The farmer has a mall

Chapter 343 Aunt Qiu's Struggle
No matter which of the mother and son bought the arsenic, it would have a direct connection with the West Courtyard, even if Aunt Qiu wanted to deny it.

Gu Yaohei's face was sombre, and he called his men to go to the nearby pharmacy to inquire.

Aunt Qiu's face was already pale, and Nanny Ding also knelt down on the ground.

"Even if it is found out that the person in the pharmacy is from the west courtyard, it may be at the instigation of Nanny Ding." Aunt Qiu took a deep breath and said.

"Princess, don't forget, she has been in my west courtyard for decades, and she knows all the servants in the courtyard, who knows if there are her accomplices among them."

"Besides, Nanny Ding has always been in touch with that little beggar. She is the most motivated. You can't pin this matter on me. When I found out about this, I immediately drove that beggar away. Understand."

Aunt Qiu insisted that it was Nanny Ding who did it, and she firmly wanted to blame her.

Gu Nanyan was not in a hurry, she nodded slightly and said, "What you said makes sense."

After finishing speaking, he got up and took the pen and paper from Gu Yao's desk, and threw it in front of Nanny Ding.

"Come on, write a few words for us to see."

Nanny Ding looked at her dully: "Write, write what?"

"Just write 'It's safe, don't worry'." She said coldly.

Aunt Qiu froze, her fingertips dug into the flesh.

"Why, can't write?" Gu Nanyan curled the corner of her mouth, and looked at Ding Momo who couldn't even hold a pen in leisure time.

She had been checked a long time ago, and this Nanny Ding was indeed from a serious farming family and could not read a single word.

Let alone writing, she couldn't even read.

Gu Yao saw that she was holding the brush tightly with ten fingers and didn't move for a while, and said to Aunt Qiu with a serious face: "You said before that she always sends messages to people in the form of letters, but she can't even write? "

Aunt Qiu gritted her teeth and said, "Perhaps it is..."

"Maybe it was written by someone else?" Gu Nanyan sneered coldly, before she could finish her sentence, she said it for her.

"It's too late to hide this kind of thing. How stupid a person would find someone to write it for her. I'm afraid it won't be exposed, right?"

She shook her head, expressing her admiration for her persistent behavior of trying to frame Nanny Ding until now.

Not to mention who she contacted, but how could they find such a servant girl as an internal response because they had a big plan.

Gu Yao's face was very ugly. Although Aunt Qiu kept denying it, all doubts were on her.

"What else can you say?" He asked in a deep tone.

Aunt Qiu lowered her eyes and said nothing, she sighed dejectedly after a long while, she seemed to have aged a lot for a while, and her voice became more vicissitudes.

She closed her eyes, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were slightly red.

"The concubine admits that the person who contacted the little beggar was indeed the concubine, and the note was also given by the concubine to Nanny Ding."

"But there is nothing in it that reveals the news of the general's mansion. The concubine is just being greedy and being used by others."

She wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said with red eyes: "In the past 30 years, my concubine is not as desireless as she looks on the outside. a bright future."

"However, he doesn't live up to expectations. His knowledge is not as good as that of the uncle, and his martial arts is not as good as that of the second master. Even Yun Ge's kid has become a captain, but he is an uncle at the same level as him."

Gu Yao snorted: "Are you blaming me for not planning well for Zhengkang?"

Aunt Qiu shook her head slowly: "I don't mean to blame you. I also know that you have been serving as a general for many years. You have always acted impartially and never sought personal gain. The children also climbed up by their own abilities."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Gu Nanyan: "You know, you know, now besides the general, the East Court has Sister Nan as a backer, not to mention the uncle and the second master, even Yunge Yunze must have a bright future, when the time comes Wouldn't my son become the biggest joke in the General's Mansion!"

"So you colluded with outsiders to plan the General's Mansion, trying to pull everyone down, so that Zhengkang wouldn't appear to be useless?" Gu Yao said coldly.

"Of course not!" Aunt Qiu denied.

