Gu Youyou sighed and said, "Such deep water, everyone thought he died in the dungeon, but unexpectedly he’s tough enough to live till now."
Miss Du didn’t ask what mistake Gu Wu made that turned his family against him, she only asked, "So, are you planning to have him killed?"
"No!" Gu Youyou shook her head and said, "He’s now being used by the Zhang Family, he’s no longer just a simple death row convict. The Zhang Family probably can’t wait for to kill him to silence him, and when that happens, it would be impossible to explain even with ten mouths. That old fox, Pri Minister Zhang, seems unimpressive but is even harder to deal with than Jin Shien."
Miss Du thought for a mont, lightly nodded, and said, "In the Ducal Residence case, he managed to erge the cleanest. Back in those days, the Ducal Residence’s influence was at its peak, who didn’t know that the Zhang Family was the closest with the Ducal Residence? But after the Ducal Residence fell, the ladies of his family were the first to commit suicide."
Miss Du said coldly, "It’s said that each of those won had a white silk and committed suicide collectively in the Zhang Family’s courtyard."
Whether they were willing or were forced is hard to say.
Cunning, ruthless enough, otherwise the Zhang Family wouldn’t still appear so glamorous among the officials after all these events.
The Emperor orchestrated Beijing’s upheaval a few months ago, such a formidable person must know the kind of person Pri Minister Zhang is. It’s just a mystery why he hasn’t acted against him.
"Then what do you plan to do?" Miss Du asked worriedly, "Did you ntion it to Prince Ning? Shouldn’t we let Prince Ning handle this? The Imperial Family has nurous ways to suppress rumors."
"No need!" Gu Youyou said, "Zijin isn’t at the residence, he went to the south."
"Ah...? At this critical mont, what will you do?"
Gu Youyou sneered, "Returning the favor in the sa way, dealing with them, I’m enough!"
Growing up amidst various sches and plots, what hasn’t she seen? As such, she found the situation sowhat exciting.
"Sorry to trouble you for coming so late to tell this, but don’t worry about it, I’m clear about it." She looked at Miss Du’s belly and said, "Let check your peace pulse, if everything is fine, I’ll have soone send you back."
Miss Du generously extended her hand and said, "No need for you to send , Zhonglin will co to fetch ."
"Hmm?"
"When you returned, my servant went back to inform Zhonglin. He should be arriving soon!"
To deal with Gu Wu and the Zhang Family doesn’t require Xuyao’s help from Miss Du; regarding matchmaking, she’s quite helpless.
Gu Youyou felt a bit embarrassed and laughed, "I still need you to oversee the matter regarding my cousin, my grandmother has been bothering about it all day, probably because of this. Took to a theatre, alas, I simply don’t understand it, nor like it, but couldn’t let her waste a good show!"
"Should I inquire at the Tao Family?"
Though Miss Du thought it might be too abrupt to inquire so soon, since Gu Youyou asked for help, she ultimately didn’t say much more, thought for a mont, and agreed.
"Alright, I’ll inquire about this matter as soon as possible!"
After speaking, she suddenly added, "Is Master Lin okay with this? Shouldn’t go asking the Tao Family willing, anwhile Master Lin is unwilling."
Gu Youyou thought for a while, Lin Shenxing seed not quite satisfied but didn’t object either.
