Vol 2 Chapter 976: Lethality

On the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, there are only ten days left before the New Year.
Snow flies in the sky, and the entire capital is white.
Ren Qiu, the "sacred stick", watched the sky at night and concluded that this snow was the last snow in the first year of Jingming.
The next show will be in the second year of Jingming.
Several horse-drawn carriages ran over the snow-covered street with a crunching noise.
The carriage crossed the streets and alleys, and finally entered the Gu Mansion, now Chengping Bo Mansion.
Standing in the wind and snow, Gu Ling hurried forward a few steps when he saw the carriage entering the side door.
"Manny!"
The car door opened and a hand stretched out. His slender and white fingers, the nails are pink and tender, he has not painted nail polish, nor has he dressed up.
Gu Jiu stepped on the small stool and got out of the carriage.
She said to Gu Ling: "Don't disturb others! I came here just to see him and ask him a few words."
"Father has been waiting in the study for a long time." Gu Ling lowered his head slightly.
Maid Aqing put on the white fox cloak on Gu Jiu, "Mother, take care of your body."
Gu Jiu held the brass hand stove and looked up at the sky. Snow fell on his face, a little cool.
"Let Xie's prepare, maybe my palace will meet her."
"Yes!" Gu Ling bowed.
The snow in the yard has been cleaned up, and the ground is wet and slightly slippery.
Gu Jiu followed Gu Yu to the study.
Through the corridor, the study is in sight. But I heard movement inside, bang bang bang, it seemed to be smashing things.
Gu Ling sighed, "It's like this every day, it's either cursing or smashing, and it doesn't stop a day."
Gu Jiu asked, "Have you talked with him?"
Gu Ling shook his head, "I want to talk to him, but I am afraid that the results will not come out and your arrangement will be broken."
Gu Jiu nodded, "Brother might as well go in with me."
"Is it right?" Gu Ling was pleasantly surprised.
"There is nothing inappropriate. It is about the cause of death of the biological mother, and my brother is qualified to listen."
The brother and sister walked into the study.
The noise in the study suddenly disappeared, and there was a mess.
Xu Yousi immediately arranged for someone to clean the ground and let the maid serve tea again.
It’s a good study, but it’s been ruined by Mr. Gu.
The ground was cleaned up, the brewed tea was sent to the study, the charcoal bowl was burning vigorously, and the room was quite warm.
Make sure everything is okay, Xu Yousi bowed back and closed the door easily.
The old man Gu Zhili was panting. He wanted to question and vent his anger, but when he met Gu Jiu's eyes, he was discouraged.
He is scared!
He is not afraid of the unfilial son Gu Ling.
But he was afraid of Gu Jiu from the bottom of his heart.
Just a look can make him honest.
"Come, come!" Gu Zhili stammered in fear.
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and poured the tea himself, "Drink tea!"
She put the teacup on the other end of the desk and knocked on the table.
Gu Zhili immediately sat down at the other end of the table when he heard the sound, unbelievably obedient.
Gu Yu secretly sighed, one thing drops one thing, this is sincere not to deceive others.
No matter how fierce and wicked he was, he couldn't compare to his sister's lightly drinking tea.
Seeing Gu Zhili sitting down, Gu Jiu said softly: "Let's talk about it!"
Gu Zhili almost jumped up in a panic. He tremblingly asked, "Tell me, what?"
The stuttering problem is getting worse.
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Tell me how my mother died."
"She, she, she, she died from a serious illness, everyone knows this. You are a queen, but you can't listen to Xie's words. She is uneasy and kind, she is instigating separation, she just can't see our family and Harmony."
Gu Zhili said more and more smoothly, putting all the responsibilities on Xie's head.
Gu Jiu smiled rather than smile, "Just based on Xie's words, do you think I will talk to you personally?"
"This, this, what does this mean?"
Gu Zhili was sweating profusely. Why is the room so hot? Is the fire in the charcoal too big? Do you want to open a window for ventilation?
He wiped the sweat from his forehead, already nervous to the point of being helpless.
Gu Jiu casually said, "The person who served by his father's side was not dead. There is still one person alive who said something valuable. For example, the little cousin from the Su family."
boom!
Gu Zhili's head exploded, dizzy.
"You are a queen, you won't believe what a person who was kicked out of Gu's house said."
"Why don't you believe it, he has no reason to lie. Similar to the little cousin of the Su family, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't make up such a story."
Gu Zhili broke out in a cold sweat, "I, I, I..."
Gu Jiu leaned back in the chair and said lightly: "My patience is limited. Once my patience runs out, I will no longer care about the love of father and daughter."
In panic, Gu Zhili burst into tears.
"I'm your father! Why are you treating me as vicious as an enemy? I have nothing to be sorry for you. I also prepared a dowry for you forty thousand taels. Is there any misunderstanding between us?"
He cried bitterly, crying like a child of two hundred catties.
Gu Jiu looked at him indifferently, "Are you sure you want to waste time? Today, I will only ask about the death of my mother. You have been avoiding this matter because of a guilty conscience."
