Rebirth of the Merchant Woman's Revenge

The way he pretended to be stupid made Gu Ziyu and his wife admire him very much. This was not an ordinary level.

"Yes, although your eldest brother has been eating at home all the time, there is no guarantee that someone else's confidant has appeared in the family. I have always only suspected it, but today when the second brother and the clan leader came, many things became clear."

Su's words made their faces change. They all knew best what they were thinking.

Gu Mingyuan said with a gloomy face, "My niece, please be careful with your words. This is a serious crime of murder. You can't speak carelessly and accuse people at will. You and I are from the same clan, and we will never do such a cruel thing."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Gu Ziheng and asked him to express his opinion as well.

"Yes, yes, how could we do such a thing?" Although Gu Ziheng felt guilty, he agreed without hesitation.

At this time, the housekeeper of the Gu Mansion came in from outside the door, and the servant behind him walked in with a little maid tied up.

"Master and Madam, we just found that this little maid was secretly adding something into the master's medicine, so we arrested her. Please make your decision, Master and Madam." The housekeeper's sonorous and powerful voice echoed throughout the hall, and everyone's expression changed differently.

After the butler finished speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle in his hand. More than half of the potion in it had been used up, leaving only a little bit left.

At this point, even the dumbest person should be able to guess that the contents of this medicine bottle must be something extraordinary.

"Xiao Cui? How could it be you?" Su asked in surprise, "Don't you know how I treat you? I give you a lot of rewards on weekdays, why did you do such a thing?"

Xiao Cui cried and bit her lips, kowtowing and begging for mercy, but she refused to say anything else.

"Madam, please spare me, Madam, please spare me..." She kowtowed continuously, and her forehead was already bruised.

"Tell me the truth. Who is the evil-hearted person who asked you to put poison in the master's medicine? If you tell me, I can spare your life." Su stared at her angrily, while trying to comfort Gu Ziyu who was already very angry.

But Xiao Cui refused to say a word. After all, the person who asked her to do this held the life and death of her entire family in his hands. If she survived, none of her parents, brother, younger brother, and her lover would be able to escape.

She had already reached the point of no return.

Mrs. Du also spoke angrily at this time, "Yes, yes, Xiao Cui, who asked you to do such a thing? You are also a child of the Gu family, how could you..."

Xiao Cui was accused, but she did not refute a word. She kept kowtowing with tears in her eyes.

Gu Ziheng narrowed his eyes and said to Gu Ziyu, "Brother, a traitor like this should be killed. What's the point of keeping her alive? Zhao Zhan, do it."

Zhao Zhan was the servant who followed him, and he was a man with some skills. When he heard what Gu Ziheng said, he turned around and raised his hand to hit Xiao Cui on the head.

"You dare?" Su's reaction was timely, mainly because he had guessed in advance that they might do something like killing to silence the witnesses, so he turned around and stood between Zhao Zhan and Xiao Cui.

She spoke harshly, and her usually kind eyes now emitted a fierce light, which actually made Zhao Zhan take a step back and look at Gu Ziheng.

"What? Second brother, are you going to kill people to silence them?" Su asked harshly.

Clan leader Gu Mingyuan also sensed something was wrong at this time. Looking at Gu Ziheng's expression, he could guess what was going on. "Ziheng, you... no wonder you two kept urging me to come here today. It turns out you had this idea in mind. Humph."

Gu Mingyuan flicked his sleeves, ignored Gu Ziheng and Mrs. Du's explanations, and left the Gu Mansion with the two juniors behind him.

He didn't want to get involved in the affairs between the brothers, let alone something so outrageous.

However, when Gu Mingyuan led his men out of the gate of Gu Mansion, he was shocked to find that there were two rows of officials standing neatly outside the gate. Even though he had never seen the man leading the group, looking at his official uniform, even a fool could have guessed that it was Yan Nangui, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Fortunately, I left early, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Yan Nangui ordered his men to let them out, and he immediately entered Gu's mansion with two lieutenants. Without any instructions, he went straight to the hall where they had just been.

"The Dali Temple is handling a case. Outsiders, please keep out of the way." The deputy general reminded loudly, and everyone in the hall immediately shut up.

Xiao Cui, who was kneeling on the ground, was now pale and sat limply on the ground, not daring to move.

Gu Ziheng opened his eyes wide in shock. He never thought that his elder brother had actually reported to the authorities, and that they were the Dali Temple from the capital. Today's incident would probably not be resolved peacefully.

"Lord Yan, you've come at the right time. We just caught a servant who secretly poisoned my master's medicine. Lord Yan, please arrest this person and interrogate him thoroughly to find out who is the mastermind and give us justice." After Su bowed to Yan Nangui, she began to cry and narrate to him.

Yan Nangui's gaze turned to Xiao Cui, who had collapsed into a puddle of mud, and then he looked at Gu Ziheng and his wife, who were standing aside with pale faces.

"Who among you three will speak first?" Yan Nangui had no intention of taking anyone away. For such a simple matter, he could ask all the questions without much effort.

After hearing this, Mrs. Du opened her mouth to speak, but Gu Ziheng pulled her sleeve, so she closed her mouth again.

"Sir, you misunderstood. This matter has nothing to do with us. It was all done by this ignorant slave." Gu Ziheng stepped forward and said to Yan Nangui with an apologetic smile.

"Really?" A deputy general glanced at Gu Ziheng. They were used to seeing all kinds of people, so they developed a pair of sharp eyes. Through Gu Ziheng's little face, they seemed to have seen his guilty conscience.

He just said to the guards behind him, "Go, bring all the family members of this maid here."

Gu Ziheng's smile instantly froze on his face, like a mask, which was shattered into pieces bit by bit, and then cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

After all, all of Xiao Cui's family members have been controlled by them. They asked to bring them here now. In case they can't find them, once they investigate, what they have done behind the scenes to Xiao Cui's family members will be completely exposed.
