...Sure enough, the saying that birds of a feather flock together is not wrong.

The scumbags all traveled in groups. Wei Hansu knew all the three men sitting in the corner on the first floor.

One is Gu Yundan who forced Rou Niang to death, one is Zhao Junsheng who divorced his newlywed wife, and the other is her ex-fiancé, Gu Yunran, who is now the eldest princess's son-in-law.

"...Ranran?" Wei Hansu looked at her worriedly and asked, "How about we go back first?"

"What are you going to do?" Wei Hanzhang smiled and said coldly, "Do you think I'm afraid of them?"

As early as when Rou Niang died, Wei Hanzhang had made up his mind that the next time he saw Gu Yundan, he would find out the reason why Rou Niang jumped off the building.

And her gentle cousin...

Thinking of this, Wei Hanzhang called Mei Gu in.

Pointing at the people downstairs, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go, invite Gu Yundan and Zhao Junsheng up, and tell them I have something to ask."

Mei Gu obviously knew Gu Yunran. After hearing this, she paused for a moment before nodding and saying, "Yes."

The private room on the second floor had a wide view. Mei Gu walked up to Gu Yundan and said something. The three of them raised their heads and looked over here. Wei Hanzhang didn't even try to dodge and sneered.

It was clearly visible that Gu Yunran was slightly startled, and he suddenly drank up the tea in the cup.

…………

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the box, and Wei Hanzhang said "Come in".

Mei Gu came in first and bowed, saying, "Miss, the person has been brought here."

Hearing this, the three people behind her also bowed and said, "Greetings, Miss Wei Jiu."

Wei Hanzhang nodded slightly, and looked at the three people behind Mei Gu. Her gaze happened to meet Gu Yunran's. She looked away without any hesitation and stared at Gu Yundan beside him.

Compared to the last time they met a few months ago, Gu Yundan was much thinner, and he looked like he had suffered a huge blow.

No wonder Gu Yunran couldn't even ask the question she asked him to ask. Yes, in his opinion, Rou Niang was just dead, but his cousin was greatly shocked.

Wei Hanzhang sneered in her heart. If he didn't ask, then she would do it herself.

"Gu Yundan, do you know why I asked you to come up?"

Gu Yundan replied respectfully: "Please explain clearly, Miss Wei."

"Ming Yan?" Wei Hanzhang asked in surprise, "Why, you really don't know? Have you already forgotten about Rou Niang's death?"

"That's right. You already have a beautiful wife in your arms. How can you think of your childhood fiancée who died and was forced to fall from the building by you?"

Her expression turned cold: "You said that since you are already married and have found a new lover, why do you still want to disturb Rou Niang? She went from being a proud girl to being reduced to dust overnight. It is not easy for her to live, but you insist on forcing her to die?"

This was what she hated the most! Cao Xinrou had no intention of dying. Even if her life in the Jiaofangsi was hard, she still survived with strength. As long as she survived, there was always hope that she would see the light of day again.

Wei Hanzhang threw down the teacup in his hand and shouted angrily: "Tell me the truth! What did you do to Rou Niang in the Jiaofang Bureau that day?"

Her sudden anger startled everyone. Wei Hansu on the opposite side shrank his shoulders for fear of being noticed. Only Mei Gu took a leisurely step, took a new teacup and refilled her master's tea.

Gu Yun stood there motionless for a long time without saying a word.

Seeing his brother being forced into this state, Gu Yunran took a step forward and was about to speak to persuade him, but Wei Hanzhang glanced at him and he froze in place, stopping talking.

Wei Hanzhang's eyes were extremely cold, and he said, "I saw that there were quite a few guests in the Music Bureau that day. There must be some people who have seen the whole story. Tell me the truth now. I will not embarrass you because of Rou Niang's true feelings for you. If you dare to lie, I will find out the truth myself one day..."

At this point, she smiled slightly and said, "Although the Crown Princess does not hold power, believe it or not, your future is just a matter of a word from me."

It would be a waste if you have a powerful backer.

How important is the future to a student who has studied hard? Her words obviously hit the nail on the head. Gu Yun raised his eyes and looked over. He moved his lips with difficulty and said, "I came to the capital at the beginning of the year. I attended many poetry gatherings and made friends with many scholars and students from all over the country. That day, I was invited by several good friends to go to the Beijing Jiaofang Division to see the world..."

He paused, and said with difficulty: "They said that there are many noble ladies from wealthy families whose fathers and brothers have committed crimes in the Jiaofang Bureau, who are selling their smiles on the rooftops... Recently, several families of officials from Jiangnan who have been convicted have come here, and they are more charming than the noble ladies in Beijing. They said they would take me to have a taste..."

There was a crisp sound of 'pop'.

Aunt Mei walked up to Gu Yundan at some point and slapped him in the face. She was quite polite and said calmly, "My daughter is here in front of me. Please speak to me kindly, Master Gu. Don't say dirty words that will offend the ears of the noble man."

"Yes," Mei Gu was a martial artist, and the force of this palm was not light. Gu Yundan was slapped by a woman in front of his brothers and friends. The corners of his lips twitched slightly in pain, but he didn't even dare to cover his face. He continued with a red face: "... Before I entered the Jiaofang Bureau, I didn't know that Rou Niang was inside."

Recalling that day, his eyes were filled with tears, and he suddenly closed his eyes, "It was not my intention to force Rou Niang to death, but... it was just that she was too hot-tempered."

"Stop talking nonsense," Wei Hanzhang was impatient to see him shed crocodile tears, and said coldly: "Just tell me, what happened that day?"

Gu Yunran and Zhao Junsheng, who came in with them, obviously had no idea what happened that day and were already listening intently.

Gu Yundan calmed down and said with difficulty: "Among the four friends who took me to the Jiaofang Division that day, three of them were patrons of Rou Niang's business. We entered the private room and they called in several prostitutes, one of whom was Rou Niang. When she saw me among the guests..."

Wei Hanzhang stood up suddenly, his eyes widened involuntarily. He never dreamed that Cao Xinrou would encounter such a situation that day.

She even thought that Gu Yun knew that his ex-fiancée had become a courtesan and came to humiliate her on purpose, but she never thought... it would be like this.

"When she saw it was me, she was slightly stunned at first, but she quickly recovered and didn't recognize me..." Gu Yun clenched his fists, as if in pain, and said regretfully: "I was also a coward at the time. I felt that it would be a great shame if my friends knew that such a prostitute was once my fiancée..."

Wei Hanzhang moved his lips, but couldn't even open his mouth to urge him to continue.

What did her Rou Niang go through?

"After a few drinks, those friends became more and more unruly and started to take off the prostitutes' clothes..." At this point, he remembered the slap from Mei Gu and carefully restrained his subsequent words, saying, "Rouniang couldn't bear to be humiliated in front of me, so she chose to jump out of the window."
