The whole family died tragically? The eldest daughter is the most powerful in the capital after her

The next morning, Gu Nanyuan had a rare day off and was lying on the couch, soundly sleeping.

The sunlight outside the window shines into the house through the gauze, bringing warmth. It is a rare peaceful and stable day.

But at this moment, Qingji rushed in hurriedly, his face full of tension.

Gu Nanyuan frowned slightly. He was still a little tired after being woken up. He opened his eyes and looked at Qingji unhappily, with obvious dissatisfaction in his voice: "What's the matter? You come to disturb me on a day off. Is there something terrible going on in the mansion?"

Qingji bowed quickly and whispered, "Your Highness, I have no choice but to disturb you... The people from Jingzhao Yinfu came and said that the Third Madam was involved in a murder case. They were ordered to bring the Third Madam back to the government office."

Gu Nanyuan frowned even more upon hearing this, and said in a cold tone: "This Jingzhao Yin is really fearless. He actually dared to rashly come to arrest people. Does he think that my Gu family is easy to bully?"

As he said this, he turned over and planned to continue sleeping. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go tell the people of Jingzhao Yin not to bother me unless necessary. Go back and find out for yourself."

Seeing this, Qingji was sweating profusely and whispered, "My Lord, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to get rid of. I heard that the Lord is furious. If you don't go, I'm afraid the Lord will come to ask you personally."

Gu Nanyuan's face darkened slightly and he glanced at Qingji coldly, obviously not wanting to be disturbed again.

At this moment, Lin Ruoxuan pushed the door open gently and just heard Qingji's words.

She walked to Gu Nanyuan's side and whispered, "Nanyuan, after all, the Third Madam is involved in a murder case. This is a big deal. If it is not handled properly, it will affect the entire Gu family. You might as well go and take a look, so that everyone in the family won't be confused by this matter."

Seeing that her tone was gentle but firm, Gu Nanyuan's eyes softened slightly, he sighed, and finally nodded in compromise.

"Forget it," he gently held Lin Ruoxuan's hand, with a bit of helplessness in his tone, "Since my wife has spoken, I will go and see what happened."

Seeing that he agreed, Lin Ruoxuan smiled slightly and whispered, "It just so happens that I have an appointment with my elder sister today. When you are done with your work, come to the music club to find me."

Gu Nanyuan nodded, stretched out his hand to help her tidy up her hair, and his tone revealed some worry: "I will deal with this matter as soon as possible, and you have to be careful. Tingqu Club is crowded and noisy, I will arrange for a secret guard to accompany you when you go out. If there is anything wrong, be sure to let the secret guard report immediately."

Lin Ruoxuan smiled and nodded, looking at him softly, and said softly: "I will take good care of myself, don't worry."

Gu Nanyuan then felt a little relieved. He ordered the secret guards beside him to protect Lin Ruoxuan, and then turned and walked towards the third room.

Gu Nanyuan arrived at the third courtyard and glanced at the constables who were in a dilemma.

Although these people did not dare to refute the Third Lady's shouting and threats, helplessness was evident on their faces. Being sandwiched between the Gu Mansion and the Jingzhao Yin, they also suffered considerable pressure.

When the Third Madam saw Gu Nanyuan coming, she thought he would protect her, so she became even more unrestrained and shouted at the detectives in a haughty manner: "Why don't you ask around? I am one of the mistresses of the Gu family. How can you lowly people arrest me at will? Aren't you afraid that I will make you pay for it?"

The detectives' faces turned red after hearing her words. They dared not respond and didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Gu Nanyuan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, do you have any evidence that the Third Madam was involved in a murder case?"

The leading detective heard his question, raised his head slightly, and replied nervously: "Sir, we are also following orders. Jingzhao Yinfu has obtained witnesses and evidence to prove that the third wife was involved in the murder of a woman from the outer residence, so we had no choice but to come to Gu Mansion to pick up someone."

Gu Nanyuan was silent for a moment, and then he glanced at the Third Madam with sharp eyes and said coldly, "In this case, since this case is true, we will handle it according to the law. Take the Third Madam away and investigate it thoroughly first."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and the detectives looked at Gu Nanyuan in surprise, as if they couldn't believe that he would make such a decision.

The Third Madam's face suddenly changed. After being stunned for a moment, she shouted out of control: "Nanyuan! How could you do this? I am your Third Aunt! Aren't you afraid of bringing shame to the entire Gu family?!"

Gu Nanyuan's eyes were cold and unwavering. He said calmly, "If Third Aunt is innocent, someone will give you justice. If it is indeed related to a murder case, then Third Aunt has brought it upon herself. The Gu family is not an excuse to cover up a crime."

When the detectives heard Gu Nanyuan's statement, they instantly breathed a sigh of relief. They quickly stepped forward to hold down the third lady, carried her and were about to leave.

The third lady struggled and screamed, totally unable to believe that she was arrested in the Gu Mansion.

Seeing this, the Third Master's face turned pale. He hurriedly stepped forward to grab Gu Nanyuan, lowered his voice and angrily questioned, "Nanyuan! How could you watch your Third Aunt being taken away? Can't you ask the detectives to be flexible? Why do you have to be so ruthless?"

Gu Nanyuan's eyes were cold, without a trace of concession, and he said calmly: "Uncle, handling the matter impartially is the only way to protect the Gu family. If Aunt San is innocent, she will naturally receive a fair verdict. If she is really implicated, it cannot be covered up. I don't want to abuse my power, nor do I want the name of the Gu family to become a reason for others to covet protection."

The third master was speechless for a moment. Looking at Gu Nanyuan's unquestionable calm expression, he finally realized that this nephew could not be easily convinced.

His face changed constantly, and finally he let go of her hand dejectedly, watching the detectives taking the third lady away.

After that, Gu Nanyuan said no more and turned away.

The Duke of Zhenguo and his wife stood in the courtyard, watching him go away, with a hint of confusion on their faces.

The Duke of Zhenguo frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Nan Yuan's attitude today seems a little unusual. Even the people of the third house are unwilling to bother with it. Instead, they just act impartially. Could it be that he has long been dissatisfied with the third house?"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo nodded, a trace of uneasiness flashed in her eyes, and she whispered, "I noticed it too. Although he is always calm, he didn't help his third aunt at all. This is really unlike his character."

She paused, thinking about the recent series of incidents, and finally couldn't help but say, "Not long ago, the children of the third and sixth rooms were beaten and injured outside, which was one of the causes. And today it was involved in a murder case... Master, do you think these things were all done by Nan Yuan?"

Upon hearing this, the Duke of Zhenguo was shocked and his brows furrowed even deeper.

He pondered for a moment, recalling those coincidental events, and a trace of doubt gradually emerged in his eyes: "You mean, Nan Yuan deliberately did not lend a helping hand, and even punished the people from the third and sixth rooms behind the scenes? He is suppressing those who are not good for Ruoxuan step by step?"
