After leaving the execution ground, Gu Chengrui turned to look at the siblings and asked, “What are you guys thinking? Do you want to go home with me or back to the Yang residence?”
“Let Chenglin go home with you. I’m going back to the Yang residence. After so many things have happened, it’s time to end it completely.” Yang Wanning replied.
“I don’t want to. Let’s shoulder it together.” Yang Chenglin shook his head.
“Be obedient. If anything happens, I won’t be able to protect you at all.”
“1 don’t need your protection. This is our problem, so we have to face it together.”
Yang Wanning wanted to say something, but Gu Chengrui interrupted her, saying, “Let him go. He’s already a half-grown kid. It’s time for him to make his decision.
“I’ll send someone to protect you two in secret.”
“Alright, sorry for the trouble.”
“No worries. Remember, you can resist, but don’t take the initiative to stir up trouble.”
“I understand.” Yang Wanning, her brother, and Mrs. Sun walked back together.
When Gu Chengrui saw this, he turned around and looked for King Rui. “Your Highness, the Cui Family have all been executed.”
“Hm, I heard that Mother God appeared just now?”
“Yes, she also left behind two sentences. Heaven has long arms. The good will be rewarded with good, while the evil with evil.”
“Heaven has long arms. Good, good. 1 hope all the bad people in the world can be brought to justice.”
“Yes, it’s just a matter of time.”
“You’re optimistic. Let’s go.”
“Alright.” Gu Chengrui replied and climbed into the carriage. After sitting down, he poured himself a cup of tea to warm his hands before briefly explaining what happened to Mrs. Cui.
King Rui nodded after listening. “The rest is up to you. If you need manpower, remember to let me know.”
Two hours later, the capital knew that Mother God had manifested
The saying that good and evil would be rewarded quickly spread. Even children who could not read could clearly repeat her words.
However, those who had done something wrong began to tremble. They feared getting struck by lightning.
When the Emperor received the news, he laughed and said, “Good, good. With the intimidation of Mother God, some people should restrain themselves.”
He looked at Eunuch Li. “In a while, pass on my decree. Tomorrow, all the princes must go to the Mother God Temple to offer incense and money.”
“This servant will go and give the orders.” After Eunuch Li finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
After he left, the Emperor fell silent. He had done many bad things in the past few years and didn’t know if Mother God would settle the score with him too.
In short, many people had the same mentality, leading to the exceptionally exuberant incense offerings in the various Mother God Temples.
Gu Chengrui returned home and went to the study to find Zhou Ying, who was practicing calligraphy in her room. “Babe, thanks for the hard work.”
“It’s alright. I’ll recover soon. Remember to send someone to the Yang residence to protect the siblings in case Yang Shicheng makes a move.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve already borrowed four men from King Rui. If anything really happens, they will act in time.”
“That’s good. By the way, shouldn’t we recruit some men too? We shouldn’t keep using other people’s guards.”
“We can’t rush this. Everyone in the capital could be a spy, so we have to be careful about this. Lin Yitian and the other three have already started vetting candidates.”
“Good. After Yang Wanning and her stuff are done, we’ll head to the manor to stay there for some time..”
