Gu Hui took the maps of the backyards of various households and their addresses that Cheng Huaiyu had given her, changed into a Song family maid's outfit, had Cheng Huaiyu style her hair in the Song family maid's style, and finally hung a Song family maid's name tag on her before going out.
In Fuzhou, the maids in each household all have uniforms. For wealthy families like the Song family, the maids are dressed quite well.
Gu Hui walked calmly down the street, thinking about what Cheng Huaiyu had said.
Take the seal, write a pass, steal the key, and rescue Princess Jinghe and the others. Should we kill those corrupt officials?
If you can kill them, then kill them; if you can't, then let them go for now. Once she leaves the city and sends the message back, all of these people will die.
In the small Buddhist shrine of the Long family, Peng Mu had already woken up. He felt cold and hungry, and he cursed Gu Hui to death in his heart. His clothes were still wet.
His hands were tied and his mouth was gagged, but he could still move his feet, though he had no strength at all.
He didn't know where Gu Hui had locked him up. It was quiet all around, but he could feel that he was in a box.
He tried to lift his foot, attempting to use his toes to pry open the smelly sock stuffing in his mouth.
Gu Hui took off his socks to gag him last night, so he's barefoot right now.
Unfortunately, I couldn't muster any strength at all.
Last night, General Peng Si had just given him water and was about to feed him when Gu Hui and the others arrived, so he hasn't eaten anything yet.
He strained to push the box open, but unfortunately, because he was hungry, he felt dizzy when he tried.
When Gu Hui tied him up, she found all the sharp weapons on his body and even took the hairpin off his hair.
Peng Mu admired Gu Hui for her meticulousness.
Even now, there's still no sound from outside. He's starting to suspect that Gu Hui has hidden him in the graveyard; otherwise, there would be no sound at all.
Just as Peng Mu felt he was about to faint from hunger again, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open.
He hurriedly banged his head against the top of the box, and soon the box opened. Gu Hui looked at him calmly.
Peng Mu immediately lost heart.
If this continues, Gu Hui will kill him.
Gu Hui looked at Peng Mu, frowned, and asked, "Didn't the poison take effect?"
Peng Mu didn't look at her.
Gu Hui continued, "Even sedatives can make you pass out, but this poison has no effect on you? You actually have this ability?"
Gu Hui once heard Grandma Xiao tell Gu Xin that there are people in this world who are immune to all poisons, whose blood is a kind of deadly poison, and who are specially trained to be poisonous.
But how could someone who is immune to all poisons be directly drugged and rendered unconscious by medicine?
Peng Mu was too weak to speak.
Gu Hui punched him.
The smelly sock stuffed in Peng Mu's mouth was soon stained with blood.
Actually, this little bit of torment is nothing to him. The medicine his mother gave him from childhood to adulthood was the real torment!
But he was unwilling to give up. He was trapped by Gu Hui, a woman, and didn't even have a chance to send a signal.
With a wave of her hand, Gu Hui slammed the lid of the box shut, knocking Peng Mu unconscious.
Gu Hui sat down on the stool, contemplating her actions for the evening.
Should she keep Peng Mu in the Long family's small Buddhist hall, or take him to the Song family and put him with Cheng Huaiyu?
She was worried that a maid might barge into the Long family's small Buddhist hall, and she was also worried that if Peng Mu's men went to find Cheng Huaiyu, they would discover Peng Mu.
