Chapter 157 Come to take your life
Chu Ruohan looked at Gu Yun's panic. She had previously thought that the man in black who assassinated her and Gu Junze was sent by Chu Ang.
Now that she thought about it, she must have come here for Gu Yun. Thinking of this, Chu Ruohan sighed secretly. She had brought herself into a big trouble.
"Haitang, take Brother Yun away."
"mother……"
The little guy's eyes were red and he was about to cry.
Chu Ruohan turned her head away, she must not be soft-hearted at this moment.
Gu Yun was taken away, and Gu Junze said, "There are people secretly protecting him, don't worry!"
His voice was low and steady, with a reassuring power.
Chu Ruohan nodded. Yun Ge'er was her son now, and as a mother she would naturally protect him well. She was just angry because the little guy didn't tell the truth.
"I've asked the shadow guard to check Yun'er's identity." Gu Junze tapped the table lightly with his fingers, his brows slightly furrowed, and it was obvious that he was thinking more and further.
Chu Ruohan suddenly remembered the Zheng State totem on the man in black.
What is the deep hatred?
They didn't even spare a child, and even went so far as to chase them to neighboring countries...
Wang took advantage of the fact that Chu Ruohan had no time to pay attention to her, and was secretly delighted, thinking that this was a perfect opportunity to slip away.
She tiptoed out through the back door, her steps hurried and her expression panicked.
In order to protect herself, she exposed those people.
Now that she had calmed down and thought about it, she was filled with fear. Those people were ruthless. If they knew that she was the one who leaked the news, they would definitely not let her go easily, and they would even attack her child.
Wang was extremely anxious when she thought that her children might be in danger. She just wanted to get back to her children as soon as possible to make sure they were safe.
Just as she was rushing home in a panic, a beggar with a hunched body and disheveled hair suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her way.
Wang frowned, full of impatience. She was about to open her mouth to scold, but she was stunned the moment she saw the other person's face clearly.
She widened her eyes and stared at the ragged person in front of her in disbelief. It took her a while to confirm that this was actually Aunt Li, who had once been very popular in the mansion.
"Get out of the way." Wang's tone was cold. If it were under normal circumstances, she would definitely humiliate Aunt Li and vent all the anger that had been pent up in her heart.
But now, she has no time to waste here.
But Aunt Li seemed not to hear her words. Not only did she not dodge away, but she walked towards Wang.
Wang's displeasure instantly turned into anger, and she said viciously, "What do you want to do?"
At this moment, her eyes were blazing with anger, and she wished she could kick Aunt Li, the obstacle, away immediately.
Aunt Li slowly raised her head. Beneath her messy hair was a face filled with hatred. She spoke word by word, "I'll take your life..."
The sharp dagger, shining in the sunlight, reflected a cold light and pierced straight into Wang's heart.
"You...you are crazy!" Wang's voice trembled and she cried, and her legs trembled slightly uncontrollably.
She wanted to turn around and run away, but in her panic her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and she couldn't move.
"Don't come over here!"
"ah……"
The sound echoed in the quiet alley
Go to hell!
She wanted to see what color her heart was...
Until Wang died completely, Aunt Li sat slumped in the warm pool of blood, surrounded by a disgusting fishy smell, her eyes empty and resolute.
The dagger in his hand was still dripping with Wang's blood, and in the darkening sky, it exuded a cold breath.
"It's time to end this." Aunt Li murmured to herself.
She knew very well that once the news of her killing Wang spread, Xuan Ge'er would bear the heavy burden of being the son of a murderer.
She couldn't let Wang's children regard Xuan Ge'er as an enemy in the future and launch endless revenge.
These days, she has been hanging out with beggars and has already contracted a lot of diseases. Her health is getting worse and worse. She has no money for treatment and she won't live long.
"Women are weak by nature, but they become strong when they become mothers." Aunt Li thought to herself, and she decided to make one last plan for Xuan'er.
As long as I live, I will be a stain on Xuan Ge'er...
Aunt Li slowly raised her trembling hand and swung it towards herself. The moment the blade cut into her skin, there was no pain on her face, only relief.
The blood flowed and mixed with Wang's blood, gradually spreading on the ground and dyeing the land red.
The night is as thick as ink. The night watchman carries a lantern and walks in a rigid pace through the streets.
"It's dry, be careful with fire—"
When he turned into a secluded alley, the light of the lantern illuminated two twisted corpses. He was so frightened that he almost threw the lantern away. His legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.
"Help! Someone's killed!" The night watchman's cry instantly broke the tranquility of the night.
The bodies of both men died in a miserable state, and one of them had his heart gouged out alive.
After investigation, it was found that one was the second daughter-in-law of the third branch of the Gu family, and the other was so disfigured that her appearance could not be recognized, but judging from her clothes, she should be a beggar.
The coroner of the Jingzhao prefect determined that it was a revenge killing, and that the beggar killed Wang and then committed suicide, but the reason why she was disfigured remained a mystery.
Gu Jiacheng stood in front of the mansion gate, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
When he saw the body covered with white cloth being slowly carried in, his brows were twisted into a knot and a strong sense of disgust and bad luck surged in his heart.
He never imagined that Wang would end her life in such a tragic way, having her heart gouged out. Her death was extremely horrific.
"It's such bad luck!"
Gu Jiacheng cursed under his breath. In his opinion, Wang's death was so terrible that it really discredited him.
When he thought about arranging a funeral for her who died like this, Gu Jiacheng was reluctant and didn't even want to give her a decent funeral.
Just then, Wang's two children heard the noise and ran out from the inner courtyard crying.
Their small figures looked particularly helpless in the crowd, and they kept shouting: "Mother... Mother..." Their voices were full of fear and sorrow.
But before they could get close, they were stopped by the servants.
The servants looked reluctant, but they didn't dare to relax, "Young Master and Miss, don't look..."
The death was too tragic, and it was definitely not something the two children could bear.
The two children refused to listen and struggled desperately, their cries becoming more and more shrill.
The little boy's face flushed red, and he used both hands to pry the servant's hands apart, trying to break free.
The little girl burst into tears and begged the servants to let her go and see her mother.
The crying was like a sharp knife, piercing everyone's heart.
Gu Jiacheng watched this scene, feeling very irritated. He waved his hand impatiently and said to the housekeeper beside him, "Take the two children away and don't let them make trouble here."
The housekeeper nodded quickly, and took a few servants with him, half coaxing and half persuading the two children to the inner courtyard.
