Chapter 517 Gu Ruinian escapes
Gu Baishuang and Gu Dashu, brother and sister, were puzzled as to why the Zheng family let Gu Ruinian go, and they couldn't figure out the reason.
The middleman entrusted by Gu Baishuang also found this matter unbelievable and could not find out anything after asking around.
Send Gu Ruinian back in two days. What a bold move by the Zheng family.
Originally, Gu Baishuang's purpose was to ask someone to go to the Zheng family to inquire about Gu Ruinian's news. She never thought of asking the other party to save Gu Ruinian, so she felt quite regretful that Gu Ruinian was only beaten a few times.
Gu Baishuang learned from Tong Huaqiong that when Gu Ruinian was plotting against Lian Hengruo that day, Xu Zaohua was also plotting against Gu Taohua.
And both of them used the most despicable means.
Since Xu Zaohua and Gu Ruinian were in cahoots with each other, Gu Ruinian should also bear some responsibility for the crime against Gu Taohua.
Gu Baishuang felt that Xu Zaohua deserved the punishment imposed on her by the Zheng family, and that Gu Ruinian's escape was due to God's injustice.
"It's a pity that the Zheng family didn't cripple Ruinian. Just wait, I won't let him go when I get the chance." Gu Dashu gritted his teeth.
Gu Baishuang thought about it and said, "But after this incident, Rui Nian will never be able to get up again. And Wu Ji will probably fail."
This can be considered as retribution.
"Serves you right! I'll have to publicize what Ruinian did when I get back to the village." Liu Yue'e said happily.
Because Yanguan Town has a developed commercial port and almost everything can be bought there, people from Qinghewan rarely come to Pingchuan, and things happening in Pingchuan are usually difficult to report back to Qinghewan.
Liu Yue'e wished her mother-in-law would come back soon so that she could take leave and return to Qinghe Bay.
"Second Aunt used to tease me as soon as she saw me. She said I was shameless for rushing to become Dashu's wife and that I was shameless for finding a man for myself. Even if I am shameless, I know that I should not touch a married man. Next time I see her, I will ask her about her shame. Her husband Ruinian has the shame to know how to behave himself, so why is he rolling in bed with married Xu Zaohua?" Liu Yue'e said loudly. She really wanted to grab a handful of melon seeds and discuss with Jia Shi. Was she shameless for rushing to become Dashu's wife, or was Ruinian shameless for warming Xu Zaohua's bed.
Gu Dashu broke out in sweat after hearing what Liu Yue'e said.
During the two days when Tong Huaqiong was away, Gu Honglian frequently visited Tong Huaqiong's house. After hearing what Liu Yue'e said, she flattered him, "Of course Ruinian is shameless. I tell you, Ruinian is lucky to have been seduced away by Xu Zaohua. Do you know who Ruinian is thinking about?"
Liu Yue'e, Gu Dashu, and Gu Baishuang ignored Gu Honglian, but they all knew that Gu Ruinian was thinking about the Second Young Lady.
Gu Honglian's next sentence almost made Gu Dashu beat Gu Ruinian up.
Gu Honglian said: "Ruinian is thinking about Jingzhe's wife. He said at home that Jingzhe's wife is as white as a fairy. Such a girl is the best match for him."
"Shame on you, you dare to think about the third brother's wife."
"When he comes out, I will cripple him."
Gu Dashu clenched his fists in anger.
Liu Yue'e said: "It's no use thinking about him. He is only worthy of being a couple with Xu Zaohua."
......
Five days later at night, Tong Huaqiong returned from the provincial capital with Gu Taohua.
The carriage passed by Wu Ji’s entrance.
At the same time, Gu Ruinian was pulled out by a carriage and thrown in front of Wu Ji's door.
When the Gu and Wu family members heard the noise, they all came out.
Under the moonlight, I saw a person curled up on the ground, and his painful groans drifted into the night.
"Lucky year, lucky year."
Mother and son are connected by heart, and Jia recognized at a glance that this was her son Gu Ruinian.
Wu Ren took a look and went in with his family, leaving Wu Na alone standing there.
