Working part-time as a wife is too busy

Chapter 3: Being Poisoned
Through the delicate white gauze curtain, she can see the vermilion solid wood top of the bed with rich flowers, and the finely carved patterns on it make her feel like a lifetime away.

Turning her head slightly, there was a medicine bowl on the table at the same height as the edge of the bed, and the disgusting medicine juice inside made her want to vomit.

Hmph, she was just a little weak because of the cold, but she was given this kind of "enriched" traditional Chinese medicine. If Gu Xiaoya was a fool in the past, she might die if she drank two more bowls.

Sitting up halfway, she looked around the inner room where she was. Simple and elegant screens, tea tables, lamps, dressing tables, bronze mirrors... All these familiar and unfamiliar antique furniture made her realize that she had returned to the In his own room in the Ningyuan Hou Mansion.

Gu Xiaoya, the only concubine daughter of the former Marquis of Ningyuan Houfu, the reason why she is called "predecessor" is because when Gu Xiaoya was seven years old, her parents died in an accident on the way back from a visit to friends.

On the day when her parents' coffin was sent back to Ningyuan Hou's Mansion, Gu Xiaoya suddenly passed out, and she couldn't speak when she woke up the next day.

After that, Gu Zhanming, the second son of the old Marquis of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and Gu Xiaoya's second uncle Gu Zhanming inherited the title and became the new Marquis of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and even the brother-in-law of the current emperor.

It stands to reason that even if Gu Xiaoya's parents are dead, she is still the legitimate daughter of the Ningyuan Hou Mansion, and should be lived like a moon by all living beings.

It's a pity that this gorgeous and noble Hou's mansion can't tolerate her as an orphan. The elders ignore her and treat her as if she doesn't exist, while the brothers and sisters in the same mansion either ignore her or pour "dirty water" on her because of her dumb disease. When it came to her, even the maids and servants bullied her blatantly.

Over time, the reputation of the Fourth Miss of the Gu family in the Ningyuan Hou Mansion became more and more bad in the imperial capital, so that no one came to propose marriage after her age.

But Gu Xiaoya didn't find it strange. What she couldn't understand was why someone wants to kill her now!If someone in the Hou Mansion wanted to put her to death, why didn't they do anything for eight years?

Also, the death of Gu Xiaoya, the original client, and the deaths of Nanny Qian and Hong'er in Xiaozhuangzi were by no means accidental.

Xiaohong was hanged alive on the beam of the house. The murderer was ruthless, but his brain was not smart enough. This person wanted to pretend to be Xiaohong and hang himself, but the stool under Xiaohong's feet was far away from her feet , so it is impossible for her to step on a stool and put her neck in the hemp rope cover.

Based on this, Gu Xiaoya can conclude that Xiao Hong was murdered, and Qian Momo definitely did not fall to her death. Mother and daughter died at the same night, which is a strange thing in itself.

"Sister Zi'er, didn't Doctor Zhang say that Miss Si would wake up in two days, but she has been in a coma for three days since she was brought back from Xiaozhuangzi. Why is there no movement in the room? Could it be...death Right?" The maid outside the door said cautiously in a low voice.

"Don't talk nonsense, the second lady has already sent someone to invite Mrs. Hui Ni from Pudu Nunnery. All the people who served the fourth lady in Zhuangzi died. Even the little Zhuangzi was burned the night before yesterday. It is said that the fourth lady has a It's bad luck, I won't be a dowry maid in the wedding three days later." The maid who spoke this time had disgust and arrogance in her words.

"I don't want to be a dowry maid either, but how can we decide for ourselves. Sigh—Miss Si is also a poor person, and she still chooses to marry such a family. After this..."

"Shut up, you don't want to live anymore, don't talk about the master's affairs in the future, go!"

Just based on the voice and the impression in her mind, Gu Xiaoya in the inner room had already guessed that it was the little maids in her yard who were speaking.

However, from their brief conversation, she could probably infer a few pieces of information related to herself. First, after Qian Momo and Hong'er were killed for unknown reasons, Qing'er and Lu'er also died.

Secondly, Xiaozhuangzi was burned, maybe to destroy the evidence of the murder, or maybe it was really bad luck.

Again, someone is going to get married in three days, and this person is probably herself.

Finally, if the bride three days later is really her, then it seems that she is marrying a very bad person.

She had been in a coma for three days, but now she was very hungry. Fortunately, there were two plates of snacks on the table in the inner room, no matter when they were placed, after Gu Xiaoya got out of bed, she picked up the snacks with a clean handkerchief and ate them.

After eating two plates of snacks gracefully and quickly, she poured a cup of herbal tea and drank it contentedly, and she poured the bowl of cold medicine into the flower pot in the inner room.

After eating and drinking enough to wipe her mouth, Gu Xiaoya sat down in front of the bronze mirror. Although the bronze mirror could not see people very clearly, she had already remembered Gu Xiaoya's appearance in her mind.

If there was no conspicuous scar on her forehead, such a young girl with bright eyes, white teeth and creamy skin would definitely be a beauty.Unfortunately, not only was she disfigured, she was also a helpless mute.

Gu Xiaoya put her left hand on the pulse point under her right wrist, and then diagnosed her own pulse. As a descendant of a family of military doctors, she is proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine, whether it is silver needles or scalpels, she is even more proficient.

After diagnosing the pulse, she picked up a slender silver hairpin from a small jewelry box next to the bronze mirror, and then quickly pricked it towards the index finger of her left hand. On the silver hairpin.

As expected, a slight black appeared on the tip of the silver hairpin. Although it was not clear because of the small amount of poison, she was indeed poisoned, and it was through the bowl of medicine.

With a sneer, she began to check her throat, and pressed several acupuncture points on her body, and then recalled what happened on the day when Gu Xiaoya's parents' coffin was sent back to the Hou Mansion, she could conclude that Gu Xiaoya's dumb illness in the past eight years was actually Aphasia caused by overstimulation.

This kind of aphasia caused by psychological reasons can naturally be solved psychologically. Although she has the memory of the original client Gu Xiaoya, she is not really Gu Xiaoya, and she is not so weak that anything can stimulate her, so now as long as she Want to talk, she can talk.

"Gu Xiaoya!" After trying it calmly, she really uttered three words, although small but clear and crisp, "Go with peace of mind!"

Three days later, Gu Xiaoya was wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei and sat expressionlessly in the red silk-covered boudoir. Besides her, the newlywed, there were also busy maids and wives in the inner room.

This marriage between the Ningyuanhou's Mansion and the Rong's family of the General's Mansion was bestowed by the emperor himself, even the phoenix crown and Xiapei on Gu Xiaoya's body were also bestowed by the emperor.
