Zhu Yueran paused when she met her junior brother's gaze, then said, "You guys go first, I'll stay here and wait."
Waiting for what? Naturally, they're waiting for the villain's accomplices, who will then bury the person. Junior Brother wouldn't leave without saying that; they'll just trick him into leaving first.
At the Gu residence, Steward Gu hurriedly arrived at the secret room in Wu Lianlian's backyard. This secret room was not used normally; Steward Gu would only come here to meet Wu Lianlian when Master Gu was at the residence.
When Mr. Gu was not home, the two of them spoke directly in the room.
At this moment, Wu Lianlian tiptoed to her feet, then took out a small bottle from her bosom, poured out a pill, and fed it into Master Gu's mouth. After confirming that he had swallowed it, she put on her outer robe and entered the secret room.
“Madam, Fu Jiasheng has been rescued. It was Gu Yiqiao who brought people to rescue him,” Butler Gu said after a pause. “It seems that the people who helped rescue him were those white-clad men who have always opposed the Prince. The five sons of the Zhou family were also with him.”
Wu Lianlian heard the white-clad man's grim expression, but she quickly calmed down. After a long pause, she spoke, "I didn't expect Gu Yiqiao to be so lucky. After being rescued by Old Man Fu, he was rescued by the Zhou family."
Then, along with the Zhou family, they encountered the man in white. The man in white not only helped the Zhou family but also Gu Yiqiao. So, are they going to come to the Gu residence to deal with me next?
Butler Gu thought to himself, "Is there any need to guess? Gu Yiqiao will definitely come back for revenge. Who would be willing to give away his mother's dowry and the Gu family's vast fortune?"
“Only the master can help us now. Gu Yiqiao is the eldest son, and the master values him highly. But the young master and his wife are also valued by the master. No matter what, the master will not let anything happen to his wife,” Butler Gu said in a low voice.
"I, Wu Lianlian, am not so low as to need Old Man Gu to make decisions for me. The Gu family should only belong to me. Why should I let others control it?"
Wu Lianlian manages most of the Gu family's businesses. Even if Old Master Gu were to die immediately, she wouldn't be worried; on the contrary, she would be even happier, as the entire Gu family would then be hers.
"Let's go all the way and kill the old man." Wu Lianlian's face was cold, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
"Isn't this too hasty? The authorities might get suspicious," Steward Gu asked hesitantly.
"Don't worry about the government. I have my own plans. Gu Yiqiao must die, but the old man will definitely disagree. So let him go down to join his son." Wu Lianlian's mind was made up. Butler Gu knew he couldn't change her mind, so he didn't say anything more.
However, he had to inform the prince about this first, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain it to the prince if something unexpected happened.
