My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 166 Anyone who offends me must die

Gu Jinghui saw Gu Shiliu's serious expression and knew what he was investigating.

It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this Doctor Liu.

"What was found?"

Gu Shiliu said, "The man surnamed Liu is sending messages via carrier pigeon."

"Have you checked it out?"

Gu Shiliu said: "We didn't find where the pigeon was hiding before. He blew a whistle and the pigeon flew out. I sent people to chase it in the direction of the pigeon."

Gu Jinghui's face was solemn. The whole matter was becoming more and more complicated. Who was this Imperial Doctor Liu?
What are you thinking?
Gu Jinghui's cold and sharp features added a bit of hostility, and he asked, "What else did you find?"

Gu Shiliu said with a stiff face, "I see that he is very skilled in this. It is obvious that this is not the first time he has done this. I am afraid that he has been communicating with the outside world these days. If he does it again, we will definitely catch him red-handed."

Gu Jinghui said coldly: "These days, you have been in the mansion with the guards, but you didn't find anything wrong with him. This is a dereliction of duty."

If Qin Yuan had not discovered something was wrong, there would have been more and more patients in the mansion, and the servants would have become more and more desperate. They would not believe in Qin Yuan's methods and discipline, and with the instigation of some people with ulterior motives, the mansion would have been in chaos. It would be hard to say what the final situation would have been like.

These days, I'm afraid some people have started to say bad things about Qin Yuan behind her back.

All this was due to Gu Shiliu’s dereliction of duty.

Gu Shiliu lowered his head and said in frustration, "Master, please punish me."

Gu Jinghui said, “It was Madam who discovered that something was wrong with the Liu family. You must remember Madam’s kindness. If it weren’t for her, I’m afraid we would all have fallen into the hands of the Liu family. I won’t punish you today, but let you make up for your crime. You should be more careful in the future and don’t try to be clever. Cleverness can lead to mistakes.”

Gu Shiliu understood that Lord Gu was afraid that he would be weak and contract smallpox after being tortured, so he felt guilty and grateful, and promised again and again, "I will definitely keep a close eye on that Liu guy, and he won't try to do anything naughty again."

Gu Jinghui reminded, “You should also be careful about Doctor Li’s safety. If Liu wants to harm people, Doctor Li will be his stumbling block.”

Gu Shiliu nodded, "I'll remember this. Madam is really smart. She invited Doctor Li to the mansion. The man surnamed Liu won't dare to do anything. He will definitely report the information to the outside world in a hurry. We will definitely find out who is behind this."

Gu Jinghui clenched his teeth, the flesh on his cheeks hardened, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and he said coldly: "No matter who he is, anyone who offends me must die."

He even set his sights on his mother.

Everyone with the surname Liu and those behind him deserve to die.

Gu Shiliu was also filled with hatred, and said fiercely: "This Liu has evil intentions, it would not be too much to punish him by cutting off his flesh and removing his bones."

“Humph,” Gu Jinghui sneered, “Find out first, he’ll suffer later.”

On the second day, shouting was heard outside the mansion. Butler Han asked through the door and learned that it was Doctor Li from Renhe Hall who had come with a little medicine boy. He quickly had someone put down a ladder and let Doctor Li and the little medicine boy climb in.

Doctor Li and the little medicine boy not only came, but also brought several heavy bags.

Someone outside saw this and gathered around, shouting from a distance: "Didn't the Dingbei Marquis' Mansion be closed?"

Butler Han also shouted loudly: "Now there are only people entering our Dingbei Marquis Mansion but no one leaving. Isn't this sealing off the mansion? What is the purpose?" "That's true," these people could not say anything to refute.

Housekeeper Han's face turned pale. He couldn't say anything in front of Doctor Li and the little medicine boy, so he said to Gu Shiliu in private: "Shiliu, tell the Marquis that there are people outside watching our Marquis' Mansion, and I'm afraid they have bad intentions."

Gu Shiliu immediately became alert and asked, "Does Butler Han remember who they are?"

Steward Han took Gu Shiliu to the shade of the gatehouse next to the courtyard wall, hid in the shadows cast by the gatehouse, pointed out several people one by one, motioned Gu Shiliu to look carefully, and took him down again. After walking a few steps away, he whispered, "It's them. The last time the chief eunuch came to announce the decree, they were watching nearby. I remember it all. Look at their clothes. They don't look like people living nearby at all. They look like idlers. Look at the way they walk. Their lower bodies are steady and their internal strength is deep. Don't you think it's strange to see such people hanging around the gate of the mansion?"

Gu Shiliu muttered, "I don't know what Shishi is doing. Why didn't he tell us about these things?"

Butler Han said, "Eighteen mentioned a while ago that there were many spies at the gate of the mansion, watching the mansion, most of them were from the various princes' mansions. But now these people are definitely not just spies."

These people look like martial artists.

They are staring at the Marquis' Mansion, they must be up to some bad intentions.

Gu Shiliu shuddered, climbed up the wall again, looked carefully at the appearance of these people, memorized it in his mind, asked someone to draw it, and brought it to Gu Shiba who was guarding outside.

After Gu Jinghui learned about it, he said, “After you have investigated what needs to be investigated, you can deal with that Liu. Smallpox doesn’t recognize people, so it’s not surprising that there are multiple smallpox patients in the mansion.”

Gu Shiliu nodded. It was a good idea to give someone a taste of his own medicine.

……

Wutong Court.

Doctor Li and the little medicine boy were sitting in the hall to rest their sweat, and Qin Yuan was accompanying them.

When he was cooler, Doctor Li asked, "This time I can bring you all the treasures in my treasure chest. Is the thousand taels of silver you mentioned real?"

"It really couldn't be truer."

Qin Yuan replied to him, and without saying anything more, she ordered someone to quickly bring some food, and coaxed the little medicine boy softly, "Xiaodong, my sister's snacks are delicious, you can eat first, and then when the dishes come up, you can eat more. I have a small kitchen here, and in the future, just tell me what you want to eat. If it's inconvenient for me, you can tell Hongye or Cuiming."

Doctor Li said in dissatisfaction, "How come you still forgot about me? I was busy grinding medicine all day yesterday, and at night I was rubbing the pills by candlelight, and I was bottling them early in the morning. I am so tired."

Qin Yuan said: "Of course I remember all the kindness Uncle Li has shown me. How can I miss your kindness when I have Xiaodong? I just feel sorry for Xiaodong. He is only a little old. Why don't you bring him to the mansion?"

Xiaodong died of an epidemic at a young age in his previous life. Doctor Li brought him here again this time. Qin Yuan didn't know why, but she felt a little uncomfortable and just wanted to treat this child well.

Looking at Xiaodong, who was laughing so hard that his eyes were invisible, Doctor Li snorted and said, "People die for money, birds die for food. If I didn't come here for the one thousand taels of silver from the Marquis's Mansion, why would I come? If I come here, I will naturally use my unique skills. How can Xiaodong learn if he doesn't follow me?"

Qin Yuan said, "I know, I know. I have already issued you the banknote for your one thousand taels of silver. You don't even have to go to the accounting office. I will give it to you now."

Cuiming quickly handed over a silver note. Doctor Li took it and looked at it. It was indeed a note for one thousand taels of silver. He put it in his purse with a smile and put it in his arms. Then he said, "Tell me what to do with that Liu."
