C198 Infected by Liu Xinfu

"No!" Qu Ling denied it with a rigid face, then released the collar and hid her back under the blanket.

A rustling sound could be heard from behind him. Soon, his back was pressed against a cold area of his chest.

The man's deep and pleasant voice rang in his ear, "Trust me."

After a long period of silence, Qu Ling finally replied with a light "En."

Early in the morning, Xiao Jingyue went to the imperial court to fight with the civil and military officials and his wife's grandfather for wisdom and courage.

Qu Ling slept until the sun hung high in the sky, and just as he finished his breakfast, he saw Chen Linye returning.

Le Le's father had a partnership with Liu Dafu and made a lot of money. He didn't expect Le Le's father to die a few days later, leaving behind orphans and widows. Liu Da Fu swallowed all of his money. Afraid of being poked in the back, he brought the mother and son back home to settle them down and let Le Le's mother take care of his son … "It was only a year ago when Le Le Le and Liu Xingfu had a conflict. Le Le and his mother were then chased out of the Residence by Madam Liu.

Qu Ling asked in puzzlement: "So?"

Chen Linye said: "According to my investigations, the first one to suffer from consumption was Liu Xingfu."

In other words, Le Le's consumption was due to Liu Xingfu's infection.

Qu Ling understood what he meant and continued to speculate, "Liu Da Fu learned about the Soul Borrowing Gu through his own wife, who was related to the Minister's Wife, and spent a lot of money to buy it. After he bought it, he was afraid that it would be useless.

Chen Linye nodded his head and laughed: "My guess is correct."

"Since that's the case, there's no need for Liu Xingfu to save him." Qu Ling threw out the name scroll that the Liu Estate had delivered through some unknown channels, "Xiao Yi, send it back!"

Xiao Yi took the thread, but Chen Linye quickly stopped him: "Give me the thread, I will return it, and ask them who bought it from."

Qu Ling frowned and did not say a word.

With Chen Linye's identity, personally going to the Liu Estate could be considered as condescending and condescending.

Xiao saw the difficult expression on the matriarch's face and volunteered, "If it wasn't for this subordinate sending himself to my doorstep, I would have asked about this matter."

Chen Linye still wanted to speak, but he still hammered his fist into his heart, "Alright, Xiao Yi, you go."

In the end, she was the one who wanted to investigate the Soul Borrowing Gu s, so it was not good for her to let a general like Chen Linye go to a merchant's family's mansion and speak on her behalf.

Xiao Yi immediately took the name scroll away, but seeing that, Chen Linye had no choice but to give it up.

After lunch, Jiang Huo and Ah Xin brought a big box over to General Mansion.

The three of them surrounded the box and squatted in the courtyard of the Clear Wind Inn. They stuck their heads out and looked into the box.

The boxes were filled with fresh civilian trinkets, as well as some recently published textbooks.

Jiang Huo said to Qu Ling, "Ah Xin and I spent a great deal of effort to collect all of this. When you send it to Empress Aunt, don't forget to mention the two of us."

"Fine, I'll get the reward. I'll split half of it with you." Qu Ling closed the chest and walked to the stone table under the tree to sit down.

Jiang Huo followed and sat in front of Qu Ling, "I don't want the money, just give me your Hundred Insect Lake, you don't care about it."

Ah Xin already understood many of the Chinese people's words, so he said: "I also do not want silver, I heard that there are many delicious snacks in the palace, Sis, please give me some, if there are no snacks, I can make clothes for me. I heard that the clothes the empress used to make clothes in the palace are all very beautiful. "

There were only a few things that a girl of this age worried about. Besides having fun, it was eating and dressing up.

Aunt Tao carried the tea up and did not retreat. He smiled merrily and waited at the side, watching the three siblings talk.

As for Xiao Yi.

Xiao brought an invitation to the Liu residence, and after revealing her identity, was immediately invited by the servant to enter.

When Liu Dafu received the news, he rushed back from the trading firm and personally entertained Xiao Yi with his wife.

