597 I just feel that he’s turned over a new leaf
As soon as they left the cell, grandma Gu brought Gu Xin and Gu Nian to look for Lu Zheng.
“Uncle Chuan, is aunt LAN alright? I’m still quite worried about her in the middle of the night. I’ve seen niannian and Xinxin’s Kung Fu, so I’m not worried.” Mrs. Li accompanied Grandpa Gu back.
no problem. It’s good that she’s going. She was very familiar with the prefecture when she was young! Grandpa Gu said.
“Uncle Chuan, why did you suddenly think of looking at the dead body?” Mrs. Li asked again.
Looking at the corpse and finding new clues was a very difficult task.
“I’ve seen the coroner in the magistrate’s office a few times, and he loves to drink. I believe that second brother and his wife didn’t have the intention to kill him, so it must be the other party’s problem. Maybe the coroner didn’t do the autopsy carefully. I’ve been sick for a long time, and ah Yuan’s grandmother has a lot of medical books. Actually, I wanted to take a look at the corpse and ask if it was possible that Auntie Liu died of a sudden illness, but who knew that Xinxin’s eyes were sharp and found the problem on her face.” Grandpa Gu explained.
“So it’s like this! You don’t say, Xinxin is really smart and quick-witted.” Mrs. Li nodded and said, ” brother shouxin loves his daughter so much that he even investigated eighteen generations of her ancestors. Ordinary people can’t do this.
“Second brother did something foolish a few years ago and wants to make it up to the two children! When second brother was a teenager, he studied well and was smart. It was not surprising that he could think of this through his twins. When he was studying, he had the passion of a teenager and would often go to the Yamen to listen to the county Magistrate trying cases. Back then, the county Magistrate of our Taoyuan County was also a capable man. As long as it was a case handled by him, there was not a single case of injustice.” Grandpa Gu thought of Gu shouxin’s childhood again.
When Gu shouxin was young, he was really good in the eyes of outsiders. He studied well, was smart, and knew manners. If it wasn’t for Xie jiaonian’s incident, he would at least be a County Magistrate now.
Therefore, the old couple had never suspected that their son had been worn by someone else. They just felt that he had turned over a new leaf.
……
grandma, Xinxin, wait for me here. I’ll go! When they arrived outside the Xu family’s house, Gu Nian looked at the height of the courtyard wall and said, ”
“Be careful,” Grandma Gu held Gu Xin’s hand and instructed her.
Gu Nian leaped onto the wall and peeked inside.
Xue Qianyu was hiding in a big tree. When he saw Gu Nian, he jumped down from the tree and walked over.
“Why are you here?” Xue Qianyu asked.
“Where’s Zhou Yuan?” Gu Nian looked around but did not see anyone.
“He followed Xu Changfeng.” Xue qianxun said.
“Come with me! Let’s go down and talk!” Gu Nian nodded.
As she turned around, she suddenly slipped. Xue Qianyu grabbed her and said, ” “Be careful!”
After Gu Nian had steadied himself, he let go of her without any further actions.
“Many thanks! Let’s go down!” Gu Nian patted her chest and almost fell.
The two of them jumped off the wall and walked to grandma Gu and Gu Xin’s side.
Gu Nian told Xue Qianyu about what Gu shouxin had said and her guesses.
“Grandma Gu, does second uncle mean that the deceased is not Madam Xu Fang, but her twin sister? What we need to do now is to find Xu Fangshi?” Xue Qianyu asked in surprise.
“Yes, I am. Niannian, Xinxin, and I came to find you because we planned to split up. Go with Yuan to the city gate and ask if there were any Xu family carriages passing by today.” Grandma Gu said.
With Xue Qianyu around, he would be able to get the answers he wanted.
