Chapter 218: Assassinated

Master Gu woke up and learned that his concubine Tan was sick, and angrily scolded the housekeeper Gu Quan.
"What do you eat, such a big thing, how can I wake up the officer?"
Gu Quan aggrieved, "Master fell asleep..."
"To shut up!"
Master Gu was distraught and hurried to the backyard to visit Tan.
When Tan learned that Master Gu was coming, he first shouted, then covered his face.
"Master don't come in, please don't come in."
Tan's words were already crying, and he listened very pitifully.
Master Gu stood outside the bedroom door and couldn't move forward.
He coaxed Tan, "Well, well, I won't go in. But you are sick, and the officer is not at ease, you have to take a look."
"No!"
Tan screamed in surprise, Master Gu looked embarrassed.
Tan realized the problem and explained in a soft voice: "My concubine has a rash on her face. My concubine doesn't want the master to see my ugly side, please forgive me."
"How come a rash?"
"The doctor said it was an allergy."
"is it serious?"
Tan's back turned to the door and nodded slightly.
She thought for a while, took off her dress and exposed her shoulders.
There were patches of red rash on the shoulders and back, which looked really scary.
Master Gu's face was livid, "You are so healthy. When you are well, the officer will visit you again. If you need anything, you can send someone to talk to the housekeeper."
"Thank you sir."
Gu Da left the courtyard with a grim expression, and ordered the steward Gu Quan, "Check, send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly. Tan's allergy must not be an accident. Let the officer know who used the hand, the officer can't spare her."
Master Gu has long suspected Xie.
Xie is in charge of the second room, as well as the kitchen and the sewing room. She has to do tricks, and there are opportunities.
The housekeeper took orders and led people to investigate the matter thoroughly.
The news reached Furongyuan.
Chunhe was too worried, "Madam, what should I do now?"
Xie's expression was calm, "What are you afraid of! No matter how great Gu Quan is, I can't find this lady's head. The person who is allergic to Tan's is not my lady."
Tan's allergy is indeed not Xie's hand.
Xie's at best only contributed to the flames.
The steward Gu Quan took the people and investigated for two days, and finally found out the truth.
The person who caused Tan's allergy is not someone else but the Tan family.
Two days ago, the Tan family came to visit the Tan family, and Tan Xiaomei was with them.
Tan Xiaomei was jealous when she saw Tan's good life. Deliberately smeared pollen on the hands.
When the two sisters met, Tan Xiaomei kept holding Tan's hand.
When the Tan family left, Tan quickly developed a rash.
Mr. Gu was very surprised to learn that the person who caused Tan's allergy was the Tan family.
He asked Gu Quan, "You didn't check it wrong? Is it really the Tan family?"
The steward Gu Quan nodded, "Little repeatedly confirmed that it is indeed the Tan family."
"Isn't the wife doing it?"
Gu Quan said, "This matter has nothing to do with his wife."
Master Gu frowned.
The truth was found, but his heart was not strong. Didn't Xie do it? Xie's can be so peaceful? impossible!
Did he really misunderstand Xie this time?
Gu Quan asked, "Master, what should I do with Tan Xiaomei?"
Master Gu frowned, "Tell Tan, let Tan handle it."
In the Furong Courtyard, Xie laughed triumphantly.
No matter how capable Gu Quan was, he would never want to find her head.
Even if Master Gu doubted her, as long as there was no evidence, she couldn't help her.
Xie's was very proud. After so many days, there was finally something that made her feel happy.
"The of the Tan family is delusional and arrogant. This lady teaches her how to be a man."
This time, not only did the Tan family break the picture, but also provoke the Tan family sisters to fight each other.
And she watched the tiger fight from the mountain, don't be too happy.
Xie was happy, but Gu Shan was about to die of anxiety.
A few days have passed, but the Hexibo Mansion hasn't even moved, nor has it sent anyone to come to the door for accountability, nor does it send anyone to withdraw.
This is too weird.
Gu Shan frowned, "Could it be that Mrs. Hexibo didn't know about Gu Yue's arson and murder? Impossible!"
