Upon hearing this, Gu Qianlu refilled Gu Zijun's glass, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes, and said coldly,
"Brother, please don't mention General Chen again. I have nothing to do with him anymore."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! We won't mention it then!"
"What's the status of the case involving Lin Ruoyan and the Zhang family?"
Gu Qianlu rushed back to the capital to find out the progress of the matter.
"Don't worry! Officer Liu has already confronted all the witnesses with all the evidence."
With the evidence irrefutable, the two women had nothing to say and could only plead guilty.
"Oh? Do you know what became of them?"
"He will be executed in ten days."
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianlu was startled; the matter she had been worried about for so long had finally come to a conclusion.
She raised her glass and clinked it against Gu Zijun's.
"Let's drink and be merry while we can! Come, brother, let me toast you!"
"Drink less. You know you can't hold your liquor."
"What's there to be afraid of! This is Lotus Garden, not the Marquis's mansion. This is my home! Hehe!"
I never want to go back to that wretched place, the Marquis's mansion, again!
Even if Chen Jinheng begs me, I won't go back!
Hmph! Just think about how the Marquis's mansion treated me back then?
The second wife of the Marquis's mansion? Pshaw! I don't care! I'm the only one who matters!
Gu Qianluo has been sensitive to alcohol since childhood; even a small sip will slowly make her drunk.
Seeing her disheveled appearance, Gu Zijun sighed helplessly, rubbing his forehead, and muttered to himself,
"Sigh! My sister is great in every way, except she can't hold her liquor."
Gu Zijun was still blaming himself when a cold voice rang out, "Gu Zijun! Why did you give her alcohol?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Jinheng flew down from the roof of the Lotus Garden, grabbed Gu Zijun by the collar, and angrily rebuked him.
Gu Zijun snorted coldly, looked at Chen Jinheng with disdain, and said with a wry smile,
"You care about her so much? Why didn't you stop her?"
Oh! By the way, our Luo'er doesn't really like you these days.
If you know what's good for you, don't mess with her.
As the saying goes, "Haste makes waste." If you dare force her, I'll make you pay!
After saying that, Gu Zijun shook off Chen Jinheng's hand and walked into the side room.
Chen Jinheng narrowed his eyes and quickly found Gu Qianluo's room.
At this moment, the two maids guarding outside the room saw Chen Jinheng arrive and their eyes showed a hint of surprise.
"Greetings, General Chen. This is the young lady's room. Please, General Chen, stay here."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinheng's eyes darkened, and he roared sharply.
"How dare you! Don't you know the relationship between me and your young lady?"
Upon hearing this, the two maids remained calm and continued to stand guard outside the door obediently.
"Young Master Gu has ordered that if General Chen comes looking for him, he should be turned away!"
We are only following orders, so please, General Chen, do not make things difficult for us."
"Everyone knows that General Chen and the eldest daughter had already ended their relationship a year ago on the day the Marquis's mansion issued the divorce notice."
The night is deep and the dew is heavy; I hope General Chen will not catch a cold. Please return!
A letter of divorce! It was that same letter of divorce he hadn't even glanced at!
Chen Jinheng narrowed his eyes slightly, a bitter feeling rising in his heart.
"This letter of divorce wasn't written by me, so it doesn't count!"
I was destined to fall deeply in love with your young lady.
Don't you think it's going too far to break up this loving couple?
"General, please don't be offended. In fact, the young lady gave an order that if she sees you coming, you should be turned away at the door."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jinheng felt a little uneasy.
Knowing that this was Gu Qianluo's idea, he was unwilling to offend her any further.
"This is a hangover pill that I often use. Just take one and the effects of alcohol will dissipate from your body."
Remember to tell your young lady that this was a gift from me to him.
Since you don't want to see me, then I won't force you."
"General Chen, please take care!"
After Chen Jinheng left, the two maids guarding the door immediately pushed open the door to the side room.
"Miss! Miss! Quick! This is a hangover pill that General Chen specially prepared for you. Just take one, and it will remove the alcohol poisoning from your body."
Gu Qianlu was feeling dizzy and lightheaded from the effects of alcohol. Upon hearing about hangover pills, she swallowed them without hesitation.
However, because the hangover pill was designed to be chewed, and the pill was particularly large, Gu Qianluo hadn't even had a chance to look at it before it got stuck in her throat!
"Cough! Cough!"
Seeing that her neck was being choked, the maid quickly handed her water.
"Miss! Miss! Drink some water!"
After swallowing the pill, Gu Qianlu felt reborn in no time. She quickly regained her senses and was even a little excited.
"Hey! These pills are pretty good! Where did you get them?"
"Young Miss, this was specially delivered for you by General Chen."
"General Chen? He's come to the capital too?"
Gu Qianlu's heart sank. She quickly packed her things, put on the Hundred Flowers Sect's uniform, and left Lotus Garden under the cover of darkness.
Dali Temple
The jailer guarding Lin Ruoyan saw Gu Qianluo and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Young master, who are you...?"
Gu Qianluo pulled a token off her person and said coldly, "Jun Lan, the sect leader of the Hundred Flowers Sect of the Free and Unfettered Sect."
"So it's Young Master Junlan. Is there something important that you've come to visit so late at night?"
"I came here on General Chu's orders to see if Lin Ruoyan is with you."
"Oh! You mean Miss Lin from the Marquis's mansion?"
"Yes! May I go inside and have a look?"
"Young Master Junlan, this way please. We only have a quarter of an hour for visiting, so please cooperate."
