Princess Gu was her daughter... When she did something like this, it basically meant that she had not taught her well. So if she died to repent what she had done, then all would be fine. In this way, the whole Gu Family would not be involved... Why should they get involved because of what Princess Gu did!
As she thought of this... Gu Ruxue’s face sank. She took a few steps backwards, getting herself far away from Madame Gu as a look of disdain hovered over her face.
Gu Ruxue had totally forgotten how much interest Princess Gu had brought in when she was in the court. What she remembered was how Princess Gu was getting them into trouble.
Seeing the way Gu Ruxue and Mrs. Gu treated Madame Gu, Gu Chaoyan showed a mocking expression on her face as she looked at Madame Gu – see? That is how the girl you favor treats you at this moment.
She shook her head inwardly...
Mrs. Gu had been full of complaints, so she never paid any attention to how Madame Gu was doing. And Gu Ruxue was already getting herself out of this place.
Gu Chaoyan sighed and said to the maid of Princess Virtue. “Please, Miss, could you please get Madame Gu a place to lie down. She should not be seated like this. As for the remaining affair, wait until Princess Virtue’s order which we are going to obey unconditionally.”
The maid looked annoyed... If not for this Elder Miss whom her Princess had mentioned before, she would not have even spoken to them. At this moment, she was also speaking in a very serious tone as she started to guide them out, “You are the sinners so you would not be able to have a good place to stay. Come with me to the servant’s room now.”
Madame Gu was carried out by Cai Ming and her other servants.
The servant’s room was not very far from where they had been.
As the maid took them there, she said straightforwardly, “Just hang out here. You are not allowed to go anywhere before the Princess arrives.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded and thanked her.
Mrs. Gu and Gu Ruxue left the room directly as if they would get infected with a disease at any moment.
Then Gu Chaoyan followed out.
Madame Gu waved her hand, shouting at her anxiously, “Hang....on, Chaoyan.”
Gu Chaoyan ceased her steps. She saw that both Mrs. Gu and Gu Ruxue were gone, and Madame Gu did not stop her. She sighed and threw a look at the old woman behind her.
Madame Gu looked very anxious. “Please... beg... for mercy to Lord Huai... so Princess... can be spared.”
She did look extremely worried. Madame Gu was a person who was only seeking interest and benefits, but at this moment, she still cared about her daughter Princess Gu. She was asking her for help.
However, that was not going to be possible. The princess having an affair was going to get her, or even her whole family killed.
Had Madam Gu ever considered what would happen if she begged for mercy? Had she ever thought about what consequences would happen to her if she did beg for mercy? Or did she think that her life was not important at all.
She sneered. “Madame Gu, do you think that would be possible?”
“...”
“The man that slept with Princess Gu was Mrs. Gu’s nephew. Mrs. Gu might have come up with a plan, but she alone would not have been able to hide a man here in the court. That basically meant that Princess Gu and Mrs. Gu had worked together to set me up.”
“...”
“If I had not gone out of the room because of needing the toilet, then it would have been me who fell into trouble. Do you think that I am going to beg for mercy for the people who are setting me up?”
“...”
“Princess Gu has gotten what she deserves.”
“...”
“She was checking up on me in the room, but she did not expect that Zhang Liangyi had been drugged so he could not tell whom he was sleeping with. He forced Princess Gu!” Gu Chaoyan said with a serious look on her face.
Well...
