Chapter 259 The Sinner’s Daughter 7
He could only think about it, as if reminiscing, and responded: "Well, I can't remember much, but there is no injury on my forehead. The appearance is quite strange, but it feels familiar. Later, when I woke up, I remembered that the ancestor portrait enshrined at home was in There is a portrait of my grandfather. He told me that there was something big going on at home today, and my father would be imprisoned, and he told us to run out of the city to escape."
So tiring!
"Come here!" the other party shouted.
The Jin Yiwei who was waiting outside the door flashed to the door, took out a small notebook bound with rough-edged paper, and read clearly into the notebook word by word: "When my grandfather passed away, my granddaughter was still young and didn't know who was coming. But he said that he was his granddaughter's grandfather. He said that the Gu family would be in trouble today, that his father would be implicated in the court and imprisoned for treason, and that the Gu family would be confiscated and destroyed. After running away from the city for a year or two, my father will escape and return to the court."
Halfway through listening, Xining was already sweating profusely.
Jin Yiwei is really amazing. These words she said to the old lady in the morning were all recorded word for word.
Jin Yiwei continued: "Why is Mr. He Gu looking for you?"
The old lady's surname was He, and she was named after her husband. Even the old lady's words were written down.
At that time, they were all concubines. Except for her and the old lady, the maids were either married or had served for several years. Who was the informant that Jin Yiwei inserted?
"Gu Wanxin's grandmother has gradually woken up in Yinshi, and her mother has also woken up. Only her granddaughter is sleeping deeply..."
"My Lord" interrupted leisurely: "Okay, wait outside the door."
What followed was a suffocating silence, and Xining could even hear his heart beating violently. Before the execution, she almost fainted from nervousness. Who are these Jin Yiwei? Could it be that a bug is installed in the Gu Mansion?
Now she couldn't talk casually, the conversations were recorded, one before and after, and if she found anything fishy, she would be asked to repeat it until she died.
Often repeated hundreds of times, even the simplest answer will break down, and any truth can be told.
Xi Ning gritted her teeth. Her scalp was already numb at this time, and she said very pertinently: "Everyone knows it. Since this is the case, it proves that what the little girl said is true."
"Why are we looking for you?"
Damn it, how do I know?
Of course Xining didn't dare to say this: "Because the little girl is young and sleeps deeply."
"Why did the late Mr. Gu know?"
Damn it, how do I know?
Xining: "Maybe my grandfather has done good deeds throughout his life and my father has always been cautious in government. God has mercy on him."
"Where's the wound on Mr. Gu's forehead?"
Damn it, how do I know?
Xi Ning tried to remain calm: "My grandfather was a loyal minister, not a bad guy. Thanks to the emperor's favor, he naturally died well-dressed and his scars were hidden."
Throwing the ball back to the emperor is correct. Could it be that loyal ministers just want to show off their hair with disheveled hair and a bloody hole on their foreheads?
The other party smiled. In fact, he was a good-looking person, but his smile looked sinister and made him feel uncomfortable.
The words are still calm and deep, without any emotion, but the words are meaningful: "Miss Gu is really eloquent~"
Xining felt cold sweat coming out again, and his whole body was already dripping with sweat.
At this moment, Jin Yiwei came up with a plate containing two bowls of rice and a pair of chopsticks.
Another Jin Yiwei appeared, took out a silver needle and inserted it into the rice to test. When the silver needle did not change color, he turned around and continued waiting by the door.
Jin Yiwei came in with a plate, picked up the rice, and placed a bowl in front of the other party. But the other bowl was left untouched for the time being. He held the plate and looked at "this person".
Xining looked at the rice on the plate pitifully: "Can you do it yourself? I'm hungry!" Are you hungry? From morning to now, he has been running for his life. Except for some usual snacks and preserves in the car, there is nothing. Ate something. "My Lord" the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly hooked: "Give it to her."
Jin Yiwei picked up the rice directly from the plate and placed it in front of her, along with the chopsticks.
Every time she played something, it made her feel frightened and her muscles all over her body twitched unconsciously. This is the Jin Yiwei who kills people without batting an eye. She is fine, but the owner's reaction is too strong.
It's really hard to tolerate Jin Yiwei's service.
After swallowing, Xining asked with some caution: "Then I used it?"
This food is yours, but the other person seems to be the owner: "Use it!"
Xining picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
But the other party didn't move his chopsticks and watched her eat from the side.
Just like when you are eating, there is a wolf next to you, watching eagerly. How can anyone eat this?
Xining pretended that the other party was a vacuum and did not exist, and just ate it himself. The body owner will definitely not be able to eat it, but she must eat it, maybe this will be her last meal.
The other party looked at it for a while and suddenly asked: "Is it delicious?"
It's really strange that this sentence comes out of nowhere. Xi Ning's brows twitched. Is this rice poisoned?
Anyway, he had already eaten the poisoned food. Xining swallowed the rice in his mouth and went to pick up the vegetables: "The vegetables are cold. When you are hungry, everything tastes delicious."
"Has the eldest lady of the Gu family ever been hungry?"
Do you suspect that she is not Gu Wanxin? She has a simple taste all her life, but she has an eye and knows what the eldest daughter of the Gu family likes to eat and what she doesn't like to eat. The body owner's preferences will also affect her, and the dishes she orders are all her usual favorites.
Is this person a big-hearted person, or is it just a casual chat?
But why chat? Do you want to find something wrong in your words?
Xining felt that she became nervous when she met this Mr. Jin Yiwei.
If you are unlucky, you will still be unlucky, no matter how careful you are, it is useless. So she responded: "The Gu family has received favor from the emperor and does not dare to tolerate their children and grandchildren being too frivolous. The family education is very strict. When I was young, I was not sensible. I was punished by copying the family rules when I was jumping around. I was not allowed to eat until I finished copying them. After being punished a few times, I became quiet. , but the feeling of hunger has always remained, and I still remember it.”
As the Minister of Etiquette, the Gu family is indeed very strict in their upbringing. If they do not behave according to the rules, they will even invite an older nun who teaches etiquette in the palace to come over.
She was very casual: "Have you ever been hungry, sir?"
I regretted it after saying it, but I thought I should ask. If you don't let this adult talk, if you keep asking, sooner or later something will be discovered and the secret will be revealed.
Amidst the anxiety, the other party seemed to have recalled something. After pondering for a while, he said leisurely: "I'm hungry..."
Then he picked up the bowl and started eating the rice that was still warm. There was no answer after that.
Xining didn't ask any more questions and continued eating. This meal was really unpalatable. If she hadn't been hungry and overpowered her body, it would have been like a lump in her throat, making it difficult to swallow.
This Mr. Jin Yiwei speaks only half a sentence, and even after eating, he feels like he will kill someone if he puts down his job.
Six dishes and one soup, I ate everything. Originally she had given it to Fleur, but now Fleur had to figure out her own way for dinner. But the current situation, looking at how frightened she was just now, let alone eating, I don't know if she is still awake.
