Chapter 426: The bastard born by a bitch, it would be better if he died

After all the guests left, Gu Junze ordered the door to be closed.

Chu Ruohan handed her daughter to the care of the nanny and sat down with Gu Junze: "What are you going to do with them?"

Gu Junze's face was stern: "First interrogate them and see if there are other people behind this."

Song Ruyan couldn't help but interrupt: "Don't interrogate him, just beat him to death. He dared to plot against the child, he deserves to die!"

Soon, Gu's mother, who was tied up, was roughly brought up by two guards.

Her hair was disheveled, her clothes were in disarray, and she looked extremely miserable. When she saw Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan, she started cursing like a mad dog, using foul language and cursing them to die early.

"You two bastards!" Mother Gu struggled hard, venom gushing from her mouth. "I shouldn't have been soft-hearted and killed you so sooner..."

Gu Junze's expression was stern, without a trace of emotion in his eyes: "You murdered my daughter, and you still have the nerve to speak so brazenly here?"

"This bastard born of a bitch, it's better for him to die!"

Gu Junze slapped her, and no one could insult his daughter in front of him...

Mother Gu's face twisted into a ferocious shape as she spat, "If you have the ability, kill me. Otherwise, I will make you pay for my son's life!"

Gu Junze waved his hand, signaling the guards to hold Gu's mother down. "Did you do this alone, or were you ordered to do so? Tell the truth!"

"Why should I tell you?" Mother Gu's face was still ferocious. "You can beat me up, kill me, I'll take over!"

Chu Ruohan smiled coldly: "In that case, then please invite the other 'distinguished guest' up."

As Chu Ruohan finished speaking, two other guards escorted Du Ruoling in.

Du Ruoling had woken up, and her face turned pale when she saw the scene in front of her.

"Let me go! I'm Princess Anping! How dare you do this to me?" Du Ruoling struggled, but was held tightly by the guards. "I want to tell the emperor that you've committed a serious crime by detaining the princess without permission!"

Chu Ruohan took a sip of tea slowly and said, "Princess Du, there's no need to worry. We just want you to explain why your maid is sneaking around in the backyard of my house."

Du Ruoling shook her head in panic when she heard this: "I don't know what you are talking about! Her behavior has nothing to do with me!"

She turned to look at Gu Junze and said calmly, "General Gu, what happened today has nothing to do with me. I know nothing. Please let me go!"

Gu Junze's eyes were like knives, piercing Du Ruoling so much that she couldn't bear to look directly at him. "Do you think I will believe it?"

"Someone, bring that maid up." Chu Ruohan ordered softly.

A maid quickly brought in Du Ruoling's personal maid. The maid knelt on the ground, trembling all over, already frightened out of her wits.

Chu Ruohan looked down at the maid: "Tell me, who is behind the rumors outside?"

The maid bit her lip, her face showing a look of struggle, and her eyes kept glancing at Du Ruoling, as if seeking instructions.

"Why don't you tell the truth?" Song Ruyan stepped forward, a whip in her hand. "Do you want to taste this?"

The maid was horrified upon seeing this and kowtowed profusely, "I confess! It was the princess who asked me to bribe the little beggar and spread the rumors about the general's wife and Master Gu!"

"Pa!" Du Ruoling slapped the maidservant fiercely, "How dare you frame the master?"

Chu Ruohan snorted coldly: "Du Ruoling, at this point, what are you still trying to argue about?"

Du Ruoling's eyes flashed with viciousness, then she straightened her back and laughed instead: "Chu Ruohan, do you think you won? The person Gu Chengan loves in his heart is me! It's me!"

Chu Ruohan sneered, "Du Ruoling, you slandered the official's family and should be executed according to the law. Do you know your crime?"

"Hmph, I'm a princess, and you dare to touch me?" Du Ruoling still didn't give up and tried to use her status to suppress others.

Song Ruyan had been rubbing her hands in anticipation for a long time, and now she couldn't hold back any longer: "Let me beat you up before I behead you!"

Without waiting for Chu Ruohan to respond, Song Ruyan raised her hand and slapped Du Ruoling hard in the face.

Du Ruoling was knocked back and staggered, losing her balance and falling to the ground.

"Bitch! How dare you hit me?" Du Ruoling covered her face, her eyes full of disbelief.

Song Ruyan refused to give in and kicked him again: "Where's the princess? Now she's a prisoner!"

Du Ruoling was beaten so hard that she screamed and begged for mercy on the ground: "Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"

Song Ruyan stopped and looked down at her condescendingly: "What did you say?"

Du Ruoling looked at Chu Ruohan with a vicious look: "Gu Junze is the only one who treats her as a treasure. She is a monster. She and Gu Chengyan are both reborn!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room fell silent.

Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan looked at each other, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes.

Gu Junze already knew these things, but he didn't understand how Du Ruoling knew them.

Chu Ruohan shook her head slightly, signaling Gu Junze not to panic.

"Rebirth?" Chu Ruohan pretended to be confused. "Princess Du, what are you talking about again?"

"Pretend! Keep pretending!"

A cold glint flashed in Gu Junze's eyes. "Come here, send these two to the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture and tell them that they attempted to murder the young girl of the General's Mansion. They will be dealt with according to the laws of Jingzhao Prefecture."

"Yes!" The guards responded in unison and stepped forward to escort Gu's mother and Du Ruoling.

"No! Don't!" Du Ruoling struggled desperately, "Gu Junze! Chu Ruohan! You can't do this to me! I'm the princess!"

Mother Gu didn't struggle. Instead, she showed a strange smile, her eyes full of resentment: "Gu Junze, even if I turn into a ghost, I will come after you two and take your lives! I won't let you go!"

Gu Junze had no expression on his face: "Take it away."

As the screams of Gu's mother and Du Ruoling gradually faded away, Chu Ruohan let out a long sigh and slumped in the chair.

"How do you think Du Ruoling knew my secret?" Chu Ruohan asked softly.

Gu Junze frowned, "Maybe he overheard something, but after all, there is no evidence. Jingzhao Prefecture will not believe such absurd words."

"But I'm still a little worried that she knows about this." Chu Ruohan said worriedly.

Gu Junze held her hand and said, "Don't worry. Rebirth is a matter known only to heaven, earth, you, and me. No matter what they say, it's just nonsense. No one will believe it."

Chu Ruohan nodded, her mood slightly calmed down: "Thank you this time for setting up this trap to catch all those who want to harm me and my child."

Gu Junze gently stroked her cheek: "Anyone who dares to hurt you and the child will be an enemy of me, Gu Junze."
