Chapter 62
In the next few days, Dali Temple and Kaifeng Mansion launched separate investigations on this matter, but they all said that the public is right and the woman is right, and they couldn't produce any conclusive evidence.

On this day, Minglan came to visit with her newborn brother in her arms. On the one hand, she wanted to express her gratitude to her eldest brother-in-law for his righteous words, and on the other hand, she came to ask if there was any way to help her husband.

Yuan Wenshao listened to Minglan's intentions and said, your husband doesn't necessarily want me to help, but it's hard for him to say these things, so he can only comfort Minglan,
"Looking at the current situation, it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, Zhong Huai is also a marquis with a heavy hand in his hands and a confidant of the government. If the Wang family and Mrs. Qin Tai of your family can't produce absolute evidence, they can't be convicted. , you can rest assured for the time being, take good care of your body, don't worry too much!"

Minglan felt a little relieved after hearing this, and then said to Hualan:

"Big sister, I'm going to move back to my natal family tomorrow for a while to live temporarily. It's not very peaceful outside our house or in the house. When I go back to my natal family, my Lord Marquis can feel at ease!"

Hua Lan also knows that their Gu family's dirty things, and now that Mrs. Qin is taking the lead in slandering Gu Tingye, there is nothing they can't do, but she doesn't agree with Ming Lan's return to her natal family.
"Grandmother is getting old, she has experienced such things before, and her health is not as good as before, and if you go back at this time, with her shrewdness, she will definitely be able to guess what, so grandma is worried, why don't you just stay in our house Just make do with it for a while, I see what the Gu family has the ability to come and make trouble in our house!"

Minglan was also moved when she heard the words, if she had no other choice, she would not want to bother her grandmother, her mother-in-law found out that someone was drugging her, she didn't want to worry Gu Tingye because of this, so she had to avoid the edge and investigate secretly.

She was enough to worry her grandmother before, but now that her grandmother is not in good health, how can she worry about herself anymore, she is a little embarrassed to live here, but she is a decisive person after all, she made up her mind after a while,

"Then I'll disturb my eldest sister and brother-in-law for a few days. I hope that my eldest brother-in-law won't dislike my sister!"

Yuan Wenshao smiled and shook his head,
"Don't say it's just you. I think it's better. I'll let Zhong Huai come over later, and treat you two as my guests. Our two families are also close, which is very convenient!"

Minglan was also happy when she heard the words, and thought that this was the best, so she hurriedly replied:

"Then thank you, big sister, big brother-in-law!"

In the afternoon, Gu Tingye and his wife moved here, bringing Brother Tuan and Sister Rong and a few maidservants.

In the evening, a few people had a small dinner. Gu Tingye was chatting and laughing happily at the banquet, and he and Yuan Wenshao kept drinking together, looking very happy, and there was nothing wrong at all, Ming Lan felt a little relieved when he saw this.

Unexpectedly, the situation in the court changed the next day. The officials approved the pre-trial trial of the case, and asked Han Zhang to interrogate the case on his behalf. The Bai family of the salt merchant and Zhu Manniang, who is so weak and unable to take care of herself, have been brought to sue Gu Tingye.

It was also the first time for Yuan Wenshao to see this Zhu Manniang. She hasn't received a lunch box yet, and she doesn't look weak and can't take care of herself. Instead, she is aggressive and savage. Scratching Gu Tingye, fortunately, he was stopped soon!

Saburo of the Bai family sued Gu Tingye for bullying others and embezzling the Bai family's property, including the house and land of Yanzhuang, with a total of 200 million taels of silver. Those who do not have the right to inherit are outsiders. He can only inherit his mother's dowry, not his grandfather's inheritance. Even if the old man Bai is expelled from the family, the closest person still has the surname Bai, and only the family can do it. Gu Tingye is close At this time, he was also an outsider. Even if there was any suicide note, as long as the amount was small, it would be fine. Such a huge sum of money would inevitably make people suspicious.

Zhu Manniang made up purely nonsense, saying that Gu Tingye always abandoned and killed his own son.

In addition, Mrs. Mrs. Qin hit at a critical moment and sued Gu Tingye for killing Zhu Manniang's biological father. This matter is also a sequelae of the original, and everyone in the capital knows it, or it is a matter of talking about the Gu family. Heap it.

When talking about it, let alone other people, if Yuan Wenshao himself didn't know what happened, he would feel it was Gu Tingye's fault.

Except for a few people, all the officials were talking about it. Even the old British general sitting next to Yuan Wenshao couldn't help but leaned over and asked Yuan Wenshao in a low voice. He actually had a good impression of Gu Tingye.
"Could it be Gu Tingye?"

Yuan Wenshao shook his head,
"It shouldn't be, our two families are brother-in-law, and we get along well, Zhong Huai is not like this person!" What could he say, he had no choice but to defend himself.

In the end, Gu Tingye might have been really annoyed, and had a quarrel with the two wives, so the officials were naturally 'furious' and locked Gu Tingye directly!
