The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

When Zhong Shiming, who was outside the cell door, heard Xu's shouting, his nervousness relaxed. If Xu refused to say anything, then their plan would have failed.

But he was very curious, how did Gu Deyin know that this matter involved King Yu?

As the favorite son of Emperor Dezong and the half-brother of the Prince Regent, King Yu could be said to have been a young man in bright clothes and angry horses for the first half of his life. However, with the death of his father and the rise of his elder brother, he gradually became a He became an idle prince who only knew how to enjoy himself.

No one in the civil or military circles of the dynasty thought that he would rebel. After all, the fiefdom in the south of the Yangtze River was too rich. The late emperor carefully selected such a fiefdom for his favorite son.

Moreover, before his death, Emperor Dezong made the late emperor swear that he would not take back King Yu's fief after he came to power, and that he would ensure that King Yu could continue to live a romantic life.

The late emperor agreed.

Therefore, even the current regent still abides by the oath of the late emperor and does not touch Jiangnan's finances.

In the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River, only a small part of the annual tax revenue is turned over to the national treasury.

So, where did Gu Deyin know that King Yu had the intention to rebel?

And he should not be short of money. Anyway, this matter still seems fishy?

He thought so and asked Gu Deyin who came out of the cell.

Gu Deyin thought for a moment, "I can only say that I guessed it from their subtle actions. Can Mr. Zhong trust it?"

When Zhong Shiming heard this, he was stunned. How could such a big event be possible based on mere speculation?

"Second Mistress Xu doesn't want to say it, but I won't force her to do so."

Gu Deyin smiled and was not unhappy with Zhong Shiming's words. After all, the story of rebirth was too shocking, and no one would believe her even if she told the truth.

Princess Yuanjia on the side said, "I believe what Sister Gu said. After all, I live in a wolf's den, so I can feel it more or less. Mr. Zhong, you are far away, so it is normal that you didn't guess."

Zhong Shiming didn't speak anymore. He couldn't argue with other people's mouths with one mouth.

Gu Deyin didn't care what Zhong Shiming thought, "Master Zhong, Mrs. Xu can now cooperate with our interrogation. Without further ado, please interrogate her first."

Zhong Shiming nodded, and then ordered someone to escort the real Mu family to the next cell, so that Xu's confession would fall into her ears. If she repeats the same pattern, Mu family's inner defenses will be broken without any attack. .

After all, according to what Gu Deyin said, the Mu family knew more and was more valuable than the Xu family in this rebellion case.

Naturally, he won't let it go. This is a good opportunity for him to get promoted.

"Princess, Second Mistress Xu, please wait outside for a moment. I'll be back as soon as I go."

Princess Yuanjia smiled and said, "Master Zhong, please."

Zhong Shiming then straightened his official uniform and walked directly into the cell where Xu was imprisoned.

Only then did Gu Deyin look at the man who spoke very much like the Mu family. He was actually a short man. He was really beyond appearances.

Seeing him, he came up to salute in embarrassment.

Gu Deyin said, "You are quite capable. I didn't expect that the small Shuntian government office would actually have hidden dragons and crouching tigers."

The short man chuckled.

"Secretary Xu's wife is overrated. This is what I do when I'm young. I'm born with it. As long as I hear the person speak, I can imitate him perfectly."

When Gu Deyin heard this, there was surprise in her eyes. It was really humiliating for such a person to be a small government official. She wanted to recruit him to work as an official, but she thought that she had a lot of things to do now, so she had to give up.

However, she still secretly remembered this person. If there was a chance to use him in the future, it would save herself a lot of trouble.

Princess Yuanjia also smiled and directly ordered people to reward the short man.

This made the short man so happy that he couldn't see anything. After saluting the two nobles in front of him, he retreated.

At this time, Mu was escorted over. She looked calm until she saw Gu Deyin in this prison, and her expression changed imperceptibly.

"Brother Yu, daughter-in-law, why are you here?"

Gu Deyin looked at Mu. Although his face was very calm, he was disgusted with her in his heart.

Just because of her ambition and selfishness, her father will die a violent death. How can there be such truth in the world?

"Why the third aunt is here, that's why I am here."

Hearing this, Mu's heart was still filled with turmoil. Gu Deyin must have known something.

She tried to calm down and felt the female jailer give her an unceremonious push on her back. She nodded to Gu Deyin, bent down and walked into the cell.

At this moment, Zhong Shiming's interrogation sound came from the side.

Then came Xu's answer.

"The first time I contacted the people sent by King Yu was through my brother-in-law and his wife, especially my third sibling Mu..."

When Mrs. Mu heard this, she suddenly looked shocked. Why did Mrs. Xu do all the tricks?

However, her mood was very stable and she calmed down instantly. These were all Xu's one-sided words, which she could deny categorically.

It wasn't until Xu revealed the exact location where she planned to murder Gu Deyin's father, Gu Jianghuai, that her expression changed drastically.

She wanted to shout to Xu to shut up, but the female jailer covered her mouth to prevent her from screaming.

Gu Deyin couldn't help clenching her fists at this moment, wanting to rush in and cut Xu and Mu into pieces.

Later, Xu revealed more secrets.

The man Gu Deyin met by chance at the back door of Xu's house that day and had a private meeting with Mu was his cousin. This man served in the military and happened to be located in the south of the Yangtze River, so he was in collusion with King Yu.

Gu Deyin frowned slightly and began to recall Mu's identity and background in his mind.

Mu's father's family background is not prominent, but her mother's family is from a wealthy family. This is a case of a rich family's daughter marrying a poor boy.

However, when it was Mu's turn to leave the court, she was not able to marry back to her mother's natal family. Instead, she married the third son of the Xu family who could not ascend the throne. It can be said that this marriage was appropriate.

But Mu must have other ideas.

This time she focused her gaze on Mu's eyes that were trying their best to calm down but could not.

She walked over slowly and said softly, "Third Aunt, do you have anything to say?"

After hearing this, the female jailer released her hand covering Mu's mouth.

Mu looked at Gu Deyin with complicated eyes, "I have nothing to say."

Gu Deyin nodded, "Since Third Aunt doesn't care about the life and death of her children, I have nothing to say."

When it came to her children, Mu's eyes flickered for a moment, and finally she said firmly, "If you want to accuse someone, why bother without words?"

Gu Deyin smiled meaningfully, "Everything you do will leave traces. I wonder if cousin Ling will worry about his family?"

Then, she seemed to suddenly realize.

"I heard that cousin Ling only has one son. It seems that this bloodline may be cut off. Third aunt expresses my condolences."

Mu's expression suddenly changed. At this time, she could no longer pretend to be calm, but looked at Gu Deyin with a gloomy face. (End of chapter)
