Chapter 164 Interrogation of Xiao Sanyuan
Chapter 164 Interrogation of Xiao Sanyuan
In the Fuguang Courtyard of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion, because of the arrival of the Empress Dowager and Concubine Lan, everyone in the mansion was waiting in the courtyard. Only Liu Tianshu was waiting in the room with the Empress Dowager and Concubine Lan.
"Ah..."
"Ah..."
"Ah..."
Liu Tianshu sneezed three times in a row, and her feet involuntarily moved away from the Queen Mother and Concubine Lan.
The Queen Mother did not miss this scene and was even more satisfied with Liu Tianshu.
At the same time, I sighed in my heart.
"Xiao Sanyuan, you have always been by your master's side. Tell me, how did he get injured today? Who hurt him?"
"Queen Mother..."
Xiao Sanyuan knelt respectfully before the empress dowager and told her everything about their sudden return to the capital today, what he heard about Aunt Liu on the street, and what happened later when Gu Jinyun had a conflict with the young master.
As soon as Xiao Sanyuan finished speaking, Concubine Lan angrily said, "You mean that Concubine Liu has no self-discipline and seduced men outside, and even caused the Marquis to be beaten by his adulterer?"
Facing Concubine Lan's questioning, Xiao Sanyuan said truthfully: "Madam, neither I nor the young marquis know what happened before, but Concubine Liu did get off the young master's carriage."
"What a shameless bitch."
Concubine Lan slammed the table in anger.
"I...if she hadn't seduced my Yun'er, she would have had no chance of entering the Marquis' Mansion with her status as a concubine.
Since she has married into the family, she should have stayed at home and raised children for Yun'er, but she chose to go out and couldn't even protect her own child. Now, not only is she shamelessly seducing a man from outside, she also lets him beat me up... Yun'er..."
At this point, Concubine Lan suddenly covered her hands with a handkerchief and started crying.
"Aunt, no matter how wrong it is, it's all the fault of that little devil. You must stand up for Yun'er."
Gu Jinyun was beaten up when he just went out for a trip. Until now, the imperial physician has not given an accurate explanation. The empress dowager is also anxious, but she is not as impatient as Concubine Lan.
Patting Concubine Lan's hand in a soothing manner, the Queen Mother reminded her, "Okay, that girl Liu Tian'er can't run away. The most important thing for us now is to find the person who hurt Yun'er..."
"Aunt is right."
Concubine Lan glared at Xiao Sanyuan.
"Tell me quickly, who is the guy who injured the young marquis? I will cut him and his family into pieces."
Concubine Lan's gaze was so frightening that Xiao Sanyuan's legs trembled with fear. However, everything happened so fast that he didn't even remember what the young man looked like.
I only remember that the young man was about the same age as his master, dressed in white, and looked handsome...
"explain……"
Before Xiao Sanyuan could answer, Concubine Lan shouted, "Xiao Sanyuan, the Marquis's Mansion does not keep useless servants. If you don't even know who hurt your master, there is no point in keeping you as a servant."
"Your Majesty, I have never seen that young man before. I don't know where he comes from. But seeing that he is well-dressed and wearing a white jade crown on his head, he should be of a prominent family..."
After hearing Concubine Lan's threat, Xiao Sanyuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
"Useless thing. You have followed your master and have seen the world. If the other party is an ordinary citizen, it is understandable that you have never seen him..."
"Don't worry..."
The Queen Mother stopped the angry Concubine Lan, thought of something, and asked someone to prepare writing brushes and ink.
After hearing the empress dowager's instructions, Liu Tianshu went to prepare personally. In just half a cup of tea, she had prepared all the writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone.
The Queen Mother was not an expert at painting, but years of luxury had allowed her to learn certain basics of painting, and with just a few simple strokes she sketched a handsome man who looked like a banished immortal.
"Xiao Sanyuan, come and take a look, is this the one?"
"No."
After carefully examining the painting, Xiao Sanyuan shook his head and said, "Although the man who injured the Marquis was also good-looking, he was not as handsome as this young master."
Hearing Xiao Sanyuan's words, the Queen Mother was visibly relieved.
Have someone prepare a brazier so that the painting just now will be turned into ashes.
"As long as it's not this person, no one can bully my Yun'er."
After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she ordered, “Find all the famous portrait artists in the capital. I want to see who is so bold as to attack the young marquis.”
Liu Tianshu was sitting in the carriage at the time and did not go out, so naturally she had never seen the man, but that didn't mean she didn't want to help him.
After hearing the Queen Mother's order, he turned around and went outside to tell people to go find someone.
The royal family was looking for someone, and no one dared to be negligent, so hundreds of people began to take action.
Liu Tianshu didn't care how those people outside went to find the portrait artist. When Xiao Sanyuan was taken away, she just secretly gave a wink to Mingyi who was hiding in the dark.
After receiving instructions from Liu Tianshu, Mingyi quietly followed Xiao Sanyuan away.
At that time, there were many people on the street who saw Gu Jinyun being beaten. Liu Tianshu certainly did not ask Mingyi to kill people to silence them, but to add something more to the portrait when it came out.
After being master and servant for several months, even though Liu Tianshu did not say it explicitly, Mingyi knew what to do. Moreover, he knew exactly who the young man who hurt people was, and it was even more impossible for anyone to find him.
After Liu Tianshu handed the task to Ming Yi, she quickly returned to the main room of Fuguangyuan.
Just at this time, several empress dowagers came out from the inner room together.
"Dear doctors, how is the Marquis now?"
Several imperial doctors nodded at the same time, and then shook their heads at her at the same time.
These old men nodded and shook their heads, and Liu Tianshu had no idea what they wanted to express.
Fortunately, the imperial doctors did not intend to keep the question in suspense, and when they came before the Empress Dowager, they gave the answer directly.
"Queen Dowager, after our inspection, we found that the young marquis' internal organs were injured. Fortunately, the injury is not serious. Although we have already given him acupuncture to stop the bleeding, as long as he takes medicine on time and stays in bed for a few months, his life will not be in danger."
Having said that, the imperial doctors looked at Liu Tianshu with sympathy.
"Madam, the Marquis has injured his five internal organs. Remember not to have sex until the Marquis's injuries are fully recovered."
"I see."
Liu Tianshu responded with a slight blush on her cheeks.
Gu Jinyun has been in the military camp recently and has been back home less often, and has been spending even less time with his wives and concubines in the mansion.
Although he can stay in the clothing store for a few months now, he can't do anything. The Queen Mother wants to hold her great-grandson, but she has to wait.
The Queen Mother was indeed anxious for Gu Jinyun to have an heir, but his health was more important.
After instructing him to have a good rest, she went to Liu Tianshu's Wutongju with Lan Fei, and occupied the master bedroom and guest room as soon as they arrived.
With the Queen Mother and Concubine Lan around, Liu Tianshu didn't want to live here, so she had the yard next door cleaned up and moved in directly...
