The fake young lady, who was mistakenly swapped at birth into the Changping Marquisate, insisted on leaving the Marquisate to return home and become a village girl. The entire capital waited to see...
"Let's go back to the yard. I'm a little tired."
Gu Yunni has not come out since she returned to the yard, and the maids made a lot of pastries for her.
She sat in the rocking chair in the yard, enjoying the cool breeze.
Sheng Mingyu was busy on the dam and also helped the governor deal with the people's problems.
When he returned, he called Gu Yunni to have dinner and then left the house together.
Night fell quietly, and the governor had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
The governor became excited when he saw Gu Yunni appear.
God knows how much trouble he had been in because of the people today.
"Princess, I beg you to help me with this matter today. Even if it's just to give the people a little peace and stability, as long as you can hold out until the Imperial Master arrives, I won't need you to do anything else."
The governor spoke in a pleading tone, placing all his hopes on Gu Yunni.
He wrote a letter to Kyoto when he returned today, but it would take at least half a month for the Imperial Master to arrive.
When they arrived at the scene of the incident, all the people there had already evacuated.
The governor reacted relatively quickly and set up a refugee camp in a remote area.
The people have already moved there. At least there are more people there, which makes everyone feel more at ease.
"Princess, we've been here for almost the entire night, and daybreak is almost here. Do you think those little devils will come again? Perhaps the noise we made yesterday was too loud, and they got a little panicked?"
The three of them stood outside until the governor's body was almost stiff.
In the past, whenever he sat in the mansion, there would be many people helping him deal with his problems.
But now it’s no longer possible. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here and he can’t be lazy.
In fact, Gu Yunni was also tired. If Sheng Mingyu hadn't been holding her from behind, she would have collapsed from exhaustion.
"How should I know? Isn't this just a gamble? If they come at the last minute, we might not be able to catch them even if we rush out of the house."
"Yes, don't be anxious, just wait and see. I have a feeling that a little ghost will appear today. Don't you see the cold wind blowing now? It should be here soon."
Sheng Mingyu is more confident than them, and his fate also makes him more sensitive to the cold wind.
Sure enough, after a while, the howling ghost sound was heard again.
The governor now only felt fortunate that he had the foresight to relocate all the people, otherwise it would have caused another huge uproar.
He was now listening to the ghost's howling sounds at the scene, feeling very uneasy.
"Princess, there are so many ghosts? What should we do? How about you deal with it here, and I'll wait for you in the carriage next to you?"
The governor's legs were shaking.
He knew he was embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do.
He had never seen a ghost in his life, let alone on such a large scale.
Gu Yunni rolled her eyes.
"If you leave my side now and something happens, I won't be able to save you in time. You might as well just stand here."
"Oh! Okay!" When the governor heard this, he immediately grabbed Gu Yunni's clothes.
Gu Yunni seemed to be the only person at the scene who could save him. If he stayed too far away from her, who knew what would happen.
Sheng Mingyu was watching from the side with rage.
How can you be so rude?
The governor suddenly shuddered and moved his hand to Sheng Mingyu again, thinking he had caught the wrong person...
"Your Highness, I was just too nervous just now. Princess, how should we handle this?"
He smiled flatteringly and turned the topic to Gu Yunni. It was really too stressful to get along with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
I wonder what His Majesty is thinking. Shouldn't His Royal Highness be even more formidable on the battlefield? Why was he suddenly sent to Jiangnan?
The little ghosts gradually approached, and Gu Yunni used a talisman to cover the three of them.
The governor finally calmed down for a while. She didn't expect that a talisman from her could actually scare away all the ghosts around her.
The governor hid nearby without saying a word. The little ghosts rushed to Gu Yunni, telling her all about their suffering.
But what the governor heard was the howling sound of a ghost.
The more Gu Yunni listened, the heavier her expression became.
She asked why it was on such a large scale, and it turned out that she had a lot of unspeakable grievances.
Sheng Mingyu could also understand it. The two looked at each other and realized that a huge murder had occurred in Jiangnan in the past.
It must be the problem of the previous governor, he thought about it carefully.
The previous governor was Du Changming’s man.
Gu Yunni didn't believe it outright, and inquired carefully, "Were you all wrongly killed? Then why didn't you make a fuss for so many years, but it became so serious recently? Did someone give you a heads-up?"
This happened as soon as they arrived. It was obvious that their target was her, but she and the little ghost didn't know each other.
Besides, they are ghosts, without much thinking, so why would they only come towards me?
The little ghosts whimpered again, but there was no answer.
Gu Yunni was very upset after hearing this.
The governor was trembling with fear. He watched the two men talking to the little ghost and suspected that they were sick.
"Princess, what's going on? They're whimpering, it's really scary. Can you think of a solution? If there's any grievance, we can just resolve it."
Gu Yunni frowned and felt extremely irritated.
"Don't say any more. They hate you now. When they hear that you are an adult here, they can't wait to pounce on you and bite your bones into pieces."
However, since she has taken over, she has to see it through to the end.
Gu Yunni calmed down for a moment before continuing the conversation, "If you have any grievances, I can help you resolve them once the dam issue is resolved."
The other side also sent a representative, but it was just a little ghost whimpering.
"Why should I believe you? What if you're putting on a show? We've sought justice more than ten times and have seen plenty of liars!"
"Right! Let's solve it now, otherwise we'll make noise all night and this place will become a deserted city sooner or later!"
These little devils were already bloodthirsty and even threatened Gu Yunni.
Because of her soft attitude, they felt they could take the bigger advantage.
"Of course I won't go back on my word. This is the only choice you have. Do you want to talk?"
Gu Yunni had an indifferent expression.
He is so shameless that he actually negotiates terms with me.
If anyone displeased her, she would just use a talisman to turn them into ashes.
The little ghosts looked at each other, all considering the truthfulness of Gu Yunni's words.
"I'll give you five breaths of time. If you don't want to, then I'll deal with it directly. You should have been reincarnated after death. It's your resentment that has kept you here until now. I'm sending you there. It's the proper way."
There was a threat in her tone, she was really losing her patience.
This sentence scared the little ghost next to him.
"No! We can be quiet for a while, but you must promise to help us find the truth and redress our grievances!"
This time it was the leading kid's turn to be frightened and tremble, and he quickly apologized to Gu Yunni.
Its revenge has not yet been taken, so its soul cannot be scattered, nor can it enter the cycle of reincarnation.
"Even if we have agreed on these terms, you should hurry up and leave the city. Find a base outside the city and send me a message. I will inform you as soon as I am done with my work."
