He San Niang stood on the other side of Gu Hui, indicating that she was on the same side as her sisters.
General Peng frowned and looked at Gu Hui, about to speak to her, when Gu Hui spoke up: "Fourth Uncle, what if he wasn't your son?"
General Peng Si: "What do you mean by that?!"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Peng Mu.
Peng Mu shook her head, tears streaming down her face.
Gu Hui said, "What I mean is, Peng Mu is very likely not your son. So, I hope you won't use your love for your son on him. It's fine if you take him to your room; anyway, I've given him poison, so even if you release him, he won't dare to escape!"
General Peng glared at Gu Hui: "Do you know what you're saying? Is this the kind of upbringing your Gu family has?"
Peng Mu glanced at Gu Hui. Judging from the Gu family's upbringing, he knew who these three were. Good heavens, the Gu sisters' disguise skills were just as good as his men's!
Princess Jinghe: "Anyway, the Gu family's manners are far superior to your Peng family's. Most of your Peng family members are quite good, but there are always a few bad apples. The Gu family, on the other hand, doesn't have any. Their manners are simply better than your Peng family's!"
General Peng glanced at Princess Jinghe, then pulled Peng Mu away, saying, "I'm taking him with me. But I'm not taking my son; I'm taking a captured criminal. I'll take full responsibility for anything that happens!"
Princess Jinghe: "I'm afraid you can't handle it!"
General Peng Si: "..."
Gu Hui didn't say anything more.
"Sister Hui, are we just going to let him take the person away like this? What if he releases him?" He San Niang asked.
“That’s right. Peng Mu’s effeminate manner and crying style are quite similar to Yin Yueli’s. General Peng Si seems to dote on him! What if he leaks the news after we untie him?” Princess Jinghe added.
“I gave him two poison pills, the kind that require an antidote,” Gu Hui said, frowning. He San Niang and Princess Jinghe breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could finish, their hearts were in their throats again. Gu Hui continued, “But I have a feeling we’re in danger. I wonder if it’s related to Peng Mu.”
"Sister Hui, your intuition is always right, it never fails!" He San Niang exclaimed.
“Then let’s go and call General Peng Si to leave! He has the Peng family’s token, and I have the princess’s token. I don’t believe the city guards of Fuzhou won’t recognize one of them!” Princess Jinghe said.
"Okay, let's go!" Gu Hui thought about it and felt that this was the safest option.
The three of them went to General Peng Si's room.
At this moment, General Peng removed the cloth from Peng Mu and was feeding him water.
General Peng Si opened the door and saw the three people. His brows furrowed tightly: "Are you here to supervise me?"
Gu Hui said, "Fourth Uncle, let's leave! Peng Mu's men are still in the city, he..."
"Surround them!"
Gu Hui was interrupted by the noise outside before she could finish speaking.
The government troops of Fuzhou surrounded the inn.
The group was greatly surprised.
Gu Hui rushed inside without thinking, grabbed Peng Mu, and jumped out of the window.
She sensed something was wrong, and now that the soldiers had appeared, she knew what was amiss. It was highly likely that Peng Mu had already taken control of Fuzhou Prefecture.
Peng Mu is the son of King Qu. King Qu's faction in the Great Zhou was eradicated, but a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Who knows if he has people who are not in the open?
Peng Mu has been the prefect of Fuzhou for ten years. Does he really dare to stay in Fuzhou for so long in such a blatant manner just because of a woman?
