Gu Qingfeng felt that what his mother said made a lot of sense.

If they were discovered immediately after they killed Gu Nanqiao, it would be very disadvantageous for them.

Once the investigation is led to him, there will be no way for him, the man who killed his father with his own hands, to escape.

So it’s better to let the body sink into the water first. When he sits on the position of Marquis of Pingyang in the future, it won’t matter if the body is discovered again.

Thinking of this, Gu Qingfeng immediately went to find a rope and stones and tied them to Gu Nanqiao's feet.

Then he pushed Gu Nanqiao's body into the water.

With the big rock there, Gu Nanqiao's body sank quickly.

After doing all this, Madam Gu Qingfeng and the others didn't know whether they should breathe a sigh of relief or be nervous.

The two people sat by the lotus pond for a long, long time.

The eldest lady said, "We did this very secretly, and no one discovered it. Qingfeng, you must remember to keep this secret. Otherwise, neither you nor I will survive, and you will never be able to inherit the title of Marquis of Pingyang. Do you understand?"

Even without the eldest lady saying anything, Gu Qingfeng also understood the seriousness of the matter.

He nodded: "I see. Tonight, both of us were in our respective yards and no one came out."

After the two finished talking, they went back.

No one knew that Gu Nanqiao was killed by them except Gu Lingshuang who saw it clearly.

Gu Lingshuang didn't hear anything and was enjoying eating the melon.

She doesn't even need to take the initiative to plot against the people in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion now, as this whole family is in chaos.

It's really interesting.

In the entire marquis's mansion, it seemed that only the second house, which had always been inconspicuous, was safe and sound.

Gu Lingshuang had no intention of plotting against the second wife because she had never hurt her.

The people in the second house have always been law-abiding and just live their own lives.

Gu Lingshuang found it funny. When the first wife and Aunt Zhao were both fighting each other, even the second wife probably didn't expect that they would benefit.

Gu Lingshuang watched the excitement for a while and then left.

She would go to the inn and sleep.

The entire capital city fell into deathly silence again.

On the second day, Xiao Ziming's angry curses were heard from the Xiaoyao Palace: "You are a bunch of useless things. What's the point of keeping you? You can't do anything. You might as well die."

The servants were scolded by him.

Everyone lowered their heads and no one dared to look up at Xiao Ziming.

Because they knew that ever since the prince lost his legs, his personality had undergone a 180-degree change, as if he had become a completely different person.

He is particularly irritable and uses a lot of swear words, which makes people feel very uncomfortable when listening to him.

But he has been in a good mood these days.

It seems that it is because he got a medicine that can relieve pain after taking it.

He hasn't had any leg pain in the past few days, so he is naturally in a very good mood.

However, after he finished taking the medicine, his legs started to hurt again.

He ordered his servants to find the person who gave him the medicine, but they didn't even know what the person looked like or what his name was, and they had never seen the person before. Where could they find him?

They couldn't find it, and were called useless. They felt so wronged.

Oh! It's so tiring to work under Xiao Ziming.

Even Zhufeng couldn't stand Xiao Ziming anymore. It was because Xiao Ziming had such a bad temper that sometimes he would even insult his personal bodyguard.

Just now, when he said that he had not found the woman, Xiao Ziming slapped him hard in the face.

This was a punishment he had never received before.

Although he is a guard, he has been doing his job conscientiously for so many years.

Should I be slapped hard in the face just because of a small mistake?

He was completely embarrassed in front of everyone.

Zhufeng felt extremely aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Go away, useless things. If you can't find that woman, don't come back."

Zhufeng was scolded a lot, but he didn't stay for long and just turned around and left.

Well, didn’t he say that he wouldn’t come back if he couldn’t find that woman?

It just so happened that he didn't want to be bullied, so he just left. What's the big deal?

There is no place for me to stay here, I have my own place to stay.

Zhufeng was strolling on the street.

When Gu Lingshuang saw his gloomy face, she knew that he must have been bullied in front of Xiao Ziming.

Sometimes she admired Zhufeng's loyalty.

, Xiao Ziming treated him like that, but he still stayed with Xiao Ziming. This shows that it is true love.

Gu Lingshuang, wearing a mask on her face, followed Zhufeng into a restaurant.

She sat down at the table next to Zhufeng.

Zhufeng started ordering food and didn't notice Gu Lingshuang at first.

But when Gu Lingshuang called the waiter to order food, he noticed it.

He was stunned for a moment, seeing that Gu Lingshuang was dressed very ordinary with a mask on her face.

His pupils shrank, and the prince only told them that the person who gave him the medicine was a woman, and that woman was wearing a mask.

Based on Xiao Ziming's description and comparing it with Gu Lingshuang's current appearance, Zhufeng felt that she might be the person the prince was looking for.

Before the food came, Zhufeng started chatting with Gu Lingshuang.

"Why is this girl wearing a mask?"

Gu Lingshuang just glanced at Zhufeng indifferently without saying anything.

Seeing her like this, Zhufeng thought she was very rude and couldn't help but frown.

Is this the kind of woman the prince likes?

Maybe the woman's face under the mask is extremely ugly. If she is a beauty, how could she wear a mask?

Zhu Feng laughed and said, "Is your face injured? Is that why you are wearing a mask?"

Gu Lingshuang felt amused and even wanted to ask her for help. It was really interesting.

"You don't need to mind your own business."

Seeing that she paid attention to him, Zhufeng was delighted.

As long as you are not dumb, it will be fine.

"I don't mean anything else. I just want to show some concern for you, girl. After all, getting hurt on the face is not a good thing for a girl. I'm a very kind person, and we have a doctor who can treat scars. If you don't mind, I can take you to get your face treated."

Gu Lingshuang said: "No need, I know medical skills myself. If I get hurt, I can treat myself."

|You know medicine?"

Zhufeng was pleasantly surprised. This was truly a pleasant surprise.

He was just skeptical just now, but now he is more sure.

"Of course I will. I am the only descendant of the miraculous doctor. I can guarantee that there is no one in the entire Great Xia Kingdom who has better medical skills than me."

Zhufeng thought she was bragging, but no matter whether she was bragging or not, he had to calm her down first.

It is very likely that she is the person the prince is looking for.

"Then do you know how to heal your legs?"

"It's not that difficult to treat a leg. Even if a leg is broken, I can reattach it. Moreover, if a leg is gone, I can make a prosthesis."

Zhufeng opened his mouth wide in surprise. Now he was completely sure that this woman should be the one the prince was looking for.

He immediately stood up and walked to Gu Lingshuang.

"Divine Doctor, I have an unreasonable request, I hope you can agree to it."
