Chapter 118 Let Chu Nanxin watch carefully and learn a lesson
"Yuling, take her to Chu Nanxin's yard and let Chu Nanxin take good care of her."
As she spoke, Chu Ruohan took Gu Yun's hand and walked back.
The doorman came to report early in the morning that Chu Nanxin and Aunt Li were outside the door, sneaking around and whispering for a long time.
This incident happened in the afternoon. If someone said it had nothing to do with Chu Nanxin, she wouldn't believe it at all.
How long had it been since Aunt Bao's incident? Had Chu Nanxin already forgotten about it?
Then let her learn a lesson.
Chu Ruohan asked Yuling to do this because she wanted her to grow up quickly. After all, there were not many people around her who could be of use to her.
"yes."
Yuling took the order and left, taking a few strong maids with her and escorting the little maid straight to Chu Nanxin's yard.
Along the way, the little maid was so scared that her face turned pale and her legs went weak. She was almost carried by the old women.
She kept begging, "Please, spare me, I don't want to die!"
However, Yuling and others remained unmoved.
When the little maid was brought to Chu Nanxin's yard, she was so scared that she had almost lost her soul.
Chu Nanxin was pruning branches in the yard. When she saw the little maid being brought in, the scissors in her hand fell to the ground with a clang, and her face turned pale instantly.
"Sister Yuling, what does this mean?"
Chu Nanxin asked while pretending to be calm, but his voice was trembling slightly.
Yuling stepped forward and said, "Chu Tongfang, the Crown Prince's wife has ordered that this little maid be beaten to death in your yard. You must watch carefully."
Chu Nanxin's eyes widened in horror when he heard this. "Beat him to death? Why here? I... I have nothing to do with this!"
Yuling snorted coldly, "I didn't say anything, but Chu Tongfang already knew? It seems that the third young lady has become very powerful since marrying into the Marquis' Mansion."
Chu Nanxin opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't say a word.
I wanted to slap myself.
Chu Ruohan caught her off guard. She was too flustered just now. Isn't this just giving herself away?
This slut, relying on Chu Ruohan's power, was able to show off in front of her.
But she didn't dare to get angry and could only hate him in her heart.
Yuling turned around and winked at the maids, "What are you still standing there for? Get started."
Several maids immediately surrounded her and pressed her to the ground.
The little maid struggled desperately, screaming miserably: "Miss, save me, I don't want to die, I still have parents to support me!"
The little maid's screams were like sharp knives, scraping Chu Nanxin's eardrums.
She watched as the old women mercilessly swung their sticks, hitting the little maidservant again and again.
Blood gradually spread from under her body, staining the cold ground red.
Chu Nanxin knelt on the ground, her body shaking unconsciously. Since childhood, her mother had raised the three sisters in the same way.
Chu Ruohan used to be the most gentle and kindhearted person, so why is she so cruel now? This is a human life!
The scene before him was too cruel. Chu Nanxin could no longer bear it and closed his eyes.
What a pity! Her mother had worked so hard to send someone in, but now it’s ruined like this.
Chu Nanxin gritted his teeth secretly, Aunt Li is really a waste...
"Chu Tongfang, the Crown Prince's wife asked you to watch carefully. Open your eyes."
Yuling's voice was hoarse. Although she asked Chu Nanxin to open his eyes, she couldn't hold back in her heart. She was just holding on, and even her fingernails were shaking.
She knew the Crown Prince's wife's intentions. She had to grow up quickly. With the wet nurse gone, she was the only one left by the young lady's side...
Chu Nanxin opened her eyes, and the scene before her made her feel dizzy.
The body of the little maid lay there quietly, already dead. The ground around her was stained red with blood, which looked particularly dazzling under the sunlight.
On the other side, Chu Ruohan brought Gu Yun back to Hongmeng Courtyard and asked Song Ruyan to buy all the food that Aunt Li had just used to coax the little guy.
Not long after, Song Ruyan came back.
Exquisite snacks and candies were placed on the table one by one, dazzling to the eyes and emitting tempting aroma.
The three of them ate happily. Chu Ruohan looked at the older boy and liked him more and more. Children all like sweets.
Although Gu Yun liked it, he had eaten it before and it was not new to him. He just ate it happily because he saw his mother happy.
Even Gu Junze, who doesn't like sweets, ate two pieces of cloud cake.
