A spoiled pet, the prime minister asks to divorce his wife

Chapter 212 Punishment
Gu Leiting just looked at Nan Jun unkindly.

"Ah~!"

Nan Jun seemed to be frightened, and jumped to the side of Gu Leiting: "Why are people dead here? I was scared to death."

As he spoke, he took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve to cover his eyes...

Gu Leiting: ...

The corners of Gu Qingzhi's mouth twitched, this person has to pretend to be a little more like it, did you just see a dead person here?Obviously, I came here on purpose, and I have seen everything that should be seen and what should not be seen.

Now you say scary, don't you think it's a bit late?

"Master Gu, I'm afraid~!" Nan Jun's eyes shot towards Gu Leiting innocently, saying I'm afraid, let alone a man's heart is numb, even Gu Qingzhi's woman's heart is numb after hearing it.

I wish I could hug the beauty, and said boldly, don't be afraid, I will protect you.

Gu Leiting suppressed the anger in his heart, "Since Miss Nanjun is afraid, stand far away."

"kindness."

Nan Junte replied obediently, and took another step in his direction, "Stand next to Master Gu, I won't be afraid~!"

The whining sound at the end of that sentence completely made Gu Qingzhi shudder, before Gu Leiting's anger broke out completely, he stood between the two of them with a stride, interjecting: "Father, are you reporting to the police?"

"Humph~!"

Gu Leiting snorted in displeasure, and gave Gu Qing a hard look. Don't bring all kinds of monsters and goblins home. It's good now. It's easier to ask gods than to send them away. After staying for several days, he didn't intend to leave.

If it were someone else, he wouldn't say anything if he stayed for a year or so, but he was half-heartedly unwilling to let this person live in the mansion again.

"Father, where are you going?" Gu Qingzhi felt that she was very innocent. Her father stared at her like this yesterday, and it was the same today.

She seemed to understand something.

Looking at the person still holding a brocade handkerchief, "Miss Nanjun, my father is gone, are you still afraid?"

Nan Jun didn't bother to act with her, and when he put away the brocade handkerchief, he instantly became elegant again, "Does Qingzhi think I'm afraid?"

Gu Qingzhi rolled her eyes speechlessly. Sure enough, a woman's heart is very fickle, and she didn't intend to talk nonsense to her. She lowered her head to look at the corpse on the ground, "Huh~!" At this glance, she seemed to notice something, and squatted beside Bai Xiuran. Time was soaked in water, and many places were white and swollen, but she still recognized who this person was.

"You know him?" Bai Xiuran asked, hearing the surprise in her mouth.

"It is." She said perfunctorily, then stood up abruptly, looked around at the servant standing next to her, "Who was the first to find him?"

"Me." A middle-aged man in a gray cloth gown on the far right replied tremblingly.

He has always been very timid, even afraid of killing a chicken, but now he suddenly saw a dead person, and his face is still pale to this day.

Gu Qingzhi glanced at him with a dazed expression, and probably couldn't ask anything, "Did anyone see him yesterday?" She pointed to the corpse on the ground, and continued to ask.

"I saw it this morning."

"I saw you this afternoon."

"I saw it at dinner..."

Someone answered one after another.

When Gu Qingzhi was about to ask some more questions, seeing Xu Youtu bringing the officials from the yamen over, he kept his mouth shut.

"Prime Minister." Tian Wu saluted Bai Xiuran.

"Yes." Bai Xiuran replied simply, continuing to study the corpse.

Seeing him not moving, Tian Wu realized that the matter was not simple, and it was not easy for someone to bring the body back to the Yamen, so he had to ask Wu Zuo to check first.

It took about a moment before Bai Xiuran stood up.

Gu Qingzhi had already left, but Nan Jun was still standing there, obviously she also found something suspicious.

"My lord, I should have drunk too much and accidentally fell into the well and drowned." Wu Zuo said, he checked the body and found no injuries on his body. Although he had soaked in the well water for a long time, he could still smell the smell of wine .

Listening to Wu Zuo's words, Tian Wu looked at Bai Xiuran calmly again, the man in white clothes like snow had sharp eyes...

"My lord, what do you think?" He asked respectfully.

Tian Wu has always admired Bai Xiuran. Although Bai Xiuran is the prime minister, he has handled several cases with Bai Xiuran. This young man has a kind of wisdom beyond ordinary people.

Bai Xiuran: "Take him back to the Yamen for further inspection."

"it is good."

Tian Wu asked the servants who followed him to carry the body away. Before leaving, he looked at the man standing still, "Master Prime Minister, why don't you go?"

"I'll come later."

Waiting for the crowd to disperse, Bai Xiuran looked in Nanjun's direction: "Miss Nanjun, what did you find?"

Nan Jun looked at the well platform, "I don't think I fell down by myself."

Bai Xiuran's eyes were even brighter, and the hero saw the same thing. He also thought that he did not fall, but he had to confirm one more thing to be sure that it was not an accident.

"Ah, I just saw Qingzhi's expression was wrong, does she know something?" Nan Jun said seemingly unintentionally.

Bai Xiuran was silent.

He could also see this, from the moment Qingzhi saw the dead person, her complexion began to change subtly, a little surprised, as if there was something else?
"Housekeeper Xu, do you know the drowned man?" Nan Jun changed the subject, and suddenly looked at the people not far from them. Everyone else dispersed, but he hadn't left yet.

