Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Among the numerous individuals in the Gu family, I cant possibly eliminate them all. So why escalate it to a life-and-death scenario? But when it comes to certain individuals who have committed heinous acts, they shouldnt think they can get away scot-free!

She could let others off the hook, but Gu Lingxue and Gu Zhicheng must pay the appropriate price!

One caused the death of the original owner, and the other indirectly led to the demise of the Jun family. If they were to live carefree, how could the departed souls find peace?

Feng Tianlan stood by Gu Qingluans side, his voice steady, Go ahead with your plan; 111 support you in everything.

Gu Qingluan glanced at him and moved her lips, but before she could refuse, she noticed Feng Tianlans expression and decided to remain silent.

Bo He nudged Su Lies elbow and smiled.

It seemed that their mistress and Mr. Feng had made good progress in their relations.h.i.+p during their absence.

She cleared her throat and said, Whatever decision our mistress makes, we will support you.

Su Lie nodded in agreement.

Not long after, several of the Gu familys servants were indeed escorted over.

There were three of them in total, all elderly members of the Gu family.

Gu Qingluan had no impression of them.

These three had been working in the Gu residence even before w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ entered the family.

One was responsible for the dietary needs of Gu Qingluans mother, Madam Junqing. One was a midwife, and the third was a maid who attended to Madam Junqing.

Judging solely by their appearances, all three seemed kind-hearted.

Who could have guessed that they had slowly poisoned Madam Junqing to death?

Among the maids accompanying Madam Junqing, there were also capable individuals who meticulously inspected all food and clothing to ensure safety. However, these three were all part of the Junqing Courtyard, making it easy for them to harm her. Madam Junqings estate was simply unable to guard against such treachery. According to the descriptions provided by the three individuals, they had tampered with either the food or the clothing, but neither on its own contained poison. However, when the two were combined, they formed a deadly toxin.

Due to the small dosage, the acc.u.mulated effects of the poison over time were difficult to detect.

Madam Junqings pregnancy and delivery marked the moment when, following w.a.n.g s.h.i.+s orders, the midwife subtly manipulated things to make it appear as if she had a complicated childbirth. Even if an inquiry were launched, uncovering the truth would be a daunting task. The slow-acting poison only left her physically weakened, and unless a proficient poison expert was involved, detecting the poisoning would be impossible.

After Madam Junqings death, they were sent to the estates rural villa by w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, where they were effectively kept in confinement.

Initially, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ had plans to get rid of them, but before she could act, they had gathered evidence against her. If w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ had decided to eliminate them in order to silence them, it would have also revealed the true reason behind Madam Junqings death. Consequently, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ had no option but to spare their lives.

Gu Qingluan listened to the entire process of how they had harmed her mother, her face showing no discernible expression.

On the other hand, Feng Tianlan felt great sympathy and held her hand.

Gu Qingluan sensed the warmth transmitted through her hand, lowered her head to look, and her heart trembled slightly. She moved her fingers, pulling her hand back. Im fine.

However, everyone felt that she was putting on a facade of strength.

Bo He, filled with righteous indignation, said, That w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ is so malicious. Even before entering the family, she extended her influence so far. But if it werent for the tolerance of the Gu familys head, she wouldnt have been able to harm your mother so easily! The main culprit in all of this is that ungrateful old man!

Gu Qingluan smiled faintly, a coldness in her eyes. Indeed, if not for him, my mother wouldnt have pa.s.sed away so early. With her talent, beauty, and family background, she could have married someone better. It was Gu Zhichengs sweet talk and deception that fooled my mother. My mother has been gone for twenty years, while he has enjoyed twenty years of freedom. Its time for him to repay what he owes to my mother.

The three individuals kneeling in the hall could feel the chilling tone in her words, and they all s.h.i.+vered in unison..
