At this point, the doctor didn't dare to quibble at all, and replied with a trembling voice: "That's right, that's exactly what happened. We originally agreed to eat the wrong thing. Not long ago, the maid invited me over. On the way, she told me to confirm that it was... It was caused by loose tire pressure due to a fall.”

His eyes fell on Gu Xiuming, who was still kneeling on the ground, and he continued: "This young master gave me a small jade ornament made of fine jade. I got greedy for a moment, so I agreed to them, but I really I didn’t know they would frame people.”

Meng Jinyao took out the large purse that Yu Chuan had given her not long ago, opened it, took out a brave man's palm-sized carving of fine mutton-fat white jade, and asked the doctor: "I, the traitor, have a fixed amount of money every month. You spend a lot of money, and I don’t have much cash, so all I can give you is this kind of object. Take a look, is it this jade ornament?"

The doctor saw the little Pixiu and nodded hurriedly: "That's it. My unscrupulous son fooled around with his friends and gangsters for money, and secretly took it to a pawn shop and pawned it to death. He can't redeem it, so he had no choice but to insist on it today." That aunt had a miscarriage, but why is it in your hands, madam?"

Meng Jinyao took out another bill from her purse and said softly: "You didn't lie, you were indeed cheated, but our people can buy it back with money, and by the way, they also took back the bill in duplicate. It was just in case, and there was still some solid evidence, but I didn’t expect it to actually come in handy.”

After the doctor heard this, his intestines turned green. If he had known this, he would not be greedy. Now he is in trouble. This is the Changxing Marquis Mansion. What should he do? He looked at Meng Jinyao with pleading eyes and asked: "Madam, then, what about me now?"

Meng Jinyao replied: "Although you had no intention of harming others at the beginning, you heard what my traitor said not long ago and you should have known that he wanted to frame me, but you did not tell the truth, so you were not involved in this matter. I'm not innocent. If I didn't have evidence, I would really be hurt by you. As for what you should do, I really don't know. Just wait for the Marquis to come back before making a decision. He is the minister of Dali Temple and is familiar with the laws of our court. .”

After hearing this, the doctor almost fainted. Common people are afraid of meeting officials. Now he has to meet an official as big as the Minister of Dali Temple. Can he survive?

Meng Jinyao glanced at him and said nothing. The old god sat on the ground, waiting for Gu Jingxi to come back.

The matter has come to light, and everyone has understood the whole story. This incident started from the back garden, and it was a conspiracy. It was probably Li Waner who saw Meng Jinyao and then framed her. Or maybe Li Waner and Gu Xiuming had already had the idea of ​​framing her, but they just had the opportunity today.

Zhang and Chen felt that they had watched a thrilling play today, which was more exciting than any play they had seen before.

At this time, Qingqiu trotted over, shouting as he ran: "Madam, the Marquis is back! He is coming this way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the doctor's vision went dark, he fainted from fright, and fell to the ground.

Everyone glanced at the doctor on the ground, guessing that he must have fainted from shock, so they ignored him and waited for Gu Jingxi to arrive.

Gu Xiuming knelt on the cold floor, not daring to get up. Cold sweat was dripping on his forehead. He had a hunch that the punishment this time would be heavier than the previous punishment for escaping from marriage. His selfless father would definitely not be able to spare him, especially His father dotes on Meng Jinyao, his father feels sorry for Meng Jinyao, and he will not spare him lightly.

Not long after, Gu Jingxi appeared in everyone's sight.

Everyone turned their attention to him and saw him striding towards the flower hall with a gloomy face. Before they even entered the flower hall, everyone felt the oncoming pressure.

After Gu Jingxi entered the hall, he looked around with cold eyes, and finally turned his gaze to Meng Jinyao. The coldness in his eyes dissipated, and he asked warmly: "Ayao, what's going on?"

Meng Jinyao glanced at Gu Xiuming and explained the whole incident to Gu Jingxi unhurriedly.

