Nowhere to Be Found

Because she was too straightforward, she couldn't bear to see Xu Weibei kept in the dark.

When she arrived, she found her third brother standing at the door and her Third Concubine inside, the two of them talking.

"Sister, the Marquis has left," said the Third Concubine.

"Gone, gone?" Gu Wanning was momentarily shocked.

That's not what she meant.

Surely he wouldn't have been sent to his death by that little bit of dirty medicine.

Xu Weibei, a man of great renown, ultimately died from poisoning at his father-in-law's house...

"She went back to the manor without him," Gu Anfang said in a muffled voice. "I wanted to take her back, but she wanted to wait for you to return. How is Wanqing? Have you found out? It must be that the Prince bullied her. I know her..."

"My older brother went to keep her company."

"Then I'll go take a look too."

"Wait, wait..."

Gu Anfang didn't wait, and took off running, his ears red.

Gu Wanning: "What's wrong with him?"

"It's nothing," the Third Concubine said, bowing her head.

Gu Anfang broke down when he saw the blankets on the bed...

He was asking his Third Concubine who had rummaged through his kang cabinet.

Before the Third Concubine could figure out what to say, Gu Wanning arrived.

Thank goodness.

Third Concubine was no longer able to look Gu Anfang in the eye.

I initially thought she was a maggot crawling in the shadows, but then I discovered there was another maggot among her kind?

Awkward.

Fortunately, Gu Anfang hasn't realized that she's the same way yet, and still sees her as a good person.

Gu Wanning didn't pay much attention to Gu Anfang and continued to ask, "Where is the Marquis?"

"The Marquis knows the truth."

"Huh? How did you know?" Gu Wanning was taken aback.

She was still hesitating, wondering how to protect Xu Weibei's fragile little heart, and then she just directly told him?

"It was this servant who said it; the Marquis used threats and inducements against me..."

"He... he scared you? How did he scare you?" Gu Wanning asked anxiously. "Are you alright?"

"It's nothing, it's just that the Marquis gave too much."

Gu Wanning: "... What did I give you? Give me half!"

The Third Concubine then recounted the whole story.

Gu Wanning: Holy crap, I never expected Xu Weibei to have such a domineering CEO side?

She often felt a sense of unreality; the decisive and ruthless war god outside, destined to be remembered for eternity, and the stupid and clueless man in front of her, who often drove her crazy, seemed like two different people.

As a result, their character settings overlap now...

"Do you really want to go to the Imperial Medical Academy?"

"I want to go. I really want to prove myself. I don't need to marry well to prove myself, but I want to prove myself through my own efforts," said the Third Concubine.

"You're so capable!" Gu Wanning patted her shoulder. "It's alright, you've solved a big problem for me. I was originally hesitant about whether to tell him or how to tell him, but now I don't have to think about it anymore."

Go crazy!

"I'll go back and check. If there's any new information, I'll have someone pass it on to you."

"Alright." Gu Wanning sighed, "For the Marquis, this is probably the darkest moment of his life, aside from the death of his parents."

Men care a lot about this.

This kind of "failure" cannot be compensated for by any number of great achievements.

Although Gu Wanning felt that it was nothing really.

"This servant has been wondering what happened, why the Marquis is acting this way..."

His illness piqued her interest.

Third Concubine is now desperately trying to study this case.

Gu Wanning rested her chin on her hand and leaned against the table. "Take your time to think about it. When Third Brother comes back, I'll have him take you back to your residence first..."

"No, no need, Third Master, you don't need to send me."

"It's alright, let him deliver it. He's the only one with free time."

The Third Concubine blushed, but didn't know how to refuse.

Fortunately, Gu Wanning was lost in thought and didn't notice anything unusual about her.

Third Concubine simply couldn't imagine what it would be like for her to be alone with Gu Anfang.

If Gu Anfang asks about that matter, should she say she's seen it or not?

The Third Concubine is already starting to feel awkward.

"Oh no!" Gu Wanning suddenly jumped up from her chair. "Oh no! I completely forgot about this important matter!"

Chapter 200 Unsuccessful Search

"Sister, what have you forgotten?"

Third Concubine was startled by Gu Wanning's startled reaction.

To be honest, too much has happened today, Third Concubine is overwhelmed. Her mind is already a bit muddled.

"When the Marquis learned the truth, what was his first reaction?"

"What is it?" Third Concubine asked, bewildered.

"Of course we should settle scores with Linglong! And Jiaoniang too, she's in danger."

Xu Weibei is bound to be furious right now, and in his rage, won't he need to find someone to vent his anger on?

"Let's go, let's go to the Marquis's Residence first and talk to the First Concubine... No, I'll go, you go find Qin Lie..."

As for Linglong, since Gao Lan is with Xu Weibei, Gao Lan will stop her if anything happens.

Therefore, protecting Jiaoniang has become the top priority at this moment.

Xu Weibei's madness couldn't be stopped; Qin Lie needed to help.

Qin Lie will definitely protect Jiaoniang out of respect for his First Concubine.

And so, Gu Wanning stopped caring about how the Gu family handled Gu Xiaoxiao's matter and hurriedly went to the Marquis's Residence.

As a result, Xu Weibei did not return to his residence.

Where did that guy go after he got so upset?

The First Concubine was pleasantly surprised to see Gu Wanning and asked her, "Have you reconciled with the Marquis?"

Gu Wanning: "... No."

"That doesn't make sense. If you haven't reconciled, why would you be willing to enter the Marquis's Marquis's Residence?" The Second Concubine looked incredulous, her gaze probing, as if trying to see through Gu Wanning's thoughts.

Fourth Concubine said, "You didn't get into trouble, did you, and you're hiding here?"

"Do you think I'm like you, always causing trouble?"

"I haven't caused any trouble lately," Fourth Concubine retorted, unconvinced.
