“Tong’er, what can you do if you go out?”
Gu Qingtong thought for a while: “I don’t know for now, but I know I can’t stay here idle. I wanted to find Shangheng, but it’s not that simple.”
Ji Chen looked at her steadily: “I can’t get out either.”
“Why?”
“I was forcibly taken from the Xie mansion by Yuqing-ge and brought here. He knows that if I were outside, I would definitely help you. Without my support, you can’t get out or do anything.”
Gu Qingtong didn’t expect Ji Chen to be confined as well. Shen Yuqing was so decisive and thorough, completely blocking her escape routes.
Gu Qingtong had no choice but to sit with Ji Chen, thinking.
Liang Luoxian indeed fell from grace, and with the commotion caused by Shen Yuqing and Yan Mang, and the Empress Dowager’s intention to seek revenge, she was likely to be completely ruined. However, she remembered that Ji Chen had mentioned Fan Xifeng before. Gu Qingtong gently touched Ji Chen’s hand: “Orange, you must still be thinking about Fan Xifeng despite not being at ease with the matter of Liang Luoxian and the Marquis of Weiyuan’s residence?”
Ji Chen was startled by her mention: “Tong’er, what did you say?”
“Orange, I don’t know about the grudge between you and Fan Xifeng. If you don’t want to talk about it, I won’t ask.”
Ji Chen looked at her hesitantly, wanting to speak but holding back.
“Keeping this bottled up inside won’t do you any good. Why not tell me and let me share your burden?”
