"Master, please let Madam Zhu go. She is my dowry madam and she grew up with me..."

Minister Gu spoke angrily after listening to Gu Zhu's crying and begging.

"At this point, you still won't say anything? If you don't, I'll keep fighting you. When will you surrender? When will you stop?"

"Master, please don't. Please stop hitting me."

Gu Zhu knelt down and begged Minister Gu.

Minister Gu ignored Gu Zhu. He let Nanny Zhu go today, but if the matter got out of hand, who would let him go?

"Keep fighting."

"Yes."

The servants continued to beat Nanny Zhu.

After being beaten with twenty sticks, Madam Zhu's clothes were soaked with blood, and the sound was much quieter than before.

"Madam." Nanny Zhu looked at Zhu, her eyes full of pleading.

"Master, please stop hitting me. Please let Madam Zhu go. Master, please..."

Zhu continued to cry and beg.

Minister Gu bids farewell to Mrs. Gu Zhu.

Gu Zhu just sent someone to look for Gu Qing.

Gu Qing heard the news and rushed over.

"father."

Hearing his son's voice, Minister Gu looked over coldly.

"What's going on? What did Aunt Zhu do wrong?"

Hearing his son's words, Minister Gu sneered. He knew that Zhu had sent someone to call the legitimate son over.

"What's wrong? Ask your mother what she has done to anger the heaven and the people."

Zhu knelt on the ground and looked at her son.

"Qing'er, mother really doesn't know. Please beg your father to let Madam Zhu go..."

At this time, the courtyard was full of Minister Gu's confidants. Gu Qing looked at his father and said.

"Father, Nanny Zhu is old. If you have anything to say, just ask her directly. She will definitely tell you the truth. Don't beat her anymore."

Gu Qing saw that Nanny Zhu’s face was pale and she was dying. If the beating continued, Nanny Zhu might not survive.

"If you don't tell the truth, I will keep beating you..." Minister Gu was ruthless today. If Madam Zhu didn't tell the truth, he would beat her to death.

He wanted to see how hard Madam Zhu's mouth was.

"Father."

Gu Qing looked at his father. He didn’t expect that his father would be so powerful today.

"If you say one more word, you'll get out."

Minister Gu said angrily.

What time is it now and Gu Qing is actually pleading with Nanny Zhu.

"Father, what's going on?"

Minister Gu looked at Gu Zhushi and said.

"Let her speak."

When Mrs. Gu Zhu heard what Minister Gu said, she looked at her son and said.

"Qing'er, mother is innocent. It was those two shopkeepers who colluded with outsiders. They made mistakes outside..."

Gu Zhu blamed all these things on the few people who ran away. She would never admit this matter.

Gu Qing also knew about the usury issue. Now that he heard his mother talking about the usury issue, he became a little nervous.

"Father, mother has been working hard for the family for so many years, raising my son and sister, and taking care of my grandmother. Mother would never dare to do something like this... She must have been wronged..."

When Minister Gu heard his son say this, he didn't believe it and continued to look at Zhu.

After hearing what her son said, Zhu felt more confident.

"Master, my heart is with you. I will never do anything to harm you or the mansion. I am really wronged..."

Seeing that his father didn't say anything, Gu Qing quickly looked at the servants who were beating people.

"Stop it, don't fight."

By this time, he had already been hit with thirty sticks.

When the two servants heard the eldest young master's words, they stopped and looked at Minister Gu.
