"Pah!" Being slammed into the ground, Gu Jinyu felt as if all the bones in her body were going to break apart. Heavy breathing sounds could be heard from all around him as an unpleasant stench of sweat assaulted his nose. Although he couldn't see with his eyes, his intuition told him that they hadn't gone far.

A few days ago, he had an argument with his mother in the street. After all these years, he had known that his mother had an obsession that she couldn't get rid of, and it wasn't like he had never tried to persuade her otherwise. It was just that after so many years, no matter how hard he tried, he was always trying to convince her. He understood in his heart that his mother had suffered a lot over the years. For a woman, her best years were wasted in the fields. For her, this was already the greatest punishment. But since you've done the wrong thing, you have to take responsibility for it, instead of trying to coax others into compromising and forgiving yourself.

After all these years, although his mother's attitude towards his sister had always been cold, he had always thought that time could change everything. It was only until this time when his mother had taken him away and left his sister behind that he began to understand that there were some things that could never be changed in a lifetime. This was human nature.

And so did his mother.

He knew that, to the Gu family, there might still be people who remembered him, but … What was the use of going back?

He was just one of many kids, and he was just a nobody. If he went back like this, other than being mocked and ridiculed, what else could he do? Or... or get sympathy from others... But so what?

At most, he would be raised by the Gu family, like a caged pet.

No, that was not what he wanted.

He knew in his heart that rather than living like this, it would be better to just stay in that little village …

At least he had gotten used to the days in the small mountain village. Even if he couldn't see, he could still find the things he wanted accurately. Even if he didn't need anyone's help, he could still rely on his direct and accurate way to get to the academy.

Although he had never been able to see anything worse than others ever since he was young, he had never felt that there was anything that was inferior to him.

Therefore, he didn't agree at all with Gu Yu's desire to go back, or even strongly oppose it.

But... Even now, he still felt that he had never understood her. Perhaps, in her heart, he was indeed very important. At least, compared to his little sister, he was much more important, but compared to her … Gu Jinyu knew very well in her heart that she loved herself more than anything. In order to achieve her goals, she could do anything she wanted.

But he didn't want to be a pawn in her hands.

From the very beginning, he knew that his teacher was invited by the Gu Clan. Otherwise, a blind man like him who could not even see his own eyes, no matter how smart he was, would not be able to smoothly enter the academy. But all these years, the teacher had always been very good to him. Not only had he taught him all kinds of knowledge, but he had also taught him how to live with others. It was because of this that he was so determined not to return home. That's right, what could a person who couldn't see the sky with his own eyes do when he went back to the Gu family? [And what my mother did all those years ago. Even if I go back, if I go back, I won't be forgiven. I will be let go like a thief!] Thus, when he found out his mother's motive, he decisively chose to leave …

But aside from Mister, he really didn't know who else he could turn to.

However, he had never expected that he would end up in someone else's hands instead of finding him.

These days, he had been locked in a small room. His food and drinks would be brought over on time. Everything would be fine except for his freedom.

However, someone had carried him out early in the morning. He could hear someone saying that some yamen runners had arrived … Then, before he could even figure out what had happened, he was left behind.

"Huff … huff …" "Damn, I'm so tired."

"That's right, he looks as weak as a chicken. I didn't expect him to be so heavy. I nearly missed a big matter!"

"It's okay, it's okay …"

The big men looked at each other depressingly, and all eyes fell on Gu Jinyu. Due to Madam Lin's plan to treat him well, she did not treat him unfairly in her daily life. As a result, not only had he not lost weight these days, but his complexion had also improved. His originally pale face had turned even more pale and tender.

Her white skin looked as if it could be broken by the wind.

This was the first time the big men had seen Gu Jinyu at such a close distance. They couldn't help but marvel at her beauty.

"Motherf * cker, I really didn't know a man could be this lively."

"Tsk tsk, what do you know? How could the father-in-law be willing if he didn't?"

"That's right, that's right, what a rare sight."

Since Gu Jinyu was his final trump card, Madam Lin had a very strict view of her. A group of people were not allowed to approach her. Although these few men were usually in charge of guarding him, they were still ordered not to get too close by Madam Lin. Thus, at most, they were only able to catch a glimpse from afar …

It had been a rare opportunity today. Looking at it from such a close distance, only now did he realize that he was even prettier than those girls.

