The news that Concubine Hui was deprived of her title finally spread throughout Huajing.

At the same time, the managers of the dozen or so shops left by Mrs. Shen were all summoned to the Duke of Wei’s mansion. However, it was not included in the Duke of Wei's mansion, but was controlled by these people, and all the profits were stored in the Yinzhuang.

When Du Liyu came in with Zhao Nanny, these people had already greeted each other very comfortably, chatting happily.She paused at the door before stepping in with a smile on her face.

"I've been waiting for a long time, everyone, it's really the family, there are too many things to do." Du Liyu smiled very attentively, "Why is no one serving tea? How can these girl movies serve the distinguished guests!"

"Second Madam, please be polite." The leader was a chubby steward who looked like a Maitreya Buddha.He is the big shopkeeper of Tianxianglou, the number one restaurant in Huajing, and he has always been the leader in these managements.He clasped his hands and bowed to Du Liyu, "Second Madam, you have come to us this time, but what can you order?"

"Oh, it's a long story." Du Liyu sighed falsely, and introduced Zhao Nanny beside her to everyone, "This is Zhao Nanny who is serving by the old lady. She always has a good eye in front of the old lady."

Zhao mama nodded to everyone with a gesture.

The big shopkeeper heard "Old Madam" once, and his chubby belly trembled. He casually nodded at Zhao Momo, "Second Madam, this is..."

"Oh, this - I am also very hard to say..."

"Second Madam, let the old slave talk about this matter." Zhao Mama stood up directly, "Everyone in charge, don't hide this matter from everyone, I think you have also heard about the incident in front of Duke Wei's mansion a few days ago. It's a serious matter, and it even caused trouble to the Governor of Jingzhao. You may have heard some rumors that someone came to collect debts."

She paused, then continued. "This matter is really disgraceful. It was dealt with in the mansion, but it ended up in the Jingzhao Mansion. After being investigated by the governor, the son of the mansion was sentenced to repay the debt within a few days!"

"Oh—is there such a thing?" The big shopkeeper said hehe, "Well, we've been very busy recently, I haven't heard of it!"

There are so many people in the restaurant, I dare to speak even if I haven't heard of it.Du Liyu was disdainful in her heart, but Yemener knew that these were old slick businessmen, and she had a very clear account in her heart, so she would not casually reveal her secrets to others.She coughed twice, "I don't know, everyone, I went out to inquire about it. Yesterday, Mr. Gu Wu brought a girl back to the Duke of Wei's mansion. Everyone knows about it. It happened to this girl. She actually took a large sum of money and left, no, the creditor came to ask for it, and made the Duke's Mansion feel ashamed!"

Gu Huai?When the shopkeeper heard this, he understood what the little Du family was up to.He didn't expose it, and pretended not to know it with a smile, "Is there such a thing? Oh, I'm really ignorant." He didn't even go down the steps.

Du Liyu saw that the big shopkeeper really didn't cooperate with her slippery head. She blushed and said bravely, "Isn't this the way it is! This girl is the confidant of our five sons, and she insists on replacing her." Pay off the debt! Tell me, what kind of thing is this!"

"Oh, yes, what kind of a deal is this!" The big shopkeeper nodded in agreement, anyway, he just didn't want to talk about it.

old fox!Du Liyu secretly hated, "Well, everyone knows that there is no distinction between people in the Duke's Mansion. Our brother Huai owed such a large debt. As an aunt, I will help if I can..."

The shopkeeper directly interjected, "Second Madam Gao Yi!"

Du Liyu: ...

"Hehe." She laughed dryly, "Well, can't this be of no help! You all know that both brother and sister-in-law don't care about business. I still have to trouble you about Brother Huai's matter. I think everyone They all watched Brother Huai grow up..."

"Ah, yes, yes, we all grew up watching Young Master Huai, but we didn't expect to grow so big in a blink of an eye..."

"Yes, yes, it's been so many years!"

