Chapter 93 Part 2: It’s You

 

^^

 

Duke Yingguo old madam was taken aback for a moment, and her expressions gradually became cold: "That is to say, there is a rat in our house?"

 

Being able to access Gao Ke's belongings and found the opportunity to put the stuff in, obviously this was a person from Duke Yingguo Mansion, and looking at this, his status was not low. Duke Yingguo old madam suddenly felt a fire rushed to the top of her head, she didn't know what to think, and her face was very cold. She smashed her cane heavily, her eyes were frosty, her tone was fierce, and she immediately showed the style of Duke Yingguo’ madam, who had been through ups and downs for fifty years: "Where is that sachet?"

 

"Already given to Yan Wang." Gao Ke paused then added, "But the geese will leave a mark, no matter how secretly it was done, they will leave traces. If old madam look for it from inside the mansion, should be able to find some clues."

 

Duke Yingguo old madam smiled coldly and said: "If I find this person, whatever their status or face, dare to use the entire Duke Yingguo Mansion as a raft, I will not spare them."

 

Gao Ke's eyebrows moved, the corners of his mouth twitched extremely lightly, bowed his head and kept silent.

 

A few days later, in the name of visiting Lin Wei Xi, Duke Yingguo old madam came to Yan Wang Mansion to plead for the junior herself. The old madam thought, women should be easier to talk to, also Lin Wei Xi was pregnant, and her heart should be softer. It was much easier to find Lin Wei Xi to plead than to find Yan Wang.

 

It was a pity that the old madam could not see Lin Wei Xi. Gu Hui Yan asked people to stop Duke Yingguo Mansion’s people and said: "She has been raising her fetus these few days. She cannot be disturbed and will not see outsiders."

 

The stone in Duke Yingguo old madam’s heart get heavier. She heard that the female officials that Empress Dowager Qian ordered to visit were also stopped by Yan Wang. Their family was no more than a dukedom, how could they expected to be the exception? Duke Yingguo old madam was deeply distressed. She put up a smile and asked in a good voice, "This old body was negligent to disturb Wangfei, wonder if Wangfei is getting better these past few days? This old body has brought some secret prescriptions for fetal care. This old body heard it from someone who has search for it all over the world for many years, and bring it to Wangfei to seek peace of mind."

 

An old family like this always had such a treasure. After all, Duke Yingguo old madam had lived for so many years, and the secret recipes accumulated over the years couldn’t be underestimated. Gu Hui Yan did not refuse, his eyes lightly clicked on the cloth presented by the old madam, and the attendant on the side lowered his head to take the cloth. Gu Hui Yan took the cloth and unfolded it to look at it, and then slowly rolled it up, his voice was not hurried: "People come, call Shizi and Shizi Consort here."

 

Duke Yingguo old madam failed to understand. For some reason there was an ominous premonition in her heart: "Yan Wang, you this..."

 

"The old madam paid a special visit. This intention I receive it on behalf of Wangfei, but the old madam doesn't have to rush to see Wangfei. If you want to say something, it’s enough to tell me." Gu Hui Yan even smiled slightly when he said this, "It’s just, I also want to ask the old madam about something face to face."

 

Duke Yingguo old madam’s heart jumped, she had a premonition that something seemed to be beyond her control, and once it gets started there’s no stopping it.

 

Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran rushed over quickly. Gu Cheng Yao's eyes swept across the hall. His eyes flitted across Gao Ke, Duke Yingguo old madam and others, but it didn't stop there. His eyes immediately looked to Gu Hui Yan and saluted: "Father."

 

Gao Ran also followed to salute. The corner of her eyes swept to Yan Wang’s people that closed the door to the house, the inside of the hall inevitably became dimmer. Gao Ran's heart jumped, and her limbs suddenly felt heavier than ever.

 

What does Yan Wang mean?

 

"A few days ago, Gao Ke handed me a sachet, suspecting that there is a problem with the spices in it. The past few days I asked people to ask at Longxi Racecourse, and indeed inside it was added a unique fodder."

 

Duke Yingguo old madam’s heart thumped, her throat became dry, and she could hardly speak: "Dare to ask Yan Wang, what is the result?"

 

"This kind of fodder is unique to Langxi. It looks very similar to ordinary forage, so it’s easy to mistakenly eaten by horses. Later people will give horses this kind of hay before the horse race in order to stimulate the mount, so that the horse will be more powerful in the short term. The sachet that Gao Ke gave me was stuffed with this kind of hay."

 

Gu Hui Yan's voice was faint, but the old madam was almost scared to death when she listened. Gao Ke was assassinated by someone, there was no doubt, but would Yan Wang believe it? What if Yan Wang thought that Gao Ke or Duke Yingguo Mansion deliberately added this to the sachet?

 

Duke Yingguo old madam was very agitate that she stood up directly to her cane: "Yan Wang, Gao Ke has just been admitted to Juren, at such a young age he has a good future. Yan Wangfei has the kindness of recognizing his worth and he has no reason to harm Wangfei. It must be someone who want to frame him, deliberately adding stuff to Gao Ke's sachet on the day Wangfei went out to worship the Buddha."

 

Gao Ke glanced backwards, and said coldly, "If the horse is only agitated, it may not run in the direction of the womenfolk. Yan Wangfei was frightened, in fact, because someone used another spice, and the horse followed this scent to go over, then will injure the people at Yan Wangfei’s side."

 

The old madam turned her head in surprise: "Gao Ke, what are you talking about?"

 

Obviously the old madam also connected the dot. Who could stand upright behind Lin Wei Xi and always lead the direction of the scent, besides daughter-in-law Gao Ran, who was the better candidate?

 

However, Gao Ke never said these words in their house. The old madam felt cold in her heart. She only thought that someone wanted to harm Gao Ke, and Gao Ke handed over all the evidence to Yan Wang for investigation. Only then she felt relieve to let Yan Wang collect the evidence, and brought the juniors personally to visit. But she didn't know about this leading scent thing. If the old madam knew, how could she let Yan Wang continue to investigate?

 

Gao Ke nodded to the old madam. Although he lowered his eyes, his voice did not have much apology: "These things presumably Yan Wang already found out. This junior admire Yan Wang and trust Yan Wang's decision, so no matter what Yan Wang does, this juniors will bear the order."

 

Gao Ke didn't say these words in their mansion, of course to guard against Duke Yingguo old madam. When the family and heir have different perspectives, Duke Yingguo’s husband and wife would want to preserve the whole family, especially if it the third miss Gao Ran who married into Yan Wang Mansion, and might gave birth to Yan Wang Mansion’ di grandson. If they learn about this, it was hard to guarantee that they will not try to hide it for the sake of Gao Ran. But what Gao Ke must do was to never suffer.

 

Duke Yingguo old madam did not expect Gao Ke to give her such a hand. Over here the Duke Yingguo Mansion’s people was not peaceful, and on the other side of the hall, Gu Cheng Yao turned his head extremely slowly, looking at Gao Ran in disbelief: "It's you?"

 

TN: I love the title, It’s you?! It’s so dramatic.
