In the main room, the second young lady was holding a gold hairpin and looking at her body. She was wondering where to hide it when the door of the room was kicked open with a bang. Several officials stood at the door. The leader said: “Everyone, take off your jewelry, take off your coat, and gather in the front yard!”

The maidservants in the side room immediately started crying, and the second lady was also frightened by the sudden movement. The gold hairpin in her hand fell to the floor.

The officer’s eyes swept to the golden hairpin, and he shouted, “Come out! Take off your clothes and jewelry!”

The maidservants came out of the side room crying. Gu Fei pulled the second young lady to the corner and reached out to take off her coat.

The second lady covered her chest in fear: “No, you can’t take it off, there is a man here!”

Gu Fei smiled bitterly: “Second Miss, please take off your clothes. We can only go to the front yard in our middle clothes.”

There will be more men outside soon!

The second young lady quickly figured it out. Her face turned pale as she held on to her clothes and trembled slightly.

Gu Fei didn’t force her. She knew that the second lady still needed time to mentally build up, so she didn’t need to take off her clothes. She was recovering from her injuries. She was originally wearing a white muslin middle coat.

The second young lady lingered for a while and saw that the other maidservants around her were taking off their clothes. She had no choice but to shyly remove the jewelry on her head and body one by one. Then she gritted her teeth and took off her coat. Fortunately, she kept all the jewelry close to her body.

Then the officers and soldiers drove everyone to the front yard.

The huge courtyard was full of people.

Duke Pingyang was kneeling on the ground, wearing only his middle coat and tied with a rope.

A group of female relatives huddled together and shivered.

Gu Fei moved with difficulty and followed the second young lady to stand in the crowd.

Soon, one big box after another was carried out from inside. When several officers and soldiers came carrying a box, the rope suddenly broke, the box tilted to the ground, the lid opened, and golden gold ingots rolled out on the ground.

Gu Fei glanced through the gap in the crowd and saw that this box of gold ingots weighed at least a hundred kilograms!

She closed her eyes. What a pity, there was so much gold. Although gold was not worth much in her previous life, in this world, it was difficult to live without money!

She wanted them so badly.

An official scolded, and several officers and soldiers hurriedly picked up the gold ingots and stuffed them back into the box.

Everyone stood in the courtyard for an unknown length of time. At first, female relatives were crying softly, but then they may have become numb from crying, so they all stood motionless.

Until the last box was carried out.

An official waved his hand and said: “Men and women should stand separately! After a while, the men will go to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and the female relatives will enter the women’s prison of the Ministry of Punishment.”

This shout was like a drop of water falling into a pan of oil.

Those who were numb at first, or who still had a glimmer of hope, were now in despair.

Some cried and shouted, slumped on the ground, beat their chests, and so on.

At this time, the six-year-old young master ran out from the crowd and ran towards the gate: “I don’t want to go to the big prison, I don’t want to go to the big prison -”

Before he finished speaking, an official took out his sword and swung it at the little boy.

The little boy’s running posture was frozen instantly, and a line of blood shot out from his neck, accompanied by a sound like a bellows.

The little body slowly fell, and the crowd burst out with a heart-rending scream: “Xing’er——”

The second young lady’s face turned pale, and she was shaking all over. She held Gu Fei’s arm tightly, and Gu Fei patted her hand gently to express comfort.

“Stop arguing! If you keep arguing, this will be your fate!” an official shouted sternly.
