C57 Complaint (2/2)

”Master, be careful, I heard that this Sharp King isn't someone to be trifled with. The people who offended him were all informed that Minister Liu's family had just said one bad thing about him, that their entire family was raided, their women were exiled, and nearly a hundred men were taken to Caishikou, where they were imprisoned and beheaded.”

She patted her chest with a face full of fear, ”Amitabha, that is a god of death, we cannot afford to offend him.”

Gu Qingyuan frowned but didn't say anything in the end. He only lowered his voice and said, ”His Majesty sent Third Prince to the water hazard in Binzhou, but for some reason, Prince Rui took over. It's said that he found out that officials there had embezzled money and embezzled it for disaster relief.

”Oh my god!” Lady Yao cried out in alarm, ”More than thirty officials said to cut him down so easily. Isn't this Sharp King insane?”

”Yeah!” Gu Qingyuan heaved a long sigh, ”The whole court has been in an uproar, and the officials of the Emperor have sent a petition to impeach the Third Prince, saying that he is aiding the officials and colluding with those deceitful officials. The Third Prince has never been easy to get along with anyone, and in the past few years, he has also managed to establish a network of connections with many people, and the two sides have started quarreling in the imperial court. It's a pity for us little fish and shrimp who were involved in this. One of us is in the wrong team, so we might have to …”

He gestured around his neck.

Lady Yao was so frightened that her face paled, and she hurriedly said, ”Isn't that Third Brother of yours working for King Sharp? Let him speak to King Ruo. This matter is none of our business. ”

There was a trace of anger in Gu Qingyuan's eyes as he slapped the table and cursed, ”Old Third? It was better without him! Just because he's with the Arterial King, the Fifth Prince now sees me as a thorn in his side, and may even be implicated by this evil creature one day! ”

”Heavens, what should we do now? No, I have to talk to my mother and ask her to chase that scourge away.” Yao Lao was momentarily flustered. She was a woman who was clueless in the inner chamber. When she heard that someone would cause the extermination of her family, she couldn't sit still any longer.

”Alright, alright, there's no rush. What if the Sharp King wins?” Gu Qingyuan frowned, his eyes dark.

Now was the competition between the fifth prince and the third prince. The bet was all on luck, and the king was always favored by the emperor. What if he won this time and they had to rely on the third prince first, then wouldn't that be courting death?

She pinched her handkerchief and sobbed, ”Earlier, I said that I had to get rid of this disaster as soon as possible, but I refused to listen. Now that I'm tied to Sharp King's ship, I want to see just what kind of people this family will get killed by him.”

Gu Qingyuan waved his hand impatiently. ”Alright, alright, I don't need you to worry about me.”

When he turned to look at Gu Bi Tong, he realized that his daughter was still there. He was afraid that she would scare him by listening in a daze, so he couldn't help but take a deep breath and say, ”Tong'er, why aren't you eating? ”The food is cold.” As he spoke, he personally picked up a piece of fish for her.

Gu Beitong, on the other hand, was poking with her chopsticks, seemingly without the slightest bit of appetite.

Gu Qingyuan frowned, ”How did the kitchen cook today?” Is it not to Tong`er's taste? ”

Mistress Yao instantly retracted her tears, frowned and sneered, ”Isn't it because of that good daughter of yours who just came back? Normally, she wouldn't even take me seriously, but now she's even bullying Tong'er, how can she still eat!”

Gu Qingyuan was startled. ”What's going on?”

”My family's Tong'er has such an esteemed status that even esteemed wangfei dotes on her. How could she allow a little girl and Tong'er to have a new name? That's preposterous!” Mother sent a message for that little girl to change her name. That good girl of yours is really quite magnanimous, she directly beat the little girl to death! I don't think I should stay in this house anymore, for others to throw my face like this! ”

Gritting her teeth in hatred, Gu Bi Tong's eyes reddened slightly, but she didn't utter a single word. She looked as if she was enduring the pain.
