At that moment, Shen Hechuan gently waved his hand.
Instantly, the carriage took a step back.
Gu Yunjin paused, staring blankly at Shen Hechuan.
"Brother Crown Prince..."
She murmured to herself, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
However, Shen Hechuan coldly ordered, "The prospective Third Prince's consort is out late at night, which may be detrimental to the royal family's reputation. You must not approach her."
Upon hearing this, the guards took another step back.
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Yunjin again.
"It is getting dark, so please return to the residence early to avoid damaging your reputation."
As for your spending the night outside, I will report this truthfully to His Majesty. I hope the future Third Prince's Consort will behave herself.
After saying that, Shen Hechuan coldly closed the carriage curtain, and the carriage slowly drove away.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunjin was completely stunned, her face filled with disbelief.
He just left like that?
He disregarded her safety and simply abandoned her there in the middle of the night!
As she watched Shen Hechuan's departing carriage and recalled his cold words, a chill ran through her, and she completely broke down.
After the carriage left, Gu Yunjin and Tu Ting walked along blankly, like zombies.
She didn't know how long she had been walking; she was just staring in the direction the carriage had left.
In a dilapidated temple not far away, several beggars spotted Gu Yunjin and immediately became interested.
They walked over slowly.
"Miss, are you alone?"
"It's getting so late, why don't you come and rest for a while?"
Looking at the evil-looking beggars, Gu Yunjin understood everything and was so frightened that she immediately regained her senses.
She was nervous inside, but her face remained calm.
She smiled.
"Great, you guys are so kind..."
As Gu Yunjin spoke, she took a step toward the beggar, saying as she went:
"You guys are so kind. I wanted to rest in another dilapidated temple, but they thought I was sick and wouldn't let me in."
Upon hearing this, the beggars were greatly surprised.
He quickly asked, "What...what illness do you have...?"
Gu Yunjin smiled again upon hearing this, but her smile now held a hint of foolishness.
"Vegetative state disease!"
As she spoke, she lifted her skirt, revealing her blood-stained calves.
Her calves were scratched by thorns as she descended the mountain, and now they are covered with various bloody marks, which look quite terrifying in the night.
Even if these beggars were simple-minded, they knew that venereal disease was not a good thing, as it was contagious.
Looking at the girl's attire, they guessed that she must have been kicked out of a brothel.
Those who contract this disease are doomed to die, and they didn't want to get involved, so they kicked Gu Yunjin out.
Gu Yunjin was somewhat displeased upon seeing this.
What are you doing?!
"It's so cold outside, let me go and rest for a while, I promise I'll make you... feel comfortable in a bit..."
Upon hearing this, the beggars realized they had guessed correctly and became even more resistant to Gu Yunjin, resolutely preventing her from getting close.
Helpless, Gu Yunjin could only sigh and continue walking forward.
Once she could no longer see the beggar, she immediately quickened her pace and eventually started running again.
It wasn't until she hid in a small corner that she belatedly realized she was trembling.
The next day.
Gu Jingchun slowly woke up from his sleep.
Perhaps because the mansion was in such a chaotic state last night, she slept exceptionally well.
After she finished getting ready, she was about to go out when she heard the voices of two servants talking outside.
"Did you hear that? The Second Miss has been found."
"We've finally found it. I heard it was discovered by the people outside the city this morning."
When she was found, the second young lady was disheveled and in a very sorry state; it was unclear what she had been through.
"Well, that goes without saying. It's really hard to say what a woman might experience after spending the night outside!"
"The Second Miss's reputation is completely ruined this time."
"Didn't you see how loud the lady was crying this morning?"
"The second young master was so angry that he cursed loudly outside. He cut down most of the flowers in the second young lady's courtyard, which shows how furious he was."
The two servants lowered their voices as they spoke.
Lan Xin let out a soft snort upon hearing this.
"She's lucky to have survived."
After their people took Gu Yunjin outside the city yesterday, they returned without sending anyone to keep an eye on her.
It was completely left to fend for itself.
Gu Jingchun also understood Gu Yunjin quite well.
Such a cunning woman would not have died so easily.
Moreover, she didn't want to die like this.
Things are only interesting if she's alive.
Just as Gu Jingchun was about to leave, someone called out to him.
"Miss, the master and madam want you to come over."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun smiled slightly and then moved on.
We arrived at the main hall.
As soon as Gu Jingchun entered, he saw Gu Wei'ang and Chu Qianlan sitting there with serious expressions.
When Gu Wei'ang saw Gu Jingchun enter, he immediately shouted angrily.
"Kneel down!"
Gu Jingchun didn't move.
"I don't know why my father made me kneel down!"
"Your father told you to kneel, and you still dare to refuse?" Chu Qianlan said.
Gu Jingchun said, "If Father asks me to kneel, I will naturally kneel. But if Father asks me to kneel on some fabricated charge, then I will not kneel!"
Chu Qianlan sneered upon hearing this.
