"What's the matter?"

"Master is busy with opening a shop in the capital these days. There are so many things to do. Why do you stay in the Gu family? Wouldn't it be more worry-free to go back to Yaoguang Pavilion? Master knows that the Gu family has no good intentions, and even It takes a long time to disturb the master, so that the master can't do things with peace of mind, why don't you want to hide in peace?"

"Some things can't be solved by hiding." The smile on Gu Daoxin's face faded a little, and the meaning of murder was slightly smudged in his beautiful peach eyes. , I should settle down for a while. The most important thing is the person who is plotting to harm me, I am not willing to just let it go. Besides, for those who hide in the dark to harm you, even if you can hide for a while, you can’t hide I. If I don’t get them out, I will feel uneasy. If I really leave the ancient mansion and stay in Yaoguang Pavilion all day, then they will have no chance to attack? If I don’t do it, where will I go to arrest them?”

"Master means..."

"You really think Chunmei is the one who poisoned me?"

"But the master punished Chunmei, Chunmei may indeed have a grudge, and she did disobey the master's order to go out, she still went to the kitchen, the suspicion is naturally great."

"Because of this, everyone thinks that it is very likely that Chunmei will do the job. She feels resentment towards me and goes to the kitchen without authorization. What a coincidence. There is simply no more suitable candidate for the top bag than her. But these coincidences are Whether it's a coincidence or man-made, it's hard to say."

Lu Dong looked solemn, "Master thinks Chunmei was framed by someone?"

"Rather than framing, it is more appropriate to say that it is used."

"If Chunmei is just a cover-up, then who is the real poisoner?"

Gu Daoxin smiled, "Although the ancient mansion is big, there are only so many people. It's hard to find out who is it?"

"Master, do you think it might be Gu Xincheng? Ever since master first entered the ancient mansion, Gu Xincheng has been looking for trouble for master. Chunmei is from the big house, so it is not impossible for Gu Xincheng to take advantage of him." Thinking of harming Gu Dao's heart There might be someone else, but until now they haven't been able to find out this person, Lu Dong feels very uneasy.

"Pfft!" Gu Daoxin laughed out loud, "You think highly of Gu Xincheng too, how can he have such a brain? But just in case, I can still check it out. After you go back in a while, let Luzhi go The big room sent a letter to Shen Qingtian, saying that I got a new pair of fine jadeite bracelets, and I want to lend her hand to give to my aunt, so I can resolve my previous unhappiness, and invite her to come over before dinner one trip."

"Yes."

Before dinner, Luzhi invited Shen Qingtian over.

"Sister-in-law, take a look at this pair of bracelets."

Gu Daoxin pushed two brocade boxes embroidered with red cloth and gold thread in front of Shen Qingtian. The two boxes contained a pair of bracelets.

Shen Qingtian opened one of the boxes, her eyes lit up when she saw the green jade bracelet.Although she is now Gu Xincheng's official wife and usually wears gold and silver, but such good things are indeed rare, even Gu Furen may not have many.

"A good thing! It's a good thing! Look at the transparency, and the emerald water head, it's the best! It's also inlaid with a knuckle-sized golden hollow carving, which makes it even more luxurious and exquisite! Beautiful! So beautiful! "

"My sister-in-law has good eyesight. This is a new product launched by Yaoguang Pavilion today. I think it is emerald and transparent, which matches the complexion of my sister-in-law and my aunt, so I bought it. Although it is a pair, it can also be worn alone. .It’s really only this pair, otherwise I would definitely buy two pairs, one for my cousin and my aunt.”

"Don't, such a good thing must be worth a lot of money, even if it is your own Yaoguang Pavilion, it can't be so expensive."

Gu Daoxin smiled, "They are all from my own family, and they said nothing about spending money. Because of Chunmei's matter, there was a rift between me and my aunt, but to be honest, I really don't think it was my aunt's instruction. It's just that this feeling is still hurt after all. Don't say that I don't see you when I look up. Uncle has taught me a lot these days, so I naturally have no reason to doubt my aunt. I brought some good things here to make my aunt happy. I hope everyone can clear up their suspicions. Oh, by the way, I still have a three-color gem gold step shaker, and I will trouble my sister-in-law to bring it to my aunt. I was in a hurry because of the matter at hand, so I forgot and just took the bracelet. Bring it here, Green Branch."

Lu Zhi, who had been waiting by the side, stepped forward, "What is the young master's order?"

"Go to my room. There is a light blue brocade box on the cabinet, which contains the golden step I want to give to my aunt. Bring it here."

"Yes."

Lv Zhi gave a blessing, turned around and left.

After Lu Zhi left, Gu Daoxin glanced at Lu Dong, who nodded, went out and closed the door, and stood guard at the door.

Shen Qingtian knew that Gu Daoxin had something to say when she asked someone to come to her, no matter how much she liked this bracelet, she had to put it down at this time.

"Why did you ask me, sir?"

"Naturally, there are some things I want to ask for advice. There was a lot of noise about the poisoning before. Although Chunmei was killed with a cane in the end, I don't think Chunmei is like a poisoner. What do you think?"

