Gu Mu’s end

While the Yu family was shrouded in the clouds of gloom, the Gu family was not in any less trouble. Once the matter of Gu Mu molesting and killing mers came out the marriages of the other daughters of the Gu family were cancelled one after another. 

From day to night, betrothal gifts were returned one by one leaving the mer concubines and their daughters really upset. Gu Zedong didn't want to deal with them and thus left the house without even telling anyone. While Kong Tai hid in his courtyard, no matter how much the mer concubines scolded and blamed him, he didn't open the door of his courtyard. He knew that the second he opened the courtyard's door, he would be beaten up. 

Thus, he could only stay inside the courtyard while burying his head under the pillow.
