Jia Min's Counterattack

"Speaking of which, this matter is indeed abnormal! The Xue family said it was a family of merchants, but since the old man has been very strict with his descendants, he has always wanted to lead the Xue family to the direction of the aristocratic family. It turned out that Xue Er It is said that the master has a good reputation in Jinling, and they say that he has a refined style, and he is also called Xiao Zhuge!" Yao Huang said.

"Since the Xiao Wang incident happened, the Xue family demoted their wives to be concubines, and their reputation almost fell to the bottom. For so many years, Mrs. Xue has been trying to save face, but the Xue family has been in constant trouble. In the first few years, Mr. Xue The old man's family was making a fuss about splitting up the family. In a fit of anger, the old man Xue distributed some bad property to the big house, and kicked the big house and his wife out of the house. Later, the Xue family's fleet encountered pirates frequently, and even though it was settled, But it also cost a lot of money." Jia Min sneered after finishing speaking, thinking of the fact that the Xue family colluded with pirates to attack the Lin family's fleet.

"The current head of the Xue family is Mr. Xue Er. Without the old man on top of him, he can do whatever he wants. He has no scruples at all. He can even do things like getting pregnant during the filial piety, and he is still elegant. Well, it's ruining the family style!" Wan Memo said contemptuously.

"If Second Master Xue was really a dude, that's fine. I just don't understand whether his original shrewdness was all boasted by Old Master Xue?" Jia Min has always been entangled in the change of Second Master Xue.

"Madam, don't worry about it anymore, you will probably know the truth when Qi Lan comes back!" Wan Memo comforted.

"I always feel like I'm forgetting something and it makes me very uneasy!"

"If my wife is worried, it's better to have someone keep an eye on the Xue family!"

"The life of these years has been so smooth that we have unknowingly relaxed the string in our hearts. If we have been paying attention to the movements of the Xue family, we will not be so passive like we are now!"

Wan Momo and Yao Huang looked at each other in blank dismay, and did not answer Jia Min's words. Some people and some things are not something they should know, and they will not touch them.

Within two days, Qi Lan came back and brought back the news that Jia Min desperately wanted to know.

"You mean Master Xue looks like a different person?" Jia Min asked in disbelief.

"That's right! More than a year ago, for some reason, the second master Xue suddenly started to treat Xiao Wang who had been out of favor for many years. At first, the servants of the Xue family thought that the second master Xue was because of the uncle of the Xue family. The eldest son of Mr. Xue Er, he must love him, and it is reasonable to love Xiao Wang's family. Let Xiao Wang move directly to live in the main courtyard, and began to be inseparable from Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang is also a clever person, hooking Master Xue to obey her. It was directly given to Mrs. Wang, which is an income of 10,000+ taels a year! Master Xue Er agreed without blinking an eye? Later, Mrs. Wang found out that she was pregnant, so Mr. Xue Er simply sent him The butler of the house was handed over to Xiao Wang, and his other two concubines made a fuss, but they were sold to a Chu Pavilion on the Qinhuai River by the second master Xue! Now in the Xue family, no one dares to offend Xiao Wang. Mrs. Wang, because everyone knows that offending Mrs. Wang is equivalent to offending Mr. Xue Er. Offending Mr. Mr. Xue may have a way of life, but offending Mrs. Wang is a dead end."

"How did this happen? Have you found out the reason for Master Xue's sudden change?" Jia Min asked with raised eyebrows.

"No! The second master Xue is like a bewitched man, and now he is instigated by Xiao Wang to go to the Fang family in Yangzhou to retire after the filial piety period! The servants of the Xue family say that Xiao Wang is a vixen The reincarnated one used the demon method to confuse Master Xue Er!"

"Evil? Could it be poisoning?" Jia Min suddenly had a flash of inspiration. She thought of the beauty Gu that Lin Ruhai had fallen into that year. Those who are obsessed with the up and down Gu will obey the words of the Gu.Jia Min couldn't help shivering. If Lin Ruhai hadn't taken the elixir to relieve the poison in time, he would probably be the same as Master Xue now!Jia Min supported her chest, secretly rejoicing that her family was lucky to have the elixir gifted by the fairy by her side, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Master, you mean Master Xue Er has been poisoned? But what kind of poison can make people look sober, but in fact they are already fascinated?" Qi Lan has never heard of such a poison.

"Yes, it's a kind of Gu poison, called Beauty Gu, which can make people fall in love with those who fall under the Gu. This is a kind of Gu poison specially developed by the Miao family in Southwest China, which is specially used to deal with heartless people. There was once a The woman gave her husband this kind of poison, but the husband is lucky, a master gifted the medicine, and the poison was cured in time!"

"I didn't expect such a vicious thing to exist in the world! Does it mean that the master also knows who the person who cast the Gu is?"

"The person who made the poison must be Xiao Wang, but the person who raised the poison disappeared many years ago. Later, when my husband was interrogating Xia Lewu, I heard him mention that there was a woman who was good at poison in Zhao Qian's mansion. But when the King of Yan sent people to investigate, the woman disappeared out of thin air."

"In this world, there will be no one who disappears out of thin air. I'm afraid this woman is not only good at Gu poison, but also good at disguise!"

"It should be right, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why a living person disappeared out of thin air!"

"Then will this subordinate send someone to investigate Xue's house?"

"You send people to keep an eye on Xue's family, especially Xiao Wang, I want to know her every move! As for the woman who raises Gu, you don't need to worry about it. I will write a letter to my husband and you will go to Yangzhou yourself. There are many people involved in this matter, let the husband handle it!"

"Yes! The master should write a letter now, and the subordinates will rush to Yangzhou overnight!"

"Alright! You work hard, it's better not to delay this matter!"

Jia Min finished writing the letter, took an envelope to put the letter in, sealed it with wax, then handed the sealed letter to Qi Lan and said, "Before you leave, arrange someone to watch over Xue's house, If there is anything your husband needs you to do, you can stay there and help him!"

"Yes! This subordinate obeys! If you don't order this subordinate, you will leave!" Qi Lan saluted.

"Let's go! Be careful on the road! I have someone prepare some pastries for you, you can find Xiaoshu later!"

"Yes! Thank you, master!" Qi Lan left happily.
