Chapter 220 Siege of the Mansion
Gu Huan was sleeping soundly.
I don't know what time I fell asleep until I was woken up by a loud noise outside the window.
"Should we wake up the lady?"
"No need, just stay here and I'll go find the old lady."
"yes."
Gu Huan sat up suddenly: "Donghua, Sister Zhilan, what happened?"
Zhou Zhilan and Donghua were stunned and muttered in a low voice: "Ah, I woke him up after all."
The two of them hurried into the house.
Zhou Zhilan leaned over and pulled the quilt for her: "Don't worry about it, it's nothing, I and my brother are here, and at worst there's still the old lady."
When Gu Huan heard this, she knew it was related to her.
He pulled her sleeve: "What's the matter?"
"The Gu family brought the seriously injured Gu Yuan and surrounded the gate. They were demanding an explanation from the Madam."
Donghua's face was very serious: "They brought a lot of people with them, and they shouted all the way, which attracted a lot of onlookers. They didn't have good intentions."
Gu Huan frowned: "Gu Yuan? He was fine when he went back."
"Yes, I'm here to pick a fight."
"Who's leading?"
"That's Aunt Huang."
Gu Huan sneered: "She can actually still make things happen in Wenchang Marquis's Mansion."
"Touhua, change your clothes."
Zhou Zhilan held her down: "Chen Li said that your pregnancy is unstable, you need to rest, you don't need to intervene in such a small matter."
"I must completely resolve the issue of Wenchang Marquis Mansion! I will make sure they don't dare to harass me again. I don't need to alarm my mother and make her worry."
When Gu Huan, wrapped in a thick silver fox cloak, walked to the gate, she heard Aunt Huang calling out in a shrill voice outside.
"Gu Huan, get out here! You are guilty of patricide! You stole the son of the Mu family and want to make the Mu family extinct. How can you be so vicious!"
Gu Huan felt a surge of anger rising to the top of his head.
He walked out with his fully armed guards.
He stood at a higher level and glanced around coldly.
In addition to the servants of the Gu Mansion, there were many unfamiliar faces. All of them were strong and wore the clothes of the Gu Mansion's guards.
They look well-trained and don't look like the guards of the Gu family.
Gu Huan became alert.
When Aunt Huang and the Gu family saw her appear, they were frightened by the intimidating pressure from her and a group of black-robed guards and fell silent for a moment.
Aunt Huang came back to her senses, straightened her back and shouted angrily: "How dare you, a vicious and cold-blooded woman, come out! You robbed the Marquis's two sons, and you want to kill your own father?"
Gu Huan looked with disgust at Gu Yuan who was lying on the recliner, dying.
He was covered in blood and had nothing to cover himself with. In the cold winter of late this month, he was frozen like a fish corpse.
"Dead?"
Aunt Huang sneered, "Of course he's not dead yet, you want him to be dead. He just wanted to bring back his two sons, and he invited you to go back tomorrow to attend his birthday party. How dare you beat him like this? Do you still have any humanity? He is your father."
Gu Huan gathered her fox fur gloves and instructed Chi Yu beside her, "Go to Kaifeng Prefecture and ask the prefect to send a coroner and bailiffs."
Aunt Huang's face changed: "This is a family matter, there is no need to call the people from Kaifeng Mansion."
Gu Huan smiled: "Didn't they say that I killed my father and took his son away? How can we make a clear judgment without calling the people from Kaifeng Prefecture? If I am guilty, Kaifeng Prefecture will have to arrest me, right?"
She suddenly cried out, "Donghua, go get a quilt. The people in the Gu Mansion don't even take their master seriously. Are they just going to let the bloody Marquis freeze to death? When the Kaifeng Mansion comes, it won't be clear whether he was beaten to death or frozen to death."
Donghua responded loudly, and soon a servant came with a quilt to cover him.
Aunt Huang pushed the man away angrily and said, "Who knows if there are needles or drugs hidden in your quilt?"
Gu Huan didn't even think twice and pointed at Aunt Huang: "Take off her cloak and cover the Marquis with it."