"A few days after the general left Beijing, the wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials came to visit and said that their master could find a good job for Zhengkang, but the premise was that the concubine must pass on to him every detail of what happened every day in the general's mansion. "

She smiled wryly and shook her head.

She didn't take her words seriously, so she agreed casually.

Unexpectedly, within a few days, Gu Zhengkang was transferred to the Ministry of Officials to be the right servant, and only then did he realize that what the lady said was true.

But even so, she didn't feel anything.

After all, she has always lived in a corner, and the news she gets is all trivial things, and it doesn't matter if it spreads out, so she has been doing what she promised.

Before Gu Yao returned to Beijing, Mrs. Shangshu came to the door again.

She said that Gu Zhengkang is now a servant, but she, as a mother, has an embarrassing position in the mansion, and it will be detrimental to his official career to spread the word.

Let her find a way to gain a firm foothold in the mansion, and give her advice.

The reputation of an official is very important, and she also knew this, so after thinking about it for a few days, she decided to follow Mrs. Shangshu's words.

Nanny Ding was indeed driven to Zhuangzi by her before, but it was not because she found out that she was in collusion with outsiders.

It was Aunt Qiu who discovered that the old lady's poisoning was indeed related to her!
Moreover, Nanny Ding's move was entirely because she hated Aunt Qiu for not paying attention to her, and demoted her from a nanny next to her master to an ordinary shopping woman. Once her status plummeted, she wanted to frame her for revenge.

And this is in the hands of Aunt Mid-Autumn Festival.

She found Nanny Ding and used her son as a threat to make her obey.

After that, he ordered Nanny Ding to deliberately lead the old lady's poisoning to her, making everyone suspicious.

After he was punished, the "truth" broke out, proving that this matter was planned by Madam Ding, so that Gu Yao would feel guilty and compensate himself, so as to improve his status in the mansion.

Aunt Qiu wiped her tears again, "This concubine is indeed guilty, and it is irrefutable, but the poison of the old lady is indeed not from my concubine."

Gu Yao is a straightforward soldier, and he doesn't have so many twists and turns in his heart. At this moment, after hearing Aunt Qiu's words, his mind is like a pot of mud, and he doesn't know whether to believe her or not.

So he looked in the direction of his granddaughter.

But she was seen sitting on the chair stretched out, her head was leaning on the back of the chair, her eyes were closed tightly, as if she had fallen asleep.

Gu Yao: "..."

"Sister Nan..." he called softly.

Seeing her opening her eyes in a daze, with a sleepy look, Gu Yao couldn't laugh or cry.

"If you're tired, go back to sleep. It's very cold in the study, so don't catch a cold."

After all, the granddaughter is still young, and it is normal to feel a lot when she is growing up.

Gu Nanyan stretched and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"Finished?" She looked in Aunt Qiu's direction and asked.

Seeing Gu Yao nodding helplessly, she nodded and said, "Although I don't know what she just said, it's not important."

After finishing speaking, she walked up to Aunt Qiu: "It's nothing more than sophistry, I really don't want to listen."

Aunt Qiu lowered her head, covering the dark light in her eyes.

"Everything my concubine said is true, and what's more, no matter what the result is, we in the West Court will have no face to stay in the mansion, so what's the point of continuing to argue?"

"Why not, you still have to cover for your accomplices." Gu Nanyan said leisurely.

"The princess probably didn't hear what I said just now. I have already told the general what happened. The accomplice you are talking about is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials..."

"Tch." Gu Nanyan sneered.

"I found a good shield."

Yu Weisheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is a member of the Queen Mother's faction, and has always wanted to help the Queen Mother control the general's mansion, and because of this, he transferred Gu Zhengkang to the Ministry of Officials.

According to her, it makes sense.

It's a pity that Gu Nanyan never believed in Aunt Qiu from the beginning to the end, so naturally she didn't believe what she said.

It's just that this old woman dragged her own son into the water in order to protect others, shouldn't she be praised for killing her relatives righteously?