The maid Hongling said, "Girl, could Mrs. Hexiber know about this, but deliberately pretend not to know?"
"Intentionally pretending not to know, why?"
"The slave and maid had the courage to guess if Mrs. Hesyber didn't want to divorce, so she pretended not to know about it."
Gu Shan was full of doubts, "Without Gu Yue, Zhao Erlang couldn't marry his wife, so why is he reluctant to divorce? Is Gu Yue so good?"
Hong Ling said hurriedly: "The servant girl just said casually, girl don't take it seriously."
Gu Shan frowned, "If the Haixi Bofu is really unwilling to divorce, is it possible that Zhao Erlang has something more serious than the rumors?"
Hong Ling exclaimed, "I can't. That Zhao Erlang, the servant girl and the girl have all been seen. Except for the gloomy people, everything else is pretty good. It doesn't look like someone with a problem."
Gu Shan shook her head, "You can't look good, it doesn't mean that you are really good. If Zhao Erlang really has something wrong with him, then this marriage really can't be returned. I have to let Gu Yue get married smoothly."
Hong Ling asked: "Has the girl decided?"
Gu Shan laughed at herself, "Does anyone care about my decision? Anyway, no matter what my attitude is, my father and mother are definitely going to marry Gu Yue to Haixi Bo Mansion. Then I will wait and watch the marriage that Gu Yue has carefully planned. Can't let her be happy."
Hongling is worthless for Gu Shan, "The girl is wronged."
Gu Shan smiled and said, "As long as Gu Yue has a bad life, I will be happy. All the grievances I have suffered in the past are also worth it."
...
The red rash on Tan's body has not recovered.
Master Gu was anxious to get angry.
Finally, there was a sweethearted woman next to her, but this happened again.
Master Gu got angry and yelled at the doctor a few times.
The doctor was so angry that he almost quit.
While watching the show, Xie's persuaded: "Master calms down. The doctor has done his best. You can't blame the doctor."
Master Gu stared at Xie's with a bad look.
He had always suspected that Tan had a rash, and Xie could not get rid of it, but suffered from no evidence.
This would make Mr. Gu very unhappy when Xie's talking coldly.
"Shut up! There's nothing to do with you here, you leave me."
Xie's lips trembled a few times. For the sake of a concubine, the master scolded her in front of her, not giving her face, this is a face slap.
What, do you want to spoil your concubine and destroy your wife?
Xie Shi was trembling with anger, worried that he might say something inappropriate, so he simply flung his sleeves and left.
Chunhe took the opportunity to come up with an idea, "Since it opened for a year, it has been unsuccessful. Madam, do you want to worship the Bodhisattva? I heard that Xiangguo Temple is particularly effective."
When Xie heard it, his heart was immediately moved.
Since returning to the capital, she has never been to worship a Bodhisattva. Perhaps it is for this reason that she has been unsuccessful.
Xie said to Chunhe: "Choose a good day, bring the children, and go to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and worship the Bodhisattva."
Chunhe laughed, "The slave and maid will go pick a day."
Aunt Hu came to greet Xie's.
When passing the door, she and Chunhe exchanged glances.
Aunt Hu nodded to Chun He calmly, and Chun He left with confidence.
Aunt Hu entered the side room, first greeted Xie's, and then sat on the stool to reply.
She knew what Xie's wanted to hear, so she picked up the important words and said: "Tan's rash, ugly like that, the master still treats her as a treasure. Looking at her, the master is afraid that Tan's seduced her."
Xie's face was upset, "What are you doing with that of Tan's? Do you think I am not angry enough?"
Aunt Hu said hurriedly: "My wife misunderstood, and the maidservant wanted to worry about her."
Xie's eyes looked at Aunt Hu contemptuously, "How to share your worries? With your appearance, do you think you can make the master change his mind?"
Aunt Hu smiled awkwardly, "My wife is really good at talking and laughing, and the concubine is old Zhuhuang, how can I make the master change his mind.
The maid thought, since the master likes bright-looking women, why not pick two young bright ones from her and send them to the master.
