Transmigration: Space-Aided Rise to Power and Prosperity-Chapter 737 - 573 Courting Death

The voice was eerie and shrill, and Gu Chengyu felt this was no joke.

He was about to have someone smash open the door of the west wing to see what was happening.

Just as Gu Chengyu called for Dumb Granny, the door of the west wing suddenly opened, and a woman stumbled out.

"Someone, please! Come quickly! Someone’s dead, someone’s dead..."

When Gu Chengyu looked, who else could it be but Wang Yue?

Wang Yue’s hair was disheveled on her forehead, and she was panting heavily, as if she had been through a lot of fright.

Her expression was extremely flustered, with her face full of terror.

"What are you hollering about?" Gu Chengyu saw that some guests were still in the courtyard, so he had to first scold Wang Yue.

Since Wang Yue was shouting that someone had died, it surely wasn’t a natural death. Gu Chengyu thought of Gu Chengyi, could it be him?

"Uncle! Please take the elders of the clan and escort the guests out for me, I need to go take a look."

Gu Chengyu hurriedly asked Uncle Gu to help see the guests out. No matter who died, the guests couldn’t stay to watch the spectacle.

"Someone’s dead? Who’s dead? What is going on?" Someone craned their neck, looking towards the west wing.

"Isn’t that where the second son of the Gu Family lives? Who’s dead? Could it be the second son?" A villager quickly asked his fellow villager, with a tone that had a hint of watching the drama.

"You go take a look quickly!" Uncle Gu promptly agreed, knowing that the Gu Family was in trouble again.

Uncle Gu sighed, why did it have to happen today? Could it be that Gu Chengyi is dead?

It’s said that there should be more people in the west wing than just Wang Yue and Gu Chengyi, why hasn’t anyone else come out?

Once it was said that there was a death in the west wing, Mr. Gu had a bad feeling.

His hands were trembling uncontrollably, wanting to go take a look but his feet wouldn’t cooperate. He collapsed onto a nearby bench, feeling completely powerless.

After the Gu Family split the household, it wasn’t even half a year before a wall was built between the west wing and the main house.

A door was left on the wall to facilitate access to the animal shed.

Gu Chengyu, with Ming Mo and Ming Yan, hurriedly entered through the door, heading straight for Gu Chengyi’s room.

Wang Yue had already grabbed Dumb Granny to follow them; if something really happened, Wang Yue would probably be the knowledgeable one.

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

As soon as Gu Chengyu neared the house, several screams followed.

Gu Chengyu paused, recognizing the voices of two women; it seemed that something must have happened to Gu Chengyi.

He pushed open the door, only to find the room in a mess. Torn clothes were scattered all over the floor, both men’s and women’s.

On the kang lay a person, motionless with a naked body. In one corner of the room, two women cowered, staring in terror at the figure on the bed, their bodies shaking as if sieving chaff.

Gu Chengyu glanced once and then looked away, seeing a man lying there stark naked, without a single piece of clothing on. Another wore only an undershirt that barely stayed on her shoulders.

He almost understood what had happened in the room; these two were going to be troublesome.

"Dumb Granny, have them put on some clothes!"

After saying this, Gu Chengyu turned his back while waiting for the two to tidy themselves up.

He couldn’t leave yet as he didn’t know what condition Gu Chengyi was in.

Judging from the earlier loud noises, if Gu Chengyi was still lying motionless on the bed, he most likely was beyond help.

Dumb Granny had served wealthy households before; how could she not understand the situation inside the room?

What these two women were doing with the man on the kang did not even need to be thought about. Although she found it filthy, her master had ordered it, so she had to step forward to help.

"Quickly put on your clothes, how improper is this?" Dumb Granny’s face showed disdain, without any attempt to hide it.

It was a sight that would make one want to poke their eyes out; her family’s Fifth Master wasn’t even married yet!

These two little hussies really had no shame; a man entered the room and they didn’t know to put on clothes, truly shameless to this extent.

"Ming Mo, go invite Doctor Li over! Ming Yan, keep guard at the door, and allow no one except Doctor Li to come near!"

Doctor Li must be invited over; Gu Chengyi had died suddenly. Although the cause of death wasn’t hard to deduce, this matter had to be handled properly, or else someone might find an exploit.

Ming Mo and Ming Yan hadn’t married either, and when they suddenly saw a woman’s naked body, they were scared and didn’t know what to do.

At just one glance, they turned their heads and dared not look into the room again.

Gu Chengyu’s orders were just what the two hoped for; they breathed a sigh of relief, each taking their leave.

Dumb Granny urged the two to put on their clothes, but they were terribly frightened.

Even as they put on clothes, they were shaky and clumsy, putting the sleeves or pants on the wrong side more than once.

Dumb Granny dared not look at the person on the kang, yet seeing the two being useless, she had to step forward to assist.

"Sir, they are properly dressed now!"

Upon hearing Dumb Granny’s words, Gu Chengyu promptly turned and walked to the bedside.

The room was filled with an odd odor; Gu Chengyu covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and walked less than a meter to the kang, looking at Gu Chengyi.

At that moment, he was taken aback.

Gu Chengyi’s eyes were wide open, and from his gaping mouth, blood mixed with foam had reached his earlobe.

Looking further down, the bed’s bedding was stained with a large patch of blood.

The most noticeable part of his body was his private area, which stood erect.

Gu Chengyu glanced briefly and turned away, confirming that some drug had been involved.

If you play with fire, you get burned! He never thought Gu Chengyi would end up meeting his demise in such a manner.

Originally he thought of letting Gu Chengyi spend the rest of his life in bed, but Gu Chengyi ended his own life first.

Though this was likely not Gu Chengyi’s intention, his neglect for his own health led to this.

"Dumb Granny! Bring these two out, I want to question them personally."

Gu Chengyu thought to leave but then turned back around, pulling the bedding over to cover Gu Chengyi.

Dying in such an unseemly way was bad enough; leaving the body exposed like that would be disrespectful.

"Sir! Doctor Li has arrived!"

Ming Mo was slightly out of breath and set down Doctor Li inside the room. Since Doctor Li walked slowly, Ming Mo had carried him here.

"Cough! Do you not know I am old? Being jostled all the way here almost made me throw up my lunch."

Doctor Li had also been attending the feast at the Gu Family but wanted to return home early as he had herbs drying.

So when Ming Mo went to fetch him, he had just reached home.

"Uncle Li! Please quickly take a look at my second brother."

Although Gu Chengyu was sure Gu Chengyi was dead, he was not a doctor, and he didn’t want to get involved in this matter.

Since the second son was troublesome, who knew if trouble would fall on him instead?

Doctor Li saw Gu Chengyu’s seriousness and urgency, immediately understanding the severity of the situation.
