Without waiting for Mrs. Zhen to speak, he told her about what happened at the Zhu Residence, emphasizing that Prince Rui saved Gu Jinzhu.

Mrs. Zhen was stunned. She did not expect Gu Jinzhu to be saved by Prince Rui. She looked at Gu Bitong with suspicion.

Gu Bitong curled up in Mrs. Yao's arms, sobbing non-stop. She didn't say anything. The moment Mrs. Zhen saw her expression, she knew Gu Yiqing was right.

However, her heart was still burning with anger and she sneered, "So what? Even if she was saved by Prince Rui, it wouldn't cover the fact that she wanted to kill her sister! "My Gu family doesn't have such a vicious daughter. It's already too easy for her to be locked in the ancestral hall. Don't tell me we're going to let her off just like that!"

Gu Yiqing said lightly, "The person that Prince Rui saved, you handed him over to the ancestral hall. If Prince Rui asked, I'm afraid the family cannot afford to shoulder this burden!"

"What?" Mrs. Zhen's expression changed as she asked in disbelief, "Don't tell me Prince Rui wants to meddle with my Gu family's affairs?" She gritted her teeth as she looked at Gu Yiqing and cursed, "You dare to use Prince Rui to pressure me?"

Gu Yiqing said indifferently, "Whatever mother thinks, I will definitely bring Zhu away today!"

"How dare you!" Mrs. Zhen yelled as she slammed her palm on the table. Even the blue and white porcelain cup jumped up from the impact.

Gu Yiqing met her eyes but there was no trace of fear in them. He turned around and walked quickly to Gu Jinzhu's side and bent down to help her untie the rope.

Mrs. Zhen was so angry that her face turned green. For so many years, no one in the mansion dared to disobey her. Even State Duke's eldest son, Gu Qingyuan, had to lower his head and bow to her, but today, he didn't even have the authority to punish the younger generation.

But she couldn't do anything about it. When Gu Yiqing was young, she tried many different methods to kill him, but when he grew up, she somehow managed to get close to Prince Rui, a big tree. Prince Rui was infamous, and Gu Yiqing's status also increased, becoming untouchable and no one dared to provoke him again.

It was only because he didn't come back often, nor did he come to the Inner Court, that Mrs. Zhen turned a blind eye towards him and tolerated him until now.

Gu Yiqing helped Gu Jinzhu untie the rope and saw that her skin was broken. His pupils slightly contracted and a trace of coldness flashed across his face.

Gu Jinzhu looked at that familiar face, her heart beating rapidly. She felt that he had lost some weight, but was extremely handsome, almost to the point that no one dared to look at him directly. She was both excited and a little lost in thought, so she couldn't help but call out, "Third Uncle."

Gu Yiqing smiled at her before untying the rope for Su Ju. Su Ju was so excited that she was on the verge of tears. She said repeatedly, "Master San, it's a good thing you came back. Otherwise, my Miss would be in trouble."

Gu Yiqing nodded and didn't say anything. He held Gu Jinzhu's hand and led her to the door. Su Ju hurriedly followed behind.

At the door, he paused for a moment and said in a slightly cold voice, "Just now, some servant touched Eldest Miss and took her punishment at the door. One person, five plates, if you think you're lucky enough to escape, don't blame me for not showing mercy!"

As soon as he stepped out of the door, the back room exploded. The woman who had tied up Gu Jinzhu suddenly burst into a fit of tears. She threw herself in front of Mrs. Zhen, begging for mercy.

Mrs. Zhen was so angry that she almost passed out. While holding her chest, she fell onto the couch. Mrs. Yao and Gu Bitong were shocked and hurriedly went over to smooth her chest.

After a long while, Mrs. Zhen finally managed to catch her breath, and looked down at the wailing maidservants below. She waved her hand with a stern expression, "All of you stay in the room, I'll see who dares to touch you!" It's against the heavens, I want to see who has the final say in this mansion! "

Just as she finished her sentence, she heard a cold male voice from outside, "Pass San Ye's order, all the servants in the room listen carefully. I'll count to three, if you don't take the initiative to come out and receive your punishment, the punishment will be doubled!"

The servants in the house were all frightened to death, huddled up beside Mrs. Zhen, shivering. Mrs. Zhen's face was dark with anger as she shouted towards the outside, "Impudent! Let's see who dares to mess around! "

Mrs. Zhen sat on the couch angrily, while Mrs. Yao and Gu Bitong were also extremely frightened. The two of them huddled in a corner, not daring to speak another word.

The man outside actually began to shout loudly, "One, two!"

Following his shout, the servants in the room all had pale faces. When that person shouted "3", a group of black-clothed soldiers suddenly rushed in at the door. They all looked like fiendish fiends as they came over to grab the wives and maidservants.

A few old Lili who had been serving Mrs. Zhen for a long time were almost scared out of their wits. They begged Mrs. Zhen, "Please save me, madame! Please save me!"

Mrs. Zhen was so angry that her entire body trembled. She stood up and shouted at the soldiers, "You dare!? "All of you."

However, before she could finish speaking, the servant girls were pulled out one after another. "Bang bang" sounds of staff hitting the bodies came from outside, and were unexpectedly executed at the entrance of Yenfu House courtyard. Mrs. Zhen was so angry that she was about to faint.

Mrs. Yao and Gu Bitong were also trembling in fear. As ladies of the Inner Court, they had never seen such a barbaric battle formation.

Outside the Yenfu House Academy, Gu Jinzhu was being led by Gu Yiqing all the way out. Hearing the voice in the courtyard, her heart couldn't help but jump as she said, "Wu Tie, seriously … Are we really going to fight? "

Her face turned slightly pale. She was really scared by this staff. Mrs. Zhen was after all, an old lady of Gu Mansion, and she didn't care even if she was high and mighty. Third Uncle directly slapped her on the face.

She looked at him with worry in her eyes. Gu Yiqing smiled, reached out his hand to rub her forehead and said, "No problem." Her voice was like the splashing of jade in a clear spring. It carried a hint of rare gentleness, causing one to be absent-minded when listening to it.

Gu Jinzhu stared at him blankly. For a moment, she felt as if she were in a dream.

Under the sunlight, his white clothes were as elegant as snow. Standing there like a slender and elegant bamboo, his lips curled up into a faint smile. The sunlight fell into his dark and profound eyes, clearly reflecting her two small figures.

Her heart suddenly started beating rapidly. She discovered that she had been holding his hand the entire time. The man's knuckles were long and slender. He slightly gripped her wrist, which was as warm as jade.

Her face suddenly burned. She wanted to withdraw her hand, but somehow, she still missed the warmth of his palm, unwilling to leave. She let him hold her hand, her heart beating like a drum.

Gu Yiqing didn't realize that the girl beside him was blushing so much that he couldn't bear to be seen by her when he heard that the execution had begun in the courtyard. He let go of her wrist, turned around and said to Su Ju, "Take your Miss back first, I'll send someone to deliver the medicine later."

Su Ju nodded, thanked Gu Yiqing, and supported Gu Jinzhu towards Green Bamboo Garden.
