Chapter 8
"This is indeed the handwriting of the great master."

"How is this possible, I clearly saw him at the time"

"lady!"

The thin monkey in the fourth room suddenly raised his voice, and abruptly blocked his wife's words back.

Li Qianyin raised her head and raised an eyebrow at Gu Qingrang with a smile in her eyes, who immediately understood.

"More than 20 years ago, my Gu family was just a small tea merchant in Guangling's generation. After my father managed it alone, we have the family business we have today."

"Now my father left a will, and all the uncles and aunts have also seen it. Except for our first room, second room, and third room, my father did not leave a copper coin to the fourth room. He only said that he would let your family temporarily live in Gu's house. Four Uncle, tell me, what does father mean by this?"

Gu Qingrang looked like he saw through everything, and the faces of the four-bedroom couple turned red.

"Stop talking nonsense! Eldest brother must have lost his head because of the extreme pain at the time of his death, and left out our husband and wife! How can you count the will written by you without a clear mind! Besides, the room was full of your people at that time. , you kid, didn't you trick my elder brother into writing this will just to covet our Gu family's property?!"

"You Gu family?" Gu Qingrang sneered, "Then fourth uncle, what do you mean is that you want to disobey my father?"

As soon as these words came out, both sides were silent, and even the maddened fourth wife was flustered and angry at the moment.

The husband and wife looked at me and I looked at you, but they couldn't say a word.

"In that case, let's settle other accounts."

Under the terrified gaze of everyone, Gu Qingrang brought out half a cake on a plate.

Although half of the cake has been eaten, it can still be seen that it was exquisitely made before.

"Why is this so green? Don't serve such a piece of cake in front of outsiders. It's a joke."

The long-faced lady of the third room was also a little at a loss when she saw the cake, she quickly stood up and winked wildly at the servant beside her.

But they were stopped by Gu Qingrang's people.

"There's a stalk of wormwood on the snow, everyone, be careful, if you accidentally get it on, you'll have to go down and be with Master Gu."

This cake was found by Bai Dieyin just now following the trail of the poison.

Of course, there are also Sifang's unclean hands.

Li Qianyin knocked on the gilt silver plate, but it seemed to be on the hearts of everyone present.

The blackened bottom of the plate is clearly visible.

"Let's talk about it, fourth uncle, fourth aunt. This cake was sent by your son and my cousin Gu Qingnian himself."

Gu Qingrang sat in the hall and gently pushed the plate towards the four-bedroom couple.

"It is said that my cousin is the most filial, and among the brothers, my father loves him the most—why, murdering his parents? He is really filial."

"It's her! They are the couple who deceived my Qingnian family!"

The fat lady in the fourth room couldn't hold back anymore, she pointed at the third room and almost jumped up.

"Who in the Gu family doesn't know that my Qingnian is the most filial, and the elders will listen to what they say! Half a month ago, this unscrupulous couple ordered my Qingnian to buy cakes for the old man to pay filial piety every day. He himself didn't know about yesterday's cakes. Zhong was actually poisoned by their third room!

"What are you talking about? We dare not do such a poisonous thing. Besides, the Elder treats us very well. Could it be that your four rooms are jealous that the Elder gave us the family property, but there is no one from your family. Can't you go around and slander?"

The wife of the third bedroom is exceptionally quick-spoken, but the fat and thin couple of the fourth bedroom can't argue with each other.

"And you!" Seeing that the third room could not be more noisy, the fourth room charged at the second room who was usually good at talking but now silent.

"It's you who come to us every day crying and weeping, saying that it's really hard for you as a widow to be in the Gu family. You have no husband to rely on and you have to raise a pair of children, and you have no money around you. If you can divide the family property, the three of us will be rich. It would be best for us to find a chance to end the old man! Are you just pretending to be dumb now?"

"When did I say that?" The kind and compassionate woman held her chest and cried, "Yes, I mean it's a hard day, but both of you, husband and wife, can't see me as a widow." Shi Wei, make up some lies to pull me into the water."

Even Li Qianyin, who had fought hundreds of times with righteous people who were full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, had to admire her acting skills. If she didn't know about this lady's acting skills, she would really be moved.

