Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

"Who?"

"A person Princess Chengle cared about deeply."

Madam Gu looked at Gui Yao, "You saw it during the day too, that devil really wants me."

He knew I couldn't bear to see innocent women suffer, so he would eventually offer himself up.

But every time I was tormented by the poison, I was unable to stop him from harming other women in time.

Looking back now, it was Chengle who did it on purpose. Firstly, she hated me and felt that I had bewitched the master, causing him to marry me against her wishes.

After the marriage, my second brother harassed me, causing a rift between the brothers. Chengle felt that I had instigated it.

If the old man hadn't made her swear an oath before he died not to kill me, I would be dead long ago.

Although she spared my life, she considered me a troublemaker and wanted to keep a close watch on me for her eldest son's sake. She would punish me even if I spoke a single word to a male servant.

Madam Gu sneered, "But she let me have my way with that devil, so I think she couldn't win against that devil."

Only when you care deeply will you feel helpless.

But Cheng Le was certainly unwilling to accept this, so he drugged her, making her suffer terribly.

"Secondly, she wanted other women to conceive demonic offspring."

If she hadn't been drugged, she would have been in the devil's room long ago, and the devil wouldn't have touched other women.

Gui Yao understood Madam Gu's analysis and nodded. "Who is the person Princess Chengle cares about so much?"

"Her children and grandchildren."

Gui Yao frowned. "Cheng Le only had two sons, both of whom are now dead. His grandsons, besides Nan Sheng, are the second madam's son. How old is he?"

"Gu Beisheng is nineteen years old this year, the same age as Nan Sheng. Over the years, he has been taken in and taught by Cheng Le."

"But there's one more condition: the fake Gu Nansheng has an emotional entanglement with the madam."

Gui Yao said, "Gu Beisheng is about the same age as your son, and he has feelings for Madam..."

There would never be romantic feelings between them.

"I have no idea."

Having endured years of hardship, Madam Gu had developed a calm and composed demeanor, but deep down she was in a very difficult situation.

She clenched her fingers. "But I know Gu Beisheng hates me. He is influenced by the Second Madam and thinks that it is my fault that the Second Master doesn't care about his wife and children. He once said that he would make me wish I were dead and beg for mercy on my knees."

Those days and nights were truly a living hell for her, and she did indeed kneel down and beg that devil for the sake of other women.

Madam Gu closed her eyes, trying hard not to recall those embarrassing past events.

Gui Yao's gaze fell on her face.

Even though she is nearly forty, she is still beautiful. Perhaps it is because she comes from a scholarly family. Even after all the hardships she has endured over the years, she still has a quiet, scholarly air about her.

Gui Yao tried to see Madam Gu from a man's perspective; she was indeed a very attractive beauty.

Madam Gu noticed Gui Yao's scrutiny, gave a wry smile, and said, "Cheng Le is a princess, and her father-in-law has never dared to interfere with her."

I've heard that she had an ambiguous relationship with Luo Xuanshu, and that she often traveled outside the capital, accompanied by handsome men. Perhaps she has other children.

This is indeed an important clue.

Gui Yao withdrew his gaze. "I will investigate the people Cheng Le cares about. Madam, please take care. Also, the parade will not happen. Madam, please rest assured."

She took Gu Nansheng and left the Gu residence, returning to the entrance of Xuanji Tower.

"Owner!"

The bald egg spread its wings and blocked the doorway. "You want to waste your spiritual energy to bring people in again?"

He is unconscious.

Gui Yao glanced at Gu Nansheng, "I suspect he's under a spell. I want to try if Xuanji Tower can bring him back to his senses."

The Xuanji Tower can block all evil magic; conversely, any evil magic will be ineffective in the Xuanji Tower.

This is something she has verified countless times over the past three years.

"But it also consumes spiritual energy."

Mao Dan muttered to himself, "Before, I would save up my spiritual energy bit by bit, but now that I'm in this crappy capital, the few jobs I've taken out are all not enough to make ends meet."

The collected wishes have all been transformed into spiritual power. When will the master's soul be able to be repaired?

"Alright, move aside."

Gui Yao bounced the person in her arms, "This one is so big, it's tiring for me to carry."