"Mm, it tastes really good."
He said with a smile, his eyes falling on Chu Ruohan again. She did a good job this time, cutting the Gordian knot quickly and efficiently without leaving any hidden dangers.
She is becoming more and more like the mistress of the house, no longer as cautious and careful as before.
Aunt Li was taken back to the Minister's Mansion, and the person sent there explained the matter clearly and then left.
Fire was almost spitting out of Gu Jiacheng's eyes.
"Bitch!" With a loud shout, Gu Jiacheng suddenly raised his hand and slapped Aunt Li hard in the face.
The slap was so powerful that a trickle of blood instantly flowed from the corner of Aunt Li's mouth, and her cheeks became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You've gotten me into trouble!" Gu Jiacheng roared, kicking Aunt Li fiercely. "Since you did it, why didn't you do it cleanly? And you were caught red-handed by the Anyang Marquis's Mansion. Do you know how much trouble this will bring me? Idiot!"
Aunt Li curled up on the ground, holding her head in her hands, crying and begging for mercy, but Gu Jiacheng was unmoved and continued to beat and scold her.
When Wang saw Aunt Li's miserable state, a barely perceptible smugness flashed in her eyes.
"Humph, this fool is so shameless. She did such a shameful thing. Why don't you sell her out quickly to save her from embarrassing herself here!"
The servants were about to take action when they were stopped by Gu Jiacheng. She still had some use. The editor of the Hanlin Academy, Zheng Da, was still waiting...
That night, Aunt Li was sent to Lord Zheng's bed. This old lecher was already over seventy years old, with a head full of white hair and trembling even when he walked. How could he still be thinking about women?
"Little beauty, don't be anxious." Lord Zheng grinned, revealing a few incomplete teeth. The smile looked particularly ferocious under the dim light.
"Wait for me to take two pills, and then I'll have a good time with you..."
As he spoke, he reached out and took out two pills from the medicine box on the table, tilted his head back and swallowed them, his throat rolling up and down, his Adam's apple clearly visible.
Aunt Li suddenly threw herself at Zheng Daren's feet, hugged his legs tightly with both hands, and begged tearfully, "Sir, please let me go. I still have a child... My child is so young, he can't be without a mother!"
Zheng Daren's expression was as ugly as if he had eaten shit. He glared at Li Yi Niang at his feet, "Gu Jiacheng, that bastard! How dare you send a woman who has given birth to a child into my bed!"
The sorcerer Shangguan had told him that the technique of taking yin to replenish yang required a young and beautiful woman, preferably a virgin.
However, for women who have given birth, their Yin energy has already been leaked, so it will not have any effect at all.
Gu Jiacheng was clearly cursing him on purpose.
He still wants to get an official position, so let him pursue his sweet dream...
The more Master Zheng thought about it, the angrier he became. He suddenly kicked Aunt Li away and shouted at the top of his voice, "Someone come!"
Two servants hurriedly pushed the door open and stood respectfully at the door, "Master."
Zheng Daren pointed at Aunt Li lying on the ground and said viciously, "This woman is yours."
He turned around and sat on a chair beside him, breathing heavily, the anger in his eyes still not extinguished.
Aunt Li originally thought that Lord Zheng would be kind enough to let her go after hearing her plea.
She struggled desperately, but she seemed so small in front of the two strong men.
"No! Don't..."
Anyang Marquis Mansion
Gu Cheng'an took Du Ruoling away. Although he had some money in his pocket, the two of them still had to spend it frugally, so they bought a small house with a courtyard.
Gu Chengan's eyes sparkled with excitement. He was finally free...
Gu Cheng'an couldn't wait to push open the slightly old wooden door and walked into the yard with Du Ruoling.
"Ling'er, this will be our home from now on." Gu Cheng'an's voice was full of anticipation.
Du Ruoling raised her eyes and slowly swept her gaze across the small courtyard.
The yard is not big, and the rooms are closely packed together. The open space in the middle can only accommodate three tables and chairs.
She forced a faint smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes, and she felt unhappy at all.
She has been living in the Marquis' Mansion since she traveled through time.
She had long been accustomed to a spacious and bright residence. The small courtyard in front of her was too small and cramped, not even as good as the residence of the servants in the Marquis's mansion.
Du Ruoling wanted to elope with him, but faced with the disparity, she couldn't help but compare herself with the Marquis' Mansion...
