Go on ahead. Prepare a meal for 30 people; well go there directly after making a decision. You wont have to run back and forth then. Gu Chengrui nodded and replied.

After sending Zhou Ying off, Gu Chengrui looked at the people in the courtyard and felt that he had to prepare some drinks for them.

At this time, he remembered that there was still a servant girl supposedly here, Xi er, whom he hadnt seen. He quickly turned around, looked around the courtyard, and finally found her unconscious in one of the rooms.

He went up and pinched her philtrum to wake her up.

When Xi er woke up and saw a man in front of her, she was so frightened that she immediately screamed.

Seeing this, Gu Chengrui knew that she had been badly frightened. He took a few steps back and said, Those attackers are already under control. Youd better go and boil some water and greet the guests.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left the room.

Just as he went out, he ran into Gu Chengzhi. Gu Chengzhi glanced inside and asked, Are you alright?

Im fine. It was just sisters maidservant, Xi er, who fainted from fright. I pinched her awake.

Pinched her awake Gu Chengzhi looked like he wanted to say something but stopped himself. He thought to himself that Gu Chengrui sure didnt hesitate to act efficiently, albeit slightly rough.

At that moment, Xi er, who had just regained her senses, walked out. After seeing the apparent pinch marks on her philtrum, she knew she had misunderstood and quickly stepped aside to make way.

After Xi er left, Gu Chengzhi asked, Do you know who the b.a.s.t.a.r.d is? He dared break into sisters house and rob her in broad daylight. What a piece of s.h.i.+t.

I dont know. I tied them up and left them to Uncle to handle the rest. Well just hold the fort. Gu Chengrui shook his head.

This wasnt good for Gu Ziyis reputation, so the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Gu Chengzhi didnt ask any more questions and sat with him as they waited for the patriarchs answer.

The patriarch and his wife heard the ins and outs of the matter and were furious.

Mrs. w.a.n.g hugged Hu Ziyi and cried, My poor daughter, how did you meet such an animal? How how could he give you away?

Why didnt you tell us? Otherwise, we wouldnt have let you move out.

Thats enough. If that b.a.s.t.a.r.d was a good person, would they have divorced? The patriarch looked at Gu Ziyi and continued, Change the names of the two children. In the future, theyll be the Gu familys children and have nothing to do with the Chen family.

I understand, Father. Gu Ziyi nodded, then helped Mrs. w.a.n.g up. Mother, dont cry. I didnt tell you before because I feared you would be worried.

You two go take care of the two kids. Ill go outside and deal with those people. The patriarch turned around and walked out after that.

Father, theres someone behind Lin Dong. Dont be rash; just send him to the authorities. Gu Ziyi reminded her father hurriedly.

Dont worry; Ill see to it, the patriarch said after a pause.

When he arrived at the front yard, he saw that everyone was standing guard and had no intention of making a move. He knew that they were waiting for him to deal with the people.

To be honest, he didnt know what to do. If he were to be heavy-handed, then it was likely that the clan would be implicated when investigations began. However, it was simply impossible for him to just let them go.

But what could they do now? The patriarch walked to the two brothers, Gu Chengzhi and Gu Chengrui, who were sitting at the side. What do you think we should do with these people?

In my opinion, we should just ruin them. Gu Chengzhi said.

Ruin them? What do you mean? The patriarch asked in surprise.

Making them eunuchs.

The patriarchs mouth twitched. Its satisfying to hear it, but we cant do that. Otherwise, we wont be able to gain the upper hand when the investigation starts..
