Chapter 71 I, Deng Youning, can’t afford to be your mother
Recently it is a good time to confiscate property. It has only been two months since the He family was confiscated, and dozens of officials from the Gu family, the Wu family and other families have been found to have committed corruption and abuse of power by the Inspector Jun Chenyi. Li Tianzhuo led the Silver Dragon Guard to confiscate their property and send them into exile.
It takes more than three months to walk from the capital to the north.
The first group of exiles from the He family had already reached the vicinity of Canglan Prefecture.
Li Tianzhuo told his men not to follow him any further, and Jun Wenci's men also took action.
Early this morning, the escorting officers sent a pigeon to say that they were ambushed by a group of masked men in Canglan Prefecture.
All the exiled prisoners of the He family died, and several officials were also killed or injured. There were only three survivors, all of whom were skilled in martial arts.
In addition, Deng was abducted by masked men and her whereabouts are unknown.
The masked man came with great force and killed people without blinking an eye. I'm afraid Deng is in great danger.
When Deng Zheng learned the news during court, he was so heartbroken that he fainted and was carried back by eunuchs.
After learning the whole story, Gu couldn't help but feel sad and vomited blood at the door.
"The Duke has been sent back, and we servants have to hurry back to the palace to take up our duties."
Several young eunuchs bowed to Han Qiongyue and left.
After Deng Xuelian was exiled, the Gu family never recovered and now Han Qiongyue is the head of the Zhenguo Mansion.
When someone came to the palace, she would naturally go out to greet them.
The news from the front yard soon reached Deng Youning's ears.
When Li Tianzhuo withdrew the secret guards, she thought that Deng Xuelian would be kidnapped by Jun Wenci, and was not surprised.
"Grandma, how is father?"
Upon learning that Deng Zheng was carried back unconscious, Deng Youning was afraid that Han Qiongyue could not handle it alone, so she came out to take a look.
As soon as her figure passed through the corridor, Gu saw her, her eyes full of cruelty and hatred, as if Deng Zheng was not unconscious on his own, but was knocked unconscious by her.
"I've asked someone to take him back to the house."
Han Qiongyue replied in a faint voice.
She didn't know that Deng Xuelian and Jun Wenci were pregnant, and she thought that Deng Xuelian was abducted by a bad guy, and she was quite sad.
Deng Youning walked forward and sneered when he saw that Gu had just spit out blood all over the floor.
"why are you laughing?"
"Lian'er is in danger now, are you so proud of it?"
Gu no longer has any concerns and wants to completely break off relations with Deng Youning.
"My Lian'er could have been the Crown Princess. What a wonderful marriage!"
"It must have been on the day of the Holy Birthday that you, a bitch, went to the Queen Mother and said something, which made the Queen Mother grant her marriage to the He family the next day."
"The Queen Mother has granted you a marriage, and there is no way to divorce. She is no longer a threat to you, but you have teamed up with Li Tianzhuo to have her entire in-laws convicted and exiled."
"Aren't you just trying to push her into a desperate situation?"
Lian'er's husband's family and her own family were both raided by Li Tianzhuo, who was good friends with Deng Youning.
During these days, Gu has thought things through more or less.
She is going to settle the score with that evil girl Deng Youning today!
“What a mess!”
"Do you know what your two good children did to Ningning at the palace banquet on the night of the Saint's birthday?"
Although Han Qiongyue knew that Deng Youning would never be able to integrate into the Deng family, she really couldn't bear to see the rift between mother and daughter grow deeper and deeper.
She took the initiative to explain what happened that night when Deng Xuelian and Deng Yi wanted to destroy Deng Youning's innocence.
Han Qiongyue doesn't need to tell you these things.
Gu, who was also involved, knew it very well.
"Lian'er, isn't that also for the good of our entire Duke's Mansion?"
"We can't refuse the He family's marriage. If Deng Youning doesn't marry him, how can Lian'er marry into the East Palace?"
"Mother, if our family could produce a queen, wouldn't it be a great honor for our family?"
"What does Deng Youning's little sacrifice count for?"
Han Qiongyue wanted to scold her daughter-in-law who was so stubborn and evil-hearted, but was stopped by Deng Youning.
