Chapter 57 Family Law
forecourt.
Yinzhi was tied to a bench, her face as pale as death.
Gu Wanru knelt on the ground and howled, "Father, Yinzhi was devoted to her husband, and it was Gu Huan's maid who took the wrong soup bowl, so you can't blame Yinzhi."
Gu Huan and Zhou Zhilan happened to hear everything. They stopped and watched from the side.
Gu Huan was very confused. If she took the wrong soup bowl, then who was the soup originally for?
Gu Huan saw a beautiful woman in a light red skirt kneeling beside Gu Wanru.
It’s Yaoyao.
In her previous life, after she was forced to become a concubine, she often brought the women in Mu An's backyard to isolate and bully her.
Sure enough, only she would have such dirty things.
Mu An stood behind Mu Junyan with his head down.
Mu Junyan was wearing a black robe and sitting on a chair, tapping the handle rhythmically with his fingers.
His cold eyes and silent pressure made those present dare not breathe.
The deep voice said slowly: "When the ancestor emperor conferred the title of Duke of Yong on my grandfather, he specially made this iron whip to enforce the Mu family's family rules. The Mu family army has always had strict military discipline, and so does the Duke's Mansion.
This whip has never been used to hit a woman, but if anyone dares to violate the Mu family rules, the family law will not tolerate it! The whip penetrated half an inch into the flesh, pulling out the flesh and tendons, and the person would be crippled if not killed. It teaches people to deeply understand what it means to be worse off than dead, and to never do evil again. ”
Akabane held a spiked iron whip and waved it in front of Yinzhi.
The sharp iron spikes were covered with black, old blood, and Yinzhi almost fainted from fright.
Gu Wanru was so frightened that she choked back her tears and stared blankly at the iron whip.
Mu An's face turned pale.
When he entered the mansion, Mu Junyan asked him to memorize the Mu family rules.
When his father was alive, he also told him to memorize the Mu family military regulations.
This iron whip of the Mu family's rules is enshrined in the ancestral hall. In all these years that he has been in the Mu family, Mu Junyan has never violated the family rules.
Zhou Chunyu frowned: "Aunt Yin, you'd better tell the truth. The Duke always keeps his word. Military law is as strict as family law."
Yinzhi trembled her lips and looked at Gu Wanru.
Gu Wanru gave her a threatening look, her face suddenly changed, and she started crying, holding her stomach.
"My stomach aches, father. Please let me leave first. I am pregnant with your grandson."
Doctor Sun appeared from nowhere, grabbed her hand and felt her pulse.
Then he stood up and bowed to Mu Junyan: "The fetus is fine."
Gu Wanru couldn't cry anymore.
"beat."
Mu Junyan said a few words lightly, and Chiyu whipped with his whip.
With a shrill scream, the iron whip flew in the air, splashing blood, and pieces of flesh hung from the barbs.
Gu Huan's face turned pale and she covered her mouth, feeling nauseous.
The whip didn't hit deep enough to injure his lungs, but his entire back was covered in blood.
Yinzhi fainted from the pain.
Gu Wanru sat down on the ground, shaking with fear.
"Give her a bowl of ginseng soup."
As soon as Mu Junyan finished speaking, Zhou Chunyu signaled the nanny beside him who was holding a bowl of ginseng soup to come forward, pinched Gu Wanru's chin, forced her to open her mouth, and poured the soup directly into her mouth.
The more awake Yinzhi was, the more acute her sense of pain was, and one whip would have made her feel worse than death.
Mu Junyan turned his head and looked at Mu An.
The nights are cold in early autumn.
But Mu'an's back was already soaked with sweat.
He was so frightened by his father's sharp eyes that he fell to his knees.
"Father, this has nothing to do with my son. It was that bitch Yinzhi who did this."
Mu Junyan laughed angrily: "How dare a little aunt drug me and Miss Gu?"
Who would believe that!
Gu Wanru's eyes were filled with tears, hiding the hatred that flashed across her eyes.
Mu An's eyes rolled: "It was Yinzhi who wanted to help you and your sister-in-law."
Mu Junyan stood up suddenly and kicked him hard in the chest. His face turned ashen and his chest heaved.
This is the child he raised!
"That's not the case."
Yaoyao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked at her.
She spoke in a delicate voice as if nothing had happened: "Yinzhi said that the young lady asked her to ask me for something that can make men and women close. I dare not give it to you carelessly, because that kind of thing can be light or heavy. I asked who it was for. If it's just for pleasure, a little is enough.
But Yinzhi said that the young lady wanted to give it to the second Miss Gu, so it had to be stronger to satisfy the young man. I dare not disobey the young lady’s order. But he also specifically explained that Miss Gu was frail and should take less. ”
"You're talking nonsense!"
