Chapter 279: Massacre of a Family



Cheng Shaoyuan's eyes were on Gu Yunru. Looking at her thin figure and shaky steps, he said, "Why did you come out? It's just right. Hurry and help your sister get on the carriage."

When Gu Junyue saw Gu Yunru, his eyes suddenly dimmed.

But in front of Cheng Shaoyuan, she had to pretend to be close to him and hurriedly supported Gu Yunru's arm. "It turned out to be my sister. Why are you coughing so badly? Hurry up and get in the carriage."

Then he took the two of them back to Cheng Mansion.

Cheng Shaoyuan even specially invited Doctor Hu to treat Gu Yunru. Doctor Hu found that the princess was with him. He said excitedly: "Sir Cheng, this matter must be reported to the prince, and the princess must be brought back to the palace as soon as possible."

"Of course I know this, but Yunru must be tired from all the traveling. Let her rest here first. She will be fine."

Cheng Shaoyuan had habitually called out the two words "Yun Ru" without any hesitation, and Gu Junyue was secretly listening at the side. He changed into a dark blue floral padded robe, his pair of bright tiger eyes looked even more energetic, his body was strong and powerful, with a black vortex jade belt tied around his waist, and he walked in front of Gu Junyue.

"It's just right, you two sisters can have a small reunion."

Gu Junyue reacted with a bright smile on her face, "My husband is right, but I must be very tired now, so you should take a rest." Cheng Shaoyuan waved his hand. He had something extremely important to do at the moment, so there could be no delay.

He asked someone to pass the news about Gu Yunru back to the palace, and he went to the Dali Temple. Gu Yunru was lying on the bed, recuperating, and vaguely felt that there seemed to be a resentful pair of eyes staring at her, so she slowly opened her eyes.

"You finally woke up. I want to see how long you keep pretending." Gu Junyue's eyebrows were curved, and her moon-like eyes shot out a resentful light. Just by listening to the voice, he knew it was his good sister, Gu Junyue.

"Why am I here?"

When Gu Yunru woke up, her mind was in a mess and she couldn't seem to remember what she had experienced along the way. When she leaned on Cheng Shaoyuan, she felt an inexplicable sense of peace.

"Have you forgotten how you got here? My dear sister, you and your brother-in-law spent the night together outside. What happened? Have you forgotten everything?"

Gu Junyue emphasized the word "brother-in-law" especially to remind her of the relationship. Gu Yunru slowly sat up, leaned against the head of the bed, and looked outside. It was already late at night, and her face was as pale as solidified fat.

"Brother Cheng and I are just seeking refuge, please don't let your imagination run wild."

Gu Yunru knew that she was a jealous person. If she overturned this jar of jealousy, she would probably never have peace in the future.

“Stop pretending in front of me. Just stay away from him in the future, and there will be nothing between us.” A hint of disdain flashed across Gu Junyue’s cold and beautiful face. Looking at Gu Yunru’s sickly appearance, he waved his sleeves.

Gongsun Mansion.

"Brother, they said that it was King Zhao who did it. It was King Zhao who killed grandpa, right?" Gongsun Ningxue's eyes turned red. She had been crying all night and her eyes were swollen beyond recognition. She grabbed Gongsun Yan's hand and pressed it tightly, repeating only this sentence.

Gongsun Yan didn't know how to comfort her. His heart was like a knot of ants at the moment. Looking at Gongsun Ningxue in front of him, he swallowed his words back and couldn't utter a word.

"Brother, you weren't such a timid person before. King Zhao killed Grandpa. Are we really going to turn a blind eye to it?"

Gongsun Ningxue shook his arm violently. She couldn't believe that her brother, who always loved martial arts, had become like a coward, without any masculinity. Thinking of her grandfather's lifelong teachings, Gongsun Ningxue felt heartbroken and wanted to draw her sword to kill King Zhao to vent her anger.

Gongsun Yan was a calm person. He immediately grabbed her arm and asked solemnly, "What are you going to do?"

"Of course I have to kill King Zhao and avenge Grandpa. Do you think I should be willing to accept this fact? Today is Grandpa's 100th birthday, but he came here and forced Grandpa to death. I must avenge him!"

Gongsun Ningxue's eyes were filled with resolute anger, and she was completely blinded by hatred. Just as she was about to leave, Gongsun Yan pressed her acupoints and she fainted. Gongsun Ningxue fell into his arms.

"I'm sorry, Ning Xue, this matter is all my fault. You should have a good rest first." After saying this, he asked the maid beside him to help her back to the room. Now the situation is tense, Ning Xue must not show up at this time, so as not to be threatened and framed by the villain. This is not his original intention.

It was late at night when a man in black sneaked into Gu Yunru's room. Seeing that her door was not closed, he boldly slipped in.

Just as he was about to stab her with the dagger, he suddenly heard a noise at the door and quickly hid aside.

The person who came in was Rong Zhen. He rushed from the palace immediately after receiving the news from Doctor Hu, and finally he found the whereabouts of Gu Yunru.

He was secretly delighted. Gu Yunru vaguely felt that there seemed to be someone beside him. He slowly opened his eyes, but he didn't expect to see Rong Zhen as soon as he opened his eyes.

She had just had a dream. She and Rong Zhen were living a carefree pastoral life in a small courtyard, with a bunch of children running around. The scene was so romantic.

Without saying a word, she hugged him immediately, afraid that the scene in front of her was not real, "Is it really you, A Zhao?" Gu Yunru touched his back tightly, smelling his unique body fragrance, afraid that this was a dream and it would be gone once she woke up.

"It's me."

When Rong Zhen heard the worry in her tone, he felt a little proud. It seemed that she was still thinking about him during the days she was missing.

Letting go of his embrace, Gu Yunru pinched his arm hard and saw his eyebrows twitching, he must be feeling pain, "Why are you pinching me?" Rong Zhen looked at her in confusion. They should be happy to see each other, so why did she pinch him without saying a word.

Rong Zhen endured the pain, but Gu Yunru pretended to be relaxed and laughed twice, "I wanted to see if this was a dream, but I couldn't bear to pinch myself, so I pinched you." Three black lines crossed Rong Zhen's face, and suddenly he regained his serious expression. He looked at her and asked with concern, "I heard that you caught a cold. Are you okay now?" Gu Yunru stroked her chest and coughed a few times. She was fine just now, but now she felt that the situation was worse again.
