Chapter 530 Thank you so much
Even though she's his own granddaughter, couldn't he have done more research and investigated her background before letting Meng Wei come?
If it weren't for his own Wei taking a look and doing some tampering, Meng Wei would have been tricked into a living hell by her own grandmother.
"Grandma was just a little bit greedy."
Although the Zhang family members don't hold high-ranking official positions, they have a lot of money. These days, the two families have been exchanging visits, and she has received quite a few good things from her grandmother alone.
Gu Renjie would have been better off not listening to these words; after hearing them, he became even angrier. What did they mean by "a little bit of love for money"? This was only a little bit.
"You shouldn't listen to your grandmother anymore. You're only seventeen or eighteen, what's the rush?"
As Gu Renjie spoke, he was completely unaware that he was still holding the girl's hand. Meng Wei, being a young woman, could only lower her head and blush.
Seeing that Meng Wei did not answer, Gu Renjie turned around to say a few more words to her, only then did he realize that he was holding someone else's hand.
Suddenly, Gu Renjie's face also felt hot, and he quickly let go of the other person's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I was just in a hurry."
"It's okay, I know."
Meng Wei knew that there was a gap between her and Gu Renjie, and she was already content with the fact that he was so considerate of her.
"I'm starving after all this commotion, let's go back first." Gu Renjie said in court, not knowing how to ease the tension, so he simply got into the carriage himself.
Meng Wei followed suit and got into the carriage, but unlike when they arrived, both of their cheeks were flushed with an unnatural redness.
The carriage turned around and drove off, but was stopped as soon as it stepped onto the pipe.
"Who is in the carriage?" Yun Yichen asked, stopping the carriage by the roadside.
Gu Renjie was feeling a bit hot, but upon hearing the familiar voice, he immediately lifted the carriage curtain.
Upon seeing Yun Yichen, Gu Renjie noticed that Yun Yichen was holding a woman in his arms. Before he could ask, Yun Yichen had already seen him and quickly walked over.
"Renjie, quickly get Shushu into the car."
"Shu'er?" Gu Renjie was confused. Shouldn't Shu'er have been at home yesterday after falling ill? Why was she being held here by Yun Yichen?
Before he could react, Gu Renjie had already helped Gu Shuyan into the car. Seeing Gu Shuyan's pale face, Gu Renjie's questioning eyes were already fixed on Yun Yichen.
"Let's talk as we go, and let the carriage return to the city first."
Yun Yichen naturally knew what Gu Renjie wanted to ask, and told the carriage to continue on its way. Only then did Yun Yichen recount what had happened earlier to Gu Renjie.
Of course, Yun Yichen ignored the fact that the Third Prince had kidnapped Gu Shuyan, only saying that the thug was out of sorts when they caught up with him, which is why they were able to catch up with Gu Shuyan.
While others might believe this, Gu Renjie and Meng Wei naturally didn't. However, Gu Renjie didn't press Yun Yichen for the specific reason at this moment. He simply looked at Gu Shuyan's pale face with heartache.
This girl had suffered since birth. Because of this, Gu Renjie paid more attention to her, to the point that at one point he almost thought he had romantic feelings for her.
Looking back at Meng Wei, Gu Renjie felt a sudden warmth in his heart. Although he didn't know why he felt this way, he liked the way things were.
The carriage entered the city and went directly to the Marquis's residence. In order not to attract attention, Gu Shuyan got off the carriage at the back gate and was then carried back to the North Courtyard by Gu Renjie.
The moment they saw Gu Shuyan return safely, the Gu family almost burst into tears.
No one knew that when they saw that Gu Shuyan was not there, they were almost scared out of their wits.
Fortunately, Yun Yichen had given prior instructions, so everyone kept quiet and waited for news from his side.
After placing Gu Shuyan back on her bed and having several maids watch over her, the group went to the main hall in the front courtyard.
"Yichen, thanks to your timely discovery, we were able to find Shuer this time."
Madam Gu was the first to step forward and hold Yun Yichen's hand. She had experienced similar things countless times. If something really happened to Gu Shuyan this time, she was afraid she would really have to go with her.
"Grandmother, this is all I should do," Yun Yichen said, helping the old lady sit down.
"That being said, this time, our whole family really has to thank you properly."
Gu Jin felt somewhat ashamed. He had treated the other person that way yesterday, which was really inappropriate.
“Yes, yes, I’ll have the kitchen prepare a few more dishes later. You must stay for a meal,” Madam Ji quickly echoed.
Seeing the family's enthusiastic atmosphere, Yun Yichen was somewhat amused and exasperated. Shouldn't the most important thing right now be how to deal with the Third Prince?
"Now that she's back, shouldn't we tell you who kidnapped Shuer?"
The Marquis of Yi'an's residence has many guards, and Gu Shuyan also has Yun Yichen's secret guards by her side. The fact that the other party was able to take Gu Shuyan away under the protection of so many people shows that the person is not simple.
Seeing that Gu Renjie had finally gotten to the point, Yun Yichen quickly asked everyone to sit down before explaining the whole story in detail.
When Gu Jin learned that it was the Third Prince who had kidnapped Gu Shuyan, he was so angry that he wanted to go to the Emperor for an explanation on the spot. If it weren't for Yun Yichen and Gu Renjie stopping him, Gu Jin might have actually done it.
“Now that Lu Youming knows too many things he shouldn’t know, we can’t let him have the opportunity to enter the court. However, since his identity is special, we can’t just kill him. So I came up with another way.”
"What method?" everyone asked in unison, but Yun Yichen kept it a secret.
"Everyone will know the method after tomorrow's morning court session." Yun Yichen said, looking at Gu Jin: "Father-in-law, today at Lu Youming's villa, Shushu seemed to have been stimulated again. Judging from the fact that Shushu fainted on the spot, I dare to guess that Shushu's knot in her heart is probably related to Lu Youming."
It was precisely because of this speculation that Yun Yichen made up his mind to keep Lu Youming.
If Gu Shuyan's mental illness is truly related to Lu Youming, then if Gu Shuyan wants to resolve her inner conflict, it seems that Lu Youming will be the only one who can help her.
"You mean Shu'er...? But she rarely interacts with the Third Prince, how could she be related to him?"
Gu Jin couldn't understand it, and neither could anyone in the Gu family.
"I don't understand it either, but that's how Shushu was at the time. If I hadn't brought the first-aid kit with me, I'm afraid Shushu would have already..."
Yun Yichen didn't finish speaking, but everyone present understood. Thinking about how dangerous Gu Shuyan's situation was, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
"You've worked hard." Gu Jin patted Yun Yichen's shoulder. Although he wasn't there at the time, he knew just how difficult the situation must have been for Yun Yichen.
"Father-in-law, I have another request. Please do not tell Shushu about what happened today."
