The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

"I think the Chu family... must have wanted her to disappear a long time ago."

As Jiang Chaosheng spoke, his eyes became even sharper.

This is how the aristocratic families behave.

It would be bad enough if they exploited the common people, but they don't even care about their own relatives.

How cold-blooded.

"What about Chu Yunyue in the future? She definitely can't go back to the Chu family, and the Chu family won't recognize her identity. If...if we take her in, will there be any trouble?"

Jiang Jiang was also very conflicted in her heart. She actually didn't want to cause any trouble at all.

But Chu Yunyue is in this condition now, it is really dangerous for her to be wandering outside.

And...what if she regains her memory someday...

Jiang Jiang admitted that she was selfish. She was not a saint who had no desires. On the contrary, she was superficial and selfish and only wanted to choose the side that was beneficial to herself.

Jiang Chaosheng, who was standing by, heard Jiang Jiang's question and fell into deep thought.

After a moment, Jiang Chaosheng sighed: "Alas, it's a human life after all. From now on, we should treat her as our distant relative. Her name should be changed. She's a fool who knows nothing, so it's easier to support her."

It was he who brought Chu Yunyue back to Qili Lane. Now Jiang Chaosheng really couldn't abandon her and let her fend for herself outside.

Anyway...

A younger sister is also someone to lead, um, raise.

I can raise one younger sister, so I should be able to raise two...right?

"Then let's call her Yunyue from now on. We'll tell everyone that she's A-niang's relative, her surname is Yun, and she's our cousin... er, my cousin."

Jiang Jiang blinked and suddenly remembered that Chu Yunyue was older than her. It was all because Chu Yunyue called her sister all day long, making her forget that her current body was not even sixteen years old.

"Okay, I'll go talk to Dad and Mom. As for her identity documents, I need to re-register the identities of those refugees from the outer city recently. I should be able to handle this."

Jiang Chaosheng on the side spoke seriously, as if he had finally let go of the heavy things in his heart.

Of course, this wasn't the only thing on his mind; he had so many other things to worry about...

**

That night.

Gu Mansion.

Bai Tan'er reported Chu Yunyue's affairs to Gu Yanqing as usual.

"The Chu family is so cruel that they actually announced her death! Minister Gu, how about we take Chu Yunyue over?"

Bai Tan'er had protected Chu Yunyue for so many days, and had always been speculating about the relationship between Chu Yunyue and Gu Yanqing. Now... Chu Yunyue had been abandoned by the Chu family, so wouldn't Prime Minister Gu be able to...

"Okay, go back to the palace."

Gu Yanqing's voice suddenly sounded in Bai Tan'er's ears.

Bai Tan'er was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard.

"Minister Gu, I'm going back to the palace. Who will protect Miss Chu from now on?"

"Lin Jing alone is enough."

Since the Jiang family has decided to take Chu Yunyue in, Chu Yunyue no longer needs Gu Yanqing to watch over her. Jiang Jiang will take care of her.

Gu Yanqing was very relieved about this, and Lin Jing would continue to follow them.

"Just him?"

Bai Tan'er looked unconvinced.

That Lin Jing is no match for her at all. If one of them has to stay, it should be her!

Why is it Lin Jing!

"He's my man."

Gu Yanqing's voice suddenly turned cold, and the air in the room seemed to freeze for a moment.

Bai Tan'er's face immediately turned pale, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. She didn't dare to breathe, for fear that Gu Yanqing would attack her the next moment.

The feeling of being shrouded in the shadow of death once again surfaced in her mind.

Gu Yanqing, who exactly are you?

After a few breaths, the coldness in the room dissipated.

Bai Tan'er's body went limp, she staggered and almost fell.

She stood up in panic and spoke tremblingly, "Then... I will return to the imperial city to report."

After saying that, Bai Tan'er turned around and fled.

**

After Bai Tan'er left, the door of the study slowly closed.

Gu Yanqing was still sitting on the chair, not even raising his eyelids.

"dong dong"

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Gu Yanqing, who was sitting on the chair, finally raised his eyes. His dark eyes were like a deep pool, deep and complex.

"Master Prime Minister."

Jiang Wen, dressed in tight clothes, walked in. Perhaps because he had just come from the Ministry of Justice, Jiang Wen still had a strong smell of blood on his body.

Gu Yanqing glanced at Jiang Wen and didn't like the smell of blood on him.

"Wash yourself thoroughly before you come back next time, so that Yan Huan won't smell your scent." Gu Yanqing spoke with a cold tone.

"I know I was wrong, and I will pay more attention next time."

Jiang Wen respectfully admitted his mistake, then slowly walked to Gu Yanqing's desk and spoke again, "Prime Minister, I have verified with the people of the Divine Constables Division, and there are indeed no other masters appearing in the capital recently. However, a prisoner from the Divine Constables Division recently escaped, and that prisoner is Chen Jinting."

Chen Jinting.

Gu Yanqing still remembers this name and was deeply impressed.

"Speaking of which, this Chen Jinting is a bit strange. When he escaped from prison, he injured eight detectives from the Divine Constable's Division. My Lord, those eight detectives are all top-notch masters. I personally examined their injuries and can see that Chen Jinting held back. It's obvious that his martial arts skills are far superior to those of the Divine Constable's Division. So... who seriously injured Chen Jinting back then? It can't be possible. Was it really Eunuch Hong?"

Jiang Wen still remembered that Lin Jing had found a lot of banknotes on Chen Jinting, as well as evidence of private transactions between Eunuch Hong and some officials in the capital. The people from the Divine Police Department also confirmed that Chen Jinting was the one who killed Eunuch Hong.

At first Jiang Wen thought Chen Jinting was just an ordinary killer, but now it seems that things are not that simple.

Chen Jinting is so strong, so the person who beat him so badly must be very powerful too, right?

"Eunuch Hong is already dead. Even if he really had some strange martial arts skills, it is impossible to confirm them now. As for Chen Jinting..."

Gu Yanqing tapped the memorial on the table with his fingers. "If the aura Lin Jing felt that day was really him, perhaps... after escaping prison, he wanted to seek revenge on Lin Jing, but later... he didn't make a move."

It was Lin Jing who sent the seriously injured Chen Jinting to the Divine Detective Department. When he entered the Divine Detective Department, Chen Jinting had already regained consciousness. He must have remembered Lin Jing's breath at that time, so he went to find Lin Jing after escaping from prison.

Then it should have nothing to do with Jiang Jiang, but...

Chen Jinting had already found Lin Jing, so why didn't he take action later?

Is it because of Bai Taner?

Lin Jing fought with Bai Tan'er that day and was taken back to Gu Mansion by Bai Tan'er as a killer. Could it be that just because of this, Chen Jinting let him go?

Gu Yanqing didn't like this feeling. All the uncertain factors could lead to an irreversible situation.

"Continue to track Chen Jinting's whereabouts. I want to know where he went and what he did."

Gu Yanqing ordered coldly that Jiang Wen was a master of interrogation and tracking, and he would always find a way to find Chen Jinting.
