After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official
Chapter 96 Reversal
Duobao's words not only confirmed Gu Jin's crime of poisoning Gu Rou, but also revealed another secret to everyone - that is, Gu Jin is still obsessed with Xie Qing until now.
Duobao has his own little plan. As a result, Su and Xie Ran will inevitably become alienated from Gu Jin. Without their help, Gu Jin will be completely isolated and helpless in the Marquis' Mansion.
Mrs. Huo turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and squinted at Duobao, "If you knew about it a long time ago, why did you report it only today?"
Duobao was afraid of Mrs. Huo's majesty, so she lowered her head and replied carefully, "I have a deep relationship with the Third Young Madam, and I try to persuade her to turn back every day, but she won't.
Until today when the eldest young lady fainted, I felt guilty..."
Xie Qing stared at Gu Jin with mixed feelings.
He didn't want to believe that she would do such a vicious thing, but did this mean that she still couldn't let him go?
She was just being stubborn by rejecting me today.
Xie Qing gave Su a meaningful look and said in a gentle and persuasive way, "Gu Jin, we have known each other for many years and I know that you don't have such deep thoughts. Did someone force you to do this?"
Xie Qing almost mentioned Su and Xie Ran's names.
Gu Rou was furious. She had been harmed to this point, but Xie Qing still wanted to defend Gu Jin!
He was really bewitched by the vixen Gu Jin!
Gu Rou clenched her fists tightly. Only the pain of her nails digging into her flesh allowed her to remain calm.
Marquis Yongchang frowned. Su was a kind person and would never instruct Gu Jin to do this.
He was about to open his mouth to defend Su, when he heard Gu Jin say in a light tone: "No one forced me."
"Jin'er!" Su was so anxious that she grabbed Gu Jin's sleeve, signaling her not to fall into the trap set by Aunt Xu and others.
Li's eyes were cold and cruel, "If I didn't force you, then you did it yourself?
Gu Jin, Rou'er regards you as her own sister, but you are so cruel to her, it is simply unjust..."
Gu Jin raised his hand to interrupt Li's next words, and rubbed his ears that were hurt by the noise. "No wonder the old saying goes that three women make a drama. You two are really noisy. It took me a long time to understand what you meant."
"Stop pretending to be crazy and stupid. Now that you've been caught red-handed, you can't deny it with just a few words!" Li had hated Gu Jin for a long time. First, he robbed Rou'er's dowry and then blackmailed her for 30,000 taels of silver.
As long as Gu Jin is eliminated, those things can be returned to their original owners!
"Jin'er, just say whatever you want to say." Mrs. Huo looked at Gu Jin calmly and did not easily convict her just because she was being criticized by thousands of people.
Mrs. Huo had met all kinds of people. Although she sometimes couldn't understand Gu Jin's actions, she didn't think that Gu Jin would do such a thing.
"Grandma, don't be deceived by Gu Jin. She has a lot of bad intentions. Our Yongchang Marquis' Mansion cannot tolerate such a person!" Xie Miaorong took advantage of the opportunity and pretended that she was thinking about the Marquis' Mansion all for her own good.
Huo glanced at her and said, "Do you mean that I am old and confused?"
"Grandma, Miaorong dare not." Xie Miaorong's face changed and she shook her head hurriedly.
Huo said in a deep voice: "Since this matter has nothing to do with you, please don't interrupt. Have you forgotten how I taught Miaoyin before?"
Gu Rou and Xie Miaoyin were punished by the Huo family because they just followed the crowd.
Xie Miaorong thought that Ma was still waiting for her good news at the Wanfo Temple. She had to attend the Qixi Palace Banquet. It would be a waste of time if she was confined to her room for such a trivial matter.
Xie Miaorong dared not say anything more and just glared at Gu Jin to vent her anger.
Anyway, there are witnesses and evidence, so it’s useless even if Gu Jin is eloquent!
"Grandma, I have never done such a thing, and I don't know why Duobao would say such words to slander me."
Li sneered, "You said you didn't do it, then you didn't do it. The evidence is all here, and you can't lie!"
"What evidence?" Gu Jin curled his lips and chuckled, his eyes clear as mirrors, "Confessions can be fabricated at will. If I pick out someone and say that Second Aunt went to a brothel, does her words count as evidence?"
Su's eyes rolled and he immediately said, "Hey! Yes, yes, yes! I saw it!
You even ordered two young waiters that day!"
Li was so angry that her face turned red, "You...you are slandering me!"
Marquis Yongchang held his forehead helplessly. Are these mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sure they are not real mother and daughter?
Gu Jin spread his hands, "Second Aunt also saw it, the so-called witness is not reliable."
