Chapter 579 - 579: Bottom Line (1)



Old Madam Gu took a deep breath and frowned. She continued, “On the night of the Lantern Festival, Madam Lei secretly came to the residence to look for me and threatened to take her in. She even said that if she couldn’t escape, she might as well fight to the death. She would tell the Embroidered Uniform Guards that I had secretly colluded with the Lu family.”

“Although I have a clear conscience, my maternal family, the Qi family, and the Yu family are both in Yingchuan. This matter will never end.”

“Rong’er, you’re about to marry into Prince Kang’s Mansion. At this time, if something happens to the family and so many eyes are on you in court, I’m afraid someone will jump out and object to your marriage with Kang Wang. Grandma’s heart aches for you. I’m afraid I’ll delay your marriage, so… Sigh!” “Later on, when we split up, we moved out of the residence, but Madam Lei and her son were unwilling to leave. From the looks of it, Madam Lei should have joined Yuan’er…”

Old Madam Gu rubbed the space between her eyebrows weakly, her face filled with fatigue and anxiety.

She was half-truthful, but her words were actually full of mistakes.

Gu Jian and Madam Wang quickly exchanged glances. Madam Wang hurriedly said, “Rong’er, you also know that your grandmother has always doted on you the most. She thinks about you in everything. She’s just afraid that there will be some twists and turns in your marriage.”

“Sigh, we’re all family. We shouldn’t have spoken so politely.” Gu Jian also let out a long sigh, looking reasonable.

“Grandma…” Gu Yunrong was touched and supported Old Madam Gu’s back again.

It was wrong for her grandmother to take in Madam Lei, but Gu Yuan was too ruthless. He didn’t care about his family at all. Although the second branch had once inherited the title that originally belonged to the eldest branch, they had already lost it. Both the eldest and second branches had already suffered.

But Gu Yuan still refused to give up…

In the past, she had always felt that Gu Yuan was a cold-faced but warm-hearted person. She had misjudged Gu Yuan. Ever since Gu Yanfei returned, Gu Yuan has changed. He was no longer the big brother she remembered.

“Rong’er.” Old Madam Gu held Gu Yunrong’s hand tightly. Her old eyes were filled with tears as she said regretfully, “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have let your Second Sister come back. I caused you so much trouble for no reason. I’ve let you down.”

“If you have the chance to go out, don’t worry about us. As long as you’re fine, I’ll be satisfied.”

A warm feeling flowed through Gu Yunrong’s heart. Tears welled up in her eyes as she held the old lady’s cold hand.

She knew that Gu Jian and Madam Wang had their own selfish motives. Only her grandmother, who had raised her since she was young, really doted on her and thought for her.

“Grandma, calm down.” Gu Yunrong composed herself. Her eyes were as bright as the morning stars as she said calmly, “I’m here, aren’t I? My marriage with Kang Wang is in three days. I have to get married from here, right?”

“The Embroidered Uniform Guards can’t seal the place for more than a few days. Tomorrow, the Ceremony Director will come to the residence and let me try on the wedding gown.”

Gu Yunrong had married the Prince of the Second Rank and didn’t need to make her own wedding dress. Her wedding dress was a royal order prepared by the Ceremony Directorate. Now that the wedding date was approaching, the Ceremony Directorate had long decided to let her try on the wedding dress tomorrow.

Gu Yunrong’s eyes were burning. She believed that with Kang Wang’s intelligence, he would know about this very soon. Kang Wang would definitely not let the Embroidered Uniform Guards do whatever they wanted.

The rest of the Gu family also understood what Gu Yunrong meant. Hope ignited in their hearts again, and even Gu Xiao, who had been dejected, pulled himself together again.

As Gu Yunrong had expected, Kang Wang Chu You found out about this within five minutes.

Chu You had always paid attention to the movements of the Embroidered Uniform Guards. When he heard that the Embroidered Uniform Guards had gone to the Gu residence in Reed Alley, he specially ordered his trusted aides to investigate what had happened. Only then did he know that Old Madam Gu was hiding the remaining members of the Yu family. Moreover, the Gu residence had already been sealed by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Chu You was worried about Gu Yunrong’s safety. He was anxious and immediately entered the palace.

He originally wanted to complain to the Embroidered Uniform Guards and ask the Emperor to quickly release her and end this matter by cutting the Gordian knot.

Unexpectedly, the Qianqing Palace was unexpectedly lively at this moment.

The Emperor sat on the golden throne with dragon patterns on it. Eldest Prince Chu Yi, who was wearing an apricot-yellow python robe, sat at the bottom. On both sides of the hall below, Xiao Shoufu, Wang Kangyin, He Lie, Imperial Duke Wei, and other close ministers of the Emperor were all there.

There was a solemn atmosphere in the east side hall. Chu You’s heart couldn’t help but sink. He heard the Emperor say gently and dignificdly, “Madam Lei, this statement of yours is no small matter. This is a grave offense that warrants the punishment of confiscation and extermination of the family!”

In the middle of the hall knelt a weak and gracefully beautiful woman. Against the backdrop of this dazzling hall, her figure looked especially thin, as if she would collapse if the wind blew..
