Chapter 445 The Sun Family's Purpose
Gu Shuyan kept the matter a secret. Yun Yichen, naturally, couldn't let his two elders worry, so he nodded and agreed, "I happened to have some business outside the city today, and I didn't expect to run into Shushu and Miss Sun. When I saw that Shushu had sprained her ankle, I took her back first."
Yun Yichen has always been very protective of Gu Shuyan. Whenever he has something good, he rushes to send it to the Gu residence. If Gu Shuyan is even slightly sick, Yun Yichen is extremely worried and sometimes even comes to the Gu residence to take care of her personally.
Therefore, after he said those words, the old lady and Madam Ji felt much more at ease.
"You're such a careless child. You're such a grown-up, and you still manage to sprain your ankle just by going out for a trip. You're such a worry."
While scolding her in a low voice, Madam Ji hurriedly asked Wu Mama to prepare medicine to reduce swelling and relieve pain, and also asked her to boil a few eggs.
Gu Shuyan watched as the group of people busied themselves in an instant and tried to stop Ji Shi, but Yun Yichen stopped her first.
Regardless of the circumstances, Madam Ji is Gu Shuyan's biological mother, so it's perfectly normal for her to be busy taking care of her when she's injured.
"My daughter will definitely walk carefully next time."
The words Gu Shuyan wanted to say to stop her ultimately turned into this sentence.
Seeing her obediently admitting her mistake, Madam Ji couldn't help but poke her head: "You! You always say that, but you always end up hurting yourself."
Madam Ji couldn't bear to see Gu Shuyan covered in wounds, but since she was already in this state, Madam Ji couldn't bear to really blame her anymore.
"Alright, it's good that the child is alright. Let's focus on reducing the swelling and pain for Yan'er first, so that it doesn't get worse and she can't get out of bed, that would be a real problem."
Seeing that she had finished her lecture, the old lady quickly interrupted Ji Shi.
In this family, everyone dotes on Gu Shuyan to the extreme, and Gu Shuyan can't stop smiling when she sees this.
With such loving and caring family members, what regrets could I possibly have in this life?
Seeing this, Yun Yichen clasped his hands in a fist salute to everyone before taking his leave, saying, "Shushu is being taken care of by her mother-in-law and grandmother, so I will be heading back now."
Although the two are now engaged, they are not actually married yet. It was inconvenient for Yun Yichen to stay here while Gu Shuyan sprained her ankle, so the two did not stop her and nodded to the maid to send him out.
Thanks to Yun Yichen's advance treatment, Gu Shuyan's foot injury was not as serious as expected, and by the second day, she was basically able to walk naturally.
As soon as Yun Yichen returned to the Yun residence, he took the two people he had brought back to his study.
Although he had a general idea of what had happened today, it had not yet been confirmed. Looking at the young girl and the famous doctor below, Yun Yichen was stunned, and a chill instantly enveloped both of them.
"Tell me, what exactly do you intend to do to Miss Gu?"
The speaker was not Yun Yichen, but Zhong Lin, who had been standing next to Yun Yichen.
These two were brought back by Zhong Lin in the first place. After they were brought back, Zhong Lin did not let them rest. He had them dragged to the torture chamber set up in the backyard.
Looking at the various torture instruments in the torture chamber, a maid and a doctor naturally confessed to them without even being subjected to much torture.
Jianghu Mingyu was someone who took money to solve problems for others. When Yun Yichen asked her about it, she knelt down and kowtowed without thinking, saying, "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life! This was all done by the Fifth Prince and Miss Sun. I really didn't know that Miss Sun was Lord Yun's fiancée. Please spare my dog's life."
In a critical moment, saving one's life is of the most important thing. With the help of a renowned doctor from the martial arts world, the little maid confessed her crime in no time.
"My lord, today's events were all planned by my young lady and the Fifth Prince. It has nothing to do with me! Because we accidentally learned about the art of disguise, my young lady and the Fifth Prince discussed the idea of secretly eliminating Miss Gu and then replacing her with her through the art of disguise, in order to control the Gu family and the Prime Minister."
The young maidservant hurriedly kowtowed to Yun Yichen while trying to distance herself from the situation.
"So, who does your young lady intend to have replace Miss Gu when she enters the Marquis of Yi'an's residence?"
Gu Shuyan is intelligent and not someone that can be easily replaced. Therefore, the person chosen must be someone who reacts very quickly and can do so without anyone noticing anything amiss.
Such people are hard to find, so Yun Yichen was quite curious about the person the other party had chosen.
With a hole torn in her chest, the maidservant had nothing left to hide, so she replied, "My mistress did not choose such a person. Instead, she decided to personally replace Miss Gu and enter the Marquis of Yi'an's residence."
The young maid trembled slightly as she spoke, knowing that once these words were spoken, she would never be able to return to the Sun family. If Yun Yichen released her today, she would have no choice but to flee the capital for the rest of her life, ensuring that no one from the Sun family would ever see her again.
As soon as the maid spoke, Yun Yichen's lips curled slightly, and he nodded noncommittally.
Just as Shushu said, Sun Ruoyun is indeed very smart.
She knew that if she were to choose or train someone to replace Gu Shuyan in the Gu family, she would need an extremely intelligent person. But if this person was too intelligent, they would easily develop ulterior motives and, if they were to gain control, the Sun family would become the next Gu Shuyan.
Having just eliminated one major health hazard, they've been replaced by another uncertain time bomb. It would be better for them to personally enter the Gu family and play that role themselves.
"Your young lady is quite cunning, but unfortunately, she's outsmarted the wrong person."
The thought that Sun Ruoyun actually wanted to get rid of Gu Shuyan and take her place made him exert a little force, and he crushed a corner of the table to pieces.
The young maid was terrified by the sight, and her whole body began to tremble involuntarily.
I only knew that the Ghost-Faced Yama was a terrifying being, but I never imagined that his martial arts were so unfathomable.
The young maid once saw her young master split a large rock in two, and at that time she thought that her young master's martial arts skills were already rare in the world. But she never expected that Yun Yichen could crush the corner of a table to pieces with just a clench of his fist.
"My lord, my lord, this was all my young lady's idea. Please spare my life."
The maidservant began to kowtow to Yun Yichen, her posture suggesting that she would kowtow herself to death if Yun Yichen did not agree.
