famous eldest daughter

346 Threat
It seemed that the latter was more likely. If she had not escaped from the carriage in time, she would have died.

Once she dies, the groom's confession and the jade pendant in his hand will point directly at Xiao Yu, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

It can be seen that this person's hatred for her is even stronger. Xiao Yu is just a sheep he is holding on to.

who can that be?

An answer vaguely came to Gu Yuqing's mind. As the face she had not seen for a long time gradually became clearer, she became more and more sure of her guess.

Gathering her mind, Gu Yuqing turned to look at the groom, and she said with a firm tone: "What kind of benefit did they give you, so that you have the courage to tell nonsense in front of me!"

The groom's legs shook, "Miss, what I said is true." On his honest and honest face, his eyes were evasive and he did not dare to look directly at Gu Yuqing, but he insisted and would not let go.

"Really?" Gu Yuqing sneered, leaned back slightly, and gave Jixiang a wink as if waiting to watch the show.

Ji Xiang understood, and immediately said quietly in a neither salty nor light tone: "Gu Defu, if I remember correctly, your wife should be Mrs. Chen who picks vegetables in the kitchen, right? Tell me, what will she do if you die? ?”

The groom immediately looked at Ji Xiang with horror in his eyes.

Ji Xiang continued to say creepy words calmly, "I guess she will take your baby and remarry! She is a child of the family, and if she wants to remarry, she must agree to it. When the time comes, the lady will kick her out of the house. Point her to a drunken gambler as her husband, and then he will sleep with your wife and beat your child, and you will have to use the money you have saved over the years to buy wine, eat and go to the gambling parlor."

The auspicious words seemed to have some magic power. The groom unconsciously continued to think along with the words. I don't know what he thought of, but he suddenly felt a tremor all over, with veins on his forehead popping out and his temples twitching.

Ji Xiang still spoke slowly and even smiled, "I remember that your eldest daughter is just thirteen now. She looks like a delicate flower. She is really tender. The young lady also said that she will be adopted as a servant girl in Tongyuan. Woolen cloth."

When the groom heard this, his eyes sparkled.

If you can enter Tongyuan as a servant girl, even if you don't reach the auspicious position, even if you are the lowest-ranking maid, you are still a hundred times better than those elsewhere.

Not to mention that the eldest lady is loose and often gives rewards, but the lack of work in Tongyuan alone has aroused the jealousy of many people, and they squeezed their heads and wanted to go in.

Although she is a slave, his daughter has been nurtured and nurtured by the two of them. How could he bear to let her do such rough and heavy work? He originally thought that after the eldest daughter and her hairpin ceremony were over, he would leave it to someone else. Go to Aunt Huang to beg for mercy and send your daughter to Tongyuan!
Unexpectedly, the eldest lady fell in love with her!
Watching the change in the groom's expression, Ji Xiang's lips curved into a smile, blocking his thoughts and continued: "Tsk, tsk, it's a pity. Once your wife remarries, and she ends up in the hands of your stepfather, with your daughter's beauty..."

Ji Xiang intentionally stopped mid-sentence, but what was behind her, the groom almost didn't have to think about it, the picture automatically appeared in his mind, his breath suddenly became heavy, his nose opened and relaxed, and the hand that had been hanging down was clenched into a fist. The veins on the back of my hands are simply terrifying.

No matter how honest, kind, cowardly or cowardly a person is, he still has a bottom line that he cares about.

And his bottom line is his family.

Ji Xiang seemed to think it was fun, he giggled, his eyes flashed, he turned his head to look directly at the groom, and said: "Oh, by the way, your youngest son is five years old this year, if he is sold to a teahouse as a boy, he will definitely be able to Buy it at a good price, and that huge sum of money is just enough for his stepfather to spend a lot of money at the gambling house!"

The groom could no longer bear such threats, and he roared, "That's enough!" He was completely different from his usual eggplant-like image.

Ji Xiang shook his head and smiled, "Enough? How could it be enough! Of course it's not enough!" However, she changed the subject, "Do you think that if those bad guys can take the young lady's life, everything will be fine for you?"

As he spoke, Ji Xiang's expression suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were as sharp as knives, directed at the groom, "With me and Ruyi here, Miss will definitely be fine. I'm afraid your wish will come true."

As soon as he said this, Gu Yuqing interjected: "Even if I am harmed by others as you wish, you must know how good Ji Xiang Ruyi's skills are. With their ability, I'm afraid they won't be able to rush back to the Hou Mansion with their lives." Difficult! When the time comes, do you think your wishful thinking can still be successful? "

Ji Xiang and Gu Yuqing's threatening words were like a thick wooden wedge driven straight into his chest, blocking all blood flow. His hands and feet became cold in an instant, and when his feet went soft, he collapsed like mud with a "plop" There, his face was ashen, his lips were trembling, and his whole person was lifeless.

Gu Yuqing didn't say anything, just drank tea one sip at a time, giving him time to think about it.

After a long time, the haggard and dead horseman finally took a long breath, exhaled slowly, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's the slave who lied. This jade pendant and the words just said were all taught to the slave by those people."

Gu Yuqing remained calm, just waiting for him to tell everything by himself.

"Miss, this servant didn't mean to betray, it's really..." As he said this, a hint of horror appeared in his ashen eyes, "They gave the slave poison, and if the slave didn't listen to them, they wouldn't give it to him. medicine."

Gu Yuqing was startled. She thought he was doing it for some gold, silver, and jewels, but she didn't expect that it was because of this!

This timid person is naturally afraid of death!
However, he cares more about the life and death of his family than his own death... Although he is not a good servant, he can be considered a good father and husband, and he does not ignore his wife and children for his own selfishness.

"When will they give you the antidote?" When he spoke again, Gu Yuqing's voice was less cold and aggressive than before, and she signaled Ruyi to hand him a cup of warm tea.

With the tea in his throat, the groom kowtowed to Gu Yuqing gratefully, "Miss, I'm such a ruthless servant, I'm sorry..." his voice was choked with sobs.

Gu Yuqing waved her hand, "Just answer my questions truthfully."

The groom nodded, wiped his tears and snot, and said: "They said that if the young lady dies, the servant will follow their instructions and go back to tell everyone in the Chinan Marquis Mansion that the young lady was killed by His Highness the Fourth Prince. As long as When word spread about this, they gave the antidote to their slaves.”

He paused briefly and then said: "If the young lady escapes, let the servant give this jade pendant to the young lady. There is no need to say anything else. The antidote will be given to the servant before the young lady leaves the ancestral home this afternoon. "

When Gu Yuqing heard this, he frowned immediately.
