Chapter 429

Shen Ruxu clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips digging into her palms, her eyes slightly red, and coldly laughed, "Let me tell you, don't regret it, you don't really think you can dictate my life, do you?"

"Oh? Does Miss Shen have any other tricks up her sleeve?"

"You can wait and see."

"Oh? Let's hear what Miss Shen has to say."

Shen Ruxu was choked up, almost exposing herself, "If you want to trick me into talking, forget it."

Gu Ying looked at her disdainfully, took Yin Lan with him and walked out, his eyes also turning cold.

"Yin Lan, have someone keep a close eye on her. After my provocation just now, she will surely act desperately."

Yin Lan held an umbrella over Gu Ying's head, with a worried look on her face, "Mistress, even Su Louzhu's people can't find Haitang, could Haitang really have been killed by Shen Ruxu?"

Gu Ying's face was solemn, "I'm afraid the odds are against us."

Yin Lan was puzzled, "But Shen Ruxu doesn't have much power in Bianjing, and has no other backer besides the Duke's mansion, how could she have made Haitang disappear without a trace?"

Gu Ying stopped in her tracks, "There is another possibility."

Yin Lan's brows furrowed slightly, "What?"

The sky was gloomy and dark, with lightning flashing across the horizon, tearing open the murky curtain of the sky.

The thick dark clouds kept rolling, and the cold wind roared. The thunder grew louder and louder, as if exploding overhead.

Gu Ying's chest felt stuffy, her fingertips trembling slightly. After a long while, she choked out, "Jiang Yin is still alive."

Only if Jiang Yin is still alive, can all this be reasonably explained.

Mu Nanfeng taking Gu Shuang away, finding Xiao Gutou, using Xiao Gutou to spread rumors, leading her to investigate and discover Xiao Gutou, then pairing Shang Jiao with Fu Xun - all of this was controlled and manipulated by someone hidden in the shadows.

This invisible hand stirring up storms, just to get everything back on track.

Fu Xunzhi and Shang Jiao, Mu Nanfeng and Gu Shuang, and Xiao Gutou... these were all people they knew in their previous lives.

The more Gu Ying thought about it, the paler her face became, her frozen body began to tremble.

If... if her guess was right, then next Jiang Yin would grab her, kill the child in her belly, cripple her, and throw her into a dilapidated temple!

Gu Ying moved her stiff eyes, staring blankly at Ye Zhuojiang's lively handsome face for a long time, before giving a faint smile. "I'm fine, Jiang Jiang."

"Tsk, call me uncle!"

Gu Ying smiled, "Jiang Jiang."

Seeing her forced smile, Ye Zhuojiang said worriedly, "But you don't look alright at all!"

Gu Ying let out a helpless sigh, "Is that so?"

Ye Zhuojiang nodded, "Did someone bully you? Tell me, I'll go beat him up!"

Gu Ying shook her head, falling silent again. In fact, she was not afraid that Jiang Yin was still alive.

Even if he was alive, she just had to kill him again.

This time, she must watch him die with her own eyes!

Ye Zhuojiang was extremely anxious, unable to get it out of her, but could do nothing about it, only quietly accompanying her.

Until Su He came in the rain, glanced at the Kirin troops in the yard, and said to Gu Ying, "Sister-in-law, found it."

Gu Ying's eyes lit up in an instant, regaining her senses, "Come in and talk."

Su He nodded, the two went into the room. Ye Zhuojiang followed along without thinking.

Su He had wanted to chase him out, but Gu Ying said, "Su He, let him in."

Su He pouted, but didn't say anything more. After all, the pregnant one had the final say, this girl had Er Chi's son in her belly, he didn't dare defy her.

Inside the room, the three sat down.

Gu Ying said, "Jiang Jiang is one of us, no need to avoid him."

Su He paused, then directly said, "Previously, Mu Nanfeng said he saw Shen Ruxu often going to the East Market, this time, my men finally tailed her."

Gu Ying's heart shook, "What happened?"

Su He's eyes had mostly recovered, bright and spirited, he said, "She went to the Chu Residence in Pear Blossom Alley."

Gu Ying's brows furrowed slightly, "Chu Residence?"

Su He said, "Yes, there lives a family surnamed Chu, heavily guarded, unable to get close. My men didn't dare startle the snake in the grass for now, so could only observe from afar. Sister-in-law, are you interested in this Chu character? Want me to send people to break in and drag him out?"