"Yes, it's Ye Tao, a gardener in the mansion." Xu Youtu replied respectfully.

Nan Jun looked at the man who was cautious in everything without any trace. She had met several times, and every time he looked respectful and humble, with a gentle face, and said that he was a scholar. I'm afraid no one doubted it. .

"Does he usually drink like this?" Nan Jun asked again.

"I don't know about that, I just heard that his child is seriously ill and will die soon, and he's in a bad mood recently." Xu Youtu's answer was watertight.

Nan Jun smiled and didn't continue to ask, "Hey, life and death are impermanent."

She sighed and left gracefully.

Gu Qingzhi was very restless in her heart. Ever since she saw that the dead person was Ye Tao, she was not calm.

This person was made things difficult by the relatives of the Gu family, and she happened to help her. Later, she found out that this person was someone who had helped Wang Yinghua and the others a lot in the previous life.

According to the stories handed down, when her ancestor died, this person was alive and well.

But now, she is living instead of her ancestor, but this person is dead?

If a certain point in history changes, will many things change, but is this change good?or bad?

"Miss, where are you going?" Zhao Huailing chased after her. The master had just sent someone over and told her to take the lady back to the yard and not to run around.

"Go and see where Ye Tao was when he was alive." She remembered that Ye Tao's wife gave birth to a son, and after she came back, she never had a chance to meet him.

"Miss, I...I..." Zhao Huailing hesitated, as if she had something to say.

"Is something wrong?" Gu Qingzhi asked.

"Hmm." Zhao Huailing didn't know whether to say it, she was shocked when she heard that someone died in the mansion, and later heard that a gardener fell into a well and drowned, she felt inexplicably upset: "That person...he... Actually, I came to see Miss."

"What do you mean?" Gu Qingzhi stood still with a serious face.

It was rare for Zhao Huailing to see her lady so strict, her heart was beating so hard, she continued to stammer: "Just...the drowned man, he...he, came here last night to think...to find Miss, because it was too late, Miss fell asleep again I told him to come over early tomorrow...but unexpectedly, I heard that he died...he died this morning."

"You said he looked for me last night?" Gu Qingzhi grasped the key words sharply.

"Ah."

Gu Qingzhi's complexion is not only ugly, but also a sign of a storm. Wu Gang saw it clearly, and strode forward, keeping Zhao Huailing behind: "I also know this. He came here in the middle of the night in the rain. I was there when he went back."

Gu Qingzhi looked at the big man in front of him, and looked at Wu Gang with some deep meaning: "Since you want to be punished for her so much, let's go together. The Jingsi Hall will face the wall for three days." She dropped these words and left without looking back. .

Zhao Huailing suddenly burst into tears, is the miss angry?

She was right, it was already too late, if a servant from the mansion came to look for the lady rashly, everyone would stop her, otherwise, the people in the mansion would follow suit and come to look for the lady in the middle of the night, it would be too unruly.

"Brother Wu, am I wrong?" Zhao Huailing asked, sniffling. In fact, when she asked people to go back last night, Wu Gang was not there at all, but the moment Wu Gang protected her made her very warm.

Wu Gang placed his big hand on her head, and sighed in his heart, it couldn't be all her fault, but she should ask Gu Qingzhi what he meant.

It's unusual for a servant to come to Gu Qingzhi rashly. If she had been vigilant enough and asked a few more questions, maybe the ending would have been different.

Gu Qingzhi was so angry, he felt that it was not all because of Zhao Huailing.

She seemed to have something else to hide that she didn't tell others.

"Brother Ang, you still don't have to be punished with me, you go and protect Miss." Zhao Huailing said pitifully.

"It's nothing, Gu Dahui will protect it." Gu Qingzhi punished them this time, it can be regarded as giving him a chance, if he fails, he deserves to be single for the rest of his life.

In a certain room of the Purple Bamboo Courtyard.

Wang Yinghua paled and drank the soup brought by the servant, "Master, I bumped into it because of my carelessness yesterday. Don't be angry."

Gu Leiting's darkened face softened by two points, "It's also my fault that I came back at the wrong time, and pushed the door to scare you."

"No." Wang Yinghua smiled gently, "I'm not so timid, I was just careless, Oh, by the way, didn't you say you would come back after dinner yesterday, sir, why did you come back so early?"

It's okay not to mention this matter, but when this matter is mentioned, Gu Leiting's face is completely blackened. If it wasn't for a certain woman who laughed too wildly when she heard his embarrassing things, why would he leave a table of friends and come back alone.

Wang Yinghua also saw his displeasure, and changed the subject instantly: "Master, I just heard that someone fell into a well in the house, can you save him?"

"You are pregnant with a child, so don't worry about such things." Gu Leiting said.

"Okay." She didn't ask again.

Gu Leiting left after she finished drinking the soup and was about to continue lying down to recuperate.

Wang Yinghua closed her eyes slightly, but she was not asleep. She heard the door creaking open and close, and the sound of footsteps in the room from far to near. She suddenly said, "You are not afraid of making things big."

Her voice was annoyed, not at all like the gentle and pitiful woman just now.
