Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Gu Chengbin was so scared that he did not dare to make a sound and continued to cry silently.
“Young Master, we really didn’t know about this. Please let us go. If there’s anything, you can go find my second daughter. My son and I no longer have any relationship with her,” Madam Kou said calmly.
“It’s not up to you to decide whether they’re related or not. Since you have no guilt in your hearts, then please come with us. If you are proven innocent in the end, our Wang family will naturally give you compensation. Bring the two of them to the king’s residence and wait for Miss Gu t s judgment.” Liu Yi quickly gave his men a look.
The secret guards immediately took out ropes and tied up the mother and son.
Seeing that no one present had any objections to Liu Yi’s suggestion to let Gu
Qingxue interrogate them, Madam Kou’s eyes could not help but waver a little.
However, Madam Kou quickly kept her emotions in check and did not let anyone see through her.
On the other hand. Gu Chengbin was stunned. He shouted in disbelief. “Why is it Gu Qingxue who’s interrogating us? I don’t want to see that traitor, she…”
Before Gu Chengbin could finish his offensive words, his mouth was gagged and he was taken away by force.
After Liu Yi brought the mother and son to the prince regent residence, he first interrogated them.
Gu Chengbin was covered in blood. He cried and screamed until he passed out. Madam Kou had also been punished, but they had expressed that they knew nothing.
Since the two of them were indeed innocent and were only implicated, Liu Yi did not dare to torture them, so he could only ask Gu Qingxue for help.
In the side hall of the imperial palace, Liu Yi stood by Rong Zhan’s bed and reported to Gu Qingxue, who was sitting by the bed. “So far, we can be sure that we’ve found Madam Kou and Gu Chengbin. But looking at the mother and son, Gu Chengbin obviously doesn’t know anything. Madam Kou might know something important, but she’s very tight-lipped, and it’s not convenient for us to extort a confession from her.’
When Gu Qingxue heard this, she smiled slowly. “Madam Kou is a scheming person. In order to obtain the Gu family’s inheritance, she has been enduring silently. Naturally, she is not easy to deal with. Especially since she’s already lost everything and her child is her only hope of turning things around. Naturally, she can’t easily expose Gu Lingyue.”
“But she’s so uncooperative. Do we have to wait until the right time to capture Gu Lingyue? ” Liu Yi asked.
“Gu Lingyue isn’t the only child that Madam Kou cares about.” Gu Qingxue said with a half-smile, “To Madam Kou, both the palm and the back of their hands are meat. As long as we’re ruthless, she’ll have no choice but to speak no matter how much she doesn’t want to.
“Miss Gu, do you mean to start with Gu Chengbin? However, when we tortured Gu Chengbin, Madam Kou did not react at all. Even when Gu Chengbin was crying for his parents, she didn’t waver.” Liu Yi frowned.
“She’s not a fool. She knows that you don’t dare to kill them easily, but I’m different. I know what she fears the most. Let’s go. His Royal Highness’ condition has stabilized a lot. Please ask the martial arts court’s judge to come over and help look after him. I’ll go back to the Regent Kings residence with you first.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she took Rong Zhan’s pulse. After making sure that he would not wake up for the time being, she stood up.
Seeing the dark circles under Gu Qingxue’s eyes and her exhausted expression, Liu Yi could not stop her. He could only do his best to cooperate with her and rush out of the palace to the prince regent’s residence..
