Chapter 187 Let Song Ruyan follow and find a deserted place... Kill

Chu Ruohan was wearing a plain brocade robe and sitting lazily on the small couch, leaning her head to look out the window at a pair of people, one big and one small, who were practicing kung fu.

Looking at Lu Ge'er doing horse stance, Chu Ruohan's mouth curled up slightly. She hadn't practiced kung fu for a long time.

But that smile was quickly replaced by worry in his eyes.

Gu Junze has not been at home these days. He left early. I wonder what he is busy with?

Chu Ruohan guessed that he was playing a big game...

"Young Madam, the third young master has left the house." Yuling's voice broke Chu Ruohan's thoughts.

Chu Ruohan rubbed her fingers subconsciously. The day of the Spring Examination was getting closer and closer. At this time, Gu Chengyan suddenly left the house. Was he afraid of something?

Was he afraid that she would attack again at this critical moment and affect his performance, so he chose to hide?

Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in Chu Ruohan's eyes.

"Let Song Ruyan follow and find a deserted place..."

Chu Ruohan's voice was low and cold, and at the same time, her fingers slowly stroked across her neck, making a crisp gesture.

"Yes." Yuling took the order and left without any hesitation.

Chu Ruohan was still sitting there, without even changing her posture.

Ever since the news of Gu Junze's leg recovery spread, on the surface, Hongmeng Academy seemed calm and the defense was lax.

But in reality, the security inside is so tight that even a fly can hardly fly in.

On the other hand, the Marquis of Anyang and his son had remained motionless, like two dormant beasts, waiting for an opportunity.

Instead of being so cautious and on guard all the time, it is better to take the initiative.

Directly eliminating Gu Chengyan is undoubtedly a risky move, but also a brilliant one.

On the one hand, he wanted to see if Marquis Anyang would do something desperate. On the other hand, it was time to put an end to all the grievances between him and Gu Chengyan in the previous life.

She was no longer the weak woman she had been when she was reborn, powerless and could only hide in the dark and plot little by little...

Not long after, Yuling hurried in again.

"Young Madam, General Weiyuan's Mansion has sent you an invitation to attend the Spring Banquet tomorrow."

Chu Ruohan took it and said, "It's cold in late spring, what kind of spring banquet are you holding?"

Looking out the window, Gu Junze came back early today and was standing quietly in the yard, looking at Lu Ge'er.

After a moment, he walked over.

"uncle."

"Prince."

Gu Junze nodded slightly, raised his hand and gently patted Lu Ge'er's shoulder, "Lu Ge'er, you've practiced well, but in addition to practicing martial arts, you can't fall behind in studying."

Lu Ge'er blinked, with a hint of doubt in his eyes. He just wanted to become stronger.

“Books contain great wisdom and can teach you how to understand people’s hearts.”

Gu Junze paused slightly, looking into the distance, as if he saw those figures who were up and down in the power struggle. "The hearts of people in this world are complicated, sometimes more difficult to understand than the most powerful martial arts moves."

"Brother Lu and uncle come in."

Lu Ge'er nodded, followed Gu Junze obediently and stepped into the study.

Yuling stood aside, looking at the invitation to General Weiyuan's Mansion in Chu Ruohan's hand, and suggested, "Young Madam, should we go ask the prince?"

Chu Ruohan gently waved her hand and put the invitation away. "No need. With all the socializing and entertainment between the wealthy and powerful families in these deep mansions, you'll have to deal with them over time."

As soon as the voice fell, Chu Ruohan paused and turned her gaze to Yuling, "Go and call Qin Fang over to me."

Yuling bowed, knowing that the young lady had asked Qin Fang to come, it must be a big deal, so she didn't dare to leave and delay for even a moment, and went to do it immediately.

Chu Ruohan also stood up. Anyang Hou was a very secretive person. The mines in his previous life...

Also, he sold off so many of the princess's properties, but none of that money flowed into the Anyang Marquis's Mansion.

She guessed that Chu Ang was probably his man, so the property that Chu Ang secretly moved from the Chu family should have fallen into his hands.

What does he need so much money for...

As soon as Qin Fang received Chu Ruohan's summons, he immediately came to Hongmeng Courtyard.

Chu Ruohan was already waiting for him.

Seeing Qin Fang coming in, she raised her hand to signal him not to be polite.

"Well, I called you here this time because I have something to ask you."

Qin Fang knelt on one knee and responded respectfully: "Young Madam, please speak."

"Among the properties taken away from the Anyang Marquis' Mansion, are there any old people who belonged to the eldest princess at that time?"

Chu Ruohan leaned forward slightly. There were many unknown secrets behind the eldest princess's death, and perhaps these former servants of the eldest princess could know something from their mouths.

Qin Fang thought for a moment and quickly replied, "Young Madam, it is true."

Chu Ruohan handed over all her businesses to Qin Fang, who would inspect them every once in a while.

Qin Fang then added, "Several shops in the capital have seen frequent business over the years, and the shopkeepers and employees have changed several times. The staff turnover is so high that it's hard to find any traces of the past."

"The manor outside the capital is relatively safe and there are still some people left behind by the princess."

A hint of surprise flashed across Chu Ruohan's eyes, but she quickly calmed down and said methodically, "Okay, go back and get ready. I'll go with you to the farm the day after tomorrow."

"yes."

After Qin Fang left, Chu Ruohan fell into deep thought.

The eldest princess's death was really unfair. So many years have passed, and many physical evidences have long disappeared. It is very difficult to find conclusive evidence.

You can try to prove it with human evidence...

The warm sun is rising and the breeze is blowing, bringing a hint of warmth, but it can't hide the chill of late spring in the air.

The carriage slowly stopped at the gate of General Weiyuan's mansion, and Chu Ruohan got off the carriage with the help of Yuling.

Looking up, it was quite lively.

"Madam Crown Prince, you are finally here. Please come in." General Weiyuan's wife came up with a smile on her face and enthusiastically took Chu Ruohan's hand.

Chu Ruohan was really not used to it, "Thank you, Madam Feng, for the invitation."

"Calling you Madam is too formal. My maiden name is Shan, and my given name is Chun. I'm a few years older than you, so I'll just call you Sister."

Mrs. Feng held Chu Ruohan's hand a little tighter. They looked so intimate that people who didn't know the truth would think they had been close friends for many years.

Chu Ruohan was slightly startled, but soon regained her smile, "Sister Chun."

"Let's go in and take a look," Madam Feng said as she pulled Chu Ruohan into the mansion. "Everyone is usually busy with their own things, and it's rare for us to get together. This is a good opportunity to have some fun."

Chu Ruohan looked in the direction she was talking, and saw that the courtyard was crowded with guests, and the female relatives were chatting in groups of two or three.

Most of them are daughters who are getting married...
