Chapter 119 Gu Jiu's Face

"The doctor is here!"

"Doctor, let's take a look at Yue'er. Does Yue'er's injury matter?"

"Second madam, don't worry. The third girl's injury looks serious, but she doesn't actually hurt her bones, it's all fleshy injuries."

"How can it not be serious, there is so much blood."

Xie glared at the doctor, and even suspected that the doctor was a quack doctor. Someone wanted to harm Yue'er, and deliberately invited a quack doctor to come over.

Dr. Zhu's beard trembled, "If the second wife doesn't believe the old man, then please ask another clever man."

"Doctor Zhu misunderstood. My wife was just too worried about the third girl's injury, so she spoke in a hurry."

Chun He persuaded Doctor Zhu to stop, and then came to persuade the Xie family.

"Madam, don't worry. This doctor Zhu is a well-known doctor in the capital. He has excellent medical skills. He used to be an imperial doctor before. The third girl's injury is very important. It's too late to change the doctor at this time, and it also delays the third girl's injury."

Xie Shi let out the breath that he had been holding back, and at least calmed down a bit.

"Doctor Zhu, I was so anxious just now that I offended you, please bear with me. I feel bad when the child is beaten like this!"

Dr. Zhu opened the medicine box and said, "Don't worry, second madam, the board-player is very measured. This injury seems serious, but it is actually a skin injury. With good wound medicine, it will be cured for a few days. "

"Then trouble Dr. Zhu." Xie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She stayed beside the bed and watched Doctor Zhu give Gu Yue medicine.

Gu Yue was still in a coma. She let out a moan when the wound medicine touched her skin, as if irritating her.

"Yue'er, don't be afraid. Mother is by your side."

Xie shi held Gu Yue's hand with a nervous expression.

While instructing the maid to apply medicine to Gu Yue, Doctor Zhu said to Mrs Xie, "The medicine is very effective, but it will irritate the skin. Second madam, don't worry."

Mr. Xie nodded, "I know. Thank you Doctor Zhu."

A little maid came to Xie's side and whispered, "Madam, sir, please come over."

Xie's face sank, and he pressed his throat and said, "I see."

Xie Shi looked at Gu Yue who was unconscious,

Various thoughts flashed through my mind.

She said to Chunhe, "Take care of Yue'er, I'll come when I go."

Chun He replaced Mr. Xie, held Gu Yue's hand, and looked at Mr. Xie worriedly.

Xie didn't respond to Chun He, she walked out of the bedroom and went to see Master Gu.

Master Gu sat down on the chair, and when he heard footsteps, he looked at Mrs Xie.

The husband and wife looked at each other and did not reply.

The atmosphere between the two seemed to have dropped to freezing point.

The servants all bowed their heads, it was terrifying for the two masters to make such a fuss.

But don't make a noise!

It was Master Gu who was the first to break the silence.

"You know very well why your husband wants to fight Yue'er."

Mrs Xie nodded, looking forbearance, and said, "My concubine knows that Yue'er has done something wrong and should be punished. But the master is too cruel."

Master Gu snorted coldly, "This officer just beat her up, but she ruined girl Zhen's marriage. In comparison, the third girl is more ruthless than you and me."

Xie Shi was trembling all over, she didn't know that.

But the destruction of a marriage is as intuitive as being beaten and bleeding.

Seeing Yue'er pass out with blood all over her body, her heart aches.

Xie shi covered her heart and said, "Even if there is no Yue'er, Haixi Bo's house may not be able to see girl Zhen."

"No ifs."

Master Gu said rudely, "You have to take the main responsibility for Yue'er becoming what she is today. It is because she knows that no matter how wrong she makes, you will protect her, that's why she dares to be so unscrupulous, self-righteous, Ruthless."

Xie Shi shuddered, "Master also blames me."

Master Gu snorted coldly, "Not only Yue'er needs to reflect, but you also need to reflect. Today, she can destroy girl Zhen's marriage for a man. In the future, she can also destroy you and me, destroy you and me for other reasons. Drop this home."

