Zhu Zhengsong's face was pale, and the cold sweat on his forehead slid downwards, which made him feel worse. For some reason, it was clearly the hot summer weather, but he felt that his whole body was as cold as winter.

After nearly ten years, he felt that death was really close.

For so many years, he had a soft pillow with a soft jade and a warm fragrance in his arms. He had both glory and wealth, and had everything. He thought that the adventure many years ago could save all this until the end until the secret was brought into the coffin.

But now, he looked at his daughter in front of him whom he had disdained for, feeling powerless and scared.

"I don't know..." Zhu Zhengsong was a little disappointed. Facing Zhu Yuan's step-by-step pressing, he had no power to resist, so he could only keep retreating.

Zhu Yuan stood opposite him, looking coldly at his back against the wall, in a gesture of being unable to resist, sighed softly and said, "I know this secret must be amazing, so you need to cover it up with so many lives. But any secret is in danger of being revealed. You have been pushed out by the Sheng family to take the blame. I advise you to think about it carefully, should you continue to live a life of mercy or to die bravely for the Sheng family?"

Zhu Zhengsong couldn't answer, and Zhu Yuan's word "death" was like a sharp knife stabbed into his heart, and he couldn't resist it.

Want to die?

Of course he didn't want to die. If he wanted to die, he wouldn't have abandoned Zhu Yuan's mother with Sheng back then.

He remembered what happened back then, widened his eyes and trembled all over, and looked at Zhu Yuan coldly with all his might: "What do you know?! You don't understand at all! If I say it, I will die and will die without a place to bury!"

Zhu Yuan was frustrated, but he didn't mean any anger. She tskated and sat on the chair, looking at Zhu Zhengsong with a subtle smile, and said softly: "Does Lord Zhu know? Hong'er, who knew about this, died. Do you know who killed her? It's Feng Kun...... The complex and complicated kin forces you are proud of are now coincidental, and they are all tied together. Since you enjoy the glory and wealth together, you must also go to the underworld in the future. This is what it means to be a neat family, right?"

Zhu Zhengsong's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were in pain. After looking at Zhu Yuan for a while, his fear in his heart increased.

He was only sad now that every word Zhu Yuan said came true. She said that if someone wanted to die, she would have to die. She said that if someone wanted to die, she would have to avenge Fu.

And what conditions can be taken out and exchanged with Zhu Yuan and let her spare her life?

The answer seems to be unquestionable.

What Zhu Yuan hated even more was the Sheng family, the initiator.

As long as he tells what the Sheng family has done, as long as he tells it...

But it’s not ten years ago. If he said it, how could another Sheng family stand up to protect his glory and wealth?

Zhu Yuan?

At most, she could only spare him one life, and it was impossible for her to give him any extra things. When the matter was over, she might even step on him.

He was in a painful tangle.

Gu Chuanjie was also in pain and entanglement.

When things got to this point, he had no other way except to listen to his father's words and withdraw in time.

But the bad thing is that although Gu Mingzhang, as the Minister of Revenue, is not qualified to understand the whole story of the case of the Master Shengge. Although Gu Mingzhang has almost used up his connections, he still cannot know more detailed information.

This makes them even more precarious now.

If Chang Ying and Ge Lao Sheng also recruited them as their accomplices...

Then the glory of the three ministers of the Gu family ends here.

Even Mrs. Gu, who has always been arrogant, was shaken. She pulled Gu Chuanjie and asked him to be inferior to Zhu Yuan. As for the marriage, she cried and said, "The palace has not yet given a marriage order. The words said by the fifth prince may not have touched the emperor and the empress dowager. Since he can't marry Zhu Yuan, then you should continue to apologize to Zhu Yuan. I will personally invite the Hou Gongshun to propose marriage..."

This can be considered a sufficient face for Zhu Yuan.

For Mrs. Gu, I don’t know how much concessions this is——How wrong would it be to have a woman who others don’t like and who actually don’t like her family?

She has made such a great sacrifice. If Zhu Yuan still refuses to agree, then would she really be foolish in thinking that she can marry the prince and become the prince's concubine?

Gu Chuanjie was so annoyed by his mother that his mind has finally been useful since he was reborn. He frowned and shook his head, and said rationally: "No, Zhu Yuan will not agree, and you can't go to her anymore."

If she doesn't look for her, she may still not remember the Gu family. Once she angers her, what can such a lunatic do?

Mrs. Gu cried: "What else can I do? Your father's account is still empty now... If the matter breaks out and checks, the lives of more than 100 people in our Gu family will not be enough to fill in!"

"At present, there is only one way." Gu Chuanjie held his mother's hand, took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "We have a last way."

Mrs. Gu was stunned. Seeing his firm eyes and decisive expression, she asked in surprise: "What's the solution?"

"Mr. Gongshun, Wu Shun, his daughter is now sixteen years old." Gu Chuanjie closed his eyes and opened it again: "I'm sorry to ask my mother to propose marriage to me."

Mrs. Gu couldn't react a little, and when she reacted, she argued excitedly: "How can this be done? Gongshunhou's daughter is not good at it, and it is difficult for her to stand up and walk. How can such a girl be your wife and the clan wife of our Gu family?!"

"What other ways are there?" Gu Chuanjie immediately interrupted her and said firmly: "Mr. Gongshun Wu Shun is a confidant of the emperor, and his mother is the emperor's wet nurse. The emperor has always treated him with kindness. If his daughter had not had such a problem, how could she be my turn at this time? Those who accomplish great things are not limited to small matters. Now we have no way out, so we can only try and don't hesitate anymore. Mother, this is our only chance."

Mrs. Gu felt desperate: "But isn't it too wrong for you?"
