After eavesdropping on my thoughts, my whole family changed their fate

After saying goodbye to Tong Qi and getting on the carriage, Jin Ruoyun kept looking at the Three Character Classic in Jin Yuanyuan's hand.

She was about to say something when Cheng Che spoke first.

"Yun'er, come with me to the study room later. I have something to discuss with you."

Jin Yuanyuan and Gu An pricked up their ears, and their gossip radars started ringing. Seeing Uncle Cheng's serious expression, they felt that something big was going to happen.

It’s a pity that they were too embarrassed to eavesdrop.

Returning to the general's mansion and on the way to the study, Jin Ruoyun instructed Dingxiang before entering the room.

"Go and hand over the evidence we collected about Gu Boqing's usury to the Dali Temple."

We cannot just take the blame for the bad things Gu Boqing did. Now is the time to settle the accounts.

Ding Xiang bowed and replied, "Yes, ma'am."

After instructing Ding Xiang, Jin Ruoyun and Cheng Che entered the study. As soon as the door was closed, Cheng Che stood there for a long while without moving or speaking.

Seeing him like this, Jin Ruoyun subconsciously became serious, thinking that something big had happened.

"What's wrong with you? What happened?"

But he was clearly fine when he went to the palace, so why was he like this when he came back?

Cheng Che's palms were sweating and he was a little afraid to look her in the eye.

He strolled back and forth in the study, hesitating for a long time, not knowing how to start the conversation safely.

Finally, he stopped at the corner of the study table, rolled up the rice paper with shy fingers, and nervously asked the question he had wanted to ask all the way.

"Does what you just said at the palace banquet still count?"

"What?" Jin Ruoyun was very puzzled. What did she say at the palace banquet?

It seemed that after dealing with Gu Boqing's matter, he had dinner and then went home. Nothing else happened.

Seeing that she had forgotten everything, Cheng Che looked hurt. He stopped being shy and asked directly.

"You! How can you be so heartless? Didn't you just tell Gu Boqing at the palace banquet that we were going to get married? Only two hours have passed, and you have forgotten everything?!"

He looked like a wronged young wife, just like a resentful woman who was abandoned by a heartless man.

Thinking of what he had said at the palace banquet, Jin Ruoyun burst out laughing.

"Haha, you're talking about this. I thought it was a matter of life and death. You looked so serious just now, as if our Jin family was the one facing the disaster. I was scared to death." She touched her chest to calm herself down.

"Hey, don't interrupt me, tell me whether it counts or not, don't tell me you want to be a heartless woman!"

Cheng Che became anxious when he didn't get the answer he wanted to hear. He was eager to hear it from her own mouth whether she was willing to marry him.

Jin Ruoyun had laughed enough and seriously held his hand with a firm and gentle look.

"I am willing, as long as I marry you."

In fact, the moment she heard that Gu Boqing would be beheaded, she did not feel the pleasure of revenge.

Instead, it was extremely peaceful and calm, without too many disturbances. Perhaps he had let go of everything, the past, and those ridiculous obsessions.

Before, she always hated him for not loving her and for treating her badly and hurting her.

But now, she has a son and a daughter, and a man who loves her so much and regards her as a treasure.

She had long since let go of the hatred in her heart and could love Cheng Che without reservation and give him all her love.

Hearing her definite answer, Cheng Che couldn't hold back any longer and kissed her...

Everything is harmonious and happy here, and the other half is in the Gu Mansion.

A large number of officers and soldiers began to confiscate Gu Boqing's property.

He doesn't seem to have much money, but he has a lot of hidden things.

When Zhao Lingzhou and Gu Xingruo got married, they gave a lot of dowry. Gu Boqing secretly kept some of it and hid it in the secret compartment of his room without telling anyone.

The general who came to confiscate the property had a very good relationship with Jin Chi. He showed no mercy and searched Gu Boqing's yard thoroughly, finding a lot of valuable things.

Gu Boqing was heartbroken when he saw this.

Old Mrs. Gu was chanting in the Buddhist temple when she was suddenly grabbed by a group of soldiers and taken to the front yard.

She was fighting with the officers and soldiers all the way and was very arrogant.

"How dare you! I am the mother of Lord Gu. Do you know who Gu Boqing is? He is an official! A high-ranking official! Let me go now!"

Gu Boqing covered his eyes in shame.

Seeing him, Old Lady Gu rushed over quickly, pointed at the noses of the group of officers and soldiers, and complained to Gu Boqing.

"Son, you're finally back. You should take care of them. Who are these people? How dare they treat my parents, who are officials appointed by the imperial court, like this? You should find a way to arrest them all. Quickly!"

Her son is back. Let's see how arrogant these people are. It would be better to put them all in jail and let them have a good life.

The general who was confiscating the property snorted coldly, "Old lady, what are you dreaming about in broad daylight! The emperor has issued an order to confiscate the Gu family property. All of you will be imprisoned and executed in the autumn. It is more reliable for you to complain to the King of Hell than to your son."

The brothers behind him laughed loudly, mocking them for overestimating their own abilities and talking big when they could barely protect themselves.

Old Mrs. Gu didn't believe what he said at all and turned to look at Gu Boqing.

"Son, who are these people? What they said is not true. Why don't you say something? How could the emperor confiscate your property when he appreciates you so much?"

"Bah! You like your grandma's legs! Gu Boqing cheated in the spring imperial examination and replaced someone else's place, just to get the position of Tanhua Lang. He still wants to be appreciated by the emperor? Hahahaha! How ridiculous!"

Sang Xiaowan was caught by the officers and soldiers, who laughed at them for overestimating their own capabilities.

Gu Boqing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked up at her.

"How do you know that I was confiscated because I cheated in the Spring Examination?!"

"Could it be... Could it be that you are the one behind this?!"

Sang Xiaowan had been imprisoned. He had ordered his servants not to visit her and give her food. She had no connections, so how would they know about the house search so quickly, unless this matter was related to her.

He was filled with rage and rushed to her, grabbed her clothes, shook her hard, and slapped her already festering face.

"Tell me! Was it you, Tong Qi, who planned this?"

Sang Xiaowan was no longer like before, allowing him to beat her without resisting.

In her hand she had been clutching a piece of wood which she had taken from the stool in the room where she was locked up.

If Tong Qi failed, she would die with him using a wooden stick.

I didn't expect Tong Qi to be so competitive that he really killed him.

As soon as Gu Boqing approached, she inserted the wood into his abdomen without hesitation and stirred it back and forth, with a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"That's right! It was me who guided him to come to Kyoto and complain to Jin Ruoyun. So what if you know it now? It's too late. Everyone in the Gu family will be buried with me. Hahahahahahaha!"

Gu Boqing covered his stomach which was bleeding continuously, with a puzzled look on his face.

"You! Why? What good will it do you if I lose? You are my concubine, and you still have Xing Cheng. Do you want your son to die with us?"