"No, it won't. Yue'er is not that bad. Master, you are prejudice."

Master Gu said with a straight face, "If you continue to indulge her, you will regret it one day."

Xie suddenly burst into tears, "You all come to accuse me, then what should I do. Yue'er is my daughter, can I really watch him and her suffer?"

"Are you going to keep pampering her? You're just confused."

Master Gu looked disappointed.

Xie Shi looked at Master Gu, and suddenly made up her mind, "Master, tell Yue'er about the marriage! When she gets married, she will naturally be sensible."

Master Gu frowned, "What are you thinking about?"

Xie Shi smiled bitterly, "I beat Yue'er, and I also beat and scolded her. She promised on the spot that she would change and grow. But in a few days, she would return to her old ways.

Master, the concubine admits that she has not taught her well. Now, the concubine is powerless towards her. She is not Shan'er, Shan'er is sensible and obedient.

Yue'er is too stubborn, and it just so happens that she is too old, so it's better to send her out early. "

"Have you made up your mind?"

Xie shi nodded, "I also want to stay with Yue'er for a few more years. But seeing her determined look, if you continue to keep her, I'm afraid there will be even more trouble."

Master Gu frowned. He had the intention to discipline Gu Yue well, but he didn't have that much time.

Relying on the Xie family to discipline Gu Yue, now it seems that it is of no use.

It seemed that there was only one way left to marry Gu Yue early.

Master Gu recognized Xie's idea. Ask directly: "Whose do you like?"

Xie shi covered her mouth and cried for a while before she said, "My concubine is unfamiliar with her life in the capital, so how can she have any idea. Yue'er's marriage needs more attention from the master."

After a pause, Mrs Xie continued: "Yue'er was beaten, and this matter can't be hidden from anyone. The concubine is worried that the big room and the Hou's house next door will think about it, which will affect Yue'er's life."

Master Gu said with a stern face, "Are you blaming this official?"

"Concubine dare not. Concubine is just telling the truth."

Master Gu said: "I will say hello to the big room and the Hou's mansion next door and make things clear."

Xie Shi couldn't believe it, she thought Master Gu was going to tell the truth. Tell the truth, what will Gu Yue do?

Master Gu snorted, very dissatisfied, "Is this official so confused? This matter ends here with this official. It's your parents' side, tell them to shut up."

Xie Shi looked dazed and puzzled.

At this time, the housekeeper Gu Quan walked in. He first glanced at the Xie Shi, then walked to Master Gu, and said to Master Gu, "Master, Young Master Zhao is waiting for Master at the Yamen."

"what?"

Master Gu's complexion changed, "Which son?"

Gu Quan said cautiously, "The Prince of Ning's Mansion has ordered him."

Master Gu was shocked, "Why is he waiting for this official in the yamen? This official has no contact with their palace."

Gu Quan said in a low voice, "Young Master Zhao said that he wants to report the case."

Master Gu suddenly felt like the top of Mount Tai, and his face became extremely ugly. The invisible pressure made him almost breathless.

Since he took office as the governor of the capital, the thing he was most worried about happened.

His biggest worry is getting involved in a case involving a royal family member.

No one can guarantee that there is no bigger conspiracy behind the royal family's case, and whether it will involve the increasingly fierce battle for succession.

Master Gu said with sweat on his forehead, "If he wants to report the case, he can go to the Ministry of Punishment, the Tingwei, or if it's too bad, he can go to the young mansion, the embroidered guard, or even the executive Jinwu. A mere yamen in the capital can't hold his statue. Big Buddha. You go and tell him that his case is not accepted by the official."

Gu Quan became anxious, "Sir, I have already told Young Master Zhao what I should say. He said that the case happened in the capital, and he should report it to the Lord. Sir, this case cannot be evaded. If he offends Young Master Zhao, he gets angry and Going to His Majesty and speaking ill of your lord, what is the best way?"

Master Gu gritted his teeth, "These princes and grandsons are trying to force this official into a dead end."

