After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

Da You was slightly taken aback by Cui Sheng's words. When he realized what he meant, he became so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged.

What kind of person did the guard of the sixth prince think of him?

He punched Cui Sheng in the face: "Bullshit! You're so dirty-minded, everything you think is dirty too!"

Daewoo took out a deck and clamped Choi Seung's left hand fingers onto it one by one.

Cui Sheng panicked instantly. He was all too familiar with the splint. Once the splint was on, his fingers were connected to his heart, and even the most stubborn prisoner would have to confess.

Moreover, this hand might be crippled; how can one hold office if their hand is crippled?

"How dare you take such drastic measures against court officials! I will impeach Su Xiuran before the Emperor and have your Gu family's crimes compounded!"

Gu Yu'an was slightly taken aback, as this was something he hadn't expected. Although he wasn't afraid of Cui Sheng accusing the Gu family because he had no evidence, he wasn't afraid of that accusation either.

He had long known from the two princes that the Gu family's petitions were so numerous that they couldn't all fit on the imperial desk.

Even when the Censorate's dog went missing, they blamed it on the Gu family.

However, dealing with rabid dogs biting people is troublesome, so it's best to leave no trace.

He whispered a few words in Da You's ear. Da You then put the splint away.

He took out a venomous snake and said in a sinister tone, "Since that's the case, then let my partner have some fun with you. This is called the seven-step snake. If bitten by it, you'll die within seven steps from a festering wound."

As he spoke, he placed the small snake in his hand on the ground, and the snake crawled accurately toward Cui Sheng.

Gu Yu'an and Gu Liyao both unconsciously took a step back; it was truly perverted.

As Cui Sheng watched the slippery venomous snake crawl towards him, the slick touch sent shivers down his spine and made his whole body tremble involuntarily.

"Ah...ah ah..."

Cui Sheng was so frightened that he screamed in despair. Da You quickly pressed Cui Sheng's pressure points, preventing him from escaping.

"Ah...ah...make it go down, make it go down!"

Cui Sheng tried to shake his arm but couldn't get it off, and tried to pull the snake off with his other hand.

This action instantly enraged the venomous snake, which opened its mouth wide and hissed at its enemy.

Then it suddenly bit down on Choi Seung's hand.

"what……"

suddenly……

Cui Sheng felt a warm current flowing beneath him.

A pool of pale yellow, unidentified liquid appeared on the ground...

The pampered official had never seen such a scene before, and he fainted instantly.

"Useless"

Da You squatted down on the ground and casually made a sarcastic remark. The little snake then coiled up Da You's wrist, behaving very obediently.

Da You gently stroked the little snake: "Did you get scared? Did you suffer some injustice?"

"It's okay, it's okay."

Gu Liyao watched their interaction, which felt like they were coaxing a little girl, and got goosebumps all over his body.

He rubbed his arms: "Ew~"

abnormal!

Gu Yu'an frowned, walked over, and reached out to feel under Cui Sheng's nose.

Thankfully, it's still breathing!

He was genuinely afraid that the snake would scare Cui Sheng to death.

Da You found a basin of water and splashed it violently on Cui Sheng.

"Don't bite me, don't bite me..."

Choi Seung-soo woke up with a start, panting heavily.

He suddenly remembered something, and pulled up his sleeve, revealing two teeth marks on his arm.

The chills from the venomous snake and the fear of death caused him to break out in a cold sweat, and he swallowed hard.

Is Su Xiuran really so heartless to let her sister-in-law become a widow?

He decided to take a gamble: "Poison me! Poison me! Then Gu Xinyi will become a widow, hahaha!"

Gu Yu'an glanced at him indifferently: "I don't know who you're talking about. We're just doing our jobs for money. The other party said it doesn't matter if they die. It's not like widows can't remarry."

"But what if she's a widow? Who would know if she moved to another place?"

