You'll understand after Chapter 270.
What did he mean by that? What does he know while he's alive?
This idea lingered in their minds for a long time.
Gu Yingjie didn't know how he got back to the Marquis's residence. That night, he locked himself in his study, repeatedly pondering Yun Yichen's words from earlier that day.
Gu Shuyan put her things down and began to interrogate Yun Yichen.
Whether or not to join the cabinet is a decision the eldest brother should make, but what exactly did that sentence mean?
Who exactly are you?
Gu Shuyan abandoned her usual gentle demeanor and stared intently at Yun Yichen.
To everyone's surprise, Yun Yichen placed his hand on her hair and said with a wicked smile, "Naturally, he will be your future husband."
"Don't give me that nonsense. What exactly did you mean by what you just said? What do you mean by 'can't get out of it'?"
Gu Shuyan pried his hands away, her eyes full of questions.
But Yun Yichen simply shook his head: "Shu'er, you'll understand these things in the future."
Yun Yichen refused to say anything, and Gu Shuyan naturally couldn't ask Gu Jin either, so she could only return to the North Courtyard in a sullen mood.
She thought that because of her past life experiences, she would know many things that others didn't, but in the end, she knew nothing at all.
Thinking back to how I was thoroughly exploited in my past life and ended up knowing nothing about it, I truly felt I died a worthy death.
"Have someone keep an eye on the eldest brother's side, and report back immediately if there's any movement."
No matter how much Gu Shuyan thought about it, she couldn't figure it out, so she could only turn her attention to Gu Renjie.
Since those words were spoken to her older brother, he must know more than she does. As long as she keeps an eye on him, she will eventually find out the truth.
Pearl received the instructions and went out immediately.
Yun Yichen sat in his study, staring at the withered tree outside, and remained silent for a long time.
"Master, the young lady seems to be angry."
Zhong Lin now understands Gu Shuyan quite well. She even took her things with her when she left, which clearly shows she was angry with her master.
But his master was just sitting there daydreaming, which made Zhong Lin extremely anxious.
"Make arrangements. Have someone mention to the Fifth Prince that Gu Renjie should be placed in the cabinet."
Yun Yichen didn't reply to Zhong Lin at all, and just continued to make his own arrangements.
"master."
Zhong Lin glanced at Yun Yichen, but seeing Yun Yichen's cold gaze sweep over him, he didn't say anything more.
In the dead of night, Gu Shuyan was lying in bed, half asleep, when she suddenly heard a creak and a gust of cold wind blew in from outside.
"Mingyu, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Gu Shuyan thought Mingyu had come in to check on her because she was worried, but all she heard in response was the sound of the door closing.
Gu Shuyan sensed something was wrong and immediately grabbed the dagger that had been placed on the bedside table earlier. However, before she could draw it out, she was pulled into a warm embrace.
Upon smelling the familiar scent emanating from the newcomer, Gu Shuyan's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief, followed by a struggle to break free from the other person.
The more she struggled, the tighter the man held her, until Gu Shuyan had no strength left, at which point he loosened his grip slightly.
Seeing this, Gu Shuyan felt a surge of frustration and, without thinking, bit the man's shoulder.
The newcomer was caught off guard by Gu Shuyan's sudden bite and gasped in pain, but showed no intention of letting go of her.
"Let me go."
Gu Shuyan's expression was cold. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, she continued, "If you don't let go, I'll call for help."