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi frowned and looked down at his son who was kneeling on the ground with a look of panic. He half-squinted his eyes with anger surging in his eyes. He looked at several powerful servants and said in a deep voice: "How many of you are there?" Hey, kidnap Aunt Li and Hong Ling for me." He then turned to Yu Chuan and said, "Yu Chuan, go and prepare pens, inks, paper, inkstones and ink pads."

As soon as Yu Chuan heard this, he knew what he was going to do and immediately responded.

Everyone except Yu Chuan didn't know what he was going to do. They were all confused and looked at him blankly. At this time, wasn't it necessary to punish a few people related to the incident? Why do you need to prepare pen, ink, paper, inkstone and ink pad?

After Gu Xiuming saw his father coming back, he didn't say a word to himself. His heart felt cold. When he heard the words "pen, ink, paper and inkstone", he felt an inexplicable feeling of fear. All kinds of fears were superimposed, which made him feel uncomfortable several times. When I opened my mouth, I couldn't find my voice.

Not long after, Li Waner and Hong Ling were also kidnapped by their servants. Both master and servant knew that the matter had been exposed, and they knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Not long after their master and servant were kidnapped, Yu Chuan also prepared pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and moved a table to facilitate writing, and then went to pinch the doctor's people to wake them up.

Afterwards, everyone knew what Gu Jingxi wanted to do. He was treating this small flower hall as a temporary court. In front of everyone, he didn't give Gu Xiuming any face, and directly interrogated Gu Xiuming like a prisoner. Li Waner, Hongling and the doctor couldn't tolerate their quibbles.

After the interrogation, each of them was asked to sign their confession.

Li Waner, Hong Ling and the doctor were frightened and confessed very quickly. They basically confessed without asking any questions and signed the confession very readily.

Gu Xiuming originally didn't want to sign, but Yu Chuan forced him to sign the confession.

Gu Jingxi read the four confessions, handed the two confessions from Hong Ling and the doctor to Yu Chuan, and said, "What should you do if you take Hong Ling and the doctor to the government, give them the confessions, and let them enforce the law impartially?" Judge it as it is judged.”

Yu Chuan accepted the order, and after receiving the confession, he asked his servants to escort Hong Ling and the doctor to follow him.

Two of the kneeling people were escorted away, leaving only Gu Xiuming and Li Waner still kneeling. Li Waner was still shaking. Gu Xiuming was a little better than her, but when he learned that he had not been sent to the government, he rose again. With a glimmer of hope, I thought about begging my father for mercy and for leniency.

However, Gu Jingxi didn't even look at him, and asked the remaining servants to tie up Gu Xiuming and lock him in the house. He sent a few more servants to guard them, and then took Meng Jinyao's hand and left. .

Zhang and Chen also left, but they were curious about what the punishment for Gu Xiuming and Li Waner would be.

Gu Xiuming looked at the back of Gu Jingxi leaving indifferently, and the hope that rose in his heart was shattered. He knew that his father had not dealt with him now. It was just the calm before the storm. The consequences waiting for him were definitely not something he could bear. Busy talk Opening his throat and shouting: "Father! Father! My son realizes his mistake, father——"

Gu Jingxi turned a deaf ear and pulled Meng Jinyao out of Qingyu Pavilion without looking back.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Chen knew that Gu Jingxi was extremely angry at this time. They were a little afraid of Gu Jingxi and did not dare to gossip at all. They left Qingyu Pavilion in a hurry.

Meng Jinyao glanced at the backs of her two sisters-in-law, then turned to look at the gate of Qingyuxuan, and asked softly: "Husband, Hongling and the doctor have been sent to the government for disposal, what about Xiuming and Aunt Li?"

Gu Jingxi paused, looked at her sideways, and said warmly: "Ayao has been wronged. I will give you a satisfactory explanation tomorrow."

Meng Jinyao was stunned: "Does it take another night to deal with them?"

Gu Jingxi said meaningfully: "If it's as simple as a beating, I can take care of it now, and other things will have to wait until tomorrow. It's getting late, so you go back to have dinner first, and I'll go to my mother's place."

Hearing this, Meng Jinyao's heart skipped a beat. She had a hunch that her husband wanted to do something big!
