The evil mother-in-law does not whitewash, she only abuses her children

Chapter 553 It’s not pesticide, it’s brown sugar water

Gu Jingzhe in the crowd rushed out and knocked the bottle away.

Tong Huaqiong picked up the bottle and held it in his hand.

Everyone exclaimed.

“It’s pesticide.”

"Did Xiaoxue drink it just now?"

"Quick, go get the mung bean water."

Because the speed was so fast, no one knew whether Gu Xiaoxue had drunk it or not.

At this time, Mrs. Gu finally shouted distressedly: "Xiaoxue, did you drink it?"

Wei hurried out to get the mung bean water.

Gu Xiaoxue ignored Old Lady Gu and said to Tong Huaqiong, "Auntie, just let me die. Brother Qingsong drank half a pot of medicine. He can't live anymore, and I can't live anymore either."

After saying this, tears rolled down his cheeks.

Since she returned to Qinghewan, Liu Qingsong has been the best to her. She thought Liu Qingsong liked her only because she was beautiful, but she didn't expect that Liu Qingsong would even give up his life for her.

This was the first time in Gu Xiaoxue’s life that someone treated her with such urgency.

Liu Tielian almost fainted after hearing this.

Old Man Gu's face turned pale. If Liu Qingsong died, Xiaoxue would be handed over to the Liu family to be dealt with by them.

It doesn't matter whether he was drowned in a pond or buried with Liu Qingsong.

Tong Huaqiong looked at the medicine bottle calmly and said, "Xiaoxue, this medicine bottle of yours looks so familiar to me. Did you get it from my cotton field?"

Gu Xiaoxue suddenly raised her head.

That’s right, in the summer, Tong Huaqiong asked her to try the loom, and she secretly took it from the cotton field.

She didn't want to drag Tong Huaqiong into the water, after all, the old lady was really good to her.

Tong Huaqiong opened the bottle, smelled it, and smiled.

He said to Liu Tiejian, who was almost exhausted, "Village chief, the bottle does not contain pesticides, but brown sugar water. Qingsong is fine."

The bottle contained the Coke that Tong Huaqiong asked Maner to take out from the space. She placed it at the edge of the cotton field, and she didn't notice that one bottle was missing.

Gu Xiaoxue opened her eyes wide.

Tong Huaqiong said to Gu Xiaoxue: "Xiaoxue, it's okay, it's okay, Qingsong will not die."

Thinking back to the time on the riverbank, when everyone held Liu Qingsong down and fed him mung bean soup and soapnut water, Liu Qingsong's face turned pale and his legs and feet were weak, it was purely because of the torture.

Liu Tiejian wiped his sweat and confirmed again: "Dashu Niang, is my Qingsong really okay?"

Tong Huaqiong said, "It's really okay! If you don't believe me, smell it, it's brown sugar water."

Liu Tielian really took the bottle and smelled it, and his brows instantly relaxed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Liu Qingsong was fine.

Especially the Gu family, after all, no one wants Gu Xiaoxue to die.

At this time, Xu Dabao started to act up.

Gu Xiaoxue wanted to die with him and Gu Ruinian, so why did Liu Qingsong rush out to grab the kettle and drink it? Was he trying to save himself and Ruinian? Xu Dabao himself knew that he was not a good person. Apart from the Xu family, no one was willing to exchange his life for his.

The only reason was that Liu Qingsong fell in love with Gu Xiaoxue and he didn't want Gu Xiaoxue to die.

Now that Liu Qingsong is not dead, it is clear that Gu Xiaoxue wants to kill her because she doesn't want to marry him.

With Tong Dajiao backing her up, Gu Xiaoxue is likely to break off the engagement.

How could he swallow this?

Xu Dabao said: "In this case, I will not pursue the crime of Gu Xiaoxue poisoning her husband. Anyway, I have nothing to do with it."

Gu Xiaoxue stared at Xu Dabao hatefully.

Xu Dabao, Gu Laoye and the others said, "Xiaoxue wants to poison me because she is upset. I don't mind. We will get married in ten days. I will come to the Gu family to pick her up then."

Gu Xiaoxue said coldly: "I will never marry you even if I die."

Xu Dabao stared at Gu Xiaoxue with a fierce look on his face, and Gu Xiaoxue and Xu Dabao looked at each other.

Mr. Gu sighed.

