Chapter 96: Arrested the wrong person?

His eyes suddenly caught sight of something dark on the skirt: "Is she injured?"

Lu Lao San hurriedly said: "No, no, that was the driver's blood."

Ji Xuanyu felt relieved and remained calm: "How do you know that the person you arrested was Gu Wanru?"

If it was Gu Huan who was kidnapped, her innocence would be ruined if the news got out, so he simply went along with it and made his men think that the person who was arrested was Gu Wanru.

Huang Laoer replied, "There were four women in the carriage, two of whom were dressed as maids. When one of them pushed her out, she said she was the young lady. Her maid tried to argue, but was killed by the person who pushed her out."

"Tsk tsk, that woman is really brave. She looks pampered, but she kills people without blinking an eye."

When Lu Laosan looked at Ji Xuanyu's increasingly gloomy eyes, his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that they arrested the wrong person?

They cannot admit it, otherwise, it would be a serious sin.

Lu Lao San added: "I heard that the one who was killed was the maid of the young lady, Jin Kui. The other one was Bi Yu."

Ji Xuanyu was clear about the people around Mu An and Gu Wanru. Jin Kui and Yin Zhi had always been following Gu Wanru.

Biyu is Mu An's concubine, and she and Gu Wanru are not on good terms.

Now he was even more confused. Logically, Biyu would prefer Gu Wanru to be pushed out.

Back then, Gu Wanru and Gu Huan studied together. Gu Wanru was as proud as a peacock, while Gu Huan was like a pitiful kitten.

No one in the Gu family treats her as a human being.

Ji Xuanyu looked down at the person in the box. The clothes were of luxurious material and novel style. They seemed to come from an embroidery workshop.

The woman Gu Wanru, who was seen next to Mu An today, was wearing clothes of a new style, but the material was very ordinary, similar to what the girls in Yichunyuan were wearing, and she only wore a gold hairpin on her head.

Ji Xuanyu frowned and said, "Go find a maid to help the man out."

Huang Lao Er and Lu Lao San looked at each other when they heard this.

The young master actually wants to find a maid to help her...

Soon, two maids were found to drag the person out of the box and put him directly on the bed.

"Find her a set of ordinary skirts to change into."

This dress is too eye-catching.

When the old woman went out to look for her, Ji Xuanyu looked at her hair bun and asked, "She didn't bring any jewelry?"

Huang Lao Er was startled, and hurriedly took out the jade hairpin and presented it with both hands: "Yes, I have it. I am afraid it will be damaged, so I took it down first and put it away, ready to present it to the young master."

Ji Xuanyu took it and rubbed the hairpin with his fingers. The jade was of top quality.

Huang Laoer explained flatteringly, "This is made of warm jade that is only available in the Western Regions. It is exquisitely carved, and the tail is engraved with the Linlang Tower logo. It is worth at least five hundred gold. When she saw me accept it, she was very anxious and wanted to snatch it back. The other woman was dressed much more shabbily than she was, with only a gold hairpin on her head. So, I think she is the young lady of the Duke's Mansion."

Ji Xuanyu didn't say anything and put the jade hairpin into his arms.

Huang Laoer felt heartbroken.

The old woman quickly found the skirt of an ordinary woman. Ji Xuanyu walked out of the room, and the other men hurriedly followed him out.

Old Third Lu tried to guess what the young master meant.

Over the past month, he has been ordered to lead people to keep an eye on the Gu Mansion and the Yong Mansion, mainly on Aunt Pei of the Gu Mansion and the young master and young lady of the Yong Mansion.

Unfortunately, the young lady seldom goes out, and every time she does, she covers herself tightly so her true appearance cannot be seen.

The young master seduced Prince Jiang and the girl in the palace just to cheat Pei's business. Who made them rich?

He also accidentally learned that the young master was pushed off a cliff by Aunt Pei of the Gu family six years ago, but fortunately he was rescued by the hall master.

But he was in a coma for five months, and many of his bones were broken. After waking up, he took nearly a year to get out of bed.

But my health has not been very good.

