Chapter 139: Since we have had physical contact, let’s get married
Gu Yizi has been on the march for many years and has trained countless soldiers. He has an inherent ruthlessness that comes from a sea of blood and corpses. Even if it is just an ordinary inquiry, it feels like a questioning.
Those eyes changed from affection to sharp blades, as if piercing from the top of the head, dissecting life open, revealing no secrets.
It makes people dare not tell a lie.
Zhou Lin's father was a civil official. She had never seen someone with such a terrifying aura since she was a child. At this moment, she was overwhelmed with cold sweats and lowered her head, not daring to say a word.
Gu Yizi did not continue to question Zhou Lin, but just glanced at the maids and servants who followed Zhou Lin.
Just one glance and all the maids and servants were so frightened that they knelt down.
"Shen Hua wanted to embarrass Xia Surong, so she deliberately made trouble. Today, Shen Hua also deliberately insulted Zhao Liu, and after provoking Zhao Liu to take action, she said that it was Zhao Liu who insulted her." The housekeeper beside Zhou Lin was the first to speak out.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" He didn't expect that his people would betray him so quickly, especially in front of Gu Yizi. He stepped forward and grabbed the collar of the old woman, trying to intimidate her.
But now no one knows who is the real master in this courtyard.
The housekeeper had not been with Zhou Lin from the beginning. She was sent to her side before she left. The indenture was not in Zhou Lin's hands. In the current situation, she naturally had to protect herself first.
"I dare not say anything nonsense. I have tried to persuade Shen Hua, but he would not listen. Anyone who dares to stop me will be beaten. Everyone in the courtyard can testify to this."
As soon as the old woman said this, the people behind her nodded, and even a few maids whose scars had not yet healed lifted their sleeves to reveal the scars on their arms.
"You...you...bitch!" Zhou Lin was so angry that she rushed forward and beat up all the maids and old women. No one dared to resist. They just lowered their heads and let her beat them, looking even more pitiful.
Without waiting for orders, Changfeng immediately sent two maids to capture Zhou Lin.
Xia Zheng was shocked and said, "Zhou Shenhua actually did it on purpose! Then the incident of Zhao Liu molesting her is also completely fabricated?"
The old woman rolled her eyes, guessing what Xia Zheng meant, and said vaguely, "Zhao Liu did make a move. He was very close to Shen Hua at that time. It seemed...it seemed that he bumped into her when he waved his hand."
"You bullshit!"
"We each have our own opinions. Prince, what should we do?" Xia Zheng frowned, she really didn't know what to do.
Gu Yizi almost couldn't help laughing. The little girl was pretending quite well. "Then ask the person involved."
Xia Zheng turned to Nanny Chen and said, "Zhao Liu is from the Internal Affairs Office after all, so Nanny Chen would be better off asking him."
Understanding the meaning in Xia Zheng's eyes, Nanny Chen nodded and walked over to Zhao Liu. After whispering something in his ear, she stood up and walked back, saying, "Zhao Liu said he bumped into something."
"He farted! He didn't! It just rubbed against my clothes, just my clothes!" Zhou Lin struggled and tried to explain to Gu Yizi anxiously, and his expression became ferocious.
But now, it has been proven time and again that she is lying. Even if she is telling the truth now, with her own mother-in-law in front of her and Zhao Liu who was beaten half to death behind her, who would believe her?
"My lord, Zhou Shenhua deliberately made things difficult for the Internal Affairs Office because of his resentment towards me, which led to Zhao Liu being tortured and plotted against. But after all, they had physical intimacy. If I beat Zhao Liu to death, he would be wronged. But if I don't kill him..." Xia Zheng frowned in embarrassment and thought deeply, not knowing how to judge.
"Since we have had physical contact, then we can get married."
Gu Yizi's words were like thunderclaps. Not to mention the others, even Xia Zheng was so shocked that she forgot to act and stared at Gu Yizi with eyes wide open in disbelief.
She just wanted Gu Yizi to speak up and punish him, but she didn't expect him to say such shocking words.
Let Shen Hua and Zhao Liu...get married!
This...wouldn't it make Zhou Lin's life worse than death?
"No!" Zhou Lin screamed and struggled hard, but the old woman's hands were like pliers, and she couldn't break free at all. In the end, she could only cry out without caring about anything else: "I don't want it! Prince! I am yours, how can I marry such a lowly servant? This is not allowed! I can't!"
Gu Yizi looked at Zhou Lin, who looked a little crazy, with cold eyes, "When did you become mine?"
In an instant, Zhou Lin froze.
Gu Yizi didn't recognize her as his.
Looking at the eyes that had made her heart pound just now, Zhou Lin felt terrified at this moment.
She shook her head and knelt down to beg, "I won't do it again, I won't do it again. Please don't marry me to such a servant. I...I apologize! I can make amends and apologize! I will do anything!"
Gu Yizi didn't respond, while Zhao Liu, who was lying on the bench behind him, used his last bit of strength to speak out: "I...I would rather die than marry...than marry an evil woman!"
He actually despised her!
Zhou Lin's eyes were red with anger, but she didn't care about teaching Zhao Liu a lesson. She just seized on this point and begged Gu Yizhi: "He doesn't want to! Prince, if he doesn't want to, then I don't want to either."
"Since no one wants it, then let's return it to the Zhou family."
When Zhou Lin heard the first half of Gu Yi's sentence, a light appeared in his eyes, but when he heard the second half, it was like falling off a cliff into an abyss.
Return it to the Zhou family.
She has been in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for almost a month. If she is sent back at this time, how can she survive? Even if she can survive, how can she live in the Zhou family?
Thinking of the faces of his parents, brothers and sisters, Zhou Lin felt that it was more terrifying than hell.
Do not!
She can't go back to Zhou's house!
Then I can only marry...
No! That won't work either.
None of them work, none of them work, what should I do?
How to do?
In a panic, Zhou Lin's eyes swept across Xia Zheng's skirt, which was close to the corner of Gu Yizi's robe. The two of them were naturally close to each other. Gu Yizi treated her differently from everyone else and doted on her.
Recalling that Gu Yizi's eyes were on Xia Zheng as soon as he entered the room, Zhou Lin paused, raised her head and looked at her.
He made up his mind and walked towards Xia Zheng.
At this time, the two maids tacitly let go of their hands. Zhou Lin threw herself directly at Xia Zheng's feet. Without thinking too much, she just grabbed the hem of Xia Zheng's skirt and cried, "Xia Surong, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again. I won't go against you again. Please, please talk to the prince and ask him to let me stay."
"Sir, no matter what, Zhou Shenhua has entered the mansion, her position has been determined, and her name list has been sent to the palace. She cannot be promised to anyone else at will. Although there has been a precedent, if she is returned to the Zhou family, she will not be allowed to marry again in the future. How about...she stays in the mansion. If the prince is unhappy about what happened today, then after some time, the prince's consort can find a reason to recognize Zhou Shenhua as her sister and then arrange the marriage. How about that?"
Gu Yizi looked at Xia Zheng, who was speaking sincerely, and sighed as if he was helpless with her. "Since you are now in charge of all the affairs of the mansion, then I will do as you say."
"Thank you, Prince!" Xia Zheng smiled happily and bowed to express her gratitude.
Zhou Lin also kowtowed, "Thank you, Prince, and thank you Xia Surong."
"Although this is the case, Zhou Shenhua, you have to apologize for implicating Zhao Liu and everyone in the Internal Affairs Office due to your personal grudge. I understand."
"I understand! I will definitely apologize, definitely!" As long as she can stay, as long as there is a way to survive, Zhou Lin can do anything now.