"Sir, it's better to go and see Young Master Zhao first and listen to what he has to say."

Master Gu nodded helplessly, "That's the only way it can be now."

A master and a servant were muttering there, which naturally attracted Xie's attention.

Seeing that Master Gu looked like a great enemy, she became worried.

"Master, what happened?"

"Something happened in the yamen, and I have to go there right away. We'll have a long-term plan for Yue'er's marriage."

"master……"

Master Gu has left Zizhuyuan with his servants.

Chun He came to Xie's side and said, "Madam, the third girl has been given medicine, and Doctor Zhu has also prescribed the medicine."

Xie came back to his senses, "Is Yue'er's injury serious?"

"Dr. Zhu said that it is good to recuperate, and you will be able to get out of bed and move freely in a few days."

Xie Shi breathed a sigh of relief.

Chun He looked around, then leaned over and whispered in Xie Shi's ear, "I don't know if this servant is true or not when I heard some news."

"what news?"

Chun He rolled his throat subconsciously, and then said, "It seems that the Xie family leaked the news and passed it to the master's ears."

"really?"

Chun He nodded, "The slave does not dare to deceive the wife."

Xie Shi had a gloomy face, thinking in her heart, it must be the scourge of Ma Shi, and she must have missed the point.

She knew that Ma Shi was not a good thing.

It seemed that she had misunderstood Aunt Hu before.

Aunt Hu kept her promise and didn't say anything.

Xie said with a stern face, "I know about this. You should pay attention to the situation in the mansion. If you find someone is talking nonsense, report it to me immediately."

"The slaves obey."

...

Master Gu hurriedly came to the yamen signing room.

Liu Zhao was facing the door, looking at a painting hanging on the wall.

"Cough cough..."

Master Gu let out a light cough, reminding Young Master Zhao.

When Liu Zhao heard the movement, he turned around and looked at Master Gu with a modest gaze.

"Master Gu is finally here, my son didn't wait in vain."

Master Gu made a serious face, walked into the signing room, and bowed to the son Zhao.

Liu Zhao replied with a salute, "Your Excellency Gu is polite."

Master Gu took the seat.

This is the Yin Yamen of the capital, and in the Yamen, Lord Gu is the biggest.

In order to maintain the prestige of the government and the majesty of the imperial court, except for the emperor, no matter who comes and how high his status is, Master Gu should insist on sitting on the main seat. It is impossible to give up the main seat.

After Master Gu sat down, he said blankly, "Young Master Zhao, please take a seat."

Liu Zhao sat down on the guest seat.

Master Gu asked solemnly: "Xiaguan heard that Young Master wants to report the crime?"

"Exactly."

"What case?"

Master Gu had all kinds of dissatisfaction with Liu Zhao in his heart.

As the emperor's grandson, why didn't he go to the court when he had a case, but instead came to him, the small governor of the capital.

Even if he finds out the case, what can he do.

The case involved the palace, and it was found that the case was serious, and he had to report it to the court and the emperor.

At that time, there will be other yamen people to take over the case.

In short, in the eyes of Master Gu, Liu Zhao went to the Yin Yamen of the capital to report the crime, which was purely unnecessary and a waste of time.

Liu Zhao said in a cool tone: "My son was dining at the restaurant today and lost a piece of jade pendant in the shape of a fish. The jade pendant is a gift from the mother and concubine, and I dare not ignore it. Please, Lord Gu, help me to find the jade pendant."

Master Gu was surprised, "That's it?"

Liu Zhao nodded slightly, "That's it."

Master Gu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It would be easy to find a jade pendant.

"This official is clear about this case, and I will try my best to retrieve the jade pendant."

Liu Zhao nodded slightly, "Thank you, Lord Gu. For the details, my bodyguard Zhao San will report them one by one. If there is any need for this son's cooperation, please feel free to speak, Lord Gu."

"Young master has a heart."

Master Gu just wanted to send Liu Zhao away as soon as possible, and hurriedly called someone over to register the case.

