Chapter 131 Everyone Fainted
However, they had obviously been specially trained. Apart from simple questions, they would not speak if Gu Jingchun asked any more questions.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun stopped asking questions and just strolled back and forth in the yard.
Soon, it was time to eat.
Two maids brought the exquisite meal over. Gu Jingchun picked up the bowl and pretended to be unsteady, so the bowl fell to the ground.
But the maid who was serving the food quickly turned over and grabbed the bowl.
Its movements are so fast that ordinary people cannot do it at all.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun took the bowl and chopsticks and continued eating.
However, he knew in his heart that these two girls must have some skills.
And his skills are not low either.
After dinner, Gu Jingchun lay down for a while and said that he missed his children.
In response, the two maids lowered their heads and said nothing.
Gu Jingchun simply got up, went to the kitchen, and quickly made a few plates of snacks.
She put the snacks on the table.
"My son loves the snacks I make the most. Can you send them to him?"
The two men lowered their heads and said nothing.
Gu Jingchun understood, so he stopped talking and sighed.
"Since I can't deliver it to you, then you can eat it. It tastes good. Try it."
The two still didn't move, and Gu Jingchun snorted coldly.
"I'm just giving it to you because I'm afraid it will go bad and be wasted."
"how?
You look down on me so much that you won't even eat something when I ask you to?"
Gu Jingchun's words were quite serious.
Seeing this, the two maids didn't care about anything else and hurriedly shook their heads to apologize. When they saw that Gu Jingchun's complexion looked a little better, they took the piece and ate it.
They had only taken a bite, but they didn't expect it to taste so good that a hint of surprise appeared in their eyes.
Gu Jingchun still had some confidence in his dim sum making skills, and couldn't help but smile when he saw this.
"How about it?"
“Does it taste good?”
The two maids nodded quickly.
Gu Jingchun quickly pushed the snack forward.
"Since you like it, why don't you eat more? I rarely cook, so you may not have the chance to eat next time you want to!"
The two maids hesitated.
Gu Jingchun sighed.
"Don't worry, it's already come to this, what can a weak woman like me, who can't even tie a chicken, do?
I have accepted my fate. Since the prince likes me, I will just stay here obediently.
After all, now that I've been kidnapped by her, my reputation has been ruined.
Rather than going out and being criticized, it’s better to stay here and live a comfortable life.”
"From now on, the three of us will depend on each other. You all know my background, and I'm not a very arrogant person. You don't need to be restrained. Just treat us as friends."
After Gu Jingchun finished speaking, the two maids nodded quickly, obviously having relaxed their vigilance.
Gu Jingchun took the opportunity to push the other two plates forward.
"We can't finish all these snacks. Why don't you give these two plates to the guards at the door? They've been standing all day and it's very tiring."
The two maids nodded, and without thinking too much, they immediately stood up and took the snacks to the guards outside.
The guards didn't expect Gu Jingchun to be so thoughtful, so they took it and started eating.
When they were halfway through their meal, the two maids suddenly remembered something and asked in surprise.
"How did Miss Gu know that there were people guarding outside?"
After he finished speaking, the two looked at each other and immediately guessed that they had been tricked by Gu Jingchun. They quickly stood up and wanted to report the news.
However, it was too late. The two of them only felt a black screen before their eyes, and then they completely lost consciousness.
A stick of incense later, a small flare rose into the sky in an inconspicuous courtyard in Tiandu City.
The noise was not big, like a small firework, not enough to attract attention.
However, it made some people take action immediately.
Soon, the door of the courtyard where Gu Jingchun was was opened.
Lan Xin rushed in with her men.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Gu Jingchun shook his head and immediately took Lan Xin out.
As soon as I went out, I saw several people lying outside the door.
As for the few people in the dark, they were naturally knocked unconscious by the people brought by Lan Xin.
In terms of skill, Lan Xin and the others may not be a match for the people around Chen Hechuan.
However, when it comes to the endless variety of methods and weapons that are hard to guard against, Gu Jingchun is sure that no one can compare to her.
"Tell me, what happened during this time?"
The two of them sat in the carriage and slowly drove out of the alley. During this time, Lan Xin told them everything that had just happened in detail.
Originally, Gu Jingchun's expression was relatively calm, but when she learned that so many scholars were speaking for Shen Hechuan, her brows instantly frowned.
She knew that Shen Hechuan's original intention was to prove that he was not involved in the matter and to use this to dispel the rumors deliberately spread by Concubine Hui.
But, I'm afraid he himself didn't expect it.
There are too many people.
Such a large number of scholars speaking out for Shen Hechuan will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the current emperor.
After all, Emperor Rongcheng is too suspicious, and coupled with Concubine Hui's instigation, it is likely that Shen Hechuan's situation will be unfavorable.
Gu Jingchun thought so, went over all the pros and cons in his mind, and then made up his mind.
"Lan Xin, come here."
As she spoke, she leaned close to Lan Xin's ear and told her entire plan.
Lan Xin strongly disagreed when she heard this.
"No, miss, it would be bad for your reputation."
Gu Jingchun didn't care at all.
"No problem, I don't care about these external names. Besides, I'm a new widow. Even if my reputation is good, what can it change?"
"That won't work either..."
Lan Xin wanted to persuade him again, but she saw that Gu Jingchun's expression had turned cold.
Seeing this, she said nothing more and could only nod in agreement.
The news that Gu Jingchun was kidnapped naturally spread quickly to the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.
After Gu Wei'ang heard the news, he frowned and immediately sent people to look for him.
Chu Qianlan sat down somewhat at a loss.
"My Lord, what should we do?"
"Will Jingchun's incident affect the reputation of our mansion?"
Gu Wei'ang had a cold face and did not speak.
Chu Qianlan felt her heart sinking upon seeing this, and her tone became more complaining.
"I think this girl is not a good person. Look at how much trouble she has brought to our mansion since she came back. One after another, none of them make us feel at ease."
"Look, Yunjin has just gotten married. Although the Third Prince is a little inferior, she is the imperial consort after all, which can be regarded as a bit of a boost to our Marquis' Mansion.
Those ladies have obviously been visiting more frequently lately.
Unexpectedly, Jingchun caused this trouble again.
This will definitely affect the reputation of our mansion, and I'm afraid Nan Sheng's reputation will also be affected."
Chu Qianlan sighed, and the more she spoke, the angrier she became. She wished she could find Gu Jingchun right now and give her a good scolding.
