Gu Yunni glanced at Marquis Changping with a firm look in her eyes.

Marquis Changping knew that Gu Yunni was a member of the Xuanmen sect, so she naturally knew more about this matter than others.

In addition to what the national teacher had said, he would rather believe it than not.

"Okay, she does have a point. Let's get the doctor to take a good look at Mingxue. I hope she's okay."

Marquis Changping originally wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but his wife remained adamant and insisted on an explanation.

"My Lord! Are you planning to let this vicious woman off like this? She said such outrageous words. She deserves at least fifty slaps on the face to clear Mingxue's name."

Before Sheng Mingyu could react, a loud slap landed on the face of the wife of the Marquis of Changping, leaving a light red slap mark.

The wife of the Marquis of Changping covered her face, her mind went blank, and she looked at him with confusion.

"Yun Ni is from the Xuanmen sect. How could you say such things to her? She has a point. If you don't want others to know, then you must not do it yourself. Could it be that a wronged spirit would haunt an unrelated person for no reason?"

The Marquis of Changping had a gloomy face, and his eyebrows were wrinkled into the shape of the Chinese character "川".

It’s not that he wants to protect Gu Yunni, but in this situation, perhaps he really needs to rely on Gu Yunni.

The wife of the Marquis of Changping was frightened by his words and actions. She was speechless and shed silent tears.

"The dead girl was named Cui'er. She was the maid who served Mingxue. She died in the mansion of Marquis Changping. In front of so many people, I will definitely give an explanation for this matter." Marquis Changping stared at his tearful wife with his eyes wide open, warning her to tell the truth.

The wife of the Marquis of Changping immediately knelt on the ground and glanced guiltily at the people around her.

"Is Cui'er's death related to Mingxue? We in the Changping Marquis's Mansion cannot raise such a cruel and ruthless woman."

Madam gritted her teeth. For the sake of Kou Mingxue's future, she had no choice but to kowtow to the Marquis of Changping and apologize. "This matter has nothing to do with Mingxue. Cui'er's death is her own fault. We are not to blame! When I was admonishing her, she lost her mind and jumped into the water."

“I didn’t expect it to be like this!”

"I can't believe that the kind-hearted Marquis would go to such lengths for Miss Kou!"

After hearing what the wife of Marquis Changping said, everyone was shocked.

For a moment, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the dead soul.

What surprised everyone even more was that Kou Mingxue had obviously recovered by this time. There was no inexplicable force strangling her neck, and she was slowly standing up with the help of her maid.

Everyone was shocked and looked at Gu Yunni, "Miss Gu, what on earth is going on?"

"Yes, Madam Hou just explained the situation clearly, and Miss Kou has already recovered. Could it be that the wronged spirit has already left?"

Kou Mingxue was looking at Gu Yunni with resentment at this time. She didn't notice that the people around her had been hiding aside since then.

Even if she stood up at this time, no one would approach her, and some would subconsciously avoid her.

That's a wronged soul!

Just because Kou Mingxue is fine now doesn’t mean it will be fine if they meet her. It’s better to stay away from her.

Kou Mingxue didn't notice, so she shouted at Gu Yunni, "Whatever you say is true. Gu Yunni, do you really think you're still a young lady from the Marquis' Mansion? You just caught something against my mother, and now you're spreading it here, do you think I'll believe it?"

Kou Mingxue's words made the female ghost slowly float over again, stand beside her, and give Gu Yunni a pale smile.

Gu Yunni didn't feel scared. She had experienced many things in other worlds that were more frightening and desperate than this, and she had survived them all, hadn't she?

Moreover, the female ghost was not looking for her. All the consequences should be borne by the Marquis' Mansion.

Gu Yunni spread her hands. "What did I say? Was Miss Kou pretending to be in pain just now? Let me remind you, the wronged soul was about to leave because the truth was revealed, but your words made her stay."

"You...what do you mean?" Kou Mingxue screamed in disbelief.

She had indeed felt a physical sensation of suffocation just now. If she hadn't released her strength in the middle, she would have worried that she would have been strangled to death.

But this doesn't mean that she believes what Gu Yunni says.

"What do you think?"

Gu Yunni's expression remained unchanged as she watched the female ghost blow a breath onto Kou Mingxue's face.

The icy coldness Kou Mingxue felt from the side made her shiver deep in her heart and her scalp went numb.

“Ahhh…”

The shrill sound immediately spread throughout the garden, startling a flock of birds.

Kou Mingxue no longer cared about those things and her mind was only thinking about finding a safe place.

The maid followed closely.

This was probably the fastest Kou Mingxue had ever run.

This action immediately caused everyone to laugh.

"Miss Kou is really interesting."

"That's right! First there was that joke, and then there was this. This banquet should have been held in the Marquis' Mansion, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to see such a wonderful show."

When mentioning the Marquis' Mansion, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look towards the Marquis of Changping.

Over there, Marquis Changping was still comforting his wife.

Everyone looked at it and couldn't help but curl their lips.

They all live in the capital, and nothing like this has ever happened. How embarrassing!

How long had Gu Yunni just left the Marquis' Mansion? This happened today. I wonder if the Marquis of Changping will regret it when he sees the chasm between Gu Yunni and Kou Mingxue?

For a moment, everyone looked at the expression of Marquis Changping, but they could not see anything.

When Marquis Changping heard Kou Mingxue's screams, he knew that the Marquis's mansion had lost all face today.

But he had no way to change the situation, so he could only order his servants to go and check on Kou Mingxue.

After coming back to his senses, he spoke tiredly, "I'm sorry, everyone. The Marquis' Mansion really didn't entertain you well today. When things are better, I'll invite you all to come and apologize."

It's just a matter of asking when, and the courtesy is in place.

After hearing this, everyone said goodbye one after another. After watching such a big event, they felt that it was well worth coming here today.

However, there were also people who stood before the Marquis of Changping before leaving and said bluntly: "I have exchanged fish eyes for pearls. I hope the Marquis will not regret it!"

These are naturally the intellectuals who speak out when they don’t like something.

Marquis Changping was accused head-on and was stunned for a long time. When had he ever encountered such a thing before?

Li Zhiqing was also about to leave. Before leaving, he said goodbye to Gu Yunni with a smile, "Let's make an appointment to hang out together when we have time."

Gu Yunni smiled faintly and agreed, "Sure."

Li Zhiqing glanced in the direction Kou Mingxue left and winked, "I wonder if I can encounter such fun things again when I go out again."

Gu Yunni just smiled and said nothing.

She and Sheng Mingyu were also preparing to leave, but Du Changming blocked their way.
