Chapter 124.1: 行刑

[Execution]

---

Although the punks and Chang Geng were witnesses to Zhao Lao Ye’s crimes, they also had to pay for what they had done, so they were also punished.

 

While the hooligans were being suppressed by the officials, Chang Geng came to Gu Lang before being taken away, he bent his knees towards him and about to kneel down.

 

Before Chen Xing could react, Gu Lang was quick to hold him back, he looked at the man who was about to kneel down and said coldly, “No need. This time, you did a good job.”

 

Chang Geng moved his lips, and those eyes with a few turbid moments were filled with guilt, which eventually turned into relief. He smiled gently, and a bit of his youthful courteousness could be vaguely seen on that ghost-like face, “Young Master, thank you.”

 

After saying that, Chang Geng bowed deeply towards Gu Lang, and then left with the officials.

 

Gu Lang didn’t stop him this time, he just watched their group disappear in front of him along with the officials.

 

From the beginning to the end, Chen Xing accompanied Gu Lang in front of him, he looked at the expressionless man, he always felt that Gu Lang’s mood at this time does not seem to be very good.

 

Chen Xing hesitated for a while, but still did not open his mouth to comfort, he felt that Gu Lang is strong enough, and does not need those words of comfort. However, secretly, the strength of his holding Gu Lang’s hand became stronger and stronger.

 

Gu Lang stood there and did not know what he was thinking about, not a moment later, as if he had noticed something, he turned his head to look at Chen Xing, only to see that he was lowering his head and had a serious look on his face, as if he was thinking about big matters in his life.

 

Gu Lang slightly froze for a moment, and then asked directly, “What are you thinking about?”

 

Hearing Gu Lang open his mouth, Chen Xing, without making any noise, who was concentrating on what he could do to make him happy later at home, was startled for a moment.

 

When he came back to his senses and looked at Gu Lang, he only saw that Gu Lang was looking at himself fixedly, and even raised his eyebrows the instant he looked at him, seemingly very curious.

 

Chen Xing suddenly felt a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment yet he still said: “I was thinking, we will go back later to eat something, after all, after today’s constant peak of activities, it’s still quite consuming our physical strength.”

 

Gu Lang looked at Chen Xing’s eyes drifting from side to side when he said this, and knew that he wasn’t telling the truth, but he didn’t expose Chen Xing, instead he connived at this little thought of his, agreed with him and said, “Hn, you’re right, maybe we can eat outside today and then go back, this way you’ll be able to rest a little bit more.”

 

Hearing Gu Lang say it like this, Chen Xing shook his head without thinking and refused, “No, it’s not too late now, let’s go back by ourselves to make it better. I like to cook by myself, and cook what I like.”

 

Seeing that Chen Xing insisted on going back to do it by himself, Gu Lang also did not say anything more, but just nodded his head, with a little bit of indulgence in his tone, “I’ll listen to you, let’s go back and I’ll give you a hand.”

 

Hearing Gu Lang said so, Chen Xing was happy, he nodded his head fiercely towards Gu Lang and joyfully said: “Go back we cook sweet and sour pork spare ribs, plum braised pork. Later, before we go back, let’s go to the grocery store to buy some red beans and then make eight-treasure rice pudding (steamed glutinous rice with bean paste, lotus seeds, preserved fruits, etc.).”

 

“Okay.” Gu Lang’s voice was filled with infinite tenderness.

 

While planning what to eat, the two of them walked towards their home, as if everything they had just experienced was unreal. Today, they came to the court to confront the enemy who had destroyed Gu Lang’s family, yet they still return as usual, just like when they go home after attending the shop.

 

Qiu Jiu stood back and watched his family’s young master and Chen Xing go back together, his face expression extraordinarily entangled, finally he thought about all that happened today, still decided not to go back, he gave space to his family’s Gong Zi and Chen Xing.

 

After all, since such a big matter has happened, Gong Zi must be more willing to stay with Chen Xing, he will not go back to disturb them. Qiu Jiu felt that this idea of him was super thoughtful or considerate so he praised himself, and then happily went to find his companion brothers to play with.

 

###

 

While Gu Lang and Chen Xing were on their way to buy ingredients, Mrs Zhao was being carried into the mansion by her subordinates.

 

When the people in Zhao Family’s residence saw that the usually high and mighty head of the family had come back in a state of distress and panic, they suddenly panicked and were at a loss at what they should do.

 

In the end, it was Fěicuì, the eldest maid who usually acted as Madam Zhao’s spokesperson, who came on the news and looked at the panic-stricken crowd and rebuked: “What are you guys all doing? Are you all incompetents? Why don’t you quickly carry Madam to the house to lie down. You go and wait beside Madam and you go and invite the doctor to come.”

 

“Yes.” Facing this arrogant maid, who was usually quite authoritative in front of the madam, the person whose name was called quickly followed her orders.

 

As Fěicuì watched the maids carry Madam into the house, she pursed her lips and decided to go and ask the Old Lady to come in person.

 

When Fěicuì arrived at the old lady’s courtyard, she saw a plainly dressed old lady holding a string of praying beads 📿, kneeling reverently in front of the statue of Buddha, reciting words and not knowing what she was saying.

 

Fěicuì glanced at the maid standing by the side, hesitating to go in.

 

Just at this time, the originally quiet family hall for worshiping Buddha suddenly sounded a pale old voice, “What happened?”

 

The old lady suddenly opened her mouth, the still tangled Fěicuì startled a jump, she was so shocked to even raise her eyes towards the front, only to see that the old lady was still in her kneeling posture without turning her head.