Xiao Yi did not touch the things in the Liu residence, ignoring Liu Da Fu and Madam Liu's attentive looks, he straightforwardly asked: "I received the Mrs. Xiao's order to come here and help my wife ask the two of you, where did you get the Soul Borrowing Gu from?"

"This …"

As if they hadn't expected that the person who came up from the General Mansion was actually to ask them this, Liu Da Fu and Madam Liu looked at each other and exchanged glances.

After a while, Liu Da Fu's fierce-looking face squeezed out a smile, and replied: "To be honest, I bought the Soul Borrowing Gu from a man in black. "After the goods were cleared, the man in black left. We don't know where he is right now."

Xiao Yi asked again, "How did you know about this Gu seller?"

Liu Da Fu naturally did not reveal the people from the Minister of War Palace, his face once again revealed the sly smile that belonged solely to the merchant, and said with a straight face: "Who knows where that black clothed man found out about my son's serious illness? He came to me to make a deal with me."

Xiao asked again and again, "One last question, was the Gu in Le Le's body planted by you?"

At this moment, the expressions on Liu Da Fu and Madam Liu's faces changed.

Fortunately, Liu Da Fu was used to the wind and waves, so he quickly found a way to deal with it: "The Gu in Le Le's body was indeed obtained from my hands, but it was not from me, but from Le Le's mother. "Le Le's mother begged me to save Le Le, so I gave her the soul Gu.

Pausing, he revealed an awkward expression. "I'm close friends with Le Le's father. Before he died, he asked me to be alone. I really …"

Liu Dafu stopped talking about the back door.

After Xiao Yi asked these questions, he took out the name scroll and handed it back to them. He said coldly, "My wife is a merry and compassionate person. She wants you to invite someone else."

Finishing her words, she turned around and left, not looking at the couple's embarrassed expressions anymore.

The living room became quiet for a while. Madam Liu quickly asked her husband: "Mrs. Xiao isn't willing to save Fu Er, what do we do?"

Liu Da Fu stared at the card on the table that had been returned and said: "When night falls, you go to the Minister of War Palace to find your cousin. Be careful."

Then, recalling that there was still a 'if' in the store, she left Madam Liu alone in the living room.

Madam Liu thought about it and in the end, could not hold it in any longer. After leaving late into the night, she disguised herself and left through the back door, heading towards the Minister of War Palace.

When he heard the news that Madam Liu had come to visit, Minister's Wife was in the courtyard tending to his plants.

Minister's Wife had been worrying about Li Chenxuan recently. He did not want to see her, but suddenly, he remembered that his cousin had asked him to buy a Soul Borrowing Gu a few days ago. He passed the water bottle to the servant girl beside him and said indifferently: "Invite her in."

Not long after, Madam Liu saw the servant girl lead the way in front of Minister's Wife.

Without waiting for Minister's Wife to speak, Madam Liu anxiously said, "Cousin sister, it's bad! Mrs. Xiao is not willing to save Fu Er, the people from General Mansion are still investigating the origin of the Gu, and have found the Liu Estate. "

Minister's Wife's expression changed.

Once Xiao left the Liu residence, he did not immediately return to General Mansion.

After circling around and hiding at the back door of the Liu Estate for a while, he saw a person sneakily leaving the residence.

Xiao Yi followed Madam Liu to the Madam Minister of War. After personally watching her enter, he turned around and left.

Qu Ling had just seen Jiang Huo and Ah Xin off, and was still standing at the General Mansion entrance.

Just as he was about to turn around and return to his residence, he saw Xiao Yi from the corner of his eyes and immediately stopped.

Xiao Yi immediately told Qu Ling about the Liu family's matter.

"Why are you standing in the doorway?"

The two of them turned to look, only to see Xiao Jingyue dismounting and actually coming back early.

There were three other people who came back with him.

Qu Ling's eyes widened in shock, he ran down the stairs and pounced towards one of them, "Grandma!"

Xiao Yi called out in shock, "Godly Doctor Gu, young master Murong!"
