Chapter 223 Going on a Long Trip
Without me by her side, no one in the manor can control Shu'er, and she can go to the Yun manor whenever she wants.
I had always heard that Yun Yichen was cold and ruthless and never showed favoritism in public affairs. At that time, I admired him very much. Now it seems that he would show favoritism in public affairs, but he just didn't want to.
"Go and fetch the young lady."
As soon as Gu Renjie returned to his study, he threw the imperial edict on the ground and turned to sit down in a chair.
Seeing his young master treat the imperial edict so carelessly, the personal servant quickly bent down and picked it up. "Oh my young master! This is an imperial edict! How could you throw it away like that?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Renjie glanced at the imperial edict, having never given it a second thought.
Gu Shuyan was delighted to hear that Gu Renjie was going to accompany the Crown Prince to Ganzhou when Gu Renjie's guards arrived.
Upon learning that Gu Renjie wanted to see her, Gu Shuyan didn't even bother to tell Pearl and Mingyu before eagerly following the guards to Gu Renjie's courtyard.
"Brother, I heard you've become the deputy inspector?"
Gu Shuyan ran in with a happy face, and as soon as she saw Gu Renjie, she hugged his arm.
You should know that for someone like Gu Renjie who had just entered officialdom, it would usually take several years to get the chance to perform a mission like this, which involves going to local areas.
Gu Renjie was immediately promoted to deputy inspector. Once he arrived in Ganzhou, he was someone who could do whatever he wanted, except for the crown prince.
"Is Shu'er very happy?"
"Of course I'm happy. My brother has been given an important position so soon after entering officialdom. This is enough to prove that my brother is exceptionally outstanding. How could he not be happy?"
Gu Shuyan looked at Gu Renjie with a smile. Gu Renjie felt a pang of sadness at her words. It seemed that this girl probably didn't know why she had been appointed.
"Shu'er!" Gu Renjie wanted to ask her if she liked Yun Yichen, but the words circled around his lips several times before he finally couldn't bring himself to ask.
"If Shuer is happy, then brother is happy."
Suppressing the sadness in his eyes, Gu Renjie forced a smile and gently patted her head.
"This time is short, and brother has to leave tomorrow. While he's away, Shuer, please don't run around, okay?"
Gu Renjie didn't actually want Gu Shuyan to go to Yun Yichen's residence, but he knew that even if he said something, Gu Shuyan wouldn't listen to him, so why should he needlessly annoy her?
"Don't worry, brother. Father and I will take care of everything at home!"
Gu Shuyan clearly misinterpreted Gu Renjie's words, and Gu Renjie did not offer any further explanation.
After giving Gu Shuyan a few more instructions, Gu Renjie went to pack his luggage.
The next day, the Crown Prince left the Crown Prince's residence reluctantly.
On his way to meet up with his officials outside the city gate, he was unexpectedly stopped.
"Who are you? Do you know who's in this carriage?"
The guards from the Crown Prince's residence blocked her way, and seeing the woman dressed in tattered clothes, they pushed her to the ground.
However, the woman did not seem to hear what he said. She just looked behind her in panic, as if some poisonous snake or ferocious beast would soon appear there, and kept running towards them.
"Hey, are you deaf? I told you to get out of here."
As the guard spoke, he reached out to grab the woman's clothes, but the woman grabbed his clothes and pleaded, "Sir, please save me! Please save me! If they catch up with us, I'll be beaten to death."
The woman's face was dirty, making it impossible to see her original appearance.
