The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

"Ah!! Changcun's father, who killed you?!" Gu was wondering why Uncle Gu got up so early today when she saw this scene in the main hall.

She just felt like the sky was falling.

Gu Laoyao ran in angrily and asked, "Mom, my sister and brother are missing. Did they go out to eat something delicious without me?"

"Brother is partial to me, mother. When brother and sister come back, you have to beat them up and ask brother to buy me food to make amends."

Gu always doted on his youngest son.

Seeing that he didn't care about his dead father and was only thinking about eating, I raised my hand and slapped him.

Snapped!

"Eat, eat, eat. All you know is eating. Your father is dead. From now on, we can't afford to eat wild vegetables. Let them all go with the northwest wind!"

"Wow!!"

Gu Laoyao burst into tears, and the neighbors came to watch, and some even went to report the case to the police.

The coroner shook his head after performing the autopsy.

"Did you see the lamp by the wall? He was hit on the head and died from excessive blood loss. It's a pity that if he had called a doctor at that time, he would not have died."

Gu cried so much that her face was covered with tears and snot.

"Sir, please find the real murderer. Without my man, our whole family can't survive."

There were a lot of people gathered outside, and they all knew the origins of their family.

He sneered when he heard that.

"It's retribution. Your family wanted to kill your own brother's family and seize their property. Now you are being killed. This is retribution from God."

"Besides, your family is so poor, who would come to your house to steal things?"

"If you don't steal things, you can steal people."

"Their little daughter is so fair and tender, and she is so pretty. Maybe some beggar would steal her away in the middle of the night."

Everyone was guessing, and suddenly someone said something.

"Is Gu Changcun not at home? How could he have let his own father be smashed to death at home at night?"

"I saw him come back before dark last night."

"I was half asleep, and I seemed to hear the father and son arguing. Could it be that Gu Changcun wanted to sell his sister for money, but his father disagreed?"

"When the son went crazy, he accidentally killed his own father and ran away with his sister, right?"

"Oh, you know what, this is really possible!"

"They quarrel every day. Gu Changcun can't find a job and can't make money. His father despises him for eating for free. It's normal for them to fight when they quarrel."

The more they talked, the more they felt that this was the case.

It just so happened that Gu Changcun and the youngest daughter of the Gu family were not at home. Even Gu, the biological mother, had such a guess. Her face became paler than before and she was very anxious.

In the crowd, Wu Liang, who had pretended to be dressed up, quietly stepped out and left quickly.

Entered the nearest restaurant box.

"Master, do you want me to arrest Gu Changcun and throw him into jail?" Wu Liang said to Pei Qinyu, who was standing by the window with his back to him.

Pei Qinyu nodded: "Go ahead."

At night, someone found Gu Changcun, who had been missing for a whole day, at the gate of the yamen.

"Master Qingtian, you have arrested the wrong person. My son did not kill his father."

"Go arrest the real murderer, don't arrest my son! My son is a scholar, and he will take the imperial examination to become an official in the future!"

Gu didn't even care where her daughter went. She was only thinking about getting her scholar son Gu Changcun out.

Lord Guan frowned and said in a cold voice.

"The evidence is irrefutable. Gu Changcun himself has confessed to the crime. He accidentally killed his own father. Patricide is a serious crime and he should be executed according to the law."

"No matter how much you try to argue, it's useless."

"Come here, strip Gu Changcun of his title of scholar, and put him in jail to await execution in the autumn."

Gu couldn't bear the blow and fainted on the spot in the court.

Gu Laoya threw himself on her and cried, "Mom, mom, wake up, I haven't eaten yet, I'm so hungry."

Everyone present looked at him strangely.

They all shook their heads. The child was six or seven years old, his father was dead, his sister was missing, his eldest brother was going to be executed in the autumn, and his mother fainted on the ground.

He only thought about being hungry and needing to eat.

This family is truly bad from the very beginning and is completely hopeless.

Gu Changcun was in jail, and when Gu Yunyan got the news, how could she not go to see him?

Mrs. Gu disagreed: "Why go see him? It's unlucky."

The prison environment is not good either, it’s damp and dark, and there are a lot of snakes, rats, insects and ants. How can my spoiled daughter bear it?

Don't be frightened and get sick.

"Mom, I just have something else I want to ask him." Gu Yunyan pouted, "I'll feel anxious if I don't ask him clearly."

"What do you have to ask clearly? It's the same if you ask your father to ask."

Mrs. Gu was a little curious. Her daughter had always been unable to hide things. What could it be that she could keep a secret so well?

She and the master didn't even notice!

"I was just wondering if the fact that he fell into the sea and was assassinated by criminals on the official road when he came back might have something to do with them."

"Why else would a maid want to harm me for no reason?"

