After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

"You said it wasn't you. Ling'er already said that she was protecting you in the restaurant because she was worried about the reputation of the Hou family." The old lady raised her hand and gave Tan Zhixu a slap in the face.

Tan Zhixu's cheek hurt, but he held it back and remained motionless, "I said, it's not me."

Seeing Tan Zhixu being so tough-talking, the old lady trembled slightly, "You made the sweets yourself, and no one else in the kitchen has ever touched them. Who else are you?"

The old lady's rich voice had a hint of certainty, as if it was Tan Zhixu who did it.

"Master Gu has already tested it, and it's not found."

"Based on Gu Huaijing's relationship with you, it makes sense for him to help you, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Tan Zhixu finally realized that this old lady was singing along with Song Ling'er and wanted to accuse her of poisoning her to death.

well.

"Mom, I didn't inject the poison, but Ling'er was poisoned in a restaurant, so my daughter-in-law will definitely give Ling'er an explanation for this matter. I asked Gu Yu to report it to the official before I came here. I believe the people from the government will arrive soon. .”

"Who allowed you to report to the official?"

As soon as she heard the report to the official, the old lady became anxious. She planned to use lynching. If this was to report to the official, how could she use family methods?

Seeing this, Tan Zhixu suppressed a smile, knowing that she and Song Ling'er were in the same league. If she didn't report to the official, would she be waiting to be slaughtered by you mother and daughter?

He sneered in his heart, but his face looked blank, "Mother, such a big thing happened in the restaurant, how can we do it without reporting it to the official?

"

Tan Zhixu had said everything, and now the old lady seemed to have nothing to say. She suppressed her anger and saw Aunt Huang awkwardly entering from outside the ancestral hall, "Old madam, the people from the government office are here. We need to investigate the eldest girl’s poisoning.”

"Let Tan Zhixu go."

"Yes."

Aunt Huang looked at Tan Zhixu expressionlessly. She struggled to get up and walked out of the ancestral hall with her.

When she came out of the government office again, the crescent moon was already on the branches and the streets were deserted. She and Gu Yu walked on the streets without feeling any fear.

"Girl, you said that the eldest girl must say that you were the one who poisoned us. What should we do? The government has given us three days. If we can't prove our innocence, are we really going to go along with the Song family? the meaning of?"

Gu Yu looked at Tan Zhixu worriedly, but she shook her head with a smile, "No, go check the poison in Song Ling'er. I believe you can find clues."

"it is good."

Gu Yu nodded, and was about to go to the restaurant to look at the remains of dim sum, but saw Teng Xi.

In the past, when the girl wouldn't let them have contact, she could listen, but now it was a critical moment, and it seemed that Teng Xi could save a lot of trouble if she had Teng Xi's help.

"Are you here to help?"

"Yes."

"Just go to the restaurant with me."

Gu Yu couldn't help but drag Teng Xi away.

Tan Zhixu looked at their backs and shook his head helplessly, but thinking that Teng Xi could really help Gu Yu, now that it was not time to be pretentious, he simply pretended not to see it, turned around and wanted to go back to the Hou Mansion, but when he turned around, he fell into into a silhouette.

She took a closer look and saw clearly that it was Gu Huaijing.

That's right, Teng Xi must have appeared because of his instructions.

"Master Gu."

Tan Zhixu gave Gu Huaijing a gift.

"I smelled some herbal medicine in the upper room. According to this, you go to Song Ling'er's room and search. If you find it, it will prove that she poisoned herself."

This time, Gu Huaijing didn't do anything to set the stage, and directly gave Tan Zhixu a prescription.

The moment he saw the prescription, Tan Zhixu remembered that as the canal admiral, he was always exposed to medicine. He personally tested many herbs when they were shipped from the dock. It was probably at this time that he developed his skills. Just do it.

Tan Zhixu nodded and put away the prescription, "Okay, I understand, thank you sir."

Both of them stood there and suddenly didn't know what to say. Gu Huaijing broke the silence first, "Be careful when you go back. It's true that Song Ling'er likes the prince, but her behavior is too extreme, so you must be more careful. "

"I know."

Tan Zhixu nodded and smiled, "It's getting late, go back early."

"I'll take you back."

Tan Zhixu opened her mouth to say no, but Gu Huaijing's firm eyes made her swallow the words that came to her lips.

After that, the two of them walked on the street without saying a word until they arrived outside the gate of the Hou Mansion. Gu Huaijing asked Tan Zhixu to stare at the maid next to Song Linger.

"That little maid should know everything."

"okay, I get it."

Tan Zhixu forced a smile and entered the Hou's mansion without looking back. It wasn't that she was heartless, but she was really worried that she wouldn't be able to leave if she didn't leave.

Gu Huaijing was so good that he even started to interfere in the affairs of the female family members for her sake. He was a person who could show his talents in the court, and was not a person who could be tied down by such affairs at home.

Thinking that she had caused him harm, Tan Zhixu couldn't help but blame herself.

An hour later, Guyu came back with a smile, "Girl, I and Commander Teng discovered that although the sweet was poisonous, only the outermost part was poisonous, and the position remained unchanged, even close to the eldest girl..."

Gu Yu was very excited. It was thanks to Teng Xi that he could find this clue.

"Okay, I understand. It's getting late. Let's go and rest first. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."

Tan Zhixu was amused by Gu Yudan's expression and urged her to rest while he slept lightly.

The next morning, Gu Yu got up earlier than Tan Zhixu. She had prepared breakfast early and was waiting for Tan Zhixu to wake up, so she saw Gu Yu as soon as she opened her eyes.

It would be hard for anyone to laugh alone in front of your bed so early in the morning.

Tan Zhixu shivered. When she saw it was Gu Yu, she couldn't help but mutter, "What are you doing?"

"Girl, get up quickly and investigate the truth. There are only two days left to go."

"well."

Knowing that this girl was doing it for her own good, Tan Zhixu didn't have an attack. After breakfast, the master and servant went directly to Song Ling'er's yard.

Tan Zhixu had thought of this for a long time, but Gu Yu was puzzled and kept mumbling along the way, "Why are you coming to see her? She actually wants to frame you, but you are so generous and want to visit her."

Gu Yu was so unhappy that he almost said it loudly, and his little face was twisted into a knot.

Tan Zhixu couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't go to see it, I went to find out the truth. Smell the smell of these herbs."

Gu Huaijing was quite considerate. He not only gave prescriptions but also herbs, just because he was worried that Tan Zhixu wouldn't be able to find them. The taste of these herbs was very unique, and most people would definitely remember them after smelling them.

"This is?"

Guyu asked while smelling it.

"Whether I can prove your girl's innocence or not depends on these medicines..." Tan Zhixu Fu'er warned Guyu.

When Tan Zhixu straightened his back, Gu Yu nodded suddenly, "Girl's heart is wrapped in this slave's body."
