The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 383
Zhu Manniang ran out of the manor with the box in her arms, panting within two steps.

The box is full of land deeds and house deeds, all of which are paper, plus the weight of the box itself, it is not light. It is impossible for a woman like Zhu Manniang to walk like flying with her in her arms.

She soon discovered the problem, so she took off her coat, twisted it into a rope as a strap, and wanted to put the suitcase on her back and leave.

Zhu Manniang didn't realize that in the darkness not far away, Wang Gang and Gu Tingye stood together, watching her movements.

Gu Tingye is very disappointed now, he never thought that Zhu Manniang would abandon him and the children and leave alone for money.

"I'll go and get her back." Gu Tingye couldn't bear it anymore, and wanted to go forward and grab Zhu Manniang.

Wang Gang stopped Gu Tingye and said, "She must not be able to run very far with such a heavy box. Let's see where she is going?"

Gu Tingye didn't want to play anymore, it's really not fun to test human nature.

But Wang Gang insisted again and again, he could only follow Zhu Manniang secretly.

Zhu Manniang walked a long way with the suitcase on her back, but fortunately, this place is in the outskirts of Bianjing City, so it is relatively safe.

But after walking all the way, Zhu Manniang's footsteps were already swaying, and she was very physically exhausted.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, Zhu Manniang came to a desolate place with a faint light ahead.

It was a cabin hidden in the woods, and it was supposed to be inhabited.

Zhu Manniang walked into the room with ease, and then yelled.

"Come out and pick up the box, I'm exhausted."

A man in his thirties came out of the room, dressed plainly, and he was not surprised when he saw Zhu Manniang.

"Why are you here at this hour?" The man frowned when he saw Zhu Manniang.

Zhu Manniang was sweating profusely, sat on the chair, panting, "Is there any water?"

The man poured Zhu Manniang a glass of water, and Zhu Manniang drank it with her head up. After drinking, she put the tea bowl on the table and said with a smile:
"Brother, we made a fortune this time."

It turns out that the man is Zhu Manniang's eldest brother Zhu Wu.

Gu Tingye, who was hiding outside the room, was stunned the moment he saw Zhu Wu.

Gu Tingye naturally knew Zhu Wu. When he first got acquainted with Zhu Manniang, Zhu Wu cheated his sister of all her money, and later heard that she died on the way.

Zhu Manniang had no money and no relatives, so she turned to Gu Tingye when she was desperate.

Gu Tingye saw that Zhu Manniang was pitiful, so he took her in. Later, the two of them secretly got married, and what happened later.

Zhu Wu is not dead now, and it seems that he has always been in contact with Zhu Manniang. With Gu Tingye's ingenuity, he immediately thought that when Zhu Manniang took refuge in him, it was simply a game between the two brothers and sisters.

Thinking about it now, Zhu Manniang had premeditated when she got close to her.

Wang Gang held Gu Tingye down, told him to calm down, and read on.

In the house, Zhu Manniang told Zhu Wu what happened in Ningyuan Hou's Mansion.

"So Gu Tingye's family has suffered a catastrophe, and the whole family may be implicated." Zhu Wu said in shock.

"Isn't that right! In this situation, I don't want to run away, so why don't I stay and die with Gu?"

Zhu Wu nodded and said: "You're right, it's a pity that we have wasted so much effort, and the bamboo basket fetched water in vain."

Zhu Manniang laughed and said, "It's not that I've gained nothing."

Zhu Wu was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at the box that Zhu Manniang brought.

Zhu Manniang opened the box and said, "This is all of Gu Tingye's family property. He originally entrusted his property and children to a friend, so I took the opportunity to steal it out."

When Zhu Wu saw the title deed in the box, his eyes lit up.

"How much is this worth!?" Zhu Wu casually picked up a land deed and exclaimed.

"It's enough for us to eat for several lifetimes." Zhu Manniang said proudly.

Zhu Wu nodded, with greed in his eyes.

"Mannia, where are your two children?" Zhu Wu asked suddenly.

Zhu Manniang said indifferently: "The child is by Gu Tingye's side."

Zhu Wu was surprised: "You didn't bring your child?"

"Why bring children? It's still a burden to take them!" Zhu Manniang said.

Zhu Wu frowned and said, "After all, it's your own flesh and blood. Why don't we find a way to bring the child back? With this money, we won't have to worry about it for the rest of our lives."

Zhu Manniang said: "When I gave birth to that child, I also wanted to tie up Gu Tingye. Now that Gu Tingye has collapsed, why do I need a child?"

Zhu Wu was surprised and said: "This is not good!"

"There's nothing wrong with it, let Gu Tingye continue to raise his cheap son." Zhu Manniang only has money in her eyes now, so she can't care about her own flesh and blood.

Gu Tingye who was outside the house couldn't listen anymore and kicked open the door.

"What do you mean by that, what a cheap son." Gu Tingye rushed into the room angrily, and roared at Zhu Manniang.

