Chapter 30 Reporting to the authorities
Seeing this, Tianji immediately explained.
"This is the carriage from the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion. It must be coming to the palace to attend the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet."
Tianji said this and added another sentence in confusion.
"However, the birthday banquet is not over yet, why did the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an leave the palace now?"
Tianji said, "Speaking of this, I remembered that the Yong'an Marquis recently brought back his biological daughter who was left outside.
I just didn't expect that her daughter would come back with a four or five-year-old child."
When Tianji said this, he met Chen Hechuan's cold eyes. He immediately made a gesture to keep quiet and lowered his head and said:
"I have spoken too much, and I hope Your Highness will forgive me."
Chen Hechuan ignored him and strode into the palace.
"Give orders, from now on, anyone who shows up with my jade pendant must be brought to me immediately."
"yes."
In the carriage, Gu Yunjin heard the noise and lifted the curtain, just in time to see Shen Hechuan's handsome face.
She was so happy that she couldn't help but look at him a few more times. She wished she could stop the carriage and get off to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
However, she thought about how she was now completely tied to the Third Prince, and suddenly felt a sense of loss.
And the one who caused all this for her was Gu Jingchun.
She now clearly remembers that it was Gu Jingchun who took her there and knocked her unconscious.
She will settle this account with Gu Jingchun.
Gu Jingchun also lifted the car curtain.
However, all she saw was Shen Hechuan's back.
She fixed her gaze and vaguely felt that the figure looked familiar.
She is straight and slender, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and has a sense of dignity.
It’s very much like Shen Muqian back then.
However, the temperament of Shen Muqian at that time was even softer.
Thinking of Shen Muqian, Gu Jingchun thought of his son and immediately calmed down.
Now is not the time to daydream.
In the carriage, Chu Qianlan looked at Gu Jingchun with a cold face, praying in her heart that Butler Li would not do anything, while looking at Gu Jingchun carefully.
It was also at this moment that she realized that she had never known Gu Jingchun.
She knew nothing about the twenty years before Gu Jingchun.
Who would have thought that she would be so bold as to attack him in the palace.
Chu Qianlan now looked at Gu Jingchun with a hint of fear in her eyes.
After all, her neck was still burning with pain and her voice was very hoarse.
Especially after Gu Jingchun looked over, she trembled slightly almost reflexively and immediately said:
"I've already instructed the servant to notify them in advance. Once Steward Li gets the news, he will definitely send the person back."
Gu Jingchun looked solemn.
An ordinary housekeeper in the Yong'an Marquis Mansion couldn't do anything to Gu Jinxi. He must have encountered other problems, otherwise Xiaoman would not easily release such a signal flare.
So Gu Jingchun directly ordered: "Go directly to the farm outside the city."
"You'd better pray that nothing happens to my son, otherwise..."
Gu Jingchun chuckled twice and said nothing more.
However, Chu Qianlan heard murderous intent in this chuckle, and she was so scared that she immediately shrank back.
Logically speaking, she also came from a military family and had been to the battlefield. When Gu Weiang was fighting on the battlefield, she also did logistical work.
I didn't expect that I would be scared by my own daughter. If I tell others about it, I will definitely be laughed at.
At this time, on the street, Gu Jinxi was walking alone with a small bag on his back.
He walked quickly, heading towards the palace based on his memory.
And an idle man on the roadside saw Gu Jinxi dressed in rich clothes and carrying a bulging bag on his back. He thought that she must have sneaked out of the house, and immediately had some bad ideas.
He immediately walked to Gu Jinxi's side and asked in a friendly manner, "Young Master, where are you going?"
After saying that, Gu Jinxi didn't even look at him and just walked away.
Seeing this, the man immediately followed.
"Young Master, are you lost? Do you want me to help you?"
Gu Jinxi still ignored him.
Mother said not to talk to strangers.
Moreover, he remembered the way to the palace. It was this road, and he would arrive at the end.
The man saw that Gu Jinxi ignored him after he said several words, and he became a little angry.
"Hey, kid, why aren't you talking?"
As he spoke, he reached out and wanted to grab Gu Jinxi's bag.
However, he didn't expect that before his hand touched the bundle, the child suddenly turned around and punched him in the stomach.
The small fist obviously had no power, but unexpectedly the man's body flew backwards uncontrollably and finally hit a shop on the side of the road.
“Crash—”
With a loud bang, a big hole was smashed in the door of the shop.
The man and the door fell to the ground.
Suddenly, the roadside, which was originally bustling, became silent.
Everyone looked at the man.
They didn't see clearly what happened, but just kept their eyes on the man.
"Li San, you are becoming more and more of a piece of shit. You even want to bully a child."
Li San struggled to get up from the ground.
All the bones in his body hurt now, especially the ground where he was beaten, as if all the bones were broken.
But in order not to be laughed at, he forced himself to stand up.
"I……"
He spoke with difficulty.
"I didn't bully him, he... beat me."
After saying this, everyone present burst into laughter.
"Li San, I think you've gone crazy gambling. He's just a kid, how could he actually hit you?"
"I think you are deliberately extorting money!"
The people present were all small traders, and they all knew Li San, the rogue, so naturally they didn't believe his lies.
Gu Jinxi, with a cold face, explained: "He was trying to steal my bag."
This made everyone present even more angry.
"Li San, you said you didn't bully anyone, but you even snatched the child's bag!"
"Yeah, normally we wouldn't mind you stealing something from us, but you actually stole something from a child and even tried to frame the child. That's simply too much."
"Yes, that's too much!"
Everyone followed suit.
"We absolutely cannot let this matter go. How about we take him to the authorities? Otherwise, sooner or later, we will all be harmed by him."
"Yes, go see the official!"
As they talked, they wanted to drag Li San to see the official.
But Gu Jinxi was now determined to save his mother and didn't want to go at all. He wanted to leave, but was stopped by someone.
"Young Master, you can't leave. You are the victim."
Gu Jinxi knew that these people were helping him, so he explained, "But I need to go find my mother. My mother is in danger."
"Is there danger? If there is danger, then we must report it to the police."
The man explained to Gu Jinxi, "Let's go to the government office. There are officials there who can help us."
Gu Jinxi thought of what the housekeeper said, that ordinary people were not allowed to enter the palace.
He also didn't know whether the jade pendant was useful or not.
He thought again of what was said in the picture book, that those officials really did serve the people, and maybe they could really help him find his mother.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinxi no longer refused and followed the people to the government office.
Behind him, two carriages passed by quickly.
The logo of the Yong'an Marquisate on the carriage kept shaking with the movement of the carriage.
