"The doctor is here!"
"Doctor, show Yue'er quickly. Is Yue'er's injury serious?"
"Second wife, don't worry, the third girl's injury looks serious, but in fact she didn't hurt her bones, it's just a flesh injury."
"How could it not be serious? There was so much blood."
Mrs. Xie glared at the doctor, and even suspected that the doctor was a quack doctor. Someone wanted to harm Yue'er, so he deliberately invited a quack doctor over.
Dr. Zhu's beard trembled, "If the second wife doesn't trust me, then please find someone else."
"Doctor Zhu misunderstood. My wife was just too worried about the third girl's injury, so she spoke in a hurry."
Chunhe persuaded Dr. Zhu, and then came to persuade Mrs. Xie.
"Madam, don't worry. This Dr. Zhu is a well-known doctor in the capital, and he has excellent medical skills. He was an imperial physician before. The third girl's injury is serious. It's too late to change the doctor at this time, and it will also delay the third girl's injury."
Xie let out the breath that he had been holding in his heart all this time, and calmed down a bit.
"Doctor Zhu, I was too anxious just now, and I offended you, please forgive me. My child is beaten like this, I feel very uncomfortable!"
Dr. Zhu opened the medicine box and said, "Second wife, don't worry, the boarder is very measured. This injury looks serious, but it's actually a skin trauma. With good medicine, it will heal within a few days. "
"Then trouble Dr. Zhu." Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She stood by the bed and watched Doctor Zhu administer medicine to Gu Yue.
Gu Yue was still in a coma. When the wound medicine touched her skin, it seemed to irritate her, and she let out a groan.
"Yue'er, don't be afraid. Mother is by your side."
Xie held Gu Yue's hand with a nervous expression on his face.
While directing the servant girl to apply medicine to Gu Yue, Doctor Zhu said to Mrs. Xie, "The wound medicine is very effective, but it will irritate the skin. Second wife, don't worry."
Mrs. Xie nodded, "I know. Thank you, Dr. Zhu."
A little maid came to Mrs. Xie's side and whispered, "Madam, Master invites you to come over."
Xie's face darkened, and he said under his throat, "I see."
Xie looked at the unconscious Gu Yue, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.
She said to Chunhe: "Take care of Yue'er, I'll come as soon as I go."
Chun He replaced Xie Shi, held Gu Yue's hand, and looked at Xie Shi worriedly.
Xie didn't respond to Chunhe, she walked out of the bedroom to see Master Gu.
Mr. Gu sat on the chair with dignity, and when he heard footsteps, he looked towards Mrs. Xie.
The husband and wife looked at each other and didn't speak.
The atmosphere between the two seemed to have dropped to freezing point.
All the servants lowered their heads, it was terrible for the two masters to make such a fuss.
But don't make a fuss!
It was Master Gu who broke the silence first.
"You know very well why your husband wants to fight Yue'er."
Mrs. Xie nodded, with a forbearance, said: "The concubine knows that Yue'er did something wrong and should be punished. But the master is too cruel."
Master Gu snorted coldly, "I just beat her up, but she ruined Girl Zhen's marriage. In comparison, Miss San is more ruthless than you and me."
Xie shi trembled all over, she didn't know this.
But the destruction of a marriage is not as intuitive as being beaten with a board and bleeding.
Seeing Yue'er passed out covered in blood, her heart ached.
Xie covered her heart, and said: "Even if there is no Yue'er, Haixibo's house may not think of Zhen girl."
"No if."
Master Gu said very bluntly, "You have to bear the main responsibility for Yue'er becoming what she is today. It is because she knows that no matter how big a mistake she makes, you will protect her, so she dares to be so unscrupulous, self-righteous, and Cruel and merciless."
Xie shuddered, "Master blames me too."
Master Gu snorted coldly, "Not only Yue'er needs to reflect, but you also need to reflect. Today she can ruin Girl Zhen's marriage for a man. In the future, she can also ruin you and me for other reasons. Get rid of this house."
