Chapter 873: The Duke of Zhenguo invites you

Guo Pinchuan naturally had no idea what Gu Chan was thinking.

Seeing her face so ugly, he comforted her, "I know you are worried about your brother, but regarding the red spider lily, this is the fact, and I can't change it. When you go back, have a good talk with him and let him make his own decision."

"Thank you, President Guo, for telling me the truth. I will explain it to my brother when I get back." Gu Chan came back to her senses and said politely.

"Then let's talk about your brother and Yu'er now!" Guo Pinchuan returned to the topic.

Gu Chan nodded woodenly.

Anyway, she didn't want to have any emotional entanglement with Guo Yu. Now that getting the red spider lily spiritual herb has become a hellish task, she naturally felt a little desperate.

Guo Pinchuan said very seriously, "I discussed it with Yu'er's mother last night. Since Yu'er likes your brother so much, can you help us persuade your brother to divorce his three wives?"

"President Guo! I'm telling you the truth because I treat you as my senior brother. Do you think a man who abandons his three wives just because he's favored by a better woman is a good man? Would you be willing to hand over your daughter's lifelong happiness to such a man?" Gu Chan said with a sneer.

"This..." Guo Pinchuan was choked so much that he couldn't even fart.

Gu Chan added, "If my brother is really this kind of person, he would definitely divorce his three wives and marry into the powerful and wealthy Guo family. But if he meets a woman with a higher status than Miss Guo in the future, would he also divorce Miss Guo and turn to her arms?"

"Okay, you don't have to say anything, I understand." Guo Pinchuan waved his hand and said.

"You three can discuss this slowly. I'm going back now." Gu Chan stood up and said.

After saying that, she clasped her fists and bowed, then turned and walked out.

Guo Pinchuan sat there, watching Gu Chan's departing back and thinking secretly, he thought that what she just said did make sense!
Outside Guo’s house.

Gu Chan walked out of the gate and was about to get on the carriage to return to the inn when a powerful guard dressed in black suddenly stepped forward and stopped her and said, "Miss Gu, right?"

"Who are you?" Gu Chan puzzled.

"I am a guard of the Duke's Mansion. I am here on the orders of my Lord the Duke to invite you to the Mansion." The guard said coldly.

Gu Chan crossed her arms and said, "I don't think it's the Duke who wants to invite me, but your eldest young master, right?"

"Miss, you are wrong. It is really our Duke who wants to invite you." said the guard.

"What? You want to use me to deal with my brother and stand up for his son?" Gu Chan said with a sneer.

"I don't know about that. Only if you go and see it yourself will you know." The guard said coldly.

Gu Chan said disdainfully, "What if I say I don't want to go?"

"If you don't go, your cousin and his wife's Yuanyang Tower will probably have to be closed today." The guard threatened.

Gu Chan's face suddenly became extremely stiff, and her fists were clenched tightly.

She hates being threatened the most, especially when it's such an open threat.

The guard said in a deep voice, "Miss, please don't embarrass me. I am only here to pass on a message. And you certainly don't want your cousin and his wife's business to be affected because of you, right? I hope you can think it over carefully before answering me."

"Okay, okay, he is indeed the Duke of Diyue Country! He is so powerful that I can't do anything to him. Let's go! I want to see what he wants to do to a little girl." Gu Chan said, suppressing her anger. "Then please follow me to the carriage parked over there!" the guard waved his hand.

Gu Chan said no more and walked towards the black carriage parked over there with a gloomy face.

Afterwards, she got on the carriage and went to the Duke's Mansion with the guards.

Upon seeing this, the guard outside the Guo Mansion hurried into the study and reported the matter to Guo Pinchuan.

When Guo Pinchuan learned about this, he immediately ordered, "Quick, go and call the lady to the study and tell her that I have something urgent to discuss with her."

"Yes, sir." The guard said respectfully.

Then he quickly left the study and went to the backyard to report to Qian.

After a while, Qian came to the study and asked as soon as she sat down, "What's the matter so urgent?"

"The guard just reported that our junior sister had just left our house when she was taken away by the black-clad guards from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion." Guo Pinchuan said with a serious expression.

"Ah? How could this happen? Why would the Duke of Zhenguo look for her for no reason?" Qian said dumbfounded.

"You forgot that her brother helped Yu'er beat up that little beast Gao Lin in the teahouse that day!" Guo Pinchuan reminded.

Qian's face tightened and she said, "That's it. The Duke of Zhenguo is extremely protective of his people and treats Gao Lin like a treasure. If Junior Sister goes there, something bad will definitely happen! Then he will use Junior Sister to lure her brother over there. I'm afraid that the brother and sister will be in great trouble if they don't die."

"Yes! I am also worried that the Duke of Zhenguo will kill the two brothers and sisters." Guo Pinchuan said worriedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, before Qian could say anything, Guo Yu suddenly ran in from the study door.

Standing in front of the two of them, she said anxiously, "Dad, Mom, I just heard from the guards that Miss Pan'er was taken away by the guards sent by the Duke of Zhenguo, right?"

"Yeah!" Guo Pinchuan nodded.

"Dad, Mom, you must quickly find a way to save Miss Pan'er! The Duke of Zhenguo must be angry with her because of the last time Master Xu beat Gao Lin. If she goes to the Duke's Mansion and can't get out, Master Xu will definitely go to save her. Wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?" Guo Yu said in a crying voice.

The thing she had been worrying about for a long time finally happened, which made her anxious.

Qian comforted her, "Don't worry, daughter. Your father and I are working on a solution."

"The Duke of Zhenguo and I have a bad relationship, and we also dislike each other in the court. The only solution now is to ask another expert to help control him." Guo Pinchuan said with his eyes narrowed.

"Dad, who should we ask for help?" Guo Yu asked.

"Looking at this huge Kyoto, there are only two people who can control him. The first is the Queen, and the second is Prince Leng. We can't invite the former, but we can try the latter. After all, Prince Leng and I have a good relationship in private." Guo Pinchuan said shrewdly.

Guo Yu urged, "Dad, go and invite Prince Leng! Don't wait any longer. If you are any later, Pan'er will be tortured to death by the Duke of Zhenguo."

"Okay, I'll rush to Prince Leng's mansion right away. You and your mother wait in the mansion and pretend you don't know about this. Don't get involved, or you'll get into trouble." Guo Pinchuan ordered.

The mother and daughter nodded in agreement.

Guo Pinchuan immediately got up and left, then took a sedan chair and quickly rushed to Prince Leng's mansion.
