His fists were tightly clenched.
He would have killed the man and woman directly, if it were for someone else, but he could not do that to Gu Ruxue. She was the Phoenix Girl, and only by marrying her would he be able to get the whole world.
So he had to tolerate the anger, even if he was very angry. He had to tolerate the deed for the sake of his upcoming world.
He clenched his teeth and tried to calm himself down before he spoke. “Get her clothes on, and that man.” He turned to Gu Zhenkang, “Kill him, he should not see another day in this world.”
“Also.” Zhou Huailing looked at the people present at the study.
Gu Zhenkang, Mrs. Gu and Gu Chaoyan as well as several servants were there.
The Gu Family had to be kept, but those servants... Zhou Huailing took out the dagger, tossed it at Lianxiang and Sword One as they said, “You two, kill yourself.”
Lianxiang got so frightened that she started to shiver from head to toes. She threw herself down at Mrs. Gu’s feet. “Please, help me, please!”
Mrs. Gu did not spare a look at Lianxiang. Since the Lord did not blame them but tried to get the servants killed. He basically meant that he was not going to give up Ruxue. As long as Ruxue was fine, Lianxiang would mean nothing to her.
As long as Lord Ling was satisfied.
Seeing Lianxiang kowtowing, Mrs. Gu grabbed the dagger and stabbed directly into Lianxiang’s belly. “Don’t blame me for a thing, blame yourself for seeing too much.”
Mrs. Gu did not even hesitate a thing.
Now it came to Sword One. Zhou Huailing glared at Sword One fiercely, but Sword One did not go and grab the dagger, nor did she beg for mercy. She did not even show a touch of fear on her face.
Gu Chaoyan, who had been silent during the whole process, said openly, “She is mine.”
Zhou Huailing frowned. He gazed at Gu Chaoyan as if a rainstorm was coming around the corner. “So you are saying that you are defending her?”
Gu Chaoyan shrugged. “She is mine, and her life is not at your mercy.”
“...”
“Mrs. Gu, it was your maid who asked me to come to the study. I don’t care what happened, but I am not sacrificing my girl for anything you have done,” Gu Chaoyan said without showing a sign of compromising. “As for the rest, you can do whatever you like.”
Zhou Huailing closed his eyes. He let out a heavy sigh. He did not think Zhou Huaijin was a threat, but he did not want to establish a bad relationship with Zhou Huaijin at this moment either. It was not a good strategy to become his foe on the surface.
He waved his hand. “You can leave now, but you must not leak what happened today!”
Gu Chaoyan showed a smile and left with Sword One without saying a thing.
Gu Zhenkang and Mrs. Gu were shivering in fright as they looked at Lord Ling.
“Lord, Ruxue must have been set up! She is innocent.... your wedding...” Mrs. Gu asked boldly. She was assured enough because Lord Ling was helping them out whilst Ruxue was the Phoenix Girl!
Zhou Huailing stayed silent for a long while.
That was the first time in his life that he was so helpless. He could not vent this anger even if he was cheated!
He glared at Mrs. Gu. “The wedding is still on, don’t mention anything about what happened today, otherwise even I won’t be able to help you!”
The words had just been spoken, when a scream arose from the study!