"No! I was wronged, I did nothing."
"What the is going on with the little cousin from the Su family?" Gu Jiu ignored his excuse and only asked the core questions.
Gu Zhili said angrily: "That's a little slut, deliberately seduce me, want to enter the door to replace your mother's position."
"Fart! Su Family, how could it be..." Gu Ling jumped angrily.
"The Su family is indeed, but it is the direct branch of the Su family. As for the side branch of the Su family, they are a group of shabby households who live on the direct support, and they are all the masters who see money and eyes. Back then, the old man was the son of the Hou Mansion, and many little girls They all love to join the old man."
Gu Zhili interrupted Gu Ling, in his eyes Gu Ling was a foolish man.
Gu Jiu knocked on the table to remind the two not to argue.
She asked: "Do you mean that the little cousin from the Su family took the initiative to approach you?"
"That's right! Then your mother got angry and angered me, saying that I recruited bees and butterflies, insulted her, and disrespected her. I couldn't talk to her, and I didn't bother to listen to her nagging for a long time. she was."
"Later, did you and the Su's cousin still have a private relationship?" Gu Jiu asked calmly.
"Um, yes, yes, I had a few private contacts. Later, the little cousin's family was driven out of the capital by the Su family's direct branch, and they broke off their contacts."
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows and sneered, "As far as the palace knows, the Su's cousin suddenly disappeared. She was not born or saw her corpse. It's not that you were driven out of the capital."
"You don't believe me, you actually believe in a subordinate?" Gu Zhili was hurt and innocently angry.
Snapped!
Gu Jiu slapped the table and said sharply: "The Su family is not dead, and you can't keep it from back then."
Gu Zhili slumped, as if his energy was drained.
"Let's talk about it, what happened back then?" Gu Jiu's voice was very soft, but the mountain was overwhelming.
Gu Zhili's last resistance was ruthlessly suppressed by her.
He sighed and wiped his face, "This is a long story."
"I have time in my palace today, you can speak slowly."
"The Su family, your grandfather, is a tough guy who offended many people in the court. Many people looked at him unpleasant and wanted to get him down so that he would not be an eyesore in the court. Someone found me and let me Find a way to find the flaws in the old man Su."
"You promised?"
Gu Zhili nodded heavily.
Gu Jiu frowned, "Why do you agree? The Su family is your wife's clan. What good will it do to you if you kill the Su family?"
"I have a handle in the hands of others." Gu Zhili yelled angrily, looking very painful.
Gu Jiu sneered, "I'm afraid it's more than that. As far as this palace knows, your marriage with your mother was not what you wanted. After you got married, the relationship between your husband and wife has never been harmonious. I ask you, before the Su family fell into trouble, you Have you ever had the idea of ​​killing your wife?"
"You, you, you, is this human? I am your father!" Gu Zhili roared with a grim face.
Gu Jiu sneered, "It seems there are."
"No! I don't, don't wrong me."
Snapped!
Gu Jiu patted the table, "Go on back to Su's house, who threatened you? What did you do?"
"I don't know who threatened me, the other party has not shown up."
"What threaten you?"
"I, I, I, I was drunk and yelled at Emperor Wu Zong Kai Yao, and I was heard. I also wrote poems ridiculing Emperor Kai Yao. I paid it back, and secretly moved the noble daughter of the clan."
Gu Zhili really died on a woman in this life.
Wu Zong opened up Emperor Yao and dealt with officials on charges of defamation. Gu Zhili scolded, wrote ridicule poems, and moved the noble daughters of the clan, no wonder he was at the mercy of others.
It can only be said that Gu Zhili when he was young was also an angry young man.
Even more stupid, written evidence was also left.
He is afraid of death!
Someone threatened him, because he was afraid of death, he would definitely choose to submit, without hesitation.
"What did you do?" Gu Jiu continued to ask.
Gu Zhili hesitated, as if unable to speak.
Gu Jiu sneered and said, "What can't you say now?"
Gu Zhili's eyes were drifting and he was very guilty. "The little cousin from the Su family posted it and wanted to be my concubine, so I pushed the boat along the water and used her to stimulate your mother. Your mother was really angry and couldn't stand it running back to her family. I promised your mother and The little cousin broke off the relationship and kept in touch with her in private. Because I went to the Su family several times to apologize, Mr. Su had a better view of me. So I took advantage of Mr. Su's trust and caused an accident."
"What accident?"
Gu Zhili covered his face, unable to speak, embarrassed.
Even if the matter has passed for many years, he is reluctant to mention it.
"What accident? What did you do?"
Gu Jiu was furious.
She had a hunch that what Gu Zhili did was directly related to the defeat of the Su family and the death of the Su family.
Gu Zhili choked up several times and kept his head buried and refused to speak.
boom!
Gu Jiu picked up the teacup and slammed it directly on the ground.
"Say!"
There is only one word, but like a huge hammer, it hit Gu Zhili's heart heavily.
He is a lot of age, his hair has been gray, but at the moment he is like a wronged child, crying too hard.
