Chapter 163: The Marquis's Imprisonment

When Cai heard the news, she simply didn't come back and sent someone to deliver a divorce letter to Chen Yusheng.

She doesn't want her husband or children anymore.

Chen Yusheng's wives and concubines had no property left and their houses had been confiscated by the government, so now they had no place to live.

They were originally after Chen Yusheng's money, so naturally they didn't want to live with him anymore.

He took all his valuables and private money and ran away overnight.

All these things were said by Li Yuan and Yun Qiao.

It sounds quite exciting.

During this period, because Li Yuan often went to the Marquis' Mansion to visit the old lady, he also often accompanied the old lady. In their spare time, the two sat together and chatted a lot.

"There's one more thing. The morning after the ancestor woke up, when I woke up, you had already left. I heard Chen Yuan crying in the backyard, so I went to check on her. I just asked her a few questions, and she cried even harder, saying..."

Li Yuan paused as he spoke.

Yun Qiao glanced at her and said, "If you have something to say, just say it directly. Do we still have to be like this? Cousin, I have cleared up all your misunderstandings about me. You can't let your imagination run wild anymore."

No one expected that Li Yuan would misunderstand her and Gu Heng...

She thought Gu Heng was gentle, but she didn't like him.

Who does Yun Qiao like?

She is not the type of person who likes love between men and women, which is tiring both physically and mentally.

He will not flirt with other women.

Li Yuan blushed when he heard Yun Qiao speak so frankly.

"You're still saying that. Didn't I already tell you that I misunderstood you? And you're deliberately saying this to embarrass me."

Yun Qiao said cheerfully, "I'm not like you, a love-brained person."

"What is love brain?" Li Yuan asked her seriously.

Yun Qiao smiled but said nothing. "Don't ask me, answer my question first. What did Chen Yuan say to you?"

"She said, if I were her mother, I would be mean to her and scold her..."

Yun Qiao's smile faded upon hearing this. "She really is good at pretending to be pitiful and aggrieved in front of others."

"Right? I also felt something was wrong, so I told her that your mother is a very good person, and you must have done something wrong. Go back and think about it carefully. Once you figure it out, go tell your mother, and she will definitely forgive you."

"I don't know if she understood. I saw that she couldn't hold on any longer from her kneeling position, so even when I called her to get up, she still didn't want to. It was only when I called Second Master over that I finally let her get up."

"That's exactly what I was thinking. Chen Yuan isn't that worry-free. You need to keep a closer eye on her from now on."

Yun Qiao nodded. "I've had someone investigate this matter thoroughly. Ever since her biological mother came to her, she's been feeling restless. Before, she wanted to help her brother. I think that as a sister, she cares about her brother, which shows the deep bond they have. This child is very sentimental."

"But now, I feel that it's not true. What she calls valuing feelings is what she thinks is important..."

When Chen Yuan was brought here, she was already able to remember things.

Knowing that Yun Qiao is not her biological mother, she respects her, but there is no emotional connection between them.

In addition, Yun Qiao left the Marquis' Mansion and became a princess, and gave birth to her three children in the princess's mansion.

This made Chen Yuan feel that Yun Qiao would definitely love her own children more in the future.

Before Yunqiao gave birth to her child, Chen Yuan told her brother that she would talk to her mother in the future and ask her mother to bring her brother home.

Together with her, we become a pair of children for our mother.

But now, seeing that Yun Qiao had given birth to her own child, she was worried that her mother would give all the family property to her own child in the future. What would she and her brother do?

In addition, instigated by Chen Yuan's mother, she began to test Yun Qiao intentionally or unintentionally.

He wanted Yun Qiao to know her inner anxiety so that he could give her some family property to coax her.

Yun Qiao had said to Chen Yuan jokingly before:

I have no children in this life, so I treat you as my own.

In the future, everything in my hands will be yours. As long as you study hard and be a good person, I will definitely not treat you unfairly.

Chen Yuan felt that Yun Qiao would leave everything she had to Chen Yuan alone.

But now, Chen Yuan was panicking.

He was eager to get some of Yun Qiao's property.

It’s just that the way he eats is a bit ugly.

After all, they are young and immature, and their desires are urgent, so there are many loopholes.

That greedy face also makes people feel disgusted.

Although Chen Yuan is disgusting now, she is the child given to her by Chen Jingyan after all, and it is Chen Jingyan who wants to give her an attitude towards her identity.

As long as Chen Yuan doesn't make a big mistake, Yun Qiao won't make things worse.

Even if he couldn't help but dislike her, he would still raise her and give her a dowry.

