Xie Heng looked over, with obvious impatience in his eyes.
"Changshun's wife poisoned you, and now that she is dead, are you still holding on to her?
Besides, you weren't actually harmed, so why don't you act like a victim? "
A look of anger appeared on Gu Nanli's face.
"Your Majesty, what you said is really ridiculous. Do you think that if you catch Prince Jing and me in bed and have sex, and lose our virginity, it will be considered as real harm?
Or is it that the prince is very disappointed that he didn't catch the adulterer in bed? "
"Presumptuous." Xie Heng's forehead veins were slightly exposed, his expression was furious.
"Gu Nan, because of the injustice you have suffered, I have tolerated you again and again, so don't push yourself further.
I'll say it again, today's matter is over now. If you continue to struggle, don't blame me for being rude. "
Gu Nan's heart surged with anger.
"Xie Heng, do you think that since Changshun's wife is dead, I can only live with this grievance?"
Xie Heng said nothing, but the pride and pride in his eyes were self-evident.
Changshun's wife is dead and Gu Nan has no witnesses. Even if she really goes to the Yushitai, no one will believe what she says.
The suffocating feeling that Gu Nan had pinched his throat before finally dissipated.
Gu Nan understood the meaning in his eyes and smiled angrily.
"I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. I, Gu Nan, will not swallow any grievances hard, especially the grievances caused by you, Xie Heng."
What's the meaning?
Xie Heng had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Gu Nan, what are you going to do?"
Gu Nan sneered, turned and left.
Xie Heng grabbed her arm and asked urgently, "Speak clearly."
Gu Nan shook off his hand and gave him a cold look.
"Xie Heng, the way you jump over the wall is really disgusting."
Gu Nan fluttered his sleeves and left.
Xie Heng was stunned for a moment before he realized that Gu Nan was calling him a dog.
The dog jumped over the wall when he was anxious.
"Gu Nan."
Xie Heng roared and wanted to chase Gu Nan.
He met Princess Huaiyang who came in a hurry after getting the news.
Seeing Xie Heng like this, Princess Huaiyang looked at the woodshed behind her that was burned to ashes.
"Why are you so angry? Didn't people burn to death?"
Without waiting for Xie Heng to answer, he couldn't help but talk.
"You are only twenty years old, and you haven't experienced anything, so your mother said it was inappropriate for you to have an accident.
If I had known earlier, I should have arranged this matter instead of leaving it to you. "
"Mother."
Xie Heng interrupted Princess Huaiyang dissatisfied.
"The person was burned to death and has been properly dealt with."
Princess Huaiyang looked suspicious, "Then why are you so angry?"
Xie Heng choked up and was embarrassed to say that he was angry with Gu Nan, so he spoke vaguely.
"Anyway, this matter has been dealt with, mother, don't worry."
Princess Huaiyang hummed and whispered to Xie Heng.
"Gu Nan has no witnesses, so even if the matter is covered up, she won't be able to find out more about it no matter how much trouble she makes.
No matter how well mother helps you plan the attack on the king, you can coax Gu Nan and get back the village, shop and money we took out. "
Xie Heng felt very divided.
It was always Gu Nan who took the initiative to give him money. Did he have to lower his profile to coax Gu Nan this time?
Princess Huaiyang looked at her son's handsome face and smiled.
"My son is very handsome. As long as you are willing to lower your body and coax Gu Nan with a few words, I guarantee that she will be coaxed around by you.
Once we get her dowry back, we will bring Yunshang in. "
Xie Heng's face looked a little ugly when he thought of Gu Nan vomiting all over him last night.
Gu Nan returned to Songxuetang, where the mother-in-law in the yard had already prepared breakfast.
She had no appetite, so she only drank a bowl of porridge and then put down her chopsticks, thinking about what to do next.
Ruyi said: "Fortunately, the girl had the foresight to leave the confession of Changshun's wife."
Gu Nan smiled bitterly.
"Silly girl, Changshun's wife is dead, and there is no way to verify the confession. When the time comes, Xie Heng can completely blame Changshun's wife.