"No, it won't. Yue'er is not that bad. Master, you are prejudiced."
Master Gu said with a straight face, "If you continue to pamper her, one day you will regret it."
Xie burst into tears, "You all come to accuse me, so what should I do. Yue'er is my daughter, can I really just watch him and her suffer?"
"Are you going to continue pampering her? You are simply confused."
Master Gu looked disappointed.
Looking at Master Gu, Mrs. Xie suddenly made up her mind, "Master, tell Yue'er about marriage! When she gets married, she will naturally be sensible."
Master Gu frowned, "What are you thinking?"
Xie smiled bitterly, "For Yue'er, I beat and scolded and scolded. She promised right then and there that she would change and improve. But within a few days, she would go back to her old ways.
Master, I admit that I did not teach her well. Now, the concubine has nothing to do with her. She is not Shan'er, Shan'er is sensible and obedient.
Yue'er is too stubborn, and it happens that she is too old, so it's better to send her out early. "
"Have you figured it out?"
Mrs. Xie nodded, "I also want to stay with Yue'er for a few more years. But seeing how determined she is, if she continues to keep her, I'm afraid there will be even bigger disturbances."
Master Gu frowned. He intends to discipline Gu Yue well, but he doesn't have that much time.
Relying on Xie's discipline to discipline Gu Yue seems to be useless now.
It seems that the only way left is to marry Gu Yue off as soon as possible.
Master Gu approved of Xie's idea. Ask directly: "Who do you like?"
Xie covered her mouth and cried for a while before saying: "I am not familiar with the place in the capital, so I don't have any ideas. The marriage of Yue'er needs to be taken care of by the master."
After a pause, Mrs. Xie continued: "Yue'er was beaten, and this matter cannot be hidden from anyone. The concubine is worried that the big house and the next-door Hou's mansion will think wildly, which will affect Yue'er's life."
Master Gu said with a straight face, "Are you blaming me?"
"I dare not. I just tell the truth."
Mr. Gu said: "I will say hello to the Dafang and the neighboring Hou's mansion and explain the matter clearly."
Xie couldn't believe it, she thought Master Gu was going to tell the truth. Tell the truth, what will Gu Yue do
Mr. Gu snorted, very dissatisfied, "Is this officer so confused? This matter ends here with this officer. It is your mother's side, tell them to shut up."
Xie looked bewildered and puzzled.
At this time the butler Gu Quan came in, he first glanced at Mrs. Xie, then walked to Mr. Gu's side, leaned into Mr. Gu's ear and said: "Master, the son is waiting for you at the yamen."
"what?"
Mr. Gu's expression changed, "Which young master ordered?"
Gu Quan said cautiously: "Young Master Ning's Mansion Edict."
Mr. Gu's heart was shocked, "Why is he waiting for me at the Yamen? I have no contact with their palace."
Gu Quan said in a low voice: "Young Master Zhao said that he wants to report the crime."
Master Gu suddenly felt as if Mount Tai was overwhelmed, and his face became extremely ugly. The invisible pressure made him almost out of breath.
Since he took office as governor of the capital, the thing he was most worried about happened.
His greatest fear was getting involved in a case involving a royal family member.
No one can guarantee that there is no bigger conspiracy behind the case of the royal clan, and whether it will involve the increasingly fierce battle for succession.
Master Gu's brow was sweating, "If he wants to report the crime, he can go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Tingwei, or if it's not good enough, he can go to Shaofu, Xiuyiwei, or even Zhijinwu. A Yin Yamen in the capital city can't accommodate his statue." Big Buddha. You go and tell him that his case is not accepted by the judge."
Gu Quan was in a hurry, "Master, I have told Young Master Zhao everything that needs to be said. He said that the case happened in the capital, and he should report it to your lord. My lord, you can't shirk this case. If you offend Young Master Zhao, if he gets angry, What should I do if I go to Your Majesty and speak ill of my lord?"
Master Gu gritted his teeth, "These princes and grandsons are trying to force this official into a corner."
