Mrs. Chen was startled by the Duke's words. She took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Master, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong with me? You should ask your good son!" Mr. Guo said, his eyes fell on Li Shichen, with a bit of hatred in his eyes: "The Li family's family motto said that gambling is not allowed. Bad habits, you raised a son, you really understand what it means to do something you know you can’t do!”

"This..." Mrs. Chen's heart thumped. She guessed that the Duke of Guo might have thought this happened, but she was still a little nervous when she heard the other party say it with her own ears.

After a brief silence, Chen said seriously: "How is this possible? Master, is there any misunderstanding here?"

"Misunderstanding? If I am not completely sure, will I come to settle accounts with this traitor?" The Duke of Guo said, his eyes falling on Li Shichen: "On weekdays, if you eat, drink and have fun but don't like to study, I will just turn a blind eye. I only have one eye, but look at what you are doing!"

"Dad, there is no son!" Li Shichen sat up and looked at his father: "This is all framed by others!"

"Framing you? Why do others frame you?" The Duke looked at the injuries on his son's face and sneered: "The injuries on your face were caused by others! Li Shichen, you really disappoint me!"

"That's enough!" At this time, Chen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted: "Master, what qualifications do you have to say anything to Brother Chen? Don't let the court release you not long after Brother Chen was born. You won't be able to come back for a year." You will be leaving in a few days, have you ever fulfilled your nurturing obligations to Brother Chen in the past few years?"

The Duke of Guo looked at Mrs. Chen with a cold face, frowned and said, "What? Is this why he went gambling?"

"It's not him who gambles! Master, you still don't want to believe your son!" Mrs. Chen took a deep breath: "Okay, since you don't want to believe it, then I will strangle him with my own hands now."

After saying this, Mrs. Chen winked at Li Shichen.

Li Shichen understood and immediately shouted that he was going to kill him, saying that he would not bother his mother any more.

Just when everything was in chaos, Gu Qingyuan also welcomed a guest.

Ji Wenyue stood by the bed, looked at Gu Qingyuan lying on the bed, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I still said it."

Gu Qingyuan continued to look through the things in his hands and nodded casually: "Yes, I understand."

Seeing Gu Qingyuan's indifferent expression, Ji Wenyue frowned and said, "What do you mean? Aren't you angry?"

"I'm not angry." Gu Qingyuan sat up and looked at Ji Wenyue: "I thought you would say that you like the Duke so much, and I can understand you."

"Really?" Ji Wenyue's eyes suddenly lit up: "If you say that, you don't blame me?"

Gu Qingyuan nodded and said with a smile: "I don't blame you, but in the future, I will reconsider our relationship."

After saying these words, Gu Qingyuan waved to Sui Han and asked her to help him up.

Sitting up, Gu Qingyuan looked at Ji Wenyue: "Aunt Wen, don't blame me. You can tell Duke Guo about Li Shichen's gambling today for the sake of the Duke's Palace, and then you can also fight me with swords for the Duke's Palace tomorrow, so …”

"I won't hurt you. You brought me back here. How could I possibly hurt you?" Ji Wenyue explained hurriedly.

Gu Qingyuan sighed: "Aunt Wen, don't say anything. All words are pale. If you want me to believe you, let me see what you will do."

After saying these words, Gu Qingyuan asked Suihan to see the guests off.

After Ji Wenyue left, Suihan came in with a letter from outside.

"Madam, this is brought to you by someone from the shopkeeper Qian on West Street." As he spoke, Sui Han handed the letter to Gu Qingyuan.

"Shopkeeper Qian?" Gu Qingyuan had no impression of this person. She thought about it for a long time but didn't know who this person was.Seeing that Gu Qingyuan couldn't remember who it was, Sui Han explained: "Madam, it's only right that you have no impression. This is the person arranged by the old lady."

"Oh? What does the old lady arrange for me to do?" Gu Qingyuan said as he opened the envelope.

After seeing what was inside, she understood what Shopkeeper Qian wanted to find her.

"Madam, what did the letter say?" Sui Han asked curiously when he saw his wife smiling.

"Shopkeeper Qian wanted to see me and said he had something important to discuss with me," Gu Qingyuan said.

When Suihan heard this, he frowned subconsciously: "It can't be a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken! Madam, please don't go!"

"Go! Why don't you go?" Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly and said, "I want to see if there is anything this shopkeeper Qian must let me know."

"But the injuries on your body..." Suihan frowned, Madam's injuries haven't healed yet, she can't withstand the bumps!

"It doesn't matter. It will be the same if the carriage bed is softer." Suihan, I'll leave this matter to you.

Soon, Suihan made arrangements for his outing. Before leaving the Duke's Mansion, Gu Qingyuan asked about the situation at Chen's place.

"Madam, things have changed over there. If you are interested, you can take a look." At this point, Suihan lowered his voice: "Everyone has gone to watch the fun now. The prince is crying and making trouble there. He was hanged and beaten by the Duke of the State."

When Gu Qingyuan heard this, a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth.

Don't tell me, this Li Shichen really deserves it!

Thinking about it this way, it might not be a bad idea to let the Duke know. At least Li Shichen could get a beating.

Ji Wenyue has been haunted since she left Gu Qingyuan. To be honest, the look on Gu Qingyuan's face when he said those words to her made her feel very guilty.

People told her this because they trusted her, but she...

At this moment, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone.

She subconsciously looked over and saw Chuntao looking at her with a sad face.

Their eyes met, Ji Wenyue frowned: "What are you going to do?"

She had an impression of Chuntao. She was the one who was aggressive towards Gu Qingyuan in the first place.

"Mrs. Wen, please save the prince! The prince is going to be beaten to death by the Duke!" Chuntao said, kneeling in front of Ji Wenyue.

Ji Wenyue saw this and frowned subconsciously: "I'm just an embroiderer, what does this matter have to do with me?"

"Mrs. Wen, stop pretending! I know your identity!" Chuntao said here and suddenly whispered: "Don't you want to know where your child has gone?"

"My child..." Ji Wenyue frowned: "My child has died a long time ago. What nonsense are you talking about here!"

"Is he really dead?" Chuntao looked at Ji Wenyue with a bitter smile on his lips: "Yes, if you don't care, then he is really going to die."
