Gu Yunjin didn't want to take it, but when she saw the jailer's suggestive look, she seemed to realize something and immediately rushed over, took the steamed bun in her hand, and broke it open.
However, there was no note inside as Gu Yunjin had imagined.
She looked up abruptly, rushed to the fence, and whispered:
"Whose side are you on?"
She took a bracelet off her wrist, put it in the jailer's hand, and then continued.
"I am the daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an. If you help me, I will reward you handsomely."
The jailer seemed to have been waiting for these words, and upon hearing them, he slowly nodded.
“I am sent by your father. Please feel free to give me any instructions, young lady.”
Gu Yunjin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and whispered:
"Let my father go find the Third Prince; only he can save me now!"
This is also the simplest way to save her.
After all, given the Third Prince's personality, he would certainly not be at peace upon learning that his beloved "little dog" had been locked up.
Even if he makes a scene, he will still release the person.
Even Shen Hechuan couldn't explain it to him.
After all, no one can argue with a fool.
As expected, things turned out exactly as Gu Yunjin had predicted.
The next day, she heard a commotion outside the cell.
Soon, someone took her away.
When Gu Yunjin saw the Third Prince's fleshy face again, she didn't find him so hateful anymore.
She stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the Third Prince, and expressed her gratitude.
When the Third Prince saw Gu Yunjin, he smiled and immediately went forward to hug her.
Gu Yunjin subconsciously took a step back, but fearing he would be unhappy, she reached out and took his hand, which prevented him from getting angry.
As Gu Yunjin looked at the prison cell door, she had already made up her mind.
By this time, she understood.
Power is the best weapon to protect a person.
She has now essentially lost the protection of the Marquis of Yong'an's mansion.
If she wants to protect herself, to rise higher, to trample Gu Jingchun underfoot, and to see her kneeling before her begging for mercy, then the title of Third Prince's Consort is quite fitting.
So what if the Third Prince is an idiot?
Once she becomes the Third Prince's wife and has enough power and status, who can do anything to her?
Thinking of this, Gu Yunjin began to coax the Third Prince.
Although the Third Prince was foolish, he was obedient to her because of the puppy pendant she had given him.
She was as well-behaved as a child.
Gu Yunjin was very pleased with this.
After she had appeased the Third Prince, he personally "escorted" her back to the Yong'an Marquis's residence.
Seeing Gu Yunjin return safely, Chu Qianlan hugged her in her arms, crying and laughing at the same time, and breathed a huge sigh of relief.
However, when she saw the Third Prince behind her, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
The daughter she had so carefully raised and nurtured was ultimately destined to be ruined.
Gu Yunjin didn't seem to think much of it.
Now that she has chosen this path, she will gladly see it through to the end.
At the same time, news that Gu Yunjin had been personally escorted back by the Third Prince reached Gu Jingchun's ears.
She was eating an orange that her son had peeled for her, and nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.
"Not bad, he's not an idiot."
"Seeking help from the Third Prince is indeed a good option."
However, this was exactly what she wanted to do.
Gu Jingchun smiled very happily.
"Gu Yunjin, congratulations, you have finally taken the first step into hardship."
Just you wait, soon I will make you experience all the suffering you endured in your past life.
"Take it slow, this is just the beginning."
From that day on, the mansion became noticeably quieter.
Gu Jingchun hadn't been idle during this time either. She had integrated all the shops in Tiandu and secretly started to deal with some of them.
She didn't deal with all the shops because doing so would be too big a move and would easily arouse suspicion from others.
Moreover, she didn't want to give up the opportunity to make money in Tiandu.
After all, not many people knew that she was the real owner of Tianjing Trading Company.
After she leaves, Tiandu's business can be managed by someone trustworthy.
In order to fake her death and leave, she specially dug a secret passage in one of the shops.
Gu Jingchun even went to see it in person. Once it was finished, she could set a big fire and leave in the chaos.
By then, with the emperor far away, no one will be able to find her.
Thinking about this, Gu Jingchun also felt a little regretful.
She had originally planned to use the power of the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion and the Luo Mansion to pave the way for Gu Jinxi.
However, Gu Jingchun was not discouraged by this.
She has always been an optimistic person, and her usual principle is to take things one step at a time and believe that things will work themselves out.
There must be a place for the mother and child in such a big place as Darong.
Two more days passed quickly.
The next day, Gu Jingchun got up early and took Gu Jinxi in a carriage to the outskirts of the city.
Today, Luo Ziqian invited her to go outside the city to see the peach blossoms.
Luo Ziqian had invited her several times for this reason, but she didn't want to come today.
But considering that Gu Jinxi had been clamoring to go out and play, he finally agreed.
Moreover, she had something she wanted to say to Luo Ziqian.
After all, it was she who dragged Luo Ziqian into this.
Now that she wants to leave, she should think more about him so as not to affect him.
Inside the carriage, Gu Jinxi gazed longingly at the scenery outside through the window, her eyes filled with joy.
God knows how much he wanted to go out and have some fun.
Since he came to Tiandu with his mother, he has never gone out to play again.
He still prefers the days he spent in the mountains.
There are countless tall trees, vast fields, flowers, streams, and all sorts of animals.
Back then, he could do whatever he wanted. Sometimes, on a whim, he would catch fish with his bare hands or even "pull up" big trees to play with.
But now, he can only stay in his room, sleeping, reading, and practicing calligraphy.
Some time ago, he was quite interested in practicing calligraphy.
But as his handwriting improved, he felt there was no challenge left and lost interest.
I heard that his mother is going to find him a tutor next.
Although he enjoyed reading, reading all day long was quite tedious and boring.
Therefore, Gu Jinxi had always wanted to go out and have some fun. Today, he was very happy to learn that his mother had taken him to see the peach blossoms outside the city.
Moreover, he will be able to meet his future father today.
This made him even more hopeful.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinxi couldn't help but touch her little purse.
Here is also a gift he specially prepared for his future father-in-law, hoping he will like it.
Gu Jinxi thought to herself.
The carriage soon came to a stop.
Gu Jingchun was the first to get off the carriage.
Gu Jinxi then stepped out of the carriage with her short legs.
As soon as he came out, he saw a handsome man dressed in indigo blue clothes looking at him with curiosity.