Shen Qingtian pursed the corners of her mouth, "Since Mr. asked me, that means trusting me, so I'll be blunt. In my opinion, it's unlikely that this matter was done by Mrs. Qian. Mr. Qian has not had much contact with Mrs. Qian. I don't know much about her, but Qian is my mother-in-law, so I know her temper somewhat. Qian looks fierce on the face, but she is just a paper tiger. I'm a little merciful, but I can't be considered a vicious person."

Regarding this point, Gu Daoxin also knows a little bit. Some people are like this. They are arrogant and domineering, but they are not people who are so bad at the bottom. kind of thing.And looking at her usual behavior, you can tell that she is different from the duplicitous Bai Zhi.

Shen Qingtian went on to say: "Not only that, but she is not smart, otherwise she would not be coaxed around by the people in the second room, thinking that she still has the real power to manage the back house, but in fact she has long been taken care of by her sister Xiaoqian." It is empty. The so-called asking her opinion on everything is just a formality, or some unimportant things. Qian doesn't know about the really important things. And to put it bluntly, she has no reason to do so Do it. She wants her son to be an official, but Gu Xincheng is incapable and can't blame him. And if the husband is on the rise, Qian will also feel that the husband should be able to support Gu Xincheng. What Gu Shuyuan can't do, the husband may If she could do it, how could she poison Mr.

"Then do you think it might be Gu Xincheng?"

Shen Qingtian shook her head, "If it was really him who did it, I would definitely not cover him up, but it really isn't. I have directed Gu Xincheng's anger to the second room before, and let him find that their room has been gradually suppressed by the second room Instead, his life may be very unsatisfactory in the future, so he began to regard the second room as a thorn in his flesh. During this period of time, he has been trying to find a way to trouble the second room, and he will not shoot at the husband at this sensitive time. And to be honest, his ability is not enough to complete such a poisoning, how could he have such ability!"

Hearing the last sentence, Gu Daoxin almost couldn't hold back his laughter. Is this a complaint from his wife's soul?

"What you said is similar to what I thought, and I don't think this matter was done by the big house. Gu Shuyuan was too busy building a good relationship with me, and his wife and children probably wouldn't hold him back. Besides, they really did There's no reason why I should die."

"It's impossible for the old lady. She's going crazy looking forward to a high-ranking official from the Gu family. Now all her hopes are pinned on the husband, let alone the case. But the second room doesn't have much conflict of interest. Mr. go When the imperial court is an official, they are still in charge of the business affairs of the family, there will be no change from before, and there is no need for them to..."

Shen Qing Tianhua couldn't continue before she finished speaking. Originally, she wanted to help her husband analyze who was the most likely to poison the person, but in the end, the analysis almost eliminated everyone's suspicions. Could it be Can outsiders do it?To be able to infiltrate the ancient mansion, and to be able to poison it smoothly, the people from outside are too powerful, professional?

Gu Daoxin smiled, "Anyway, if the other party fails once, he will always come again for the second or third time. If he can't catch it once, if he can't catch it twice, he will always succeed the third time."

Looking at Gu Daoxin's appearance, Shen Qingtian always felt that Gu Daoxin already knew who did it, and all he had to do was catch him on the spot.

Gu Daoxin let Lu Dong in, anyway, he had already finished what he needed to say.After a while, Lvzhi came in panting.

Gu Dao smiled heartily, "You little girl is too weak, so I'll let you find a way to shake it. After going for so long, why are you so tired?"

There was a wry smile on Luzhi's delicate face, "Young master, you are so forgetful, how could this step be put on the cabinet? The slaves went in and looked for it for a long time but couldn't find it. Finally, they found it on the flower shelf by the foot of the wall. Yes, that hanging basket is growing well, and the hanging leaves cover the box, if it wasn’t for the carefulness of the servants, I’m still looking for it now!”

Gu Daoxin patted his forehead and smiled, "Tell me, I must have taken it out and put it with the bracelet, but I had to do other things halfway, so I put it on the shelf. Okay, this time it's the young master. No mistake, young master compensates you, you don’t have to do anything today, go back and have a good rest, or go out to play, I still have a little money here, go buy some rouge and gouache, don’t you little girls love beauty!”

Lu Zhiyanhong's small mouth pursed, "I love beauty, but I can't delay serving the young master. There is nothing more important than serving the young master. The servant does not have to rest this day. When will the young master feel like going to the streets? , it would be nice if you could bring your servants along with you."

"You are the only one who can make people happy with your eloquent tongue. Okay, I brought this step shaker too, please ask my sister-in-law to pass it on."

Shen Qingtian stood up, "It's a trivial matter. If my cousin has nothing else to do, I'll go back first."

"Luzhi, go see off my sister-in-law."

"Yes."

Luzhi smiled and led Shen Qingtian out, and she couldn't find a single fault in her speech and demeanor.

Author's gossip: There is a bug. Let me tell you that the ranking of the Gu family is Gushuyuan, the eldest, and Gushubo, the second, and the original owner's father is the third, so Gu Daoxin should address Gushubo as the second uncle, and then address Gushubo's wife, Xiaoqian. It's the second aunt. I made a mistake before and wrote it as the second uncle and aunt. I will correct it all later.
