Chapter 70 The same fate is considered an apology
Three days passed in a flash.
The day when the Gu family was raided.
The streets were filled with people as the Gu family's prison van drove from the prison to the Meridian Gate.
Countless people cursed and threw rotten vegetable leaves and eggs at them.
"The Gu family is truly heartless, producing a traitor like Gu Chuan!"
"Yes, and he even caused our soldiers in the North to be poisoned. He deserves to be cut into pieces!"
"I have a nephew who followed the Regent to the battlefield. This Gu Chuan first sought glory and advanced recklessly in the northern border, and then colluded with the Saint of the southern border. My nephew was also poisoned at the time. Did you know? They actually put poison in the well water. If it weren't for the Regent's good leadership and the three armies' shifts for meals, I'm afraid the whole army would have been wiped out."
"Oh my God! Gu Chuan is treating the lives of 200,000 people as worthless!"
"The Gu family deserves death."
"You have disregarded the Emperor's regard and the respect of our people."
Inside the prison van, Mrs. Gu had disheveled hair and a blank look in her eyes, having long since lost her former pride.
A rotten egg hit Gu Xiu on the head, and he looked in a mess. He looked up at the sky, laughing and shouting wildly.
“Hahaha, hahaha, the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog hums…”
"My Gu family has been loyal to the country for many years, but to be condemned to death, the entire family is executed. Heaven and earth are cruel and blind."
Zhuang Linan burst into tears, looking at her two children with despair in her eyes. Why did this happen? How could this happen?
Shouldn't I return to the imperial city and marry Chuan'er, so that the two children can have the love of their father?
Xiao Fuguang, who was mixed in the crowd and following the prison van not too close, looked at the fate of the Gu family with satisfaction in his eyes.
The current Gu family is the Xiao family of the previous life, bearing the infamy and being infamous for eternity, with the entire family dying unjustly.
Gu Chuan, you see, your Gu family is now following the same path that my Xiao family took in our previous life.
Only when the Gu family pays for their blood debt with blood can I get rid of the hatred in my heart.
The prison van arrived all the way at the Meridian Gate. Zhuang Linan and the others were covered in dirt, and even the van was covered with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.
The Gu family was escorted off the prison van by the police with disgust.
Under the Meridian Gate, the sunlight seems unable to penetrate this gloomy and desperate scene.
Zhuang Linan staggered as she looked at the two children being escorted by the officers. Her tears had dried up and her eyes were filled with helplessness.
The two children cried loudly.
"Mother, mother, save me, I'm scared..."
But he was silenced by the officials.
Xiao Fuguang looked at the children who were held under the knife without any sympathy in his eyes. In his previous life, he treated these two children with all his heart and raised them as if they were his own children, but in the end, they turned out to be two ungrateful wolves.
The memory came back to me, I was just urging them to study.
The response was.
"You are not our mother, what qualifications do you have to educate us?"
"It was because mother and father felt sorry for you that they allowed you to have a place in the Gu family. You've taken care of us for a few years, do you really take yourself seriously?"
"I'm telling you, if you want my sister and I to take care of you in the future, you shouldn't get pregnant. Don't think I don't know that if you have your own child, you won't care about me and my sister anymore."
After saying that, Gu Zhiyan pushed himself.
I bumped into the table and almost had a miscarriage. The doctor said I could only stay in bed and rest, so I had to hand over the housekeeper's power and focus on taking care of the baby.
As a result, he was blocked from receiving news and missed the chance to save the Xiao family. When he desperately rushed to the Xiao family, he saw the tragic scene of the Xiao family being executed by Gu Chuan and Zhuang Linan.
"It's noon, execution."
Xiao Fuguang came back to his senses.
Watching the Gu family members being beheaded in public.
All of this.
it's over.
Look up at the sun in the sky.
Father, brother, I will definitely take good care of the Xiao family in this life.
Liu Yue spoke from the side.
"They truly deserve it. The Gu family was so ungrateful for treating the young lady like that back then, and now they're getting their comeuppance."
Xingyue also spoke.
"That's right, they will never have the chance to harm the young lady again."
"A few days ago, that Zhuang Linan came to disgust the young lady."
Xiao Fuguang listened, turned around and spoke slowly as he walked.
"Let's go home."
"Tell the kitchen to add more food tonight, for everyone in the mansion."
But I don't know why, I always feel like someone is watching me from behind.
Xiao Fuguang turned around and saw that the crowd was still as usual.
It's strange. I always feel like something is wrong, but I can't put my finger on it.
In the crowd, Su Yan, wearing a felt hat, slowly raised his head, his eyes full of hatred. If looks could kill, Xiao Fuguang would have died thousands of times.
Yikun Palace.
Concubine Yao looked at Madam Xiao and spoke with a smile on her face.
"Madam Xiao, when I met you at the banquet a few days ago, I felt that you were particularly kind, so today I specially summoned you to the palace for tea. Do you mind, Madam Xiao?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Xiao said softly with a gentle smile on her face.
"It is an honor for me to be invited by the Imperial Concubine. How could I mind?"
Concubine Yao nodded slightly and signaled the palace maid to serve tea. As the aroma of tea wafted in the air, she changed the subject.
"Miss Xiao Fuguang is not only exceptionally talented, but has also made remarkable achievements on the battlefield and was named the Protector of the Nation Princess. She is truly a woman who is as capable as any man."
After hearing this, Madam Xiao felt both proud and a little worried, and she said modestly.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. Fu Guang was only doing his part. It is all thanks to the wise leadership of the Emperor and the Regent."
Concubine Yao smiled slightly, but her eyes revealed some deep meaning.
"Ever since the banquet, Prince Rong has been praising Miss Xiao in front of me, saying he has never seen such a special woman."
Madam Xiao was startled, but she didn't show it on her face. She just said.
"His Royal Highness Prince Rong is the son of a dragon and the grandson of a phoenix. It is truly a blessing for Fu Guang to have His Royal Highness's favor."
Concubine Yao seemed very satisfied with Madam Xiao's answer and continued.
"I feel that if Prince Rong and Miss Xiao could tie the knot, it would be a wonderful story. What does Madam Xiao think?"
This is the emperor's most beloved concubine, Madam Xiao carefully considered her words.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. However, you were also at the banquet that day. Fu Guangxian has his master's orders and is concerned about his family and country. I'm afraid it will be difficult to discuss marriage right away, and I cannot harm His Royal Highness Prince Rong."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Yao smiled and spoke.
"I only have this one son. As a mother, I always want my child to be happy. The Imperial Master said that Miss Xiao cannot get married within a year, and Prince Rong can wait for Miss Xiao for a year. Why don't we arrange this marriage so that we can visit each other more often in the future?"
It seems that the imperial concubine is trying to force her to do something. Madam Xiao stood up and knelt respectfully.
"Your Highness, you just said that mothers always want their children to be happy. I am also a mother, and I also hope that Fu Guang will have a husband who loves her very much and a lovely child."
"But right now, she only wants to learn astrology from the Imperial Master, so that she can help relieve the Emperor's worries in the future. She also wants her children to feel good about their lives, that's what's truly good."
"Therefore, I will not force her to find a marriage. I only hope that she can learn the art of astrology and live a healthy life. I hope that Your Majesty will grant me your blessing."
Concubine Yao did not expect Madam Xiao to refuse so firmly. The smile on her face froze slightly, but then returned to normal. She stroked the edge of the teacup and spoke slowly.
"Mrs. Xiao is right. It was me who was anxious. I had a very pleasant chat with Mrs. Xiao today. Mrs. Xiao, please stay and have dinner with me!"