In this way, the master has proper people around him to take care of him, and he can compete with the Tan family. Unsure, Tan directly fell out of favor, and from now on, let his wife decide. "
Xie frowned, his expression hesitant.
Aunt Hu added: "This is just a little bit of the maid's concubine, I don't know what my wife wants?"
Xie's brows frowned, "Is this the idea you think?"
Aunt Hu nodded.
Xie asked quietly: "Do you have a suitable candidate?"
Aunt Hu waved her hands again and again, "Where is there a suitable candidate for the maid. The maid thinks that this person can only be selected from the wife, who must be someone who can be trusted by the wife, and she has to worry about her."
Xie nodded secretly, there was some truth in Aunt Hu's words. But she has to think again.
An autumn rain and a cold.
It rained in the evening and the weather became much cooler the next day.
Xie's going out to worship Bodhisattva.
The eldest wife Zhang joined in the fun and said that she would go with her.
She also brought her grandmother, Xiao Zhang, and Gu Jun.
In the second room, in addition to Gu Yue, the three sisters Gu Jiu also went out to Shangxiangguo Temple to burn incense.
Everyone got on the carriage at Ermen and set off to the Xiangguo Temple outside the city.
After exiting the city gate, the carriage galloped all the way.
Gu Jiu raised the curtains of the car and looked at the scenery outside curiously.
It was almost a year after returning to Beijing, she was out of the city for the first time.
Qingmei said: "The slave girl heard that Xiangguo Temple burning incense and making a wish is particularly effective. Would the girl burn incense after a while?"
Gu Jiu laughed, "Burn! It's rare to go to Xiangguo Temple. Naturally, I have to burn a stick of incense for the Bodhisattva. Otherwise, the Bodhisattva should blame me for not being sincere. "
"The girl treats the Bodhisattva like that. Beware of the Bodhisattva's blame."
"How can the Bodhisattva save all living beings because of his words. If he really blames me for this, I can only say that the Bodhisattva of Xiangguo Temple is very stingy."
"Girl stop talking. The more you talk, the more panicked the slave and maid will be. This is blasphemy against the Bodhisattva."
Gu Jiu shook his head and smiled, as expected, he stopped talking.
Regarding the gods and Buddhas, Gu Jiu had always stayed away from him in his life, so let's just listen. Don't deny, and won't believe it.
However, since experiencing the soul crossing rebirth, Gu Jiu is now dubious about gods and Buddhas.
I don't know which it was that opened her second life.
Perhaps all this is the credit of the time god.
From afar, you can already see Xiangguo Temple.
The carriage entered the gate, and everyone got out of the carriage and went up the stairs.
The mountain does not look high, but it is quite tiring to walk.
The two ladies were out of breath.
Grandma asked the two if they wanted to prepare for a sliding pole.
Xie wanted it, she was really not physically strong. She had known that she would climb a section of the mountain when she came to Xiangguo Temple, but she said nothing.
The eldest wife, Zhang, waved her hand, "No. Sitting on the sliding pole, she can't show sincerity, and the Bodhisattva will not bless."
Upon hearing this, Xie did not ask to sit on the pole. I hope the Bodhisattva of Xiangguo Temple is so effective.
Finally up the mountain.
Gu Jiu and the others are young people, and they are in good condition, but they are sweating a little.
Xie and Zhang almost didn't lie on the ground.
After resting for a while, he stood up.
The Zhike monk greeted him, "Please from the donor."
Upon arriving at the Daxiong Hall, everyone's expression became solemn.
Take the joss stick from the Zhike monk and prepare to burn incense.
Xie asked Chunhe in a whisper, "Is it really effective?"
Chunhe said affirmatively: "My wife, don't worry, the slave and maid had already inquired that Xiangguo Temple is the most effective temple around the capital."
"That's good."
Burn incense, pray for blessings, and be extremely religious. Just for the Bodhisattva to hear his wish and fulfill his wish.
Gu Jiu is also burning incense.
She thought for a while, her current wish is to be a rich little woman and make her own decisions.
Simply put, one is financial freedom, and the other is independence.
I made a wish and inserted the incense candle into the incense burner.
