âIndeed. In the future, we donât have to worry about food on the surface.â After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she put the red contract in her interspace.
âMaster, someone is here to visit. She says sheâs your older sister.â Shizhu ran in and said.
âSister?â The husband and wife looked at each other and were stunned. Why didnât they know that they had an older sister in the capital?
âWhere is she now?â Gu Chengrui asked directly.
âIn the guest room in the front courtyard. I noticed she seemed quite anxious.â âTheyâre guests, so letâs go and take a look.â Gu Chengrui pulled Zhou Ying up and walked out.
When they saw the haggard woman standing in the room uneasily, the two of them were stunned.
They didnât know this person at all.
âLord Gu, Madam Gu, please save my master.â The woman kneeled down before they could speak.
âDid you find the wrong person? We donât know you.â Zhou Ying asked directly.
âNo, no, Iâm Zhao Xiuying, and my husband is Chen Peng, Gu Ziyiâs ex-husband.â The woman said with a smile.
âWhatâ¦â Gu Chengrui was astonished.
How thick-skinned must she be to come to them?
Zhou Ying kicked her in the stomach. âYouâre so bold to come begging the enemy.â
âJust the fact that youâve harmed Gu Ziyi and her children time and time again, do you think we will save him?â
âWe donât care about him. Please go back.â Gu Chengrui pulled Zhou Ying and said.
âDonât forget that those two children are Chen Pengâs children. If Chen Peng is convicted, they will also be implicated and not be able to take the imperial examination for three generations.â
âItâs true that itâs Chen Pengâs child, but they have already divorced. Moreover, the two children have changed their surnames to Gu. They have nothing to do with Chen Peng anymore.â
âBut the blood relationship between themâ¦â
âSo what? We can just protect the two children.
âAs for Chen Peng, he has nothing to do with us. So why do we have to save him?
âBesides, heâs an inhumane beast. Itâs already good that we didnât kill him ourselves, and you want us to save him? Donât dream about it. Itâs impossible.â Zhou Ying flat-out rejected her.
âChase her out. Sheâs not allowed to step into the residence in the future,â Zhou Ying informed Shizhu, who was standing at the side.
âYes.â Seeing this, Shi Zhu dragged Zhao Xiuying out.
Zhao Xiuying kneeled on the ground and begged, âI beg you. Please save him.
Otherwise, he will really be beheaded tomorrow.â
However, the couple just turned around and ignored her.
Zhao Xiuying couldnât outfight Shizhu, so she was thrown out of the residence unwillingly. In the end, she just continued kneeling at the entrance.
Seeing this, Niu Fugui had no choice but to tell the couple about it.
Gu Chengrui sneered. âChase her out once more. If she doesnât leave, send someone to bring her to the guards.â
âYes.â Niu Fugui nodded and brought two servants out.
âIâve never seen such a shameless person before,â Gu Chengrui said.
âWell, she wouldnât have done the things she did if she wasnât shameless.
âIt seems that everyone will be beheaded tomorrow.â
âThe Emperor is also cleaning up the loose ends. He canât leave his troubles to the new Emperor.
âBesides, their beheading was only fast-forwarded half a month earlier.â
âThatâs true. But I really didnât expect the Emperor to abdicate.â
âWith his body, who knows whenâ¦â Gu Chengrui paused for a moment. After making sure that there was no one around, he continued, âMaybe heâs afraid of more rebellion..â
