Chapter 389 Come~Next~
"If the Gu family's daughter is found to be innocent, then this young princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been proven to have framed someone. Then the compensation issue...maybe there will be a chance for a breakthrough."
When the emperor heard that there might be a chance for a turnaround in the compensation, he waved his hand and said, "Come here, do as Concubine Rou says."
The little girl sneered at Gu Lingxiu who was being led away crying, "You're still trying to seduce my dad, but my dad's not blind. He'd rather have a fool like my mom than a fool like that."
"Okay, come on, next one~"
"You! You embezzled taxes. Your courtyard is filled with gold and silver treasures. If you stay as Minister of Revenue for a few more years, your family will be richer than the national treasury~"
"Of course, it's also because you're too poor in Beining. If you were in our Great Zhou, what you have wouldn't be enough."
"You! You're buying and selling official positions, getting all those worthless aunts and uncles in your family to join the government. Do you want Beining to have your family name?!"
"And you, why are you hiding? Even if you hide under the low table, I'm still talking about you!"
"You are not a good thing, and your wife is even less so. Officials in Beining actually opened a brothel and a prostitute house. The son of the Prime Minister sent all the girls he got tired of playing with to you. They are all children from good families. You really deserve to die."
"But it doesn't matter. This county magistrate has seen a dark aura shrouding your face and dark clouds overhead. Within three days, you and your wife will both go to hell."
"It's also thanks to you guys that you did so many bad things that you cut off your own children's fate, otherwise you really would have been able to leave an heir to your family."
"you……"
"you……"
"you……"
"Forget it, that's all for now. Aunt Bi'er, please pour Bubu a cup of tea. Bubu's mouth is dry after talking for so long."
"Hey, with the current situation in Beining, you're bound to be destroyed. It's just a matter of time."
Soon, the little girl told almost everything about the family affairs of most of the officials in the hall. As a result, not only did the officials present have ugly expressions, but even the old emperor of Beining had a grim face.
The wizard sitting in the dark clenched his fists and looked through the curtain at the eloquent little girl, feeling shocked.
These things that even he couldn't see or predict were actually revealed by a three-year-old girl, and it seemed that everything she said was correct. If his daughter was like this, then the Regent and his princess must be...
No, he had to tell his master about this matter immediately. Ever since his master went out to fight and became possessed, he has been in seclusion and has not come out since then. No one knows how he is doing.
But his intuition over the years told him that he couldn't afford to offend this family.
While the little girl was drinking water, Gu Lingxiu came back from her physical examination.
"Reporting to the Emperor and Empress, this young lady of the Gu family...is indeed no longer innocent."
Guo Shuangwen didn't know what to feel when he heard the nanny's report. Was it sympathy? No, it was more of a gloating.
Now that’s good, I’m not the only one who was found to be not a virgin. I’m finally not the only one.
Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Zhang's faces turned pale when they heard what the physical examination nanny said. They originally wanted Gu Lingxiu to follow Xiao Yulan without anyone knowing, but something went wrong before the plan even started.
Then... they had to change their plan. They couldn't let the daughter they had worked so hard to raise be wasted like this.
At the same time, Mrs. Gu hated the Zhang family so much. They had spent so much money to raise their daughter in luxury, but she was ruined by such a person.
Mrs. Zhang looked at her sister embarrassedly. She really didn't know about this matter... If her bastard son was not her biological son, she would have wanted to beat him to death with her own hands.
"Um... I really don't know about this matter. If this doesn't work out, I will let Zize marry Lingxiu when I go back. I will never let Lingxiu lose face in public."
Madam Gu gritted her teeth and said nothing. Marry her daughter? Don't think she doesn't know. Zhang Zize is already a useless man with a broken leg. Why would he marry her daughter? To help her take care of her son and live as a widow?
Her daughter's reputation in Beining was already ruined, and if she married Zhang Zize again, her life would be ruined...
No, she must let her daughter marry the regent, no matter what means and at any cost.
She taught her daughter to read and write since she was young, and she even had some knowledge of military tactics. She was also familiar with the private affairs of the royal family and the matters between husband and wife.
She was certain that once the Regent entered her daughter's bed he would never be willing to leave.
Bu Ruo snorted and retorted to Xiao Yulan: "The wife of the Gu family is even thinking of giving Gu Lingxiu to you. You are really lucky."
Xiao Yulan gently scratched his wife's palm under the table: "Except for Ruo'er, even if she is as beautiful as a fairy, she cannot catch my eye. Ruo'er, you forgot, I swore an oath."
Swear... In a trance, Bu Ruo remembered his previous life.
On her wedding day, she had endured the heavenly tribulation. When Xiao Yulan arrived, she was already on the verge of dissipating, with only her spirit retaining a trace of clarity.
She clearly felt Xiao Yulan rushing over and hugging her increasingly transparent body, and tears fell drop by drop on her cheeks, burning her.
She felt waves of warmth, which was Xiao Yulan consuming his own essence to protect her soul.
She clearly heard him swear to the heavens with his soul that no matter whether she disappeared or not, he would never give up on her, no matter where she was or how many times she reincarnated, he would find her.
He threatened the Heavenly Dao that if she could no longer live, he would one day slaughter everyone in the world, even if it meant becoming a demon...
At the moment she disappeared, she saw... Xiao Yulan sacrificed all of his own essence and disappeared with her.
"Ruo'er? Ruo'er, did you hear what I said? Believe me, I really..."
Bu Ruo took a deep breath, forced back the tears that were about to fall, and held his hand tightly: "Silly boy, how could I not believe you? Besides Master and Grandmaster, you are the person I trust the most. Even if one day you put a knife to my neck, I don't believe you will hurt me at all."
Xiao Yulan raised his hand and tucked the strands of hair from his wife's temples behind her ears. "Silly girl, how could I bear to put a knife to Ruo'er's neck? Even if I stabbed myself a thousand times, I would not bear to hurt Ruo'er in the slightest."
The two little ones have learned from the woman everything about their parents. They also know that their mother was able to reincarnate as a human being because the beautiful mother-in-law used most of her divine power, all of their father's essence, and her own ancient demon pill in exchange.
They will work hard to make those selfish gods in heaven pay the price and receive retribution. They will protect their parents and will not let them be separated because of some bullshit destiny.
