Ever since the rift between Gu and Gu, Gu Shuang always felt that she was not able to handle money without her help. Although she understood the accounts, it was not convenient for her to go out every day to keep an eye on them. At the end of this year, the dividends from various stores were particularly small, which was really infuriating.

Fortunately, at this time, someone told me that there were some good things in the warehouse behind the master's study, and none of them were stored or recorded, so no one would find out even if they were lost.

Wouldn't it be a waste to leave such a large treasure warehouse there? It's a good opportunity to let this maid practice and see if she has the ability and loyalty.

Gu was describing a bright future to Huixiang when suddenly there were voices outside the courtyard and General Xu, radiating coldness, walked through the gate.

"The master is back!" Gu Shuang hurried over to greet him, helping him change clothes and serving him hot tea. But he felt that the master was not happy today, and the dark energy on his brows was about to burst out.

"Master, are you not happy today? It's already the New Year holiday, why are you..."

"Don't you know why I'm unhappy?" Old Man Xu always speaks like this, very directly.

Gu knew it at a glance that she must have known about Nanny Gu’s affairs and was angry.

"Master, I didn't expect that Madam would be so bold. She actually dared to kill people! When I first heard about it, I was also very angry and anxious. She really betrayed our trust."

Father Gu didn't like this kind of beating around the bush, and he said directly in an unpleasant tone: "Okay, why are you talking about those useless things? Let me ask you, do you want to save her?"

"This... She is my nanny after all. We have been together since childhood. I..."

"Let me tell you, Shen Yue sent someone to bring me a letter today. He said that we allowed our evil slave to kill people, and he also cursed the Xu family's ethos. I was so angry that I really wanted to chop the old woman to death with a knife!" Old Man Xu said, making a hand gesture and slamming the table.

Gu Shuang: Eh? Shouldn't I kill Shen Yue? Why didn't I have any temper when he scolded me?

She knew that the master always disliked scholars who talked about Confucius and Mencius, but she didn't know that Shen Yue was an exception. Since Shen Yue came to power, Father Xu has been watching from the sidelines for three years. This civil servant is really different from others.

He has a straightforward temper, even more straightforward than me. Who dares to make the emperor so angry that he blows his beard and glares, and then act like nothing happened? In this respect, I can never compare to Shen Yue.

Damn it! What's wrong with him scolding me? He's right to scold me! He just spit on my face, what can I say? Fuck it!

"The master is certainly angry, but Nanny is also doing this for the Xu family..."

"Did the Xu family ask her to kill someone? Did they ask her to steal someone's wife? Did they ask her to beat someone's wife to a disability? How dare you say that!"

It seems that the master still doesn't know that Cai was crippled by himself...

Having said that, Gu didn't dare to persuade him anymore.

But Nanny Gu must be saved, not only for the sake of friendship, but more importantly, Nanny Gu has done so many things for me. If she really turns against me, won’t I be in trouble?

At worst, we can just keep the master a secret and send him directly to the farm, changing his name.

"Yes, Master, calm down. Since you said so, I will naturally listen to you."

Father Xu saw that Gu was sensible, so he didn't say anything more. The reason why he was so angry today was because Yi Yan was discussing marriage with the Seventh Prince. Although she didn't say it explicitly, Madam Jing should have gone to the palace to tell the emperor.

How could I not be angry when such a thing happened at this juncture that brought disgrace upon my family? If this matter delayed Yi Yan's marriage, I would definitely go to jail and kill that stinky woman!

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar year, people had to drink Laba porridge according to custom. Xu Yixing didn't like it because it was sticky and tasteless, but he had to drink it even if he didn't like it.

Last night she made an appointment with the Seventh Prince, and today she was going to visit Nanny Gu in the prison. Not to see her off, but to kill her heart.

The carriage swayed slowly as it moved forward, but Xu Yixing's smile never relaxed.

Gu should have received the news last night. The jailer accepted the money and promised to take care of Madam Gu, but refused to let her visit the prison. The reason must be that the adults took the case very seriously and kept a close eye on it.

Humph, bribery is different from bribery. The prison boss dared to take the money but didn't dare to let her in. Naturally, he had Lu Anyuan's instructions.

It took a long time to get to the prison gate. It was smelly. Fortunately, there were not many people. Everyone went to spend time with their families after the New Year. Only a few people were on duty.

The jailer said attentively: "Hey, Miss, you are here. Please come in!"

This jailer is probably the first person, besides the families of both parties, to know that the Second Miss Xu and the Seventh Prince are about to discuss marriage. But what does it matter if you know it? You are so depressed that you dare to say it out loud?

"Thank you."

"No way, it's as it should be, as it should be!"

The prison boss took her deep into the women's prison. There were not many prisoners in there to begin with. Even if there were, they all had dull eyes and no one knew what they were thinking.

The jailer was paid to do the job, and the position given to Madam Gu was pretty good, at the very back, very quiet. There was a small skylight above, so it wasn't too dark or smelly, but it was very cold.

"I'll stay here by myself, you all go." Xu Yixing didn't even keep Siqin. The jailer saw that the maid was leaving so resolutely and thought to himself, aren't you afraid that something might happen to your young lady?

This is the future prince's consort. If something goes wrong, will the Seventh Prince forgive me? Will General Xu let me go?

“Second Miss, please stand further away so as not to disturb you!”

"Thank you, but it's not necessary. Leave the key here, you don't have to worry about me." Ying Jiu also followed in, so what danger could there be.

"Okay." Get out of here quickly and run away.

Mrs. Gu was hit on the back and lay on the ground with only her head raised, staring at Xu Yixing. She was like a snake, unable to get up and could only hold up her head.

Xu Yixing took the key, unlocked the door with a click, untied the chain, and walked in.

"You are quite brave. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you here?" Mrs. Gu's voice was full of viciousness, but Xu Yixing could hear a sense of spent force in her voice.

She tiptoed forward and upward, hooked Mrs. Gu's chin, and exerted force to force her to raise her head higher.

"You're still in shackles, how can you touch me? Besides, try it?"

"Xu Yiyan! You are a lowly bastard! You are not worthy of being on a high platform! You are a filthy bastard. You think you are dreaming of marrying a prince. Bah! He is also a bastard born out of wedlock. You two are a pair of dogs and bitches!"

It turns out that Mrs. Gu’s insults are quite vicious. Okay, her mouth is dirty enough, so I don’t have any psychological burden when I beat her.

Xu Yixing ignored her. There was no point in defeating the enemy with words. Only by making her feel pain would she know what fear was.
