Chapter 138 The Boy and Girl Whose Luck Was Taken Away
Gu Hong lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said firmly, "Mom, I believe she won't vent her anger on me."
Madam Gu laughed and said angrily, "How do you know she won't vent her anger on you? Even if she doesn't vent her anger on you, what about the Duke?"
"The person I want to follow is her, not the Duke. His attitude is not important."
Seeing her son's determination, Mrs. Gu felt a little worried, because no one could change what her son had decided.
That little girl has a very fiery hand, she is really worried.
"Why do you have to follow her?"
"She is very strong, and she is also Wuwang's enemy. Only by joining her can my son avenge his sister."
There was one more thing he didn't say, which was that she had good wine.
When Madam Gu heard this, tears immediately flowed down her face. Yes, if she wanted to take revenge, she had to unite with the Duke.
Well, no, there are still many people who can unite.
For example, a merchant in Ganzhou produced a young man who amazed the world fifty years ago. He was outstanding in appearance, literary talent and martial arts, and was the greatest pride of the merchant.
Such a young man with a promising future suddenly started to have bad luck one day and finally drowned in the river.
Others just thought he was unlucky, but she knew that the boy had all his luck taken away.
Now the boy’s parents are gone, but his brothers and sisters are still alive.
We can inform them, but as for whether or not to avenge the boy after so much time has passed, it is up to them to decide.
There was also a girl in Yangzhou thirty years ago. Although that girl had no talent, she had a good appearance.
Originally, thanks to her good looks, she finally met her true love, and they lived together for the rest of their lives, living a life of wealth and prosperity. Her fate was also quite good.
It’s a pity that she was discovered by Wuwang and her life ended at the age of fifteen.
There are many people in this world like this boy and girl whose fortunes have been taken away without reason, and her daughter is one of them.
If we could find the families of these victims one by one, it would be a powerful force.
The more Madam Gu thought about it, the more excited she became. She stood up and walked into the house. She wanted to write down all the families she knew.
Gu Hong watched her disappearing figure and put away his dishes in silence.
When my mother ran away from home, she only took with her two trusted secret guards whom she had secretly trained over the years, and did not take any other maids or servants with her.
He is the only one who can clean up these dishes.

As the sky brightened, Wuwang's screams gradually died down inside the Duke's Mansion, but many people gathered outside the Mansion.
However, seeing Lu Xian exuding an aura that no one could approach, no one dared to approach him.
The palace also learned that Wuwang had attacked the Duke's mansion at night and that his screams were suppressed.
Hua Chenyi was so furious that he even forgot about the morning court session. He stood barefoot in the bedroom and threw the things on the table onto the ground.
"Wuwang, what do you want to do?"
If the Duke's Mansion was so easy to deal with, would he still have to endure it?
He kept pacing back and forth, feeling extremely anxious. He didn't know what to do. This must have completely angered Lu Jingmo.
Although it was not his order, he was the one who protected Wuwang from the very beginning and gave him the position of national teacher despite the pressure.
Lu Jingmo will definitely blame him for what he has done now.
As time goes by, some feelings have faded.
At this moment, he thought of how more than ten years ago, in order to make Yingying happy, he disregarded Lu Jingmo's face and protected Wuwang and appointed him as the national teacher.
I just felt like I was possessed by a ghost.
Not only that, he even believed the rumors that the founding emperor of the Hua family had cast a curse on the Lu family, and anyone from the Lu family who wanted to rebel would be retaliated against.
Finally, he proposed to take back the Qilin Guard, and Lu Jingmo directly said he would rebel.
And there was no sign of backlash from others, which was the beginning of his real falling out with Lu Jingmo.
Hua Chenyi closed his eyes weakly, he regretted it!
When Concubine Zhang Yingying knew that the Imperial Preceptor was trapped in the Duke's Mansion, she was so anxious that she ran to find Hua Chenyi without even putting on her clothes properly.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Chen is here."
The eunuch's cautious voice sounded, and Hua Chenyi raised his eyelids.
There was no joy of the beloved in his eyes.
He said quietly, "Let her in."
Soon, Concubine Chen, looking disheveled, ran in crying. Hua Chenyi was surprised for a moment, and then his face turned gloomy.
She came here like this, probably for Wuwang!
"Your Majesty, please save the Imperial Master!" Zhang Yingying knelt down, crawled to Hua Chenyi's feet, hugged his legs and cried.
Hua Chenyi felt sad. The woman he loved most was not worried about his situation at this time, but was worried about a monk instead.
Is it really just for that favor?
Why did he feel something was wrong no matter how he thought about it now?
"Yingying, you care more about the Imperial Master than I do. This really makes me sad."
He kicked with his leg, and Zhang Yingying screamed and fell backwards, her tearful face full of astonishment.
When she met Hua Chenyi's emotionless eyes, her heart instantly sank to the bottom.
What did he discover?
What to do! He could not spoil her, but he could not ignore the Imperial Master.
Thinking of this, she immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master went to the Duke's Mansion for Your Majesty. Your Majesty also saw the banquet in the palace that day.
Duke Lu doesn't take Your Majesty seriously at all, and even his granddaughter doesn't take you seriously either."
"The Imperial Master also wants to help His Majesty solve the problem of Duke Lu."
"Now that he is trapped in the Duke's Mansion, Your Majesty cannot ignore him, otherwise it will disappoint the courtiers who are loyal to the Hua Dynasty."
Hua Chenyi looked at Zhang Yingying like this and laughed softly. It was ridiculous. Was it for him?
Why don't you believe it?
He leaned forward and lifted her chin, his eyes full of coldness, "My concubine is a monk in her eyes and heart.
Have you ever thought about angering Lu Jingmo? If he rebels, do you think you can still be a concubine? And your son can still be a prince?"
Zhang Yingying lowered her eyes, with a look of mockery in them. Both she and Shan Yang existed only to serve the master.
As long as the master is safe, it doesn’t matter whether she becomes a concubine or her son becomes a prince.
However, Hua Chenyi cannot be told yet. We have to calm him down first and let him go to save the master.
She raised her tearful, panic-stricken face and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know..."
She shook her head as she spoke, and her expression made people want to pity her. "I didn't know there would be such serious consequences. What should I do, Your Majesty?"
Seeing her frightened look, Hua Chenyi softened his heart and said, "Go back and don't get involved in this matter."
When Zhang Yingying heard this, she was shocked. How could this be possible? The master was still waiting for someone to rescue him.
"Your Majesty, the Imperial Master is very capable. If we want to fight against Duke Lu, without the Imperial Master we will lose a helper."
"Besides, now that it has come to this, it is better to take the initiative than to wait for Duke Lu to be ready, by which time Your Majesty will be in a passive position."
Hua Chenyi pondered over what she said, and what she said made sense.
He and Duke Lu have been fighting for more than ten years and have long been incompatible. It is only a matter of time before a fierce battle breaks out between them.
Why not take advantage of this incident to attack him? I don't think he is prepared.
The odds of winning are pretty good.
He looked down at Zhang Yingying and said, "You go back. I will go and save the Imperial Master."
Hearing this, Zhang Yingying's face was filled with joy. She bowed to thank him and then left with peace of mind.