Then Gu Jiu saw the Xie family and the Zhang family added a large sum of money for sesame oil.
Gu Shan whispered: "Mother prepared a hundred taels of sesame oil money. The eldest aunt prepared more than her mother, and it is estimated to be two hundred taels."
Whether it is one hundred taels or two hundred taels, it is a huge sum of money for sesame oil money.
The Zhike monk didn't change his face, as if a penny or a hundred taels could not make his mood fluctuate at all.
Gu Jiu nodded secretly, and it was indeed a compelling temple with a reputation. It's not comparable to those coquettish outside.
The Xie family was a little dissatisfied. He added a hundred taels of sesame oil, but he didn't get a smiling face from Zhike Seng.
The Zhike monk said politely: "The rest room has been prepared for the donors, please follow the little monk."
Everyone followed the Zhike monk to the backyard of Xiangguo Temple and settled down.
The eldest wife Zhang asked: "Little master, are the maple leaves on the back mountain of Xiangguo Temple red?"
The Zhike monk sang the Buddha's horn, and then said: "Part of it is already red. If the donor wants to go to the back mountain, turn left at the discharge gate and pass through the moon cave gate."
"Thank you little master."
"The donor is polite."
Zhi Ke Seng left.
The eldest wife Zhang said to Xie's: "Xiangguo Temple Su Zhai is the most famous. It is rare to come here. If you want to eat it before you go back. Xiangguo Temple's back mountain scenery is also extremely beautiful, Da Lang's wife, take it with you The girls go to the back mountain and take care of their safety."
The eldest grandmother Xiao Zhang responded with a smile, "Sisters, follow me to the back mountains, how about?"
"My sister-in-law invited, it's an honor."
Gu Jiu, Gu Shan, Gu Lin, and Gu Jun left the courtyard with the grandmother Zhang and went to the back mountain to see the scenery.
As Zhi Ke Seng said, part of the maple leaves are beginning to red, and the scenery is beautiful.
Gu Jiu said, "When the maple leaves all turn red, it's so beautiful here!"
The youngest and grandmother Xiao Zhang smiled and said: "The second sister doesn't know, every fall is the favorite thing for people in the capital to enjoy maple leaves at Xiangguo Temple. In another ten or twenty days, this place will become very lively. From the mountain gate to The steps of the temple are full of small vendors on both sides, crowded with people, and there is no place to go."
Gu Jiu longed for it, "Listening to what my sister-in-law said, I want to come and see and join in the fun."
Xiao Zhang smiled and said: "We can't join in the excitement. Every year when the maple leaves of Xiangguo Temple are red, there are always many kidnappers working here. Every year, children are lost and older girls are kidnapped.
In fact, it is most suitable for us to come to Xiangguo Temple at this time. The red maple leaves can be seen, there are few people, and safety is guaranteed, which is great. "
"Sister-in-law is right."
Everyone wandered around the back mountain.
Gu Shan, Gu Lin is exhausted and can't walk anymore.
Xiao Zhang said: "I will send you back first."
Gu Jun also said: "I'm going back too, too tired."
Xiao Zhang looked at Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu said, "I still want to shop around again. Sister-in-law, please send your sisters home first. I have Wang Yi by my side, so don't worry."
"Well, the second sister pay attention to safety. Remember to go back to the wing to eat vegetarian food before noon."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will go back on time."
Watching everyone leave, Gu Jiu continued to wander around the back mountain.
It's hard to get there, but of course you must cherish the opportunity. Don't waste all your time in the wing, listening to short chats between the east and the west.
In the back mountain of Xiangguo Temple, in addition to large tracts of maple leaves, there are also entire groves of plum and peach trees.
Imagine the flowering season, this place must be beautiful.
call out!
The sound of piercing the air exploded in my ears.
"Girl be careful!"
Wang Yi pushed Gu Jiu away, and at the same time, he waved the rolling pin in his hand.
Ding!
An arrow landed.
Gu Jiu was shocked!
Someone wants to kill her!
I used long-range attack weapons, bows and arrows.
How dear she can make people bother to kill her with bows and arrows.
