Chapter 47
Gu Qingyuan was not in a hurry. He looked at the script and drank tea while leisurely waiting for Ah Cai to speak.

At this time, Ningdong stood up at the right time to persuade Ah Cai: "I advise you, it's better to tell the truth."

"It's one thing to peel off the skin or not. The main thing is that it hurts and tortures me. Life is worse than death, don't you think?"

"Besides, if you keep it a secret for your master, does your master care about your life or death?"

"It won't be that simple if my lady finds out. You are just an insignificant servant. Do you think your master will go out of his way to save you?"

"If she steps forward to save you, that doesn't mean she admits it."

"So, even if you don't tell me, you won't escape death, and your end will be so miserable."

"If you take the initiative to confess now, while my lady is in a good mood, I might be able to let you go, but my lady doesn't like to wait. If she gets annoyed, then you..."

Ah Cai shivered all over, tears fell uncontrollably, and he made up his mind: "I will say, I will say."

"Well, if you're willing to speak, let's talk about it."

Ah Cai sobbed twice. He didn't want to betray Gu Liangyue, but in this situation he could only protect himself. After all, falling into the hands of the eldest lady was much more terrifying than being beaten and scolded by Gu Liangyue.

"I'm sent by the second lady."

"I am a coachman in the mansion. I usually like to drink and go to gambling houses."

After hearing this, everyone present knew why Gu Liangyue was able to control Ah Cai. Gambling is harmful.

"go on."

"I lost all my money and owed a lot of debt. I was chased by people from the gambling house. It was the second lady who saved me and helped me pay off my gambling debt. She said that as long as I help her, I will be able to gamble in the future." Help me out."

"That's why I came to the eldest lady's yard. I have said everything that should be said and should not be said. Please let me go, eldest lady!"

"I don't dare anymore, never again!" Ah Cai knelt on the ground and slapped himself in the face frantically.

He wants nothing now but to survive.

Gu Qingyuan's phoenix eyes moved slightly and she twirled her fingers. Gu Liangyue was really brave. He even dared to use gambling dogs. It was hard to say whether he would be able to escape from gambling dogs in the future. However, it depends on Gu Liangyue's character. , even if Ah Cai was not discovered, he might not be able to survive in Gu Liangyue's hands.

It just so happened that she hadn't thought of a reason to ask Gu Liangyue to get it back after what happened to Jiuwan Temple last time, so she sent it to her door first.

"You really want to live?"

Ah Cai nodded crazily when he heard this: "Yes! As long as you don't kill me, I can do whatever you want me to do, Miss!"

"But it seems you haven't told me why Gu Liangyue asked you to come to my yard?"

"The second lady didn't say what she was going to do. She just asked me to keep an eye on you and tell her about your situation at any time."

Thinking of what Wu Xi had told her before, Yu Niang told Wu Xi that Gu Liang Yue wanted to steal something from her. It seemed to be some kind of bead, but Yu Niang didn't know exactly what it was, nor did she know when Gu Liang Yue would take action.

bead?The first thing Gu Qingyuan thought of was the Pan Meng Pearl. The last time Gu Liangyue appeared in the gambling house, it was probably because of the Pan Meng Pearl. But is this Pan Meng Pearl of any use to Gu Liangyue?

"Okay, I know what you said."

Ah Cai rubbed his hands after hearing this and asked excitedly: "Then, Miss, can I go?"

Gu Qingyuan's phoenix eyes flashed, Qian Qiansu waved her hand, and her lips parted lightly: "Why are you so anxious? Ningdong, go get the South Sea Pearl from my cabinet."

"And that bottle of medicine."

"Yes."

"Miss, do you have any other instructions?"

Gu Qingyuan took the medicine bottle handed over by Ningdong and threw it to Ah Cai. Ah Cai caught it in a hurry: "What are you doing?"

"Open it and eat one." Ah Cai gritted his teeth, poured out one whole pill and swallowed it wholeheartedly: "Miss, what is this?"

Gu Qingyuan played with the South Sea Pearl without raising her head: "It's nothing, it's just poison."

"Poison!" Ah Cai hurriedly raised his throat and tried to spit out what he had just eaten.

"Don't waste your efforts. This medicine melts when it meets water and has already penetrated into your body."

"I will give you the antidote after you complete your mission. Don't worry, you can live for at least two days."

After taking all the medicine, Ah Cai had no choice but to follow Gu Qingyuan's instructions and complete the task so that he could get the antidote as soon as possible.

"When you go back, tell Gu Liangyue that I will not be at the General's Mansion tomorrow and will go to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion with my mother. Do you understand?"

"Remember not to let her notice that you are injured."

"Understood, understood."

Ah Cai's injury was bandaged and he left.

The thin tassels hanging from Gu Qingyuan's temples swayed with a soft halo, and she picked up the South Sea beads to look at them in the sunlight.

Not long after, Wu Xi quietly appeared in front of Gu Qingyuan.

"Now, Wu Xi, put this South Sea Pearl in Gu Liangyue's house so that she doesn't find it." Gu Qingyuan still believed in Wu Xi's ability.

Wu Xi took over and disappeared into the yard without even saying a word to her.

Gu Qingyuan sighed, Wu Xi's cold expression did not even say a word to her master, what would happen in the future.

……

The next day.

After receiving a letter from Wu Xi, Ah Cai honestly told Gu Liangyue what Gu Qingyuan had told him.

As she expected, Gu Liangyue immediately decided to send someone to Gu Qingyuan's yard to steal the Mengzhu the next day.

Gu Qingyuan ordered someone to ambush in the courtyard in advance, and then took Xie back to the Pingnan Marquis Mansion to visit his grandfather and Xie Yan.

Time passed quickly, and it was almost dark, so Gu Qingyuan returned to the general's mansion.

Gu Liangyue couldn't sit still even more when she learned that she had returned home, and she didn't know what was going on with Fan Ling. She wasn't worried that Fan Ling would betray her if he was caught. She was still sure of this. She was worried. It was because Fan Ling couldn't get the Panmeng Pearl that Gu Qingyuan became suspicious. It would be difficult to get it again in the future.

Gu Qingyuan looked coldly at the man lying on the ground, lifeless with blood pouring from the corner of his mouth.

"I'm out of breath."

When Gu Qingyuan came back, before she could order someone to interrogate Fan Ling, the man bit his tongue and committed suicide.

"The person is dead, what should I do now, young lady?"

Gu Qingyuan closed her eyes and exhaled: "It's okay, I remember that Wu Xi knows the art of disguise, right?"

"Yes."

"Go find a secret guard who is similar in size to this person. You guys can search him to see if there is anything on him that proves his identity."

If Gu Qingyuan guessed correctly, this person should be a secret guard that Gu Liangyue trusted very much.

Gu Liangyue looked at the darkening sky and had a bad premonition in her heart. Fan Ling must have failed if he didn't come back so late, and it was more likely to be a disaster...

Thinking of this, Gu Liangyue suddenly threw the tea cup in her hand and made a loud noise: "Trash! Trash! A group of trash who can only succeed but fail!"
