She hugged the trembling Gu Rong, held her in her arms lovingly, and shouted to Marquis Zhongyi,

"Master, you opened the cake with your own hands just now, and you handed it to Ronger with your own hands!

She was greedy and ignorant, and made mistakes, but what about you? Don’t you understand that the things given by the emperor cannot be moved at will?

When it comes to my mother's poisoning, Rong'er is at most the one handing the knife, but you are the executioner wielding the knife. If Eunuch Wu had come a little later, the Marquis would have eaten the poisoned pastry!"

Hou Zhongyi's face turned livid after being yelled at by Madam Hou. After all, he felt guilty, so he didn't say anything to refute, tossed his sleeves, and left with a heavy groan.

Mr. Gu originally thought that his eldest brother's slap was a good one, but after listening to his sister-in-law's words, he also had a sly look on his face, feeling that this time his eldest brother also had an unshirkable responsibility.

"Sister-in-law, although my mother-in-law is unconscious, she may be conscious, so don't make any noise in front of her bed. You can go back first."

Second Sister-in-law Gu persuaded softly, "I'll take care of this."

"Thank you, sister-in-law, we will come back later." Mrs. Hou said with red eyes, pulling Gu Rong to leave here first.

Today, their eldest brother-in-law has lost face in front of the second-in-law. Just by poisoning his mother, the second-in-law’s blame has been on them for a long time.

Mrs. Hou felt that it would be difficult for her to stand upright in front of her sister-in-law in the future.

This made her feel even more aggrieved and uncomfortable, and she wished she could turn back time. She would definitely stop them from eating poisonous cakes.

I really regret, regret, regret!

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…Mom, how could dad do this? He even thinks that his daughter harmed his grandmother. What about the people outside?

My daughter is burdened with the stigma of poisoning her grandmother, so she might as well die!"

Back in her own yard, Gu Rong hugged Mrs. Hou and cried bitterly, feeling that the road ahead was dark.

For the first time, Gu Rong felt that she was taking a script for a cannon fodder female supporting role, and Gu Xi was the heroine!

Moreover, she just received a warning from the system.

Because her reputation is so bad now, more and more people are hating her and criticizing her, so all the love points she has worked so hard to accumulate by reading poems have been deducted!!!

This is not the end yet.

The system also warned her that if she could not restore her reputation in time, the system would punish her.

The lowest punishment is to shock her soul and make her feel the ten-level pain of childbirth, which lasts for three hours.

When Gu Rong saw this punishment, she trembled all over. Although she had not given birth yet, she had heard how painful the labor pains were!

She still needs to be in pain for three hours, that is, six hours, and the pain of giving birth will not last that long!

Moreover, this is just a low-level punishment, there will be more cruel punishments later.

For the first time, Gu Rong realized that the binding system did not mean that she would have a super golden finger and would reach the pinnacle of life.

She may also have to pay a huge price.

After Gu Rong realized this, she really wanted to die!

If she dies, her soul may be able to return to modern times. Anyway, she died in a car accident and may just become a vegetative state.

Gu Rong was frightened and thought about a lot of messy things.

Mrs. Hou hugged her and burst into tears.

"Good girl, don't take your father's words at heart. He said that because he was so angry that he didn't hesitate to speak."

Mrs. Hou lovingly patted her trembling back as she cried, and softly comforted her.

"I see that he really thinks so! He just thinks that I am the scapegoat, that I caused my sister to become alienated from you, and that I poisoned my grandmother!"

Gu Rong said angrily, she could now understand why Gu Xi disliked Zhongyi Hou so much.

Such a scumbag is really unworthy!

She had previously gloated that her scumbag father had made Gu Xi a concubine for a dandy. At that time, she thought it was because Gu Xi was an adopted daughter, but it turned out that her biological daughter was not easy to handle either.

Blood and family ties are nothing, those who can bring him benefits are his biological ones!

Now he is eager to coax and pamper Gu Xi.

"Rong'er, don't think so. Your father is like this. When he realizes how good you are, he will change his attitude."

Madam Hou didn't think Gu Rong was a bad guy. She knew that Gu Rong was wrong about today's matter, but the old lady and Mr. Hou were both wrong at all!

She is also responsible.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Mom, even the imperial doctors can't do anything, who can save grandma?" Gu Rong cried desperately.

The scumbag dad stepped aside, and now she just wants to save her grandmother.

Mrs. Hou also looked confused and desperate.

Just when the Hou Mansion was in turmoil, word began to spread outside.

First of all, the news that Gu Xi chose not to marry anyone spread quickly in the capital, causing countless people to sigh, regret and discuss.

Some people gloated about the misfortune, saying that Gu Xi didn't know what to do, so she didn't choose anyone and was destined to be a nun!

However, some people praise Gu Xi for his high integrity, fearlessness of power, and courage to pursue his own freedom and happiness.

Most of the noble ladies were gloating over the misfortune, thinking that Gu Xi was aloof and noble, but now they failed, let’s see who dares to marry her!

However, before everyone could finish sighing, another news came, shocking everyone's eyes and jaws.

Gu Xi was adopted as the adopted daughter by the Queen Mother and will be named the County Lord by the Emperor!!!

For a time, those who had ridiculed Gu Xi for her humble background and thought they could trample on her were a little unacceptable!

How could Gu Xi be so lucky that he would be named the head of the county?!

In this way, she becomes more noble than before, wouldn't they have to kneel down and salute her?

Those who scolded Gu Xi for not knowing what he was doing and could only become a nun were also dumbfounded.

There is a better way out if you co-write with others.

Those who simply watch the excitement of two kings competing for a girl will be happy.

The woman seeking marriage becomes her elder. There is nothing more interesting and funny than this.

-

"What the hell! Gu Xi refused to marry Zi Xi's brother, but was adopted by the imperial grandmother as a foster daughter! Then wouldn't she become my aunt and the elder of this princess?!"

Princess Rubao was even more surprised than hearing that Gu Xi was going to become her sister-in-law.

She simply couldn't find anything more outrageous than this.

No, she doesn't want to see Gu Xi anymore in the short term, because she doesn't want to salute Gu Xi and call her aunt.

She is obviously his good friend, why is she suddenly so inferior!

-

Princess Yaoguang was dumbfounded when she heard the news.

She originally thought that Gu Xi becoming her royal sister-in-law would be hard enough for her to accept, but there would be even worse things behind it!

Gu Xi has directly become her elder!

Destroy it!

She never wants to see Gu Xi again!

At this moment, Princess Yaoguang and Princess Rubao were surprisingly on the same front.

-

After the fourth prince heard the news, he was stunned for a while.
Chapter completed!
