Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Xie wasn't nervous about going to see Gu Jiu.

She is very calm, it seems that she can accept any result.

Sit down and talk.

Mrs. Xie sat down generously and did not thank her.

Xu Yousi yelled loudly, but was stopped by Gu Jiu.

She smiled, For so many years, seeing you today is the most pleasant time.

Xie said: If you don't care about gains and losses, people will become pleasing to the eye.

That makes sense. Gu Jiu greeted her for tea.

For the first time in so many years, the two sat down to drink tea and talk calmly.

Gu Jiu put down the teacup, I have a few questions, I hope you can tell me everything.

Ma'am, may I ask? Xie's expression was calm.

Gu Jiu asked: Before you entered the Gu family, did your elder brother Xie Mao ever say anything to you?

Xie recalled back then, He told me not to worry, everything is up to him.

Did he say anything before my mother died?

He told me to be patient and not to make my own claims.

Gu Zhili set you upright, was it planned by your elder brother Xie Mao?

That's right! I lived in the capital at that time, and the two families were close to each other. My elder brother often sent people to visit me and bring me messages. He told me that I would marry into the Hou's mansion. Later, I really entered the Gu's family. He told Me, my life is very precious, I won't be a concubine forever, and I was indeed righted afterwards.

Gu Jiu knew it in his heart, Going back to Beijing from the northwest, you turned against Gu Zhili and Xie Mao, do you regret it?

Mrs. Xie laughed at herself, It seems a bit late to talk about regrets now.

It seems to be regretful.

Gu Jiu tapped on the table lightly, and after a moment of silence, said: Go back.

Xie was surprised, Is this the end?

Gu Jiu had a half-smile, I have a few questions in my mind, and they have already been answered. Take care of yourself.

Xu Yousi personally sent Mrs. Xie back to her room.

Xie was worried,

Lost the initial calm.

She thought that Gu Jiu would use white knives in and red knives out to her, straight to the point, tearing everything apart.

Unexpectedly, the other party simply asked her a few questions and sent her away.

Eunuch Xu, what is the queen's intention? Mrs. Xie asked timidly.

Xu Yousi had a condescending attitude, looked at the gray-haired Mrs. Xie, and said indifferently: You are so smart, why didn't you understand what the Empress Empress meant.

Mrs. Xie was at a loss, The implication? I didn't catch it!

Xu Yousi made a point: Everything is over, do you understand?

Xie was at a loss at first, but then his face changed and his expression tightened.

Trembling, she leaned on the door frame, Is it over?

Xu Yousi said with disgust: You got everything that didn't belong to you, and enjoyed a life of wealth and honor that you shouldn't enjoy. Your children also got a future and wealth that others can't envy. It's time to liquidate all this and put Pay off.

Mrs. Xie nodded with difficulty, Tell the empress, I will not let her down, I will pay off the debt myself. It's just my child... What is the attitude of the empress? Don't blame them because of me.

Xu Yousi sneered, Your Majesty wants to do what you want, how can you be presumptuous! You take care of your own affairs and don't reach out. Otherwise, your children may really be angered.

Xie's old tears, weeping.

Seeing Xu Yousi's disgust, she hastily wiped away her tears, I know myself well, and I will give my mother a satisfactory explanation.

So good!

Xu Yousi turned and left, waiting for Gu Jiu to go back to Prince Qin's residence.

...

The palace has been repaired, Gu Jiu plans to move into the palace after spring.

She leaned lazily on the soft bed, unable to raise her spirits.

Liu Zhao deliberately ended the court meeting early, left the government affairs to the courtiers, and rushed back to the Qin Palace to relieve her.

Uncomfortable? Do you want to go to Xiaozhu Hot Spring? Liu Zhao asked.

Gu Jiu shook his head, I don't feel motivated to do anything now.

Is it uncomfortable? Liu Zhao was a little worried.

Gu Jiu nodded, then shook his head again, The evil in people's hearts makes people shudder. I always heard people say that my grandfather, the old man of the Su family, is a very powerful person. Then why did he betroth my mother to Gu Zhili?

Liu Zhao thought for a while and said, Master of the Hou's Mansion, handsome in appearance, courteous in front of others, well-mannered in advance and retreat, and good at reading. Taking the imperial examination as a son of the Hou's Mansion, rather than blindly relying on Zumeng, is regarded as an honor among the nobles. A clean stream. He has no bad habits, and he must be highly regarded in the market. Such a 'young talent', Mr. Su is not surprised.

Gu Jiu nodded, What you said makes sense. Although I look down on him and hate him, objectively speaking, when he was young, his own conditions were really good, and he must be the son-in-law in the eyes of many people. Participating in the imperial examination as a child, and even passing the test results, you can get a wave of goodwill and set up a positive personality. Mr. Su likes motivated people, so it is not surprising that he betrothed his daughter to him. But who would have thought that the appearance is positive people, but their hearts are so dark and dirty.

Liu Zhao thought about it, If you can't make a decision, I will be the villain.