Gu Yunyan naturally had to expose these things, in case Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu were kind-hearted and took pity on the mother and son and gave them money and other help.

Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu were shocked: "You, you said these two things are related to Gu Changcun?!"

They thought that it was bad enough to tamper with their daughter's marriage and join forces with outsiders to seize the property.

After all, they are blood relatives, so why would they kill each other?

Gu Yunyan walked out: "Just go and ask and you'll know."

"Yan'er, wait a minute. Dad will go with you." Master Gu strode after her.

In the prison, Gu Changcun was lying on a tattered straw mat, staring at the dark roof above his head with a gloomy face.

He couldn't understand why he had fallen to this point.

A few months ago, he was still a scholar with a bright future and a student of Hengshan Academy, but he would never be able to pass the imperial examinations.

Then you can also inherit your second uncle's property and become a rich man.

When did it start to change?

By the way, everything has been different since Gu Yunyan came back to life.

Gu Yunyan snorted, "I'm really sorry that I couldn't die in the sea as you wished, cousin."

Gu Changcun seemed to be resurrecting from the dead.

He was on the verge of death just now, but now, hearing the voice of the person he hated to the core, he jumped up with hatred in his eyes.

"Why did you come back? Wouldn't it be better for you to die in the sea?"

"You are so lucky. You didn't die even after being drugged so many times and fell into the sea. The assassin I hired couldn't kill you either."

"You just had to come back to ruin my plan."

"As long as you die, my second uncle's property will be mine. I will continue to study at Hengshan Academy, pass the imperial examination, and become a Jinshi."

"In the future, marry a high-ranking official as your principal wife, and you will rise to the top of the world."

There was a crazy and dreamy expression on his face. At first he was talking to Gu Yunyan, but then he started talking to himself.

"Gu Changcun!! You are an ungrateful wolf, worse than a beast!"

A loud shout awakened Gu Changcun who was immersed in his own world. His face changed drastically. What happened to him just now? !

How can you say everything you think in your heart?

Looking at the furious, dark-faced, and cold Master Gu outside, he hurriedly explained: "Second Uncle, you heard it wrong. I didn't do those things."

"Uncle, I grew up beside you. You should know what kind of person your nephew is."

"I will have to support my cousin in the future."

"Uncle, you have a good relationship with Lord Guan, please go and plead with Lord Guan to let me go. I really didn't kill dad. It was a beggar who broke in and tried to steal my little sister away."

"My father got into an argument with someone and was hit to death. I went out to chase him and try to get my little sister back. I didn't know my father would die."

"If I had known this would happen, I would never have chased you out."

Gu Changcun spoke sincerely, with tears of regret in his eyes, and there was no sign that he was lying.

----

Mr. Gu was very disappointed.

The look in Gu Changcun's eyes was unfamiliar. Today, he realized for the first time what kind of person his nephew, whom he had always placed high hopes on and was so proud of, was.

He tells lies without blinking and never tells the truth.

"It's a fact that you killed your father. I can't possibly beg Lord Guan for a heartless person like you." He rejected this unreasonable and shameless request.

He turned to look at his daughter and said in a gentle voice, "Yan'er, let's go home."

Instead of wasting time here, I should go back and accompany my wife. She is due to give birth in three or two months, and I don’t know whether it will be a boy or a girl.

He walked out of the prison and blatantly gave silver to the jailer.

"Please take good care of my nephew." Mr. Gu glanced at the cell meaningfully, emphasizing the words "take good care of".

The jailer understood immediately.

He smiled and put the silver in his arms, squinting his eyes and nodding: "Master Gu, don't worry, I will definitely give him 'special care'."

Just as he finished speaking, Gu Yunyan came out of the prison.

"Why are you coming out now?" Master Gu said to himself, "Let's go quickly. It's a good opportunity to buy some of your mother's favorite food."

"She has a changing taste now, and recently she likes spicy food."

"I got it, Dad. We'll go back right after we finish shopping, otherwise Mom will be waiting anxiously." Gu Yunyan smiled. How could she guess it now?

Naturally, he told Gu Changcun a little secret in there and gave him some good food.

He waited peacefully in prison for three months before being executed in the autumn.

It was too easy for him to die quickly, as his original body had suffocated to death in the sea.

Mr. Gu saw it in just a few months.

His daughter had become so well-behaved. He felt sad. It was all his fault that he didn't find out the wolfish ambitions of his eldest brother and his family earlier, which almost killed his daughter.

This time he was not in a hurry and looked slowly. He thought he would find a satisfactory son-in-law within a year.

Let their daughter stay at home and accompany them for the rest of their lives.

Not long after they left, someone came to give the jailer some money, asking him to take good care of Changcun.

"I have died once. I escaped from Hades to seek revenge, my dear cousin."

