Chapter 1269 : Gu Mu’s end
While the Yu family was shrouded in the clouds of gloom, the Gu family was not in any less trouble. Once the matter of Gu Mu molesting and killing mers came out the marriages of the other daughters of the Gu family were cancelled one after another.
From day to night, betrothal gifts were returned one by one leaving the mer concubines and their daughters really upset. Gu Zedong didn't want to deal with them and thus left the house without even telling anyone. While Kong Tai hid in his courtyard, no matter how much the mer concubines scolded and blamed him, he didn't open the door of his courtyard.
He knew that the second he opened the courtyard's door, he would be beaten up.
Thus, he could only stay inside the courtyard while burying his head under the pillow.
"AHHH!! Shut them up! Shut them up! Who are they to blame me? Their daughters were not any good either, why am I to blame?" Kong Tai shouted while holding his pillow over his head and stretching it on the sides. He had never been insulted like this before, he couldn't believe that they were saying all sorts of rude things to him even before he lost his wife's favour.
If he lost his wife's favour who knows what these mers would do to him!
His servant could only lower his head and stay quietly in the corner. He was afraid that if he was to say anything then Kong Tai would take his anger out on him. The servant was also suffering, he had done nothing wrong and was only here to earn some money for his family and yet he had to be unfortunate enough to become the servant of the father of a murderer.
In the past, this servant used to think that there was no servant any more luckier than him but just in one day he was cursing his luck. Though Kong Tai had no idea what was going on around him, as he was refusing to accept the truth, it didn't change the fact that changes were happening around him and his importance and reputation in his family were going down slowly and steadily,
Because Kong Tai didn't want to hear the nonsense of the other mer concubines, he decided to sleep early. In his sleep, he could hear someone groaning but he ignored the groans and continued to sleep.
In his heart, he even cursed the person who was groaning and crying to die for disturbing his sleep.
Just like that a few hours passed by and the sun rose from the horizon, it spilt the warm golden rays of light all over the land causing it to glow in a beautiful orangish golden glow.
It was a beautiful day however this beautiful day was marred with a scream that tore open the sky.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"AHHHHH!!!" The scream of the cleaning servant echoed in Kong Tai's courtyard. His scream was so loud that the main servant of the bed chambers came running out and scolded the mer who was screaming.
"Why are you screaming? Do you want to be scolded by our master, is that it?" The head servant scolded the cleaning servant who was sitting on the ground while pointing at the old tree, his eyes were shaking as he stammered, "Bo…Body… there is a dead body!"
"What? What body——" The head servant thought that the mer was hallucinating in the heat, how could there be a dead body however as soon as he turned to look at the tree, he saw a mutilated body hanging on the large branch with a noose around its neck and silver sticking out from its eyes, nose and ears.
"T…That… doesn't that body belong to Miss Gu Mu?" One of the servants spoke up in a stammering voice causing the head servant to glare at him but when they all took a good look at the body, they all sucked in a breath. Because the body indeed belonged to Gu Mu!
When did she die? And that too in such a cruel way?
"What are you screaming for?" A sharp and nasty voice came from behind them. Upon hearing the voice, the mers turned to look at Kong Tai who was striding towards them, in the past they would be dissatisfied when they heard Kong Tai scream at them like this but now none of them dared to get upset with him, after all, this mer was also pitiful.
He lost a young daughter at such an old age.
"What's wrong? Cat got your tongue or did some fairy lock your mouths, why do you not speak? What happened to cause you all to scream," Kong Tai angrily questioned his servants. He was already in a bad mood because of what happened with his daughter, he couldn't sleep last night because of all the groaning and moaning and now he was woken up by these foolish servants' screaming.
"That…That…" one of the servants finally spoke up. He didn't want to be scolded for no reason. However, when he thought of the horrifying condition in which the body was, he couldn't help but tremble and ended up stammering.
"What 'that..that? What are you trying to say? Speak clearly," snapped Kong Tai angrily. He was angry and frustrated with how his life had gone downhill, he still needed to think of a way to get his daughter out of the prison yet no one was giving him any space.
The servant dared not to say anything when he saw that Kong Tai was this angry. He only raised his hand and pointed at Gu Mu's corpse which was churning and croaking while hanging on the branch.
"What..what are you——" Kong Tai turned to look in the direction in which the servant was pointing. He wanted to say something more but then his eyes fell on the corpse on the tree and his eyes widened before a wretched scream tore out of his mouth.
" GU MU!"
