After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me-Chapter 429: Is Cain Alive

Shen Ruxu clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips digging into her palms, her eyes slightly red, and coldly laughed, "Let me tell you, don't regret it, you don't really think you can dictate my life, do you?"

"Oh? Does Miss Shen have any other tricks up her sleeve?"

"You can wait and see."

"Oh? Let's hear what Miss Shen has to say."

Shen Ruxu was choked up, almost exposing herself, "If you want to trick me into talking, forget it."

Gu Ying looked at her disdainfully, took Yin Lan with him and walked out, his eyes also turning cold.

"Yin Lan, have someone keep a close eye on her. After my provocation just now, she will surely act desperately."

Yin Lan held an umbrella over Gu Ying's head, with a worried look on her face, "Mistress, even Su Louzhu's people can't find Haitang, could Haitang really have been killed by Shen Ruxu?"

Gu Ying's face was solemn, "I'm afraid the odds are against us."

Yin Lan was puzzled, "But Shen Ruxu doesn't have much power in Bianjing, and has no other backer besides the Duke's mansion, how could she have made Haitang disappear without a trace?"

Gu Ying stopped in her tracks, "There is another possibility."

Yin Lan's brows furrowed slightly, "What?"

The sky was gloomy and dark, with lightning flashing across the horizon, tearing open the murky curtain of the sky.

The thick dark clouds kept rolling, and the cold wind roared. The thunder grew louder and louder, as if exploding overhead.

Gu Ying's chest felt stuffy, her fingertips trembling slightly. After a long while, she choked out, "Jiang Yin is still alive." 𝘧𝑟𝓮𝓮𝓌𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝑚

Only if Jiang Yin is still alive, can all this be reasonably explained.

Mu Nanfeng taking Gu Shuang away, finding Xiao Gutou, using Xiao Gutou to spread rumors, leading her to investigate and discover Xiao Gutou, then pairing Shang Jiao with Fu Xun - all of this was controlled and manipulated by someone hidden in the shadows.

This invisible hand stirring up storms, just to get everything back on track.

Fu Xunzhi and Shang Jiao, Mu Nanfeng and Gu Shuang, and Xiao Gutou... these were all people they knew in their previous lives.

The more Gu Ying thought about it, the paler her face became, her frozen body began to tremble.

If... if her guess was right, then next Jiang Yin would grab her, kill the child in her belly, cripple her, and throw her into a dilapidated temple!

Yin Lan was increasingly puzzled. Jiang Yin had no relationship with Shen Ruxu. A person who had already died in Yueyang City could not have appeared in Bianjing.

Moreover, Jiang Yin was only the sister-in-law of the mistress...

Why was the mistress still unable to let go of Jiang Yin... If the prince knew about this... the prince would surely be jealous.

"Mistress... I think..."

Gu Ying's eyes turned red, her panicked and uneasy heart shook violently, "Yin Lan..."

Seeing the ugly look on her mistress' face, Yin Lan quickly said, "I'm here, mistress, I'm here. What's wrong?"

Gu Ying's brows furrowed deeply, and she grabbed Yin Lan's arm tightly. Her temples throbbed with pain. "Send someone to see where my grandfather's family is now, whether they are safe."

Yin Lan quickly nodded, "Alright, I'll go right away."

Gu Ying was inexplicably panicked, although she had not confirmed that it was Jiang Yin manipulating things behind the scenes, a very strong intuition told her that Jiang Yin must still be alive!

Especially since his corpse had just disappeared in Yueyang, and Jiang Ling'er and Madame Jiang in Bianjing were also missing, this strongly suggested something was going on!

She had to respond quickly, otherwise all her loved ones would suffer the same fate again!

...

After leaving the Duke's mansion, Gu Ying got directly into the carriage.

Returning to the Censorate, she called out all the Kirin troops the prince had left to protect her.

Twenty men in total, the prince's trump card, now standing respectfully in the courtyard of Qinghe Garden awaiting orders.

She sat in a chair, silently calculating in her mind everyone she needed to protect.

Fourth sister had cousin looking after her, no need to worry too much about aunt and uncle, assign one person each. Must also assign someone to grandfather's side so she could keep up with news from Haizhou at all times. Ah Ning's health was weak, Ah Xun still quite naive, these two also needed to be secretly protected by one person each. But grandfather didn't know how dangerous Jiang Yin was, she had to quickly write him a letter to warn them to be vigilant of anyone surnamed Jiang.

The sky grew darker and darker. She had been sitting here silently for nearly an hour.

The longer she sat, the calmer she became.

If Jiang Yin was still alive, and silently plotting against her in the shadows, then she could not just wait for her demise either.

Ye Zhuojiang hummed a tune, threw his horse whip to a servant boy, and strode briskly into Qinghe Garden. Seeing the scene in the yard, he was startled.

After reacting, and seeing the lonely figure sitting under the eaves, his heart ached. He walked over quickly, crouched down and said, "Ah Rong, why are you sitting here? You don't look too happy, did I offend you somewhere? If I hurt your feelings, you have to tell me, if Er Chi finds out and tells uncle, I'll be done for!"

Gu Ying moved her stiff eyes, staring blankly at Ye Zhuojiang's lively handsome face for a long time, before giving a faint smile. "I'm fine, Jiang Jiang."

"Tsk, call me uncle!"

Gu Ying smiled, "Jiang Jiang."

Seeing her forced smile, Ye Zhuojiang said worriedly, "But you don't look alright at all!"

Gu Ying let out a helpless sigh, "Is that so?"

Ye Zhuojiang nodded, "Did someone bully you? Tell me, I'll go beat him up!"

Gu Ying shook her head, falling silent again. In fact, she was not afraid that Jiang Yin was still alive.

Even if he was alive, she just had to kill him again.

This time, she must watch him die with her own eyes!

Ye Zhuojiang was extremely anxious, unable to get it out of her, but could do nothing about it, only quietly accompanying her.

Until Su He came in the rain, glanced at the Kirin troops in the yard, and said to Gu Ying, "Sister-in-law, found it."

Gu Ying's eyes lit up in an instant, regaining her senses, "Come in and talk."

Su He nodded, the two went into the room. Ye Zhuojiang followed along without thinking.

Su He had wanted to chase him out, but Gu Ying said, "Su He, let him in."

Su He pouted, but didn't say anything more. After all, the pregnant one had the final say, this girl had Er Chi's son in her belly, he didn't dare defy her.

Inside the room, the three sat down.

Gu Ying said, "Jiang Jiang is one of us, no need to avoid him."

Su He paused, then directly said, "Previously, Mu Nanfeng said he saw Shen Ruxu often going to the East Market, this time, my men finally tailed her."

Gu Ying's heart shook, "What happened?"

Su He's eyes had mostly recovered, bright and spirited, he said, "She went to the Chu Residence in Pear Blossom Alley."

Gu Ying's brows furrowed slightly, "Chu Residence?"

Su He said, "Yes, there lives a family surnamed Chu, heavily guarded, unable to get close. My men didn't dare startle the snake in the grass for now, so could only observe from afar. Sister-in-law, are you interested in this Chu character? Want me to send people to break in and drag him out?"
