Inside the Shengmei Pavilion, the courtyard door is closed.
There was a pile of candies spread out on the table, all of which were picked up by Xinxin. Shu Huan was frowning and inspecting carefully, and swept away the ones that were not marked on them, but he was dizzy from exhaustion, and finally he was helpless: "Without these candies no problem."
Gu Xiran lowered his head and pondered for a while, peeled off a piece of candy, and peeled it open with a knife. Sure enough, there were no small black pills in it, so he nodded unconsciously and said, "All of them have been replaced."
Shu Huan slumped on the chair, drank a cup of tea, and then said after a while: "Swapping candies, only Gu Xuan can do this, I asked Qiao Yun to inquire about it, and Xiaosan didn't go to Luoxia Courtyard these days Go, before the incident happened yesterday, only Gu Xuan had been there, she said she was looking for tricks from Mrs Fang, gossiped a few words, and left without sitting down, don't ask questions today, we all saw her run away twice."
"Yeah." Gu Xiran nodded and said: "She removes the wrapped candies, but it's easy to mix in the problematic candies, but it's troublesome to pick them out one by one. If we drop the bag of candy and return it, if we go later, we won’t be able to find anything.”
Shu Huan pursed his lips, but he was still at a loss when he found out.
When he came back just now, he said that the results of the poisoned sugar test showed that the horse that ate the sugar would suddenly go mad after a quarter of an hour, but after going mad, it just lost its strength and would not die, and there was no sign of poisoning.
A deliberate murder was arranged as an accident of falling from a horse without any clues.
Leaving aside the fact that the murderer needs to know Gu Xitian's usual life habits like the back of his hand, knowing that he likes to feed his horses with candy, the poison wrapped in the candy itself has complex ingredients, and it is not an ordinary thing that is easy to get. It will definitely take a long time to plan. And arrangements are not something that can be done on the spur of the moment.
So, what kind of motivation is supporting this long-term premeditated...
"We don't know Gu Xuan's motive." Shu Huan shook his head and said, "It is impossible to judge whether she is the real murderer or an accomplice, and Xiaosan's motive is only speculation without any actual evidence. I don’t know anything either. What are you going to do next?”
Gu Xiran replied smoothly: "Sleep"
Shu Huan said blackly: "Gu Xiran, don't be joking"
Gu Xiran raised the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "How can I have the energy to deal with what happens after I don't get enough sleep? As you said, there is not enough evidence, we can only reason, and the murderer may not admit it. Besides, if this matter is really exposed, the Gu family will have to deal with it." It's time to be in complete chaos. When I learn that an accident turned into a brother-in-law fight, the master will probably die of anger. In my opinion, let's not wade in this muddy water. Be careful, survive this period, and then try to move Get out and stay away from these sinister intrigues."
This was his original intention, to keep his mind off his own business as much as possible, besides, no matter who the real culprit is, the motive for killing always grows out of the distorted interpersonal relationship of the Gu family, there is a cause and effect, the old lady and Gu Da don't need to shout Qu, as for him and Shu Huan, even if they wanted to intervene, they would be powerless.
Shu Huan also felt tired after he said that.
That's right, one death is enough, at least the Gu family can still get along peacefully, if this matter is exposed, even the superficial peace can't be maintained, she wouldn't be surprised if two more people died, Others will also be more suspicious of each other, and it is estimated that this family will really be destroyed.
Just be careful not to get hurt, and leave as soon as possible
The two were silent for a while, neither of them had any interest in talking anymore, they just put away the poisoned candies properly, washed their faces hastily, relieved their fatigue a bit, and asked the servant girl to bring food to eat.
This extremely tiring and chaotic day finally passed without any aftermath.
When I get up early the next day, according to the rules, Shu Huan is going to pay respects to the elders, especially in this extraordinary period, you can't teach people to find fault and vent all the grief of losing children and grandchildren on her, but before leaving, she He asked Gu Xiran, "Do you want to go together?"
