Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

It's a cloudy day.

Early in the morning, the northwest wind was blowing.

The wind poured into the body from the collar, and the only bit of warmth on the body was taken away by the cold wind in a blink of an eye.

The servant pushed open the door and called Old Master Gu to get up.

Master, it's time to get up. Today I have an appointment with the doctor to ask for a pulse, but you can't lie down all the time.

The servant called, but there was no movement on the bed.

So he came to the bed, stretched out his hand, and planned to wake up Mr. Gu by himself.

As soon as his hand touched Mr. Gu, the servant suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Immediately after...

what!

A scream pierced the sky and broke the tranquility above the Gu residence.

Mr. Gu died, and he died all night, and the body was already stiff before being found.

It was only when it was dark that Gu Jiu welcomed the people who reported the funeral from the Gu residence.

She wanted to cry, but couldn't cry.

I just felt uncomfortable, my heart was stuffy, and I didn't eat two bites of dinner at night.

Liu Zhao didn't worry about her, he pushed everything and stayed by her side all the time.

Gu Jiu lay down in the middle of the night before getting up from the bed.

Do you feel better? Liu Zhao asked.

Gu Jiu leaned on his shoulder, I feel empty in my heart, I don't know if it's sadness or something else. It's just uncomfortable.

People cannot be resurrected from the dead. My condolences. Early in the morning, I will accompany you to review the palace.

Gu Jiu nodded, Uncomfortable!

Liu Zhao hugged her, Will it be better this way?

Maybe.

One night, Gu Jiu was half asleep. Not sleeping deep enough, but not staying awake.

The whole person is in a very strange state.

In the morning, when she was woken up, she was still groggy.

Are you going?

If you don't feel well,

We leave later.

Gu Jiu sat on the bed and was silent for a long time before he said, When I first returned to the capital, I heard many rumors about the old man being bad.

On the day of returning to Beijing, the master made another scene. At that time, like everyone else, I had a bad impression of the old man.

Later, because my father angered the empress and empress and was imprisoned, I realized that the old man was not what people said.

Liu Zhao was a quiet listener.

Gu Jiu continued: Afterwards, I had a relationship with the old man. I would tell him to drink less and pay attention to his health. He would take out the money from his private house to congratulate me on my wedding and birth of a child. This is the first share in the mansion. , other sisters and sisters do not have this treatment.

I am very happy every time I receive gifts. I also hoped that he would live a long life. Unexpectedly, people left in a blink of an eye.

Liu Zhao silently hugged her and gave her strength.

Gu Jiu took a deep breath, I didn't expect that the last time we met would be the last. If I had known earlier, I would have...

Gu Jiu couldn't speak.

Don't talk about it. We'll go to Gu's house later.

Gu Jiu nodded, her current state is indeed not good, she has to calm down.

By the time the two set off and arrived at the Gu Mansion, it was already three poles in the sun.

White lanterns were hung at the gate of the Gu Mansion, and the servants were all dressed in mourning clothes, welcoming guests at the gate.

The mourning hall is located in the side hall of the outer courtyard. Mr. Gu and Mr. Gu are not there. Only the men from the two rooms knelt in the mourning hall and kowtowed.

Together with Liu Zhao, Gu Jiu offered incense and kowtow to worship, and offered a ceremonial offering.

The men returned their salutes together, Gu Chen stood up and said to Gu Jiu, Second sister is going to the flower hall to drink tea, the guests are all over there.

Gu Jiu asked him, How did the old man die?

Gu Ting lowered his head and sighed, Life is alive, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable.

Sixth brother doesn't want to tell the truth, then I'll ask Gu Gong. Gu Gong's mouth is not firm, so he will definitely say it.

Gu Chen frowned, Why does the second sister think that the old man's death is strange? The first person to find out that the old man died was Chang Sui by his side. As you know, no one would enter or leave the old man's yard on weekdays.

Gu Jiu said, Because the old man's body has not yet reached the end of his life.

The old man was indeed addicted to alcohol, but he also listened to her words and took medicine on time to recuperate.

With the old man's physical condition, it would be no problem to live another three or four years.

Seeing Gu Jiu's determined expression, Gu Chen said, It's okay, it's okay. You go to your sister-in-law, and you go and ask her. Just say I asked, and she will tell you the truth. People come and go here, not a place to talk.

Gu Jiu stared at him, So, the old man's death really has an inside story.

Gu Chen said: The old man left a suicide note and arranged the funeral properly. Even the separation of the family was taken into consideration.

Gu Jiu frowned, What do you mean, the old man has long wanted to die.

Gu Chen said: I don't know, I only confirm that the suicide note is genuine, with the signature of the old man and the seal. Even the old man's private house is kept together with the suicide note. In this matter, the old man of the Hou residence next door and the The old lady has been confirmed to be correct, and there is no doubt.

At this time, another guest came to the door to offer condolences. Gu Jiu couldn't stay any longer, so she said to Gu Chen, I'll go to my sister-in-law to find out, thank you sixth brother.

