Hearing the words "kill and silence", all the guests started to burst into an uproar, and they all said anything.

Some people say that the couple wouldn't be so crazy as to kill their first wife. After all, they couldn't take advantage of Gu Deyin's death, so why bother?

Unexpectedly, this statement immediately attracted refutation from some women.

"Do men and women need a reason to kill people? Maybe it's an eyesore to Mrs. Xu, so let's just get rid of them. Wouldn't it be more convenient for them to have an affair? Poor Mistress Xu was harmed by them at a young age..."

As soon as this statement came out, the first wives present couldn't help but nod. They all felt the same way. After all, when a man changes his mind, everything will change accordingly.

Someone was going to ask an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat Gu Deyin immediately. Gu Deyin could not be killed in vain.

Xu Ningyu also looked anxious. He wanted to get close to Gu Deyin to see what was going on, but both Gu Deyin's maids and the female guests who came to attend the wedding stopped him unanimously, not allowing him to approach Gu Deyin, saying that he was a suspect.

He was immediately shocked, especially when he was suspected of killing his wife and silencing her confession, he even screamed that he was wronged. Unfortunately, no one listened to his cry of injustice, and they all said that he was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Immediately, he was speechless.

Liu Ruohe, who wanted to take the opportunity to escape, was also stopped. No matter what she said, those who stopped her would not listen. In short, she could not leave.

Looking at the turbulent situation, she felt extremely uneasy and could only bite her lips and stay where she was.

When she heard others accusing her of being a murderer, she also cried out, but no one listened to her either.

The more Xu heard, the more something was wrong. At this moment, she couldn't care less about why Gu Deyin's poison spread so quickly. If she didn't stop the rumors from spreading, the consequences would be disastrous.

So, she pushed Mrs. Qiao and the maid away and hurriedly rushed into the crowd.

"Everyone, please give in. Don't get excited yet. Listen to what I have to say..."

After all, Mrs. Xu was the Marquis of Xuanning and the mistress of the Xu family. All the guests stopped and whispered to make way for her.

She walked in with tears in her eyes, first checked Gu Deyin's condition, and then said with a relieved look.

"My wife here is just feeling unwell during the change of seasons. This is proven by the evidence. She just vomited blood in excitement. She was not poisoned as everyone speculated. Please be patient..."

Someone in the crowd immediately retorted.

"The ones who stole people are your son and eldest daughter-in-law. As a mother-in-law, of course you are talking in favor of your son. Don't believe her. This kind of old godly woman is the best at this."

Obviously, this is the daughter-in-law who has suffered a lot from her mother-in-law, and knows that she cannot believe a word of Mrs. Xu's words.

However, most of the people present were mothers-in-law. They did not say anything anymore, and they also stopped their daughter-in-law from getting involved in this matter again, so as not to cause any trouble.

When Mrs. Xu said this, she had settled everything. They were both mothers-in-law, so who didn’t understand whom?

Besides, which company doesn’t have some shady things?

So this group of people will empathize with her.

Sure enough, the scene was not as exciting as before, and her expression became a little more righteous.

"My son has indeed done something scandalous. This is because I, the mother-in-law, did not teach him well. Later, the Xu family will open an ancestral hall to severely punish him. I will never let my second daughter-in-law suffer all the injustice."

It sounds nice, but severe punishment is just an internal matter within the Xu family. By then, it will most likely be a fool's errand.

The older people on the court are all very smart. After the initial impulse to uphold justice, they have returned to their senses and do not want to wade into troubled waters. They have restrained the juniors not to make mistakes.

They have no room to comment on other people's household affairs.

All the juniors sympathized with the unconscious Gu Deyin, but they did not dare to disobey their elders, so they had to keep silent.

Mrs. Xu took control of the situation and felt relieved that it finally didn't develop in the worst direction.

Xu Zhilan, who was hiding in the crowd, also breathed a sigh of relief. When the crowd was excited just now, she was really afraid that she would get burned, so she didn't even dare to raise her head and could only stand back and watch. Sure enough, Jiang was still too old. She quietly stepped back and went to find out how Gu Deyin became poisonous so quickly. This was not in line with her expectations.

But as soon as she walked on her front foot, something happened to her back foot.

Mrs. Xu was about to see off the guests and when she closed the door to deal with the matter, another group of people came in large numbers. When she saw the guard of honor, she screamed in her heart.

Why is the evil star Princess Yuanjia here again?

Why did you choose to come at this hour today?

She wanted to stop it, but for a moment she had no excuse, and she was so anxious that she lost her mind.

Princess Yuanjia had already passed through the crowd. She looked around first, and then found her sister Gu lying in the arms of the maid, and her clothes were still stained with blood. Her expression immediately changed.

Taking three steps and two steps at a time, she rushed forward, pushed Xu out of the way, squatted down, looked at Gu Deyin, and called anxiously.

"Sister Gu, sister Gu, wake up, what is going on?"

As soon as she knew Sister Gu was sick, she immediately came to visit her. Did she not expect to see such a scene?

With a furious look on her face, she immediately asked, "What happened to Sister Gu? Who will explain to me what exactly happened?"

Princess Yuanjia is the top noblewoman in the capital, and even if you want to curry favor with her, you can't find a chance.

Now that he saw an opportunity in front of him, some people, regardless of the face of the Xuanning Hou Mansion, stepped forward to explain the cause and effect to the little princess, so as to win the princess's attention.

After hearing the general process, Princess Yuanjia immediately turned her head and glared at Xu Ningyu and Liu Ruohe, she narrowed her eyes and said.

"If I find out that it was you two who killed Sister Gu, I will definitely not let you two bitches off lightly."

"Princess, it is clear that I have been wronged..."

Liu Ruohe hugged the child and immediately knelt down to cry out. At this moment, she regretted extremely. Why did she have to choose today to have a tryst with Xu Ningyu?

"Did I let you speak?"

Princess Yuanjia is domineering and authentic.

Liu Ruohe immediately opened her mouth and did not dare to say anything, for fear that the little princess would be punished if she got angry.

Xu Ningyu knelt on the ground in cold sweat, not daring to quibble or cry out. At this moment, he began to regret having an affair with Liu Ruohe. It was not worth spending everything on him for a woman.

Princess Yuanjia said directly, "Mr. Xuan."

Not only that, she also ordered the Xu family to be sealed off, and no one else was allowed to come and go at will. As for the guests who wanted to leave, they had to register first.

But not many of the guests chose to leave, and most of them wanted to stay and watch the aftermath, and of course they wanted to take the opportunity to get close to the little princess.

Xu and other members of the Xu family were squeezed into a corner. It was obviously intentional by Princess Yuanjia's servants to keep them under separate supervision.

This time Mrs. Qiao had no intention of laughing at Mrs. Xu, even she felt that the situation was serious.

The imperial doctor came very quickly, and it was obvious that he usually served the little princess.

At this time, Gu Deyin had moved to the back room to settle down, separated by a screen, so that outsiders could not peep at will.

Princess Yuanjia and several married women sat aside.

The imperial doctor did not dare to hesitate and quickly stepped forward to diagnose Gu Deyin's pulse.

In order to appear solemn, he examined the left hand and then the right back. After a while, he said calmly.

"Reporting to the princess, Second Mistress Xu is indeed poisoned."