Li gnashed her teeth in hatred, "Then there is physical evidence, how are you going to explain it!"
"You keep saying that the necklace is stained with musk, but that's just your one-sided statement.
You don’t believe in me, and I don’t believe in you.”
Aunt Xu's eyes moved slightly, "What does the Third Young Madam want?"
"Find another doctor!"
Aunt Xu almost laughed out loud. She thought Gu Jin had some tricks up his sleeve, but it seemed like he was really desperate.
She curled her lips slowly and said in a soft voice: "Old Madam, why don't you just follow what the Third Young Madam said.
Even if they are convicted, they should be convinced.”
Regardless of whether Gu Jinfa knew about Musk in advance, she was bound to bear the crime!
Mrs. Huo thought about it and told Yuci to find a reliable doctor.
"Yuci, you don't have to go."
Xie Ran came from outside, like the gentle breeze and bright moon falling into the mortal world, creating a touch of clear light.
There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes and his voice was gentle, "I'm late and I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."
Gu Jin shook his head and gave a gentle smile, "It's okay, I knew you would come."
The two looked at each other, with a gleam in their eyes that only the other person could understand, and in the eyes of others it was affectionate love.
Su raised the corners of her lips in relief, while Marquis Yongchang rolled his eyes coldly.
My teeth are so sour!
"Grandmother, today when I entered the palace, I happened to meet the imperial physician who was checking your Majesty's pulse. Your Majesty was concerned about my father's injury and specially allowed the imperial physician to come into the palace to check my father's pulse."
Behind Xie Ran stood a thin old man, carrying an exaggeratedly large medicine box on his shoulder.
One can't help but wonder which one is heavier, the old man or the medicine box?
"It's Doctor Zhang. Thank you for your help."
Doctor Zhang nodded to Mrs. Huo, but acted as if to tell others not to get close to him.
Gu Jin raised his eyebrows. This old imperial physician was quite a character.
Doctor Zhang came to take the pulse for Marquis Yongchang. He was a little unhappy when he heard that he was asked to take Gu Rou's pulse.
He is the best doctor in Chen State, how can he treat all minor illnesses?
Xie Ran glanced at him sideways, and Doctor Zhang stepped forward reluctantly.
"Stretch out your hand!" Doctor Zhang said to Gu Rou impatiently.
Gu Rou was a little annoyed, but she didn't dare to lose her temper, so she could only stretch out her arms obediently.
"Your pulse indicates that you have contracted a cold. If you want to have children, you must take good care of yourself."
"What? How is this possible!"
Gu Rou was shocked when she heard this and blurted out subconsciously.
She had kept the musk beads in the warehouse and took careful care of herself on a daily basis, so how could she have caught a cold?
Xie Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, it seemed that Mo Yin did a good job.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Gu Rou realized it later and rushed into Li's arms, "Mother, now even Doctor Zhang said so, what should my daughter do!"
Li thought this was all a show, and patted Gu Rou's back gently to comfort her, "Guai Rou'er, it's okay. Now that we've found the source, we just need to take good care of her.
It's a shame that Gu Jin used this musk-soaked necklace to harm you. Mother will definitely seek justice for you!"
Upon hearing this, Doctor Zhang picked up the necklace on the tray and put it under his nose to sniff it, his gray eyebrows twisted into a ball.
Aunt Xu curved her lips, her eyes full of the brilliance of planning and strategizing, "Zhang Yizheng, is there something wrong with this red jade coral necklace?"
Doctor Zhang threw the necklace back onto the tray, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, saying with disgust, "It's a good thing to calm the mind, but it had to be placed in a temple and contaminated with pungent sandalwood.
If you want good health, you should go see a doctor and follow his advice, instead of praying to gods and doing useless things!"
Doctor Zhang didn't like supernatural things, and he hated it most when people went to temples or Taoist temples to pray when they were sick.
Anyone who had been to the temple and then came to him for treatment would be scolded by him, "My medical skills are shallow and I can't treat diseases. You should go find those monks and Taoist priests!"
Aunt Xu frowned, "Doctor Zhang, besides the sandalwood necklace, is there anything else, such as musk?"
Doctor Zhang looked at her with a haughty expression, "Are you questioning me?"
Aunt Xu was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head and said, "I dare not..."
"I dare you to ask!
I started learning to identify medicinal herbs when I was five years old, so how could I not know if there was musk?"
Aunt Xu didn't care about Doctor Zhang's attitude, but she felt a pang in her heart when she heard it.
Aunt Xu looked up and saw Gu Jin raising his eyebrows and curving his lips at her, with a teasing and provocative smile in his eyes.
She suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart...
