Chapter 60 An angry man is hard to appease.
Song Ruyan's face darkened, her eyes revealing an unprecedented seriousness.
She quietly released Chu Yueshu's hand and said in a low voice, "These people are all very skilled, their martial arts are no less than mine. I can't protect you. Find a chance to run away quickly, the farther the better, and whatever you do, don't look back."
Chu Ruohan's heart skipped a beat. Song Ruyan had always been arrogant and disdainful of everyone, especially when it came to martial arts.
She must have absolutely no confidence to say that...
Chu Ruohan's heart sank, and she gripped Chu Yueshu's hand even tighter, her palms already covered in cold sweat.
"Greetings, Lady Crown Prince."
The group of people placed their right fists on their left chests and performed a standard salute to Chu Ruohan.
"Han'er".
Gu Junze's voice, accompanied by the creaking sound of his wheelchair rolling on the ground, came over.
Ying Qing pushed Gu Junze and slowly walked out from behind the shadow guard.
His gaze swept quickly across the room, and only when he saw that Chu Ruohan was safe and sound did his tense heart relax a little.
This Song Ruyan is incredibly bold; she and her companion dared to come to Wei Qiming's villa all by themselves.
But she only listens to Chu Ruohan.
Gu Junze was also a little angry. She didn't trust him at all and insisted on taking the risk herself.
Seeing Gu Junze arrive, Chu Ruohan finally felt relieved.
These mysterious figures must be the Shadow Guards.
“Send these people back to the Duke of Wei’s mansion, and burn this courtyard down.”
With a cold expression, Gu Junze said this and then nodded slightly to Ying Qing, signaling her to push the wheelchair away.
Chu Ruohan helped Chu Yueshu along awkwardly, knowing in her heart that he must be angry.
Inside the carriage, Gu Junze's face was gloomy, and he did not utter a single word from beginning to end.
The atmosphere inside the car was oppressive, so stifling that it was hard to breathe.
Chu Yueshu secretly glanced at Gu Junze's icy face, then looked at Chu Ruohan, who was bowing her head and remaining silent.
My brother-in-law is really angry.
She pursed her lips, not daring to utter a single word, and sat quietly in the corner, barely daring to breathe, for fear that she might accidentally get herself into trouble.
My brother-in-law is usually so gentle and mild-mannered, why did he get angry?
It wasn't her who provoked Wei Qiming; he was clearly that beast...
Chu Yueshu had no idea that Gu Junze's actions were because of her!
Chu Ruohan naturally understood Gu Junze's thoughts. It wasn't that she didn't trust him, but her past experiences had built a wall around her heart...
After hesitating for a while, Chu Ruohan slowly approached Gu Junze and gently tugged at his sleeve with her small hand.
"It was my fault today. I shouldn't have acted so rashly and made you worry. Please don't be angry with me anymore, okay?"
The woman's voice was soft and melodious, with a hint of cautious flattery.
Although Gu Junze stared straight ahead expressionlessly, his slightly trembling eyelashes betrayed a hint of inner turmoil.
He didn't really want to be angry with Chu Ruohan, but when he thought about the danger she might face, he was filled with fear and couldn't help but put on this cold face.
Ultimately, it was because he lacked the ability to do so, and he could only rely on a wheelchair every day, which made her feel insecure and unwilling to depend on him.
If he could act like an ordinary person, he would definitely be able to protect her under his wings.
Why hasn't Dr. Qian's antidote been developed yet?
Seeing his brows furrow even deeper, Chu Ruohan felt even more uneasy.
"I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time!" After saying that, she gently shook Gu Junze's arm.
Gu Junze finally couldn't hold back any longer. The cold expression on his face gradually faded, and he sighed helplessly before turning his head away.
He reached out and gently took Chu Ruohan's hand. His tone was still cold, but it had softened a bit: "I'm not blaming you, I'm just worried about your safety."
Feeling the warmth from his palm, Chu Ruohan nodded slightly. "I understand. I won't act on my own again."
The oppressive and stifling atmosphere inside the car dissipated.
At this moment, chaos erupted at the Chu family banquet.
There was a "pop" sound.
The teacup in Chu's mother's hand fell to the ground and shattered, her face instantly turning ashen.
"Wasn't Yue Shu with Han'er? How could she have been kidnapped?"
"Mother, don't worry, my elder sister and the young master have already gone to look for them." Chu Nanxin frowned, seemingly anxious, but a hint of smugness flashed in her eyes.
Chu's mother was already panicked and anxiously looked towards the men's section. Chu's father had already drunk quite a bit of wine, and Gu Chengyan had deliberately made him drink even more. He was now drunk and unconscious.
"This is how to do ah?"
This sudden turn of events silenced the entire scene, and the ladies of each family looked at each other in bewilderment.
"How could the second young lady of the Chu family be kidnapped at the banquet? What are the Chu family's guards doing?" a lady in fine clothes suddenly said.
"The second young lady of the Chu family is usually quite mischievous; she's probably off playing somewhere."
Seeing the murmurs around her, Aunt Fang stepped forward and said, "Madam, let's report this to the authorities! What if Yue Shu, who is so delicate and frail,..."
"Yes, yes, report it to the authorities."
Chu's mother seemed to have found her pillar of support, so we called the servants to report to the authorities.
Aunt Fang and Chu Nanxin exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with the satisfaction of their successful scheme.
After today, Chu Yueshu's reputation will be completely ruined.
Chu Ruohan wanted to suppress the matter and secretly rescue the person, but that was a pipe dream.
Chu Ruohan wronged her by making her a concubine, so she was determined to make Chu Yueshu taste the bitterness of having her reputation tarnished.
The servant hurriedly ran out to report to the authorities, but unexpectedly bumped into a group of people returning home.
"Young Miss, Second Young Miss." The servant's voice carried a hint of surprise.
Chu's mother practically pounced on her, "Yue Shu, let your mother see if you're hurt anywhere!"
Her hands kept groping Chu Yueshu's body, her eyes filled with worry.
"Yes, Second Sister, you've been kidnapped. Mother is terribly worried," Chu Nanxin said, but her eyes gleamed with malice.
"Who said I was kidnapped?" Chu Yueshu's words stunned everyone.
"I just went to buy chestnut cakes for my older sister." Her voice was clear and crisp, her eyes were calm and composed, without a trace of panic.
All eyes immediately fell on Chu Nanxin, who had just run over to say that the second young lady of the Chu family had been kidnapped by thieves.
Chu Nanxin's eyes flickered. "Then why did my elder sister and the prince come looking for you?" she pressed on, unwilling to give up.
"I drank too much at the banquet earlier, so Han'er accompanied me out to clear my head. We bumped into each other and came back together," Gu Junze said calmly and unhurriedly.
Fortunately, Chu Ruohan was very thoughtful and had the driver take a detour to buy chestnut cake, which perfectly covered up the lie.
Then, Chu Yueshu helped her mother walk inside.
As Chu Yueshu passed by Chu Nanxin, anger flashed in her eyes. She clearly wanted to ruin Chu Nanxin's reputation. Was this still the gentle and considerate little sister?
How did she become so bad after getting married?
Chu Nanxin was secretly annoyed that she had been so easily fooled.
Turning around, she met Chu Ruohan's gaze, which was as cold as winter ice, and couldn't help but shiver.
