Chapter 2551: We Are Indeed Related by Blood

Lu Ni cried out that she was wronged. Except for Gu Xin, Gu Shouxin, Lu Zheng and Bai Yi, everyone else looked at her in surprise.

In their opinion, Lu Ni had no reason to harm Princess Nanlin, but the deadly thing found by Zheng was indeed sent by Lu Ni, so this was very surprising.

As for Gu Xin's death, it was certain that Lu Ni did not have the courage to do it.

Lu Zheng knew that the Lin family did have a lot of good things. In those years, Lin's father, the Prime Minister of the court, and Lin's sister, Concubine Lin, gave Lin a lot of good things.

When the Lin family was raided before, they found more treasures from the Lin family than any concubine in the palace, including the queen's private vault.

The queen's family, that is, Xue Qianyu's family, was quite rich, but only generally rich. It is conceivable that the queen did not have many valuable things.

But the Lin family was different. The left and right prime ministers of the court were Lin's father and Huo Junhao's uncle. Huo Junhao's uncle is ten years younger than Lin Xiang. Since the first emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, their Huo family has produced prime ministers, but they live a very low-key life.

So, many ministers like to give gifts to Lin Xiang. Because Lin Xiang once helped the Empress Dowager and the Emperor to stabilize the country, his daughter is a concubine in the palace and is in charge of the harem, and his grandson is no worse than the third prince born to the Queen, so he is arrogant. He never refuses anyone who comes to give gifts.

Whether it is an official of the Great Zhou Dynasty or an envoy from abroad, he will accept it if someone gives it.

As a result, when the family was confiscated, it took a whole afternoon to pull all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings into the palace.

So, when Lu Ni said that the Lin family had eaten the tree roots from Xingnan Country, Lu Zheng believed it.

The people he had planted in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had also recorded this matter. During the period when the Lin family was confiscated, the imperial concubine was deposed, and the seventh prince was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned, Lin had people grind this tree root into powder every day and then swallow it with water.

In the first half of the year, he heard from his people that Lin was eating this thing again.

Lu Zheng felt that there was a reason why it was not Lu Ni, but Gu Shouxin and Gu Xin simply thought it was not Lu Ni. The main reason was that both father and daughter thought Lu Ni was stupid, and with Lu Ni's hatred for Gu Xin and Lu Zheng, how could she let Princess Nanlin die? She wished that Princess Nanlin would live well, and then their plan would succeed and break up Gu Xin and Lu Zheng.

Moreover, even if Lu Ni wanted to poison, she must have poisoned Lu Zheng and Gu Xin.

Therefore, the father and daughter did not think that it was Lu Ni who poisoned.

Then, the poison was found from the things Lu Ni brought, which was a bit interesting.

The murderer saw clearly that if Nanlin wanted to investigate, it would definitely be the Dali Temple that would take over, and the Dali Temple would definitely send Gu Xin. If Gu Xin found out about this thing, Lu Ni would naturally be implicated. The murderer thought that Gu Xin and Lu Ni did not get along, so he thought that Gu Xin would take this opportunity to get rid of Lu Ni?

The father and daughter looked at each other. Not to mention, even though Gu Xin had been in the West for so long and had not been with Gu Shouxin often after returning, the two of them still had a tacit understanding and could see each other's thoughts.

They are indeed a father and daughter connected by blood!

Gu Xin looked at the angry and panicked Lu Ni, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't the Duke of Zhenguo say that the affairs of your mansion are decided by Prince Lu? It just so happens that he is here."
