The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

Shi Jinyan narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent, as if the whole world was isolated from him.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, he slowly opened his eyes, opened his lips slightly, and said coldly:

"The Third Prince and his entourage will arrive at their fiefdom in two days. Even if they wanted to pursue them, it would be too far away. The Marquisate attempted to use the marriage exchange method to achieve their ulterior motives, but now it is too late. Even if they sent people to retrieve them now, it would be powerless."

Two ornately decorated carriages were moving slowly along the street.

The car curtain fluttered in the wind, and the figure of the person sitting in the car could be vaguely seen.

Behind this carriage, a team of fully armed soldiers followed closely. Their steps were neat and their demeanor was majestic, attracting the attention of passers-by on the road.

Everyone was extremely curious about this scene. They stopped and watched, whispering to each other about the origins and destinations of these carriages.

"Whose carriage is this? It's so luxurious. Could it be some prince traveling?"

"I haven't heard of any prince leaving the city. Could it be some lord and his family?"

"Hey, you don't know, it was the Grand Tutor who went out of the city himself to pick up his fiancée. I heard that the princess stayed at the manor for a few days and returned to the capital today. Master Shi went to pick her up yesterday."

"Ah, aren't they married yet?"

"So what? It was bestowed upon me by His Majesty. How can others say anything about it?"

"Ah... Lord Lingyu is so lucky! I've never seen Lord Shi care so much about others."

"..."

In fact, there were already specially arranged spies lurking in the bustling crowd.

As expected, not long after, this shocking news spread rapidly in these seemingly ordinary streets and alleys as if it had wings - Shi Jinyan actually went to personally welcome Gu Fanchu's return!

Hearing these discussions, Gu Xunzhou was speechless: How come... I don't deserve a name?

At the same time, several spies sent by the Marquis' Mansion also mixed in with the crowd.

After observing the situation calmly for a while, they hurried back to the Marquis' Mansion like a gust of wind to report the information they had learned to Meng Qiaoming.

When the people in the Marquis' Mansion learned of this situation, Gu's face turned pale and everything went dark before her eyes.

She originally thought that she had successfully sent Gu Fanchu out of the mansion, but now that they were about to reach the fiefdom, everything seemed hopeless.

But why did the news of her return suddenly come?

Could it be... Could it be that she had already discovered the conspiracy that he had carefully planned, so she didn't pass out from the drug?

So who was the person who presented the bridal sedan?

A series of questions hit Gu's heart like a heavy hammer, making her feel dizzy and dizzy.

Just when she was about to fall, fortunately the old woman and maid behind her were quick-witted and rushed forward to hold her tightly, thus preventing her from falling to the ground.

Meng Qiaoming was filled with panic and anxiety at this time.

Knowing that Gu Fanchu was in the capital, he was unable to find any trace of Meng Hewan.

When he thought of this, all kinds of bad situations that might happen came to his mind like a tide, making him anxious.

So, Meng Qiaoming waved the whip without hesitation, urging the horse under him to gallop away, aiming directly at the gate of the general's mansion.

The sound of horse hooves echoed in the streets, raising clouds of dust, as if foreshadowing the coming of a storm.

At the same time, Gu Fanchu, who was sitting in the carriage, naturally heard the discussions of the people around him.

Through these words, she finally understood why Shi Jinyan followed Gu Xunzhou to Zhuangzi.

It seems that Shi Jinyan is a very responsible person.

Although she can handle the problems she faces with her own abilities, sometimes having one more person to help can always make things go more smoothly.

As the carriage slowly moved forward, it finally stopped steadily in front of the general's mansion.

The old butler who had been waiting here saw the carriage stop and hurried forward to greet it.

Shi Jinyan got off the carriage swiftly, then walked quickly to the vehicle behind, standing quietly waiting for Gu Fanchu to get off.

The car curtain was gently lifted, and when Gu Fanchu's eyes met the man who was quietly waiting for her in front of her, her body involuntarily froze slightly.

However, this loss of composure only lasted for a moment, and she soon regained her usual calmness and quickly restrained the expression on her face.

When Gu Fanchu saw the man extending his broad and warm big hand to her, she placed her slender and delicate little hand gently on it like a docile kitten.

With Shi Jinyan's strong support, she got off the carriage carefully and slowly.

During this seemingly ordinary action, Gu Fanchu's eyes, as bright as stars, were scanning everything around him unnoticed.

Her sharp eyes were like flashes of lightning, quickly scanning the faces of every onlooker, trying to find the figure of someone from the Marquis' Mansion among them.

Shi Jinyan, who was standing beside her, quickly noticed her little thoughts.

As the two bodies moved closer due to the distance between them, he leaned down slightly and whispered in a low voice that only the two of them could hear:

"Don't worry, they will definitely come."

As if to confirm what Shi Jinyan said, at this moment, a deafening roar accompanied by the sound of rapid horse hooves suddenly resounded through the sky.

"Gu Fanchu, you bitch! Why are you here? And what have you done to Wan'er?"

This roar filled with anger and questioning was like a sudden thunder, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

When Gu Fanchu heard the voice, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought to himself: It's finally here!

Then, she quickly poked her head out from behind Shi Jinyan's tall body and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw a horse galloping towards me like a black whirlwind, with a man sitting on its back.

This person was none other than Meng Qiaoming. At the moment, his face was filled with anger, his eyes were wide open, veins bulged on his forehead, and he looked like an enraged lion, charging recklessly and running straight towards where Gu Fanchu was.

Shi Jinyan naturally noticed this scene as well.

His eyes, which were originally as deep as the sea, sank slightly, as if a dark cloud instantly covered them.

Then, he quickly reached into his sleeve with his right hand, and in the blink of an eye, he slipped out a heavy silver ingot.

The next moment, Shi Jinyan suddenly activated the deep internal strength in his body and swung it hard towards the silver ingot.

In an instant, the silver ingot shot out like a silver lightning with a sharp sound of wind, and hit the horse accurately, which was still galloping with no signs of stopping.

There was a dull "bang" sound, and the horse suddenly felt pain and became panic-stricken.

It neighed and flapped its front hooves in the air wildly, as if trying to break free from some invisible restraints.
