Mu Yunhan smiled and said, "I know. Don't worry, Uncle."
Old Man Gu was silent for a moment and said softly: "No matter what, I am on your side."
Mu Yunhan knew very well that this meant that among her, Ji Xiang, and Mu Yao, she ranked first.
It's not that she should be the first choice between her and Gu Fenglin.
But for Old Man Gu, it was already the limit of what he could do.
Although she didn't think she needed to argue with those two people, she still thanked him seriously: "Thank you, uncle."
Old Man Gu shook his head and continued talking about what happened before...
Just like that, everyone thought that Gu Fenglin must be dead, or at least would never appear in front of others.
It wasn't until King Shou received the crown prince that he discovered that there was such a person as Gu Fenglin.
And after an auspicious event happened, the mute man unexpectedly recovered without treatment, and even escaped from Qi State with the prince and his wife. Only then did everyone know where he had been during the two years he had been missing.
As a result, an uproar broke out.
The Gu family was inevitably involved in the storm.
The emperor, the Jiang family, and the four princes all believed that Gu had violated the instructions of his ancestors and interfered with the succession of the throne.
Gu Fenglin's matter was actually a conspiracy, manipulated from beginning to end by the head of the Gu family.
The purpose is to welcome the prince back and show kindness to the prince, whose intention is to be punished.
What auspiciousness came from heaven and Gu Fenglin, a mute, suddenly became able to speak. It was all a deliberate attempt by his family to add weight to the prince.
The emperor was very dissatisfied, but he couldn't express it openly. Otherwise, wouldn't it be clear that he was not happy for the prince to return to the country?
So all the ministers took note of their superiors' intentions and looked for trouble for the Gu family everywhere, biting whatever they caught.
Gu was so worried that she could not prove herself.
We can't do anything to Gu Fenglin, because Gu Fenglin has great righteousness. From every aspect, he has made great contributions.
Old Man Gu smiled: "They hate the young master so much, but there is nothing they can do against him. But after the girl comes to Beijing, I'm afraid she has to be careful."
Although Gu Fenglin has done a lot during these days, those people are always holding back their voices, and they will definitely look for Mu Yunhan.
Mu Yunhan was mentally prepared for this: "I understand."
At noon the next day, we finally arrived outside Lanjing City.
Mu Ying, Mu Li, and Xiaomi stared blankly at the towering city wall, while Mu Jie and other sin slaves expressed various emotions. They never thought they could come back in this life.
But no one felt as complicated as Mu Yunhan.
She stood on the official road, ignoring the glare of the sun, looking straight at the city gate, her emotions agitated.
Old Man Gu thought she was waiting for Gu Fenglin to pick her up, so he explained in a low voice: "The young master is waiting for you at home. It is not convenient for him to show up."
Nowadays, Gu Fenglin's every move is attracting much attention. If he comes to pick up Mu Yunhan, it will only bring her more trouble.
"I know." Mu Yunhan said with a smile: "So this is Lanjing, it is indeed majestic and majestic."
She was smiling, but her eyes were cold, and she looked very unhappy.
Old Man Gu's eyes dimmed, feeling that he was still sad after all.
"Let's go." Mu Yunhan said hello and took the lead into the city.
Lanjing is still the same place she remembered when she was a child, lively and prosperous, but it is not that way, because many shops have changed owners, and the street stalls are hard to find.
Mu Yunhan took a deep breath of Lanjing's air. It was just like this, cold and mixed with restlessness.
Fourteen years had passed since she walked freely on the streets of Lanjing for the last time. (To be continued)