"My lord, it's better to go see Young Master Zhao first, and listen to what he has to say."
Master Gu nodded helplessly, "This is the only way to do it now."
A master and a servant muttered there, which naturally attracted Xie's attention.
Seeing Mr. Gu's face as if he was facing a big enemy, she became worried.
"Master, what's the matter?"
"Something happened in the yamen, I have to go there right away. We have a long-term plan for Yue'er's marriage."
"Master..."
Mr. Gu has already left the Purple Bamboo Courtyard with his servants.
Chunhe came to Xie's side, "Madam, the third girl has been prescribed medicine, and Doctor Zhu has also prescribed it."
Xie came back to her senses, "Is Yue'er's injury serious?"
"Doctor Zhu said, it's good to recuperate, and I can get out of bed and move around freely in a few days."
Xie breathed a sigh of relief.
Chunhe looked around, then leaned over, and whispered in Xie's ear: "I heard some news, I don't know if it's true or not."
"what news?"
Chunhe rolled her throat subconsciously, and then said: "It seems that the Xie family leaked the news and it reached the ears of the master."
"really?"
Chunhe nodded, "The servant dare not lie to the wife."
Mrs. Xie had a gloomy face, thinking in her heart, Mrs. Ma must be the scourge, and she must have slipped things up.
She knew that Ma Shi was not a good person.
It seems that she misunderstood Aunt Hu before.
Aunt Hu kept her promise and did not tell the matter.
Xie said with a straight face, "I know about this. You should pay attention to the situation in the mansion, and if you find someone talking nonsense, report it to me immediately."
"The servant obeys."
…
Mr. Gu hurried to the yamen to sign the deposit room.
Liu Zhao was facing the gate with his back, looking at a painting hanging on the wall.
"Ahem..."
Master Gu coughed lightly to remind Young Master Zhao.
When Liu Zhao heard the movement, he turned his head and looked at Master Gu modestly.
"Master Gu is finally here, I did not wait in vain."
Master Gu put on a serious face, walked into the signing room, and saluted Young Master Zhao with his hands clasped.
Liu Zhao returned a salute, "Master Gu, you are polite."
Mr. Gu took the main seat.
This is the Yin Yamen of the Capital Prefecture, and Mr. Gu is the biggest in the Yamen.
In order to maintain the official authority and the majesty of the court, except for the emperor, no matter who comes and how high his status is, Mr. Gu should insist on sitting in the main seat. It is absolutely impossible to give up the main position.
After Mr. Gu sat down, he said expressionlessly: "Young Master, please sit down."
Liu Zhao sat down on the guest seat.
Mr. Gu asked solemnly: "I heard that the young master wants to report the crime?"
"Exactly."
"What case?"
Mr. Gu is full of dissatisfaction with Liu Zhao in his heart.
As the emperor's grandson, why not go to the imperial court for a case, but to come to him, the little governor of the capital.
Even if he finds out the case, what can he do.
The case involved the palace, and found out that the case was serious, so he had to report it to the court and the emperor.
At that time, people from other yamen will take over the case.
In short, in Master Gu's opinion, Liu Zhao's going to the Yin Yamen of the capital to report the case is purely superfluous and a waste of time.
Liu Zhao said in a cool tone: "My son was eating in a restaurant today, and lost a piece of fish-shaped jade pendant. The jade pendant is a gift from my concubine, so I dare not ignore it. Lord Gu, please help me find the jade pendant."
Master Gu was surprised, "That's all?"
Liu Zhao nodded slightly, "That's the matter."
Mr. Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if he just found a jade pendant, it would be easy.
"I'm clear about this case, and I will do my best to get the jade pendant back."
Liu Zhao nodded slightly, "Thank you, Mr. Gu. For the details, my guard Zhao San will report them one by one. If you need my cooperation, please speak up."
"My son has a heart."
Mr. Gu just wanted to send Liu Zhao away as soon as possible, and quickly called someone to come over to register the case.
