Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

After Gu Ruo sent Jiang Yueyang away, she turned around and went to her grandfather's yard.

At that time, there were already quite a few people sitting here with her grandfather.

There were her father and mother, the imperial physician, the concubine Ding, the concubine Du, and a concubine's son and daughter.

After Gu Ruo entered, she first bowed to her grandfather, father, and mother before she spoke slowly, "Grandfather, you should already know why your granddaughter is here, right?"

"Yuwei cried and said that your friend falsely accused her of tampering with your medicine and asked me to seek justice for her."

It was because of her crying that the whole family was alarmed.

Gu Ruo curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and indeed he took the initiative.

Before she even opened her mouth, Gu Yuwei's mother, Ding, acted as if she had suffered a great injustice, "Second Miss, everyone in the mansion has witnessed how our Yuwei treated you.

After she knew you were injured, she personally prepared medicine for you, applied it to you, and took care of you. How could you doubt her just because of what someone said?"

In response, Gu Ruo said calmly: "Aunt, there is no need to be so aggrieved. Ruo'er just wants to clarify. Otherwise, there will always be a knot in my heart, and I won't be able to get along with my sister freely in the future."

"Ruo'er is right. We must get to the bottom of this matter." Gu Ruo's mother, Zheng, said without giving way to rejection.

Taifu: "Doctor Chen, thank you for your help."

Since the Grand Tutor had spoken, others naturally did not dare to object.

Doctor Chen: "You are too kind, Master. It is but a simple favor."

Gu Ruo took out the ointment and fiddled with it for a while, "Actually... there's no need to test it."

Hearing this, everyone present was confused. Why was it testing sometimes and not testing sometimes?

"Ruo'er, what do you mean?"

"Grandfather, do you know who your granddaughter's friend is?"

The Grand Tutor narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's Jiang Yueyang, the daughter of Minister Jiang."

Except for the Grand Tutor and Doctor Chen, no one else understood the hidden meaning of her words.

Doctor Chen: There is no need to test it. Lord Xiao Jiang’s words cannot be false.

The Taifu's eyes were dark, and no one knew what he was thinking.

At this time, Doctor Chen stood up and said tactfully, "It's getting late. I should return to the palace to report."

"Da Lang, please send Doctor Chen off."

Doctor Chen quickly declined, "No, no, I can leave on my own."

"Doctor Chen." Gu Ruo handed him the ointment and the Nine Yang Cake wrapped in a handkerchief. "These two things contain conflicting herbs. Taking them together will produce a toxin. At the very least, it will cause a person to lose consciousness, and at the worst, it will paralyze a person in bed."

Doctor Chen widened his eyes slightly. So cruel?

He originally thought it was just a minor quarrel between the two sisters. After all, the two granddaughters of the Grand Tutor had always been very close.

When Gu Yuwei saw the Nine Yang Cake and heard what Gu Ruo said, she was completely dumbfounded.

She could hear me, she was lying to me before!

How to do?

If grandfather is... No, why didn't Gu Ruo let the imperial physician examine him?

Is it...

Before Gu Yuwei could figure it out, the Grand Tutor slammed the table and shouted, "Kneel down!"

Everyone present was frightened and shuddered, and Gu Yuwei knelt down reflexively.

"Tell me, why did you poison your own sister!"

"Grandfather, I didn't."

After much deliberation, Gu Yuwei decided to deny it. She firmly believed that the imperial physician could not find anything.

"You still don't admit it!" The Taifu's voice trembled with anger.

Gu Yuwei bit her lip and said, "Grandfather, how can I admit that I didn't poison my sister?"

"you you……"

The Grand Tutor's chest was heaving with anger. Seeing this, Gu Ruo hurried over to help him calm down, "Grandfather, please take care of yourself."

Seeing the wound on Gu Ruo's hand, the master's mood gradually calmed down, "Ruo'er, are you okay?"

Gu Ruo thought about it. Yue Yang didn’t say anything about her health, but just asked her not to use that medicine anymore.

Then there shouldn't be anything serious wrong with her body.

So, she shook her head and said, "Yue Yang gave me the medicine."

The Grand Tutor finally felt relieved and turned his attention to Gu Yuwei who was kneeling on the ground.

"You want evidence, right? I tell you, Master Xiao Jiang's words are the best evidence!"

Gu Yuwei grasped the key point, Lord Xiao Jiang?

My grandfather called that girl "Sir Xiao Jiang". Could it be that she and my grandfather were officials in the same court?

Then wouldn't she...

Gu Dalang asked, "Father, are you saying that Ruo'er's friend is the daughter of Minister Jiang, who was recently given an official position by His Majesty?"

"That's right." The Grand Tutor stared at Gu Yuwei. "How do you think His Majesty knew about Prince Rong's rebellion? It's all because of what Lord Xiao Jiang thought in his heart. It's all true!"

Gu Yuwei, who was originally kneeling upright on the ground, suddenly felt her body soften and she collapsed to the ground when she heard these words.

"Tell me, why did you poison Ruo'er!"

After listening for so long, Mrs. Ding finally understood what was going on. She hurried out and knelt down to plead, "Old Master, Yuwei must have been instigated by someone and did something so wrong in a moment of confusion. Please, for her young age, forgive her this time."

"Being provoked? Who are you trying to slander, sister? How could such a smart girl be provoked?"

Mrs. Du felt that Mrs. Ding was implying that her daughter was provoking Gu Yuwei, and she was determined not to take the blame.

"Feeling guilty? I didn't say that to you!"

Mrs. Du sneered sarcastically, "The innocent are innocent, so why would you feel guilty? But you, don't you think that's funny? The eldest girl is young, but doesn't that mean the second girl is not young?"

"That's enough!" the Grand Tutor shouted angrily, "Shut up, all of you!"

The whole audience fell silent. After a while, the Grand Tutor looked at Gu Ruo and asked, "Ruo'er, how do you want to handle this matter?"

Gu Ruo glanced at Gu Yuwei, and after a moment's silence, he said in a cold voice: "Since she wants to cripple my hand, then she will suffer the consequences."

***

On the other side, Jiang Yueyang thought that since she was already out, she might as well have a meal before going back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she got off the carriage, she ran into Bai Yan, the eldest son of the Bai family, who was also having dinner at Qingfeng Tower.

"Miss Jiang, what a coincidence."

Jiang Yueyang twitched the corner of his mouth, "It's quite a coincidence."

"I would like to meet Miss Jiang. I wonder if I can move over..."

"Master Bai." Jiang Yueyang interrupted him, "I know you want to get to know my grandfather through me, but you and I are men and women, and private contact is really inappropriate.

How about I introduce my brother to you, and you can talk to him and it will be the same. Don't worry, I'm not an ungrateful person."

At this time, the system said: [Host, there is a melon that can help you repay his favor. Do you want to listen?]

【Are you sure you can return it?】

【able! 】

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueyang immediately said to Bai Yan, "How about I do something to offset your kindness in saving me?"

Bai Yan heard his inner voice for the first time, and his mind went blank. He replied blankly, "Okay."

System: [His mother is not dead.]

"Your mother is not dead."