"Old Li, do you still remember the bean curd that was sold in the shop next door to you? It's smooth in the mouth and tastes so good!"

"That taste is indeed unforgettable. It has been more than ten years. I still remember the sweet taste very clearly, old man!"

"Nonsense! Their tofu curds are obviously delicious!"

“Sweet and delicious!”

"Salty!"

Du Liyu: ...

If You Wu was here at this time, there would probably be only one big word in his heart: his mother's mental retardation.

But as an ordinary person without systematic blessing, Du Liyu could only inhale deeply, exhale heavily, and finally couldn't hold back the breath, so she grabbed a porcelain cup on the coffee table beside her and threw it down hard !

The ear-piercing sound of the broken porcelain cups finally stopped these people's deliberate digression, and Du Liyu changed her good face just now, "But small merchants, if you give them some color, they dare to open a dyeing workshop, right! If you make an inch, push your nose to the sky!"

She went straight to the front of the crowd and clapped their hands lightly. Dozens of house guards rushed out of the door of the living room and blocked the door densely, making the room darker in an instant.

"I still want to chat with you in a good manner. Since you are so disrespectful, you can't be polite, so you have to go to the army!" Du Liyu slapped the table, "Your young master Gu Huai owes 5000 taels of silver, if you take it today If you can’t come out, don’t blame me for letting people go directly to your shop to pick it up!”

A dozen stewards looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally all eyes were on the shopkeeper.

Shou An Yuan.

The old lady has recently become fond of eating candied fruit, probably as she grows older, her taste becomes extraordinarily heavy, and she is very fond of sweets.A little carelessness, a box of candied fruit was bottomed out again.She touched it and found that the candied fruit box was empty again, and shouted, "Nurse Zhao..."

Suddenly she remembered that she asked Mammy Zhao to follow her niece to meet the storekeepers, so she waved to the maid beside her, "Go, fetch me some sweets."

As soon as she finished speaking, a voice that should not have appeared in the room suddenly came up, "Grandma, eating too much sweets is not good for your health!"

The old lady turned her head, frightened by the person who suddenly appeared in the room, "Why are you here?"

It was Gu Huai who came, and he was standing at the place where the old lady put candied fruit in the past, holding a box of the old lady's favorite candied fruit in his hand, "Grandson is here to say hello to grandma!"

"Come here!" Because of Gu Huai's elusiveness, the old lady subconsciously called out to her people because of her elusiveness. She saw the maid who was standing next to her just now, "Damn girl, go outside and call for someone! Those outside How people do things, outsiders don’t know when they enter the door, it’s the other way around!”

The maid hung her head and said nothing, but took a few steps back.

Gu Huai shook his head, "Grandmother, I told you that you have to change your temperament. The empress dowagers in the palace don't have such a posture as you." He pointed to the door, "However, you dare to imitate the four courtyards. The style of the nobles in the palace makes a pass, and if you open your mouth and keep your mouth shut, it is 'reverse'. Grandma, you really don't worry, will you become yourself when you are rebellious?"

The old lady was horrified by Gu Huai's cold tone, "You...you!"

"What's wrong with your grandson?" Gu Huai gently put the candied fruit in his hand on the table in front of the old lady, "Although eating too much sweet can hurt your health, but look at your tough appearance, grandma. Thousands of years, it seems that there is no problem to eat more." He also thoughtfully opened the candied fruit box, took a silver pick and picked a round and beautiful candied fruit and handed it to the old lady, "Grandmother, try it!"

The old lady slammed the silver pick off with her palm, and the candied fruit on it rolled to the ground, covered in a ring of dust.

"It's a pity." Gu Huai looked at the candied fruit on the ground, but there was no regret in his tone.A pill suddenly appeared in his sleeve, and he picked it up lightly. It was so dark in color that it didn't look like a good thing.