"Come down and accompany me."

"The sea water is so cold, so salty and so cold, I am about to burst my stomach from drinking so much. My dear cousin, are you coming down to keep me company?"

Gu Yunyan was dressed in red, her body was swollen and her belly was huge.

His face was dark and blue, with the corners of his mouth raised and a strange smile on his face. He stretched out his hand and floated on the bow, standing in front of Gu Changcun.

The blue, cold hand touched his neck in a blink.

His face flushed red, and he struggled with his hands to pry open the iron-like hand on his neck, but he failed and grabbed nothing.

In the dark night, on the endless sea, he was the only one on the boat.

He burst into tears.

"Cousin, please let me go. I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. In a few months, I will go down to accompany you. Can you wait a little longer?"

call!

Gu Yunyan suddenly came closer and said coldly, "No."

As she spoke, she tightened her fingers.

"Ah! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!" Gu Changcun suddenly screamed loudly, waking up the bearded man in the same cell with him.

He rushed forward with an angry face and punched Gu Changcun.

The beating woke him up from his dream, but before he could feel lucky that it was just a dream, he fainted again from the pain.

The prison boss was awakened by his screams and just frowned at the bearded man: "Don't beat him to death."

He said this.

He took out two balls of cotton and stuffed them into his ears, then lay down, turned over and continued to sleep.

Gu Changcun understood instantly that it must have been his second uncle and Gu Yunyan who did it. They bribed the prison boss to beat him on purpose.

Only after they left did the bearded man move into the same cell with him.

His nose was broken and his nose and mouth were full of blood, while the strong black man on top of him continued to beat him.

From that day on, he had nightmares every night, was beaten by the bearded man, ate stale rice and drank cold water.

Even though both of his legs were broken, the prison boss didn't care about him.

......

Just as Gu Yunyan thought, Gu actually brought the little cousin to the Gu family to ask Mr. Gu for shelter.

"Second brother, my sister-in-law can't survive anymore. Please help us."

"Your sister-in-law didn't know what your eldest brother and his nephews and nieces did. Now they are all suffering the consequences, some dead and some scattered. Only my youngest son and I are left alone, helpless and starving to death on the streets."

"Second brother, have you forgotten how good your eldest sister-in-law was to you when she first married your eldest brother?"

"The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Your parents-in-law passed away early, and it was your eldest sister-in-law who washed your clothes and cooked for you every day, took care of your eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, made new clothes for you, and mended your old clothes."

“Have you really forgotten these?”

More and more people gathered at the door, pointing and talking about the Gu family.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the doorman quickly sent someone in to ask Mr. Gu to come out.

After a while, Mr. Gu appeared at the gate with Gu Yunyan, and Gu cried even harder.

He knelt at the gate and pushed Gu Laoya in his arms over.

"Second brother, look at your only nephew. He is the only bloodline left by your eldest brother. Look how skinny he is."

"You can ignore me, but you can't ignore the youngest. He is the only male in your Gu family, and you don't have a son, so you can adopt the youngest to you and your sister-in-law and raise him as your own son."

"He will support your daughter in the future, wear mourning clothes for you and your siblings, and carry on your family line."

As she spoke, she winked at her son and reached out to pinch his back hard.

Gu Laoyao cried and ran towards Master Gu who opened his arms, saying: "Second Uncle, I will be obedient in the future."

"When I grow up, I will definitely support my sister and won't let my brother-in-law bully her. I will also be filial to you and Second Aunt and take care of you until the end of your life."

Some of the onlookers couldn't bear it.

"He is just a child, only a few years old. If he has a bad temper, he can change it after proper education."

"You can't just watch your eldest brother's only son starve to death."

"The ones who did the bad thing were Mr. Gu's eldest brother and his nephew and niece. Now one of them is dead, one is missing, and the other is in jail and will die soon."

"The grudges are settled. What does it have to do with a little kid?"

"If you don't help, Master Gu is too cruel. I heard that Madam Gu is pregnant again. Master Gu has a big family and a lot of wealth, so just do good deeds for the unborn child."

"Maybe God saw in his kindness that Mrs. Gu gave birth to a son this time."

There was a glimmer of pride in Gu's eyes.

With so many people on her side, the second brother had no choice but to take them all in and raise them in the Gu family.

Humph, as long as she returns to the Gu family.

Master Gu lowered his head.

Seeing that his nephew, who used to be fair, tender, cute and chubby, was now dark and thin, he and his wife had considered adopting him.

So they were especially nice to him, and he was very close to them and his wife.

Just as those people said, it was the eldest brother, Gu Changcun and Gu Lamei who harmed them, and it had nothing to do with the little nephew.

There was a gleam of hesitation in his eyes.