"Grandma, it's time to put an end to the relationship between Madam Gu and me!"
She was resolute.
Gu had an affair with the groom and gave birth to Deng Yi, and she had planned to reveal the fact at Deng Zheng's birthday party soon.
So, I will take advantage of today to sever this mother-daughter relationship with Gu, which is worse than nothing, so as to avoid any more trouble when the truth is revealed.
"What do you want to do?"
Han Qiongyue looked at her, her eyes full of worry.
She guessed in her heart what Deng Youning was going to do today, but she didn't expect that this child would be so decisive and desperate.
"Madam Dou, help grandma go back to rest."
Deng Youning did not explain to Han Qiongyue and directly ordered Nanny Dou to pull Han Qiongyue away.
Gu also ordered someone to bring a barbed whip.
As soon as he saw Han Qiongyue walking away, Gu wanted to whip Deng Youning.
Deng Youning reacted very quickly, turned around quickly and avoided the whip.
The whip hit the stone sculpture nearby, making a crisp sound.
"Oh, what? You want to avenge your adopted daughter by beating your biological daughter to death?"
Seeing this, Deng Youning asked with a sneer.
"Deng Youning, you and Li Tianzhuo conspired to murder my daughter Lian'er, causing her to not know whether to live or die. If I don't vent my anger today, I'm not your mother!"
Gu pulled the whip out of Deng Youning's hand with force and wanted to continue beating her.
She really wanted to beat to death this evil girl who only made her angry and went against the whole family.
Hearing her mention the word "mother", Deng Youning laughed at herself.
"So Madam Gu knows that I am your biological daughter?"
"I really don't know what kind of magic potion Deng Xuelian gave you?"
"I have been away for sixteen years and now I am home. Not only have you ignored me and shown no love for me, but you have also helped her to harm me."
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs! I, Deng Youning, can't afford to be your mother!"
Having said this, Deng Youning knelt down in front of Gu and kowtowed to her respectfully.
"First, I kowtow to thank my mother for giving birth to me and letting me suffer for sixteen years."
The moment he bowed his head, Gu's whip came.
But this time she didn't dodge, but faced it head-on.
The barbs tore her sleeves, and the whip hit her forearms hard, immediately tearing her skin and flesh.
She frowned in pain but continued to kowtow for the second time.
"Second kowtow, thank you mother and adopted daughter for harming me together and allowing me to see the world clearly."
The second whip was not very severe, it landed on the shoulder, and the clothes were not damaged.
"The third time I kowtow, thank you mother for breaking off all ties with me today, allowing me to do whatever I want in the future."
This time, Gu's whip hit her when she raised her head, and it landed right on her cheek.
A bloody whip mark instantly appeared on the fair little face.
It looks hideous and scary.
The maids nearby were all surprised when they saw this.
A woman’s appearance is the most important thing. If she gets a scar, what will she do in the future?
After bowing his head, Deng Youning also stood up.
But the Gu family didn't seem to be satisfied.
She continued to swing the whip, wanting to continue beating Deng Youning.
Deng Youning volunteered to be whipped three times in order to repay her father's kindness. She had no obligation to continue to be whipped.
When Gu's whip fell for the fourth time, Deng Youning caught it with his bare hands.
The barbs on the whip quickly pierced her palm.
Blood dripped down his wrist.
Deng Youning exerted force and pulled the whip out of Gu's hand and threw it aside.
"Madam Gu, I have repaid your kindness with three lashes and three kowtows today. From now on, our mother-daughter relationship ends here. Please take care of yourself, Madam!"
Her voice was as cold as winter, as if her heart was filled with chillness and frozen by frost and snow, unable to feel a trace of warmth.
"Today, I, Deng Youning, have severed my relationship with Madam Gu. Please tell everyone you have seen this."
Before leaving, she gave some instructions to the maids and old women who were watching the fun around.
She wanted to spread this matter in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and throughout the capital, letting everyone know that she, Deng Youning, had severed her mother-daughter relationship with the Gu family.
After the incident, Deng Youning turned around and left without even glancing at Gu.
