âDonât worry, everything has been dealt with. They wonât find trouble with you anymore.â Zhang Ping nodded with a smile.
Of course, he would not kill the innocent. He had thoroughly interrogated these people.
To put it bluntly, they were a group of bandits who robbed and killed. Their ruthlessness has harmed many people over the past few years.
It just so happened that the people from the Lu family were looking for someone to deal with the Gu couple, so they found them and arranged for them to come over.
âHow did the Lu family get the news that we were leaving the capital? Did they mention this?â Zhou Ying asked thoughtfully.
Could Xiaxiang have leaked the news? But she had not gone out these few days, or was there another spy in the residence that she had not discovered?
âWell, I donât know about this. They only said that they were following orders.â Zhang Ping shook his head.
âIt must be hard on you today, General Zhang. We will treat you to a big meal when we return to the capital.â Gu Chengrui said.
âAlright, Iâll remember that.
âI have to report to General Xiang Zhou. See you later.â
âAlright, letâs talk later.â Gu Chengrui sent him out after he finished speaking.
Later, the couple took Gu Chenglin out for a meal. When they saw that a restaurant had pigeon soup on the menu, Gu Chengrui bought a portion for himself and packed another portion to go. He handed the soup to King Rui and left.
When Gu Chenglin was about to return to his room, Zhou Ying asked, âDo you need someone to accompany you?â
âNo need; Iâm not afraid.â Gu Chenglin paused momentarily, blushed, and immediately shook his head.
He pushed his door open and walked in.
Seeing this, Zhou Ying smiled and did not say anything else. Instead, she turned around and went back into her house.
Gu Chengrui followed them in and asked curiously, âWhat do you mean? Is Gu Chenglin afraid of sleeping alone?â
âI think he was just scared by what happened today, so heâs a little timid.â
Gu Chengrui recalled the scene and immediately understood his feelings.
Gu Chenglin was a child who had never seen blood. He would inevitably be afraid after witnessing such a bloody scene. He had to give him some guidance as soon as possible, or it would leave him with psychological trauma.
He spoke out, âYou go ahead and rest. Iâll go and accompany him.â
âAlright, Iâll go back to the interspace and see whatâs going on with the Lu family.â
âLetâs meet up after this. Come and pick me up at midnight.â Gu Chengrui then went straight to the next room, but only after locking the door from the inside.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ying entered her interspace and found the Marquis of Dingâan Residence through a Mother God Temple. Finally, she fixed her gaze on Mrs. Lu.
At this moment, Mrs. Lu was eating under the service of servants. Her lunch was even more extravagant than that of the Emperor himself.
There were eight dishes and one soup, and each dish was exquisite. The food combination was also excellent.
While she was eating, Zhou Ying scoured the entire Marquis Dingâan Residence.
Needless to say, they were pretty cunning. There was nothing in the residence that would expose them.
They werenât like Yang Shicheng, who left some incriminating evidence in the residence.
However, she had to admit that life in the Marquis of Dingâan Residence was indeed more luxurious than that in the Imperial Palace.
After a round of searching and finding nothing valuable, she returned to Mrs. Luâs place.
At this time, Mrs. Lu had already eaten and drank her fill. Two servant girls were serving her, flossing her teeth, and rinsing her mouth.
After she was done, she exercised and played with her Buddha beads for a while before asking the servants to leave.
After everyone left, Mrs. Lu looked at a small door and said, âMagu, come out.â
âThis servant greets mistress.â Magu came in and kneeled.
âHow did it go? Did it succeed?â
