Gu Yingjie knelt in front of the rules wall in the punishment room. A statue of Guan Yu is craved in the middle of the wall, and there are one hundred sixty-two rules on both sides of the statue. Gu Yingjie was still at a loss. He didn't know why he was suddenly dragged into the punishment room, but he knew the reason. He knew that perhaps Gu Tingfang could not accept the fact that he liked Zhu Mingyang. If this is why he was punished, then he will accept it willingly without prejudice.
The door opened, and Gu Tingfuang walked inside the room with Gu Tianjian and Gu Xunsu. Gu Tianjian is right the co-leader of the Gu Household alongside side Gu Xunsu. Gu Tianjian is the younger brother of Gu Tingfuang who is from a different mother. As everyone knows, he is the calmest person in the Gu family. Gu Xunsu is the left co-leader and she is the younger sister of Gu Tingfuang who is from the same mother as Gu Tingfuang. Everyone inside the Gu Household is afraid of her because she is the rules and punishment enforcement chief officer. The two elders stood in front of Gu Yingjie with Gu Tingfuang. They looked at Gu Yingjie coldly.
Gu Xunsu asked madly, "Do you confess to your crime?"
Gu Yingjie replied, "Gugu, I don't know what crime I committed, so I am not confessing."
Gu Tianjian placed the two broken arrows on the floor in front of Gu Yingjie. He asked calmly, "Don't tell us that you don't remember these two arrows?"
Gu Yingjie, "I don't."
Gu Tingfang immediately threw two arrow heads on the ground, and a clear sound echoed in the silent punishment room. He said, "Yingjie, when you ask me permissions for the younger siblings to pick their guard before you, I thought you are a perfect leader. Over the years you have shown me that you have the ability to be a great leader. This is why I have choose you as my heir." He sighed. "Tell me, were you in danger when you released these two arrows?"
Gu Yingjie, "I don't understand the accusation of the crime."
Gu Xunsu, "The murder of your sister Gu Zhiruo."
Gu Yingjie, "Zhiruo and her guard?" He looked up at Gu Xunsu. "Gugu, why do you think I killed Zhiruo and her guard?"
Gu Tianjian said, "Because the arrow heads that was found in your flowerpots broken line matched the arrow that was taken from Zhirou and her guard's body."
Gu Xunsu sad angrily, "When you killed Zhiruo and her guard, you must have pulled out the arrows in a hurry, maybe you don't have enough time, so you choose to broke them and left. You kept the very evidence that tied you to their murder."
Gu Yingjie, "Tianjian shushu, if I were the real murderer, do you think I would carry such strong evidence with me?"
Gu Xunsu said, "That night, only you and Zhu Mingyang were the last to appear. No, no matter how you deny it, every evidence points to you. If it wasn't you, it would be Zhu Mingyang."
Gu Yingjie, "It's not Mingyang."
Gu Tianjian, "Then is you."
Gu Yingjie, "It's not us."
Gu Tingfuang, "Who believes you."
Gu Yingjie, "I was there when Zhiruo was killed. There were two people there. They came to kill me, but they saw Zhiruo and they killed her in anger."
Gu Tingfuang, "You two heard him."
Gu Xunsu said angrily, "Chief, I know that you favorite Yingjie more than your other children, but you have to remember that killing your sibling so you can ascending the leader seat is unacceptable in the Gu Household." She hit the stone lamb and smashed it to pieces.
Gu Tianjian, "I'll ask again, do you confess to your crime?"
Gu Yingjie looked up and said, "I didn't kill her, I won't admit it."
Gu Tianjian, "You…"
Gu Tingfuang, "Let's us go back and let him reflect for a bit."
Gu Xunsu, "I don't understand what is special about him, you always treat him like this."
Gu Tianjian, "Xunsu, he is still the chief."
Gu Tingfuang, Gu Xunsu, and Gu Tianjin walked out of the door. The two guards closed the door behind them.
After dark, the door slowly opened and Gu Xiaowen walked in. He stood right in front of Gu Yingjie, then slowly squatted on the ground.
Gu Xiaowen, "Yingjie, I didn't expect you to kneel here one day."
Gu Yingjie took a look at Gu Xiaowen and asked, "Are you satisfied?"
Gu Xiaowen frowned, "Father... he must love you very much. He also wants us to shut up of what we saw between you and Zhu Mingyang acting so shameless together. He still want us to keep our mouth shut, so you ascend the leader seat without difficulty." He sighed. "You are such a precious son to him."
Gu Yingjie, "Perhaps if you spend all your time improving your skills instead of hurting me on purpose. Father, will consider you for a promotion."
Gu Xiaowen, "How is Zhu Mingyang in bed? With his physical strength, I don't think he will spread his legs for you." He chuckled. "Did you spread your legs for him?"
Gu Yingjie, "Jealous? I know how you look at Mingyang. It doesn't matter if I spread my legs for him, or he spread his legs for me. I know that at the end of the day, he is mine, not yours." He scoffed at Gu Xiaowen. "Do you want to kill me so badly because you wish to own Mingyang?"
Gu Xiaowen, "Continue to mock. I don't care." He grabbed Gu Yingjie by the front collar. "A bastard son like you…don't deserve to have such a good guard like Zhu Mingyang." He pushed Gu Yingjie back to the floor. "I know that no matter what you do to him, he will never leave you, so I asked father to have you choose a different guard." He smiled at Gu Yingjie. "I know that Zhu Mingyang is royal to you, but that servant also loves you very much. If you change a guard, he will definitely leave you."
Gu Yingjie asked, "So set everything up?"
Gu Xiaowen, "Yes, and Zhu Mingyang has taken the bait." He smiled.
Gu Yingjie, "You killed Zhiruo?"
Gu Xiaowen smiled and said, "Maybe."
Gu Yingjie, "You and your brother killed Zhiruo and framed me?"
Gu Xiaowen, "What evidence do you have to link me to the crime? Last I checked, all the evidences point to you." He smiled. Then he turned to Yingjie. "Since you are dying. I want to tell you that I hated you from the beginning. You are an bastard child, and father has no reason to love you too much. An bastard child will be called an bastard child anyway. If one day you become a chief, you are still going to be a bastard child. From the first day of your marriage until right now, as you kneel on the floor here, I planned every step along the way." He smiled and started to walk outside the door. "I will crush you to the ground and do whatever it takes." He then smiled and said, "After Xunsu gugu destroys all your meridians and lock you in a cell. I will fuck Zhu Mingyang in front of you every day. Ha...ha...ha...there is nothing you can do about it." As he walked out the door, he continued to laugh.
Gu Yingjie stood up with anger and shouted, "Gu Xiaowen." He grabbed some pieces from the stone lantern and sent it to Gu Xiaowen. Three fragments hit Gu Xiaowen's chest, and a force smashed Gu Xiaowen out of the door and onto the stairs.
Two guards rushed into the room facing Gu Yingjie. Gu Yingjie quickly rushed forward and hit the chests of the two guards, causing the guards to fly over and hit the door frame vomiting blood.
Gu Yingjie shouted, "Gu Xiaowen, let me see how far you can run." He followed Gu Xiaowen quickly out the door.