Liu Zhao's jade pendant fell into the Tongfu restaurant, and he said that the jade pendant was still hanging on his waist when he went to the restaurant for dinner. When he left the restaurant, he realized that the jade pendant was gone.
However, everyone in the restaurant denied seeing the jade pendant, and no one would admit to stealing the jade pendant.
Mr. Gu looked at the case registration, the case seemed very simple. If there are no accidents, it should be resolved soon.
After completing the registration of the case, Liu Zhao bid farewell and left the Yin Yamen of the capital.
Only then did Master Ma anxiously tell Master Gu, "My lord, it's not good."
"what happened?"
"Just now, I heard from the people below that this Tongfu restaurant has a strong background, and the backing behind it seems to be a certain palace."
Snapped!
Master Gu sat on the chair with his buttocks in his hands, sweating profusely.
He just knew that if the grandson came to report the case, how could the case be as simple as it seemed.
Sure enough, they used everyone in their yamen as swords.
Mr. Gu was terrified in his heart, if this involved the royal family fighting, it would be fatal.
Then, Gong Zizhao came to report the case in person, knowing that the case could not be solved by the small Yin Yamen of the capital, but he still had to bite the bullet and investigate.
Sure enough, the position of governor of the capital will be fatal.
The ex-Master Zhang is still locked up in Zhijinwu Prison. Lord Gu really doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor.
Master Gu wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, and asked, "Do you know which palace is behind Tongfu Restaurant?"
"I don't know for now, I will go to inquire after a while. My lord, do you want to investigate this case?"
Master Gu gritted his teeth, "Investigate, of course we have to investigate. Young Master Zhao came to the Yamen to report the case with great fanfare, how can I not investigate. I am afraid that the whole capital has already received the news of Young Master Zhao's report, and they are waiting to see what the official said. It's a joke. If I don't investigate the case clearly, I won't be able to explain it to my superiors."
"What the master said is true. Maybe in two days, people will be sent to the court, the palace, and the palace to inquire about the case."
Mr. Gu has already figured it out now, let's not care about the people and things involved behind this case. He only investigates the case and doesn't care about extra things.
Continue to check if you can, and stop in time if you can't.
Even if Gongzi Zhao and His Royal Highness Ning blamed him, he still had enough reasons to shirk.
Mr. Gu still had a fluke in his mind, and hoped that this was just a simple case.
Knowing that it is impossible, but still have even one out of ten thousand fantasies.
When Liu Zhao came out from the Yin Yamen of the capital, he clearly saw several waves of suspicious people.
Liu Zhao smiled contemptuously, and got into the carriage as if nothing had happened.
He looked very thin, and his face was abnormally pale, as if he had been ill for a long time.
Zhao San said, "My lord, be careful."
Liu Zhao said softly, "It doesn't matter."
After getting into the carriage, the guard Zhao San waited by his side.
"My lord, where are you going now?"
Liu Zhao lowered his head and smiled, "Go back to the palace."
"yes!"
Zhao San ordered the coachman to drive the car in the direction of the palace.
"My lord, do you still remember Miss Gu who met a few times in the northwest?"
Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows.
Zhao San continued: "This Mr. Gu is Miss Gu's father."
Liu Zhao asked blankly, "What do you want to say?"
"Subordinates are worried whether Master Gu will be implicated in this incident. After all, Ms. Gu has the grace to save your son's life."
Liu Zhao looked at Zhao San with cold eyes, Zhao San's cold sweat fell instantly, he hurriedly lowered his head, and pleaded guilty: "This subordinate deserves to die."
Liu Zhao said indifferently: "Whether the person sitting in that seat is Mr. Gu, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Li, or Mr. Wang, my master's plan will not change, remember?"
"The subordinate understands."
Liu Zhao looked out of the car window, seeing that he was about to arrive at the palace, he said: "However, what you said has some truths, my son will be careful, and try not to implicate Mr. Gu."
Zhao San breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Jiu didn't know at all, because of her, Master Gu escaped unharmed.
