Gu Chaoyan looked at Gu Zhenkang who was too timid to admit his mistake and who tried to get rid of everything. She wondered what kind of woman Ms. Lin was to have fallen in love with a man like this, just because he was handsome?


    Mrs. Gu was an evil woman, but no matter how evil she was, she did not hurt her children.


    She did all of these things, half for herself, and half for her children. Even at this moment, she would rather take all the me on herself, and have herself chopped than get her children involved. She even wanted to defend Gu Yunhe and Gu Ruxue when she herself was dying.


    She was so evil, but she was not rotten. She was still a mother.


    She was right.


    She was evil and she did everything, butpared to Gu Zhenkang, she was not that evil any more.


    Gu Chaoyan looked at Gu Zhenkang.


    She said coldly, "Are you really innocent?"


    It was very quiet in Mingjing Hall.


    "You im to be literati, but you look down at my mother who was a businesswoman. You tricked her into marrying you, so that you could get her dowries."


    "…"


    "You im that Mrs. Gu did it all and you have nothing to do with it, but you knew everything and you did nothing. You were even supporting the crime. You watched your wife getting killed, and you watched your daughter being drugged, and bullied by the servants."


    "…"


    "Now you are even using your other children to shield you."


    "…"


    "Gu Zhenkang, are you really innocent?"


    "…"


    "Do you still have the face to live in this world?" Gu Chaoyan said quietly, interrogating him with no warmth or emotion.


    "…"


    "Ms. Lin was killed by both of you!"


    Gu Chaoyan said furiously. She had no intention to spare Gu Zhenkang.


    Gu Zhenkang staggered and copsed.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    Mrs. Gu was still kowtowing and her forehead was covered with blood.


    Gu Chaoyan stopped looking at her.


    She said coldly, "Stop kowtowing. Gu Yunhe and Gu Ruxue are not good people, but they have never killed anyone."


    "…"


    "Mrs. Gu, you still have some humanity inside you, so I will spare their lives."


    Mrs. Gu let out a sigh of relief and continued to kowtow to express her thankfulness.


    Gu Chaoyan did not want to look at her, but turned around, heading out of Mingjing Hall.


    Everything was settled.


    The leader announced the sentence.


    They were going to have their heads chopped off.


    Mrs. Gu had be quiet. She epted the sentence quietly. Only Gu Zhenkang was not convinced. He still kept shouting that he was innocent, thinking that he had not done anything wrong.


    Gu Chaoyan walked forward and gradually heard no sounding from the hall behind.


    She could hear nothing, then she sighed slightly.


    From this moment on, Ms. Lin and Gu Chaoyan could rest in peace.


    "Elder Miss?" Sword One asked with concern.


    Gu Chaoyan waved her hands. "I am fine. Let''s get back to Gu Mansion and have things arranged."


    Sword One nodded.


    Their wagon went out of the backdoor of Dali Temple.


    The Gu Mansion used to be a very shabby yard that held many people from the Gu Family.