The purpose of tonight's meeting was to let Mu An and Gu Wanru come forward to negotiate cooperation with Mr. Guo, and get a reward after the deal was done. They would then join forces with Prince Jiang and Mr. Guo to secretly replace all the cotton clothes and quilts handed over by the Pei family with fake ones.

The real stuff was then sold to the imperial court through a business under Xuanjitang, becoming an imperial merchant. The Pei family business then fell into disgrace, and they took the opportunity to seize their property in one fell swoop and divided it among the three parties.

But two things happened suddenly. First, the county lord's arranged marriage was blocked, and Prince Jiang wanted to kidnap the Gu sisters.

The second thing is that the young master actually forbids kidnapping girls, only the elder sister.

While they were thinking about their own things, the old woman came out.

"It's already been changed."

Lu Laosan gave her a hundred coins to send her off, then looked at the young master, wondering what he was going to do.

Huang Laoer looked at him and could see the other's nervousness and fear.

What if I caught the wrong person...

Third Lu said stubbornly, "Young Master, why don't you take another look? Don't you recognize the Gu sisters?"

Of course Ji Xuanyu wanted to take a look.

It’s been six years. He has been thinking about it for six years!

When I turned around and was about to enter, I suddenly saw the woman inside climb up by herself and grope around.

The plump and graceful figure reflected by the oil lamp through the window made him pause.

Sister Huan has been bullied by her elder sister and abused by her aunt since she was young. She was not well fed and clothed. At the age of eleven, she was as thin as a seven or eight-year-old girl. Could she have changed so much in six years?

Ever since he woke up, he had been thinking about fulfilling his promise one day and taking her away from the cannibalistic Gu Mansion.

Pamper her, love her, protect her.

Later, in order to have the power to protect his beloved little girl, he did not hesitate to stain his hands with blood, betray Daliang, and become a spy for the enemy country.

Later, he finally gained the trust of the hall master. When he returned to Bian Jing, Gu Wanru, who had bullied Sister Huan, had already married Mu An and became the distinguished young lady of the Duke's Mansion.

And Gu Huan was also brought into the Duke's Mansion by Gu Wanru.

Although, their spy network has already figured out the situation of the Gu family, the Pei family and Gu Wanru.

But he longed to see her, yet was afraid to see her.

He is no longer the Brother Ji of the past. In order to get help and take revenge on the Pei family, he is now scheming and cruel.

Both hands were covered in blood.

What's more, he defected to the Western Regions and became the enemy of Daliang. Now he is living with his head on the line.

He was afraid that the little girl would be dragged into the abyss by him and her life would be ruined.

If she likes her current life and he selfishly takes her away and makes her experience displacement, he will feel heartbroken and blame himself.

It would be better to help her get rid of the Pei family and kill Aunt Pei and Gu Wanru.

He will see her again then.

If she wanted, he would take her away.

They are still young, and in the future he will make it up to her and hold her in his hands and take good care of her.

Ji Xuanyu hesitated for a moment.

"Lu Laosan, go in and ask who she is."

Lu Laosan nodded and pushed the door open.

Ji Xuanyu stood by the window and listened with his ears perked up.

Gu Huan had just woken up after being stabbed in the neck. Her head was dizzy. When she saw the kidnapper coming in, she felt like she was falling into an ice cave. She quickly shrank to the side of the cabinet, picked up a wooden ladle and hit it hard on the cabinet, using the sharp fragment to point at her neck.

He shouted in a hoarse voice: "Don't come over here, or I will die in front of you! If I die, you will get nothing, and the Wenchang Marquis' Mansion and the Duke's Mansion will not let you go!"

Ji Xuanyu frowned.

Sister Huan’s voice is delicate and sweet, not so hoarse.

On the contrary, Gu Wanru's voice was relatively low.

Sister Huan hates the Gu family so much, so why would she think that the Gu family would come to save her?

Moreover, Sister Huan has always been timid. She never dared to say a word when her elder sister bullied her. Now she has become bold?

Are you not afraid of death anymore?

Lu Lao San quickly waved his hand: "I just came to ask a question, just tell me the truth. I won't touch you."

Gu Huan breathed heavily: "Ask quickly."

"Are you Gu Wanru or her sister?"
