Chang'an fell to the ground, her palms bleeding, and she frowned in pain.
Bei Ming Ye glared at Gu Shijia fiercely, turned around to help Chang'an up, but Chang'an dodged him.
"Fourth Prince." Chang'an's face was slightly cold. He avoided Bei Mingye and put his hand directly on Wan Xin's body. "It's better for you to accompany your cousin and talk."
After saying this, he was already supported by Wanxin and walked out of the ancestral hall.
A few words are sent in the wind.
It was Chang'an's voice that sounded slightly reproachful, "Auntie, you really shouldn't have been silent just now outside the door."
"I was wrong, but the Fourth Prince forbade me to speak, so I dared not.
I was worried that the young lady had caught a cold, so I went out to look for her wearing a cloak, and I ran into the Fourth Prince..."
After the two left for a distance, Gu Changan and Aunt Wanxin went in different directions.
After a cup of tea, Wanxin walked towards a small bamboo forest in the general's mansion. Although the bamboo forest was not big, it was dense enough.
Inside the bamboo forest, the woman was quiet and independent, waiting for Wanxin with a calm face.
Hearing the footsteps, Chang'an turned around with a smile.
"Miss," Wan Xin said with a smile, "it's just as you guessed.
After we left, the Fourth Prince really comforted Miss Shijia with kind words and promised that he would marry her.
Moreover, when the Fourth Prince apologized to Miss Shijia, there was no trace of guilt or heartache in his eyes; he was unusually calm."
Gu Changan didn't speak immediately. He felt indescribable bitterness in his heart, and a feeling of sadness suddenly slipped into his heart.
It’s really not worth it for the daughter of the Gu family.
It turned out that it was just as he had guessed. In Bei Mingye's heart, there was no place for Gu Shijia.
Everything he did was just for that high position.
Chang'an wondered what she would do if Gu Shijia found out about Bei Mingye's thoughts?
Will it be as painful as my previous life when I knew the truth?
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the bamboo forest, gradually getting closer.
After a moment, Wanxin signaled Chang'an with a look. Her voice had already reached Chang'an's ears without her lips moving.
Gu Changan immediately felt powerless. This prince was really stupid. He actually ran to the general's mansion at this critical moment.
The master and servant looked at each other and spoke the moment the prince approached.
Changan, "How could Miss Shijia be so foolish as to do such a thing?
If the Crown Prince knew about this, wouldn't it be devastating for the entire General's Mansion?"
Wan Xin, "Yes, no matter how much Miss Shijia dislikes the Crown Prince, she shouldn't have given her pure body to the Fourth Prince.
And the Fourth Prince knew that our Miss Shijia was the future Crown Princess.
He actually wants to get involved. Isn't he worried about offending the Crown Prince?"
Chang'an glanced outside the bamboo forest and saw the bright yellow cloth feet being messed up by the wind.
She raised the corners of her lips slightly and continued, "Maybe Miss Shijia really likes the Fourth Prince.
Besides, the Fourth Prince is also a prince. Doesn’t he like that high and mighty position?
Our master holds military power, and marrying Miss Shijia is like a ladder to heaven."
Wan Xin's tone was filled with curiosity and confusion, "That being said, the prince is the emperor's treasure, how can he let them go?"
Gu Changan, "That's hard to say. The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince are both the Emperor's sons.
Besides, our Miss Shijia has never been to the Prince's Mansion.
The Emperor, considering our Grand Master and Grand Master’s reputation, will probably not do anything.”
"It's a pity for the prince. Not only will his own princess be snatched away, but he will also lose the support of our eldest master."
Gu Changan, "That depends on what the prince cares about.
If I were the prince, I would pretend to know nothing and marry Miss Shijia directly.
After all, the military power in the hands of the eldest master is the most important. If he ascends to the highest position one day, it will still be the Crown Prince who has the final say."
Wan Xin hummed, as if she suddenly thought of something, "Why am I talking about this with a little girl like you?
If anyone hears us, we'll both be dead."
"Um...I didn't say anything..."
"Luckily no one heard it, let's go..."
"Go! Go!"
Gu Changan and Wanxin quickly left the bamboo forest from the other side.
However, the prince who passed by here frowned and looked at the person behind him.
There was anger in his tone, "What did you hear?"
Li Shan, who was following the prince, had a confused look on his face.
"Master, I don't understand what you mean. I didn't hear anything."
In fact, Li Shan was telling the truth. He really didn't hear anything.
Just now, Gu Changan and Wanxin deliberately said something to the prince, and they used their internal energy to transmit the sound into his ears.
The prince, looking at Li Shan's expression, thought that he was just a servant who knew when to advance and when to retreat, so he didn't hear anything he said.
At this time, the prince's anger had been reduced by half, and he had become more rational. He needed to replan this matter.
Chang'an believed that what he had just said was so clear that no matter how stupid the prince was, he would understand what was most important.
When she returned to her yard, she saw Meng Tan following her father.
"Uncle Meng, is my father back?" Although it was a question, there was a hint of certainty in Chang'an's words.
She remembered that in her previous life, after she got into trouble, her father rushed back immediately.
"Miss." Meng Tan said with a smile, "No, it was your father who asked his men to take you to stay in Plum Garden for a while.
The carriage is waiting outside."
Why is it different from what I experienced in my previous life?
In my previous life, I really wanted to go to the plum garden with my father, but my father would not let me.
She knew what her father was thinking because her mother had died in childbirth and her father had mixed feelings about her.
Chang'an temporarily put aside his doubts and instructed Wanxin beside him, "Go tell my grandfather and say..."
"Miss." Meng Tan, who was standing by, interrupted Chang'an and said, "I have already reported this to the Master.
He has agreed that we should hurry now, otherwise we might not arrive before dark."
"Okay. Aunt, go and bring some simple clothes for a change of clothes. I'll wait for you in the carriage."
After Chang'an gave the order, he left with Meng Tan.
But when she walked out of the general's mansion, she unexpectedly saw the ninth prince Bei Mingxuan in silver clothes.
His half-smiled gaze fell on Chang'an's veil.
If you look closely at that cold look, it seems to carry a little bit of heat.
Like sunlight, it penetrated the veil and hit Chang'an's skin.
When Chang'an met his eyes, he clearly sensed the meaning in Bei Mingxuan's eyes.
Perhaps because he felt guilty and discovered his true identity, he had an urge to escape and dodge.
But there was a kind of stubbornness that refused to admit defeat, driving her to look Bei Mingxuan in the eye.
