Chapter 24 No one has made any progress

The one who took the initiative to talk to Gu Chenran was the Ninth Prince, who was also the youngest prince and had just come of age this year.

The ninth prince's mother and the Marquis of Pingyang are distant relatives, with several levels of distance between them.

The Ninth Prince's mother's own parents are very ordinary, and there is no promising brother in the family to support and help.

Therefore, the Ninth Prince has always been very close to Marquis Pingyang, actually he also wants to get Marquis Pingyang's help.

It’s just that Marquis Pingyang doesn’t seem to be very interested in this aspect.

Even though the Ninth Prince was very attentive, Marquis Pingyang's performance was mediocre.

He is the emperor's best friend and of course will not take sides with any prince. He is only loyal to the emperor's orders.

The Ninth Prince was not in a hurry either. He just wanted to have more interactions with the Pingyang Marquis' family.

To outsiders, they are relatives and close to each other, so they are naturally from the same faction.

What the Ninth Prince Gu Junxuan asked Gu Chenran just now was: "I saw that Fourth Prince was in good spirits today. I heard that he accompanied the princess back home two days ago. It seems that he is in high spirits because of the good news."

Unexpectedly, Gu Chenran turned around and said to him, how do you know that my princess is kind and powerful.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Gu Junxuan could only continue the conversation himself: "It seems that the fourth prince is very satisfied and likes the new princess!"

Gu Chenran nodded: "Of course."

Gu Junxuan again: "..."

When the Emperor arranged for Prince Chen to marry the foolish eldest daughter of the Wen family, he became a laughing stock in the entire capital.

Everyone laughed at him behind his back, saying that it seemed that the emperor really hated this son who had repeatedly embarrassed the royal family.

But now Princess Chen made her first public appearance after her marriage, and she didn’t look as foolish as the rumors said.

On the contrary, she was not only beautiful and lively, her appearance overshadowed all the beauties in the garden, but she was also a guest of honor of the Marquis of Pingyang and his wife.

You have to know how aloof the Pingyang Marquis and his wife are usually. Even though he is just a marquis, even princes and ministers would not give him face if they were unwilling.

Not only did Princess Chen not become a laughing stock of Gu Chenran, but many people were saying that the rumors were indeed not credible, and that Gu Chenran, a crazy and disabled prince, was really lucky to marry such a princess.

The questions that Gu Junxuan asked Gu Chenran were not just greetings, but more like a test.

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether his father knew the true situation of the eldest daughter of the Wen family, so he granted the marriage.

Does the emperor still have expectations for Gu Chenran, the former genius?

However, Gu Chenran’s attitude now made it impossible for him to find out anything.

It seems that Gu Chenran really likes Princess Chen.

No one noticed that when Gu Chenran turned around to drink tea, a flash of coldness flashed across his lowered eyes.

These people's methods are as low-level as ever.

Even though he has become like this, there are still people who are afraid of him.

As if his existence was a mistake.

The rest of the banquet went smoothly and ended successfully.

When the banquet was over, Marquis Pingyang and his wife personally escorted Wen Ling to the door and got on the carriage.

Because of Wen Ling, everyone was especially polite to Prince Chen.

The Ninth Prince Gu Junxuan asked half-jokingly, "When did my aunt and uncle become so close to my fourth brother?"

Pingyang Hou glanced at him and said, "Princess Chen is a noble lady in our entire mansion."

There is no more to say about the rest.

Could it be that Princess Chen helped them bring back their youngest daughter’s soul and discovered that their youngest daughter was harmed by someone with ulterior motives?

Not only will not many people believe it, but Princess Chen will also become the talk of the entire capital.

Given Prince Chen's current situation, it would be best for Princess Chen to not say anything more.

Gu Junxuan wanted to ask more questions, but ended up asking for trouble.

Wen Ling nodded and smiled at the Marquis of Pingyang and his wife, then got on the carriage and left.

As soon as he got on the carriage, Gu Chenran asked about what happened after Wen Ling brought Gao Yueyuan in.

Wen Ling made it short and repeated the key points.