Zhu Manniang and Zhu Wu were taken aback when they saw Gu Tingye appearing suddenly, and the siblings subconsciously protected the box.

Gu Tingye pulled Zhu Manniang over, and Zhu Wu picked up the box and wanted to run away.

"Brother, save me." Zhu Manniang called to Zhu Wu.

Zhu Wu pretended not to hear when he heard it, and wanted to jump out of the window and run while holding the box.

How could Wang Gang give him this chance, picked up a stool and threw it at Zhu Wu.

boom.

Zhu Wu's back was hit, and he couldn't stand anymore. He fell down directly, but when he fell to the ground, he hugged the box tightly.

Wang Gang just kicked up, and only heard a "click", Zhu Wu's leg was broken, and he was crying all over the ground in pain.

On the other side, Gu Tingye questioned Zhu Manniang: "I have been so kind to you, I have given you my whole heart, why did you treat me like this?"

Zhu Manniang's wrist hurt from being grabbed by Gu Tingye, and she kept begging for mercy, but when she met Gu Tingye's red eyes, she suddenly stopped begging.

"Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes. Do you really want me to die with you?" Zhu Manniang stood up confidently and said to Gu Tingye.

"You want to leave, I don't blame you, you stole the cash box, I don't blame you, but why did you leave Sister Rong and Brother Chang behind, they are your own flesh and blood!" Gu Tingye said sadly.

"Officer, since you have discovered everything, I won't pretend anymore." Zhu Manniang wiped away her tears and said calmly:
"I only want to get close to you to enter the Marquis's mansion to enjoy wealth and honor. My sister Huai Rong and brother Huai Chang are all means to tie you down."

Gu Tingye trembled all over, and was so angry that he wanted to slap Zhu Manniang to death.

But when he remembered that she was the mother of his children, Gu Tingye felt a little soft-hearted for a moment, and couldn't help but let go of Zhu Manniang.

Wang Gang took back Gu Tingye's cash box and said to Zhu Manniang, "Just now you said that you let Lao Gu take care of his cheap son. Isn't Brother Chang the son of Lao Gu?"

Gu Tingye was shocked.

Zhu Manniang suddenly shouted: "Brother Chang is Gu Tingye's son, who dares to say he is not."

Wang Gang ignored Zhu Manniang at all, instead ran to Zhu Wu's side and stepped on his broken leg.

"Ah!" Zhu Wu screamed in pain, repeatedly begging for mercy.

"Master, please forgive me! Everything is Zhu Manniang's idea, it has nothing to do with me!" Zhu Wu begged for mercy.

"If you want to suffer less, tell us the truth!" Wang Gang said harshly.

Zhu Manniang was worried about what Zhu Wu would say, so she quickly begged Gu Tingye: "Officer, please let my brother go!"

Gu Tingye's mind was in a mess right now, and he couldn't think normally at all.

Wang Gang said at this time: "Old Gu, pull Zhu Manniang aside, and I will interrogate Zhu Wu."

Zhu Manniang wanted to beg Gu Tingye, but Wang Gang was already impatient, so he knocked Zhu Manniang unconscious with his palm, not giving her a chance to pretend to be pitiful.

Next, Wang Gang tried his best to extract a confession from Zhu Wu, and finally got the truth out of him.

It turned out that when Zhu Manniang approached Gu Tingye, she had harbored ill intentions for a long time. She liked Gu Tingye's status as the son of the Marquis, so she played a good show with her elder brother Zhu Wu to win Gu Tingye's sympathy.

After Gu Tingye took in Zhu Manniang, she tried her best to trick Gu Tingye into bed.

Originally, Zhu Manniang thought that if raw rice was cooked, it would be able to enter the Marquis Mansion.

As a result, Gu Yankai didn't like Zhu Manniang at all, and insisted on not letting her in.

In order to tie Gu Tingye, Zhu Manniang has been pretending to be virtuous and virtuous, and even tried hard to have a child, preferably a son.

It's a pity that God's wishes failed. Zhu Manniang gave birth to a daughter in her first birth, that is, Sister Rong.

After having Sister Rong, Gu Tingye's temperament changed drastically, and he became extremely motivated. He studied poetry and books all day long, and gradually left Zhu Manniang in the cold.

Zhu Manniang wanted to have a son with all her heart, but Gu Tingye didn't cooperate, and then she became confused.

Anyway, she just wanted a son, it didn't matter if it was Gu Tingye's or not.

Zhu Manniang asked her eldest brother Zhu Wu to help him find a man outside, and finally became pregnant with Brother Chang.

After Gu Tingye is happy to be a father, he really treats Zhu Manniang better.

After Zhu Wu confided everything, Gu Tingye almost fainted.

The wife who thought she had deep affection for him was simply a vicious villain with no feelings at all.

Now even the son is not his own!

Gu Tingye's mood at this time can only be described as despair.