"Grandmother, I have something to ask you. Of course, my grandson believes that you will not lie to my grandson, right?" Gu Huai stood very close to the old lady with a sincere face, "Grandma, you Remember, my grandma, how did Mrs. Shen die?"

The old lady shrank her pupils tightly, and replied reactively, "I don't know!"

"Grandmother, how did you lie to me?" Gu Huai said "tsk tsk" twice, "Oh, it's not good to lie." He smiled, "Grandmother, try this one, I heard it's the best one than you. The candied fruit of love is delicious!" As he said, he directly sent the pill in his hand into the old lady's mouth with lightning speed, pinched his throat again, and swallowed the pill immediately.

"You! You...what did you eat for me!" The old lady was completely terrified.

"It's a good thing for grandma to speak well." Gu Huai said seriously, "Oh, grandma, can you be more sincere and less routine?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the old lady felt a dull pain in her stomach. At this time, her heart was filled with horrible images, and the imagination and fear of death filled her mind instantly.She doesn't want to die! "You...what on earth do you want to do!"

Gu Huai looked at the old lady's expression of pain, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared, "Do you remember how my grandmother died?"

The old lady's voice became even older, "Remember! Remember! Madam, Madam died of exhaustion!"

"Why are you heartbroken?"

"Because of brother Lue, heh, brother Lue's death..."

Gu Huai's face tensed, "Who killed my brother!"

"I, how do I know..."

Gu Huai patted the old lady's stomach expressionlessly. It seemed that the pill was scattered instantly. The old lady felt that her internal organs were about to be displaced in pain. She cried and screamed, "I only know that the person who attacked Surnamed Qi..."

Gu Huai's movements stopped, a dark storm brewing in his eyes. "You do know."

The old lady was in so much pain that she was about to faint.

Seeing that Gu Huai's face was very ugly, You Wu asked in a deliberate tone, "It's almost the same now, her spirit is on the verge of collapse, and she can take medicine. I didn't expect it. I thought this old woman had done so many wicked things, and her spirit should be quite strong--but That medicine requires a lot of achievement points..."

"It's okay."

[Truth Medicine: Allows the user to only tell the truth for a short period of time.Requirements for use: The user's mental barrier is weak; Requirements for exchange: 1000 achievement points. 】

Gu Huai frowned, he didn't know how many achievement points he had.Thinking of this, he opened the system panel, opened the shielded message box, and a bunch of messages popped up in an instant.

[Complete task: improve Zhusheren's identity information, reward: 20 achievement points.

Complete the task: promoted to You Tongzheng, reward: 200 achievement points.

Complete the task: Concubine Hui goes to Fengyin, reward: 100 achievement points.

Complete the task: the relationship with Jin Thigh has heated up sharply, reward: 1000 points.Remarks: This is the business!Hugging your thighs is the first priority!

mission accomplished:……】

Gu Huai: ...hehe.

You Wu was also shocked by so many messages, "Why are so many messages popping up in an instant?"

"I find it annoying, I blocked it before."

[System: Obviously Youwu is even more annoying!Why not block him! 】

Gu Huai shrugged, "But he can't block it." He pointed to the word block on the upper right of the system message panel, "Look, there is a block button, which proves that you support this function!"

The system immediately hides the shield button.

Gu Huai: ...

"Okay, it seems that I have enough achievement points." Gu Huai was very helpless, "Exchange for the 'truth medicine'."

[Exchange: Truth medicine. 】

[Exchange result: success, 1000 host achievement points will be deducted. 】

A pill appeared in her hand again. Seeing that the old lady seemed to be in a daze, Gu Huai directly stuffed the pill into her mouth.

"Who was the mastermind who killed Gu Lue back then?"

"do not know……"

"Who was the murderer who killed Gu Lue back then?"

"do not know……"

Gu Huai: ...Is this medicine broken?

Yuwu: ...Ah, innocent blue!

Gu Huai took a deep breath, and then asked, "Who was involved in this?"