Can you call the third brother back? He is the eldest son of our second room. The old man passed away, and he should be there.

He is now in the Northwest Army, and it's too late to come and go.

Gu Chen sighed, I see. My sister will go to the flower hall to drink tea first.

Gu Jiu took Liu Zhao to the flower hall, and sure enough, all the guests were drinking tea in the flower hall.

Liu Zhao said to her, You go talk to your sister-in-law, and I'll talk to the people from Hou's mansion.

The couple split up.

Hu is entertaining guests.

After Gu Jiu expressed her intention to come, she explained to the maid to greet the guests, and then dragged Gu Jiu to the wing to speak.

Second sister wants to ask how the old man died, right?

Gu Jiu nodded, I still know the old man's body. He hasn't reached the end of his life yet.

Who said no. Since my husband has said something, I will not hide it from my second sister. The old man committed suicide by burning charcoal.

what?

Gu Jiu couldn't believe it.

At first she guessed whether someone murdered the old man.

Never thought it would be suicide.

The blood on her face faded, For no reason, why did the old man commit suicide? The father's case has been solved, the house has calmed down, and the old man has no reason to commit suicide at all.

We all thought so. But the old man was sure that it was written in his suicide note. He said he had enough to live, so he decided to kill himself. Everything after his death was arranged, and he even left enough money for the funeral.

Gu Jiu took a deep breath, Where is the old man's suicide note? I want to see it myself.

The suicide note is taken by the uncle.

Gu Jiu went directly to the big house to ask Master Gu to ask for a suicide note.

Master Gu seems to have been prepared for a long time, I knew that you would intervene in this matter. The suicide note is here, you can read it slowly.

Master Gu handed the suicide note to Gu Jiu and left the study.

The suicide note is very thick, with seven or eight pages.

First, the reasons for suicide, and then the arrangements for the funeral, the idea of ​​separation. Even Gu Shan's marriage was considered.

Afraid of delaying Gu Shan's marriage, the old man deliberately mentioned this in his suicide note, and asked Mr. Gu Erfang to hurry up and marry Gu Shan to Duke Zhu's mansion before the filial piety passed.

After that, Fuzhong talked about the matter of keeping filial piety.

In addition to the cost of the funeral, Mr. Gu also left some money for his private house, all of which he decided to share.

Even Gu Jiu was given two thousand taels of silver, plus a few servants.

After reading the thick suicide note, Gu Jiu became more and more sad.

This is indeed the handwriting of Mr. Gu.

Gu Jiu's best thing is to imitate handwriting, so she is very sensitive to handwriting.

The handwriting was confirmed to be correct, and it was written by Mr. Gu himself. The choice of words and sentences are also the habitual expressions of the old man Gu, revealing an arrogance.

Even if he were to die, he would scold all the unfilial children and grandchildren in the suicide note, leaving a big shadow on the unfilial children and grandchildren.

But precisely because the suicide note was true, the doubts in Gu Jiu's heart grew bigger and bigger.

Master Gu came in from outside, Have you read it?

Gu Jiu took the suicide note and asked, Why did the old man die?

The old man said in his suicide note...

Does Uncle believe it? She interrupted Uncle Gu.

Master Gu was a little confused, What do you believe?

The eldest uncle really believes in the reasons written in the suicide note. The old man committed suicide because he was tired of living?

Master Gu was embarrassed for a moment, So what if you don't believe it. The matter has come to this point, it is important to let the deceased rest in peace.

Gu Jiu shook his head, There must be a reason for the death of the old man. He may have been forced to death.

Why do you think so? Who can kill the old man? Aren't you the one who suspects the mansion? Impossible. No one can kill the old man.

Master Gu flatly denied it.

Gu Jiu said, I didn't say that the people from the Gu family forced the old man to death.

Then who are you talking about? Who has the ability to kill the old man?

Gu Jiu put down the suicide note, This is just my guess, the eldest uncle doesn't need to take it to heart. Whatever the funeral should be done. The fourth sister's marriage must be arranged early, and the fourth sister's youth cannot be delayed.

As for the separation of the family, let's discuss it. If you need me to come forward, let someone go to the palace and say it.

Master Gu felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't guess.

Gu Jiu didn't want to say more.

Everything is just her guess, and she has no evidence to prove her guess.

She was in a dark mood.

When I was in the atrium, I met Gu Yu, the fourth brother of Gu.

Gu Yu's expression was a little pale, and his life has not been very good these days.

Second sister condolences.

Gu fourth brother condolences.

After a pause, Gu Jiu suddenly asked, Is my father really innocent in the case of the Ministry of Finance's corruption of ink?

Gu Yu frowned, Why did the second sister suddenly ask about this?

Gu Jiu said casually: I'm just curious. I heard that Master Ma has not been found yet. It can be said that there are no dead or dead. This is too strange.

Gu Yu frowned and thought for a moment, It's not right to say that adults are completely innocent.

Did Master Gu really take part in the corruption case?
