C145 He Crossed Thousands of Mountains and Rivers to Protect You!

“Did you write down the number three and seven? Go and invite these lords here. I want to ask them where did they get these priceless things?”

San Qin jumped up from outside the wall and said, “I remember it clearly. I will get someone to go now.”

Gu Jun An came down from the high wall and Lan Qing Qian went over, “Old Marquis, why are you here?”

“Someone sent me some pastries. I wanted to give you some to eat since you have less to eat.” Gu Jun An passed her a box.

Gu Jun An walked over and glanced at the things on the ground. He said to Jin Wan Wan, “Are you the daughter of Lord Jin?”

“Yes, yes.” Jin Wan Wan was a bit scared and took a step back. She couldn’t move away from his face.

Gu Jun An was the most handsome young master among the younger generation. In terms of looks, not to mention men, not many women could be compared to him. Jin Wan Wan had only heard about him before. It was the first time she saw him.

“Is this worth stealing? Are you looking down on the Gu family or the Seventh Prince? Does the Gu family need to steal this crappy thing from me?”

Jin Wan Wan’s face turned pale, “Your Highness, what do you mean?”

“You mean that thing of yours is dirty and not worth her stealing.”

He glanced at the people present, “What do you think is wrong with her? Come and tell me!” He glanced at the students, “And you, if she stole something from you, you just need to report it to me. I will return it to her a thousand times over!”

Nobody dared to say anything. They were all people who had grown up in the Imperial City. They knew who they should mess with and who they shouldn’t mess with.

Han Mianmian pulled a servant girl over and said, “Didn’t you two say that Ninth Highness bullied you? Come out and say it. When you were complaining, you were so dumb.”

She pointed at a girl in purple and said, “Su Zi, didn’t you say that she intentionally burned you with tea? Now this servant girl is here. Let her tell you what happened.”

The servant girl bowed to Gu Jun’an and Lan Qingqian and said, “I did burn myself on that day. Ninth Highness came to ask me for tea, but I was in a hurry and I accidentally burned myself. Ninth Highness, please take it from me.”

Su Zi paused. She was just framing Han Mianmian, but she didn’t expect Han Mianmian to really look for her.

“Who knows if she didn’t dare to say it and insisted that she did burn herself. Puff…” As soon as she finished speaking, a bowl of cold tea was poured on her face.

Gu Jun’an put on a fake smile and said, “Did you make this tea yourself or did I pour it?”

Su Zi wiped her face and was about to say something.

Gu Jun’an said, “If you say that you made this tea to fool people and lie to them, I won’t do anything to you if I did it. I don’t mind killing the Su family. I want them to see if I can make you change your words!”

Su Zi was only about eleven or twelve years old, how could she have the guts to say anything? Her lips were trembling in fear, and she didn’t dare to speak.

“Who else wants to say something?” After asking everyone present, not a single one of them dared to speak.

Su Zi dragged Lan Qingqian to the dean and told him about what happened. Then, she brought her back.

On the way, Lan Qingqian lowered her head and ate the pastries. She kept her head down and stuffed things into her veil.

“Why, are you upset? Don’t worry, I will make you angry. I will make you pay back a thousand times over. Those who bully you, I will not let them off!” Gu Jun’an touched her head, thinking that she was upset.

Lan Qingqian raised her eyes and puffed her cheeks as she shook her head. She was full of pastries. “These pastries are delicious. I want more tomorrow.”

“When we get back, I will take a look. If you have improved, I will buy you more from Star Restaurant!”

Lan Qingqian nodded. “I won’t be sad with these people. They just want to make me sad. I won’t let them get away with it.” She sounded stubborn.

“Then, don’t you want to have a lot of people play with you in the academy?”

“I do in Canglan. I also hope that many people like me and be friends with me, but they only like me when my father is around.”

“I came to the academy as well. They don’t like me. It doesn’t matter. I have friends too. Han Meimei is my friend. Hmph, and Prince Gu. They are all my friends. Although there are not many…”

Gu Jun’an patted her head and said, “Although not everyone in the world likes you, there will be people who will work hard for you and risk their lives to protect you.”

He didn’t say it out loud, but he still remembered all the names she mentioned. He would ask Butler Jiang to find out how her friends behaved when he got back.

He didn’t want her to repeat the Red Jade incident. He was happy to make friends with her, but she treated him as a stepping stone.

In the evening, some of her parents and brothers came to apologize.

“Your Highness, my son is muddleheaded. He was just imagining things. The Zheng Family doesn’t have any big night pearls! He shouldn’t have said such things. I have taught him a lesson.” Master Zheng said with a flattering smile.

“Yes, my family doesn’t have any precious ancient books. Please forgive him.”

Gu Jun’an held the teacup and smiled. “I remember that the Zheng Family doesn’t have any big night pearls, but they have a lot of money. They can make thousands of taels of silver in one night.

“And Master Li’s wife is so rich. You have to check it out. Please go back.”

Gu Jun’an didn’t want to talk to them. He asked someone to kick them out.

It was a cold night, and the wind was blowing. It was destined to be an ordinary night.

Gu Jun’an put on a robe and sat at the door. He watched the Yuan Family’s house being seized. The dozens of people in the house were captured. Yuan Luo was standing at the door, watching the people inside and counting the things they took out.

“Your Highness, when we pried open the wall and the floor of the courtyard, we found some gold and silver. We counted five or six boxes.”

“It seems that Master Yuan is really the assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance. He has a lot of money!” He waved his hand and said, “Send Master Yuan to the palace and count the money with His Majesty. His Majesty will probably not be able to sleep tonight.”

The news of Yuan Lu’s house being raided spread like wildfire. The other families who had offended the Seventh Prince could not sit still anymore.

In this day and age, there were many families that had deep connections. Only a few families were innocent.

San Qi was a bit worried. “Your Highness, we have given them a strong medicine. His Majesty will definitely be suspicious of us.” The evidence was sent too quickly. In an instant, the dozens of years of the Yuan Family’s activities were clearly listed.

Even the blind knew that it was someone who had collected it beforehand. They wanted to destroy the Yuan Family, so they suddenly made a move. His Majesty had originally treated Gu Jun’an as a chess piece. If this chess piece was suddenly out of control, it would definitely cause His Majesty’s suspicion.

“This king wants them to know that if they touch the people of the Seventh Prince, their entire families will pay! As for His Majesty, do you think he is really guilty?”