Cui Sheng was taken aback. What the other party said was true. As long as Gu Xinyi left the capital, her looks and figure wouldn't be too bad.

Now Cui Sheng was truly panicked; the fear of death made him break out in a cold sweat instantly.

"I beg you, give me the antidote, give me the antidote!"

He doesn't want to die yet.

Gu Yu'an looked at Cui Sheng with utter disgust at his spineless attitude and tossed him another piece of paper: "Write a divorce agreement, and I'll give it to you."

"Give it to me first, then I'll write it. What if you deny it after I write it?"

Gu Yu'an: "Do you think you have the right to discuss things with me now?"

Cui Sheng nodded resignedly, hoping that Gu Xinyi would consider their years of marriage and tear up the divorce papers.

Otherwise, if she were to marry and have children, he would surely become a laughingstock of the whole world.

Choi Seung propped himself up and began writing the divorce papers.

Gu Yu'an watched his pen-holding technique and casually said, "The divorce agreement must not say that Gu Xinyi has been childless for many years. It must be filled with praise, saying that her in-laws are incompetent and cannot give her a happy and fulfilling life, which is why they decided to divorce her."

Cui Sheng's hand trembled, and a drop of ink smudged on the rice paper.

He gritted his teeth. Wouldn't writing it like this nail him to the pillar of shame?

He hesitated for a long time before putting pen to paper. He had originally planned to write that Gu Xinyi had no children, and that giving her face would be a way to get a divorce rather than a formal letter of separation.

Da You said impatiently, "Hurry up, you'll die within an hour if you don't take the antidote."

Cui Sheng panicked upon hearing this, as almost half an hour had already passed.

He dared not delay and immediately began writing, since no one else could see the divorce papers anyway.

Now he can only hope for Gu Xinyi.

He knew Gu Xinyi well; as long as he went back and told her how Su Xiuran had bullied him, she definitely wouldn't leave.

Gu Xinyi is just angry right now. She loves him so much, all she needs is for him to coax her a little.

Thinking this way, he felt more confident and finished writing in a few quick strokes.

Da You stepped forward, took the divorce papers, and handed them to Gu Yu'an. Gu Liyao immediately took out the article that Cui Sheng had written earlier from his pocket.

The two carefully compared the handwriting.

Choi Seung looked at the scene before him with a guilty conscience as his eyelids twitched.

Are today's bandits so meticulous and cultured?

After Gu Yu'an carefully checked the notes and confirmed that the contents were correct, a smile appeared on his lips. Now his aunt was free!

Da You was also watching from the side, and he felt that something was missing. His Sixth Master would stamp anything important that he wrote.

He didn't know whether the divorce papers needed to be stamped; he wasn't even married yet.

He whispered a reminder: "Does this need to be stamped?"

Gu Yu'an was slightly taken aback, then looked at him gratefully. No wonder he felt something was wrong.

"Even on the verge of death, you're still trying to outsmart me. Take his private seal."

Da You stepped forward and yanked at the private seal on his waist: "Pah, you're not honest at all."

Cui Sheng gripped the seal tightly; once it was stamped, he could no longer claim it was a forgery.

Da You slapped him: "Let go, do you still want the antidote?"

Cui Sheng reluctantly let go: "The...the antidote, give me the antidote!"

Da You pulled a porcelain bottle from his pocket and tossed it to him: "It's all yours."

Cui Sheng quickly picked them up, took out a handful, and ate them directly.

Gu Yu'an frowned slightly, seemingly thinking about how to deal with this piece of trash: "Knock him out and dump him at the door of his mistress's room."

He was going to pick up his aunt with the divorce papers, not wanting her to see this awful thing.

Seeing that Cui Sheng had fainted, Gu Liyao said to Da You, "We'll wait for you at the alley entrance on the left. Thanks for your hard work, Da Zuo."

Dae-yomi explained, "I am Dae-yomi."

Gu Liyao: "Okay, Da Zuo."

Dayou: "..."
