Old Madam Gu's stance was as clear as the sky over their heads.
Though she did sympathize with Gu Mu and her tragic death, Old Madam Gu had always been a woman who cared about the benefits of her family over everything else. Thus, she could see Kong Tai's guilty conscience much more clearly than Gu Zedong who had her eyes covered with rose-tinted glasses.
The second Kong Tai refused to accept Lin Jing's suggestion, Old Madam Gu knew that there was sothing wrong with the matter. After all, with how much Kong Tai loved Gu Mu, he should have been the one bringing up Yan and a thorough investigation but he didn't in fact he even stopped Lin Jing and tried to play her daughter like a fool.
There was sothing very fishy!
Kong Tai on the other hand was a shivering ss. He knew that he was in a big trouble. If she were to find out that Gu Mu had threatened Gu Ke Jin or their family, then Old Madam Gu would never let him off.
She might even wipe Gu Mu's na off the Gu hierarchy tree!
"O…Old Madam, it's like…." Kong Tai shivered while looking at the ground. He looked pitiful and vulnerable causing Gu Zedong to feel sorry for her husband, she turned to look at Old Madam Gu and stood up for Kong Tai, "Mother, can we discuss this matter after Mu Mu is buried? This is not the ti to investigate such a thing!"
"Shut up, you foolish girl!" Old Madam Gu snapped at her daughter. If not for the fact that her hands and legs were not that agile, she would have slapped her eldest daughter. "This is a matter of grave importance! Can you not open your eyes and see that soone dared to kill your daughter and even hung her corpse in our house without getting caught!?
If your eyes are covered with lard then donate them!"
"Soone dared to do such a thing, it only ans that they have a lot of power and connections. If your daughter offended such a person, do you think that our family will be at peace? We will be in grave danger!"
Gu Zedong was stunned. She never expected the matter to be so deep. She thought that since her daughter was killed it was her and her husband who were the victims but now it turned out that this act of killing Gu Mu was a sort of revenge.
She turned to look at Kong Tai who was trembling from head to foot. Even if she was a fool, Gu Zedong could see that there was sothing amiss, she said to Kong Tai, "Tai Tai, just speak the truth. I am with you… no matter what we go through these things together."
Though Kong Tai was a sly r, he had a weakness. And that weakness was none other than his wife, as long as she looked at him and softly spoke, Kong Tai would be willing to trust her.
Thus when Gu Zedong said that she was going to face this matter with him, he was willing to speak.
He nodded and then turned to look at Old Madam Gu whose sharp eyes were staring at him.
Kong Tai shrunk his shoulders as he lowered his head. He knew that even if he wanted to escape, he wouldn't be able to get out of this ss. Even if he were to pretend to be unconscious, his mother-in-law would just call the head of the Investigation departnt to investigate the matter.
If the truth ca out like that, then…then what would happen to his daughter?
"I…I didn't know much about her plan, mother-in-law. I just… Gu Mu just told
that she was planning sothing to do with the husbands of Miss Yu," Kong Tai finally confessed causing Old Madam Gu who was sitting on the chair of the family head to stand up and look at him as if she was going to eat him up.
"Which Miss Yu?" Though Old Madam Gu had an idea, she couldn't believe that Kong Tai and Gu Mu would be this daring. They actually did sothing so daring!
Kong Tai shivered under the harsh voice of Old Madam Gu. He bit his bottom lip before lowering his head even further as he answered, "The owner of the Big River Village."
"You bastard!" When Lin Jing heard that Kong Tai and Gu Mu once again targeted Yu Dong and that too her husbands despite knowing how much Yu Dong cared for her husbands.

Wasn't this a blatant disregard for his daughter and her life? Gu Ke Jin was working under Yu Dong if Gu Mu did sothing to her husbands then as Gu Mu's sister, Gu Ke Jin would have to suffer as well!
Despite knowing this, Kong Tai and Gu Mu dared to go against Yu Dong!
Lin Jing rushed towards Kong Tai and started to hit him.
"You beast! What have I done to you? First, you ruined my r son because of your daughter and now you want to ruin my daughter as well!" Lin Jing slapped Kong Tai wishing he could kill him and bury him along with his daughter.
Tried to harm Yu Dong's husbands? His daughter had told him that Yu Dong would let it slide once if soone attacked her but if soone dared to harm her husbands, she would retaliate ten tis. What would happen to his daughter now? She would be dragged down by this so-called leech!
"Lin Jing enough!" Even though Gu Zedong could see that the one who was at fault was her husband, she couldn't watch Lin Jing beat Kong Tai to death. Not when he was in so much pain as well.
However what she didn't expect was that the second she stepped in the fray, Lin Jing raised his hand and slapped her as well.
Gasp!
