Wen Shiqing and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
Si Yi was somewhat disappointed.
Xue Ziyu kept his head down, wishing everyone would forget about him. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief after Gu Linchao left, a hand suddenly reached out, grabbed his neck, and dragged him out of the main hall.
Xue Ziyu's expression changed drastically. He was about to beg for mercy, but he stopped abruptly when he met Si Yi's cold gaze. A chill crept up his spine, making him afraid to move.
The sky outside was already beginning to lighten.
Wen Nongnong followed Gu Linchao out of the Wen residence and saw a low-key black carriage parked there, surrounded by heavily armed guards.
Upon seeing the two emerge, the armored guard knelt on one knee, his voice resounding, "Your Highness, Your Majesty!"
Wen Nongnong blinked, her eyes trembling slightly.
Such a scene is something that no matter how hard a film crew tries in modern times, they cannot film.
While I was still stunned, the man's low, cold voice reached my ears.
"Let go!"
Wen Nongnong snapped out of her daze, met the man's cold gaze, and subconsciously withdrew her hand.
"Get in the car," Gu Linchao said immediately afterward, his tone commanding and leaving no room for argument.
Wen Nong Nong looked at the tall carriage in front of her and subconsciously reached out her hand to him, "The carriage is too tall, please help me up."
Gu Linchao turned his head, glanced at her with icy eyes, and said nothing.
Wen Nongnong blinked, quickly withdrew her hand, and said tactfully, "Alright, just pretend I didn't say anything." Then, lifting her skirt, she nimbly climbed onto the carriage.
After seeing her go up, Gu Linchao mounted the black horse brought by the armored guards and then ordered, "Return to the manor."
Wen Nongnong sat in the carriage, lifted a corner of the curtain, and looked outside.
Armored guards stood on both sides of the carriage, while Gu Linchao rode ahead on horseback.
Wen Nong Nong lowered the carriage curtain and leaned back against the carriage wall, somewhat dejected.
Just now at the Wen residence, she had a slight illusion that Gu Linchao wouldn't be difficult to get along with, but now she had come to her senses.
Gu Linchao is still the same Gu Linchao. Just now at the Wen residence, perhaps he didn't want to embarrass her because of Wen Shiqing's sake.
The thought of living under the oppressive atmosphere emanating from Gu Linchao from now on made her feel listless.
Gu Linchao is a person who values rules very much. Such a person will not allow even the slightest mistake to happen, and naturally, he will not allow the people around him to make mistakes either. Living with such a person is very tiring.
She could already imagine how miserable her life would be from now on.
As Wen Nongnong was lost in thought, the carriage came to a stop.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Prince's residence." The voice of the armored guard came from outside the carriage.
Wen Nongnong paused for a moment, straightened her clothes, and got up to leave the carriage.
However, as soon as she stepped off the carriage, a figure suddenly rushed over, knelt down at her feet, and cried out in anguish, "Your Highness, please, save me..."
Wen Nong Nong looked down and saw Xue Ziyu kneeling before her, his face covered in blood, trembling like a leaf, his eyes filled with fear. "Your Majesty, please save me! I don't want to die..."
She paused for a moment, then caught a glimpse of Si Yi walking over out of the corner of her eye.
The boy held a sword in his hand, his expression extremely cold.
“This man is incredibly audacious, attempting to damage the reputation of the Prince’s Mansion. He deserves to die. However, if Your Highness wishes to plead for him, I have no choice but to give the Princess some face and let him go.”
Wen Nongnong sensed a hint of sarcasm in his words, and her heart skipped a beat.
The young man had been following Gu Linchao around ever since he arrived at the Wen residence, so he must be one of his confidants.