Gu Wanru was so furious that she jumped up and pointed at Yaoyao's nose and started scolding her, regardless of the fact that she was pregnant.
"You lewd, dissolute, lowly creature, you brought such filthy things into the Duke's Mansion, and you even dared to slander and implicate this lady! It's obvious that you and Yinzhi colluded to send my poor sister to the bed of my husband.
It was Yinzhi who made a mess when she was getting the soup, and sent the soup that was supposed to be given to Langjun to father by mistake, which is how father saw through your trick! ”
Yinzhi, who was made extremely sober by the ginseng soup, glanced at Gu Wanru, lowered her head with tears in her eyes, and had no more thoughts of living.
Gu Huan felt cold all over.
Mu An still hasn't given up.
Zhou Zhilan was so angry that she wanted to go up and whip Yinzhi herself.
It's so abominable.
"How dare you, a few bitches, bring this upon me for the trouble you caused! I know nothing about this matter, and I have never drunk any soup! Gu Wanru, you bitch, are you trying to kill me!"
Mu An also became anxious and rushed forward to hit Gu Wanru, but Zhou Chunyu grabbed his wrist.
"Sir, the young lady is pregnant. If something happens to her, you will be sad, right?"
Mu An withdrew his hand angrily: "Such an immoral woman is not worthy of giving birth to the eldest grandson of my mansion! Father, I want to divorce my wife!"
"Husband, how dare you divorce me!"
Gu Wanru widened her eyes, unable to believe that Mu An would say such a thing.
Mu Junyan turned his head and saw Gu Huan who was supporting herself on the rockery with one hand and biting her lips tightly to hold back her tears.
My heart sank.
"Deal with him according to family rules." He stood up and strode towards Gu Huan.
Gu Huan looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Mu Junyan held her wrist and whispered, "Don't look."
After saying that, he grabbed her and left.
Gu Huan didn't want to watch anymore, so Mu Junyan pulled her away quickly.
But behind him, there were bursts of shrill cries, and every time the screams reached their climax, they stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of water splashing and Zhou Chunyu asking people to feed him ginseng soup...
This cycle continued, and the screams became weaker and weaker.
Gu Huan's face turned pale, her legs became weaker and weaker, and she could hardly keep up with Mu Junyan's pace.
Suddenly she stumbled, and could not help but let out a cry, and fell forward.
The tall figure turned around, stretched out his upper arms, and picked the person up horizontally.
Throwing herself into his warm and broad embrace, Gu Huan didn't want to struggle anymore. She nestled into his arms and cried silently.
Mu Junyan had a sullen face as he carried her all the way into Yayun Pavilion, put her on the bed, and tucked her into the quilt.
"Don't think about anything, just sleep well."
He tucked the quilt into her and turned away.
Gu Huan felt a lump in her heart.
He seemed very unhappy.
She didn't know what happened between him and Mu An, but whether Mu An could inherit the title or not, he enjoyed the wealth and splendor of the Duke's Mansion, which showed that Mu Junyan truly treated him as his son.
But what about Mu An?
I just humiliated him in public, which really hurt him.
Gu Huan got up and sat for a while hugging the quilt. When she felt her mood had calmed down and she was fine, she got up and put on her shoes.
Donghua and Dongqing waited until Mu Junyan left before they dared to come in. When they saw her get up, they hurried forward to help her.
"I'll go see if the snacks are ready."
"But……"
"I promised to make some snacks for the Duke as a midnight snack."
She can't just use him, it would be good to help him ease his mood.
Donghua and Dongqing had no choice but to accompany her to the kitchen.
Guanshan Tower.
There was no light in the study.
Gu Huan walked to the door carrying the lunch box and was a little disappointed when she saw that it was pitch black inside.
Just as I was about to turn around, I heard a hoarse voice from inside: "Come in."
Gu Huan took a breath and pushed the door open quietly.
It could be vaguely seen that Mu Junyan was sitting in the darkness, but motionless.
"What is it?"
The tone was calm and peaceful, but Gu Huan could hear the heaviness in it.
Gu Huan said softly, "I made two snacks for the Duke as a midnight snack."
In the dark night, there is silence.
But Gu Huan felt the powerful pressure from Mu Junyan, and the feeling of fear and wanting to escape came back.
Suddenly, there was a flash of fire.
Mu Junyan lit up a cloud crane lamp on the desk.
Gu Huan felt relieved a little when she saw that he had no objection. She walked towards the desk with the food box.
Open the food box and take out a plate of small and exquisite butterfly cakes and a plate of salty crystal buns.
Mu Junyan's eyes darkened slightly, and he suddenly reached out and grabbed the person.
Gu Huan cried softly, the food box in her hand fell to the ground with a clang, and she fell on his lap.
