The eldest princess doesn't want to care about such nonsense, and she will definitely have to fight this time. Her son has been set up, and no one can tolerate it. Besides, what is Ji Yuying's background?
Even though Ji's family background is not high, how can Ji's family like such a cousin girl who depends on others?
Is Mrs. Ji reasonable? Tang was speechless for a long time.
To be honest, if her son were to marry such a thing, she would never agree.
Ji Yuying was in the back room, listening to what was going on in the next room. When she heard that Ji Mingxuan was suspicious of Mr. Gu, doubts arose in her heart.
At that time, she saw Ji Mingxuan lying on the ground, and she thought he was knocked unconscious. However, what happened after that was an accident.
But the man named Ji Mingxuan seemed unwilling to marry her, which made her anxious.
Ji Mingxuan was quite handsome, and his family was from an official family, so she naturally had to seize this opportunity.
Not long after, a servant brought in the woman who was guarding the door.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty! My servant has brought Mother Fan."
The eldest princess' eyes were as bright as fire, and her eyes sparkled when she stared at Fan's mother.
Fan's mother's body was shaking like chaff. She knew that she might have fallen into trouble today. Her restrained body was struggling, and her mouth was stuffed with a handkerchief and she couldn't speak, but she still made a "wuwu" sound.
Gu Chengyu was not in a hurry at the moment. Since Ji Mingxuan didn't see his face, he was naturally not afraid.
In fact, even if he watched it, so what? Can Ji Mingxuan be considered evidence if he is alone?
Therefore, Gu Chengyu looked at Fan's mother leisurely to see what Fan's mother would say.
In fact, he could also guess that it was just someone who had drugged her, otherwise the old lady guarding the door would not have been able to sleep so soundly.
I just don’t know who was behind the drugging, and whether that person achieved his goal. Maybe there are more than just this pair of men and women having a tryst today!
Qin Min signaled the mother-in-law on the side to pull off the veil from Fan's mother's mouth. As soon as Fan's mouth was touched, Fan's mother burst into tears.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty! This slave really deserves death! I don't know who the Thousand Sword Killer drugged this slave, but I don't know about it!"
Originally, Fan's mother didn't know what happened, but the mother-in-law who went to arrest her muttered a few words in front of her, and she guessed that something serious must have happened.
She is the gatekeeper, what can happen if she is caught? Considering that she fell asleep without knowing it just now, someone must have wandered into the yard.
All the guests here today are distinguished guests. If anyone offends the female family members, the masters will definitely not be able to spare her.
The eldest princess snorted coldly, admitting her mistake simply. However, the women in the backyard are all sneaky people who are used to putting on airs. Who knows if they have been bribed?
"Slap me!" the eldest princess called Mrs. Fan, who was so noisy that her brain hurt. She had no patience to listen to her howling anymore. Only by making her afraid could she calm down.
Gu Chengyu couldn't stand it. You slapped me before even interrogating me. No wonder people often say that wealthy people don't take the lives of their servants seriously.
If you serve your masters well, they will give you some dignity if they like you. If they are unhappy, it is common for them to sell you or kill you.
This was a common method used by aristocratic families in ancient times. Neither Tang nor Qin Min responded. Gu Chengyu would not object. This was a feudal dynasty and he had no ability to act independently.
"Pah! Pah!" The claps were heard endlessly, and Gu Chengyu had no choice but to look at the furnishings in the room.
Ji Yuying couldn't help but panic after hearing the slap. She got up and walked to the door of the house, leaned out a little and peeked secretly.
Gu Chengyu was scanning the furnishings in the room, his eyes passing by the curtain inside, and their eyes met in an instant.
He calmly looked away, and it turned out that it was really the woman hiding in the woods. He had some impression of this woman, because this woman's face was very beautiful, and it was difficult not to notice it.
However, this girl's rules are really bad. There are so many of them outside, and now that she has been sent to the inner room, she still dares to poke her head in.
Ji Yuying looked at the man standing outside. She guessed that this man was the Mr. Gu that Ji Mingxuan mentioned.
She was a little stunned when she saw this. She didn't expect there to be such a good-looking man in the world. It really opened her eyes.
She had heard about Mr. Gu when she came to the capital. It was rumored that Gu Chengyu was not only famous as the number one scholar in the capital, but also talented and handsome.
It's just that my background is a bit different, which is a pity.
"Okay!" The eldest princess saw that it was almost done and called a stop.
Gu Chengyu went to see Mrs. Fan again and was shocked.
I saw that the face had been swollen and shiny red, but there was no mercy at all! It seems that this mother Fan is not a useful person, but still, if she was needed, she would not be sent to guard the door.
Already.
"I'm asking you now, how did Miss Ji get to Hanlan Pavilion? But you let people in?"
How dare Fan's mother howl right now? Besides, her mouth was throbbing with pain, and she didn't have the strength to howl any more.
She didn't even dare to say anything about begging for mercy. She knew that she had already made her master angry and this matter could not be rectified.
Fan's mother quickly shook her head, her mouth was a little unclear, but she still endured the pain and tried to speak clearly.
"I don't know Miss Ji, so how can I let her in? What I just said is true. I don't know who gave me the medicine. After drinking the water in the teapot, I became more and more sleepy.
As for finally falling asleep."
Gu Chengyu made a rough guess about the whole thing. Maybe someone else wanted to have a tryst, so he attacked the woman who was guarding the door. As a result, Ji Yuying had the same thoughts as that person, and it happened that Ji Mingxuan also wanted to plot against him, and it was all in a hurry.
The children met together.
Ji Mingxuan and the two of them were unlucky. They were going to take the blame for this. The person who drugged the gatekeeper was very lucky and would definitely escape.
Gu Chengyu figured it out and no longer wanted to care about the next development. Now he would first clear his suspicions. He didn't have time to listen to the interrogation of servants in the eldest princess's house.
"Your Highness! I wonder if you can allow me to say a few words?"
The eldest princess was about to ask the old woman who had gone to find her, but she was interrupted by Gu Chengyu.
She was a little unhappy. Did Gu Chengyu understand the rules? However, it was not good to criticize Gu Chengyu's face too much. After all, he was an official of the imperial court.
"But it doesn't matter!"
"We can't all keep an eye on Mother Fan who is guarding the door. As Mother Fan said, if someone drugged her, it would be difficult to ask anything from Mother Fan."
Gu Chengyu's words made everyone present nodded.
"Now let me analyze the general situation of the matter and see if it is correct." 15
