Frowning at Yu Manxue, Gu Xiruo impatiently retorted, “What does your own actions have to do with me?”
Yu Manxue wasn’t foolish. Upon hearing Gu Xiruo’s words, she naturally understood that Gu Xiruo intended to shift all the blame onto her.
“If you hadn’t grabbed my skirt, I wouldn’t have fallen. You, Gu Xiruo, you despicable person. I treated you as a good friend, and yet you framed me,” their relationship had been quite good, but Gu Xiruo’s words today made her completely resentful. If it weren’t for Gu Xiruo, she wouldn’t have gotten into such trouble.
Gu Xiruo frowned. “This has nothing to do with me. You caused the trouble yourself and now you’re here to slander me. I see through you.”
Su Yu glanced at the person holding Yu Manxue and they released her. As soon as she was released, Yu Manxue lunged at Gu Xiruo. “Gu Xiruo, I’ll make you pay for scheming against me.”
Su Yu propped his chin with one hand, watching the two of them, and let out a cold laugh. What a dog-eat-dog spectacle.
As Yu Manxue grabbed Gu Xiruo’s hair, causing her pain, Gu Xiruo grimaced and said, “Yu Manxue, let go of me. You brought this upon yourself. Why are you coming to me for trouble?”
In the end, she still refused to admit to her actions.
Gu Xiruo was no fool and knew that once she spoke, she would be finished.
“Gu Xiruo, stop pretending. You’re the one behind this,” trying to make her a scapegoat and see if she had the guts for it.
“Yu Manxue, you shrew, let go of me,” Gu Xiruo, a lady raised in a sheltered environment, faced off against Yu Manxue, who had some martial arts skills. It wouldn’t be easy for her to strike Gu Xiruo.
Unable to escape, Gu Xiruo looked at Su Yu. “Prince, are you just going to stand by and watch her attack me?”
Su Yu calmly sipped his tea. “Her personal grievances have nothing to do with me.”
With that one sentence, he distanced himself, leaving Gu Xiruo trembling with anger.
“What do you mean, Prince Yu? Just because I have a grudge with you, you randomly arrest innocent people?” Gu Xiruo said angrily through gritted teeth.
Su Yu looked at Gu Xiruo’s self-righteousness and threw something in front of her.
“Pull her away,” Su Yu ordered.
The nearby guards quickly pulled Yu Manxue away to prevent her from angering Su Yu.
At this moment, Gu Xiruo’s hair was disheveled, and her face bore swollen marks.
She hesitated to reach for the item on the ground.
“An innocent man has nothing to fear,” Gu Xiruo said hoarsely, convinced that Su Yu was deliberately causing trouble for her.
Su Yu chuckled softly and looked at Gu Xiruo with a mocking gaze. “Gu Xiruo, you should think before you speak.”
As Su Yu finished speaking, Xiao Bao ran in from outside. “Daddy, they said mommy is unconscious. What’s going on?”
He and his brother were playing at a friend’s house when they heard about this incident from their household, prompting them to rush back.
He waved to the two children and waited for them to approach before speaking. “Mommy is fine. She will wake up in a while.”
“Yuan Bao, take Xiao Bao to see Xiao He,” Su Yu didn’t want the children to witness the situation and intended to separate them.
“Young masters, come with me.”
Although Xiao Bao was reluctant, he obediently followed Yuan Bao.
As Zhang Zhilin left, he glanced at Gu Xiruo and then left with Yuan Bao.
After they left, Su Yu looked at Gu Xiruo. “Do you dare to take a look?”
Gu Xiruo’s hands trembled incessantly, and she dared not reach for the envelope that was not far from her.
Su Yu remained patient, sitting there and waiting for Gu Xiruo to make a move.
Yu Manxue, observing Gu Xiruo’s reaction, broke free from the person beside her and ran over to open and read the letter. After reading it, she threw it in front of Gu Xiruo. “Prince Yu, You have all the evidence we need. Gu Xiruo, you are shameless. How dare you claim it has nothing to do with you?”
As the letter lay open in front of her, Gu Xiruo lowered her head and saw the testimonies of the people from the silver building, all signed and sealed.
Gu Xiruo’s face turned pale, and she looked at Su Yu, her hands instinctively clenching. “Are you plotting against me?”
“Miss Gu, you overestimate yourself,” Su Yu said calmly.
“She’s an unmarried woman with a child. Why do you like her so much, to the extent of dealing with anyone who troubles her?” The Xie family was a typical example. Clearly, Wang Jinhe was only fit to marry a poor mountain dweller and live a life of poverty.
But she ended up pregnant with Su Yu’s child, and he found out. Not only did he find out, but he also disregarded everything and brought her home. At that time, Xie Yang’s status was much higher than Wang Jinhe’s, but Su Yu didn’t care and didn’t even consider her.
“You, who stole Xiao He’s life, are you even qualified to speak about her?” Su Yu scornfully spoke.
The least qualified to speak was actually Gu Xiruo.
“Your parents switched you two when Xiao He was young, and they even acknowledged her. If it weren’t for my in-laws finding her, she would have been dead long ago. You took everything from Xiao He and now you want her life. I have never seen such shamelessness in a woman like you.” Su Yu was still waiting for someone. This performance had to wait until everyone was present.
Yu Manxue looked at Gu Xiruo in astonishment. What did she just hear? Gu Xiruo wasn’t actually from the Gu family; it was Wang Jinhe?
Su Yu glanced at Yu Manxue, and the killing intent in his eyes made her forced smile stiffen.
“I didn’t hear anything, Prince Yu,” Yu Manxue said, not daring to provoke Su Yu at this moment.
Ignoring Yu Manxue, Su Yu continued to look at Gu Xiruo, who began to laugh maniacally. “Why didn’t those two idiots just kill her directly? They even let her have a chance to live.”
Even if you know everything, so what? Do you think the people from the Gu family will believe you?”
“Gu Yanqi believed,” Su Yu said with a sardonic smile.
At the mention of Gu Yanqi, a trace of malice flashed in Gu Xiruo’s eyes. She wouldn’t spare anyone who posed a threat to her.
“My parents won’t believe him. Even if you have evidence, even if you send over the clothes Wang Jinhe wore, what does it matter? In the end, it will still fall into my hands,” Gu Xiruo said mockingly.
Did they think that a piece of clothing would make Wang Jinhe go back? It’s simply a huge joke.
Yu Manxue stood nervously on the side, not daring to say a word, and not even wanting to listen to their conversation. Even if she was foolish, she knew that the more she knew, the faster she would die.
“Prince Yu, this matter has nothing to do with me. Can I… leave?” Yu Manxue asked Su Yu cautiously.
“Leave?” Su Yu finally turned his gaze to Yu Manxue.
At this point, these people are still so naive and ridiculous?
