Chapter 66 Am I so insignificant in your eyes?
At this moment, Gu Nian'an was already in tears: "Even though my sister went crazy, she didn't forget to look for me...but I couldn't do a good thing for her. So..."
Tears were still flowing, but her tone had become resolute: "...All I can do for her is to avenge her! Guo, Gu Huai, don't even think about escaping!"
His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Gu Huai fiercely. If he hadn't been tied up with ropes, he would have wanted to beat that scumbag to death.
Gu Huai, however, was immersed in great shock: "Deputy Envoy Lin, what was that image you just created? That can't be real, right? My favorite youngest son, he...how could he..."
"It's true." Lin Qingyue said coldly, "Everything you just saw was a replay of Gu Nianxue's past memories. Many of these things were also your own personal experiences. Didn't you just see them?"
"Who knows if you will mix the real and the fake and deliberately deceive me?" Originally, Gu Huai was quite polite to Lin Qingyue, but the issue of offspring concerns a man's face, and he would not allow anyone to slander him.
Lin Qingyue chuckled softly, "Don't you think your son's facial features resemble Butler Gu? If you still don't believe it, you can check it out yourself. Although Guo and Butler Gu are dead, they've been together for so many years. The maids around them must know about it. It won't be difficult for you to find out."
"Besides, I'm from the Xuanjing Division. I don't know Gu Nianxue and Gu Nian'an before, nor do I have any friendship with them. What good would it do me to help two complete strangers deceive you, Lord Marquis?"
Gu Huai's face turned pale as he murmured, "Yes, although the Xuanjing Division is a motley crew, it has no connection with any faction of the imperial court. So... is that true? That bitch Guo! It's a pity that I was even a little sad because of her death! That bitch really didn't deserve to die!"
When he married his first wife, Gu Huai was so humble in order to curry favor with the aristocratic family that he pretended to love her deeply even though he clearly did not love her.
The existence of his two children constantly reminded him of his humble status. It was also a mark of shame that he relied on women to rise to power!
Therefore, when he really has the ability and status, he is eager to erase everything in the past.
A wife can be changed, a child can be born again. Those are nothing.
A man without cruelty is not a real man. In his heart, nothing is more important than money and power.
He had married Guo at the height of his fame, and she came from a respectable background. Most importantly, she was young and beautiful, and she was always attached to him, serving him meticulously. She was also very sensible, never interfering with his taking concubines. She was his ideal wife.
He liked Guo and also liked her youngest son, whom he trained as his future heir.
But now she realizes that she has been betrayed and her son is not her biological son!
Although he had many concubines and many children, they were all born out of wedlock and their mothers were of low status. The nobles valued bloodlines the most and would not acknowledge them at all.
So at this moment, when he turned to look at Gu Nian'an, the eldest son who had the best family background but the hardest life, he rarely showed a fatherly look.
"Nian'an, Dad didn't know that Guo was such a vicious woman. You've suffered so much over the years. Please give Dad a chance and let Dad make it up to you!"
"Compensation?" Gu Nian'an sneered sarcastically, "Can you compensate for my sister's life?"
"Nianxue was also killed by Guo! Dad was not in the capital at that time, otherwise... otherwise Dad would definitely not let your sister suffer like that!"
"Hasn't your sister suffered enough? She's been living such a miserable life these past few years, all because of you!"
"No, no!" Gu Huai was still trying to explain.
"Although I married your sister to Minister Fang, daughters of large families all need to marry each other, so there's nothing wrong with that! Later, when Minister Fang was convicted and exiled, Dad took her back to the Gu family. If Dad were truly that heartless and ungrateful, your sister would be exiled far away by now!"
Gu Nian'an said, "You took my sister back to the Gu family only to sever your connection with the treacherous minister! After my sister returned to the Gu family, you ignored her and even withheld money for her medicine. Did you ever intervene? Guo certainly deserves death, but you are the culprit who caused our tragedy!"
"Do you really hate daddy so much?" The loving look in Gu Huai's eyes gradually faded, and he rationally withdrew from the father-son relationship.
"Yes!" Gu Nian'an answered without hesitation.
"Since this is the case, I will just pretend you are no longer my son. You broke into the mansion last night and murdered three people, and today you attempted to assassinate me. To protect myself, I have no choice but to execute you!"
When he said the last two words, he didn't hesitate at all.
His son, who hated him to the core, was too dangerous. Rather than waiting for revenge, it was better to strike first.
Gu Nianxue's ghost sensed that his brother was in danger and instantly became agitated. He wanted to rush over to attack, but was trapped by Lin Qingyue's Netherworld Umbrella and could not move a step. He could only roar and scream angrily.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you still have me?"
After Lin Qingyue calmly said to Gu Huai, "Lord Gu, are you planning a private execution? Why, am I so insignificant in your eyes?"
Gu Huai said, "Deputy Envoy Lin, you've worked hard today. Baofeng Bank is owned by this marquis. Tomorrow, you can withdraw any amount you want. Any amount is fine!"
"What a big tone! He's worthy of being the richest man in Da Qi!" Lin Qingyue couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Gu Huai's eyes flashed with pride: "Everyone loves money, let alone a well-known government office like the Xuanjing Division. The scum that slips through my fingers is more than these people could ever earn in their entire lives. I'm not afraid that you won't be tempted!"
"It's a pity that your few ounces of silver are not worthy of my attention! I came here to resolve the obsession of wronged souls, so I naturally cannot allow another wronged soul to exist in this world."
"If you can resolve it, resolve it. If you can't, break it up! Why are you saying so much? Have you never seen money and don't know the benefits of money? The money I want to give you is not just a few taels of silver! With money, you can enjoy the best food every day, and it can even help you rise to the top. Deputy Envoy, is just second in command? Don't you want to move up a level and become the chief officer of the Xuanjing Division?"
Lin Qingyue scoffed, walked over to Gu Nian'an, and scooped him up, saying, "Your sister is worried about you, so she asked me to get you down the mountain first. I'll leave the rope untied for now, to prevent you from messing around again."
"Deputy Envoy Lin!" Gu Huai shouted coldly from behind, "Do you really want to meddle in other people's business?"
"Lord Gu, you should be thankful that I'm not nosy now, otherwise you would have died long ago."
After saying that, she held the umbrella in one hand and carried Gu Nian'an in the other, and walked down the mountain.
Gu Huai watched them gradually walk away and finally hardened his heart.
Originally, he didn't want to take action against Lin Qingyue. After all, she was an official and it would be troublesome to deal with the aftermath.
But... this woman doesn't know what's good for her, so she has to be eliminated!
Gu Huai had been able to build such a large business over the years and hold such a high position of power, so his methods were naturally cruel. In order to obtain a business, he would force the other party's entire family to death.
What does it matter if we kill a mere deputy envoy now?