Fight what she has.

"Good, both of you! Now that you have torn your face, you will die together, and no one will feel better about it!"

"okay!"

A deep breath came from the back house.

"Fourth brother, you're right. Since we're tearing apart—then we'll go to the government to discuss it together."

I saw that Master Gu Gu Kuihong was full of energy, and his complexion was much stronger than before.

Passing Li Qianyin, Gu Kuihong nodded, his smile bottomless, but somewhat unpredictable.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Gu's accountant also came over, holding a stack of papers in his hand.

"Master, according to your instructions, I have recorded all the conversations of the second, third and fourth wards in the book. If I ask, I can explain it."

"Not bad." Gu Kuihong praised a few words, and then turned to the crowd, "It's also my fault. All these years, I have been thinking about the prosperity of the Gu family, but I only forgot the strict way of housekeeping, so I indulge you cause today's disaster."

He looked at Gu Qingrang, "I know you guys are quite dissatisfied with me calling Rang'er the head of the family. Since the death of my wife, I have never married a wife, and I have few children under my knees, and only Rang'er is the adopted son."

Li Qianyin was taken aback, it turned out that Gu Qingrang was not his own.

Gu Kuihong continued, "Although Rang'er has no blood relationship with me, once he enters my Gu family, he is my own son. What's more, his talent, learning and strategy are far superior to all of you. If he takes over my Gu family after a hundred years, I can also rest in peace."

"Master Gu, I'm afraid I won't be able to rest in peace."

With a loud bang, the door of the Gu Mansion was knocked open by someone.

Outside the mansion, there were a few people who joined in the fun, but no one dared to step forward to see clearly.

"who?"

Gu Kuihong shouted sharply.

The other party was wearing a black robe, and his voice was chilling, with a Tang Hengdao with a gold ring and a dragon and phoenix ring on his waist, and his slender fingers rested casually on the handle.

But the most eye-catching thing is the pair of eyes behind the other party's crimson ghost mask, which are cold and deep.

"May I ask who this young master is?" Gu Kuihong waved his hand, signaling the servants on both sides to retreat. "Young master has brought so many people with you. We are afraid that our Gu family will not be able to entertain you."

But the other party ignored him and said casually:
"Young master Gu is still standing here chatting about family affairs. The grain and grass transported to the northern region made a big mistake and was taken away in one pot-Young master Gu is really calm."

This voice-

The mandarin ducks crossed their necks and were turned into red waves.

How could she forget!

After feeling the burning eyes of the other party, I only heard a cold and sinister mockery:

"Oh? Isn't this Ms. Li from the Zhaonan General's Mansion? I didn't know that the two of you are so friendly. Is it a personal relationship? Or the friendship of the elders?"

 【Easter Eggs】

  In the prehistoric times, the four seas and the eight wildernesses, nine heavens and ten lands, and immortal classes arose side by side.

  Only Taoyuan Mountain is quiet and far away from disputes.

  "Hey, little Taoist priest, what are you reading?"

  A fig fell from the sky and happened to hit him on the head.

  Li Heyan raised his head.

  A girl in red was sitting on an old locust tree outside the gymnasium, with her feet up, and raised her hand to let go of a little purple butterfly.

  "Girl, I am reading the Tao Te Ching next."

  He bowed and didn't dare to see her again.

  "Tao Te Ching—"

  She stretched it out, her slender snow-white fingers curled her long hair on the sideburns, dismissively.

  "I'll memorize this book at a glance. I see you sitting here for three days and haven't turned a page. You're so stupid."

  "Miss, I don't know, this Tao Te Ching is not enough to memorize, it is necessary."

  "Okay, okay, I don't want to talk about big things with you elm heads. Different ways, no collusion. Farewell!"

  After all, with a tap of the toe, the fiery figure disappeared without a trace.

  Only then did Li Heyan dare to look up.

  That girl is really pretty.

  Just looking up like this, I forgot a little bit of the Tao I just realized.

  He took a bite of a fig, but he didn't know where the girl picked it, it was so sweet.

  The five colors are blinding, and indeed they also include beautiful colors.

  Li Heyan sighed, and decided not to go out to read again next time.