This time the old lady thought hard for a long time before she struggled to speak, "...many people...the ones who came up with ideas came from the palace, probably Lan Yu's meaning..."

"Liyu ordered Yu'er to send Brother Lue and Brother Huai's carriages away that day, and to hire a carriage to pick them up... The person who did the work was from the Ministry of Punishment, a man named Qi, who is familiar with this line of work... "

"The people who investigated the case later were all settled by Shiping...the one from the Ministry of Criminal Justice surnamed Li, and the one from the Dali Temple surnamed Bao, both helped clean up the scene..."

"I... I just helped to cover up the news in the mansion..."

"and also……"

The old lady was still talking, when suddenly a servant girl's voice came from outside, "Second Master, the old lady is resting..."

Gu Shiping is here.The sudden sound made the old lady wake up a lot, and her eyes gradually became black and white. You Wu sighed, "Little Gu Huai, the medicine has expired."

Gu Huai: ...Can I switch to a reliable system now?

You Wu: Haha, no.

In this case, Gu Huai has no other choice, his achievement points are not enough to exchange for another truth medicine, and Gu Shiping is too shrewd to directly match.He exchanged another copy of the dark pill just now and stuffed it into the old lady's stomach, which stopped the colic in her stomach and made the old lady fall into a deep sleep.

After finishing all this, Gu Huai and the maid helped the old lady onto the bed and covered her with a quilt.Gu Huai looked at the old lady on the bed, and said suddenly, "It seems that you really want the title of Duke of Wei. If that's the case, I won't be polite."

It's just for a noble title, it can be so inhumane... Gu Lue's smiling face and the phrase "Save my brother" appeared in Gu Huai's mind...

He took a deep breath, and the window leading to the back door was immediately opened quietly by a hidden guard, and then helped Gu Huai to jump out of the window.

The atmosphere was a bit depressed, and You Wu "haha" laughed dryly, "Little Gu Huai, isn't it good for you to fool the old lady with diet pills at the beginning? Seeing her like that, she really thought it was poison, she was almost scared to death! "

"I just think the name of diet pills sounds like what my beloved grandmother needs." Gu Huai's tone eased, "The old man loves sweets so much, and at such an old age, he should lose weight. Didn't you say that you are too fat? Is it easy for a person to get what is called a three-high disease? I want her to live well and live for a long time."

"That's right, but the old lady will only think it's a terrible dream when she wakes up..."

Naturally, you have to live well, so that you can see the day when everything you want and plan will come to nothing, isn't it?

"Where do we go next?"

"Naturally, I will go and have a look. My good aunt, I heard that she helped me find all the storekeepers of the shop my grandma left for me." Gu Huai was not polite, "I really trouble my aunt to think about me so much. For many years, I still don't know which shops and fields belong to grandma."

As he said that, he went directly to the living room. Didn't he not want to check over the years, where are the family properties left by Mrs. Shen, have they been taken away by the second room, or where have they gone? This time Du Liyu directly Summoning those people to the mansion, this is simply a fat lamb sent to the door.

He was not in a hurry, and walked slowly towards the living room. When he reached the yard, he saw that the door was surrounded by the guards in the house.The guards in the Duke of Wei's mansion never obeyed the orders of the big house, he shrugged and went directly to the back of the house.

You Wu teased him, "Little Gu Huai, you kind of like shrugging your shoulders recently!"

"Learned from you, didn't you say that this gesture meant 'handsome' in your era?"

You Wu looks at the sky: ... Ah, yes, you are so handsome.

Gu Huai shrugged and spread his hands.He went directly to the back of the living room, and as soon as he got closer, he heard Du Liyu's voice raised his voice, "Today, you have to take it if you take it, and you have to take it if you don't take it. If you don't leave 50 taels, don't blame me for coming to take over you immediately." shop, don’t cry that you didn’t guard the shop for the old master!”

"Auntie, do you know what a bandit is?" Gu Huai jumped in from the window and smiled at Du Liyu.