The reason why he wanted to burn Changshun's wife to death was because he wanted to die without any evidence.
I was just pretending to be calm in front of Xie Heng just now, not wanting him to be too proud. "
Ruyi panicked, "Ah? What should we do? Do we really have to swallow this grievance alive?"
Gu Nan rubbed his brow and sighed.
The peach blossom mist caused her to lose her virginity to King Jing. If this incident really happened, the first thing that would be ruined would be her reputation.
She kept Changshun's wife just to gain more leverage for her future divorce.
Now that the person is dead, we can only think about it in the long term.
"Find a mother-in-law to take more care of her children in private, and find an opportunity to transfer them to my village to raise them."
Since he promised Changshun's wife, Gu Nan would not break his promise.
At this time, Ruhua came back from outside.
She put out the fire all night, her body was covered with water and black ash, and even her little face was charred.
Ruyi frowned, "Why didn't you change your clothes and come to wait for the girl?"
Ruhua stuck out her tongue and said, "Girl, Chen Li is waiting outside. He said he has something important to report."
"Let him in."
After a while, a tall man with a dark face came in from outside. He looked to be in his early twenties.
Before Chen Li entered the door, he knelt and kowtowed in the corridor.
"The villain Chen Li has met the girl."
Gu Nan saw that the coarse clothes on his body were stained with water and charred ash, and knew that he had come back from the woodshed.
"Come in and talk."
Chen Li rubbed his hands and shook his head cautiously.
"No, the little guy is dirty, don't make the girl's house dirty."
Ruhua rolled her eyes and gave Chen Li a careless tug.
"The girl asked you to come in, so you come in and talk. It's a grown man's house, so don't be coy."
Chen Li entered the door, but did not dare to go inside. He just stood at the door and answered politely.
"Don't worry, girl, Changshun's wife is not dead."
Gu Nan was so shocked that she suddenly sat up straight, and quickly told Ruhua to go to the corridor to guard her, and then asked in a low voice:
"What happened? Where is Changshun's wife now?"
Chen Li's dark face was full of annoyance.
"Last night, the villain was given sweat medicine in his meal, and he fell asleep due to the poison. When he was pushed awake later, the fire was already burning.
The villain wanted to rush in and rescue the person, but then someone rushed out of the fire scene in the darkness, carrying Changshun's wife who was knocked unconscious on his back.
The villain thought that he was sent by the prince, so he fought with him. The villain was ashamed that he had never beaten him.
The man gave this to the villain before he left. "
Chen Li took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over.
Although the clothes were quite wet from the water, the letter paper was not stained with water at all, which shows that it was carefully preserved.
Gu Nan opened the letter paper, and there was only one line of writing on it. The writing was bold, powerful, and slightly sloppy, which showed that it was written in a hurry.
After she read the content clearly, she paused, a strange blush suddenly appeared on her face, and she suddenly dropped the letter on the table.
Ruyi was startled, "What happened to the girl? Who wrote the letter?"
Gu Nan calmed down and said, "It's okay, he's the one helping us."
She turned to Chen Li and asked, "Since Changshun's wife was taken away, who was burned to death in the fire?"
Chen Lida said: "It's Changshun. After the man left, the villain saw Changshun who was knocked unconscious behind the woodshed.
The villain thought that these despicable people who killed their wives for glory were really hateful, and he was afraid that the prince would find no one in the fire scene, so he threw Changshun in. "
So that's it.
"You have done a good job in this matter, please don't tell anyone about it."
Gu Nan also ordered Ruyi to give Chen Li twenty taels of silver.
Chen Li quickly waved his hand and firmly refused to take it.
"The girl already gave fifty taels yesterday, and I deserve it. If the girl has any errands in the future, just ask the sister in the yard to call the villain."
After saying that, fearing that Gu Nan would reward him with more money, Chen Li saluted and ran away.
Ruyi was amused.
"This Chen Li is an honest man."
Turning around, he saw his girl staring at the letter in a daze, and couldn't help but curiously asked.
"Girl, what exactly is written in this letter?"
