“I heard from Yang Wanyu, who let it slip accidentally, that Mrs. Cui cut off my mother’s charcoal.
“There was also the chilly food that Mrs. Sun mentioned. If I’m correct, it should be the Hardy Ice Plant.” Yang Wanning said angrily.
Gu Chengrui looked at Mrs. Sun and asked, “Did you find out what the chilly food the doctor was referring to was?”
“No, we didn’t find anything after three days of investigation. Of course, it’s also possible that someone found out and replaced them.” Mrs. Sun looked at Yang Wanning and continued, “As for the Hardy Ice Plant you mentioned, I have never seen it before, so I don’t know if it’s true.”
Gu Chengrui nodded and looked at Yang Wanning. “Wanning, what do you plan to do next?
“Cheng Lin, you too. Tell me what you think.”
“I want to sever all ties with the Yang family. Cousin, please help me bring that scholar over tomorrow.”
“Oh, where do you plan to expose Mrs. Cui?”
“My father will definitely be there to collect their corpses, so 1 want to cut off all ties with him before that. We don’t want to be in mourning for those two, and we don’t want to get dragged down by them.”
“Yeah, otherwise, we’ll be acknowledging the thief as our mother.”
Zhou Ying agreed with them wholeheartedly. After all, the Emperor had already begun investigating Yang Shicheng’s corruption. Once he was found guilty, they were likely to face beheading or exile, which was worse than the Gu family.
She reminded the siblings, “With only this evidence, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave the Yang family. At most, you can deny having Mrs. Cui as your mother. You won’t even be able to get rid of your grandmother.”
“Yes, with the current evidence, I’m afraid it’s not enough for you to leave the Yang family.” Gu Chengrui nodded in agreement.
Even when Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying were kicked out of the family with nothing after almost getting killed, the patriarch tried to persuade them to make peace, not to mention that the Yang siblings had no evidence that Yang Shicheng had harmed or even abused them.
Yang Wanning was stunned after hearing that and a little discouraged. “How can we sever our relationship?”
“First, the elder must take the initiative to abandon you, but your reputation will be damaged.
“Second, you can point out that Yang Shicheng is a fatal danger to you and that you have no choice but to do so in order to survive.
“Although this would affect your reputation, a reasonable person would see your hardship.” Gu Chengrui explained seriously.
“Of course, if you can be on the side of justice and create a scene, then being abandoned by your father will attract sympathy from the people instead.
“It’ll depend on how you play this out.” Zhou Ying echoed.
“I understand. Thank you. I’ll go back and think about it seriously.” Yang Wanning nodded thoughtfully.
She got up after that. “Cousin, cousin-in-law, you’ve been busy the whole day. Rest early. We’ll head home now.”
“I’ll send you guys home. It’s on the way to King Rui’s place, and 1 can ask for that scholar.” Gu Chengrui stood up and offered.
“Thank you for helping out.” Yang Wanning thanked Gu Chengrui and left with Yang Chenglin and Mrs. Sun.
After they left, Zhou Ying sat down on a chair and drank her tea.
After that, she called for the bath to be ready and happily took a flower bomb bath.
Gu Chengrui returned home just as she was done. Zhou Ying went forward to take his cloak and hang it at the side before asking, “Is it done?”
“Yes, King Rui has sent someone to the manor to pick up the scholar. He will be entering the capital at around seven tomorrow morning.”
“Do you want to take a bath? It’s lovely.”
Gu Chengrui hesitated for a moment before agreeing.” Sure. I’ll go prepare some wormwood leaves..”
