The small courtyard was remote and dilapidated, with an old servant guarding the door.
The old servant came up to us: "Why are you here, madam?"
Mrs. Zhou said: "Is Master Jiu back?"
The old servant said: "I'm back, you wait, I will go and inform you."
After a while, the old servant came out and asked Mr. Zhou to come in: "Master Jiu, please come in."
Zhou opened the door and saw Gu Yilan in the dim light, wearing a black robe, standing in front of a row of shelves with his back to her, and said, "Is everything outside done?"
"It's settled, the Alins are moving back." Zhou's eyes passed over a row of iron cages on the shelf.
Many mice in the iron cage were either lying still, running around, biting the cage crazily, or tearing and biting each other.
The flesh and blood were blurred and the smell was unpleasant, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.
Gu Yilan, however, did not dislike it. She poked a rat that was biting its own kind with a stick and praised: "It's really awesome."
The mouse was disturbed, turned around and bit the stick, pulled and bit hard, and made a soft "click" sound, and the stick broke into two pieces.
Zhou's eyes sparkled: "So powerful?"
Gu Yilan threw the stick: "Yes, tell me about the situation outside."
Zhou calmed down and briefly explained what was going on outside: "...it seems that something happened to the old man. I don't know what Alin fed him. He went crazy and lost control. He always wanted to bite people and suck blood. He was beaten to the point where his bones were broken...
…”
"Alin's wife said that His Majesty will probably sentence my sister-in-law to Lingchi, and also said that no one related to this matter will escape."
"The second sister-in-law somehow insists that the people and events in the palace are related to me, and I was involved in instigating them."
Mrs. Zhou said sadly: "I'm afraid that Ah Lin's wife will hear this and really find out those things. Then..."
"What are you afraid of?" Gu Yilan smiled slightly after hearing what she said: "Find out what? Find out that we are doing her a favor and let the female officer directly testify against the sister-in-law?"
Mrs. Zhou smiled reluctantly, unable to hide her sadness: "I'm worried that the female officer will tell us too? After all..."
After all, she did do this with him.
Mu Fang forced her to deliver news to the palace, and she used some power in the palace to do this.
With Gu Yilan's help and design, the matter was successfully implemented.
Once the female official succeeded and Mu Yunhan was indeed harmed, they would just go with the flow and take advantage of the situation.
Once the female officer made a mistake, she would blame Mrs. Gu and eliminate her in one fell swoop.
Therefore, they are not innocent.
Gu Yilan smiled and said: "She won't, absolutely won't, and she won't even die. Don't worry."
Mrs. Zhou let out a sigh of relief: "This makes me feel relieved."
Gu Yilan said: "Is there anything else you can do, third sister-in-law?"
Mrs. Zhou said: "Just now, the second sister-in-law drove me away and left me alone to beg A-Lin's wife to release A-Yuan. A-Lin's wife did not refuse."
Gu Yilan said: "I understand."
Mrs. Zhou then stood up and said, "I'm leaving then. If anything happens, ask someone to come over and talk to me."
Gu Yilan nodded.
After Mr. Zhou left, he opened the cage, grabbed the fattest and most ferocious white rat, and let it twist and struggle in his palm.
"How much bigger can you get? How good can you become? We'll see, little one."
Gu Yilan took out a pill, put it to her nose and took a deep breath.
These are the pills Mu Yunhan gave him, and there are not many left.