Before Aunt Huang could react, two guards from the Mu Mansion rushed over, peeled off the cloak, and covered Gu Yuan with it.
Gu Huan felt extremely disgusted by Aunt Huang's constant calls of father and daughter and patricide, and she suddenly became more angry than ever before.
Although he spoke calmly, he was angry: "First of all, I have nothing to do with Gu Yuan. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will pull out your tongue on the spot!"
Aunt Huang's maid was putting a cloak on her. Upon hearing this, Aunt Huang widened her eyes and looked at Gu Huan in astonishment.
Gu Huan walked down the stairs step by step with a stern face. Chiyu and the other guards followed closely behind her, not leaving her side for fear that someone would do something rude to her.
"When Gu Yuan came to my house, I ordered him to be driven out. He is not worthy of entering the Duke's Mansion, and I don't bother to see him. As for my two younger brothers, they have obtained the consent of the Gu clan leaders to be raised by my side. How can there be any talk of taking my children away?"
"Besides, if the two brothers stay in the Marquis' Mansion, how will the children without a mother live? Do you think you, a concubine who only wants to ascend to the throne and become the Marquis' wife, will treat them well?"
As Gu Huan spoke, she moved closer to Aunt Huang, with a chill in her half-smile.
Although Aunt Huang had only met her twice, she had the impression that she was a woman who relied on men to get to her position. Without Mu Junyan, even if she was the Duke's wife, it would be just an empty title.
Therefore, Prince Jiang gave her a dozen people and asked her to cause trouble in front of the Duke Yong's mansion and kidnap Gu Huan in the chaos.
But she had never seen Gu Huan in such a horrifying state, and she was so frightened that she took two steps back.
Gu Huan took another step closer and said, "Once the people from Kaifeng Prefecture came and investigated, they knew where Gu Yuan was beaten. All the servants who came with him are witnesses.
Aunt Huang, you killed your husband and seized the property of the Marquis's Mansion, and then you came to cause trouble in front of the Duke's Mansion and put the blame on me. Who gave you the courage? ”
Aunt Huang's face changed drastically. She stepped back hastily and shouted, "Catch them now!"
Gu Huan heard her shout and saw her retreating. He grabbed her wrist and at the same time noticed murderous intent all around him.
When she looked up, she saw several burly unfamiliar faces rushing towards her.
Akabane and the others drew their swords and rushed forward without saying a word, and in an instant the two sides fought to a standstill.
Gu Huan turned to look at Gu Yuan and hurriedly ordered: "Don't let him die!"
Zhou Zhilan immediately understood what she meant. With a wave of her hand, several guards rushed towards Gu Yuan's position.
Sure enough, at the same time, someone was approaching Gu Yuan.
The guard rushed forward, grabbed the man's wrist, and suddenly found that he was holding a dagger in his hand.
Gu Huan's face turned cold and she turned to look at Aunt Huang who was being held by her.
When Aunt Huang saw Gu Yuan being carried into the Duke's Mansion and the two sides fighting fiercely, she became anxious.
While struggling desperately, she shouted: "Come and catch this unfilial daughter who killed her father. Whoever catches her will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver!"
The maids around her were also trying to snatch people, but were kicked away one by one by Zhou Zhilan.
Gu Huan's eyes darkened, she pulled out the dagger, and stabbed at Aunt Huang's shoulder without hesitation.
She screamed in pain and stretched out her sharp nails to scratch Gu Huan's face.
Gu Huan turned around and cut off all five of her fingers. Aunt Huang screamed and fainted on the ground holding her bloody hands.
Zhou Zhilan and Donghua drew their swords and protected Gu Huan tightly.
Suddenly, there were several dense whooshing sounds, followed by a scream, and a large number of people from the Gu family fell down.
Zhou Chunyu rushed out with a short crossbow in his hand, followed by a dozen people holding short crossbows, protecting Gu Huan behind them.
The other side's people were all shocked. After a moment of confusion, they heard the sound of galloping horses coming towards them.
