At the time, I only thought that I was sick, and my grandfather never mentioned this to me. When I found out later on that I was poisoned, I was sure that all of this had nothing to do with Marquis Mansion. ”

Talking about this would involve bringing up the story of the Lady Ji and the Marquis. Considering the identity of the Lady Ji at the time, marrying into the Marquis Mansion was extremely difficult, and the Marquis was not yet the Marquis yet, so he could not make the decision on his own matters. The Marquis and the Lady Ji made up his mind to marry her, but the Marquis had almost lost her right to inherit his Marquis Mansion.

As for how the Marquis obtained the inheritance of the Marquis Mansion, not to mention the fact that, even though the Gu's had obtained it in the end, the dissatisfaction of the entire clan about the identity of the Lady Ji did not stop, so Gu Yun suspected that the death of the Lady Ji was undoubtedly caused by the bloodline of the Gu's, and it was also a fact that the Marquis did not protect the Lady Ji completely. From Gu Yun's perspective, it was understandable for the to hate him, and furthermore, it could be predicted that the Lady Zeng would not treat Gu Yun as his own after marrying him.

But looking at the situation, even if the Gu's were dissatisfied with the Lady Ji, they would not make a move against Gu Yun, so from this, it could be determined that someone else had poisoned the place, and as to who could so confidently throw the poison into the Marquis Mansion Inner Academy, it was unknown, but Xie Jingxi believed that it was definitely related to that unknown force.

”Now let me tell you the source of my suspicions.” Xie Jingxi slowly said: ”I only came here because of the Lady Zou, because I suspect that the Lady Zou's Medicine Hall is related to the Eternal Spring Hall, and they are also related to the unknown forces in the northern border. The death of Big Brother and Eldest Miss in the Palace should also be related to the Lady Zou.”

Gu Yun frowned, ”So you suspect that someone had been planning this from the beginning, right? But we still don't know what exactly this situation is, it is not possible to spend so much effort just for the sake of the Marquis Anfeng Palace. Furthermore, the Lady Zou is probably not the main culprit, it is just a small part of the plan.”

”Lady Zou is still a clue, so when she doesn't suspect me, I have to go check along with her. Moreover, there is now an additional Gu Qing.”

And also, Xie Jingxi herself, she didn't know what kind of identity she had gotten rid of her in her previous life, so she couldn't guarantee that she wasn't involved in this matter as well.

”Do you regret marrying me?”

Gu Yun suddenly looked into her eyes and asked. Xie Jingxi was startled, and found that his question was unusually serious. His eyes did not look to tease or ridicule her, but was waiting for her to give a serious answer.

No matter if it was her previous life or her current life, she seemed to be destined not to be able to escape from this situation. Or perhaps, being able to marry Gu Yun was the luckiest thing to do, no matter what happened in the future. At the very least, it proved that she was not fighting against the heavens alone.

Xie Jingxi avoided the injuries on his body, and lightly leaned on his shoulder, ”Don't you think that the cards in our hands are really bad? But I don't feel sad or regretful right now, because I know that you have always been by my side.” Xie Jingxi gently hugged him, ”But I didn't know that you had suffered so much in the past, so I will treat you better multiple times in the future.”

”Is Xi confessing to me?”

”Just take it as it is.” Xie Jingxi blamed him for being too despicable, and she found it hard to say good words.

Gu Yun laughed lowly, ”I've always been waiting for the day where Xi will fall for me, don't make me wait too long.”

”Hmm …” This, I don't think it will be for long.

It was a rare occasion for the young couple to make such a heart-to-heart confession to be so warm. That Sheng Luan, in order to find Gu Wan, actually suffered a lot.

First of all, this ghastly weather really made people outside very angry, and Gu Guan's stubborn and bad temper made Sheng Luan even more angry. When he came out, he hastily tossed a cloak around, and without a hat or umbrella, he was soon blown into a white-haired old man. His eyes and nostrils were filled with wind and snow, and he even fell and tumbled a few times on the road.

Bastard, if you have the ability, don't let him find you.
