"Since we're already here, we should naturally go in," Zhu Lin said casually.
Judging from what he said, it seemed like he was just there for a spring outing, and whether or not to go in depended on him, not on the owner of the courtyard.
Xingxing thought that this was really not good, it seemed very impolite.
“That wicked woman is inside. Her spies clearly saw us just now and went to inform her. She knows we're here, but she keeps the courtyard gates closed and refuses to see guests. That's strange. Wasn't it said that this concubine controls the entire Gu family and has a lot of power? Her timid behavior must be suspicious.” Zhu Qingruo analyzed seriously.
“Junior sister is right. That woman is definitely doing something shameful. If we don’t expose her now, when will we?” Zhu Changge agreed and was about to use her internal energy to break down the door.
But before she could react, the courtyard gate was opened from the inside. It was none other than Steward Gu who opened the gate. He had just learned from the servants that Gu Yiqiao had returned with a lot of helpers.
He was discussing with Wu Lianlian how to deal with them when, before they could even come up with a plan, these helpers had already come knocking on their door.
What are they trying to do? I've never seen such a reckless and arrogant opponent.
"Who are you people?" Butler Gu preemptively asked, pretending not to recognize the group.
“Who we are is none of your business. We want to see Wu Lianlian. Tell her to come out,” Zhu Qingruo said loudly.
"Do you think you can just see Madam whenever you want?" Butler Gu was extremely angry, his eyes dark and gloomy.
"It's just a concubine, what's with all this talk about seeing her or not? Let her out. Settle the score between her and Gu Yiqiao today. Hurry up, we're busy, we don't have time to waste on these trivial matters." Zhu Qingruo conveyed his meaning completely at Zhu Lin's prompting.
"The Gu family's affairs are none of the business of outsiders. I advise you to leave immediately, otherwise..." Butler Gu was interrupted before he could finish his harsh words.
All we heard Zhu Qingruo say was, "Enough with the nonsense. We don't want to see you. Get out of the way."
The next moment, the little girl flashed forward, trying to push aside Steward Gu who was blocking the courtyard gate, but he dodged her and the two soon started fighting.
After a few moves, Steward Gu was knocked back by Zhu Qingruo's palm strike. He spat out a mouthful of blood and was shocked. Although he knew that the white-clad man was very skilled in martial arts, Steward Gu had never actually fought him. He had thought that this youngest girl was the weakest among all the white-clad men.
He only realized after the fight that his opponent was not weak at all; he had underestimated her strength.
"I didn't realize you were so skilled. But you look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?" Zhu Qingruo stared at Butler Gu's face with a suspicious look.
Butler Gu's heart skipped a beat. Oh no! He was with the prince in Shanquan Village last time. The man in white arrived just then. Although he and the prince managed to escape in time, they still met. If the man remembered, his and his wife's identities would be exposed.
No, he had to do something to distract them. With that thought, Butler Gu suddenly rushed forward and struck Zhu Qingruo in the face.
Zhu Qingruo dodged the attack by sidestepping, then struck out with her palm, sending Steward Gu flying. Steward Gu fell to the ground, spitting blood. This time, his injuries were much more severe than before, and he had difficulty getting up.
"You've got guts. You know you can't win, but you still insist on fighting. I'll grant your wish and keep going until you submit." Zhu Qingruo prepared to deliver a few more blows until the other party couldn't cause any more trouble.
However, just as she raised her hand and before she could even use her internal energy, Xingxing stepped forward and pointed at Steward Gu, saying, "I remember who this old man is. He was with that Prince Gong in Shanquan Village last time. They were harming the villagers when we arrived, and they quickly slipped away."
“Oh, now that Xingxing mentions it, I remember now too. Yes, this person is in cahoots with that Prince Gong,” Zhu Qingruo suddenly realized the truth. “So this Wu Lianlian must also be Prince Gong’s man. No wonder they are so similarly evil. It turns out they are in cahoots. That makes sense.”
"Haha, we caught them! We've all been arrested! We can't let him escape again!" Xingxing clapped her hands, feeling a great sense of accomplishment. She had even participated in catching the bad guys!
Butler Gu narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. Of the four people present, the other three knew martial arts, but this delicate little princess was completely powerless. The prince was determined to kill her, so perhaps he could take the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. He didn't believe she could escape.
"ah."
Just as Butler Gu was about to make a move, he was struck by the boy's sword sheath as soon as he leaped up. He fell heavily to the ground in an odd posture. He had been acupunctured and was unable to move his entire body, still lying on the ground in the posture of leaping up to attack.
"Dare to lay a hand on Longlong? You're tired of living?" Zhu Lin's eyes were filled with displeasure, then she calmly said to Xingxing, "He tried to kill you just now. Go and avenge yourself."
Xingxing blinked, looking at the person who couldn't move on the ground with some distress. How should she take revenge? She was afraid that punching and kicking would tire her out, and if she took a knife to cut him, she was worried that his blood would splatter all over her.
After looking around, the little girl sighed. This was the only way. She ran to the corner, picked up a large brick, and ran back.
"You big bad guy, you wanted to kill me? I'll smash you to death!"
So Butler Gu watched helplessly as the little girl picked up a large brick and smashed it down on his head, once, twice, three times, until she knocked him unconscious. Before losing consciousness, Butler Gu only had one feeling.
That fucking hurts.
Xingxing thought she did a fantastic job. She didn't smash his head, but she knocked him unconscious. This guy must be in a lot of pain. This old guy's head is pretty tough. It made a lot of noise when she hit him, but he only got a big purplish-blue bump on his forehead. The skin wasn't even broken.
