After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Ruyi and Duobao helped Gu Jin pack his luggage. Gu Jin sat at the table looking a little uneasy.

Ru Yizhan whispered: "Don't worry, Madam. Our Marquis has been through hundreds of battles. He is not afraid of a mere assassin."

Gu Jin came back to his senses, a little dazed.

Is she worried about Lord Xie?

How can it be!

She had never even met Lord Xie, and besides, she was an absolute egoist, so it was impossible for her to bother about a stranger.

At most, she was just worried that something might happen to Lord Xie and that it would affect her current life. "Just pack a few clothes. Ruyi, you follow me, and Duobao stay."

Now that something unexpected has happened in the Marquis' Mansion, she doesn't know whether this trip will go smoothly. It would be better for her to leave Duobao, the hidden danger, at home.

Duobao thought about it and didn't object.

Since the Third Young Master is not going to pray for blessings anyway, it would be better for him to stay in the mansion safely and comfortably.

All the female members of the mansion except Mrs. Huo and the concubines went out, even Xie Miaoyin, who had been avoiding the mansion, went with them.

She didn't want to see anyone, but was scolded by Aunt Xu and came.

Aunt Xu is a concubine and cannot go out at will. If Xie Miaoyin does not go after such a big thing happened to Marquis Xie, it will only give people something to talk about.

Su, Gu Rou, Gu Jin and Xie Miaoyin were sitting in a carriage. Su was absent-minded, rubbing the handkerchief in her hand, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Gu Rou was upset because Li had to pay 30,000 taels of silver as compensation, and Xie Miaoyin wanted to tear Gu Jin apart the moment she saw her. The four women in one car were so quiet that it made people drowsy.

As a result, Gu Jin really fell asleep and did not wake up until the carriage stopped.

"I was worried that elder sister would be unable to sleep or eat because of our father's matter, but now seeing elder sister talking so sweetly, I feel relieved." Gu Rou couldn't help but speak sarcastically as soon as she got out of the car.

Su was a simple person. After hearing this, she did not think much and just said, "We cannot interfere with what is happening outside. Just pray and do your best. Don't worry too much. It's not good to hurt your body."

Gu Jin nodded and said, "Okay, mother, we got it. You should also take care of yourself."

After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes and smiled at Gu Rou, "Second sister, you don't understand. If you suddenly got 30,000 taels of silver one day, you would definitely sleep soundly."

Gu Rou felt stabbed in the heart, her face turned cold and she was speechless.

Li had spent a lot of money to get her dowry, but it all went into Gu Jin's pocket. Now she had to pay Gu Jin 30,000 taels of silver, which was adding insult to injury.

Gu Jin actually admired Gu Rou very much. She always made him look livid every time he argued with her, but the next time she would still come forward without forgetting the beating.

Could it be the legendary M physique?

Gu Jin helped Su into the Wanfo Temple. Since the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion was a big visitor to the Temple, as soon as they arrived, they were led by the monks to the guest house which had already been prepared.

"Donors, please take a rest first, and then go to the main hall to listen to the abbot chanting after dinner."

The vegetarian food at Wanfo Temple was light and simple. Gu Jin didn't have much appetite. He ate a few bites and put down his bowl and chopsticks. "Mom, I want to go out for a walk."

Su agreed without thinking, "Ruyi has never been to Wanfo Temple, I will let Lianzhi accompany you."

"No need, mother. Let Lianzhi stay and take care of you. I won't go far and will just walk around nearby."

Gu Jin has a habit of finding out the geographical location of a new place every time he arrives, so that he can avoid disaster in time if any accident occurs.

There are too many unexpected things in life, so it is always good to plan and prepare early.

Gu Jin walked aimlessly, and Ruyi followed behind him in small steps.

Her steps were not as big as Gu Jin's, and her physical strength was not as good as Gu Jin's. Her legs became heavier and heavier as she walked, and she accidentally tripped over the bluestone road. Fortunately, Gu Jin was quick to pull her up.

Looking up at the darkening sky, Gu Jin said, "It's getting darker, you should go back first."

"How can this be possible? I have to stay with the young mistress all the time!" Ruyi shook her head and refused without thinking.

Gu Jin smiled, raised his hand and tapped her forehead, "Then go back and get a lantern first, so that we won't fall on the way back."

"Oh, I am so careless. Why didn't I think about the lantern?" When Ruyi heard this, she obediently ran back to get the lantern.

After Ruyi left, Gu Jin's mouth corners suddenly dropped, and he looked around with a look full of vigilance.

She smelled blood in the air.

She is a doctor and has been on the battlefield for a long time, so she is particularly sensitive to the smell of blood.

In the pure land of Buddhism, no one would kill or slaughter animals, so the smell of blood must be strange.

Gu Jin groped his way forward following the smell of blood and found bright red bloodstains on the weeds in front of a bamboo forest.

The night was dark, and the dense bamboo forest no longer had the elegance it had during the day, but instead exuded a sinister and dangerous vibe.

Gu Jin stopped in front of the bamboo forest. Based on her reason and experience, her best choice now was to turn around and leave.

But she seemed to have thought of something and resolutely walked into the depths of the bamboo forest.

As Gu Jin went deeper, the smell of blood became stronger and stronger. Deep in the bamboo forest, there was a dilapidated house. The doors and windows were all damaged and the house was covered with spider webs. It was obvious that it had been abandoned for a long time.

Gu Jin walked into the room cautiously and looked around, when he suddenly saw a corner of clothes visible behind the screen.

She walked over and saw an old man with messy beard and pale face, his eyes closed, and it was unclear whether he was alive or dead.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "Tsk," with a tone that seemed to carry a hint of disappointment, "Why are you so old?"

Old man: “?”
