Princess, she is the one who facilitated the extradition.

Gui Yao felt that the capital city was very small.

The visitors were Imperial Censor Chen, who had been promoted due to Yang Bokang's downfall, and his wife and daughters.

The employer was Chen Can, the daughter of Imperial Censor Chen.

Therefore, Imperial Censor Chen and his wife could not enter Xuanji Tower, and they were also worried about Chen Can going with Gui Yao alone.

Gui Yao then went to the carriage with them to talk, and at that moment, she once again felt that Xiao Huaijin was very considerate.

Once his restaurant is repaired, she will have a place to entertain guests.

She understood even better why Xiao Huaijin hadn't sent her to the Chen family, but instead had the Chen family come to her.

Rushing things won't make a sale.

Little did anyone know how much effort he put into it behind the scenes.

"Miss Guiyao, Prince Jin said you can cure my daughter."

After everyone was seated in the carriage, Madam Chen began to speak.

Gui Yao looked at Chen Can, who was holding Madam Chen's hand tightly, without saying a word or even looking up at anyone.

He asked, "What is the current situation, Miss Chen?"

Xiao Huaijin discovered that Chen Can had been abducted by the mountain god two years ago.

Mrs. Chen rested her daughter's head on her shoulder, covered her ears with her hands, and whispered, "Since that incident, she hasn't gone out or spoken."

Gui Yao used her spiritual power to examine Chen Can's body and found no problems; her issue lay in her mind.

She nodded. "I can give it a try."

Xiao Huaijin said that when they first investigated the Chen family, the Imperial Censor and his wife did not admit to the matter and did not believe in Xuanji Tower.

Today, Chen Can took the initiative to come to Xuanji Tower, and right now, Chen Can is surrounded by the power of his vows.

She has a request.

As long as she speaks, Gui Yao has a way to untangle her knot in her heart.

Imperial Censor Chen glanced at his daughter, then lowered his voice and asked Gui Yao, "Who was that person?"

Two years ago, my daughter took her maid out of the city to play and was kidnapped. When she returned, she had lost her innocence.

He pressed her for details, but his daughter only uttered the words "mountain god" and refused to speak further.

Because it only contained those two words, he still hasn't found out who harmed his daughter.

When Xiao Huaijin came to them, saying that Xuanji Tower had clues about the Mountain God and could help them, he was very curious to know.

But seeing his daughter like that, he was afraid that if the news got out, she would be further traumatized, so he could only deny it.

But she told her daughter that Xiao Huaijin had come to visit, hoping that her daughter could tell her parents something.

But the daughter remained silent.

Unexpectedly, her daughter spoke up again, saying she wanted to come to Xuanji Tower.

Now that he has finally met the Xuanji Tower Master that Xiao Huaijin mentioned, he has been itching to ask him questions.

Although he didn't see the Xuanji Tower here.

Gui Yao met his eager gaze, but looked at Chen Can instead, "The Gu family, Gu Nansheng."

Chen Can's body trembled.

"What?"

Imperial Censor Chen exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't Gu Nansheng an idiot?"

He quickly turned to anger, "How dare he bully my daughter! I'll kill him!"

He was also an impatient person; before he had even finished speaking, he was about to jump off the carriage.

Mrs. Chen quickly grabbed him, "Old Chen."

She gave him a look that signaled him to consider his daughter.

Imperial Censor Chen looked at his daughter nestled in his wife's arms, rubbed his face haphazardly with both hands, and squatted down in front of his daughter.

"Can'er, your father got promoted, you know that, right?"

Chen Can didn't react. He continued, "This means we don't need to be afraid of many people. Besides, almost all the men in the Gu family are dead. Only the old princess is left, so she's nothing to fear."

Tell your father the truth, was it that beast who bullied you? Your father will definitely help you get justice.

Chen Can remained silent.

He could tolerate it before because he didn't know who it was, but now that he knows who it is, Imperial Censor Chen can't stand it anymore.

"You don't have to say anything, but rumors are circulating that the Gu family mother and son have violated human ethics. Then I, as the imperial censor, will certainly make this immoral mother and son pay a heavy price..."

"father!"

Chen Can finally spoke, his eyelashes slowly lifting as he looked at Imperial Censor Chen.

"Why!"

Imperial Censor Chen's eyes immediately welled up with tears; his daughter hadn't called him that in two years.

He wanted to talk to Chen Can, but then he saw Chen Can's eyes slowly shift to Gui Yao.

"Can you help me?"

