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

"Aunt, my sister has checked me out and I'm fine. You and the old lady don't have to worry."

Wang Yuyan saw that everyone was looking at her anxiously, and quickly spoke up to say that everything was fine.

When Wang heard that Gu Fanchu had already seen it, although she was still a little worried, she couldn't say anything to her face. She just held her in her arms with heartache.

"Don't worry, auntie won't let you suffer any injustice!"

She felt sorry for her brother for letting Yan'er suffer such injustice.

The old lady frowned, her tone cold and hard, "Hmph, the Seventh Princess has been acting increasingly erratically in recent years. Tomorrow I'll have your grandfather come to the palace and demand that His Majesty give the General's Mansion an explanation!"

Although the General's Mansion has been too powerful and has lived a low-key and cautious life in recent years, it does not mean that they are weak. How can they just let it go when they are bullied to the point of being bullied?

"Grandma, we have no evidence."

Gu Fanchu said calmly.

Shi Jinyan was right. They had no evidence to prove that it was the Seventh Princess who did it today, so they had no way to convict her.

Wang said unwillingly, "Should we just let it go?"

Gu Fanchu sighed and shook his head, saying, "Master Shi said that the incident was caused by him, and he will resolve it and give both families a satisfactory explanation."

The old lady didn't expect Shi Jinyan to give such an explanation. She was a little unsure for a moment, and the room fell silent in an instant.

Seeing no one speaking, Gu Fanchu continued, "In any case, Chu'er suggests that to avoid further incidents, we should return to the capital early tomorrow morning. If the Seventh Princess wants to fight to the death, I'm afraid we won't be able to defend ourselves."

On the one hand, it is not safe for my grandmother and my aunt and uncle to be here.

On the other hand, she wanted to go back and stop what happened to Gu Xunzhou.

In the previous life, my grandmother and others came to Putuo Temple to pray for blessings, but because I was not there, they did not encounter the incident with the Seventh Princess.

My grandmother and her group did not return to the city until the evening of the second day. On their way back, they happened to meet Gu Xunzhou, who was discovered to have done something with the woman and was caught red-handed by many scholars.

Then the woman started crying and complaining that Gu Xunzhou forced her, which made everyone very angry.

In that case, they should go back early and rescue Gu Xunzhou in advance.

Wang frowned and agreed with Gu Fanchu's opinion: "Yes, mother, we didn't bring many people with us to burn incense. After all, we are passive in the temple and it is not safe. Why don't we go down the mountain early tomorrow morning?"

We can send someone to get the amulet back later. The abbot has already prepared it.

Everything will be discussed after we return to the capital...

Finally, the old lady compromised: "Then let's go down the mountain early tomorrow morning and not disturb others."

Gu Fanchu breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.

Because Wang Yuyan was frightened, Gu Fanchu slept with her at night. The old lady did not dare to be careless at night and asked everyone around her to be alert.

Everyone tossed and turned all night and didn't sleep well.

Early the next morning, Wang asked the maids and old women to pack up their things first. After having a vegetarian meal, she sent someone to donate a large sum of money to the temple and then quietly took everyone to the carriage.

However, there was some heavy fog on the mountain, so the team moved a little slowly.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, they met another official's family, which also had women going up the mountain to pray for blessings. Wang got off the carriage and exchanged a few words with them, then they separated and continued on their way.

In Putuo Temple, Chang Geng reported to his master the truth about the women of the general's mansion leaving early in the morning, and then stood quietly aside.

Shi Jinyan picked up the porcelain cup on the table, took a sip slowly, narrowed his eyes, and thought of that dissatisfied look, and smiled slightly.

Is she scared?

When I saw her like that yesterday, I thought she would stick with the other party to the end.

Forget it, it’s better to leave first. After all, there is a fifth prince who is not limited to the backyard.

"What is the Fifth Prince doing?"

Chang Geng turned his head to look at his master, unable to guess what he was thinking, but answered honestly, "The Fifth Prince didn't do anything else and stayed in the courtyard the whole time."

"Well, don't get close to him, be careful not to be discovered."

Shi Jinyan warned that the fifth prince was not a simple person.

Meanwhile, the eldest princess learned that the women from the general's residence had left the temple early in the morning. She sighed slightly, her brow furrowed with anxiety. "After all, it's Ling'er's decision whether to accommodate them or not. I'll make it up to them after we return to the capital."

Although we started our journey early in the morning, it was still almost noon when we returned to the capital.

Gu Fanchu had something on his mind and seemed a little uneasy.

Wang Yuyan was sent back to the Governor's Mansion, and Wang also followed. After all, after what had happened, she should personally apologize to her family.

As soon as he returned to the general's mansion, Gu Fanchu sent the old lady back to Songtao Garden, and immediately went back to the yard to look for someone.

Bai Li was waiting in the yard and was very surprised to see the young lady come back early.

"Miss, didn't you say you would be back in the afternoon? What happened?"

Bai Li was a thoughtful person. Seeing the solemn expression on the young lady's face, she made some guesses.

Gu Fanchu gave her an approving look and asked directly, "Did Brother go out today? Did Liuli and the others go with him?"

Bai Li didn't know what had happened, but since the young lady asked so seriously, it must be something serious. She immediately put away her smile and said, "The young master went out for duty early this morning and hasn't returned yet. Sister Liuli also went out with him early this morning."

Gu Fanchu felt a little relieved. If he went on duty, he would not be able to rest until almost now. So something might happen when he went out to eat.

"Amber, I'll wait for you at Molianju. Take Liuyun and Liuzhu to look for him quickly. If there's any emergency, bring my brother to Molianju first."

"Yes."

"Pack up and go out immediately. Tell Nanny Wang that I was greedy for the crispy duck at Mo Lian Ju. If anyone in the mansion is looking for me, just say I'm out."

Baili and Qiutang didn't dare to ask more questions. Before they had time to sit down, they followed him out again.

Amber took people to find Gu Xunzhou first, while Gu Fanchu took people to Mo Lianju.

Mo Lian Ju has been doing very good business since its opening.

Because of my second uncle’s relationship, many literati and poets were invited to the restaurant when it opened. The unique decoration style is indeed eye-catching.

Including the chef there, he was also recruited from outside the capital. The taste is unique and fresh, which is eye-catching.

With the positive reviews from the first group of people, its reputation spread quickly.

It was already noon when Gu Fanchu arrived, and the hall was already full of guests.

The servant beside her didn't know Gu Fanchu, but seeing that although she was wearing a veiled hat, she was dressed luxuriously, and the maids following her were also dressed elegantly, she must be a girl from a wealthy family, and she must not be offended.

When she heard the pretty maid beside her ask for a private room, she immediately nodded and bowed and led her people upstairs.
