The Princess Agents Want a Divorce

Heh! So you know how to feel sorry for someone now? Gu Lingxi sneered! How heartbroken my mother was when you killed my younger sister! What did the child do wrong?

You killed my father's daughter and cuckolded him for over a decade, and you still have the nerve to talk about kinship? Shameless! Utterly shameless! How could you say such a thing?

Feng Rou'er glared at Aunt Mei with hatred, wishing she could pierce two bloody holes in her heart! Fortunately, heaven had mercy and sent her a filial daughter, allowing her to avenge her great grudge! It was truly gratifying!

Gu Fengyuan didn't stop them, which could be considered tacit approval! This vicious mother and daughter had done countless evil deeds! Now they were finally getting their just deserts! That little bit of kindness had long since vanished! He had already done more than enough by raising her for over a decade!

Father, Father, save me! It's me, Ting'er! I'm your daughter!

*Thud!* The sound of the dagger piercing flesh was particularly loud! Blood slowly trickled from the corner of Gu Yuting's mouth as she stared unblinkingly in the direction of Aunt Mei! She murmured, "I hate you!"

"Ting'er! No! My Ting'er!" Pushing aside the cold rain, the disheveled Aunt Mei crawled towards Gu Yuting on her hands and feet!

Ah! Waaaaah! Ting'er! My precious darling! I shook her for ages but there was no response! Aunt Mei frantically put Gu Yuting down and rushed towards Wang Fugui! You beast, I'll fight you to the death!

With a soft thud, Wang Fugui instinctively thrust the knife forward!

Aunt Mei looked at the knife piercing her chest, and a sudden surge of fierceness welled up inside her! She yanked the dagger out, spraying a large amount of crimson blood! It splattered all over Wang Fugui's face! He stared blankly as Aunt Mei plunged the dagger viciously into his chest!

The moment Aunt Mei collapsed, Wang Fugui also died!

They got off too easily! They died so quickly!

Mother! My dear Mother!

The great revenge was finally taken, and the heavy weight on Feng Rou'er's heart was finally lifted. She collapsed weakly, feeling as if she had been hollowed out!

Gu Feng, who was very close, scooped the person up in his arms!

Gu Yunyang had just come out of the training ground when the guards told him that something had happened! He came in and saw his mother had fainted! He was extremely anxious!

Father! What happened to Mother?

It's alright. You and your sister take your mother back to her room! Ask Old Qi to get her some calming medicine! Your mother just suffered a bit of a shock! She'll be fine!

Gu Lingxi nodded to Gu Yunyang, and the two of them left with Feng Rou'er! The mess left for Old Master Gu to clean up! It was his own doing that caused this terrible consequence! If Old Master Gu hadn't taken a concubine and only had Mother as his wife, none of this would have happened!

All the servants in Plum Garden were silenced and sold off! The once bustling place suddenly lost its veil of prosperity! The next day, rumors spread that the General's Mansion had been attacked by assassins who killed Manager Wang and Aunt Mei and her daughter, who had come to report the accounts to Aunt Mei!

The death of a concubine and a concubine's daughter didn't cause much of a stir! Everyone knew perfectly well that no prominent family was without its share of scandals, so it wasn't surprising at all!

The funeral arrangements for Aunt Mei and her husband were handled hastily, without even a white sail! Two thin coffins were all they needed! As for Wang Fugui, Gu Fengyuan simply had him thrown into a mass grave!

Both the Mei family and the Wang family had come to cause trouble, hoping to gain some benefits! After all, Aunt Mei owned quite a few shops and estates before her death! However, after learning the true cause of the three people's deaths, they all slunk away! They left as utterly pathetic as they had come, running faster than rabbits, terrified that Gu Fengyuan would pursue the matter further! Furthermore, if word got out, the reputations of both families would be ruined! Who would dare marry into either family then? And so the matter was left unresolved.

Of course, it was Gu Fengyuan who spread the rumors! His handling of the situation was already the best possible outcome! It preserved his and the General's Mansion's reputation while also giving the mother and daughter enough dignity! However, Feng Rou'er seemed dissatisfied with his arrangements and hadn't spoken to him for several days! She wouldn't even let him into her room! Sigh! He knew he owed her too much, so he let her be!

Having resolved a major problem in the manor, Gu Lingxi felt a bit more relaxed! Feng Rou'er had fallen seriously ill since returning that day, and even after recovering, she locked herself in her room every day! Gu Lingxi was afraid she would get bored, so she had to come and comfort her every day!

"Mother! Are you planning to let Father sleep in the study for a few more days? He's lost weight these past few days!" Gu Lingxi said casually while eating her rice.

Gu Yunyang also looked at Feng Rou'er! "Mother, please eat more and don't think about anything! My sister and I are here!"

Feng Rou'er looked at her two children with deep emotion! Alas! The past is past, and dwelling on it is pointless! The best choice now is to cherish the people in front of her! Besides, she already has such outstanding children, that's enough!

You're such a worrywart! You little devil, haven't you noticed your mother has lost weight?

Hearing that her tone had softened, Gu Lingxi pressed her advantage! "Then, Mother, eat more! This chicken was made for you by your daughter herself! Isn't it delicious?"

Mmm! The food that my sister makes is always delicious! Gu Yunyang praised her generously!

It's so delicious, so incredibly delicious! I don't even care who made it! My Xi'er is the best!

Then let's ask Dad to have some too!

You little devil, you're always causing trouble!

Mother, does this mean you agree?

Yes! Mother has come to terms with it! Let bygones be bygones! From now on, you and Yang'er are the most important people to Mother!

"And what about me?" Gu Fengyuan walked in from outside with a fawning look on his face! He had begged Xi'er for days before she finally agreed to put in a good word for him! It seems daughters are still the best! That blockhead son of his was like a wooden stake, not saying a single nice word for him, hmph! He's so angry!

Feng Rou'er rolled her eyes! Hmph! The older you get, the thicker your skin becomes! Hurry up and sit down to eat!

Gu Lingxi and Gu Yunyang exchanged a glance and tactfully withdrew from the room, leaving the couple alone!

Xi'er, thank you!

Looking at his younger sister walking ahead, Gu Yunyang sincerely wanted to thank her! After learning the whole story, he felt extremely guilty! As a son, as a brother, and as the man of this family, he had failed to protect them both. Although Xi'er wasn't their mother's biological child, she had done more than he, her own son! She did a good job!

Hehe! Big brother, why are you and your sister being so polite? Do you think I'm an outsider?

No way! Xi'er is my dear sister, Gu Yunyang's own sister! How could she be an outsider!

Haha, then let's not settle it! There's no need for thanks between us, brother and sister!

Finally, things at home are settled! It's been so long since I've visited Xiangyue Tower! Although Old Qin has taken care of everything related to the renovation, I'm still not very familiar with the place, so I need to go check it out myself!
