Chapter 629: It’s the End of the Strength
Ji Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, and did not speak for a while. He just looked at Gu Chaoxi deeply, and then chuckled after a while.
"Xiao Si, you said it wasn't you, how do you prove it?"
"I!" The fourth young master was choked for a moment, not knowing what to say.
How can I prove that it wasn't him? Or should I say something else?
He lowered his eyes, as if giving up on himself: "Father, if you think it's me, you can punish me by making me kneel in the ancestral hall."
"There is no need to kneel in the ancestral hall. Tonight, you should go to keep vigil."
The bodies of the old lady and the fourth concubine were kept there.
The fourth young master froze for a moment, but still nodded obediently.
Afterwards, Ji Ze looked at them again, as if he was tired, and coughed violently a few times.
"My health is not as good as before, Boss, you should take the responsibility."
The eldest young master nodded, and the teacup in his hand was placed on the table: "Don't worry, father."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a noise at the door and the second concubine walked in hurriedly. She just glared at the fourth young master and immediately walked towards Ji Ze. When she passed by Gu Chaoxi, she glanced at her.
"Master, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Si."
"He didn't say anything just now, but you, as a mother, are so anxious to defend yourself? What's more, I just finished speaking not long ago, how did you know?"
Was there someone in this yard who went out to deliver a message? Otherwise, how come the Second Concubine came here before the meeting was over?
The atmosphere was a little silent for a while, and the second concubine's face did not look very good.
There was indeed someone who had been listening outside and immediately went to tell her.
She was on her way to Jize's yard, but she didn't expect to arrive a little late. Her disappointing son was punished to keep vigil.
The house was already uneasy, and this was her only son.
No matter how disappointing a child is, he or she was born after ten months of pregnancy and I have feelings for him or her. I can't just ignore him or her.
Gu Chaoxi's gaze swept across the second concubine. It seemed that the second concubine had doubts about this matter from the beginning, but she just never showed it.
But come to think of it, when the ghost came to her, she roughly guessed what was going on.
Besides, the ghost didn't really do anything to her. She was a smart person, so it wasn't surprising that she guessed this.
Thinking of this, Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan, who was sitting diagonally opposite them, looked at each other.
Pei Yan turned his head and asked: "Second Concubine came here in such a hurry, because she already knew about Fourth Brother's affairs? And she deliberately didn't tell Father?"
"How is that possible!" The second concubine retorted with her head tilted.
But that was not what Ji Ze heard. He suddenly raised his hand and slapped the table, which caused him to cough violently.
Violet immediately stepped forward to help him pat his back, but still saw Ji Ze coughing up blood.
The second concubine was also panicking. She went up to support the man, with worry in her eyes, "Master!"
Ji Ze shook his hand away and looked at the second concubine with a bit of disgust in his eyes: "I was touched, look at the good son you raised!"
Now it is almost certain that the unrest in the mansion is caused by this incompetent son.
The second concubine had nothing to say, she just stood there in silence with tears in her eyes.
Gu Chaoxi stood up. Violet had already helped Ji Ze to fix the mess and brought out the medicine from the inner room.
Although the medicine was cold, the smell was still very strong. For a moment, Gu Chaoxi's nose seemed to be attacked.
"Father, since it's Fourth Brother's fault, just let him go to the vigil. Don't be angry. If he gets sick from anger, who will we rely on in the future?"
It's just plain talk, and there's no emotion of concern.
But Ji Ze listened to him, waved his hand, and asked Violet to help him into the house.
When he stepped in, he turned around and looked at the second concubine who was standing there.
"Go back. I don't want to see you again."
It was like a watershed, and the Second Concubine would never have to come to him again.
After Ji Ze entered the house, several people in the yard stood up one after another.
The eldest young master glanced at Gu Chaoxi, then shifted his gaze to the fourth young master and gave him an affirmative look.
The fourth young master understood, and walked a few steps to the second concubine's side and pulled her sleeve: "Mother, let's go back."
The second concubine didn't say anything. She turned to look at Gu Chaoxi, and her voice was only heard by a few people around her: "Xiangxiang, I just want to ask you, are you involved in this matter?"
She has always had high expectations for her daughter. If she answered that she was involved, the second concubine would probably not be able to bear it.
It's fine if her son conspires with others to take away her important things, but if her beloved daughter does the same, then she is really a failure.
Gu Zhaoxi shook his head: "No, I just found out about this last night."
The second concubine's heart was relieved again: "That's good."
After a while, she turned around and let the Fourth Young Master help her leave.
Pei Yan walked towards her and was grabbed by the eldest young master's arm: "Third brother, when did you and second sister become so close?"
"After discovering the ghost," he replied.
The young master pursed his lips to smile, then let go of her hand and said nothing more.
So when they decided to do that in the beginning, was it right or wrong?
"Since my eldest brother didn't take me into account at the beginning, let's just forget about it from now on." Who should I blame for the brothers who have the same father and mother but have ended up like this?
To be honest, I don’t know who to blame.
In this big house, kinship is really not something worth mentioning.
ridiculous.
The fifth young lady sneered, gathered her cloak, turned around and walked outside.
Gu Chaoxi took a look, and only when the thin figure walked out of the yard and turned left did she look away and look at Pei Yan.
"Let's go back too. As for whether Big Brother wants to go see Father, it's up to you."
After saying that, she nodded, then turned and walked outside.
The eldest young master stood there, and occasionally a slight cough could be heard from the room. It was Ji Ze's.
There are people taking care of them inside, so I guess he won't be needed.
And he had other things to deal with, so there was no need to stay here any longer.
Pei Yan and Gu Chaoxi walked for a distance and made sure that no one was following them before they started talking on this wide road.
"Chao Xi, what do you think of them tonight?"
"Of course I will. It's the last night, and Ji Ze is already at the end of his rope."
It took a lot of energy to force myself to talk to them just now. I think if I give Ji Ze a strong dose of medicine tonight, it will be almost over.
Come to think of it, when I saw Ji Ze before, I felt that his health was not in this condition.
Why is it so bad now?
Was there something wrong with the medicine she took? Did someone change her medicine?
Who is it?
The eldest lady? The one who is most likely to put drugs in Ji Ze's medicine without being suspected by others?
