The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law-Chapter 1650 - 1653: What Should We Do About This?

And the most innocent person in all this is the newly appointed Top Scholar, Gu Shuisheng. What did he do to deserve this? He was merely being kind by helping the butler of the Zhang Family, yet he got manipulated by the butler and the second Miss Zhang.

If second Miss Zhang’s plan hadn’t failed, what everyone would have seen was the Princess of Ning unable to bear loneliness and having a secret rendezvous with a young man in the VIP room of Xiguang Residence.

But the plan was disrupted, and the young man ended up belonging to second Miss Zhang.

Indeed, the young man is truly unlucky. No matter who was poisoned, he is always the scapegoat adulterer!

Second Miss Zhang gradually woke up, and Gu Youyou gave her a Calming Pill.

The situation has developed to a point beyond the control of a mere butler, and soon Prime Minister Zhang got the news and rushed over.

At the same time, Jin Zijin also got the news and hurried over.

Seeing Gu Youyou leisurely sitting on a chair, he felt relieved.

"What’s happened again? Who’s responsible?"

Gu Youyou gestured toward the Zhang Family members and said, "Who else? It’s them! But fortunately, I wasn’t taken advantage of. However, second Miss Zhang’s reputation is completely ruined now. Prime Minister Zhang will need to prepare for retirement with his daughter!"

These words drilled into Prime Minister Zhang’s ears like poison, but he dared not lose his temper at Gu Youyou. Looking at the still not fully awake Zhang Shiyu, he had no choice but to turn and glare at Gu Shuisheng.

"What happened? How did you... end up together?" Prime Minister Zhang felt the urge to snap.

Gu Shuisheng is not a pushover, and he recounted the story of what happened.

Prime Minister Zhang’s face turned various shades, realizing that the original victims should have been Gu Shuisheng and Gu Youyou.

He looked helplessly at Zhang Shiyu, indeed feeling very helpless.

The idea was fine, and Prime Minister Zhang knew his daughter had never liked Gu Wu and Gu Shuisheng, using this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone—what a good plan?

But her skills were too shallow, and she was no match for Gu Youyou. Now it’s backfired; instead of tricking Gu Youyou, she’s trapped herself.

With so many witnesses, wasn’t all of this Gu Youyou’s doing?

Now it’s confirmed, the crime of plotting against the Princess of Ning and the Top Scholar must be established.

No, this is a capital offense. Prime Minister Zhang cannot let this happen.

He had already lost his eldest daughter and couldn’t afford to lose this daughter.

In an instant, Prime Minister Zhang seemed to feel old, wondering why things were so worrying.

He pushed everyone aside and pulled Gu Shuisheng up, taking him to the room next door. Under the surprised gazes of everyone, he slammed the door shut with a bang.

...

Zhang Shiyu, still in a daze, found it not at all amusing. How could she miss such an unforgettable moment? Gu Youyou had long sent someone to fetch Searcy, who was an expert in poison and also quite skilled at antidotes.

After assessing Zhang Shiyu’s condition, Searcy quickly prepared an antidote for her. After taking the real antidote, Zhang Shiyu finally began to regain consciousness.

Her own clothes were in a disheveled state, and the clothes draped over her now were those of a maid, arranged by Gu Youyou.

Seeing the scene before her and realizing what had occurred just moments ago, she was so frightened that she wished she could faint again.

But turning her head, seeing the look of disgust in Jin Zijin’s eyes as he stood next to Gu Youyou, her heart ached anew.

It’s all for this man that she ended up in this situation. Having made this decision and lost everything, shouldn’t he be responsible?

"Prince Ning, Your Highness Prince Ning!" Zhang Shiyu struggled to her feet and rushed toward Jin Zijin.
