Chapter 597

Just as Gu Jiu Ling ordered people to help Lin Jingyuan up and sent him into the carriage, another group of people, dust-covered and weary, hurried over.

"Madam!" Cheng Ming's face turned pale, he leapt down from the horse's back, hurriedly walked toward Lin Rujun, his face full of anxiety.

How are you?

You said you were going to the suburbs to rest and recuperate, so why did you suddenly rush back to Shang Jing?

What does this have to do with the Rui Wangfu again? By the way, why are so many people gathered here? Are you alright?

Cheng Ming blabbered a lot, and eventually the people around finally understood.

It turned out that Lin Ru Jun, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, had gone to the suburbs to nurture the fetus.

Now, heavily pregnant, she personally came to plead for her older brother, showing deep sibling affection, truly rare and precious.

Lin Ru Jun never expected Cheng Ming to return from the training camp so quickly.

It seems someone informed him about his older brother and Minister Chen's affairs; Cheng Ming was originally training in Cangzhou, but rushing back overnight must be because he feared something had happened due to his brother's situation.

She originally didn't want to involve Cheng Ming and the princess's manor, but she didn't expect the matter to be like fire that cannot be wrapped in paper, impossible to hide.

Lin Ru Jun stood before Cheng Ming; he opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Who would have thought that Cheng Ming turned around, his violent temper surged again, and he strode straight up to Gu Jiu Ling and shouted.

You Rui Wangfu bully people, but there has to be a limit!

My lady is about to go into labor; why have you brought her here?

If anything happens to her, how can your Rui Wangfu bear the responsibility?

She is, after all, a member of the princess's manor!

Gu Jiu Ling laughed angrily: 'Princess, you little thing, your mother, the venerable Grand Princess, is about to be driven to death by your oafish husband.'

Can't you first listen to what your wife has to say to you before coming over to complain about others?

What does my affair have to do with your princess's manor? It's your wife who keeps running to me; how is this still my fault?

Xiao Yin slowly walked to Gu Jiu Ling's side, his Dragon Spring sword already drawn, he raised an eyebrow and glared at the fierce Cheng Ming before him: 'Hurry up and get lost? If you keep jabbering in front of my consort, I don't mind having my sister and the Grand Princess bear another child.'

Suddenly, suppressed laughter came from around; Cheng Ming's face flushed red, and just as he was about to speak, Lin Ru Jun grabbed him.

You… what are you interfering for?

Lin Ru Jun bent over, clutching her belly, face pale: 'We have nothing to do with the Prince Rui and his consort; this is our Lin family's fault—my brother set a trap to frame Prince Rui. I no longer care about face, which is why I've come to beg you. Go back!'

Cheng Ming froze there, thinking Gu Jiu Ling was up to something again, dragging his wife into it.

Now hearing this tone, it seems his wife is the one who owes an apology to the Prince Rui couple first.

A flash of embarrassment crossed Cheng Ming's face; he cupped his fists toward Gu Jiu Ling and Xiao Yin, offering an apology.

Afterwards, he supported Lin Ru Jun as she was about to get into the carriage, when his complexion suddenly changed drastically and he slowly bent over.

My lady, what's wrong?

Cheng Ming was suddenly shocked and pale; Lin Ru Jun felt streams of fluid flowing down her legs, and she secretly thought it was not good.

Just now, to save her older brother, she had traveled by carriage from the suburbs, and upon arriving in Shang Jing where the situation was so tense, she suspected she had disturbed her qi, fearing she was about to give birth.

I… I'm about to give birth… quickly!

What? Cheng Ming instantly lost his composure, suddenly thought of something, and had the maid support Lin Ru Jun.

He then hurriedly strode up to Gu Jiu Ling, raising his hand to grab her arm, but a slap came straight at him, knocking him to the ground.

Xiao Yin delivered that slap with full force, Cheng Ming felt a sharp pain in his chest, and quickly lifted his head to look at Xiao Yin standing before Gu Jiu Ling.

The blade of Xiao Yin's Dragon Spring sword still pressed against his throat.

Even a pig knows propriety; you remember to eat but not to be beaten—worse than a pig!

I didn't expect this idiot Cheng Ming to blindly accuse Gu Jiu Ling without distinguishing right from wrong, but that was bad enough.

Now he's pushing his luck, stepping forward to insist on grabbing Gu Jiu Ling's hand—has this brat gone crazy?

Cheng Ming's eye sockets were red with urgency; he hurriedly begged Gu Jiu Ling.

Save her!

My wife is about to give birth!

If you save her, I'll do anything you ask.

Gu Jiu Ling was practically laughing in anger, as people came one after another to find fault with her.

Before, her relationship with the Lin family was already unclear, a mess of right and wrong.

Gu Jiu Ling took a deep breath, coldly looking at the flustered, helpless Cheng Ming before her.

Well, what's going on with you princess's manor? You need people when it's convenient, but discard them when it's not.

Just now you weren't cursing me, grasping at wind and shadows, making baseless accusations. Now you demand I save your wife?

I'll tell you! Our grudges are settled; I saved his older brother, rescued her Lin family several times—what more do you want?

Cheng Ming's eyes reddened with anxiety, and he couldn't help but shout: 'Everyone has difficulties; think back to when your husband Xiao Yin was trapped in the valley—no one in the entire capital stepped forward to help you.'

My wife, a mere woman, followed behind you and rescued people.

This favor—you couldn't repay it even once, let alone ten thousand times; this time I beg you to save her!

Gu Jiu Ling's brows knotted tightly; that favor she owed from back then had been repaid over and over, yet she could never repay it fully.

She inhaled and laughed: 'I also have a temper—let you lot of fools curse back and forth? Fine, kowtow three times to me, and I'll save him, ensuring mother and child safety.'

Gu Jiu Ling provoked him on purpose, not expecting Cheng Ming to actually kneel toward her direction and kowtow three times in succession, his forehead swelling.

The onlookers gasped, for Cheng Ming, the proud young marquis, would now say 'kneel' and kneel, say 'kowtow' and kowtow for his wife.

Princess Consort, do you think that's enough? If not…

Cheng Ming continued kowtowing to Gu Jiu Ling, one head after another, his forehead already split open.

Lin Ru Jun opened her mouth to say something, but her vision went black and she fainted instantly, the scene descending into utter chaos.

Gu Jiu Ling free ride, this ninety-nine linked head kowtow makes one's hair stand on end, the immortal's tone raises his voice: ". Come, take the young lady together back to the hospital."

As soon as Gu Jiu Ling's words fell, the villagers over there hurriedly got up from the ground; the woman sent her own wife into Ma City, and he also came to the clinic together with the carriage, under Gu Jiu Ling's unfavorable circumstances—I'm afraid I'm destined to have a karmic bond with your family from birth.
