The Seventh Prince's Mansion.

Lord Gu directly pulled Yunhua to the main hall and made him kneel, then he saluted respectfully to the Seventh Prince.

There was no expression on Chu Fei's face. He just calmly picked up the teacup, blew away the foam on the tea, and then asked Feng Zhao to bring him a cloak to put on. He looked particularly weak.

"Seventh Prince, please help me." Lord Gu had completely lost his domineering demeanor in the Marquis' Mansion. "This maid actually dared to murder my son and cut off his vitals. She wanted to make my Gu family extinct."

Chu Fei remained unmoved upon hearing this. He just gave a look to Feng Zhao beside him, and Feng Zhao immediately understood what he meant.

"What happened to cut off the prince's roots?" Feng Zhao asked.

Lord Gu naturally did not dare to answer this truthfully.

Before coming back, Gu Baizhou had already woken up, so he hurried to find out the cause of the incident.

Only then did he realize that it was Gu Baizhou who wanted to rape Yu Wangfei but was discovered by Yun Hua, who then took direct action to cut off his roots. How could he explain this to the Seventh Prince?

After all, Yu Wangfei is pregnant with the Seventh Prince's child. If the Seventh Prince knew that the Gu family wanted to defile his bloodline, it would not just be a matter of cutting off Gu Baizhou's roots.

"Yunhua, you speak." Seeing that Lord Gu was unmoved, Feng Zhao let Yunhua speak.

But Lord Gu was not willing to give Yunhua a chance to speak: "Just because of a little quarrel, this maid wants to make our Gu family extinct."

Chu Fei was a little dissatisfied after hearing this. He put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Ahem, Feng Zhao just said to let Yunhua speak. Is the Marquis confused?"

"The prince and his wife had an argument. In order to protect his wife, I drove the prince out and accidentally cut off the thing." Yun Hua did not dare to tell the truth in front of Chu Fei.

After all, Chu Yuheng was not there, and she was also worried that the Seventh Prince and Chu Yuheng would not get along, which would lead to conflicts.

Seeing that Yunhua had no intention of telling the truth, Lord Gu finally felt relieved. He thought that Yunhua was unwilling to say it because she didn't want the Seventh Prince to know that Yu Wangfei had been defiled.

"Did you bully Yu Wangfei?" Chu Fei asked.

"I dare not." Lord Gu immediately expressed his loyalty, "The Cheng'en Marquisate will never dare to bully the Yu family."

"Didn't you hear what Yunhua said just now? Don't you want your ears anymore?" Feng Zhao glared at him.

Suddenly Lord Gu realized that the Seventh Prince wanted to protect Yunhua.

Why can't a maid be punished for making a mistake, but his entire Gu family will be wiped out just because his son made a small mistake?

"If the child makes a mistake, I will teach him a lesson. But this maidservant has cut off the child's roots and exterminated the Gu family. Will the Seventh Prince let her go just like that?" Marquis Gu asked firmly, but he did not dare to say directly that it was the Seventh Prince who protected him.

After all, the future of Cheng'en Marquisate still depends on the Seventh Prince.

Although Gu Baizhou is disabled, they still have Gu Baili in the family. Their family can adopt his child under the name of the eldest wife and continue the Gu family line.

"Yunhua is guilty, but his crime is not punishable by death." The Seventh Prince waved his hand and asked the servants to carry a box. "This is five hundred taels of silver. I know the situation of your mansion. I believe this money is enough for the mansion to tide over the difficulties."

The moment Lord Gu saw the money, his eyes lit up. What their Gu family lacked most at the moment was money.

"Is this enough?" The Seventh Prince pulled his cloak together and asked deliberately.

Lord Gu understood what he meant and quickly knelt down to thank him: "This old minister understands."

"I understand. You can leave now." The Seventh Prince closed his eyes tiredly. "Yunhua should continue to take care of Yu."

"Yes." Yunhua accepted the order.

After everyone left, the Seventh Prince took off his cloak and collapsed directly into Feng Zhao's arms, staring at him in annoyance: "It's so hot, what on earth is Ninth Prince doing?"

Yesterday, when he was being intimate with Feng Zhao, Chu Yuheng suddenly climbed in through the window, scaring him so much that he almost became like Gu Baizhou.

Then Chu Yuheng gave him another box of silver and asked him to deal with the matter today. He had no choice but to agree.

If Chu Yuheng hadn't got the evidence on him and Feng Zhao, he wouldn't have worked wholeheartedly for Chu Yuheng.

"Your Highness, our plan still requires the Ninth Prince."

The implication is that you cannot have conflicts with Chu Yuheng.

After getting the money, Lord Gu didn't want to pay any attention to Yunhua at all. He just threw her on the street and let her go back by herself.

This also gave Chu Yuheng an opportunity. He appeared directly in front of Yunhua and called her into the theater.

After entering the theater and seeing the brand new decoration, Chu Yuheng couldn't help but frown. It seemed that Yu Wangfei had come to the theater while he was away and even changed the style.

Seeing Chu Yuheng's expression, Yunhua immediately explained: "It was because some time ago, the two brothers Gu Baili and Gu Baizhou thought that the theater was a place of prostitution and came to cause trouble, so the lady took down those costumes and replaced them with other styles."

So that's how it is. Is there really something wrong with his Persian style?

But Chu Yuheng couldn't care about all this now, he wanted to hear the truth from Yunhua.

He didn't believe that Gu Baizhou's life was cut off because of the quarrel between him and Yu Wangfei. There must be another reason.

"Tell me, what is the truth?" Chu Yuheng asked directly.

"Your Highness." Yun Hua knelt down respectfully, "It was Gu Baizhou who wanted to rape Madam, so I cut off his roots."

"How dare you!" Chu Yuheng couldn't control his anger and crushed the cup in his hand.

He actually took advantage of his absence from the capital to touch his woman. He was simply courting death.

"I know I was wrong. Please punish me, Your Highness." Yunhua took the initiative to ask for punishment.

The Marquis' Mansion is extremely short of money now, but Chu Yuheng actually gave Lord Gu five hundred taels of silver to save her life. She is not worth it at all.

"What have you done wrong?" Chu Yuheng stood up, "Protect Yu Wangfei well."

After saying that, he turned and walked out. The large army was about to arrive in the capital, and he needed to meet up with them as soon as possible. The day he returned to the capital would be the day of Gu Baizhou's death.

Yu Wangfei stood in front of Fangfei Garden and looked in the direction of the mansion gate. Although she believed that Chu Yuheng would arrange everything properly, she was still worried that Yunhua would be bullied.

She didn't feel relieved until she saw Yunhua.

"Are you injured? Did the Seventh Prince punish you?" Yu Wangfei asked nervously.

"No." Yunhua quickly showed Yu Wangfei, "It was the prince. The prince took out five hundred taels of silver to save me."

In fact, Yu Wangfei guessed that Chu Yuheng would choose to use money to settle the matter.

Because Yunhua was just a maid, her identity must be very different from Gu Baizhou's. Although Lord Gu was afraid of the Seventh Prince, he would not let go of someone who would make their Gu family extinct.
