A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 65 I Was Wronged

Gu Huairou was taken aback, looked up at him blankly, tears quickly welled up in his eyes: "Master... I have been by your side for more than a year, and I have never made any serious mistakes, why don't you believe it?" Concubine?"

Shen Zaiye looked at her calmly: "Are you women always messing around like this when you get anxious? You did the first thing that made me suspicious, refused to prove your innocence, and insisted that I trust you unconditionally?"

"I'm a concubine... the concubine is in the heart of the master, is she a person who can fake pregnancy and deceive people?"

"I don't know." Shen Zaye shook his head: "So ask the doctor to check the pulse. After the child is gone, the body will have corresponding symptoms. It's a very simple thing. If you are not guilty, why are you crying?"

"..." Gu Huairou lowered her head, obviously guilty.

Mrs. Gu stared in a daze, and it took her a while to understand her daughter's situation. She immediately stood in front of her and looked at Shen Zaiye and said, "Rou'er is not willing, so why should Xiangye force others to make things difficult for him?"

"When the madam brought people to search the Zhengchun Pavilion, did you ask the people here if they were willing?" Turning to look at her, Shen Zaye's eyes were cold: "You seem to have no position to speak now."

With a slight shake, Mrs. Gu was taken aback by his eyes, pursed her lips and said, "Then what does Xiangye want to do to Rou'er?"

"It's very simple." Shen Zaye glanced at the doctor standing next to him: "If Huairou is willing to see a doctor, then we can discuss the matter according to the result of the diagnosis. If it is true that there has been a miscarriage, we will punish those who spread rumors; , then send her back home with a letter of divorce. But if she doesn't even dare to make a diagnosis, then she can only treat it as a fake pregnancy."

Gu Huairou was startled, looked at the many doctors standing beside her, and immediately got up and knelt down towards Shen Zaiya: "Master! I have something to say!"

"You say so."

"The concubine...the concubine's pregnancy is indeed a problem, but there is something hidden!" Gu Huairou gritted her teeth, looking up at Shen Zaiye and said, "I don't know who is behind the scenes. It's not that she's pregnant, but a doctor from outside came in and lied to my concubine, saying that she was pregnant, and made my concubine hard to get off, so I had to..."

"What did you say?!" Qin Jieyu, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up, interrupted her, and said in shock, "The pregnancy is really fake? Didn't you still move your fetus!"

Looking back at her, Gu Huairou sneered: "Why is Miss Qin so surprised? Didn't you know this early on? You even threatened me with this matter, asking me to lie to Mrs. Jiang!"

Taking a breath, Qin Jieyu leaned closer to Shen Zaye, with a shocked expression on his face, he said: "Master, Mrs. Gu is crazy, she will bite whoever she sees! If the concubine knows that her pregnancy is fake, then she will be pregnant." The concubine's temperament must have made her unlucky by saying it early in the morning, how could she hide it until now. She still talks about Mrs. Jiang... It seems that Mrs. Gu knows that the Lord prefers the Jiang family now, so she is going to drag her into the water anyway. "

Glancing at her sideways, Shen Zaye continued to look at Gu Huairou: "Your pregnancy is fake, is this serious?"

"It's serious..." Gu Huairou frowned, "But it's not my fault at all, it's not my concubine's intention to deceive the Lord!"

"Yeah." Shen Zaiye had anger in his eyes, but a smile on his mouth: "You just want to use your child to win favor, and you just lied to me by the way, didn't you?"

Madam Gu was terrified by the side, she almost lost her footing, she looked at Gu Huaiju in shock and said, "How could you do such a mindless thing?!"

"It's not me, it's really not me!" Gu Huairou shook his head, tears streaming down his face: "Someone cheated me, and I am also a victim!"

"It's really funny." Qin Jieyu snorted softly: "When you were pregnant, I sent things to your yard a lot, caring and taking care of you. In the end, you lied to me that the child was gone, which made me sad. Not to mention, Mrs. Meng was dismissed and Mrs. Jiang was also imprisoned in Jingye Hall for two days. You have killed all the favored people in the entire mansion! Now that the Dongchuang incident has happened, you say someone is lying to you?"

Gu Huairou choked with sobs: "I really didn't know at first..."

"But then you pretended to have a miscarriage, which means you know your body is fake, so you did it on purpose?" Qin Jieyu shook his head, "Can't you tell the truth to the Lord? Poor Mrs. Meng and Mrs. Jiang, you Women are really cruel, selfish and vicious!"

"I……"

"Okay." Shen Zaiye closed his eyes, rubbed the center of his brows very tiredly, and said in a deep voice: "The truth is revealed, Huairou's body is fake, and it made me wronged other people in the house, and I am even more happy in vain I was sad for nothing. It’s not too much to give a letter of divorce for such a big lie.”

"Master!" Gu Huairou threw herself at his feet and cried, "How can you be so cruel? I have served you for so long, and there is hard work without credit. Although you and my concubine are not very affectionate , but at any rate we have been sleeping together for more than a year! I am also a victim of this incident, but you are going to divorce my concubine without saying anything!"

Opening his eyes slightly, Shen Zaiye looked at her, and asked softly: "Why do I keep a person like you in the mansion? It's fine if you hurt people, but you still want to kill someone. The heart of snakes and scorpions is full of anger. The land of my Xiangfu."

