Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

"Who are you?"

Gui Yao stared blankly for a moment, then pretended to be blind and asked the person opposite her.

Gu Nansheng didn't reply, but instead asked Gui Yao, "Do you have an eye condition?"

He doesn't sound foolish at all when he speaks.

Gui Yao didn't answer, but pretended to be scared and shrank back.

Gu Nansheng chuckled, "What a pity for such beautiful eyes, but she has a good figure."

He took a few more steps closer to Gui Yao, raising his hand to touch her face. Gui Yao dodged, and Gu Nansheng grinned maliciously, "What are you hiding for? Tonight is our wedding night..."

"Bang!"

The door was pushed open.

Gui Yao raised an eyebrow slightly.

It's Madam Gu!

Gu Nansheng, however, seemed to have expected this, and smiled smugly, "Mother, you've come."

"She's blind, she's not good enough for you."

Madam Gu ordered, "Someone, take her away."

The maidservant stepped forward tremblingly to help Gui Yao, but Gu Nansheng grabbed her by the neck. "Will Mother stay?"

The maid's face flushed red instantly, and she struggled, suffocating.

"Snapped!"

Madam Gu slapped Gu Nansheng across the face, "Get all the irrelevant people out."

"it is good."

Gu Nansheng was not angry at being hit; instead, she smiled and released the maid.

"lady……"

The maid's eyes showed worry.

Madam Gu looked at her coldly, "Take her and get out of the Gu family. I never want to see you again."

The maid hurriedly pulled Gui Yao away. Gui Yao pretended to trip and glanced at the two people behind her. Madam Gu and Gu Nansheng were already embracing each other.

Stepping out of the room, she asked the maid, "What happened just now? Why didn't Auntie leave?"

"If you want to live, don't ask questions."

The maid warned in a low voice.

"Will she be alright?"

The maid paused, then pulled her forward, saying in a low voice, "Madam will be alright, only Madam will be alright."

Gui Yao hesitated whether to turn back and see what was going on, when the maid suddenly stopped, her face turning deathly pale.

"Second Madam..."

Upon seeing the person approaching, the maid instinctively exclaimed in surprise and turned to run back.

"Take it down."

The richly dressed Madam Gu gave a cold order, and more than a dozen servants swarmed forward, covering the maid's mouth and binding her hands and feet in the blink of an eye.

The maid struggled desperately, making muffled noises, as if trying to send a message.

Gui Yao didn't struggle. Now she didn't need to go back to find out what was going on; these people didn't have good intentions.

Moments later, news of Madam Gu's inability to bear the loneliness and her forced incestuous relationship with her own son caused an uproar in the mansion.

Madam Gu, dressed only in her undergarments, was escorted out of her room by servants.

Madam Gu clicked her tongue and shook her head. "So that's why all the women my mother arranged for Nan Sheng to die. It turns out it was you, sister-in-law, who did it."

Knowing that her elder brother passed away early, and that her sister-in-law has had a difficult time as a widow all these years, but Nan Sheng is only five years old in mind. Sister-in-law, even animals aren't as beastly as you.

Madam Gu did not respond, as if she had not heard.

Only when she saw the captured maid and Gui Yao did she speak, "It has nothing to do with them, release them."

Madam Gu, already furious at being ignored, sneered upon hearing this, "Sister-in-law, you've done such despicable things, and now you're pretending to be a good person..."

Before the Second Madam could finish speaking, Madam Gu said calmly, "I will tell you the Second Master's whereabouts before I die."

The second wife immediately reacted as if a cat had been choked, "You'd better keep your word."

She waved to the servants, signaling them to throw the maid and Gui Yao out.

"That was her personal maid, the most compelling witness."

Her sister from her maternal family, who had come with Madam Gu, disagreed with her actions.

"My sister-in-law has committed such a disgraceful act, there's no way she can live, but Nansheng is my brother's only child."

Madam Gu the Second deliberately said it to Madam Gu.

"After he loses his mother, he will inevitably need me, his second aunt, to take care of him."

She felt that using Gu Nansheng to threaten Madam Gu was the most effective method.

Madam Gu did not say another word.

Madam Gu was furious and ordered her to be locked in the woodshed to await the elders' judgment.

As the servants left the mansion to find the clan elders, news of the Gu family's affair spread.

Gui Yao and her maid were pushed out of the Gu residence.

"Madam, please release Madam..."

The maid, now free, pounded on the door like a madwoman, only to be knocked to the ground by the servants.

"You helped cover up the First Madam's scandalous affair, which is a capital offense. The Second Madam is merciful and spared your life. Don't be ungrateful."

The maid was about to knock on the door again when Gui Yao pulled her away, saying, "Let's go."

"You can leave now."

The maidservant hastily removed the silver bracelet and headdress from her wrist and stuffed them into Gui Yao's hand.

"These can fetch some money. I hope you find your family soon. I can't abandon you, Madam."

Unable to persuade him otherwise, Gui Yao forcefully dragged him away from the Gu residence, asking, "Did your mistress really kill those women?"

"no."

The maidservant hurriedly replied, "Madam has never taken anyone's life."

"But only you know."

Gui Yao said calmly, "If you die, people will only believe the rumors."

Seeing this, she understood.

Regardless of the truth of the matter between Madam Gu and Gu Nansheng, Madam Gu the Second and Madam Gu are at odds, and Madam Gu the Second wants to confirm that Madam Gu committed incest and murdered other women.

However, judging from the fact that Madam Gu let her and her maid leave, Madam Gu should not be the real culprit.

Since the maid knew the truth, Madam Gu would not let her live.

The maidservant froze, "But I'm just a servant..."

Before she could finish speaking, a series of hurried footsteps approached. She turned her head and saw several masked men walking towards them.

Gui Yao grabbed her and said, "Run!"

Sure enough, Madam Gu's act of letting them leave was just a pretense; she sent people to silence them.

The maid realized what was happening and ran away with Gui Yao.

Having spent a year in the Gu family, she rarely did heavy work, and her physical strength was no longer what it used to be. She couldn't outrun those men at all, and the person chasing her was getting closer and closer.

She replied to him, "You go first, they want to arrest me."

Gui Yao didn't let go. He pulled her into an alley, then wrapped his arm around her waist and carried her away from the pursuers with a few leaps.

The maid, panting heavily, stared at Gui Yao. "You're faking your blindness. Who are you?"

"The people who were sold to Jishengtang."

Gui Yao countered, "Do you have nowhere to go?"

She lacked willpower, so Guiyao couldn't take her to Xuanji Tower.

The maid shook her head. "I was sold by my parents. If I go home, they will sell me again."

That means I can't go home anymore; I can't just send them back to the Zhao family.

Gui Yao was a little troubled, remembering that she didn't know the maid's name. "What's your name?"

There has to be a name for it.

"Tian Xing'er".

"Surname Tian?"

Remembering Tian Guihua's words, Gui Yao asked, "Is Tian Guihua from Luanshi Village your aunt?"

Tian Xing'er was delighted. "You know my aunt?"

Gui Yao nodded. "I was sold by her."

"How is that possible?"

Tian Xing'er's smile froze. "Auntie is doing well."

Gui Yao smiled faintly, "Before your parents sold you, did you think they were good people? Now everyone in your village thinks you eloped with someone."

Tian Xing'er fell silent.

"sorry."

She apologized to Guiyao.

Although she still couldn't understand why Gui Yao, who seemed quite capable, had been sold out by her aunt.

Gui Yao waved her hand and led her into a private room in a teahouse. "Now tell me, what exactly happened between Madam Gu and Gu Nansheng?"
