Guide to raise my cutie husbands

Chapter 1271 The truth

Kong Tai stiffened when he heard Lin Jing's stern voice. He knew that this mer was really sharp but he didn't think that he would be this sharp, Lin Jing was able to catch something amiss with just one word from him!

"What do you mean? What did I do?" Kong Tai covered his mouth and then sobbed pitifully. "I just don't want my daughter to be disturbed anymore. Didn't you see what happened a few days ago? Her name was dragged through the mud and that incident even caused her to lose all her reputation. I just want to make sure that my daughter rests in peace."

After he was done speaking he turned to look at Gu Zedong and complained, "My lady, the entire town is cursing our daughter if we drag the matter of her murder in public then instead of sympathising with her they would drag her through the mud. They will say that it was what our daughter deserved, is it something that we should allow to happen?"

Once he was finished speaking he started to sob even more harshly. Kong Tai was really worried that the matter would be investigated, if Gu Ke Jin and Lin Jing found out that his daughter attacked Yu Dong's mers, they would never let him live in peace.

Gu Zedong felt her heartache when she saw Kong Tai cry so wretchedly. She hugged him and then patted him on the back before raising her head and glaring at Lin Jing. She said angrily, "Lin Jing, I know that you do not like Tai Tai, but you should at least let him grieve in peace. Why are you quibbling with him in this scenario? Can you not even let him have his peace in this situation?

How heartless are you?"

"Mother, you——" Gu Ke Jin stepped forward to speak up for her father but she was stopped by Old Madam Gu. The elderly woman stepped forward and then stated coldly, "If this is my will, will you call me heartless as well Zedong? If that is the case then you might as well be done with it because we are calling the Yamen."

Gu Zedong was stunned when she heard her mother speak up for Lin Jing. Though she knew that Old Madam Gu was biased towards Lin Jing, she never thought that her mother would be like this even in the face of Gu Mu's death.

A part of Gu Zedong resented her mother but when she thought about how Old Madam Gu was still the head of the Gu family and all the power was in her hands including the power to shut down her business, Gu Zedong could only lower her head.

I might have used all my favours to get this useless girl out of prison, but the Head of the Investigation Department will still show me some face."

The servant behind her bowed and only took three steps forward when he was stopped by Kong Tai.

"No, you cannot leave. You cannot!" Kong Tai exclaimed. This time his refusal was very much louder and clearer causing the Gu family to look at him.

Old Madam Gu stared at the mer shaking in front of her and questioned him sternly, "Kong Tai, you better tell me the truth or else I will have to investigate this matter till the end!"

When Kong Tai heard that his mother-in-law was not willing to let off his poor girl even in her death, his lips trembled and his eyes turned clouded. He clenched his hands that were hanging on the sides and instead of answering Old Madam Gu, he questioned, "Mother-in-law can you not leave my daughter alone? She died so brutally. At least give her some mercy in death."

He pleaded to Old Madam Gu but the latter remained unmoved. She stared at Kong Tai and sneered, "The bottom line of showing mercy to her is that she didn't do anything to harm the living. So tell me, did Gu Mu do something to harm my family?"