Knowing that its master was strong, Mao Dan still stepped aside, rolled its eyes, and followed behind Gui Yao.

When Chen Can saw Gu Nansheng, he instinctively covered his head and shrank behind Tian Xing'er. Two years had passed, but seeing that face still frightened him.

Gui Yao placed the person on the couch and said to her, "We guessed right, the one who did evil was a fake."

She told the two of them everything she had seen and heard at the Gu residence.

"The lady must have done that because she didn't want to be humiliated."

Tian Xing'er was very worried when she learned that Madam Gu was contemplating suicide.

"She's really pitiful and kind."

The fritter flew to her shoulder and said, "You decided to die, but you still secretly left me some money to settle your remaining years."

Cheng Le and Madam Gu the Second, no, and all the men in the Gu family are no good. They will definitely not let Madam Gu die a good death.

She was clearly saving lives, yet she's met with public scorn and will be stigmatized even after death. Perhaps once my master leaves, she'll suffer further torment. Alas!

"Miss Guiyao, please, please save my lady."

Tian Xing'er was already grateful to Madam Gu, and after hearing this, her willpower surged forth.

Gui Yao glanced at Mao Dan, then looked at Tian Xing'er, "Okay."

As their eyes met, the two formed a pact.

"I don't know when Gu Nansheng will wake up. Xing'er, you will take care of him."

Xing'er had previously interacted with Gu Nansheng at the Gu residence and knew that he was not the one who had humiliated her, so she readily agreed.

"Don't worry, young lady, I will take good care of the young master."

If he is not a demon, then he is simply the lady's son.

Seeing that Chen Can was scared, Gui Yao asked, "Shall I take you home?"

Chen Can shook his head. "I want to stay until this is all over."

Gui Yao didn't try to dissuade her. After eating something, she went out. She needed to find out about Master Gu's birthday and ask the City God if he was really dead.

No, we need to verify all the men in the Gu family who died.

Mao Dan followed closely behind out of Xuanji Tower, heading in the direction of the Zhao family.

After learning that Gui Yao had exhausted his spiritual power and needed more willpower, Zhao Mingyue summoned Sui'er.

Unexpectedly, Grandma Sui'er came along too.

Zhao Mingyue hired a doctor for her, and she felt much better. She came to thank Zhao Mingyue.

"Old man, you don't need to be so polite. I was just doing this on someone else's behalf."

She asked Gui Yao to take care of her and her grandson, and also told her about Madam Gu.

"Miss Guiyao believes that Madam Gu shouldn't have died and wants to save her. I called Sui'er here today to ask if you would be willing to lend a hand?"

She smiled gently. "Of course, it's understandable if you're afraid; no one is forcing you."

"No."

Grandma Sui'er said, "Miss Guiyao and Madam Gu have both been kind to our family, and we should repay them."

Her granddaughter told her that she had actually died, but Guiyao brought her soul back, which is how she came back to life.

Without Madam Gu, her granddaughter would have died long ago in the Gu family. If they didn't repay such a great kindness, they wouldn't deserve to be human.

Boss Zhao would also look down on them.

Sui'er can no longer return to Luanshi Village. How long can her old body stay with Sui'er? Boss Zhao is kind, and she hopes that Sui'er can stay in the Zhao family in the future.

Whether out of gratitude or personal motives, they should have saved Madam Gu.

Grandma Sui looked at Zhao Mingyue, "Benefactor, tell us what to do, and we will do it."

"I do."

Sui'er also said.

Mao Dan breathed a sigh of relief, leaving the rest to Zhao Mingyue, and flew back to Prince Jin's residence.

If Your Highness tries hard, he might be able to find a few more sworn brothers.

Guiyao was unaware that the birds had been working tirelessly for her. She emerged from the City God Temple, still somewhat bewildered.

Back at Xuanji Tower, Xing'er said, "Miss Guiyao, my young master has woken up, he's fully awake..."

Mao Dan entered the room shortly after, somewhat dazed. He was awake, but wondered, "What does 'fully awake' mean?"

Xing'er wiped her eyes. "He's not stupid anymore, he's completely healed. He has something to say to you, Miss."
