My Wife Turns Out to be an Empress of the Dynasty

The surviving Rapist cherished his life immensely, grateful that he didn't immediately climb the wall and try to escape!

Just then, Old Yang's loud shout resounded, "You little thief! How dare you intrude into my young master's residence! Where do you think you're going!?"

Knowing that his young master was an extraordinary expert, Old Yang had been diligently practicing the unparalleled martial arts "Eight Pieces of Brocade" given by his young master every day. Finally, it came in handy now!

The Rapist had no intention of dealing with him now!

He was scared out of his wits!

Just a few steps away, he stumbled and was directly caught by Old Yang!

Several people came out at the entrance of the Residence. When the Rapist looked over, he saw his target for today, Lin Tan'er, a little Daoist, and a girl in red.

"Ha! Look, this little thief tried to sneak into our house, but I caught him right away!" Old Yang's face was flushed with excitement.

"Uncle Yang is amazing! Should we report it to the officials?" Lin Tan'er praised at the right time.

"Sister, don't report it to the officials!" The little Daoist revealed a sinister smile. "For such thieves, we can handle it ourselves!"

Gu Xiaoqi's fingertips ignited a ball of phoenix fire, and the temperature was terrifying enough to distort the space. Her little face was stern. "Speak, why did you break into my master's Residence?"

The Rapist gulped hard at this moment!

Although he couldn't discern their cultivation levels, from his many years of experience, this family clearly wasn't normal!

Even if they caught a thief, shouldn't the children, maids, and gatekeepers be nervous? Why do these people's eyes seem a bit excited?

"Dear sirs and young ladies, I just came to steal some things, but I didn't succeed... How about you be generous and let me go?" The Rapist pleaded.

The little Daoist's eyes flashed, and he chuckled, "Lying? Do you want to die faster?"

The Rapist panicked!

How did this kid figure it out?

Did he also understand the art of reading people's minds?

"Forget it! I guess this little thief won't confess until he sees the coffin. Let's interrogate him a bit and wait for the young master to come back before deciding on his fate," Old Yang is biased in favor of Zhongren's opinion.

Back when he was wandering in Huangzhou, he didn't steal or rob despite being poor and destitute.

Now that people are physically healthy, they're trying to do bad things like climbing walls. The world has really gone downhill, and forceful measures are necessary!

Hearing this, the Rapist breathed a sigh of relief.

The attendants in this family were so abnormal. If they didn't wait for that young master, he might have been killed by now...

Just endure a beating for a while!

As long as he kept his mouth shut about coming to steal flowers, maybe this young master was a kind and generous person. They might just report him to the authorities or treat him as a thief and let him go!

Afterward, Old Yang escorted the Rapist into the courtyard.

However, three seconds later, there was a noisy commotion of several people interrogating, mixed with the Rapist's miserable screams in the courtyard.

"Uncle Yang, let me try the sword. I've become unfamiliar with it since the secret realm."

"Hey! Sister Tan'er, let me handle this. Tianji Pavilion also has a prison. My skill in prying open mouths is definitely not inferior to the Imperial Announcements Bureau!"

"You guys interrogate him, and I'll burn the other places."

Rapist: "Hey! Hey! I'm a Rapist, I confess! My accomplices are staying in the second alley south of XX Street. Please don't do anything rash!"

...

The carriage curtains were lifted by the slightly cool breeze, the wide wooden wheels rolling slowly on the already dispersed East Street, gradually returning to Gu Residence.

"Master Gu, did you buy too much? With all these postpartum supplies, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish them in a year," Mu Yuyan looked at the carriage filled with "postpartum necessities" and numerous pastries of Chunyue Building, revealing a wry smile.

Even though her husband was wealthy and pampered her, as the Sword Immortal, she still had to consider her own appearance. Consuming all these items might turn her into a little pig.

"A woman needs to eat this much during her postpartum period!" Gu Lan brought knowledge from his past life, earnestly advising his newlywed wife.

"Don't worry, Madam. If you gain weight, we can do vigorous exercises to burn it off. A fuller figure feels better... Besides, we bought so many baby items; we might as well keep them for the next one!" Gu Lan chuckled.

Madam didn't understand the first part. It was only after hearing the latter half that she realized what vigorous exercises meant.

"Hmph, were you already thinking this when you bought them?" Mu Yuyan blushed, throwing a soft and flirtatious glance at him.

Gu Lan's warm hands caressed his wife's slender waist, not wanting to let go.

To be honest, these past few days had been torturous! In his previous life, he had been a solo act, but after marrying such a stunning wife in this life, he had developed a taste for it.

How could he have prepared for the first ten months of pregnancy?

Now, his body was like a surging flood! Despite Madam's consideration, when it came to debates of the tongue, it was no match for the passage of time.

The two of them chatted unabashedly on their private journey.

The carriage slowly came to a stop as they returned to the residence.

Gu Lan carefully helped Madam down from the carriage, handed a piece of silver to the coachman, and then began to call out for Old Yang and the little maidservant to come out and move the belongings.

After a while, Old Yang came out of the residence with a contented smile on his face, his body covered in sweat and a faint hint of blood in the sweat.

"Young Master, do you want to move the things you bought in the market?"

Gu Lan looked disdainful and decided not to let him move anything. "What are you doing in the residence? Today is not New Year's; are you slaughtering chickens?"

Old Yang innocently smiled. "I didn't slaughter chickens. Two rapists came, one of them burned to death in the fire array set up by the young master, and we're interrogating the second one."

After confessing that they planned to target Lin Tan'er, the household members began to take action.

Old Yang expertly demonstrated the "Eight Pieces of Brocade" with particular vigor. Even so, he was the one who went easiest on them...

"Rapists?" Gu Lan and Mu Yuyan exchanged glances, both surprised by what they heard.

"We just heard about rapists in the teahouse with Madam today, and unexpectedly, they came to our residence. It's... hey, did they die horribly?"

Gu Lan wanted to know what kind of cultivation they had to dare to commit a crime in the capital so close to the New Year. And these days, rapists are working in pairs?

"They should still be alive, but we've extracted all the information we could... Madam, it's better not to go and see. It looks a bit disgusting, and it might disturb Madam," Old Yang kindly advised.

Mu Yuyan nodded. She wanted to go and see, but since the information had already been extracted, it wasn't that important whether she went or not.

Gu Lan walked into the backyard with big strides.

A guy was tied to a pillar, tattered clothes with sword scars, traces of burning from the Phoenix Divine Fire on his limbs, and his facial features twisted together, already suffering unbearably!

Well, I believe you won't choose the wrong profession in your next life... Gu Lan's eyes were cold, showing no pity for this lump of rotting flesh.

He originally wanted to ask a few questions, but it seemed... this guy was already on the brink of death, unable to speak.

"Master, this is the information we've obtained through interrogation."

At this moment, Lin Tan'er walked out of the house, having considerately organized a confession and respectfully presented it to Gu Lan.

"Good." Gu Lan responded indifferently, about to take it and examine it.

Suddenly!

A roar came from the direction of the capital's gate!

The sound was like muffled thunder, deafening!

"Tianji Pavilion Consecrator! A life for a life, my junior brother died at your hands. Dare you come out of the city and fight me!?"