Gu Xiran also got up early today, and was flipping through some unread fragrance books on the bookshelf. Hearing this, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, if they ask, just say that I was traveling in the middle of the night and was tired. Cold, sick."
At such a time, of course, pretending to be sick is the safest way to keep a low profile. Don't worry about the two elders seeing that he is in better health, so they will let him take over the Gu family's business with a twitch of their brains.
Everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty.
Shu Huan understood this truth after thinking about it for a while, smiled slightly, and went with the good time and beautiful scenery.
None of them are high-spirited people who like to push out the money delivered to their door, but they know that what is more important than money is to be able to live freely and comfortably.
In Songhe Hall, there was still a room full of people, and only early in the morning, a manager came to report, saying that he had found a good board, and asked the master to take a look outside the yard.
Gu Da was already seriously ill. Hearing this, he still propped up his sick body and was helped out. He happened to pass by Shu Huan, but he turned a deaf ear to her stopping and asking for safety, and didn't even glance at her.
Shu Huan laughed at himself, but didn't care, and waited for him to go far away, then entered the main hall, greeted Ann politely, and spoke according to Gu Xiran's order, seeing the old lady nodded and said nothing, she stood by the side Pretend to be a statue.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lin looked at her twice more, and after the old matriarch finished talking about the business that he hadn't finished talking about before, he suddenly asked: "I heard that you and Xiran suspected that there was another reason for Xitian's death. Any clues?"
Shu Huan's heart skipped a beat, and before he could figure out how to deal with it, he heard a "bang".
The old matriarch threw the tea bowl at Lin's feet, and angrily scolded her: "What are you planning behind your back on weekdays, old lady, I always keep my eyes open and close my eyes, always thinking about family and everything, so I can get away with it It's over, but now the master is so sick, Xitian's daughter-in-law is pregnant, and she's lying on the bed half dead, you, the wife of the family, don't try your best to take care of the affairs for Xitian, so that He left with peace of mind, and instead made a fuss about it, do you still take my old lady seriously?"
The words were so harsh that the old matriarch was really angry, and the maids hurried forward to rub her chest and beat her back in a panic.
Lin originally wanted to tease her to attract the old matriarch to ask Shu Huan about the investigation process. She watched the fire from the other side, but she did not expect that the majesty, who was always pleasant to her, would get angry at her and speak very seriously. It was no small matter, she hurriedly stood up, bowed her head and knelt down on the ground: "Taijun, please calm down, my wife just heard that Xiran and the others are investigating this matter, and worried that there is something hidden in it, teaching Xitian to wrong Jiuquan, she accidentally asked a question in a moment of worry." , my daughter-in-law swears, I really have no other thoughts, and I dare not have other thoughts."
As she spoke, she wept again: "The majesty knows his wife. Although the daughter-in-law has been in the house for many years, although she is a bit stupid and has not been able to solve any troubles for the majesty and the master, she has never dared to make trouble, let alone the daughter-in-law. Now that you have a child under your knees and you can depend on you for the rest of your life, how can you be dissatisfied if you want to do things that don't care about your status?"
The old matriarch lost her anger a little, stared at her for a while, and then said: "You know that something happened to Xitian, which almost killed your master. At this juncture, you must never let him worry about anything else. , if you have anything to say, wait a while, and come and tell me after the funeral is over."
These words have been made very clear, the old matriarch even glanced at Shu Huan incidentally, with a warning in his eyes, which made her tremble: It is right to not care about other things, otherwise the old matriarch just smashed the tea bowl. It's not Lin's, but her.
It's just that I want to suppress the matter here, but I don't know that paper can't contain fire in the end.
Mrs. Lin just agreed: "Daughter-in-law will remember what the Majesty said, and don't dare to say a word."
Suddenly there was a gloomy voice from outside the door: "What is it that you don't dare to say? You'd better say it right now."
As soon as Shu Huan heard the voice, he knew that things couldn't get out of the way, and when he looked up again, he saw Gu Da standing outside holding the door frame, his face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes flashed with ruthlessness, as if he could spray at any time. Come out on fire.