"Murder?" Gu Huairou was taken aback, with tears still hanging on his face, looking at him innocently, and said, "When did this concubine kill someone?"

"The day before yesterday, in the woods on the outskirts of the city, you hired someone to kill Mrs. Jiang." Shen Zaiye got up, walked to the side and took out a stack of bank notes, and asked Zhanlu to bring in a driver.

"The witnesses and the material evidence are all there, but I haven't had time to interrogate you. What else do you have to say?"

Originally, if it was just a fake pregnancy, then she would just cry and beg for mercy, and there is still a chance to stay.But if you have the intention to kill... then let alone staying in the Prime Minister's mansion, you won't be able to get married if you remarry.

Mrs. Gu panicked, and quickly took the things in Shen Zaiye's hand to look at them.

It was a stack of counterfeit banknotes. The source of the paper and printing could be traced. After all, there were only two places in the capital where banknotes could be forged.It was the same thing that Huairou wanted people to find just now, but it was hidden so well that Shen Zaiye came back before he had time to find it out.

Squeezing her palms, Mrs. Gu whispered, "What can you tell from this banknote?"

"Madam doesn't know?" Shen Zaye smiled: "Then I'll tell Madam, Ronghui and Guantong two banks in the capital have recently been seized by the government for counterfeiting banknotes, and the Yamen is looking around for the whereabouts of the fake banknotes. Unfortunately, , Mr. Gu seems to have received a lot of fake bank notes."

"...That's my master's bad luck." Mrs. Gu pursed her lips and said, "So many fake banknotes have flowed out, how can you say that these must belong to my Gu family?"

"It's very simple." Shen Zaiye said: "There are bank numbers on the bank notes, and the numbers of the [-] bank notes in my hand are all consistent. There are accounts in the bank where the bank notes are flowing, so you can find out when you check them."

Madam Gu really panicked and tore up the bank note with her hand!
"You can tear it up however you want, don't dirty the land of my Prime Minister's Mansion." Shen Zaiya said indifferently: "I'm not interested in knowing what Mr. Gu is doing behind his back. I'm interested in investigating him. But you can't take lightly the matter of buying a murderer with a thousand dollars."

"It's not me!" Gu Huairou hastily pointed at Qin Jieyu: "It's her! She threatened me with the secret of my pregnancy to trick Lady Jiang out of the house!"

Qin Jieyu rolled his eyes, looked at her with a smile and said, "Do you know what you look like now? It's like drowning and catching a female ghost that everyone wants to tear off! Lady Jiang has no grievances with me, you Do you think you will believe me if you say that?"

Shen Zaiye was silent.

To be honest, he would believe it, but today, he only wanted to deal with Gu Huairou.

"You came to Zhengchun Pavilion in person the day before yesterday." Shen Zaiye said: "You let Mrs. Jiang leave the mansion, and the coachman is also yours. In this case, you still want to pass the responsibility to others, don't you say something? No way?"

"..." Gu Huairou's lips trembled, and he gave Qin Jieyu a look of hatred.

At this moment, she seemed to understand everything. The rumors that had been circulating since last night must have been done by Qin Jieyu in order to force her to bite Jiang Shi.If she can't bite, then she herself has nothing good to eat.

She didn't call her mother, so she wondered how someone who was so good-natured would go and talk so much in front of her, making her mother rush over to make trouble, and it turned out that Qin Jieyu was the source of everything!
What a lady Qin, she was harmed to such an extent, but she couldn't even tell what she was suffering!
"You will have retribution!" Looking at Qin's, Gu Huairou's eyes were full of hatred, and he said through gritted teeth, "You will definitely have retribution!"

Shen Zaye glanced sideways at Qin Jieyu, who had a panicked and innocent expression on his face: "Why are you doing this? It really looks like I did something! I, Qin Jieyu, am not afraid of the slanting shadow, so I didn't do anything." Don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if you have a bad heart!"

Gu Huairou choked up, and cried for a long time before looking at Shen Zaiye and saying, "Master, can I let this concubine stay in the mansion for two more days? After all, I have stayed here for so long, and I also want to pack up my things and say goodbye to my sisters." .”

"Yes." Shen Zaye said with a straight face, "but I won't see you again."

"...Okay." Gritting his teeth and standing up, Gu Huairou supported Yue Tao's hand, bowed his knees to Shen Zaiye, glanced at the people in the room, dragged his mother and walked out.

"Rou'er!" Mrs. Gu said anxiously, "If you plead guilty like this, who will dare to marry you after that?"

"Don't you think it's not enough?" Gu Huairou yelled while crying, "You have to hand me over to the Kyoto Yamen before you give up?"

Mrs. Gu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly fell silent, and followed her all the way back to Wenqing Pavilion.

Mei Zhaoxue had seen enough excitement, so she calmly went back to copy her Heart Sutra.Qin Jieyu looked at Shen Zaiye aggrievedly, knelt down and said, "The concubine will not disturb the Lord's rest, but I still hope that the master can trust the concubine."

"Well." Shen Zaiye waved his hand: "Go back."

"The concubine retire."

The noisy Prime Minister's Mansion fell silent in an instant, and the cries in Wenqing Pavilion became very clear, resounding throughout the Prime Minister's Mansion.
