Chapter 185 Return without Success

Pan's face was filled with panic. Even though she was an old bitch who had seen a lot and lived for so many years, she was still shocked by the casualness of Gu Ruanci's words.

"County Lady, that is your biological father after all..."

"If he is not my biological father, why should I hate him?"

Gu Ruanci's answer left Pan speechless.

Yes, wasn't it Zhou Zhili who hurt Ye Hesheng and Gu Ruanci...

"Madam, did you meet me just to say this?" Gu Ruanci took the initiative and asked directly.

Pan just realized what was happening and said, "I'm speaking to the county lady with sincerity. I want to know what kind of outcome she wants. Is there any alternative? Dizhou City is not big, but it's full of dignitaries. No one can guarantee how many generations of wealth will remain in the future, so it's better to have more friends than more enemies."

Listening to Pan's nonsense, Gu Ruanci found it even more ridiculous.

"Perhaps the old lady has seen too many cases of people selling their daughters for personal gain and reconciling with their mother's murderers. I have no way to help you. What the old lady said just now is partly right and partly wrong. Although you married into the Ye family after my grandmother passed away, you haven't given my mother the honor of being a legitimate daughter over the years. Since you entered the Ye family, my grandmother's spirit tablet cannot appear, right?"

Pan opened her mouth, but had no way to refute.

"Your actions towards my mother weren't just about calculating her dowry, but I don't have time to explain it in detail. My mother is a woman, and after getting married, she has become a strong support for the family. I don't know why the old lady has been calculating against her."

"In the end, do I need to elaborate on Ye Lanxin's story?"

Pan really had no way to refute this statement.

Seeing her dazed look, Gu Ruanci suddenly said, "My mother took me away back then, away from all these disputes. You have already won a great victory. Why are there still people who refuse to let us go and send assassins to chase us all the way?"

Pan panicked this time. She immediately said, "We absolutely don't know about this. After all, we are no longer in a position to do such things..."

Gu Ruanci corrected her: "You are the most qualified to do these things..."

"Really not. After your mother took you away, we had already achieved our goal, even exceeding expectations. There was no need to kill her again. Besides, Lan Xin's reputation was ruined by that incident. If we really did something even more outrageous, whether we succeeded or not, it would not benefit us in any way. Think about it, isn't that right?"

Gu Ruanci had been observing her reaction the entire time, and it certainly didn't seem like she was pretending.

She suddenly brought up this matter just to test him.

The pursuit that year was her only confusion now.

As long as she finds out who sent the killer, she will know who her enemies are.

"I don't trust anyone in this matter. I only trust my own investigation. If I really find out that the matter is related to the Ye family in the future, the old lady should pray that her children and grandchildren can take care of her when they go to hell."

After hearing this, Mrs. Pan's face became even uglier.

She knew that the deadlock between her and Gu Ruanci was truly unbreakable.

"County Lady, your grandfather is already very old, and now he's experienced the deaths of two grandchildren in quick succession. If you have time, can you go see him? I know you can't forgive him, but can you please make him feel a little better, considering that he has missed you and your daughter all these years?"

"I really can't. Don't worry, he won't die..."

Gu Ruanci would never forgive Ye Keguan, no matter how much he regretted it over the years.

Anyway, over the years, he has never protected his mother or himself.

After hearing this answer, Mrs. Pan didn't say anything. In fact, she should have been mentally prepared a long time ago.

"Well, it seems that I was indeed presumptuous today..."

"Yes, you are indeed very presumptuous..."

Pan was almost defeated. This bitch, bitch!

She gritted her teeth, trying not to show her anger.

Gu Ruanci stood up and said, "Old Madam, I'm in a good mood today, so I gave you this face. In the future, if it's for such trivial matters, please don't bother me. Take care."

After saying that, she left.

"Old Madam, she is too arrogant..."

The people had already walked away before the nanny who had just been beaten dared to speak.

I don’t know what the maid next to Gu Ruanci ate, her hands were so strong.

The gloom in Pan's eyes could no longer be controlled, and she started swearing.

"Bitch, she is a bitch. I want to see how long she can be so proud..."

She got on the carriage angrily and headed towards the Ye family.

At this time, Zhang Jian, who had recovered his strength, was reporting his movements to Ye Chi.

"Second Master, I haven't seen that bitch Yunxiang..."

"Didn't you say you've seen the mark she left behind?"

Ye Chi looked at Zhang Jian with sharp eyes.

"After I went there, I almost bumped into the Chaoyang County Master, so I didn't dare go forward... It seems that the County Master didn't take the person back directly, but is recuperating outside..."

Ye Chi thought for a moment and said, "I didn't expect that Gu Ruanci, despite being so young, would be so cautious..."

"Don't worry, Second Master. I'll go over there tomorrow and try to find a way to see Yunxiang."

"Don't force it. As long as she can save the person, she already has a chance. Yunxiang's family is still in our hands, she won't dare say anything. No matter how cautious Gu Ruanci is, what can she do? At Yunxiang's age, I don't believe she has no compassion as a doctor."

Ye Chi didn't ask any further questions, and Zhang Jian behaved very naturally.

Ye Cheng looked at Zhang Jian and asked, "Madam is still thinking of marrying Yun Duo to you. What do you think?"

Zhang Jian quickly said, "Madam, this is such a kind offer, how could I refuse it? However, Yunxiang is still useful now. If she knew about these changes, I'm afraid she might have second thoughts... If I had too many concerns, I would be foolish. I am willing to accept the reward from the Marquis and Madam..."

As they were talking, a servant came to report that the old lady had returned and was very unhappy.

Ye Cheng and Ye Chi immediately asked Zhang Jian to leave and stood up to greet Pan.

"Mother, what happened?"

When Ye Cheng saw Pan's expression, he knew that she was indeed angry.

"This bitch is so ungrateful..."

Pan only said this and continued walking forward, not even paying attention to the hand Ye Cheng had extended.

When they arrived at the main hall, Mrs. Pan asked everyone to come over and also asked the old man to come over.

Soon, everyone came. Ye Keguan also heard that Pan was very angry outside, but he didn't know why.

After everyone arrived, Pan said to Ye Keguan, "Master, I really tried my best. I thought that by sacrificing my reputation and bowing to Gu Ruanci, I could make her soften her attitude, but she turned out to be really infuriating. Madam, please tell everyone what Gu Ruanci said."
