Chapter 68 Brothers fight, kill me
Madam Gu hadn't expected things to turn out this way. She looked at Lin Wanyin and asked, "Auntie Lin, has the prince wronged you?"
Lin Wanyin lowered her head and said, "It was all Wanyin's fault. Wanyin has a bad character. As long as she doesn't send me out of the house, I will let the old lady punish me."
She couldn't leave the Marquis' Mansion. If she left, all her efforts would be in vain.
She hasn't gotten her mother's belongings back from her stepmother yet.
The Marquis' Mansion is her only support. Only if she becomes the wife of the Crown Prince can she have a say in the Lin Mansion.
So no matter what, she couldn't leave.
Gu Jingchu's face was gloomy. "If she dares to use aphrodisiac today, she will dare to use poison tomorrow. Grandmother and grandson must not have such a vicious woman around them."
The Marquis's face also turned unhappy. "Mother, Chu'er is right. Aunt Lin did this and it was like she was tearing my heart out. What if she holds a grudge and poisons Chu'er in the future? Wouldn't that be the end of me?"
This is indeed a tricky matter.
Madam Gu was silent for a moment. "Just as the prince said, Aunt Lin has a bad moral character and should be sent back to the Lin Mansion."
Lin Wanyin's tears streamed down her face as she looked at Madam Gu. "Madam, please forgive me just this once. I cannot be sent back. I will never drug anyone again. If anything happens to the prince in the future, you will blame me. Even if you have to bury me with him, I will not hesitate."
"I have been injured by the prince, and I can no longer get pregnant in this life. I beg the old lady to show mercy."
As she spoke, she began to kowtow, over and over again.
Gu Jingchu couldn't bear it any longer, so he dragged her out, "Bitch, you still dare to make excuses!"
Lin Wanyin's eyes were bloodshot, and she said something to Gu Jingchu silently.
Gu Jingchu sneered, but his hands loosened.
He suddenly turned around and looked at Old Madam Gu. "Grandmother, I've thought about this matter carefully. Family disgrace should not be made public. So, let Aunt Lin stay in the Marquis' Mansion and kneel before the Buddha every day to reflect on her mistakes."
He changed so quickly that no one in the room expected it.
Gu Huailing saw it clearly, he saw Lin Wanyin said.
"Don't forget that I also know that you have Shen Yuan's paintings hidden in your study."
Although silent, Gu Huailing can read lips.
Madam Gu had no interest in watching this farce. She stood up and said, "Forget it. You are the one who makes the decisions about your own affairs in the courtyard. Remember to be sensible in everything you do."
After saying this, he left first with the help of the nanny.
Madam Hou was puzzled, "Chu'er, why don't you send that vicious woman away?"
Gu Jingchu's face was not good. "Mother, please go back first. Your son will take care of it."
Gu Huailing also stood up and helped Shen Yuan up, "Madam, let's go back. Leave this place to my second brother."
On the way back, Gu Huailing held Chen Yuan's hand, his eyes dark: "Madam, you don't have to care about those dirty things in the future."
Chen Yuan looked at Gu Huailing, "Grandmother asked me to go to Ronghui Courtyard to deliver medicine today. I came out for the sake of the adults. Otherwise, I would not want to set foot in my second brother's courtyard."
When Gu Huailing heard the words "for the adults", the anger accumulated in his heart dissipated immediately.
After sending Chen Yuan back to Shenduyuan, Gu Huailing returned to Ronghuiyuan.
Ronghuiyuan was silent.
Qing Mu immediately went to greet Gu Huailing when he saw him. "Master Prime Minister, why are you here? Our prince has gone out and hasn't returned yet."
Gu Huailing looked at him, "Where is Aunt Lin?"
Lin Wanyin was thrown into the most dilapidated room in Ronghuiyuan.
The moment she saw Gu Huailing, she hurriedly looked herself up and down, then turned her face away without saying a word.
"Where is the painting?" Gu Huailing said calmly.
Lin Wanyin suddenly looked up and looked at him in disbelief.
"Where is the painting?" Gu Huailing spoke again.
The house was eerily quiet.
After a while, he came out of the wing room and walked straight to the study.
Qingmu was nervous and trotted behind Gu Huailing.
Seeing Gu Huailing about to enter the study, he hurriedly stopped him, "Master Prime Minister, the Crown Prince has ordered that no one be allowed into the study. Please don't make things difficult for me."
Gu Huailing glanced at Qingmu indifferently.
Not angry, but naturally majestic.
Aoki shuddered and almost fell to his knees.
Gu Huailing's voice was unmistakable, "Tell Gu Jingchu to come back and see me in the study."
As dusk approached, Gu Jingchu returned to Ronghuiyuan, reeking of alcohol.
Suddenly, Shen Yuan's shadow appeared in front of him.
Just like in his previous life, when he drank too much outside, the first thing he saw when he came back was always Chen Yuan.
At that time, the woman's face was full of worry. While blaming him, she made sobering tea for him and took care of him meticulously.
Now, all of that is gone.
There will never be that pair of caring eyes again, and she will never stay by my side again.
Never again.
Gu Jingchu looked dazed, his face suddenly turned cold, and he laughed at himself.
When Qingmu saw Gu Jingchu, he hurried forward and said, "You are finally back, my prince. The Prime Minister has been waiting for you in the study for half a day."
Gu Jingchu suppressed his emotions and walked towards the study.
The door opened and closed.
"Brother, why are you here..." Gu Jingchu opened his mouth but his voice got stuck in his throat when he saw the painting on the table.
That was a painting by Gu Jingchu. The scene of him and Shen Yuan kissing under the moon was the most beautiful scene he thought of in his previous life.
"Explain." Gu Huailing tapped the painting with his knuckles.
An invisible oppression and a chilling icy atmosphere instantly flooded the entire study like a huge wave in the dark night.
Gu Jingchu sobered up instantly, the color on his face faded away completely. He stared at the painting and walked forward, trying to put it away.
But he was held down by Gu Huailing's knuckles and couldn't move at all.
"Gu Jingchu, do you know what you are doing?" Gu Huailing's voice was low, like sandpaper rubbing against pig iron, and every word was as cold as ice.
Gu Jingchu raised his eyes and looked at Gu Huailing, "Yuan'er was originally mine, it was you who broke us apart!"
"You beast! You actually covet your sister-in-law. Do you know what the consequences will be for A Yuan if this painting is discovered by others?"
Gu Huailing could no longer suppress his anger and raised his fist to punch Gu Jingchu in the face!
"Bang!"
A heavy muffled sound was heard.
Gu Jingchu wiped the blood off his face and hit Gu Huailing in the face.
He's been suppressed for too long.
"It was you who didn't want this marriage, and now she is your sister-in-law!" Gu Huailing was so angry for the first time.
The moment he discovered the painting again, he was extremely angry.
I sat in the study for an entire afternoon, constantly suppressing the anger in my body!
For a moment, Gu Huailing actually had the intention to kill.
He wanted to kill Gu Jingchu, the man who coveted his brother's wife and disregarded human ethics.
He grabbed Gu Jingchu's collar, lifted him up roughly from the ground, and pressed him against the wall.
Gu Jingchu was strangled to the point of almost suffocating.
His face turned from pale to blue and then to purple, his throat was full of blood, and Gu Jingchu coughed intermittently.
When Gu Huailing landed another punch, he suddenly grinned.
The smile was stained with blood and looked extremely strange in the dim light.
With a frenzy that bordered on relief, "Kill me!"
