“Eh, Fifth Prince, are you alright?” Gu Zhixin reached out to support him.
“I’m fine!” Qitian Yu got up, furrowed his brows, pushed Gu Zhixin away, and glanced behind him.
There was nothing there except the threshold.
Could it be that he stumbled when crossing the threshold?
He scanned the people expressionlessly. “Keep your mouths shut.”
“Yes, Your Highness!” they replied.
Qitian Yu looked at Gu Zhixin.
The latter immediately declared, “1 didn’t see anything.”
Qitian Yu snorted and turned to descend the steps.
Watching the departing carriage, Gu Zhixin let out a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat off his forehead but accidentally touched his wound, causing him to wince in pain.
“You ruthless girl! You really showed no mercy! When Elder Brother comes out of seclusion, he will definitely teach you a lesson.”
A gust of wind suddenly swept toward his back.
Caught off guard, Gu Zhixin fell to the ground face-first.
The pain made him grit his teeth. With the help of his servants, he was lifted up, cursing under his breath, “Which bastard attacked me from behind?”
“Second Young Master, there’s no one here!”
“Nonsense! How can there be no one? Am I supposed to believe that I tripped and fell like this?” Gu Zhixin pointed angrily at his forehead.
A house servant cautiously looked around. “Just now, the Fifth Prince inexplicably stumbled. Could there be ghosts here?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. How can there be ghosts in broad daylight?”
Gu Zhixin reprimanded sharply.
Although he himself felt a chill on his back, he didn’t dare linger and quickly walked towards his own carriage.
From behind a potted plant in the courtyard beyond the main gate, Feng Yuanxi rose to his feet. Observing the hurried figure, he wore a grin on his face. “Xiao Hei, take a look at them. They possess such feeble courage, daring to mistreat Mother even in their current state. They are unaware of their own limitations!”
Xiao Hei, the little black snake, crawled out from his sleeve and nodded in agreement.
Exactly! Exactly!
The young master had taught them a good lesson!
After venting his anger, Feng Yuanxi thought of Gu Qingluan and quickly headed for the back courtyard. “I’m going back to find Mother. Xiao Hei, remember to hide well and don’t let Mother see you.”
Gu Zhixin returned to the main residence of the Gu family and instructed Steward Wang to retrieve one million taels of gold to invite Mr. Liu to save Wang Shi.
Steward Wang hesitated. “Previously, the master depleted all the funds to purchase the Universe Stabilizer Pill. There is now only a limited amount of silver remaining in the account.”
“How much is left?”
“There’s only a few hundred thousand taels… of silver.”
“Only a few hundred thousand taels left? How is that possible? What happened to all the money we took from the Jun family back then?”
“In recent years, the masters had extravagant spending habits, coupled with mismanagement. They lived off their past achievements, and our funds have dwindled. This time, to snatch the Universe Stabilizer Pill from so many people at the auction, they spent one thousand eight hundred Xuanling Crystal Hearts. So there’s not much left.” “And one hundred of those Xuanling Crystal Hearts belong to me!” Gu Zhixin fumed.
So, he wouldn’t be able to get back those one hundred Xuanling Crystal Hearts in a short time?
Gu Zhixin took a deep breath, barely suppressing his anger. “What about the treasury? Over the years, with the Gu family’s collection combined with the Jun family’s, there must be quite a few treasures, right?”
“They’re gone too.”
“How could they be gone?”
Gu Zhixin never expected that his eldest brother, as the head of the family, had squandered everything.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Gu family, which once stood in the zenith, was now a destitute family on the brink of bankruptcy!
“Well… Miss Lingxue went to the Qiankun Academy, and the master and Madam were worried. They sold the family assets to provide for her.”
Gu Zhixin’s vision turned black.
So, everything the Gu family had was swallowed up by his elder brother’s two “beloved daughters”!
Although the one thousand eight hundred Xuanling Crystal Hearts were used to purchase the Universe Stabilizer Pill from the Island of No Return, Gu Qingluan and Mr. Liu had long conspired together. Otherwise, with their intentions toward Mr. Liu, he would have become an esteemed guest of the Gu family. It was possible that they could have obtained the Universe Stabilizer Pill at a lower price.
“Second Young Master, can’t you come up with some funds from your side? Regardless, we must save Madam Wang.” Steward Wang said.
“I don’t have any money left! 1 lent it all to my elder brother at the auction!” Gu Zhixin fumed, his voice filled with anger.
“This… What should we do? Madam Wang’s condition has worsened. The palace physician said she may not survive tonight..”
