Chapter 428 The Gu Family’s Mess

"I'll give the order right away." The shadow guard left, and the internal energy in the room quietly dissipated.

Xiliuyuan felt that if it was really the general's mansion, perhaps he didn't need to worry too much.

The little girl was very smart. If she saw someone moving something at the banquet, she might be able to guess that it was Xi Yan who did it.

The fact that she didn't hand the person over was enough to show that her aunt had reached some kind of agreement with her.

——

Two days passed, and most of Kyoto City had been searched, but there was still no news, and the city gates were closed for two days.

Many people who lived outside the city did not have time to leave the city gate that day, so they spent the past two days under the city gate. The weather has been very bad in the past two days.

It has been raining continuously and the sky has not cleared up yet.

Dark clouds are floating across the sky, and there will be another heavy rain tonight.

The people at the city gate looked at the sky with worried faces. The rich could stay in an inn, while the poor could only hide under the eaves of the surrounding houses. Many people had fallen ill in the past two days, and their lives would be in danger if they were not treated in time.

This is true inside the city gate and outside the city gate.

For a time, the people complained continuously, and many of them flocked to the government office.

The officials were blocked at the gate for two days and had no choice but to write a memorial to the emperor, begging him to open the city gate as soon as possible and restore Kyoto to its former glory.

General's Mansion

The house has been very peaceful for the past two days.

Because Marquis Xiang Ming was away, Prince Helian sent people to pay his respects, and Prince Changyang and his princess, as well as Prince Wang, also sent people to pay their respects and take care of him.

The Qian family sent someone to come, but Zhan Yi drove them back.

The Gu family also sent people to inquire, but Mr. Gu did not show up. Logically, Mr. Gu cares about the little girl the most, even though such a big thing happened.

But there was something wrong with Gu Shuo sending someone here.

Ye Qianning sat in the pavilion. It was still very cold on rainy days in spring. She raised her hand to gather her snow-white cloak and poured all the bait into the lotus pond with one hand.

The carp in the pond suddenly rolled over, splashing water.

A little nectar-sucking bird landed in a corner of the pavilion, chirping pleasantly.

"Is it serious?" Ye Qianning's expression tightened.

The honey sucker jumped a few times and chirped before landing on the stone table in the hall.

"After sleeping for a few days, he doesn't look very well. Doctors are always coming in and out." Honey Sucker nodded and pecked at the table.

Ye Qianning was a little worried. The Gu family was a large family with many members, but it was also the most chaotic. Gu Shuo had been excluded from the family, and it would not be easy for him to return to the family tree.

Old Gu liked Gu Shuo the most among all his grandsons. Now she and Gu Shuo had a blood relationship problem. As the only girl in three generations, Old Gu was determined to add Gu Shuo back to the family tree.

Not to mention the direct descendants of the Gu family, even Mr. Zhang, a member of the same generation as Mr. Gu, did not agree with it.

The old man's family hadn't been divided yet, but it was stuck on Gu Shuo's family tree. Everyone was talking at once, and Old Gu was so angry that he fainted.

"Rowan."

"Miss."

"Go and take this bottle of medicine to Mr. Gu and tell him to take care of his health." Ye Qianning took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over.

"Yes, I'll go quickly and come back soon." Luo Wen took the medicine and left.

Zhan Chi walked into the pavilion, glanced in the direction Luo Wen left, and sat on a stool: "The Gu family is much more corrupt than the former general's mansion. The prosperity of their offspring is also the cause of trouble."

If you are greedy, you will do bad things.

Ye Qianning didn't say anything. He raised his eyelids and took a look. He looked in good spirits. Young people are always energetic. It has only been two days since he pierced his shoulder, but he looks like nothing happened.

Zhan Chi noticed Ye Qianning's gaze on his shoulder and was immediately delighted: "Don't worry, it's all right now."
