Chapter 42: Sell to brothel for a few drinks

Gu Yunru's imposing gaze made several bandit feel uneasy.

One of the muscular men with tattoos on his back walked arrogantly to Gu Yunru and removed the cloth from her mouth.

"Who are you? Why did you kidnap me?" Gu Yunru thought for a while and realized that they might be enemies of Rong Zhen. But it was unlucky for her to be targeted as soon as she left the palace.

"who you think we are. Can't you tell?" The muscular man joked and laughed. The other little bandits came over, saying,

"Miss Gu from the Gu family is delicate and pretty. Her face is also very beautiful."

Gu Yunru looked at their greedy eyes and only then did she realize that her veil was long gone.

"I warn you not to have any ideas, or when Ah Zhao comes, he'll destroy all of you!" Gu Yunru warned them with a fierce tone.

"Oh, it looks like you two have a good relationship. In that case, I can confirm that Rong Zhen will definitely come," the muscular man said with a chuckle.

After he finished speaking, he sat back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said, "San, did you deliver the letter to the Zhao Wang Mansion?"

"Don't worry, the letter has been delivered," San replied.

"That's good! I don't believe that this kid won't come to rescue his beautiful wife."

The muscular man laughed loudly and arrogantly.

Gu Yunru watched them eating and drinking heartily, without any concern about impending danger. Thinking that she wouldn't benefit from confronting them head-on, she softened her attitude.

"A few good men, could you please loosen my bindings? I haven't eaten anything all day, and you guys are eating meat and drinking in front of me. I'm really craving it..."

As soon as Gu Yunru finished speaking, her stomach growled loudly. The men burst into laughter and gave her a small piece of chicken to eat.

"A few good men, could you please loosen my bindings first? You have so many people, are you still afraid of me, a weak woman?"

Gu Yunru kept disarming them, and the arrogant men finally reacted. They weren't afraid that Gu Yunru would cause any trouble, so they loosened her bindings.

"Warning you not to play any tricks, or else your delicate little face won't be able to stay intact."

Gu Yunru smiled and sat beside the table. The bandit leader didn't say anything.

"I say, guys, your plan is really good. Have you been brewing it for a long time?" Gu Yunru tried to find out their true intentions, whether they were after Rong Zhen or after her.

"You nosy little thing, don't ask any more questions, or else we'll seal your mouth shut."

One of the big men had an evil and fierce face that could make a child cry.

Gu Yunru pouted and said, "I'm just curious. Besides, you guys have a lot of courage to bring me here in the capital."

"What's that dog emperor? He's nothing in my eyes."

"Yeah, that's right. The dog emperor isn't even fit to be our big brother's shoeshine boy!"

The men continued to boast endlessly, and it was difficult for Gu Yunru to have a smooth conversation with them.

In the Wang mansion, a little beggar threw an envelope by the door, knocked on it, and ran away.

Qingyu opened the door, but there was nothing there. The street was dark, and there was no one in sight.

Seeing a letter lying on the ground, the curious Qingxi picked it up, looked around to make sure there was no one around, and went back to the house. The content of the letter was for Rongzhen to go there in person, and he had to go alone.

Qingyu quickly burned the envelope when she saw it. She wouldn't let the prince go on an adventure alone. If that woman died in the hands of the mountain bandit leader, it would be just what she wanted.

Two or three days passed, and Rongzhen still hadn't found any news of Gu Yunru.

Qingxing returned to the Gu Mansion and told Madam Gu about the news of the young lady being kidnapped.

Gu Junyao stood beside Madam Gu, squeezing her shoulders. When she heard the news, there was an uncontrollable smile on her face.

"Madam, please send more people out to find her. The eldest miss will surely encounter danger alone outside," Qingxing pleaded with tears in her eyes, kowtowing.

Madam Gu's face showed no other expression.

"It's been so many days since she disappeared. Even if she is found, it will be a pile of bones." Gu Junyao said coldly on the side. Qingxi listened and felt regretful.

She shouldn't have come back to ask Madam Gu to make a decision. She didn't expect that ignoring this matter was not enough. She even added insult to injury.

"Second Miss, how can you say such things? Although the eldest miss didn't grow up with you, she is still your sister" Qingxing couldn't help but retort for Gu Yunru.

Gu Junyao approached her with a stern face and slapped her hard on the face. She arrogantly said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you come and teach me a lesson?"

Madam Gu had a headache and rubbed her forehead, looking at Gu Junyao and saying, "Alright Junyao, why argue with a lowly maid?"

"Mother, I just don't like Gu Yunru. Even her maid is so arrogant," Gu Junyao said through gritted teeth, and an evil thought flashed through her mind as she looked at Qingxings still somewhat delicate face.

She grabbed Qingxings chin and said, "Your life belongs to the Gu Mansion. Now that your mistress is gone, you are of no use here."

Qingxing knelt on the ground, holding onto her skirt and tears streaming down her face, but in the eyes of Gu Junyao, it was extremely ironic.

"Get out of here! You're just a dog raised by the Gu family. How dare you try to bargain with me!"

Gu Junyao narrowed her eyes viciously and called for the steward Lai Fu.

"Take her to the brothel and use the money to buy yourself some drinks."

After hearing this, Lai Fu felt a bit uneasy and said, "Miss Er, Qingxing is Miss Gu's personal maid. We still don't know how Miss Gu is doing right now. Is this really a good idea?"

"You dare to go against me too? You're just a worthless thing. If you don't obey me, I'll fire you immediately!"

Lai Fu was frightened by her fierce attitude and had no choice but to have Qingxing dragged away.

Madam Gu was indifferent to all of this. She just wanted to know how Gu Yunru was doing, even if she was already dead.

"Mother, what's wrong with you? You look worried. Shouldn't you be happy instead?"

Gu Junyao turned her head and changed her expression to a gentle smile.

"I'm just a little worried, I don't know how that girl is doing."

"Don't worry, those bandits are not ordinary bandits. They all fled back from beyond the Boarder and have an unquenchable hatred with Rongzhen. I had someone leave a message, so they took Gu Yunru away. It's been so many days and still no news, she's probably dead."

Madam Gu frowned and took Gu Junyao's hand, saying, "Didn't we agree to just scare her? If someone really dies, who will marry Rongzhen for you?"




Note:

Which title you prefer to read? Prince Zhao or Wangye?

In my case I prefer to Wangye as it gives me a sense of historical feelings
