Chapter 975 Returning Their Freedom and Happiness

Not long after, the black unicorn landed smoothly in the front yard of the City Lord's Mansion in Zhongyuan City.

Gu Chan had just gotten off its back when Ouyang Wan'er, Zi Yue and Zuo Xin walked out from the lobby in front.

The moment the three of them saw Gu Chan, they couldn't stop crying because Gu Chan looked exactly like their husbands.

For a moment, they even wondered if their long-missed husbands had returned.

But they soon came to their senses and realized that the girl in front of them was Gu Cui'er, the daughter of the late Prime Minister Gu, and not their young and promising husband, Prince Chan.

Gu Chan felt extremely sad and tears welled up in her eyes. She wanted to rush up and give the three of them a tight hug, but she had no choice but to be a girl again and it was not appropriate for her to get close to them.

Turning her head away and quietly wiping away the tears in her eyes, Gu Chan pretended nothing had happened, walked up to the three people and bowed, saying, "Madams, please accept my condolences. On behalf of Prince Chan, I would like to say hello to you and hope that you can find the happiness that truly belongs to you in the future."

"Miss Gu, before your husband died in Diyue Country, did you have any words to tell us?" Ouyang Wan'er said crying.

"The situation was critical at the time. Prince Chan only told me to let Miss Guo Yuguo write a divorce letter on his behalf and give you freedom. As for the other things, he really didn't have time to say." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

"Woooooooo..."

When the three heard her say this, they burst into tears again and were extremely sad.

At this time, the old man Bai came out from the lobby and said in a cold voice, "Don't cry, the Dragon Guards are already at the gates of the city. You three are the backbone of Zhongyuan City, how can you cry like this?"

"I guess this must be the Master Bai that Prince Chan often mentioned in front of me, right?" Gu Chan asked in a pretentious manner.

After saying that, she respectfully clasped her fists and saluted the old man.

The old man rolled his eyes at her and said, "You little bastard, stop pretending to be so serious with me. I am old and my eyesight is not good, but I am not stupid."

"Haha...Mr. Bai, you're too polite. You're Prince Chan's master. I dare not be disrespectful to you." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

At this moment, she didn't dare to look up and make eye contact with the old man. She felt extremely guilty.

From what the old man said just now, she could tell that this old man probably knew about her disguise as a man a long time ago, but he just never exposed it.

Old Man Bai didn't say any more to her, but walked straight to the carriage at the back, then got in, and used the powerful spiritual energy in his body to penetrate into Xuanyuan Qing's body to heal his injuries.

Only half an incense stick of time had passed, and Xuanyuan Qing was able to come out of the carriage with Old Man Bai.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Ninth Prince, try to walk around to get the blood and energy in your body moving."

"Thank you, Mr. Bai, for your help. I am grateful for your kindness." Xuanyuan Qing said, clasping his fists and bowing.

"No need to thank me. I just hope that when you lead the army back to Kyoto, you will not blame my Bai family and give them important positions." The old man Bai said shrewdly.

"Of course. The Bai family has always been loyal to the royal family. If there is ever a day when I can return to Kyoto, I will definitely treat everyone in the Bai family well." Xuanyuan Qing promised.

Old Man Bai nodded with satisfaction and turned to look at Gu Chan.

Gu Chan quickly said with a grin, "Mr. Bai, is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"Come with me to the study, I have something to talk to you alone." said the old man.

"Okay, then Mr. Bai, please go over and have some tea first. I'll be back after chatting with the three ladies." Gu Chan said with a smile.

Old man Bai gave her a meaningful look, then walked ahead to the study in the backyard.

After he left, Ouyang Wan'er and the other two calmed down from their grief.

Gu Chan told Yuan Jie to help Xuanyuan Qing go to the lobby to rest, and then asked, "By the way, ladies, has Miss Guo Yuguo arrived safely in Zhongyuan City?"

"She and Shopkeeper Xu and others entered the city safely three days ago. Now they have opened a brothel called Wanhualou in Zhongyuan City." Ouyang Wan'er explained.

Gu Chan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

As long as Guo Yu, Xu Xing'er and others arrived in Zhongyuan City safely, she would not have to worry anymore.

As for Zuo Yun and the Thirteenth Princess, she was not worried at all. Not to mention that Zuo Yun was smart, just looking at the Thirteenth Princess's powerful physical skills, there were not many people in the entire Tiancang Kingdom who could touch them.

Therefore, Gu Chan calmed down and said, "This is the best. As long as they are safe, I don't have to worry about them anymore."

"Ms. Gu, what is the relationship between Guo Yu and your husband?" Ouyang Wan'er suddenly asked.

Zi Yue and Zuo Xin were also staring at her.

Gu Chan rolled her eyes and said cunningly, "When Prince Chan was in the capital of Diyue Kingdom, Guo Yu and her father Guo Pinchuan helped him a lot, so they were very good friends. Of course, Miss Guo also liked Prince Chan and almost got engaged to him. It's a pity that Prince Chan eventually died at the hands of those two old monsters, the Moon Guardians."

"No wonder my husband asked her to deliver the divorce letter to us and even asked her to write it. It seems that their relationship is indeed very close."

"I wonder if the two of them have ever had physical contact in the Earth-Moon Country?"

"Given my husband's personality, he probably wouldn't touch her. Otherwise, the three of us would have already continued the Gu family's bloodline."

All three of them spoke in a stern tone.

Gu Chan quickly explained, "Madams, you can rest assured on this point. At that time, Prince Chan was in the capital of the Earth Moon Kingdom, and he was focused on how to get the red spider lily spirit herb and save the Ninth Prince, so he and Miss Guo are completely innocent."

"Okay, you don't have to explain for him. He is already gone, how can we blame him anymore?" Ouyang Wan'er said sadly.

"Has Miss Guo given you the divorce letter she wrote on behalf of Prince Chan?" Gu Chan asked.

The three nodded.

Gu Chan sighed and said, "This is good. In the future, you will no longer be the daughter-in-law of Prince Chan, and you can go find the happiness that truly belongs to you. I also wish you to find a man who truly loves you as soon as possible."

“No matter what happens in the future, we will still take good care of his grandparents, as well as the clinic he left behind. As for the City Lord’s Mansion and the entire Zhongyuan City, we will leave them to you and the Ninth Prince.” Ouyang Wan’er said with tears in her eyes.

Gu Chan responded with such emotion that she almost cried.

The three of them didn't want to say anything more. They all stepped forward, opened their arms and hugged Gu Chan, then said goodbye to her and left, rushing back to Zhongyuan Medical Clinic.

After they left, Gu Chan stood alone in the yard, and suddenly felt empty in her heart.

Before coming here, she had thought that she would be very happy to have restored the freedom of the three ladies. But now she realized how much her escape had hurt the three ladies.

But now she had no choice but to do this.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan sighed helplessly and walked towards the study room in the backyard in a depressed mood.
