"It's been a whole day and night, why hasn't Yun Jin returned yet?"
Why can't you go and take a look?
"Could it be that girl Jingchun who's behind this? Otherwise, why would His Highness the Crown Prince bother with this matter?"
Chu Qianlan shouted hoarsely, her voice filled with anger.
"Don't you know what's going on with Jing Chun?"
Gu Wei'ang was completely exasperated by Chu Qianlan's shouting.
He has tried every possible method, but he has not yet seen the Crown Prince, let alone Gu Yunjin.
That prison was heavily guarded.
No matter how much money he spent, he couldn't get in.
Hearing Chu Qianlan's words, he became extremely irritated and raised his voice.
"What ability does she have to get His Highness the Crown Prince to back her up?"
Instead of causing trouble here, you should worry about Jingchun.
She was summoned to the palace by the Empress Dowager without any reason and didn't even know why.
"That girl has a lot of ideas; she must have offended the Empress Dowager for some reason."
Chu Qianlan felt hatred whenever she thought of the scene of Gu Jingchun choking her.
She wished the Empress Dowager would punish her severely, so she didn't care whether the Empress Dowager lived or died.
She was now only worried about Gu Yunjin's safety and blamed Gu Jingchun for Gu Yunjin's arrest.
So when he saw Gu Jingchun come in, he immediately scolded her angrily: "You dare to come back?"
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly.
"What are you saying, Mother? This is my home. Why don't I dare to come back?"
As Chu Qianlan spoke, she took two steps closer to Gu Jingchun.
"You got your sister arrested, and you still have the audacity to claim it's your family! What kind of family do you have?"
"Go to the Crown Prince now and tell him that what happened that day was a misunderstanding. Ask His Highness to send out the Yun Jin, and I will acknowledge that you are a member of the Yong'an Marquis's household."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Do I care?
Do I need your approval?
"You really think your Yong'an Marquis's mansion is some kind of wonderful place?"
As she spoke, her gaze swept over Gu Wei'ang once more.
"Since things have come to this point, I might as well make things clear."
"I have a bad temper and I hold grudges. As long as you don't mess with me, we can live in peace."
"However, if you insist on provoking me, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Gu Jingchun's eyes held a silent threat and a sense of oppression, causing Chu Qianlan to subconsciously take a step back.
"Otherwise, Gu Yunjin is an example."
Gu Jingchun added another sentence as he spoke.
Seeing that Chu Qianlan's face was pale, she smiled and left with satisfaction.
Gu Wei'ang watched her retreating figure, and although he was angry, he kept a calm face and did not call out to her.
Because at this moment, Gu Jingchun was someone he couldn't quite figure out.
In particular, the Crown Prince taking Gu Yunjin away, while seemingly maintaining the security of Tiandu, was actually supporting Gu Jingchun.
Therefore, he did not act rashly.
Instead, he secretly gave an order to the guards beside him.
"Follow Gu Jingchun secretly. This girl's behavior is too suspicious. Report to me immediately if anything unusual happens."
Chu Qianlan's chest heaved violently with anger upon hearing Gu Jingchun's words.
"This is outrageous! This is outrageous!"
"It's all because of her! Ever since she came back, our household has never been peaceful."
"Sending her away back then was the right thing to do."
"That monk is right, she is an ominous star, born to bring misfortune to our Yong'an Marquis's mansion."
As long as she's around, our household will never have peace.
Chu Qianlan was so angry that she spoke without thinking.
Gu Wei'ang's expression changed, and he covered her mouth with his hand.
What nonsense are you spouting?
His expression was colder than ever before, causing Chu Qianlan to take a step back helplessly.
"If you can't control your mouth, I can lock you up for life."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qianlan was so frightened that she nodded hurriedly.
"I spoke without thinking and misspoke. I will definitely be more careful in the future."
Chu Qianlan took a step back guiltily, "It's getting late, I'll go back now."
With that, the person quickly left.
He looked as if there were raging floods and ferocious beasts behind him.
Late at night, the entire Yong'an Marquis's residence was shrouded in darkness.
Because Gu Jingchun had spent too much time and energy in the palace that day, he fell asleep early with Gu Jinxi in his arms.
The world in her dream was bizarre and fantastical, and Shen Hechuan kept appearing, making her feel as if she had returned to those peaceful and sweet days in the inn.
In Gu Wei'ang's study.
A man dressed in black quietly slipped into his study and stood in front of his desk.
Gu Wei'ang sat quietly behind the desk, writing neatly.
He was a military general who had little literacy and looked down on the idea of scholars cultivating their character through calligraphy.
However, as he spent more and more time in the court,
The number of words I know is increasing, and the number of books I read is also increasing.
Gradually, I also started writing some words in my spare time.
Especially now, when my mind is restless, I need to write something to calm myself down.
The man in black stood quietly in front of him until he put down the brush in his hand, and then slowly spoke.
"The Marquis's residence has been quite lively lately. Your Excellency, please don't forget what your mission is."
He then added a sentence after he finished speaking.
"Your Excellency still needs to keep a close watch on your family and prevent them from getting too close to people they shouldn't associate with."
Gu Weiang nodded.
"She's just a country girl who can't cause any trouble. Isn't your master being a little too wary?"
Gu Wei looked up and stared directly into the man in black's eyes. The intense pressure made him lower his gaze before continuing:
"Your master's matter is not a problem. Soon, he will know my sincerity."
Therefore, I implore your master to take good care of my daughter who is in prison.
The man in black nodded and clasped his hands in greeting.
"You flatter me, my lord. As long as you cooperate, my master will certainly arrange this small matter."

Meanwhile, in the imperial prison.
Gu Yunjin was huddled in the corner, trembling, covering her ears in terror.
Even so, the screams continued to reach her ears, sending shivers down her spine.
From the moment she entered until now, she has watched helplessly as the person locked up opposite her was taken away, cursing and swearing, and carried back covered in blood.
Seeing him so tormented that he couldn't even speak, she felt her legs go weak and could only cower in the corner, trembling.
Even the cockroaches and rats inside couldn't make her scream.
Just as she was trembling, a footstep suddenly sounded in the darkness.
The sound was very faint and not easily noticed unless you listened carefully.
She only slowly looked up when the footsteps stopped in front of her.
A short jailer stood outside the cell, staring at her, and threw a steamed bun inside.