Liu Zhao's jade pendant fell in Tongfu Restaurant, saying that it was still hanging around his waist when he went to the restaurant for dinner. When he left the restaurant, he found that the jade pendant was gone.

However, everyone in the restaurant denied seeing the jade pendant, and no one would admit to stealing the jade pendant.

Master Gu looked at the case registration, the case seemed very simple. If there is no accident, it should be resolved soon.

After completing the case registration, Liu Zhao left the Yin Yamen in the capital.

Only then did Master Ma anxiously tell Master Gu, "Master, it's not good."

"what happened?"

"I heard from the people below. This Tongfu Restaurant has a lot of background, and the backing behind it seems to be a certain royal mansion."

Snapped!

Master Gu sat on the chair with his butt in his hand, sweating profusely.

He knew that when the grandson came to report the case, how could the case be as simple as it seemed.

Sure enough, everyone in their yamen is used as a sword.

Master Gu was terrified in his heart. If this were involved in a fight with the royal family, it would be fatal.

Then, the son-in-law came to report the case in person, knowing that this case could not be solved by the Yin Yamen of the small capital city, but he still had to bite the bullet and investigate.

Sure enough, the position of the governor of the capital would be fatal.

The predecessor, Master Zhang, is still in the prison of Zhijinwu. Master Gu really doesn't want to follow in the footsteps of his predecessor.

Master Gu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and asked, "Do you know which palace is the backing of Tongfu Restaurant?"

"I don't know yet. I'll ask the next official soon. Sir, do you want to investigate this case?"

Master Gu gritted his teeth, "Check, of course you have to check. Young Master Zhao came to the Yamen to report the case with great fanfare, how could this official not investigate. I am afraid that the whole capital has already received the news of the Young Master Zhao's report, so I will wait to see this official. It's a joke. If this official doesn't find out about the case, he can't explain it to the top."

"What the lord said is. Maybe in two days, people will be sent to the court, inside the palace, and the palace to investigate the case."

Master Gu has already figured it out, let's ignore the people and things involved in this case. He only investigates the case, and ignores the superfluous matters.

If you can check it, continue to check, if you can't check it, stop in time.

Even if Young Master Zhao and His Royal Highness Prince Ning were to blame, he had enough reasons to shirk.

Master Gu still has a fluke in his mind, hoping that this is just a simple case.

Knowing that it is impossible, but still holding even one ten thousandth of the fantasy.

When Liu Zhao came out of the Yin Yamen in the capital, he clearly saw several waves of people with suspicious whereabouts.

Liu Zhao smiled contemptuously and got into the carriage as if nothing had happened.

He looked very thin, his face was abnormally pale, and he seemed to be ill for a long time.

Zhao San said, "Young Master, be careful."

Liu Zhao said softly, "It's okay."

After getting on the carriage, guard Zhao San waited by his side.

"Sir, where are you going now?"

Liu Zhao lowered his head and smiled, "Go back to the palace."

"Yes!"

Zhao San ordered the driver to drive the car towards the palace.

"Young master, do you still remember Miss Gu who you met in the northwest?"

Liu Zhao raised his eyebrows.

Zhao San continued: "This Master Gu is the father of Miss Gu."

Liu Zhao asked blankly, "What do you want to say?"

"My subordinates are worried that this incident will involve Mr. Gu. After all, Miss Gu has saved his life for the young master."

Liu Zhao looked at Zhao San with cold eyes, Zhao San's cold sweat instantly fell, and he hurriedly lowered his head and pleaded guilty: "My subordinates should be damned."

Liu Zhao said indifferently: "No matter who is sitting in that position is Master Gu, Master Zhang, Master Li, or Master Wang, my son's plan will not change, remember?"

"My subordinate understands."

Liu Zhao looked out of the car window, and when he saw that he was about to arrive at the palace, he said, "But there is some truth to what you said. My son will be careful and try not to implicate Lord Gu."

Zhao San breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Jiu didn't know at all, because of her, Master Gu escaped the catastrophe.
