Nobody comes here during normal times.
It used to be said that this was where the servants lived.
But what nobody knew was that there was a basement underneath.
Thus, Ning Wanru was taken into this basement.
When Ning Wanru woke up, she was completely confused.
She had no idea what time it was then.
However, she saw Gu Qingfeng and Lady Yu standing before her.
In a panic, Ning Wanru looked around and noticed there were no windows, clearly indicating it was a basement.
After thinking it through, she guessed, had Gu Qingfeng kidnapped her from the hospital?
Gu Qingfeng had quite the audacity.
At that moment, Ning Wanru’s legs and hands were both tied behind her to a chair.
Lady Yu grabbed a piece of paper and placed it in front of her, sneering, "Ning Wanru, take a good look at what’s written on this, will you?"
Ning Wanru’s eyes widened as she read it, filled with fear and trepidation.
She knew that she might be finished this time.
She then steeled her heart.
Fifty years had passed, and those who deserved to die had died.
Those who didn’t were nowhere to be seen.
Moreover, this was something from the old society, and current laws wouldn’t bother with such distant matters.
What could a mere letter prove?
Besides, the person in front of her was Lady Yu, the woman she had loathed all her life. She wouldn’t allow herself to be intimidated in front of this woman.
Thus, Ning Wanru threatened loudly, "You are completely lawless, daring to kidnap me . When I go missing, my son and Public Security will definitely look for me. If you know what’s good for you, let me go immediately; otherwise, I will truly make sure the Gu Family has no place to bury its dead."
Gu Qingfeng spoke coldly, "Wait until you can leave this place before you say that."
Seeing the murderous look in Lady Yu’s eyes, Ning Wanru’s heart sank early on.
But she feigned composure on the surface.
She knew that falling into the hands of these two, more likely than not, spelled disaster.
Previously, they didn’t have any solid evidence, but now they had this letter provided by the butler. They wouldn’t care whether she was actually responsible for what happened; they would pin it on her all the same.
All they wanted was an excuse to put her to death.
Having realized this key point, Ning Wanru’s complexion finally turned ashen.
After letting Ning Wanru see the letter, Lady Yu put it away into an envelope.
Her voice was full of boundless hatred as she cursed Ning Wanru, "Ning Wanru, you heartless wretch, how was I ever unkind to you, that you had the heart to throw me into Mass Burial Mound? How could someone like you still be alive today? You should be cut into pieces, torn apart by horses, and damned for all eternity... "
Ning Wanru watched Lady Yu with a venomous gaze; she could act pitiful or weak in front of Gu Qingfeng, but she couldn’t do the same in front of Lady Yu.
Ning Wanru clenched her teeth, without an ounce of remorse, "It was your life that was too strong; otherwise, would you still be able to stand before me and yell?"
At that time, only Lady Yu and Gu Qingfeng were in the basement.
While at the door stood Uncle Gu, silent and expressionless.
Lady Yu couldn’t contain herself, unable to believe Ning Wanru was still talking tough when facing death. She stretched out her hand and slapped Ning Wanru’s face hard.
The slap was forceful.
Blood instantly spilled from the corner of Ning Wanru’s mouth.
And a tooth was knocked out.
