It was late at night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong.
Gu Yunran changed her clothes, put on a mask, and went out of the back door of the Lu Mansion with Taohua. There was a carriage parked at the door.
"lady."
Chen Mo saluted Gu Yunran respectfully.
"Okay, you go back first, Taohua and I will go together."
"yes."
Gu Yunran got on the carriage and saw something moving around in a sack inside. She kicked it and said, "Be quiet, or I'll cut off your tongue."
Hearing Gu Yunran's voice, the person in the sack seemed to be frightened and suddenly stopped moving.
Gu Yunran leaned against the car with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking.
Suddenly, when they reached a small road ahead, the carriage stopped and shook. Gu Yunran was startled and asked, "What happened?"
Taohua lifted the carriage curtain and said to Gu Yunran, "The doctor's house is on fire."
Gu Yunran's heart skipped a beat. "Let's go over there and take a look."
"good."
Taohua drove the carriage over there, but the place was already surrounded by people. Not only could people not get through, let alone cars.
"Madam, I will go down and take a look."
"good."
Taohua came back a moment later. She patted her chest in fear and said, "The house has been burned to ashes. We found nothing."
Gu Yunran finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go."
Then Taohua said, "Someone has reported to the police. A female corpse was found in the river nearby."
"Female corpse?"
Suddenly, a figure flashed through Gu Yunran's mind.
"Is it Pearl?"
Taohua nodded, her eyes red: "Yes."
"But why did she appear there? When I came back, she was fine."
They entered the Lu Mansion together. Although they served different masters, they usually had a good time playing together. Since Zhenzhu went to live with Aunt Fan, she rarely saw her.
The few times I saw her, she was hiding from me.
However, just as Taohua asked this question, she suddenly figured it out. She and Gu Yunran looked at each other and said almost in unison: "It's Aunt Fan."
"The government will definitely ask the Lu family to identify the person tomorrow. You go and find a good place for her." Gu Yunran felt a little sorry.
Pearl is smart and capable, and has always been honest.
It was actually destroyed by Fan Meiniang's hands.
"good."
Taohua turned the carriage around and continued to the shogunate. At the gate of the shogunate, she looked for a long time, took a deep breath, and couldn't help asking: "Will he help me?"
Taohua thought for a moment and said, "Maybe."
She doesn't know either.
When Gu Yunran came knocking on the door, it was Qianli who opened it. He was not surprised to see Gu Yunran, but said, "Madam, please come in. The master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Gu Yunran was stunned: "Why is he waiting for me?"
"No, how did he know I would be back today?"
Qianli pinched his nose. Could he say that his master had always asked him to keep an eye on her movements?
He was a personal bodyguard and commander of thousands of troops, but he followed a woman like Gu Yunran secretly every day as if nothing had happened. He almost blurted it out.
"The last time the Zheng family held a peach blossom banquet..."
Before Qianli finished speaking, Mu Qianchen came out of the study and glared at him: "You are so free, choose a cemetery for yourself tomorrow."
Qianli pinched his nose and was about to cry: "Master, I was wrong."
He left in disgrace.
Gu Yunran almost laughed out loud as she watched Qianli running away. Mu Qianchen frowned: "Is he good-looking?"
Gu Yunran nodded subconsciously. Seeing that Mu Qianchen's eyes were getting darker and darker, she shook her head and smiled: "Not as good-looking as you."
"anthomaniac."
Mu Qianchen's expression was indifferent, but the moment he turned around, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose slightly, and he seemed to be in a very happy mood.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Seeing her come in, he closed the study door.
Gu Yunran took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and placed them on the desk. "This is the profit of your pharmacy last month. This is one-third of the profit."
"Since I've given it to you, I have no intention of sharing the profits."
"No reward without merit. I can't take your things for free if I didn't help Lord Mu." Mu Qianchen rubbed his eyebrows, walked to Gu Yunran, and put his arms around her waist.
He leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Is it enough to buy you?"
Gu Yunran's body stiffened, a surge of anger rising in his heart, "Mu Qianchen, what do you want to do?"
As soon as she turned her head, Mu Qianchen lowered his head and kissed her lips, suppressing all her anger in her heart. Gu Yunran reached out to push him away.
He held her restless hand in his backhand.
"Be good, don't move."
Gu Yunran unexpectedly became quiet for some unknown reason. It was unknown how long passed before Mu Qianchen let her go. However, when he saw the redness and swelling on her cheeks, his beautiful brows drooped.
"What's wrong with your face?"
Gu Yunran reached out and touched her cheek. Lu Qingzhou had slapped her really hard. Zhuye applied ointment on her, but the swelling hadn't completely gone down yet.
"It's okay." She said lightly.
Family disgrace should not be made public, and she didn't want others to laugh at her.
"He fought well."
Gu Yunran pursed her lips and said nothing. She remembered the important matter she came here for today and asked, "I need your help with something."
"explain."
Mu Qianchen's voice was cold, and Gu Yunran was startled. She didn't know what was wrong with this King of Hell. Why did it feel like he was going to kill someone?
She swallowed and said, "There's a man in the carriage at the door. Please help look after him for a while. You don't have to treat him any differently. Just give him some food so he won't starve to death."
"I have a use for this person, so I must not let the news get out."
"You have so many requests." Mu Qianchen's fingers tapped on the table intermittently, and his beautiful phoenix eyes swept across Gu Yunran's swollen cheek.
His gloomy face was even more terrifying.
Suddenly, he said, "What do you think would happen if I killed Lu Qingzhou?"
Gu Yunran was shocked: "He didn't commit any serious crime, why did you kill him?"
"Are you heartbroken?"
Gu Yunran wanted to shake her head. How could she feel sorry for Lu Qingzhou? She wanted to cut him into pieces, but letting him die so easily would be too easy for him.
She would repay him a hundredfold and a thousandfold for all the suffering she had endured in her previous life.
However, when she glanced, she saw a handkerchief hanging on the pen holder on the desk, with thin white silk and soft silk cloth.
That was a handkerchief sewn by my mother herself. She and Gu Qingyue each had one. There was no third one in the world, and hers had been lost.
This one must be Gu Qingyue's.
He cleared out all the famous crafts just to hang out Gu Qingyue's handkerchief. How much does he care about her?
Gu Yunran's breathing suddenly stopped and his chest ached inexplicably.
She nodded: "Yes, Lu Qingzhou is my husband, how can I bear to see him die."
Mu Qianchen sneered: "You endured it even if he hit you?"
Gu Yunran took a deep breath: "Yes! Who made me like him?"
