After leaving the execution ground, Gu Chengrui turned to look at the siblings and asked, âWhat are you guys thinking? Do you want to go home with me or back to the Yang residence?â
âLet Chenglin go home with you. Iâm going back to the Yang residence. After so many things have happened, itâs time to end it completely.â Yang Wanning replied.
âI donât want to. Letâs shoulder it together.â Yang Chenglin shook his head. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âBe obedient. If anything happens, I wonât be able to protect you at all.â
â1 donât need your protection. This is our problem, so we have to face it together.â
Yang Wanning wanted to say something, but Gu Chengrui interrupted her, saying, âLet him go. Heâs already a half-grown kid. Itâs time for him to make his decision.
âIâll send someone to protect you two in secret.â
âAlright, sorry for the trouble.â
âNo worries. Remember, you can resist, but donât take the initiative to stir up trouble.â
âI understand.â Yang Wanning, her brother, and Mrs. Sun walked back together.
When Gu Chengrui saw this, he turned around and looked for King Rui. âYour Highness, the Cui Family have all been executed.â
âHm, I heard that Mother God appeared just now?â
âYes, she also left behind two sentences. Heaven has long arms. The good will be rewarded with good, while the evil with evil.â
âHeaven has long arms. Good, good. 1 hope all the bad people in the world can be brought to justice.â
âYes, itâs just a matter of time.â
âYouâre optimistic. Letâs go.â
âAlright.â Gu Chengrui replied and climbed into the carriage. After sitting down, he poured himself a cup of tea to warm his hands before briefly explaining what happened to Mrs. Cui.
King Rui nodded after listening. âThe rest is up to you. If you need manpower, remember to let me know.â
Two hours later, the capital knew that Mother God had manifested
The saying that good and evil would be rewarded quickly spread. Even children who could not read could clearly repeat her words.
However, those who had done something wrong began to tremble. They feared getting struck by lightning.
When the Emperor received the news, he laughed and said, âGood, good. With the intimidation of Mother God, some people should restrain themselves.â
He looked at Eunuch Li. âIn a while, pass on my decree. Tomorrow, all the princes must go to the Mother God Temple to offer incense and money.â
âThis servant will go and give the orders.â After Eunuch Li finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
After he left, the Emperor fell silent. He had done many bad things in the past few years and didnât know if Mother God would settle the score with him too.
In short, many people had the same mentality, leading to the exceptionally exuberant incense offerings in the various Mother God Temples.
Gu Chengrui returned home and went to the study to find Zhou Ying, who was practicing calligraphy in her room. âBabe, thanks for the hard work.â
âItâs alright. Iâll recover soon. Remember to send someone to the Yang residence to protect the siblings in case Yang Shicheng makes a move.â
âDonât worry, Iâve already borrowed four men from King Rui. If anything really happens, they will act in time.â
âThatâs good. By the way, shouldnât we recruit some men too? We shouldnât keep using other peopleâs guards.â
âWe canât rush this. Everyone in the capital could be a spy, so we have to be careful about this. Lin Yitian and the other three have already started vetting candidates.â
âGood. After Yang Wanning and her stuff are done, weâll head to the manor to stay there for some time..â
