Chapter 72: Caught in the act



Gu Feirui used up his last bit of strength to open his eyes, and suddenly found a white figure standing in front of his bed, with a swollen face smiling at him.

When he found that he had opened his eyes, the figure seemed to be even happier. On the terrifying face, the corners of the mouth seemed to be grinning wider and wider, revealing the black fangs inside.

Then she suddenly pounced at him, trying desperately to squeeze into his body. No matter how he struggled, it was of no avail, and then he lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he recalled the face in front of the bed. Although it was pale and swollen, the whole face was exactly Yuan Mingjun's.

After hearing what he said, Gu Lingze frowned.

There is a saying in Taoism: People should not scream when they meet ghosts, and ghosts should not laugh when they see people.

This sentence means that if someone sees a ghost, don't scream in panic, otherwise the ghost doesn't know that you can see him, and he will discover it when you scream.

Ghosts cannot smile when they see people. If a ghost appears in front of a person on its own initiative and has a blank expression on its face, it will generally not harm you unless special circumstances occur. But if it smiles at you, it will definitely come to take your life.

It was not surprising to discover that Yuan Mingjun wanted to harm Gu Feirui, but there was one thing that Gu Lingze couldn't understand.

Not to mention that Gu Feirui was not the direct murderer of Yuan Mingjun. Even if Yuan Mingjun believed that he wanted revenge, he would not wait until now.

The man had been dead for two years, and he had never heard of a ghost lurking around to recuperate and wait for the next day.

No matter what the truth of the matter is, maybe we can find out if we catch the person who put something in the tree hole tonight.

When the moon was at its zenith, a dark shadow approached the locust tree stealthily. Just as it was about to take out something from inside, it was caught by Gu Xiuyi and Zhao Chengmo who were lying in ambush on the tree.

"Who are you? Let me go." the man shouted in pain.

When Gu Xiuyi heard the voice, he was stunned. He took the person to the main hall and found that the person was Gu Yangjia.

Gu Yangjia thought that everyone in the mansion was asleep, but he didn't expect that they were all sitting here neatly dressed. He suddenly felt a little panicked.

"Dad, Mom, it's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet?" He said this and then laughed awkwardly twice.

"I'm not feeling well, so I'm going to go back to sleep." After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.

"Stop!" Gu Tianhua called out to him.

"Dad, is there anything else?" When Gu Yangjia asked this question, his expression became noticeably stiff.

"Since you want to sleep, why are you running under that tree so late at night?"

Gu Tianhua looked at him with a frosty expression, and Gu Yangjia swallowed subconsciously.

"Dad, why are you so serious? You scared me." Gu Feirui looked at everyone with grievance, but found that no one paid attention to him.

Gu Tianhua spoke even more angrily, "Tell me quickly! Where are you and what are you doing?"

Although Gu Yangjia was not his, Gu Tianhua's, child, and he was not a loving father, he had never treated him badly in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

If Gu Yangjia really did it, he would never let him off easily.

Gu Yangjia cast a pleading look at Xie Qingwan, but the other party ignored him, so he could only bite the bullet and continue to lie.

"I lost something near there during the day, and I remembered it when I was lying in bed at night, so I got up and went to look for it."

"What?"

"It's a jade pendant. Although it's not very valuable, it was given to me by the Third Prince, so I treasure it very much."

"What nonsense!" Gu Tianhua said sternly.

"Even if you wanted to find it, why didn't you ask your servants to help you?"

"You are still full of lies!"

When Gu Yangjia heard this, he knelt down hurriedly, stammering and unable to explain clearly.

Seeing him like this, Gu Lingze obviously knew something, so he took a step forward and put the thing in his hand in front of him.

"Do you know that this thing is called the Luoyin Pot, and it is an extremely evil object? If you didn't want to harm anyone, why would you deliberately hide it?"

"Who are you? How dare you question me?" Gu Yangjia shouted angrily.

"Shut up!" Xie Qingwan scolded.

"Mom~ Why are you so mean to me too?"

"If he hadn't saved your second brother, he would probably be dead now."

"What did you do right? You are still so arrogant and rude." Xie Qingwan scolded without showing any mercy.

Gu Yangjia showed a disdainful expression on his face, "Can he save Gu Feirui? That thing is..."

Having said half of what he was saying, Gu Yangjia suddenly stopped talking and looked at the Gu couple anxiously.

Gu Xiuyi stepped forward, grabbed the front of his collar and lifted him up.

"Who gave you this? Tell me now!"

"Gu Xiuyi, you are so brave! I am the concubine that the Third Prince is going to marry. How dare you do this to me?!"

Gu Xiuyi snorted coldly and said grimly: "Who is he? Do I have to look at other people's faces when I teach my brother a lesson?"

Gu Yangjia struggled in frustration, but still couldn't get rid of Gu Xiuyi's hand.

"Let me go!"

"Xiu Yi, go to the Third Prince's residence now and tell him that the marriage between our two families is off. I will apologize to the Emperor for the rest."

Gu Feirui was horrified when he heard this, "Dad, Dad, please don't let my brother go, I said it's not okay!"

Gu Yangjia and Gu Feirui have been at odds with each other since childhood, and he has been harboring deep resentment.

That day, the third prince came to propose marriage, and Gu Feirui treated him badly in front of Qi Yixuan. Naturally, he was angry and embarrassed, but Gu Yangjia had no other thoughts at this time.

Before the marriage proposal, Gu Yangjia would go to the prince's house every now and then.

Now that the wedding date has been set, he has become even more unscrupulous and wishes he could just live in the Third Prince's residence.

The day before yesterday, Qi Yixuan asked him with a smile what happened between him and Gu Feirui that day.

Because Gu Yangjia always boasted that he was the apple of everyone's eye in the General's Mansion. Whether it was the Gu couple or the Gu brothers, they all loved him very much.

But it was obvious that Gu Feirui was confronting him that day, and Gu Xiuyi also said that they have been like this since childhood.

Gu Yangjia was flustered by the question and didn't know how to explain for a moment.

After he managed to fool him with a few words, the Third Prince turned displeased and told him to go back to his own house.

As Gu Yangjia walked on the road, he became angrier and angrier, and his hatred for Gu Feirui reached its highest point.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Bao Min, the steward of the Third Prince's Mansion, caught up with him, comforted him with a few words, and then took out these two things.

Tell him to put the thing inside the locust tree trunk closest to Gu Feirui's courtyard after he returns home. Whoever the thing is closest to will be in bad luck. This can be considered as a way to vent his anger.
