Chapter 47: Reputation Ruined
But at this moment, Chen Hechuan gently waved his hand.
In an instant, the carriage took a step back.
Gu Yunjin paused and looked at Chen Hechuan blankly.
"Brother Crown Prince..."
She murmured, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
However, Chen Hechuan ordered in a cold voice: "The future Third Prince's consort is out late at night, which may be detrimental to the reputation of the royal family. You are absolutely not allowed to get close."
Hearing this, the guards took another step back.
As he said that, he looked at Gu Yunjin again.
“It’s getting dark, please allow the Third Prince’s wife to return home early to avoid any damage to her reputation.
As for your spending the night away from home tonight, I will also report the truth to His Majesty. I hope the future Third Prince's Consort will respect herself."
After saying that, Shen Hechuan closed the curtain indifferently, and the carriage slowly drove away.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunjin was completely stunned, his face full of disbelief.
He just left like that?
He actually ignored her safety and just left her here in the middle of the night and left!
She watched the carriage carrying Shen Hechuan leaving, and thought of the cold words he had said. Her heart suddenly turned cold, and she completely collapsed.
After the carriage left, Gu Yunjin walked around woodenly like a zombie.
She didn't know how long she had been walking, she just stared at the direction the carriage left.
In a dilapidated temple not far away, several beggars saw Gu Yunjin and immediately became interested.
They walked over slowly.
"Girl, are you alone?"
"It's getting so late, why don't you come over and rest for a while?"
Gu Yunjin looked at the beggars with evil faces. What was there that he didn't understand? He was so scared that he immediately regained his senses.
She was nervous in her heart, but her face was calm.
She smiled.
"Okay, you guys are so nice..."
Gu Yunjin said as he took a step towards the beggar, saying as he walked:
"You guys are so kind. I wanted to rest in another dilapidated temple before, but they thought I was sick and wouldn't let me in."
Hearing this, the beggars were shocked.
He quickly asked, "You...what disease do you have..."
Gu Yunjin smiled again when he heard that, but there was a hint of foolishness in his smile.
"Venereus!"
As she spoke, she lifted up her skirt, revealing her blood-stained calves.
Her calf was scratched by thorns when she was going down the mountain. Now it was covered with bloodstains, which looked very scary in the night.
No matter how stupid these beggars were, they knew that syphilis was not a good disease and was contagious.
When they looked at the girl's attire, they guessed that she must have been kicked out of a brothel.
Hua Niang, who was infected with this disease, was doomed to die. They didn't want to be infected, so they drove Gu Yunjin out directly.
Gu Yunjin was a little unhappy when he saw this.
"What are you doing?!"
"It's so cold outside. Let me go over and rest for a while. I promise to make you... feel comfortable..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the beggars felt that their guess was correct, and they became even more resistant to Gu Yunjin, refusing to let her get close.
Gu Yunjin had no choice but to sigh and continue walking forward.
When she could no longer see the beggar, she immediately quickened her pace and finally started running again.
It was not until she hid in a small corner that she began to tremble with realization.
The second day.
Gu Jingchun slowly woke up from his sleep.
Perhaps because the mansion was in such chaos last night, she slept particularly soundly last night.
After she had packed up and was about to go out, she heard the conversation between two servants outside.
"Did you hear that? The second young lady has been found."
"Finally found it. I heard that it was discovered by the people outside the city this morning.
When she was found, the second young lady's clothes were disheveled and she looked very embarrassed. No one knew what she had been through.
"Well, that goes without saying. It's really hard to imagine what a woman goes through after staying out all night!"
"The Second Young Lady's reputation is completely ruined this time."
"Didn't you see how loudly the Madam cried this morning?"
"The Second Young Master was so angry that he was yelling outside. He even cut down most of the flowers in the Second Young Lady's yard. You can see how angry he was."
The two servants spoke in lower voices.
Lan Xin snorted when she heard this.
"She's lucky enough to come back alive."
Their people took Gu Yunjin out of the city yesterday and then came back. They didn't send anyone to keep an eye on Gu Yunjin.
Just let her fend for herself.
And Gu Jingchun also knows Gu Yunjin.
Such a scheming woman would definitely not die so easily.
Besides, she didn't want her to die like this.
Things are only fun when she is alive.
When Gu Jingchun thought of this and was about to go out, he was stopped by someone.
"Miss, the master and the mistress want you to come over."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun smiled slightly and then it passed.
Waited until we reached the main hall.
As soon as Gu Jingchun entered, he saw Gu Weiang and Chu Qianlan sitting there with serious expressions.
When Gu Weiang saw Gu Jingchun coming in, he immediately shouted.
"Get down on your knees!"
Gu Jingchun didn't move.
"I don't know why my father asked me to kneel down!"
"Father asked you to kneel, and you dared to refuse?" Chu Qianlan said.
Gu Jingchun said, "If Father tells me to kneel, I will naturally kneel. But if Father accuses me of some unfounded crime, then I won't kneel!"
Chu Qianlan sneered when he heard this.
"You were already prepared before I even opened my mouth, and now you're still insisting that this is a trumped-up charge. I think you're just trying to quibble!"
Gu Weiang also spoke immediately afterwards.
"Tell me the truth, did you kidnap Yunjin and send her to the woods outside the city?"
"Let's not talk about the damage this does to Yunjin's reputation for now. Do you understand how dangerous this is? If something happens to her, can you afford it?"
Gu Jingchun looked at Gu Weiang.
"May I ask why Father thinks I kidnapped Yunjin?"
Gu Jingchun said this and slowly knelt down, looking at Gu Weiang with a face full of grievance.
"Father, you know I grew up in the countryside. Since I came to Tiandu, I still don't have any friends. How could I find someone to kidnap Gu Yunjin?"
Chu Qianlan snorted coldly and immediately said:
"Don't try to quibble."
"Yun Jin has always been very popular in Tiandu and has never made enemies. Ever since you came, she got into this trouble. If it wasn't you, who else could it be?"
Chu Qianlan immediately said:
Gu Jingchun sneered when he heard this.
"Even if the government is adjudicating a case, they still need evidence. Do you think they can convict me based solely on my mother's words?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qianlan immediately said:
"What evidence do we need? The girls around Yunjin have already confessed everything.
Yunjin was angry that you framed her, so she found a few people to scare you.
Then this happened. If this wasn't an opportunity for you to take revenge, what was it?"
Hearing this, Gu Jingchun looked at Chu Qianlan again with a sad look.
