Minister Gu has been a little restless in the Ministry of Revenue these days. Although the matter has not yet been traced back to Zhu, the Dali Temple has arrested too many people recently. In addition, Nanny Zhu's brother has also been interrogated several times.

After returning home, Minister Gu called his subordinates and gave them some instructions.

He was going to sit in the study.

As soon as I arrived at the study, I saw a stack of papers on the study table.

Minister Gu's heart skipped a beat and he immediately looked inside the house.

"Who? Who is it? Come out."

Minister Gu looked everywhere, but he didn't find anyone.

Minister Gu searched like crazy for a long time, and then he called the servant at the door.

"Didn't you see anyone today?"

"Master, I really didn't see anyone."

Minister Gu waved away the servants and looked at the stack of papers on the table.

confession?

Minister Gu looked at the first one and found that it was written by Xie's maids.

What followed were the confessions of the midwives, the maidservant Huaer, the kitchen manager Liu, and others. The testimonies said that Xie was killed by Zhu.

At that time, he and Zhu were having a passionate affair, and he felt that he had wronged Zhu. But Xie was a new wife, and his parents did not agree to divorce her, mainly because Xie was pregnant.

At that time, he was reluctant to let Zhu be his concubine. Zhu said that she didn't ask for anything, as long as he was well. She also asked him to treat Xie well.

When Xie was giving birth, Zhu was ill, so he went to the courtyard where he and Zhu lived and stayed there for a day and a night.

The servants came to report that Mrs. Xie was about to give birth. At that time, he was very impatient and said that there was nothing wrong with a woman giving birth and asked them to report to him after the baby was born.

Later, Xie died of heavy bleeding.

His parents punished him by making him kneel on the ground for several hours.

At that time, he saw the girl that Xie had given birth to with all her might. Her skin was red and she looked like no one. He didn't like her and had her taken away.

At that time, Zhu was pregnant, and he was anxious. If he didn't marry Zhu home, Zhu's belly would get big, and it would be a scandal...

When Minister Gu looked at these things, Xie's appearance appeared in his mind. He didn't know why, but he could hardly remember what Xie looked like before.

But now, Xie's appearance appeared clearly in my mind.

On the wedding night, she looked at him nervously, her eyes were very beautiful. At that time, he hated Xie in his heart. That night, after sleeping with Xie, he immediately went to the study to sleep. He didn't care whether Xie would be gossiped about.

In the days that followed, he didn't want to go to Xie's room, but his mother kept asking him to go...

Were these testimonies sent by Gu Zhao?

Who else would send this except Gu Zhao? And only the Qinhou Mansion had such a powerful guard who could deliver the things to his study without alerting his men. He thought of what Gu Zhao said.

Minister Gu's eyes changed and he decided to go meet Zhu.

Zhu wanted to see her son, but she hadn't seen him in the past few days. Moreover, the food she had eaten these days was much worse than before. One dish, one soup and one rice. Usually, the third-class maids under her had better food than this.

At first, Zhu refused to eat, but after a few meals of hunger, she had to eat. If she didn't eat, she would really starve to death.

Now she doesn't even have a place to take a shower.

When Zhu thought about her previous life and then her current life, she felt extremely uncomfortable.