But if Chen Yuan continues to cause trouble, don't blame her for being rude.

When Li Yuan heard Yun Qiao say this, he felt relieved.

"I'm glad you know what's going on. I was worried you didn't know, and I also wondered if I was being overly suspicious. Now it seems I'm not even as thoughtful as she is."

Yun Qiao smiled.

Suddenly, Li Yuan asked Yun Qiao if the Marquis had contacted her.

"Do you know something?" Yun Qiao asked Li Yuan.

It had been some time since the old lady was poisoned. She had heard from Gu Heng before that at that time the old lady was really critically ill, so he also sent the news to Chen Jingyan.

Normally, so much time has passed and there should be some news.

But not only did Chen Jingyan not reply, there was no news about him at all.

Yun Qiao still thought that he was quietly doing something big. After all, it was their silent efforts that enabled His Royal Highness Prince Yu to ascend the throne.

When Yun Qiao heard Li Yuan's words today, her heart skipped a beat.

"Yuan Niang, you must tell me something."

Li Yuan looked around and asked everyone in front of him to leave.

Then he said to Yun Qiao, "It was the night before last. I vaguely heard some movement outside, so I got up to take a look. I saw the noise coming from Second Master's room, so I went to eavesdrop and heard..."

"I heard the Second Master tell someone that the Marquis had an accident outside the pass and that someone was missing."

Yun Qiao suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Could it be that what Xiao Lao San said before about the imprisonment was true?

But during this period of time, I couldn't hear the voice of the third child.

"I'm going to find the Second Master."

Yun Qiao stood up and walked out. Li Yuan was afraid because she was afraid that Gu Heng would find out that she was eavesdropping outside.

However, the fact that she was caught eavesdropping by Gu Heng was nothing compared to the news that the Marquis was safe outside.

She accompanied Yun Qiao to find Gu Heng.

Gu Heng was in the study, also worried about this matter.

Hearing the noise outside the door, he knew it was Princess Huayang who came.

"You..." Pushing the door open, he saw Yun Qiao and Li Yuan. His eyes fell on Li Yuan, "Why did you bring the princess to my study?"

"That's why I came." Yun Qiao asked directly, "I want to know everything about the Marquis. Everything you know."

Gu Heng's eyes fell on Li Yuan again.

Li Yuan was a little afraid of him, so he just shrank his shoulders like a little quail, not daring to speak or move.

Yun Qiao said, "This matter has nothing to do with Yuan Niang. I had a dream. I dreamed that the Marquis was shouting for help and was locked up in a prison. I was about to call him when I suddenly woke up..."

Regardless of whether it is true or not, these words were said to test Gu Heng.

Gu Heng was stunned for a moment. "I just found out too. Sanlang might have been imprisoned. Princess, you are really amazing. You even dreamed that Sanlang was imprisoned."

Sure enough, she blew it out.

Gu Heng also told the truth.

Li Yuan listened and then interjected, "Sister Qiao and the Marquis have a deep bond and a strong sense of connection. I think the Marquis must be asking Sister Qiao for help."

Gu Heng glared at Li Yuan, and Li Yuan immediately shut up.

Yun Qiao asked him, "Do you know where the Marquis is now?"

Gu Heng then said, "I've consulted Prince Mingyu and Lord Su. The emperor's guards have received news that the Marquis has been abducted by the Mongols. We don't know the exact circumstances at this point. Coincidentally, a Mongols envoy recently visited our court, and we'd like to wait for him to arrive before making a final decision."

Yun Qiao probably understood.

I'm afraid that the envoy has bad intentions and wants to use Chen Jingyan to make a deal with Emperor Showa.

Seeing Yun Qiao remained silent, Gu Heng continued, "Princess, you must trust His Majesty in this matter. He will definitely rescue Sanlang."

Yun Qiao nodded.

"Of course I believe in Your Majesty, but I always feel uneasy in my heart."

Gu Heng said a lot of words to comfort Yun Qiao before letting Li Yuan send her back to the princess's mansion. He didn't want the old lady to know about this. Yun Qiao naturally knew what Gu Heng meant. She nodded and said nothing.

After Yun Qiao left, Gu Heng called Li Yuan.

"Go back to the house..."

"W-what?"

Li Yuan saw that what he said was not right, so he did not dare to ask loudly.

He stammered softly, "You just promised Sister Qiao that you wouldn't hold me accountable. You can't settle the score now."

Seeing her like this, Gu Heng lost his temper.

But he still put on a stern face and went back to the house to scold his wife.
