When Ji Danqing was treating Gu Xiren's injuries in the room, the others sat in the hall and were speechless.
After the silence, there was nothing else to distract her mind. Thinking of the harmonious and harmonious home in the past, the old matriarch couldn't help but burst into tears, just because she was afraid of being seen, she lowered her head and covered herself. She wiped away her tears, but soon everyone present found her crying, and no one persuaded her, most of them quietly avoided going out.
It's okay to cry
At least you can vent out the pent-up depression in your heart, so that you don't get sick from depression. At this time, those who can't cry are the most miserable.
Walking into the yard, the sound of chanting Buddhist scriptures for the salvation of the dead sounded a little clearer. Shu Huan stood under the pine tree in a daze for a while, and saw that Lin's half of her face was swollen, leading two maids, Walked over from the outside full of exhaustion.
"Madam." Shu Huan had no choice but to bow slightly and greeted her.
Lin nodded: "Taijun is inside?"
This may sound like an unnecessary question, but Shu Huan knew that she was just asking if it was inconvenient to go in at this moment. If she happened to meet the old lady losing her temper, wouldn't she feel ashamed when she went in
Shu Huan smiled slightly, and said truthfully: "The prince is not in a good mood, but he probably cried enough for this meeting, and his wife just went in to persuade him, oh, yes, Xihe is also inside."
Lin's probe looked in, and through the half-closed hall door, she vaguely saw Gu Xihe wiping the old lady's tears with a handkerchief, she couldn't help frowning, and stroked her bruised cheek with her hand, After hesitating for a while, he took the servant girl in.
Gu Xiran looked at her back and shook his head, and said in a low voice: "If it wasn't for her, this matter might not have come to this point."
Shu Huan sighed, hateful people also have pitiful features, but as the main wife, she has no sense of security. If she wants to compete with her concubine for favor, she naturally thinks that her own son will also compete for property with the concubine's son in the future, so she early Helping by the side, but I didn't think that it would be a tragedy if I fought for it.
In fact, this matter was her own idea. Gu Xihe, as the eldest son, is also very favored by the old lady, and she doesn't need to worry about everything. She might as well be her wife in peace and order, and get angry when she has nothing to do. I'm jealous, because if something happens to Gu Da or the old lady at this moment, I'm afraid it will be her who will have the worst life.
Shu Huan thought about it, and couldn't help laughing at himself. This is the so-called fan of the authorities, right
After being silent for a while, she quietly asked Gu Xiran: "How did you know that the third child is innocent and not Gu Xuan's accomplice before the confrontation?"
Gu Xiran was looking up at the green sky, and after hearing the words, he pondered for a while and said, "First, we need to figure out how Gu Xuan poisoned the Fang family."
Shu Huan was a little surprised: "You know?"
"Yeah." Gu Xiran looked at her and smiled: "Don't you all think that the utensils might be poisoned? Is there no problem with the tea and water?"
"Impossible." Shu Huan blurted out, "The house uses well water. If you want to poison the water, how much arsenic would you have to put into it? What's more, if you do this, Fang is not the only one who gets poisoned."
Gu Xiran narrowed her eyes slightly: "Do you have to use well water to make tea?"
Shu Huan was taken aback, and just about to ask what kind of water can be used without well water, when he saw Ji Danqing coming out of it, he immediately remembered his habit of making tea with dew, and couldn't help but suddenly said: "Could it be that the Fang's made tea? Is it dew?"
This was just heard by Ji Danqing, he walked up to him unconsciously, and interjected: "You mean the arsenic was put in the dew?"
Gu Xiran smiled: "Exactly."
Ji Danqing immediately frowned, thought for a moment, and then suddenly said: "It's because when I was seeing a doctor for my grandma, one time the maid made Yulu tea, and I casually mentioned that if every morning, I gathered honeysuckle The dew on the flowers is used to make this Yulu tea, the tea will be more fragrant, and it will also have the effect of purifying the heart and timid fire."
"Honeysuckle flower" Shu Huan immediately remembered the big clump of honeysuckle he saw the day before yesterday.
"Then it can't be wrong." Gu Xiran nodded and continued, "Xiaoxuan obviously knows about my sister-in-law's habit of making tea. As long as you put arsenic on the honeysuckle, she will be poisoned without anyone noticing."
"Third Miss is too thoughtful." Ji Danqing shook his head and said with emotion, "I can only collect a small pot of dew a day, which is just enough for the eldest grandma to drink alone. I am not afraid that others will be poisoned after drinking the tea."
Shu Huan was still puzzled: "But what does this have to do with whether the third child is innocent?"
"You probably didn't pay attention." Gu Xiran said: "I saw it. Yesterday, when my sister-in-law collapsed in front of everyone and was carried into the house in a panic, the master called out to be careful, and the expression on the third child's face was very serious. Surprised, as if she didn't know that sister-in-law was pregnant."
Shu Huan lowered his eyes to think back, but he really had no memory of this matter, so he shook his head unconsciously. But I don't have any impressions. After thinking about it carefully, Gu Xiran's judgment is reasonable. The family is busy with the funeral, so naturally Fang's happy things will not be publicized. strangeness.
With this matter in mind, she finally understood after thinking about it: "By the way, the target of the arsenic is the sister-in-law, or the child in her womb. Naturally, it is necessary to know that she is pregnant..."
Gu Xiran nodded and said: "The dew was collected in the early morning, and my sister-in-law was poisoned during the day yesterday, so the specific time of poisoning was the night before, the night we just returned home."
"The third child only found out yesterday that his sister-in-law was happy. The time was not right, but Xiao Xuan found out the day before yesterday..." Shu Huan sighed, the person who poisoned him could only be Gu Xuan, who did not expect her to do it so quickly
Gu Xiran shook his head and sighed: "That's why I deduce that the third child is innocent. If the two of them conspire together, killing one is murder, and killing two is also murder. It makes no sense for Xiaoxuan not to tell him about sister-in-law Youxi, and to kill her twice. The method of poisoning is exactly the same, obviously it was done by the same person, they were all murders in alibi, they did everything cleanly, and there was no clue at all, if we hadn’t accidentally discovered some clues, it would have been impossible to guess the murderer.”
Ji Danqing was very apologetic when he heard the words: "This matter is also my fault. If I hadn't said that dew is used to make tea, maybe..."
"It's none of your business." Gu Xiran interrupted him, "Even if you didn't say that, if Xiaoxuan wants to poison her, there will naturally be other ways, and it's hard to guard against."
The truth of the matter was revealed bit by bit. Shu Huan didn't feel the excitement of solving the case at all, but felt terrible
How old is Gu Xuan
It's just that he was still a child when he was close to Ji's age, yet he had such a vicious heart, careful thinking and quick response, and unknowingly poisoned two people one after another, turning the entire Gu family upside down
Shu Huan smiled wryly, did the environment affect people? You have to know that when she was at Gu Xuan's age, her mind was full of things like comics and snacks, and she was extremely naive and ignorant.
