Chapter 352

Some of the men outside the public hall looked dumbfounded, while some whistled frivolously.Nêww chapters will be fully updated at novelhall.com

Meanwhile, Gu Jing’s complexion was as dark as the bottom of the pot, thinking that he really lost all his face today.

He really couldn’t stay any longer, flickering his sleeve coldly, he turned around and was about to leave.

“Your Highness!” Qin Xin agitatedly shouted to Gu Jing, still tugging at Xu Jinpeng with one hand.

She knew she couldn’t let Gu Jing leave just like that, everyone in the capital knew that she was Gu Jing’s concubine, if Gu Jing left now, she could only follow the Xu family.

How could she marry a fool!!!

But Gu Jing ignored her and strode out of the public hall.

Of course, Gu Jing couldn’t really leave Qin Xin behind. Everyone knows that Qin Xin was his woman, and if he “gave” his woman to a fool like this, how would the world think of him?!

But at this moment, if he continues to make trouble in the court with so many people watching, it would only make him feel more humiliated and make others look at him as a joke.

So, it would be better to wait until the trial was over and was thinking that after he withdraws, he’ll have someone stop the Xu family and take Qin Xin back, anyway, the Xu family just wants benefits. At that time, the magistrate would no longer have the authority to meddle of other people’s private affairs!

With these thoughts, Gu Jing felt that this was the best method and accelerated his steps out of the court, but what he didn’t think was, Qin Xin wasn’t aware of his plan.

Seeing that Gu Jing was about to leave, she panicked and in fear, an inexplicable force grew on her body as she continued to struggle to shake off Xu Jinpeng.

“Your Highness!” Qin Xin rushed out of the public hall in one breath, pulling Gu Jing’s wrist, not even caring about her torn right sleeve.

“Your Highness, don’t leave me behind.” Qin Xin raised her small face with delicate features, her eyes were like full autumn water, and used this to look at Gu Jing pitifully.

People don’t do it for themselves, heaven, and earth destroy it*, so she has no other choice, not to mention, there was no other way, moreover, she must not be taken back by that fool.

(*means a person does not cultivate himself, then it will be unacceptable to heaven and earth)

At this moment, Qin Xin’s heart was filled with a thousand times of resentment towards Li Jinzhu and Zhao Amman. Their work was sloppy and messy, why couldn’t they report the death of their eldest daughter to the government?

If they hadn’t let Qin Jiu take over her household registration and eight characters, she wouldn’t be in this situation at all!

Qin Xin and Gu Jing looked at each other, two pairs of eyes interlocked, she then said to herself she had no way out.

Qin Xin said again, “Your Highness, you know that I’ve always been timid, let alone, a few strikes of a stick, even if I was pinched, I easily get scared...”

Gu Jing’s gaze became even more sinister, and his hatred surged.

He hated people threatening him the most.

The pity he felt for Qin Xin completely disappeared, only hatred, and disgust remains in his heart. He abhorred her.

Qin Xin was even more afraid after seeing Gu Jing’s eyes but on the other hand, she became calmer as if her soul had been pulled out of her body, and clearly added, “Besides, your highness, you still “need” me, don’t you?”

She put more emphasis on the word “need”.

She was valuable, and her existence could cover Gu Jing’s secret that he doesn’t want anyone to know.

Qin Xin: “There is no one more obedient than me, and can reassure his highness more.”

Her voice sounded soft and gentle, but the meaning in her words was thorny. She was implying to Gu Jing that she knew all his secrets and if he didn’t save her, she would tell everything she knew.
