The Zheng Family's eldest daughter stopped in her tracks and immediately thought of Wu Niang's previous husband.
Weren't they sent as reinforcements?
She turned and looked at Wu Niang.
His hair was in disarray and his clothes were messy.
She had also seen this woman's brilliance before, when she was proud and arrogant, but in the end she was reduced to this state. It was rather pitiful.
But then he thought, if this Mayer's disease girl was so pitiful, then wouldn't the Song Family that was destroyed by her be even more pitiful, and there was also Zheng Tong who disappeared for no reason after she left, where would he be able to find her?
If she had lived peacefully with the Song Family man back then, or perhaps she didn't like the man from the Song Family anymore, she would have gone out with him and found a reliable man to marry.
Even if he had pestered the Prince Rong to death back then, and not interacted with that damned person, he still wouldn't have ended up like this.
In the end, he was asking for it.
Not at all.
She had never thought that she would end up like this when she killed someone.
Hmph, speaking of this, it was all thanks to her mother and this useless elder brother.
The two of them were sucking in human blood like leeches, relying on her to live a good life of luxury. Now, they were merely serving her up, which was too easy for them.
All sorts of thoughts were running through the Zheng family's eldest daughter's mind. Her steps were indeed fast. She wished she could escape from the manor as soon as possible.
This was a man-eating place.
When she got home, she would go to the temple and burn incense to thank Bodhisattva for protecting her.
She had such thoughts, and those two maidservants were no exception. The two of them had served at the Orchid Flower Alley for a long time, and they were well aware of how these nobles took human life as their own.
He couldn't wait to get out of the yard and escape.
A few figures disappeared at the entrance of the yard.
Wu Niang's body was also dragged away.
tofu hyacinth didn't even have time to ask where her daughter would be buried. She only cared if she and her son would really be dragged into the army.
She knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously, begging for forgiveness.
Unfortunately, the King Rong Concubine remained unmoved.
He only nodded towards Grand maidservant.
Immediately, a few wives came forward and dragged the two away.
The wangfei turned around and was not surprised to see that the Prince Rong was actually standing behind her. She said lightly: "Don't think about killing them to keep your mouth shut, give yourself some merits. Maybe you can even give birth to a son that you can love. Otherwise, your hard work and effort in your entire life might have ended up in vain. "
The King Rong snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and left.
The women in the yard had not dispersed yet, and their masters had not spoken. They could only stand there, even with the snow falling on their shoulders and their teeth chattering from the cold. They still did not dare to move lightly.
Anger flashed past the eyes of the King Rong's Concubine.
It was precisely these self-indulgent and lowly women that destroyed the relationship between her and the King Rong, as well as the trust between her own son and his father.
Then he sighed softly.
He read aloud, "They are all pitiful people."
No one knew who he was talking about.
Grand maidservant guarded the door as he held Fox Hair's cape in his hand. He whispered, "Royal Concubine, let's go back. It's cold here, so be careful or you might catch a cold."
She was even more worried about wounding her and raising her own sorrows, but she had been taught to grow by her own hand in the end, so she naturally knew what not to mention at a time like this.
"Mm, let's go back."
Grand maidservant immediately walked in and donned his cloak for the princess. In the courtyard, four wives carrying palanquins had already entered.
When the wangfei walked out and saw the women standing in the courtyard, she said, "Disperse, all of you. Each of you should remember your place and live a peaceful life. Don't be a monster!"
Everyone hurriedly acknowledged and respectfully saw her out of the courtyard.
The servants of the Prince Rong's Mansion were very efficient, in that short period of time, the courtyard had already been swept clean.
The originally dirty blood stains had all been washed clean.
The same woman who had lived in this courtyard and then in the Princess's courtyard had thought that her mother was precious. When she had first entered this compound, all she had seen was the splendor of her life.
After closing the door, they went back to their own rooms. The girls in the courtyard all knew that after this incident, the Prince Rong's Mansion and this courtyard would be even more difficult to stay in.
Xiao Zongxian went out with his sword, riding on his horse straight back to the Gu household.
The two servants who were with him followed him on horseback.
Before they even reached the Gu household's gate, they saw Xiao Wanyin, who was helping Gu Xin tidy up her clothes. Gu Xin's expression was faint, but Xiao Wanyin was nagging nonstop.
However, Xiao Wanyin was still able to see the gentleness and caution in her eyes.
He closed his eyes for a moment, then put away the treasured sword that had already left its sheath.
On the other side, Xiao Wanyin also saw him and called him brother.
It was too late for him to leave, so he could only ride his horse.
He pretended not to care and asked: "What are you going to do?"
Gu Xin originally didn't want to pay any attention to him, but when he looked up, he noticed the surging waves that were hidden behind his calmness.
Xiao Wanyin had not realized that it was rare for her to see her brother speak to her husband in such a gentle manner.
She was afraid that no one wished for her husband to get along with his family more than she did, especially her elder brother.
"Master wants to go out of the city to settle some matters."