Gu Chenran immediately grasped the key point: "The person behind the abduction of Gao Yueyuan did so for the blessing brought by her fate.

This is very similar to the person who set up the soul-sucking formation in my palace. Could they be the same group of people behind them? ”

Wen Ling admired Gu Chenran's sensitivity.

She nodded: "It is very likely that they are from the same group of people. Their methods and purposes are very similar.

Didn’t we lose any clues about them in our house? Maybe we can get some clues this time and follow the clues to get to the bottom of the matter. ”

When Gu Chenran thought of the people behind the scenes who had harmed him to this point, his eyes sank and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Don't worry, we can find them eventually. As long as I'm not dead, I'll find them one day."

Blood feud, never to be resolved.

Wen Ling did not comment.

That night, at the Marquis of Pingyang’s Mansion.

The Pingyang Marquis and his wife drank the calming soup and went to bed early. They were eager to see their daughter in their dreams.

At first, the Marquis's wife was so nervous that she could hardly sleep, because she was so anxious.

The later you go to bed, the less time you will have to see Yuanyuan, right?

In this tense atmosphere, the couple fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, when the first rooster crowed, the couple opened their eyes together.

The two got up and looked at each other, and noticed the smile on each other's face that they had not yet had time to put away.

They had a beautiful dream, in which they did not even realize they were dreaming.

In the dream, the two of them accompanied Gao Yueyuan on a spring outing. They had promised long ago to take Yuanyuan to the hot spring villa, and they also flew a kite with Yuanyuan.

In the dream, they seemed to have forgotten that Yuanyuan was gone, and even forgot that they had spent three full years searching for Yuanyuan.

It seemed as if Yuanyuan had never left, and it was just a very ordinary outing for their family of three.

Until the end, Yuanyuan happily told them that she had fulfilled her last wish. She had always wanted to go out and play with her parents.

Then they woke up, and they didn't even have time to close the smiles on their faces.

Madam Hou covered her face and started crying: "Why is our Yuanyuan so sensible? She didn't even want to make us sad when she said goodbye to us..."

The more sensible Yuanyuan became, the more uncomfortable she felt.

She felt so angry in her heart: "Why did you kill my good daughter? She was so young. I would rather exchange my heart for Yuanyuan's heart for them!"

Marquis Pingyang hugged his wife, and he also felt a tremendous hatred in his heart.

He showed determination: "Don't talk nonsense, this is not your fault. We will find out who is behind this and avenge Yuanyuan!"

"You have to be strong. You must not fall down before you avenge Yuanyuan!"

The Marquis’ wife wiped her tears and said, “You are right. If we fall down like this, that will be what those people want!”

The Marquis's wife also has two sons, both of whom are now married.

Both sons are very sensible. They are not geniuses, but they are down-to-earth, hardworking and motivated.

He passed the imperial examinations twice a few years ago and now works as a civil servant in the court. Although he is still a minor official, he is highly appreciated by the emperor.

As long as you don't make mistakes or do anything out of the ordinary, it should only be a matter of time before you are promoted to an important official in the future.

The Marquis of Pingyang and his wife called their two sons together and told them the whole story of Gao Yueyuan from beginning to end.

Of course the two sons didn’t believe it at first. They even thought that their parents were hallucinating and being deceived because they missed their younger sister too much.

The Pingyang Marquis and his wife did not say much, but just asked their two sons to sleep on the floor in this room at night.

The next night, Pingyang Hou’s couple and their two sons, that is, the entire Pingyang Hou family, had the same dream.

In the dream, their whole family went to watch the Lantern Festival. The two brothers helped Yuanyuan guess all the riddles at Linglong Cloth Shop and won the colorful cloth.

Yuanyuan and her two brothers gave the colorful cloth to their mother.

The family of five is having a great time and laughing happily.

Finally, Yuanyuan said it was time for her to leave, and then the whole family woke up together.

This time the two sons also believed it. They had grown up loving their sister.

Now that he knew his sister was murdered, he was naturally furious.

They even wanted to rush over to find Princess Anle and ask her who instructed her to do this.