He realized that this marriage would drive Xiaoxue to death.

Xu Dabao said nonchalantly: "Okay, then when you die, you will be the Xu family's ghost."

"Gu Xiaoxue said she won't get married, don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Liu Qingsong arrived at the meeting room at some point.

When Tong Huaqiong said that there was no pesticide in the bottle, a young man from the Liu family ran to Liu Tielian's house and told Yi and others the news.

Yi was crying like a tearful person. Liu Qingsong had escaped death and didn't care that his legs were weak from being forced to drink water, and he ran to the meeting room to support Xiaoxue.

He was afraid that his father would send Gu Xiaoxue to see the officials.

Liu Tielian was so angry that he thought what the affairs of the Xu and Gu families had to do with his stupid son, so he just forced it.

"Qingsong, this is none of your business." If his son's face hadn't been so pale, Liu Tielian would have taken off his shoes and beaten him up.

Liu Qingsong would rather drink poison to stop Gu Xiaoxue from killing people. Even a blind villager could see that he loved Gu Xiaoxue.

Although the village does not emphasize separation between men and women, Liu Qingsong is the only other person besides Gu Dashu who dares to publicly express his love for someone without his parents' consent.

Liu Qingsong stood stubbornly and looked at Gu Xiaoxue.

Gu Xiaoxue didn't look at him and said, "Brother Qingsong, this is a matter between me and the Xu family."

Liu Qingsong opened his mouth, and Mr. Gu said, "My daughter from the Gu family cannot be promised to two families. A marriage that has been promised cannot be revoked."

This means that I disagree with Gu Xiaoxue and Xu Dabao breaking off their engagement.

Old Master Gu felt that this was for the sake of the Gu family. From what Xu Dabao said just now, it could be seen that Xu Dabao would not let Gu Xiaoxue go.

Yu said, "We cannot afford a daughter-in-law who poisoned her husband. You can keep her as a nun in the Gu family and pay us back the five hundred taels of silver."

When Jia heard that she had to pay back another 500 taels of silver, she started arguing with Yu.

Prefect Yao stood outside the meeting room and listened. He could not help but walk in and said, "What kind of case are you judging? The more I listen, the more confused I get. The so-called murder of a husband, how can there be a husband before the couple is married? The so-called marriage between two families, the girl does not agree to the marriage, isn't this forced by one party? The so-called debt of 500 taels of silver, the girl is required to pay off the debt, how can this be justified?"

Tong Huaqiong's eyes lit up. The upright judge, Prefect Yao, had arrived.

"It's none of your business." Yu turned around and cursed.

The yamen runners beside Magistrate Yao twitched their lips at the scolding and almost stepped forward to tie up the man.

The villagers of Qinghewan had seen Prefect Yao last autumn, but they were so nervous that they only dared to look up when they heard the prefect was coming, so most of the villagers could not tell whether Prefect Yao was black or white. In addition, this time Prefect Yao was not wearing his official uniform, but a straw hat, so the villagers were even more afraid to recognize him.

Tong Huaqiong stood up and bowed to greet Governor Yao.

The villagers then realized that Yu had just scolded Prefect Yao.

Mr. Gu and Xu Jin immediately knelt down and were about to kowtow when they were called up by Prefect Yao.

Liu Qingsong seized the opportunity to appeal to Prefect Yao for justice.

"Where is the injustice?" Prefect Yao said with a friendly look.

Liu Qingsong told the story of Xu Dabao forcing Gu Xiaoxue to be his wife.

Of course, the plot of poisoning was omitted.

Anyway, the person is not dead, so it doesn’t count as poisoning.

After all, it was Liu Qingsong's first time dealing with the prefect, so he spoke haltingly and without any context.

Gu Jingzhe couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked up and told them everything, from how Gu Ruinian owed the Xu family money, how the Xu family forced Gu Xiaoxue to be his wife, and how Gu Xiaoxue was unwilling...

Of course, all the troubles that Gu Ruinian had caused in Pingchuan were told to Gu Jingzhe by Gu Dashu when he went to the provincial capital some time ago.

Gu Ruinian stood aside.

My right leg was weak, so I tried to support my body with my left leg.

Although his reputation had already been ruined throughout Qinghe Bay, he felt extremely embarrassed that Gu Jingzhe had publicly exposed what he had done, and had told the prefect about it.
