Gu Xinglang couldn't understand why the matter had turned out like this. He just knew that there was a young lady in the Ruan family, a girl that his grandmother liked very much, that's all. Gu Sanshao couldn't understand what this cousin from the Ruan family wanted to do to him, nor could he understand why his grandmother was so mean to Yu Xiaoxiao.
Yu Xiaoxiao pulled Gu Xinglang behind her and said to Xianzong, "Why are you angry at Xiao Gu? Wen and I..."
"I know who this is," Emperor Xianzong did not allow Yu Xiaoxiao to reveal the name of Master Fenglin.
Yu Xiao: "Oh, we told the little cousin that her parents were not far away, and Xiao Gu asked her to go home and be filial to her parents. Then the little cousin started crying, and grandma started crying too, saying that Xiao Gu didn't care about the family after marrying me. Dad, tell me, what's going on? Xiao Gu asked her to go home and be filial to her parents. Was he wrong?"
The people in the Gu Mansion..., Miss Ruan is really not crying about this!
Xianzong used his gaze as a knife to cut Gu Xinglang, and turned around to ask, "Was that woman executed?"
Two imperial guards had already put their bows around Ruan Tian's neck. When they heard Emperor Xianzong's question, they hurriedly tightened the bowstrings, trying to strangle Ruan Tian to death.
Ruan Tian's eyes rolled back and she was unable to struggle against the hands of the two imperial guards.
This time, the old lady did not need the support of a maid. She stood up from the ground by herself, ran out of the mansion, knelt down in front of Emperor Xianzong, and kowtowed, with blood coming out of her forehead.
Xianzong had seen this kind of scene many times and felt nothing at all.
"Grandma!" Seeing his grandmother like this, Gu Xinglang had no choice but to kneel on the ground.
Yu Xiaoxiao was shocked to see that the old lady had a broken forehead.
Xianzong said, "Linglong, come with me, let's talk business." Mo Wen's business was here, how could he have the time to care about the affairs of Gu's little cousin? After so many years of pretending to be a playboy, His Majesty Xianzong said that the girl was at most above average in appearance. If Gu Xinglang betrayed Linglong for such a little cousin, then his son-in-law must be blind.
The old lady kowtowed to Emperor Xianzong and said, "Your Majesty, Tian'er frightened the emperor and deserved to die. But I beg Your Majesty to spare her life for the sake of her young age and inexperience. I am willing to sacrifice myself in her place."
Xianzong said: "I will not forgive her! Do you want to sacrifice yourself? First ask Gu Chen if he is willing, then you can make this wish to me."
The old lady cried so hard that she nearly passed out. Now she regretted that she couldn't hold back her anger and challenged Yu Xiaoxiao. The princess was unreasonable, so could the emperor who raised the princess be a reasonable person?
Xianzong said, "Cousin, a member of the Ruan family can make you, Gu Ruanshi, abandon your husband and family? What do you think of the Gu family?"
A married woman should obey her husband. Xianzong now said that the old lady had abandoned her husband's family and cared for her own family. This was the most serious thing a woman could say. It could make the old lady unable to raise her head in the Gu family from now on. The old lady's face lost all color, her body trembled, and she was about to collapse.
At this time, Gu Xinglang kowtowed to Emperor Xianzong and said, "Your Majesty, this is my fault. Please forgive my grandmother. I..."
"What do you want to do?" Xianzong interrupted Gu Xinglang and said, "You can't protect Linglong, and you expect me not to protect Linglong? I married Linglong to you just to make this person in your family..."
"Okay, okay, that's enough," Yu Xiaoxiao covered Xianzong's mouth and said, "Why do you get angry when you see people? Can you be less angry?"
Xianzong (#‵′)凸, who is he doing this for? !
"No more killing," Yu Xiaoxiao shouted at the two imperial guards on the street, "Do you really think that killing people means killing people when my father says so?"
Everyone..., if the emperor says to kill, doesn't that mean he will kill?
The two imperial guards looked at Emperor Xianzong. Should they kill him or not?
Xianzong said to Yuxiao: "My words are as good as gold."
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Xianzong. When she heard what he said, she felt it was a joke. The kind where she would lose money if she didn't laugh.
Xianzong asked Gu Xinglang: "What do you say?"
"Xinglang!" The old lady cried out to Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, please spare her life."
Xianzong looked at the old lady who was about to cry to death, knowing that if he forced her to death today, it would be difficult for his daughter and Gu Xinglang to be husband and wife again. Turning his head to look at his daughter with a paralyzed face, Xianzong said, "You still don't understand what happened, right?"
Yu Xiao: "I understand. I'm not a fool."
"You understand nothing!" Xianzong cursed. Does this guy look like he understands?
Yu Xiaoxiao wiped her spit-spattered face and said to Xianzong seriously, "I will be on guard against this cousin, don't worry, Dad."
Xianzong flicked his sleeves and walked towards Gu's mansion.
Yu Xiao: "Then will you let him go or not?"
"Let go," Xianzong uttered a word through gritted teeth.
The two imperial guards breathed a sigh of relief. It was worth their delay until now. No matter what the emperor thought, if they really killed this cousin, what would they do if the Gu family came back to settle the score with them?
"You try to comfort grandma," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Gu Xinglang, "I can't handle it."
Gu Xinglang was pulled up from the ground by Yu Xiaoxiao and said, "Princess, I..."
"I'm going to take care of some important stuff first. Come find me after you've coaxed grandma," Yu Xiaoxiao covered Gu Xinglang's mouth, then turned around and chased Xianzong.
Young Master Fenglin glanced at the old lady who was still kneeling on the ground, cursed her in his heart as a foolish woman, and walked towards the door of Gu's mansion.
Gu Xinglang helped the old lady up from the ground.
The old lady stood up and tried to push Gu Xinglang away, but unfortunately she failed.
Gu Xinglang said: "Grandma, I will take you back to your room."
"Where is Tian'er?" asked the old lady.
When the old lady knelt down, Madam Sun, Madam Lin, and the servants of the Gu Mansion followed suit. At this moment, Madam Lin stood up from the ground, walked forward, and said with a half-smile on her face, "Don't worry, grandma, my cousin has someone to take care of her. The princess saved her life, and my cousin will have to kneel down to thank the princess in a while."
The old lady immediately fell backwards again.
Gu Xinglang half-carried the old lady into the mansion and sent her straight back to her room.
A maid had already made up the old lady's bed. When they saw Gu Xinglang helping the old lady into the room with a sullen face, the maids and servants in the room did not dare to make a sound and retreated together.
The old lady lay on the bed, tears streaming down her face.
Gu Xinglang knelt in front of the bed and asked, "Grandma, what did the princess do to make you treat her like this?"
The old lady asked angrily, "Who is the man next to her?"
Gu Xinglang's expression turned even colder, and he whispered, "Grandma, who is the princess in your heart?"
"She," the old lady patted the bed.
"If it weren't for the princess, our whole family would have turned into bones by now," Gu Xinglang was not prepared to listen to the old lady at all, and said to her coldly: "Grandma, the princess will be better off if she leaves me. I begged her to stay by my side. Princess, the princess is my life."
