Chapter 216 I Miss You So Much
Gu Yuan was furious: "You two crazy women broke into my Wenchang Marquis's mansion and abused private punishment! Do you still have the law?"
Gu Huan ignored him: "If you know, confess as soon as possible. Otherwise, the beating will only hurt more."
The servants in the Gu Mansion were all terrified. The little unknown woman back then now had the demeanor of the mistress of the house, and her actions were more powerful than those of the two mistresses in the mansion.
After interrogating several people in succession, some of them spoke nonsense, but their confessions did not match what Wang Linyi saw, and the others could not say anything.
Akabane, who had rich experience in interrogation, noticed something was wrong and whispered, "Madam, I'm afraid something is not right."
Gu Huan was also somewhat worried.
The Gu family has always been stingy. Every master is petty-minded and has his own agenda, so they can't raise any loyal servants.
Wang Linyi's eyes were red, and he said firmly: "I can't be wrong, it's the clothes of the servants of Wenchang Marquis's Mansion!"
Seeing the servants beaten to a bloody pulp, Gu Yuan knew that these two crazy women would not let him go easily, but he could not stand it any longer and jumped up in frustration.
"Have you caught him? You said you saw him, so you saw him? You guys have messed up my house, so I don't have the time to care about you, an abandoned woman and your dog parents!"
Wang Linyi stood up and pointed at him and yelled, "Watch your mouth!" Gu Huan said coldly, "You are getting a divorce!"
Gu Yuan choked: "You, you guys..."
He now wished he could hide himself so that no one could find evidence against him and bring the case before the emperor, thereby deposing him as a marquis. How could he possibly kill anyone again?
He thought about it, but he didn't dare.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something: "I know! It's Wang Heng! It's him!"
Gu Huan raised her eyebrows: "Reason?"
"After you left yesterday, one of his servants suddenly fell and tore his robe. Then he asked the butler for a set of clothes that belonged to the servants in my mansion to change into."
Wang Linyi's face was full of disbelief.
Gu Yuan looked around hurriedly: "Really? Butler, butler, where did the butler die?"
"My Lord, the butler... fainted there."
The servant who was kneeling beside with his neck shrunk pointed to a row of people lying on the ground groaning from being beaten. One of them who had fainted was the butler.
Gu Yuan: “…”
He quickly asked, "Who brought a set of clothes to the housekeeper yesterday?"
"Yes, I am here to take Lord Wang's attendants to change his clothes." A servant responded hurriedly.
Gu Huan stared at Gu Yuan coldly, causing cold sweat to appear on his forehead.
"Really? I'm already in such a mess right now, why would I bother myself with getting into trouble and killing someone?"
Gu Huan felt that he was telling the truth this time.
Her scumbag father cares about face, is greedy for small gains, and is a gigolo. He dares to do everything except killing people.
Otherwise, Wang Linyi would have died long ago.
"Okay." Gu Huan nodded: "Write down what you said and put your fingerprints on it. Once we find out that the facts have nothing to do with you, we will not look for you anymore."
Write it down? Press fingerprints?
Gu Yuan’s eyes widened.
Does this mean he should openly oppose the Wang family?
Gu Huan sneered: "Why not?"
"Wang Heng is the only one left in the Wang Clan of Langya. Are you, a marquis, afraid of him? Wang Heng killed someone and put the blame on you, and you still plan to protect him?"
Gu Yuan was so anxious that his head was smoking.
Wang Linyi pointed at him and shouted, "That's him! He hates me to the core!"
"I'll write it! Once I'm done, leave immediately and don't come looking for me again!"
Gu Huan: "That depends on whether you still want to do evil. Do you still have a choice now?"
Gu Yuan felt aggrieved.
He was actually suppressed to this point by his despised ex-wife and his once insignificant concubine's daughter!
Gu Huan held his testimony and said, "Mother, let's go first."
Wang Linyi didn't believe Gu Yuan, but she believed Gu Huan.
After the two of them left Gu's house, Gu Huan immediately ordered Chi Yu: "Go to Kaifeng Prefecture and ask the judge if he has found anything else. I also think Wang Heng is involved."
"yes."
Just as Gu Huan and Wang Linyi returned to the Yongguo Mansion, Chiyu came back.
