She looked at her new painting with satisfaction, finally put down her brush, and looked at Gu Nansheng.
"You say I kidnapped Gu Yunjin, but do you have any evidence?"
"What evidence do we need? It's obvious you did it."
Gu Nansheng's tone was firm; she was utterly enraged.
"Gu Jingchun, stop pretending. Don't think I don't know what's going on."
"According to Bai Lu, who was by Yun Jin's side, the place where Yun Jin's carriage was stopped was exactly the same as the place where you were assassinated before. Also, the number of men in black and their clothes were exactly the same."
What is this if not your revenge?
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun's expression turned cold.
She looked at Gu Nansheng, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
Deep down, she always reserved a sliver of hope for Gu Nansheng.
After all, in her previous life, Gu Nansheng had helped her once when she was at her most desperate.
Therefore, she always held her brother in a kind heart.
Unfortunately, he repeatedly pushed himself to the brink of despair.
Gu Jingchun looked at Gu Nansheng and spoke coldly:
"So, you already know that Gu Yunjin bribed someone to kill me?"
Gu Nansheng paused upon hearing this, glanced away somewhat guiltily, and then said, "So what if I know?"
"Aren't you standing right here perfectly fine, with nothing wrong with you?!"
"Why do you keep pressing Yun Jin?"
"She used to be such a good girl, but because you came back, you've forced her to this point step by step."
"If it weren't for you, how could she, who is always kind, have done such a thing?"
"Don't worry, when she gets back, I'll give her a good scolding and make her apologize to you in person."
"The most urgent thing now is to tell me where you took Yun Jin?"
"Oh……"
Gu Jingchun chuckled softly.
No comment.
Upon hearing these words, Gu Jingchun felt his heart grow colder and colder.
The kindness he had shown towards Gu Nansheng because of the fragile family ties from his previous life had completely vanished.
"If you want to find someone, you can go to the Jingzhao Prefecture. You are not welcome here."
"Xiaoman, see the guests out."
Gu Jingchun coldly told them to leave.
Xiao Man, who had long disliked Gu Nansheng, immediately stepped forward upon hearing this, pushed Gu Nansheng, and forcibly "invited" him out.
Poor Gu Nansheng was like a chick, unable to budge Xiaoman in the slightest, and could only be locked outside.
But he was still unwilling to give up, so he kept banging on the door.
Once he was sure Gu Jingchun wouldn't speak, he immediately changed his tune.
"Gu Jingchun, you are truly vicious and a beast in human form."
"You haven't been hurt at all, yet you're still so relentless towards Yun Jin!"
"You wait, if anything happens to Yun Jin, I will definitely not let you off the hook."
After saying that, he still felt unsatisfied and added another sentence.
"It's all because of you!"
If you hadn't come back, none of this would have happened.
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun, who had picked up the brush again, paused, and a drop of ink fell onto the paper, instantly spreading out.
Lan Xin was immediately worried when she saw Gu Jingchun's actions.
"Miss……"
"Don't listen to his nonsense."
"It's nothing."
Gu Jingchun said, "I came back to make them pay the price. This level of damage can't hurt me in the slightest."
Meanwhile, in the woods outside the city...
Gu Yunjin hugged her arms and looked around in horror.
She huddled under a tree, shivering from the cold.
But the sound of wolves howling could be heard from not far away.
This made Gu Yunjin even more frightened.
Several hours have passed since I was thrown here.
She was exhausted and hungry, and had sprained her ankle. It took her a lot of effort to climb here, and now she was so scared that she covered her ears.
"Brother, Father, Mother, please come and save me!"
Gu Yunjin murmured, tears already streaming down her face.
However, it was completely quiet around her; apart from the chirping of insects and howling of wolves, she could not hear any other sounds.
As time passed, Gu Yunjin gradually stopped crying.
After realizing that no one would come to pick her up and that waiting there would only mean certain death, she looked around, found a thick enough stick, and then stood up.
She has to go back!
She can't die here like this; she has to go back!
She hadn't seen Gu Jingchun make a fool of himself yet, nor had she found the culprit who brought her here. She absolutely couldn't die like this, without knowing the truth.
She absolutely cannot be defeated like this.
She has to find a way to save herself.
Thinking of this, Gu Yunjin slowly stood up, enduring the pain in her ankle, and walked forward step by step.
According to her deduction, this place should be outside the city.
Once she gets out of the woods, she'll find her way, and maybe then she'll find a passing carriage.
That way, I could be saved.
Gu Yunjin didn't know how long she had been walking. Her feet were gradually losing feeling, and her vision was gradually blurring. Finally, she could see the road in the distance.
At the end of that road, a carriage slowly drove up.
Overjoyed, she rushed over.
The carriage slowly came to a stop in front of her, and the curtain was lifted to reveal a familiar face.
Even in the darkness of night, the man's face could be seen inside the carriage.
Gu Yunjin was all too familiar with that face, so familiar that she could recognize him even in the dark.
This is the person she has kept in her heart for many years.
From the time she could remember, her mother told her that she would marry Shen Hechuan in the future.
From that time on, she remembered Shen Hechuan's name. Later, as she grew older, she finally met him.
His handsome appearance and delicate features sparked a girlish longing in her heart.
She fantasized about the scene of her marrying Shen Hechuan in the future.
They may have been a loving and respectful couple.
Even if he doesn't love her, she can still help arrange for him to take a concubine and fulfill her duties as the Crown Princess.
But she never imagined that one day she would not marry Shen Hechuan.
Therefore, she was devastated when she learned that she was to marry the third prince.
Therefore, she had to persuade her mother to bring Gu Jingchun back.
Unfortunately, despite all this, she still lost all chances of marrying Shen Hechuan.
And now, at her most vulnerable moment, Shen Hechuan appeared before her like a god descending from the heavens.
At that moment, she was happy and joyful.
She even felt that this was a gift from God, which was why he came to rescue her when she needed him most.
So, the moment she saw Shen Hechuan, her eyes immediately filled with tears, and she sobbed softly, "Crown Prince, you've finally come. Did you come to save me?"
She said she would take a few steps forward so she could see Shen Hechuan more clearly.