She answered for him, "What brings you here, brother?"
Gu Yue's gaze swept over the siblings, secretly finding it funny. His wife actually thought that her elder brother was sincerely chatting with him in a casual manner.
Speaking of which, he knew this mortal enemy even better than Xiao Zongxian, who was Xiao Zongxian's blood sister.
Especially the killing intent that flashed occasionally behind his smile.
"Nothing, I just came out for a walk. I don't know how I got here, but I'm probably thinking about you. I don't know how you've been doing recently. Look at you, your cheeks are so thin that they're caved in."
Xiao Zongxian had only said that it would hurt to see his little sister like this in the first place.
He swept a glance at Gu La, and in his heart, he had another account for this person. If his sister's life was not good, then all the debts would be placed on Gu Xin's head.
Gu Xin didn't care. This account wasn't the only thing between the two of them. Sooner or later, there would be a day of reckoning.
But now.
Gu Xin glanced at Xiao Zongxian coldly.
This gaze seemed to be able to see through one's heart. Being provoked by him, Xiao Zongxian wanted to get angry on the spot, but when she saw Xiao Wanyin here, she barely suppressed the hatred and overflowing anger in her heart.
He said to Gu Yue, "Go outside the city. Coincidentally, I'll go too. Let's go together."
Gu Han still had things to do, so he didn't want to get tangled up with him, but even more so, he didn't want to provoke him into making a move on his own doorstep.
His grandfather's corpse was not yet cold, and the spirit shed had not yet been removed. What was the point of fighting here?
Thus, with a casual word, he leaped onto the back of the horse.
Xiao Wanyin's gaze swept back and forth between his brother and her husband, and finally noticed the tension between the two.
Worry was written all over his face.
"Go back, don't stand here. It's very cold."
Gu Han saw through her dilemma, and after a rare moment of soft-heartedness, he rode away as soon as he finished speaking.
Xiao Zongxian rode on his horse and followed along, passing in front of his sister. With a smile on his face, he said to her: "Don't worry, this isn't a day or two between the two of us, since when have you seen us making such a ruckus? Don't worry, we have our own plans in mind."
"Big brother."
Xiao Wanyin took a step forward and held onto his reincarnation, her eyes pleading.
Xiao Zongxian looked at the white silk flowers on her head, his eyes flashing, he laughed amiably: "Don't worry, I really won't do anything to him. In the past, we were both young and vigorous, and we don't like each other, but now, he's your husband, even if I'm not going to watch him, I'll still have to worry about whether you're my little sister or not."
Xiao Wanyin nodded his head, then said softly: "But you better not be at a disadvantage, if they really start to fight, do not let them win. If you get injured, little sister will feel sorry for you."
Her words were sincere, and Xiao Zongxian laughed: "Alright, with what you said, everything today is not a big deal. As long as you want, he is your husband, my brother-in-law."
"He was your brother-in-law in the first place?"
Xiao Wanyin was puzzled.
Xiao Zongxian coldly smiled. It was true that brother-in-law was brother-in-law, but there was still a huge difference between him being dead and being alive.
He looked at Gu Xin's disappearing figure and said to Xiao Wanyin: "Alright, go back. He's right, it's a cold day, don't stand outside. Take good care of the young misses. If your service is not thorough, the natural son will skin you one by one. "
The whip pointed at the servants by Xiao Wanyin's side.
Xiao Wanyin suppressed his whip and said in a displeased tone: "Big brother, seriously, how could they not take care of me? Given the situation in the residence, it would be wrong if I ate till I'm white and fat."
He had never seen anyone who was filial to him that made him into a fatty.
Xiao Zongxian whispered with a tiger-like face: "Even if it's like this, don't be too sad. After all, you're only Gu Xin's grandfather, and not your grandfather."
Leaving behind these words, he galloped away.
Only Xiao Wanyin stood where he was and looked at his back, helplessly shaking her head and sighing.
She turned around and went back. The maidservant by her side came over and whispered, "Miss, Master Hou seems to have found out about the matter regarding the Myrtle in the Crown Prince's courtyard."
Xiao Wanyin's expression turned cold, she stopped walking and asked: "Why didn't you mention it before?"
"At that time, only the crown prince and the marquis were present, and not a third person knew about it. The liveliness in the palace was only known when the crown prince interrogated that Myrtle."
Xiao Wanyin immediately backed off, and the figure of Xiao Zongxian and Gu Xin could no longer be seen on the street.
She grabbed the maidservant and asked, "Do you know how this matter is progressing?"
The servant shook her head and replied softly, "I don't know, but I heard that someone has already gone to Tongzhou. It seems to be Mr. Jiang."
"It's him?" Xiao Wanyin fell into deep thought.
Xiao Zongxian caught up with Gu Xin, and the two of them ran out of the city.
Occasionally, their gazes would meet in fierce combat.
When they left the city, both of them stopped their horses at the same time.
Gu Shenwei impatiently asked, "Speak, why did you come looking for me?"