The few burly men looked at it while clicking their tongues in wonder.

However …

"What a pity about those eyes!"

"I've heard that I've never been able to see her since I was young."

"Is that true?"

For the sake of Gu Jinyu, the three men looked him up and down from head to toe. Finally, they looked at him with regret in their eyes. To tell the truth, they were a pair of very beautiful eyes. They were limpid and clear, as if they didn't have the slightest bit of impurities. It was a pity that these big guys kept waving their hands in front of his eyes, but he didn't react at all.

"Tsk tsk, he really is blind." He tried several times, but Gu Jinyu didn't react at all. The men finally confirmed that he was blind and couldn't see anything, not pretending. One of the men felt that it was a pity. "If I could see, my eyes alone would be enough to seduce people."

While stroking his beard, the burly man smiled sinisterly, his eyes constantly roaming around Gu Jinyu's body.

"Tsk, you don't need to say that. "Aiyo, I really did not expect there to be such a handsome man. No wonder Madam had such plans. I'm afraid that this time you will be able to soar into greatness."

They were all servants of the Lin family and had been recruited by Madam Lin. They were responsible for keeping an eye on Gu Jinyu. Not only would they not allow him to escape, they had to be careful not to let Master Lin discover his existence. Of course, they all knew in their hearts why Madam Lin had captured such a young man.

Those old eunuchs had lived in the palace all year round, and because their treasured possessions had been cut off from their men, they had become asexual. Their hearts were all twisted with white. Especially those elderly ones, not only did they feel their hearts warp, they even held a large amount of power in their hands … These days, money could make people want to give it away. Although those old things couldn't give them a lot of money, they couldn't do anything about the power they had in their hands. So, there was no need for them to do it themselves. Naturally, there would be people obediently delivering themselves to them.

Of course, it wasn't that simple.

These days, even if they wanted to give it to you, they had to pay attention to the rules. Many people would send things to who knows where even if they had them in their hands. As for Madam Lin, by chance, she got to know the eunuch in the palace. After finding out that her father-in-law liked men, she did everything she could to find out who this eunuch was. However, this eunuch who lived in the palace, what kind of beauty had he not seen before? He had seen all sorts of beautiful women, and naturally, he had a very good eye. The first time she saw Gu Jinyu, her eyes lit up. That was why she had thought of all means to get her hands on Gu Jinyu.

"Yes, yes, so everyone be careful!"

"Pfft, what's there to be careful about? He's just a blind person. Even if we open the door and let him run away, he still doesn't have the ability to run away."

"Yeah, he's just a blind person."

"It's possible that Madam took a fancy to him and couldn't see anything, which is why …"

The big guys' words became more and more obvious. Of course, they didn't look at what you had just said. But the situation now was different. There were only the few of them here. Not to mention the Madam, even the two guards that were extremely generous were not there. So, of course, they took it easy and looked at it boldly, speaking as they pleased.

Of course, there were also people who couldn't help but take action …

"What are you doing!"

Although Gu Jinyu didn't say anything, he heard every word these people said. Slowly, he began to understand his current situation. However, he did not intend to have anything to do with these people. If he could remain silent, he would try his best to reduce the feeling of his own existence.

However, just because he didn't say anything didn't mean that those guys didn't have anything to say. He only felt a pair of large hands suddenly sweep across his face, and immediately, he jumped up in anger and shouted, "Bastard, what are you guys trying to do!"

Right, bastards, these people are definitely a bunch of bastards. I can't even see them with my own eyes, and they actually still have the mood to play around with me … Thinking of this, Gu Jinyu became even more furious. She wanted nothing more than to tear apart the person she had just attacked.

It was a pity that his quiet textbook could not be seen, and everything could only be done based on one's intuition.

Of course, the worst part wasn't this, but... It was because he suddenly realized that his current situation was different from when he was in the Lin Family. The reason he dared to delay in the Lin Family was because he wanted to wait and see what would happen. As long as he was fine, he would have enough time to think of a way to escape. After all, at that time, he was relatively safe. Other than having no freedom, he had everything he had. Furthermore, he had taken good care of everything else.

But now …

Clearly, something was wrong with the current situation.

Gu Jinyu couldn't help feeling goosebumps on her skin when she thought about the pair of rough hands just now.
