If my identity were exposed at this point, then everyone would know.

At this moment, Xia Ying, having received the news, stumbled over.

"Smack!"

Without saying a word, he slapped Xia Yuting hard across the face.

"Useless trash, more trouble than good. You were sent here to curry favor with the prefect's wife, not to be a joke."

Madam Gu waved her hand.

"No! I have a son and don't need unrelated people to show me filial piety."

"I've heard that Lord Xia was married before?"

Xia Ying frowned. Her maid had just told her that she lost her composure because someone had mentioned Gu Ying and Xia Yuting.

He was very puzzled. He had kept the matter of the Gu family very secret back then, and no one except Xia Yuting knew the truth.

If there is one, it's probably Gu Ying herself.

Xia Ying withdrew her sinister gaze and looked at Madam Gu with feigned respect.

"What you say is true, Madam. I have indeed been married."

Speaking of my first wife, I am also very sad. We were childhood sweethearts and loved each other very much.

Unfortunately, she was not blessed with good fortune; she fell ill and passed away shortly after passing the imperial examination.

Later, when my mother saw that I was depressed all day long, she brought my cousin from my aunt's family to our home to take care of me.

With his cousin's company, the official was able to cheer up...

"Ha!" Ning Bao sneered.

"Lord Xia, you're quite the storyteller!"

I think Sister Gu Ying didn't die of illness, but was murdered for money, right?

After Ning Bao finished speaking, she stopped looking at Xia Ying and turned directly to look at Gu Zheyuan.

"Lord Gu..."

Lord Gu?

Gu Zheyuan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Zhou Chengxing:

What does your daughter mean?

Zhou Chengxing shook his head:

I don't know either, you'll just have to wait and see.

Gu Zheyuan looked at Ning Bao nervously, afraid that he wouldn't be able to handle the challenge Ning Bao was offering.

Ning Bao looked at Gu Zheyuan and continued,

"Lord Gu, may Ningbao file a complaint?"

Gu Zheyuan nodded.

"Yes, of course!"

"How about I write you a complaint?"

Do you need to write a complaint paper to file a lawsuit?

Ning Bao really didn't know that.

She nodded repeatedly when she heard that Gu Zheyuan was going to write a complaint for her.

"Alright, alright, then thank you very much, Lord Gu."

Zhou Chengxing took a step forward.

"I'll write the complaint. Ningbao, tell your father the details, and I'll write it for you when I get here."

In the study, Ningbao watched Zhou Chengxing pick up his pen.

"Father, have you ever written a complaint?"

Zhou Chengxing shook his head.

"No."

Ning Bao paused for a moment...

Gu Zheyuan calmly began to write.

"But I have seen the legal documents."

………………

Fifteen minutes later, Ning Bao walked up to Gu Zheyuan with the complaint in her hand.

"Lord Gu, this is Ning Bao's complaint."

Ningbao was halfway through handing over the petition when she suddenly remembered that she seemed to have heard someone say that one had to kneel when meeting an official.

She lifted her skirt, preparing to kneel down...