"Ruinian, Ruinian, what happened to you?" Jia hugged Gu Ruinian and burst into tears, "My son."
Old Mrs. Gu wiped her tears secretly.
Passersby and yamen runners all looked sideways, and when they heard Gu Ruinian's name, they all looked down at the person on the ground with contempt.
"Okay, don't stay here, let's go in quickly." Old Man Gu said.
Gu Fengnian walked forward and wanted to help Gu Ruinian up, but found that Gu Ruinian could not move. Gu Xiaoxue silently stepped forward and helped carry Gu Ruinian onto Gu Fengnian's back.
Surrounded by the crowd, Gu Fengnian carried Gu Ruinian back to the backyard of Wuji.
Tong Huaqiong and Gu Taohua saw it clearly from their position in the carriage.
"Mom, the Zheng family didn't beat Gu Ruinian to death, they released him." Gu Taohua's face was full of disbelief.
Tong Huaqiong also had doubts about this.
She thought about it and realized that Gu Ruinian was not a person who would sit back and wait for death. He would either put all the blame on Xu Zaohua or exchange some benefits for the Zheng family.
The former is unlikely. No matter who seduced whom first between him and Xu Zaohua, he cannot be innocent as an adulterer.
As for the latter, what benefits could a student like Gu Ruinian exchange for?
A light suddenly flashed in Tong Huaqiong's heart. Could it be that Gu Ruinian told the Zheng family that he was a time traveler from the future?
She didn't believe that a time traveler would be burned to death as a monster if he revealed himself. Given the superstitious spirit of people in this era towards all unknown areas, if Gu Ruinian really had the ability to demonstrate modern advanced technology, he could really be worshipped as a god or a prophet.
I just don’t know what this half-baked guy, Gu Ruinian, can bring to the Zheng family with his ability as a “prophet”?
Tong Huaqiong waved her hand, and Nie Xiaofeng started the carriage and drove towards the house in the county town.
Gu Ruinian was put on the bed by Gu Fengnian.
Wei placed the lamp on the bedside. Under the lamp, Gu Ruinian was wearing a clean white shirt and white pants. Except for a slightly swollen face, his exposed arms and neck were not injured.
Gu Ruinian kept groaning.
There was sweat on my forehead.
"Ruinian, Ruinian, what's wrong with you? Where are you injured?" Jia Shimo asked while rubbing Ruinian's head.
Old Master Gu waved his hand, and Wei took Gu Honglian and Gu Xiaoxue out.
Old Master Gu asked Gu Fengnian to take off Gu Ruinian's clothes, and Jia did it herself. She was Ruinian's mother, so there was nothing she couldn't see.
Soon, Gu Ruinian was left with only his underwear.
The thighs, stomach, buttocks and back are all intact.
Old Man Gu's eyes showed an indescribable look. He pulled off Gu Ruinian's pants, but the thing in his crotch was still there.
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they were still alive, they had nothing to fear.
"Ruinian, tell me, what happened to you? Were you fed with poison?" asked Mr. Gu.
He had heard that there was a kind of poison that would take effect after a period of time after being taken, and it would feel like bugs were crawling all over the body, and the pain would go all the way to the nerves. The person would tremble uncontrollably, and in serious cases, he would even want to chop people.
Every time an attack occurs, the person has to be tied to the bed.
Over time, people will gradually become thinner, rotten, and eventually die.
The Zheng family wouldn't feed Gu Ruinian such poison, right? If so, it would be too vicious. It would be like cutting flesh with a soft knife.
When she heard that Gu Ruinian had been fed poison, Jia shouted at Gu Fengnian to find a doctor, while Old Lady Gu burst into tears.
Gu Youtian stopped Gu Fengnian.
From the moment he saw Gu Ruinian, Gu Youtian gritted his teeth and tried to control his emotions. He really wanted to beat up this unlucky son.
Ever since he passed the imperial examination, he has been in trouble several times.
Now that he has caused such a big disaster, how could the Zheng family let him go easily? The Zheng family might even expel them from Pingchuan County soon.
How can he turn over?
Let this son die.
