jingzhao and sentenced our Yu'er Lost the lawsuit, settled the matter, and have to pay back 5000 taels of silver!"

"5000 taels?" The old lady was in charge of the government's finances, she was considered a rich man, and she was shocked by the amount, "How could it be such a large amount?"

Du Liyu gave the general situation of the "Dark Treasure", and how many people came to liquidate it. Among them, Gu Huai's jade pendant is a good jade, worth 50 taels of silver, and it was turned over in Ruyi Casino. Doubling the money into Dark Treasure again, most of the 5000 taels of silver had to be returned to Gu Huai!Besides, according to Ruyi, most of the people who participated at that time did not come to settle the accounts!

If Du Liyu knew that those who participated in the liquidation were hired by Gu Huai, and the money they got would have to go into Gu Huai's pocket in the end, I don't know if he would die of anger.

She wept sobbingly, saying that she felt like the most miserable little Baihua in Dashang Dynasty, "Auntie——uh!" She hiccupped involuntarily.

The old lady was very distressed, "This... this is a prodigal thing! Huh, it's all from my own family, and Gu Huai's debt was written off by the old man!"

Mentioning this, Du Liyu cried even worse. "Auntie, Gu Huai borrowed that jade pendant from the Tongzheng Envoy. Your Excellency already knows about it, so we need to liquidate it together!"

"What... what should I do?" The old lady didn't move anymore, "The 5000 taels of silver, alas, it's not impossible to get it out, or..."

"No!" When Du Liyu heard that she wanted to take out the money, Du Liyu was absolutely against it. She managed to get a huge amount of silver taels through various channels over the years, and she hadn't had time to completely transfer it into her private treasury, so she absolutely can't take it out now!She thought for a while and then cried in a low voice, "Auntie, here, how can there be any money in the second room? You also know the salary of your husband. All these years, the niece is getting the dowry. Don't spend money..."

The old lady thought the same, she saw her niece crying miserably, and said simply, "They are all children of the family, there is no need to distinguish so clearly, the money should be paid from the public!"

"Auntie, this, this is not good..." Du Liyu reminded, "Although there are not many people in this big house..."

Counting the number of people in the first house is not less than that of the second house, it is just that they have fewer servants. Among them, Gu Shi'an, father and son, all have official positions and have never been married; She is a younger sister, and the dowry given is very generous... It seems that the first wife is indeed much richer than the second wife.

But what made Du Liyu envious the most was the property of the shops left behind by Mrs. Shen, they were all hens that could lay golden eggs!

After hearing what Du Liyu said, the old lady immediately understood, and the guilt towards old lady Shen just flashed in her heart, "Oh, yes, this family belongs, so there is no need to distinguish between you and me. For such a serious crime, I think your uncle, brother, and sister-in-law are also willing to help."

A look of joy flashed across Du Liyu's face, and she finally said her next plan, "Auntie, I have to tell you something next."

"Huh? So serious, what's the matter?"

"My sister was stripped of her title..."

"What?" The old lady thought she didn't hear clearly, "You mean Lanyu?"

"Yes, sister..." Du Liyu's eyes were full of sternness, and she supported the old lady who almost couldn't bear it and was about to push over, "Auntie, do you understand our current situation?"

"This... this is so good... Hasn't the Holy Majesty always doted on Lanyu?"

Du Liyu sneered, "It's not Gu Huai's fault." She said seriously, "Auntie, you have to listen carefully to what I say next."

"Seeing that our majesty has followed Gu Huai's advice, and is becoming more and more alienated from the concubine and sister. The status of our Du family is bound to decline. On the contrary, that little brat Gu Huai has not yet performed the coronation ceremony, but is He's a fourth-rank official! This man grows up like he's being urged to do. If it's the day of his coronation ceremony, the Duke of the State will suddenly feel that this grandson is a good-for-nothing... Eldest brother is a worthless man, and he can't help but give birth to a mischievous Gu Huai! At that time, if the Grand Duke is moved with compassion and asks the elder brother or this mischievous spirit to be the descendants of the world, what can we do with our bloodline?"

She analyzed the old lady one by one, "Don't look at the big house is quiet now, I heard that Zhenyuan Hou Shifeng and General Zhaoyong Shen Zhan are returning to the court, and that Shi Feng and Gu Zhiling are back, this big house should not be arrogant! You Look, that bastard Du Yue hasn't been to Shou'an Courtyard these days! It's really grown wings!"

The old lady was shocked, "Then what should I do?"

Du Liyu looked at the old lady firmly, "After paying off the 5000 taels of silver, please establish a son and separate the family!"
