The husband who forced her to marry her couldn't keep her warm, and she didn't want him to

Zhou and Gu Jinyu stumbled after the official. Chun Xing held her belly, looking extremely miserable.

Gu Li knew that the second son would no longer be able to support her, and the clan would not take her in in her current situation.

All the valuables accumulated over the years were wrapped in an inconspicuous cloth bag and hidden on her body. She was supported by her mother and followed closely behind them.

Zhou's hair was all messed up, and she shouted without giving up: "Did you catch the wrong person? My brother Hui is a Jinshi of the current dynasty, and the son-in-law of the Ningyang Marquis!"

Seeing that the officers were unmoved, Gu Jinyu shouted even more sharply:

"My father is the father-in-law of the Earl of Yongping, and is a relative of the Commander. If you are so unreasonable, just wait for the Marquis of Ningyang, the Earl of Yongping, and Lord Lu to come and cause trouble for you!"

The sun was shining brightly, and the courtyard was filled with the howling of Zhou and Gu Jinyu.

The yamen runner wearing a flat cap was annoyed by their noise, so he stopped in front and said with a frown, "If you make any more noise, I will arrest you too!"

Gu Huaqing turned around and reminded the mother and daughter, "The most important thing is to put away all the things! Go ask a few relatives, and also find Sister Xuan..."

He was explaining something when he was pushed by the yamen runner beside him and staggered. "Stop talking so much nonsense, get out of here!"

Gu Jinhui, who had not had a good night's rest, looked a little gloomy. "You put shackles on my father and me without any explanation. Can you tell me why? Where are you going to send us?"

"Humph! You don't know what you did? You're asking now? Let's go! We still have to hurry back to Shuntianfu to report!"

The officers knew nothing about anything they were asked and just started arresting people. Their attitude seemed both arrogant and unreasonable to Gu Huaqing and Gu Jinhui.

Gu Huanian followed behind them, wondering in his heart what had happened.

I unexpectedly saw Chun Xing, especially her bulging belly. I wanted to go up and kick her, but then I thought of something and gave up.

In the sunlight, he, who was only in his thirties, had white hair growing on his temples overnight.

"Wait a moment!"

The gate of the Gu family was right in front of everyone, and a rough and loud voice appeared behind them.

Five or six yamen runners turned around and saw a tall young man wearing a flying fish suit.

This man had an extraordinary aura and stood in front of the group of people. It was obvious that he was the one who had just spoken.

The yamen runner who was walking in front turned around and bowed to Qin Lang, saying, "Sir, are you here to investigate official business at the Gu family?"

He did not connect the Gu family with the Jinyiwei at all. If there was really a connection, why would they come to pick up people?

Zhou rolled her eyes, walked to Gu Jinchu, showed a flattering smile, and said to her in a negotiating tone:

"Chu Jie'er, no matter what, you can't write two Gu characters with one stroke... If there is anything, let's talk about it behind closed doors as a family. Just like your grandmother once said, we all prosper together and we all suffer together."

Gu Jinchu looked at his aunt's expression with a sarcastic look on his face and said:

"Just because my uncle and my father are from the same mother, I will still call you aunt for now. Since aunt knows that we are a family, why did she bring the dirty water on me when she was slandering Gu Yan's reputation outside?"

"We are all family, so why did Gu Jinhui and his uncle's concubine get pregnant? And why did my father lose the ability to have children?"

"If I don't add insult to injury at this time, it will be my last act of kindness to you!"

Gu Huanian didn’t know that Zhou had done such a thing before, so he swung his sleeves beside Zhou and Gu Jinyu, “Repaying evil with kindness is not for villains like you.”

Qin Lang also bowed to the bailiff, casually but sincerely.

"I have some personal matters to attend to, but they won't take up too much of your time."

Several yamen runners looked at each other and walked to the shade on the side.

Gu Jinchu gave Bai Zhi a wink, and several maids and servants brought tea and snacks and placed them in front of the yamen runners.

Bai Shao turned around and placed a brown purse under the food plate.

After they left, the leading yamen runner took out his purse, shook it in his palm, and it felt so light that it was almost weightless.

He twisted it twice with his index finger and thumb, and felt a slight friction, and knew that there were silver bills inside.

Even if they didn't give money, they still had to give face to the Jinyiwei, which was a windfall for them.

Several people sat on the ground with relaxed expressions, not looking in the direction of the crowd.

Zheng Liu handed the several pieces of paper she had taken out to her eldest grandson and told him, "Go and have them sign and seal these."

Zheng Kaiji walked up to Gu Huaqing and his son, unfolded the letter and let them read the contents.

His voice was cold, not allowing them to refuse. "Sign it. These are all confessions from the servants last night, as well as your family!"

Gu Jinchu walked to his cousin and saw the two people who were still in shock. He said, "These yamen runners must not know that there are other unknown things about my uncle's family..."

Gu Huaqing has always been a quiet person in the Gu family. Now his face is red and his neck is thick. He looks at Gu Jinchu and growls:

"Your father doesn't care anymore, so why should you, a girl in the boudoir, do anything unnecessary?"

Gu Jinhui looked at the items on the letter one by one. Not to mention promotion, even the marriage that had been arranged would probably not take place.

He gritted his teeth and threatened her with a voice that came out from between his teeth, "Cousin, please leave some space for me so that we can meet again in the future!"

Zheng Kaiji pointed with the fan in his hand, and the shackles on them were put away, and the bodies blocking their way were moved away.

"You really don't know what you are talking about. Then I will take these charges and go to Shuntian Prefecture to beat the drum to appeal for justice! I will seek justice for the innocent souls who were killed by you!"

Behind him were her grandmother, Qin Lang in his flying fish suit, and the masters that her uncle brought out from the martial arts gym.

Gu Jinchu smiled slightly, with no sign of annoyance on his face. He was as calm as if he was talking to them about today's weather.

"You signed this just to give each other peace of mind so that you won't see each other again in the future."

Zhou was the most anxious. Over the years, she had lost count of how many maids, concubines, and illegitimate sons and daughters had died at her hands.

"Sister Chu is the most trustworthy person. If we sign this, can the past be wiped out?" He looked at Gu Jinchu expectantly.

As long as she is not caught, there is still hope.

Maybe she could find some connections outside with Sister Yu and rescue her husband and eldest son.

Gu Jinchu raised his eyebrows and looked at his uncle's family of four, then nodded, "As long as you don't appear in front of me again and don't say things you shouldn't say outside..."

"For example, my father has forgiven you for what I heard and saw last night, so I won't care about it anymore!"

"otherwise..."

When Zheng Kaiji saw that several people signed the confession obediently after hearing what had happened, he felt that he saw the shadow of his grandmother in the cousin beside him.
