Reborn as a concubine's sister, the eldest lady went crazy

"What?" Although he didn't know what the so-called confession letter was, Gu instinctively felt that it must be related to him.

At the beginning, Liu and He were both delivered by Granny He, and later they both died. Although she was not a direct participant in the twists and turns, she knew exactly what role Granny Gu played.

"Speak slowly and don't panic." The more critical the moment became, the calmer Gu became. If panic could solve the problem, the world would have been at peace long ago.

"This is it. Granny He wrote it. The original was sent to the main hall of Jingzhao Prefecture. This one is a copy. I'm afraid half of the families in the capital have taken it to see it now!"

Gu took the pages of paper, glanced at them quickly, and beads of sweat the size of beans immediately dripped down. She looked at Huiting in shock.

It begins: My name is He Ma, from the east of Beijing. . .

Gu had no interest in reading these things. The key point was that the words "confession" and "guaranteed to be true" written on them scared her to death.

Because except for the beginning, the rest of the page was filled with dates, names, and amounts of unknown meaning. After just two pages, Gu saw his family's name without any surprise.

On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, Gu Pozi, a servant in the Fuyuan General's Mansion, collected three hundred taels of silver and asked the concubine named Liu to be sterilized.

On a certain day of a certain year, Mrs. Gu, a servant in General Fuyuan's mansion, received 500 taels of silver as hush money to prevent the news of Mrs. Gu killing the concubine named He from being leaked.

On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year...

Gu couldn't read any of the words that followed, and she felt dizzy. Why? Why did Grandma He make such a big fuss when she was about to die? She didn't want the rest of the He family to continue living in Beijing, right?

"Did she really write this?"

"It's absolutely true. The original is in Jingzhao Prefecture. I heard that Lord Shen has compared the handwriting and there are absolutely no mistakes or omissions."

"Didn't they say that she became demented after the accident? How could she possibly write something like this!" Gu rushed forward a few steps and grabbed the servant by the collar.

"This, this, this, this, I heard from her family that she suddenly got better last night, and she confessed to the Buddha, wrote this, and then asked her family to report it to the police, and then she died..."

"Dead, ha, dead!" You bitch, you were liberated before your death. Do you know how much shock this confession letter will bring to the capital?

It’s all over now. Not to mention the power of the housekeeper, I’m afraid the master can’t even protect himself this time. What should I do?

Gu suddenly came to her senses: "Has the master left the court? Has he returned?"

"Not yet, but I think it will be soon."

"Go to the door and answer it, go quickly!" Gu drove the servant away with a sullen face, her heart filled with fear. She had never thought that such a day would come.

Even if I tell the master that this was all Mrs. Gu's idea, he will never believe it. No matter what, he will definitely suspect me.

How to do how to do!

"Huiting, go quickly, go back to my house and tell my parents that I have suffered a great injustice in the mansion, and ask them to come over no matter what. Go quickly!"

Huiting was already scared to death. After hearing the order, he stumbled out of the door to look for help.

There was no one in the room, and Gu took the time to read the confession again. In addition to the affairs of his own family, everything from the prime minister to the police officer was involved. It was a full seven pages. Some of the things mentioned in it were very famous. Not to mention the parties involved, even outsiders like themselves had discussed them as topics of conversation.

Is this... is this true?

Gu didn't believe it. Even though she knew that the confession was not directed at her, it was very likely that what was written on it was true. She didn't believe that Grandma He would make such a suicidal confession.

This doesn't make sense. Even though Granny He is dead, there are still other people in the He family. Once this confession comes out, the He family will probably immediately attract a large number of revenge seekers and truth seekers, and the He family will definitely be doomed.

Could it be that Granny He really had offended the gods and Buddhas, forcing her to repent in the human world?

Thousands of solutions flashed through Gu's mind at once, but he denied them one by one.

This matter is too difficult to handle.

She even suspected that some other nobles wanted to get rid of someone, which implicated her. Otherwise, this confession should only be in Jingzhao Prefecture. How could a handwritten version be published so quickly and spread throughout the capital so quickly?

There was a hint of despair in her eyes, and Gu recalled the words of reassurance that Nanny Gu had said to her.

"Madam, don't worry. Although Aunt Liu is pretty, she will never have children again. You can just sit back and relax as the general's wife!"

"Madam, Aunt He is dead... For the sake of your reputation as a virtuous woman, I suggest that you praise her in front of the general and keep the young master with you!"

"Madam, some things can be done by me, just be at ease."

But in the end, she did not listen to Nanny Gu and raised Xu Yiwen. That was because she had just married into the general's mansion not long ago, and she did not believe that she would not have her own children in the future.

She didn't want Xu Yiwen to take the title of the eldest son, so she didn't choose to raise him. This led to the fact that when she slowly came to her senses later, Xu Yiwen was no longer tamed.

"Mammy, are these things you did for my own good or to my detriment?" Gu was already sobbing and had rejected all the countless countermeasures in her mind. Now there was only one way to go.

That's a sign of weakness.

He begged for peace and forgiveness, and refused to admit what Granny Gu had done, insisting that what Granny He wrote was false.

Only in this way can she maintain her position as the legal wife of the general's mansion and continue to call the shots in the Xu family.

Gu felt extremely humiliated, but she was not a short-sighted person, she was just a little willful. Now that she no longer had Nanny Gu's protection, she had to shoulder all the responsibilities on her own.

She walked silently to the mirror, removed the makeup on her hair bit by bit, and then washed off all the makeup on her face with clean water.

To be punished for taking off her hairpin was the heaviest humiliation for a woman in this era. In order to preserve the overall situation, she had to temporarily endure it from her master.

After packing up, Gu staggered towards the study door, raised her legs, and knelt on the floor tiles at the study door.

She knew that once the master learned about this, he would definitely go to the study to find out what happened first, instead of going to his own main courtyard.

So she waited. She waited for the man to soften his heart, and also bet that this man was a man who cared about his reputation and would never do anything to her because of the rumors.

Otherwise, once the charges are confirmed, the biggest damage will be to his face.

Sure enough, after just a cup of tea, the master came in like a gust of wind. When he saw Gu, he went straight into the study without saying a word and locked the door from the inside.
