Chapter 36 Doing Nothing

Feeling suspicious, Chunyan peeked through the crack in the door and vaguely saw a man sleeping on the table.

Guessing that the sleeping person was the big man, Chunyan pushed open the door.

"Hey, wake up."

Because it had taken her some effort to find this place, Chunyan's tone wasn't very friendly. But the man ignored her words and remained motionless, slumped over the table.

Seeing this, Chunyan stepped forward and pushed the big man, but to her surprise, the big man fell straight to the ground after being pushed.

Seeing the ligature marks on the burly man's neck, Chunyan was startled and screamed, dropping the wine jar she was holding. With a loud crash, the neighbors nearby rushed over.

After that, Chunyan was taken back to the yamen by the officials as a murderer.

“Miss, although there is no evidence to prove that the eldest young lady did this, I have a feeling that she is involved. Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the young lady fell into the water yesterday and the man died today?”

Most importantly, when she went to the Han family, she saw Pearl next to Gu Shuyan.

Although the figure only flashed by, she was certain she had not mistaken him for someone else.

"If she really framed you, I will never let her get away with it."

Hatred flashed in Gu Yingxue's eyes, and she didn't doubt Chunyan's words at all. She was already resentful about falling into the water, and if Gu Shuyan really did kill and frame Chunyan, then everything before would make sense.

Gu Yingxue took out a bottle of high-quality wound medicine from her bosom and handed it to Chunyan. She then whispered a few words to Chunyan before walking out of the cell.

...

"Did they really say that?"

In the north courtyard of the Marquis's mansion, Gu Shuyan was so shocked by the news that she sat up abruptly in bed.

"That's what the messenger said, miss. What do we do next?"

Mingyu stood calmly to the side, but her constantly waving hands betrayed her inner unease.

"We don't need to do anything next. We just need to wait quietly for the court's verdict. They can't just clear their names of murder. Even if Father wants to help Gu Yingxue, he has to consider the safety of our entire household."

After a moment of shock, Gu Shuyan regained her composure. If things were really as she thought, then Chunyan would be even less likely to come out alive.

Fortunately, Gu Jin had been warned beforehand; otherwise, if Chunyan had really returned to the mansion, wouldn't it have been even more difficult to deal with them in the future?

Mingyu was told to go back and rest, but Gu Shuyan couldn't fall asleep no matter what she did while lying in bed.

Recalling her past life, the downfall of the Gu family and the rise of the Li family, some things she had once overlooked slowly came together.

And things that I couldn't understand before are gradually becoming clear at this moment.

"Good, very good! Gu Yingxue and the Li family, how dare you humiliate my Marquis's mansion like this! I will make you receive the punishment you deserve."

That night, Gu Shuyan didn't fall asleep until almost dawn.

When she woke up, Gu Shuyan learned two pieces of news. One was that Gu Yingxue had gone to the front yard early in the morning to beg Gu Jin to rescue Chunyan; the other was that Gu Yingjie was clamoring for Gu Yingxue to move out of the Yi'an Marquis's mansion.

According to Mingyu, the situation at Xueyuan is still quite chaotic.

Gu Shuyan had no idea what had gotten into her second brother, but letting Gu Yingxue move out like this would be too easy for her!
