She forgot to calcte what Mrs. Gu and Gu Zhenkang thought when it came to Ms. Lin''s death. She forgot that actually, the couple would need to sacrifice one of them so as to live on. And they would have no hesitation about that.


    Gu Chaoyan sneered, put down the curtain and isted herself away from the noise outside.


    "What is it, Elder Miss?" Sword One had just served the tea and asked.


    "I just feel emotional." Gu Chaoyan smiled briefly, sipped the tea and said, "Things will be settled today, and mother should rest in peace."


    Sword One was silent. She was looking at her miss.


    Elder Miss must have suffered so much living in such a family without a mother. She could not smile even though she was a young, lively girl.


    The wagon pulled over.


    Sword One was lost in sadness when Gu Chaoyan lifted the curtain and jumped off the wagon.


    Sword One followed her.


    The red gate of Dali Temple came into their eyes.


    There were already many civilians gathered at the gate of Dali Temple. They were all eager to see Gu Zhenkang escorted here.


    Gu Chaoyan insisted that the case should be processed in public when she applied for it.


    That was why there were so many civilians gathered here.


    For one thing, they were here to see the Phoenix Girl, and for another, they were all curious to see what the flourishing Gu Family would be like after they hit the wall.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Gu Chaoyan did not care about either of these.


    She was the Phoenix Girl and she needed to be seen by the civilians.


    Many people tossed rotten leaves at Gu Zhenkang when he passed by.


    Dressed in white, Gu Chaoyan walked towards the gate of Dali Temple, and then it turned quiet. The civilians were all looking at Gu Chaoyan as if she were a saint not to be stained. They started to bow to Gu Chaoyan, since the elderly civilians were all doing so.


    Gu Chaoyan, who had been walking so quietly, did not expect this to happen. She got nervous and hurried up, trying to get away from this ce.


    Gu Chaoyan flushed as she walked into the Dali Temple, letting out a sigh of relief.


    She was the Phoenix Girl, but she barely appeared in public. She had not known that the civilians of the Saint Divine Land already treated her like this.


    She headed to Mingjing Hall directly for the case.


    Gu Zhenkang was on his knees in the hall, surrounded by the audience. There were many peopleing to see the case, and many guards were asked to keep the order. Then came silence.


    "Gu Zhenkang, you know what you did?!" The leader struck on the table, shouting.


    "Leader, please, I have nothing to do with Ms. Lin''s death! Mrs. Gu poisoned her, that bi*ch did it all!"


    "…"


    "Mrs. Gu was the concubine and she wanted more. She had been drugging Ms. Lin since she came to the mansion!"
