Chapter 331: Not Wanting to Let Anyone Go
"It's you!" Wen Zimei figured everything out and asked angrily.
Gu Ruanci was too lazy to answer and just watched her go crazy quietly.
Zhuang Hefeng, who was standing next to him, glared back, "People like you deserve to go to hell. You don't deserve to have children."
When Wen Zimei was in despair, he suddenly burst into laughter.
“It turns out we were all deceived…”
There was endless sadness and irony in her laughter. At this moment, she finally understood where the hatred between her and the Ye family came from during this period of time.
She stumbled to her feet, her eyes shifting back and forth between Gu Ruanci and Zhuang Hefeng. There was anger and unwillingness in her eyes. She didn't want to accept her fate, but after struggling for half her life, this was still the end.
"It turns out that I am the stupidest one." Wen Zimei murmured to himself, his voice low and sad.
"You are never stupid, you just have bad intentions. You don't deserve the word stupid." Gu Ruanci looked at him with contempt.
She didn't say anything else, but just looked at Wen Zimei quietly. There was a sense of pride as a winner in her eyes, but no pity for her opponent.
Zhuang Hefeng looked disdainful. She looked at Wen Zimei with disgust and immediately looked away, as if looking at her any longer would defile her eyes.
Wen Zimei's body swayed and she almost fell down. With the support of Concubine Wen beside her, she managed to stand firmly, looking ahead with empty eyes.
"Do you think you win like this?" She suddenly sneered, her voice filled with determination and madness.
Princess Duan and Zhuang Hefeng frowned at the same time, not understanding what she meant.
Wen Zimei took out a dagger from her sleeve. The dagger flashed coldly under the candlelight. Her hand holding the dagger trembled slightly, but was extremely firm.
Immediately, a eunuch shouted, "Protect the emperor!"
Prince Duan wanted to kick her to death at that time, but he actually entered the hall with a weapon?
Concubine Wen was also confused. Before she could ask anything, Wen Zimei spoke.
"Even if I die, I will not let you off easy!"
As she spoke, she suddenly stabbed herself in the chest.
A guard was quick-witted and rushed forward, grabbed her wrist and snatched the dagger away with force.
Afterwards, the guards stepped aside. They had not checked Wen Zimei's body today, allowing her to bring a dagger to the emperor, which was already a serious crime.
If Wen Zimei really died here, I'm afraid they would not be able to explain themselves.
"Want to die? It's not that easy."
Gu Ruanci stood up and walked up to Wen Zimei.
In front of her, Gu Ruanci spoke coldly, kicking the dagger away bit by bit.
Wen Zimei struggled a few times but failed to break free from the guards. She closed her eyes in despair, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"I lost, I lost completely..." She murmured to herself, her voice filled with endless regret and despair.
Gu Ruanci looked at her, his eyes still full of contempt.
"You've brought this upon yourself. You're destined not to get what you strive for, and you're unlikely to secure what you want. The people around you will die because of you. You should be happy, you troublemaker."
Gu Ruanci's words were like a knife stabbing into Wen Zimei's heart.
Upon hearing this, Wen Zimei suddenly opened his eyes, with a trace of unwillingness and anger flashing in his eyes.
"It's all your fault! It's all your fault! If you had died with Ye Hesheng back then, there wouldn't be so many things. If you hadn't come back, there wouldn't be this situation today. Do you think that killing me will be the end of it? And the Zhou family and the Ye family will always hate you to the core. They say they are all your blood relatives, let me see how you are going to treat them!" She roared, as if she wanted to vent all her resentment on Gu Ruanci.
Gu Ruanci was not panicked at all when she heard this, but instead found it interesting.
"Do you think that what you said can change anything? The Zhou family and the Ye family? If they really hated me and wanted to kill me, I would admire them for sticking to their views. Now, they have paid the price and regretted what happened in the past. On the one hand, they want me to go back, but on the other hand, they dare not atone for what happened in the past. It is really disgusting. They want to let me go, but I have never thought of forgiving them. Don't you think this is a coincidence? You don't have to worry about me now, but think about yourself. Wen Zimei, you know how many people you have killed. You think that your death can exchange everything for dust to dust, earth to earth, dream on!"
Wen Zimei's face turned pale when she heard this. She wanted to say something, but Gu Ruanci suddenly attacked and forced her to take a pill.
"What did you feed her?" Concubine Wen finally couldn't hold it in anymore and asked.
"It's just a pill that makes her completely powerless, unable to bang her head against the wall, unable to commit suicide, and even unable to bite her tongue. She hasn't even seen what happened to her sister. Why should she die? Concubine, do you want to take it?"
Concubine Wen was stunned. How dare Gu Ruanci take action in the hall, in front of the emperor?
"you……"
"What's wrong with me? She admitted what happened back then, so you're not involved? She only stole the token, but she knew where to meet the prince's private soldiers and how to give orders. How come when she stole the token, she also stole the contact information for the private soldiers from you, or stole the list of private soldiers? If it's the former, she deserves death. If it's the latter, she deserves death even more. No matter which one it is, why does Concubine Wen think she can get away with it? Do you really think that because she wanted to protect you before she died and took all the responsibility, everyone will believe it?"
Gu Ruanci asked Concubine Wen directly, making her so nervous that she sat down on the ground.
"mother……"
"younger sister……"
Lu Ennan and Lu Wenxue rushed forward, and Wen Zimei also tried to crawl towards her, but she didn't have the strength to do so.
"Gu Ruanci, don't go too far! What gives you the right to say such things in front of the emperor? You are slandering me, do you know that?" Lu Wenxue yelled angrily.
Gu Ruanci looked at the Mingyue County Master who hadn't grown at all, and asked again, "So you think what your aunt said is true, and that she should bear all the sins, and that your mother can stay out of it, and that your aunt can die alone without implicating you, right?"
"You are deliberately trying to divert the conflict. When did I ever say that?" Lu Wenxue panicked. Such words sounded really unpleasant.
Lu Ennan finally spoke: "I understand the feelings of Chaoyang County Master..."
"How do you understand this? Did your mother die too? Was she also hunted down by your father's private soldiers because she gave birth to an ungrateful son?"
Gu Ruanci didn't even give him a chance to finish his words. After all, none of the remaining words were what she wanted to hear.
Concubine Wen was trembling on the ground, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.
She had never seen Gu Ruanci so aggressive, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.
Seeing this, Lu Ennan frowned. He tried to appease Gu Ruanci: "Princess Chaoyang, please calm down. We will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
Gu Ruanci sneered, his eyes sharp as a torch: "An explanation? In front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, your father is still here, is it your turn to give me an explanation?"