Gui Yao countered, "Did you see the Xuanji Tower just now?"

Chen Can nodded.

"The Xuanji Tower can only be visited by those destined to meet."

Gui Yao said, "For those with affinity, Xuanji Tower will grant all requests. What do you wish to ask for?"

Chen Can got up from his mother's arms and said, word by word, "Save Madam Gu."

"Can'er?"

"Are you crazy?"

The Chen couple spoke in unison.

Gui Yao understood that Chen Can must have heard the rumors outside, which was why he came to her.

She asked, "Have you thought it through?"

"Save her."

Chen Can reiterated this point.

Gui Yao nodded, meeting her gaze. "Alright, Xuanji Tower never rejects those who are destined to be together. I will grant your wish."

"How come it turned out just as she wanted?"

Imperial Censor Chen objected, "Can'er, that's an enemy."

But his objections were ineffective. Chen Can remained steadfast, and Gui Yao's clear black and white eyes gradually turned pitch black as the power of Chen Can's will slowly flow into her body.

The deal is done!

The Chen couple were startled by Gui Yao's eyes. Imperial Censor Chen quickly stepped in front of his daughter, asking, "What have you done to my Can'er?"

Despite his anger, his daughter was still his precious darling.

Gui Yao said gently, "I'm helping her resolve her inner conflict."

"really?"

Imperial Censor Chen was very suspicious. He glanced at Xiao Huaijin, who was keeping watch for them outside the carriage, and then at his daughter.

He always felt that Gui Yao was very strange, and he didn't quite believe it.

He couldn't understand why his daughter would save a morally corrupt woman like Madam Gu.

Gui Yao knew he was worried about his daughter and didn't care about his doubts. She reached out and held Chen Can's hand.

Chen Can was not used to being treated like this by outsiders, so he lowered his head and curled up in his mother's arms again.

Gui Yao slowly spoke, "It was Madam Gu who saved you, wasn't it?"

Chen Can suddenly looked up, seemingly shocked that she knew.

Madam Chen also looked at Gui Yao, wondering what he meant.

Gui Yao said, "She saved not only you, but also me. Right now, there is a girl in Xuanji Tower who, like you, hopes that Madam Gu can be saved."

Chen Can turned his head to look in the direction of Xuanji Tower, and only saw a two-story building.

Gui Yao continued, "That girl was sold to the mountain god by her parents. At first, she hated Madam Gu, but today she said she was willing to protect her with her life."

She held Chen Can's hand. "You hate her, but you're also grateful to her, so you haven't said anything for the past two years, right?"

Chen Can's hands began to tremble, and the trembling became more and more severe.

Gui Yao leaned forward and hugged her. "You're a kind girl, that's why you torture yourself."

She also had her kindness; she sacrificed herself to save you all. Good people should live well. Don't worry, she'll be alright.

Chen Can burst into tears.

She had suppressed this cry for a long time.

She hated the man who hurt her, and she also hated Madam Gu, who gave birth to that devil.

But when she was in despair, it was Madam Gu who took her place. She curled up in the corner and watched as Madam Gu was tormented by the man until her eyes were filled with despair.

Seeing that Madam Gu was on her deathbed still clinging to the man, demanding that he promise to let her go, she finally fainted completely.

When she was released by the devil and returned to her parents' embrace, she could never forget the despair in Madam Gu's eyes.

She found redemption, but Madam Gu never found redemption, neither physically nor psychologically.

Therefore, she did not tell her parents the truth, using her silence to maintain the last shred of dignity for Madam Gu.

But the truth eventually came out, and Madam Gu became a pariah.

She didn't want to get involved; she didn't reveal the truth, and she didn't seek revenge on her son, which was already repaying the kindness of being saved back then.

But her heart couldn't do it. She couldn't bear to watch her die, she couldn't bear to see the world misunderstand her.

Imperial Censor Chen's eyes widened.

Is that what he meant?

Did Madam Gu compromise herself with her own son to save his daughter?

He found it absurd and looked at his wife, seeking an answer, only to find her covering her mouth, also looking shocked.

Suddenly, Imperial Censor Chen understood his daughter.

"It's alright, it will all pass."

Gui Yao patted Chen Can's back gently, and after she had cried for a while, she said, "There's something I have to tell you. That person isn't the real Gu Nansheng."

"So now is not the time to cry. We need to find the real Gu Nansheng and clear Madam Gu's name. Do you have any leads?"

Chen Can's crying gradually subsided, and he said in a hoarse voice, "That person said something that seems rather strange now that I think about it."
