After listening to Zhang Jin's words, Gu Yi tapped the handrail gently with his index finger.

Zhang Jin looked at him anxiously. He didn't dare to guess what his father meant to send Zhang Huai away, or he had already guessed it vaguely, but he didn't dare to admit it.

Gu Yi's hand stopped, "Shopkeeper Wei."

Manager Wei pushed the door and came in.

Gu Yi signaled.

Manager Wei took out two porcelain bottles, one blue and one white, and handed them to Zhang Jin, "The white one is a medicine that can cause psychedelics. Mr. Zhang can put it in the meal and ask about Zhang Huai's whereabouts from your father. The blue one is the antidote. After taking it, I have no idea that I have had the medicine."

Zhang Jin took a step back in fear, "I, I, I..."

"Mr. Zhang did this for only one purpose, which is to abandon you and protect his legitimate son. Mr. Zhang, even if it is not for yourself, for your mother and sister, you should find out Zhang Huai's whereabouts. Otherwise, Qingping County will not have your place in the future."

Sweat beads rolled down Zhang Jin's forehead. Since the day he and Gu Yi reached a deal, he had no choice but to do so. He understood what Manager Wei said, but he was drugged his father, he...

"Don't worry, it's not harmful to the body, it's just a psychedelic person, and you'll say whatever you ask."

Zhang Jin took it with his hands tremblingly. He had no choice at this point. "I hope that after the matter is completed, Young Master Gu can keep your promise."

“That’s natural.”

Zhang Jin calmed down and put the porcelain bottle in his arms, bowed to Gu Yi and Manager Wei, and turned around and left the restaurant.

Back at the side door of Zhang Mansion, he gave the servant who was guarding the door several copper coins and went to his mother's yard.

"Auntie."

When Mrs. Zhang was here, the rules were very strict, and she was not allowed to call her own mother. Zhang Jin was used to calling her, and even if Mrs. Zhang was gone, she never changed her words for a while.

Zhang Lan was accompanying her mother as a girl and shouted, "Brother."

"Jin'er, come and sit down."

Aunt Du pointed to the stool beside the table.

Zhang Jin walked over and sat down, "Little sister, I have something to say to my aunt, you go back to the house first."

Zhang Lan obediently put away the half-embellished handkerchief and returned to her house.

"What's up?"

Aunt Du looked at Zhang Jin.

My son, no matter how talented or beautiful he is, is not inferior to Zhang Huai. It’s a pity that he came out of his belly and has been suppressed by Zhang Huai over the years.

Zhang Jin was silent for a moment, got up and walked to the door, and sent the waiting maid to the gate of the yard to guard it. He came back and sat down again, and talked about the deal with Gu Yi in a voice.

Aunt Du was so shocked that she covered her mouth.

Before Zhang Jin finished speaking, "I have already inquired. Zhang Huai is not in the mansion. If I guess well, my father should want to take revenge on the Yuan family. But he didn't know what the result would be, so he sent Zhang Huai away first and let us accompany him-"

After a pause, his tone came to his house, "Die!"

Aunt Du almost screamed, and her other hand covered her mouth tightly.

Zhang Jin waited for her to calm down.

After a long time, Aunt Du slowly let go of her hands and shook her lips, "You, what do you want to do?"

"I want my mother to invite my father to your house for dinner."

Aunt Du was favored in the years she had just entered the mansion, otherwise she would not have given birth to a son and a daughter. However, later Mr. Zhang became older and was devoted to cultivating his legitimate son, so he didn't come here any more.

"You, you,..."

Aunt Du was trembling all over.

Zhang Jin took out the porcelain vase in his arms, "This is a psychedelic medicine. As long as Dad takes it, we can ask Zhang Huai's whereabouts. Aunt, whether we can survive and whether we can take Zhang's property in our hands depends entirely on you."

...

"Master, Aunt Du is here."

The housekeeper reported.

Mr. Zhang, who was sitting in the rocking chair, closed his eyes and rested, opened his eyes and said, "Let her come in."

The housekeeper opened the door, and Aunt Du signaled the maid to stop at the door and go in by herself.

This is the first time she has seen Mrs. Zhang and Zhang Yao since she was buried. She has lost a lot of weight and has more white hair on her head.

"What's the matter?"

Aunt Du stopped and didn't dare to step forward. She tightened the veil in her hand, "Master hasn't had a good meal for a long time. I asked the kitchen to make what you like."

The word "not going" came to my mouth. Mr. Zhang didn't know what he thought of, so he swallowed it back and stretched out his hand to her. Aunt Du quickly stepped forward to support him and helped him out.

"How about Jin'er and Lan'er?"

"Everyone is very obedient and stays in his yard."

...

The two of them said indistinguishable and returned to Aunt Du's house.

After Mr. Zhang sat down, Aunt Du poured the tea himself and handed it to Mr. Zhang with both hands, "Master, drink some tea first, I'll go to the kitchen to see if the food is ready."

The same was true in the past. Mr. Zhang did not think anything was wrong. After she walked out, she slowly drank a few sips of tea with her tea cup.

Aunt Du came back soon and the food was served. Six dishes and one soup were all loved by Mr. Zhang.

Aunt Du picked up the vegetables and put them on the plate in front of Mr. Zhang, "Eat more, look at you, you can see that you have lost weight."

Mr. Zhang didn't refuse, so he picked it up and ate it.

A few days ago, a man in black wanted to sneak into the study every day, which made him feel restless day and night, and he has not recovered until now.

Aunt Du's eyes flashed and she started to eat as well.

Halfway through the meal, she saw Mr. Zhang's eyes getting blurred, and she pretended not to know and continued to pick up food for Mr. Zhang. Until Mr. Zhang's eyes were completely blurred and he was eating food in a daze, she asked tentatively, "Master, what is hidden in your study? Why did a man in black want to go in a few days ago?"

"Beauty laughs."

Mr. Zhang answered unconsciously.

"Is the eldest young master in the mansion?"

"No."

"What did he do?"

Mr. Zhang frowned.

Aunt Du raised her heart.

"Go and find a helper."

Aunt Du became anxious, "What should I do if I find a helper?"

"kill."

The chopsticks in Aunt Du's hand almost fell off. She hurriedly held them firmly, with an uncontrollable trembling voice, "Kill, who to kill?"

"Kill them all."

...

Aunt Du walked into the room with weak hands and feet. Zhang Jin immediately stood up, "How?"

Aunt Du was still in shock and collapsed on the chair, gasping for breath, "Go, I'm looking for help, I want to kill someone."

"Who to kill?"

"Everything, kill them all."

Zhang Jin raised his foot and walked out. Aunt Du grabbed him in horror, her lips opened and closed, and it took a long time to make a sound, "Jin, Jin'er, he, he, he is your father, he, he didn't want to harm us, you, you, you..."

"He won't succeed, mom doesn't know, Gu family..."

Zhang Jin's words suddenly stopped. Those who were just his guesses could not be said to his aunt, "Don't worry, mom, I won't harm my father. As long as I lose Zhang Huai, I will inherit the Zhang Mansion. I will definitely be filial to him and let him spend his old age in peace."