He was holding a piece of clothing in his hand: "Madam, this is what the judge said he found in the corner not far from the entrance of the alley."
It turned out to be the clothes of a servant in the Gu Mansion.
Wang Linyi hurriedly took it and turned over the corner of the clothes, where the servants' names were embroidered.
“It’s true.”
Gu Huan took a look and said, "It turned out to be Wang Heng."
Wang Linyi was so angry that his eyes turned red again: "I have endured so many years for the Wang family, and they actually want to kill my whole family!"
Gu Huan said calmly, "Because you are useless, and you still step on their faces, how can they not hate you?"
Wang Linyi asked anxiously: "Then shall we go to Wang's house now?"
Gu Huan looked at her innocent and naive mother speechlessly: "You can't hold him back with just a piece of clothing."
"Don't we still have Gu Yuan's testimony?"
"How credible is Gu Yuan's testimony?"
Wang Linyi was dismayed and tears fell: "Your grandfather and your uncle died so unjustly."
Gu Huan looked at her: "I almost died at that time."
Wang Linyi was stunned and hurriedly pulled her back: "Huan'er, I know I have wronged you. I..."
Gu Huan interrupted her: "It's in the past, let's not talk about it anymore. They can't get away with it. Let Kaifeng Prefecture investigate this matter."
Wang Linyi was also helpless. She had no other options and could only rely on Gu Huan.
The suppressed grief and anger in her heart made her understand more deeply what kind of life Gu Huan had lived for the past seventeen years.
After returning to the Duke's Mansion, she stayed by Gu Huan's side the whole day, watching her discuss all matters in the mansion with Zhou Zhilan and Zhou Chunyu.
Follow her to make snacks for the old lady and talk to her together.
Tomorrow is New Year’s Eve.
Red lanterns were hung everywhere in Bianjing, and every household was busy making delicious food and preparing programs for the New Year.
Duke Yong was not allowed to put up any lights or decorations because of his funeral, but the old lady instructed that everything else must be lively except for the red ribbons.
It is said that Mu Junyan’s spirit in heaven would also hope to see his family celebrate the New Year happily.
Wang Linyi followed for a whole day and felt what a harmonious and caring home was.
All the men of the Mu family died heroically in the battle, leaving behind orphans and widows who are still strong and smiling.
The depression that had been weighing on Wang Linyi's heart due to the death of his parents and brother dissipated a lot. He temporarily put aside his sadness and started to get busy in the mansion.
It suddenly started snowing heavily.
Gu Huan was preparing to take a rest when she suddenly saw heavy snow falling outside. She felt inexplicably melancholy and simply opened the door and reached out to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky.
I really miss Mu Junyan.
I don't know where he is now, or what he is doing.
"Are you not afraid of getting cold?"
A warm hand fell on her waist.
Upon hearing this, Gu Huan's whole body froze. She didn't even bother to turn around. She looked around nervously and hurriedly. After confirming that there was no one there, she turned around, reached out and pushed the person into the house, closed the door, and did not forget to blow out the candle.
Mu Junyan was caught off guard and was pushed back by her. Looking at her flustered and agile movements, he couldn't help but laugh softly.
He hooked his long arms and pulled her into his arms: "Madam, are you in such a hurry to turn off the lights?"
Gu Huan's originally nervous mood became irritated by his teasing.
He punched him twice angrily: "Do you know that scaring people can kill people? If you scare your son, you will never regret it!"
Mu Junyan quickly picked her up and walked slowly into the inner room, saying softly, "It's my fault. I scared my beloved wife and children."
Gu Huan's face turned red, and she felt sad in her heart. She simply put her arms around his neck and buried her head in his broad chest.
Listening to his strong heartbeat, everything seemed to settle down.
Mu Junyan originally wanted to tease her, but when he felt her attachment, his heart melted and he couldn't bear to joke anymore.
Sitting on the bed, he hugged her in his arms and used his free hands to lift up her face.
The room was pitch black, and as their eyes met, they both seemed to be able to feel each other's gazes.
Gu Huan had a lot to say, but she didn't know what to say first.
After holding it in for a long time, he asked, "Aren't you afraid of being seen?"
"I came out of the secret passage and no one saw me."
While Gu Huan was in a daze, someone pecked her lips.
A warm air surrounded my ears, and seductive whispers filled my ears.
"I missed you so much."
