Chapter 548 - 548 Great Evil



After Gu Chengrui finished his bath, he entered his bedroom and saw Zhou Ying leaning against the headboard and reading a book. Under the light, she looked like a pixie, smiling seductively. She stretched out her claws and pounced on him with a laugh.

After a hearty exercise, Gu Chengrui took the title deed under his pillow and said, “This is the title deed for the land I went to see today. It’s a total of 2,200 acres.”

“Oh, it’s finally transferred? Where did you get the silver?” Zhou Ying looked at her name and asked, surprised.

“Brother Zhou gave me the money from the wild rose sale. 1 didn’t take the rest and gave it to him as his commission.”

“How much did it sell in total?”

“4,300 taels. The manor was sold as barren land, so it cost 2,200 taels.”

“Not bad. We’ll split it equally.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she put the title deed into her interspace.

After that, she used her divine sense to look outside. After confirming that Shizhu had left, the two entered her interspace.

After finishing her work, Zhou Ying took a glance at the Yang residence.

The Yang siblings and Yang Chengsen were already asleep. Only Yang Wanyu was still rummaging through the old madam’s room.

After ensuring the siblings were safe, Zhou Ying left and collected another batch of vegetables.

She washed a tomato and ate it after that.

The interspace’s tomato was delicious, sweet, and sour. The texture was not inferior to eating a watermelon.

She washed a few more, cut them into slices, and mixed them with white sugar. When Gu Chengrui returned, she served them for supper.

The next morning, Gu Chengui had returned from morning court when Zhou Ying woke up.

After they finished breakfast, Zhou Ying asked, “Rui, has that scholar arrived in the capital?”

“He’s here. We can go pick him up anytime.” Gu Chengrui added with a complicated expression, “The First Prince has pleaded for mercy on behalf of Mrs. and Madam Cui today.

“He hoped that their punishment could be changed to exile instead.”

“That’s strange. Yang Wanyu looked for him for half a day yesterday, but he didn’t show up.”

“Maybe he didn’t think of a perfect solution.”

“So what did the Emperor say?”

“Of course he rejected it, and he publicly announced the evil deeds of the Cui family. Just the number of girls that were forcefully sold by them surpassed more than a thousand.”

“What about the Third Prince? Did he help?”

“Kinda. He said that after such a disastrous year, it’s not suitable for blood to spill again. Beheading might not be too suitable.

“In the end, after the discussion amongst the ministers, their sentence was changed to hanging.”

“Hanging isn’t that even worse than beheading? They’ll have to suffer for quite a while.”

“Who asked them to commit such a heinous crime?”

“True.” Zhou Ying nodded in agreement.

The Cui family had done so many evil things. In her opinion, it was not an exaggeration to burn them at the stake.

After lunch, Gu Chengrui went to the government office.

Zhou Ying brewed a pot of tea and took a book as a cover to look at the Yang residence.

This was Yang Wanning’s first major event. Zhou Ying needed to see if Yang Wanning could defend herself, if she were smart enough, or if it was worth it to help her all the way to the end.

Yang Wanning and Yang Chenglin had just finished their lunch when Aunt Ning and her daughter walked in, followed by two childless aunts.

When Yang Wanning saw everyone, she stood up and asked, “Why are all of you gathered here at my place?”

“I asked them to come over. Grandmother and Mother are going to be beheaded at noon. We have to discuss what to do, right?” Yang Wanyu walked in, followed by Yang Chengsen, who had a gloomy aura..