Gu Jiu shook his head, I can make a decision, and I can also be a villain. Even if I am disgusted by him, I won't be able to recover for a while. My brother is more serious than me, self-doubt, denial, spurn, disgust... Anyway, he just feels that I don't deserve to have all of this, he feels that he has inherited Gu Zhili's selfishness and his dark side, he is very struggling and contradictory. I plan to let him go to the south to experience in advance, and hope he can come out of it as soon as possible.

Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows, My brother-in-law is still too fragile to think about such a thing.

Gu Jiu gave Liu Zhao a white look, Do you think everyone is just like you, with steel and iron bones?

Liu Zhao laughed, Actually, my heart is soft.

Everyone says you have a hard heart, but you say your heart is soft, I'm afraid no one will believe you. Gu Jiu teased him.

Liu Zhao laughed, Are you in a better mood now?

Gu Jiu leaned in his arms, It's okay, it's not that uncomfortable. I just feel unworthy for my mother, but if she has a good body, she will be able to make a comeback with her intelligence, so she won't die at the hands of that dirty little man Gu Zhili inside.

Such a smart woman died at the hands of a villain, it is pitiful and pitiful.

Gu Jiu has no feelings for Su Shi, which does not prevent her from feeling worthless, unwilling, and dissatisfied for Su Shi.

Time also, fate also!

...

Two days later, news of the funeral came from the Gu residence.

Xie is dead!

Passed away in the middle of the night and was not found until morning.

She committed suicide by burning charcoal, disguised as an accident.

People who know the inside story know that she committed suicide.

Those who don't know the inside story, just take it as an accident.

When Mrs. Xie passed away, the Gu family had to keep their filial piety.

Gu Ting refused, not even tying a hemp rope around his body. Not to mention wearing filial piety.

He doesn't care what the outside world thinks of him or evaluates him. He went his own way without wavering.

These days, what happened in the mansion, the Gu family, such as the Hou's mansion, such as the uncle's family, more or less heard some rumors.

Gu Jiu quietly went back to Uncle Taiping's mansion, but she couldn't hide it from Hou's mansion and his uncle's family.

After all, the three houses are next to each other, Gu Jiu's carriage going in and out of the Earl's Mansion will inevitably be seen.

Regarding Gu Ting's insistence on refusing to wear filial piety and Gu Zhili never showing up, the two families have their own guesses.

Uncle Gu Zhiming patted Gu Ting on the shoulder, Have you thought it through?

In name, Mrs. Xie is the mistress, and Gu Ting is the stepson, so they should be filial for Mrs. Xie.

Gu Ting looked resolute, Thank you uncle for your concern, I've thought it through.

Even if he would bear all kinds of infamy, be impeached by the censor, be looked down upon by others, or even affect his career, he didn't care.

He has become an unfilial son, and now, he just wants to stick to a little purity in his heart.

He couldn't kill his father to avenge his mother, and he couldn't force him to keep his filial piety for the Xie family.

Uncle Gu Zhiming sighed, It's good that you think it over clearly, as elders we won't force you.

After a pause, he said with emotion: I'm old, and my brain is not working well. I don't know when I will be gone. You are well, and the Gu family is well. Even if the people are gone tomorrow, the old man can rest in peace.

Gu Ting felt uncomfortable, Uncle, take care of your health and live a long life.

Uncle Gu Zhiming shook his head again and again, A lifetime of military force, there is no such thing as good health. I can live longer than most of the robes, and I have no regrets. You, take care of yourself, and the road ahead will be slow and smooth. Play it safe.

Thank you for your teaching, Uncle.

Have you notified Gu Cheng and them?

I wrote the letter and sent it. Sanhe Express said that the roads are difficult to travel in winter, and most of the river is frozen. It is estimated that it will take more than half a month before the letter can be delivered to them. When they come back, they will get the first month. Once it's over, put the coffin in the family temple and let someone guard it. Wait for Gu Cheng and the others to come back, and then make plans.

That's fine! She should be buried by her own son.

Uncle Gu Zhiming has no objection to Gu Ting's arrangement.

Then, he asked in a low voice, Is there any indication from the palace?

Gu Ting shook his head.

Mrs. Xie is dead, how could my sister express that.

Illegal?

Should the empress set an example for the world and honor her elders?

Ha ha!

The younger sister's will is the rule.

She doesn't need to set an example for anyone, she just needs to be herself and follow her inner thoughts.

Mrs. Xie is not entitled to the performance of his sister, nor is he entitled to his respect.

Since there is no indication from the palace, this funeral cannot be a major event. Keep everything simple! Uncle Gu Zhiming was straightforward.

The servants reported and thanked the family for coming to express their condolences.

Gu Ting didn't hesitate at all, Get out! Don't allow the Xie family to step into the gate of the Gu family! If the Xie family dares to make trouble, report it to the police and arrest them.

The servants took orders and left.

Uncle Gu Zhiming persuaded, It's a bit unreasonable to do this. The Xie family condolences. It's really nothing if you let them in.

I think they're disgusting. Gu Ting said coldly.

If the culprit Xie Mao hadn't died, what he had to do would be more than simply driving people out.

Uncle, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I know the consequences of doing so, and I can bear it.
