Chapter 391. Throw these two reckless fools into jail!

"Quick! Go and fetch a doctor!" Mother Chu shouted in a panic.

Guo Yunzhou's eyes darted around, and just as he was about to say something, a series of steady and powerful footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall.

"What a disgrace to be making so much noise!"

With a deep, reprimanding voice, Gu Junze, clad in full armor and with a cold expression, strode in from outside.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Chu Ruohan leaning against Yu Ling with a pale face, her eyes closed, her brows slightly furrowed, looking extremely uncomfortable.

Gu Junze's heart sank suddenly. He took a few steps to Chu Ruohan's side, his voice trembling slightly.

"Han'er, what happened?"

Yu Ling hurriedly said, "General, the young mistress was fine just now, but after Uncle and the others made a scene, she... she fainted!"

"Go and call Doctor Qian back quickly."

"Yes!"

Gu Junze's gaze swept like an icy blade across Guo Yunzhou, who was slumped on the ground, still in a daze, and his wife, who was equally at a loss beside him.

Chu's mother sobbed, "Junze, please look at Han'er, she..."

Guo Yunzhou shivered when he met Gu Junze's gaze, but still stubbornly insisted, "I... I just said a few words to her, who knew she was so delicate, she just fainted like that..."

"Shut up!" Gu Junze roared, his body radiating a chilling aura.

He carefully took Chu Ruohan from Yu Ling's arms and picked her up in his arms.

"Someone come here!" Gu Junze's voice was so cold it could freeze.

Two bodyguards quickly entered from outside, bowing their heads to receive orders.

"Throw these two reckless fools into jail!" Gu Junze ordered without turning his head, holding Chu Ruohan in his arms. Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Upon hearing the word "prison," Guo Yunzhou was terrified and scrambled to his feet, crying out, "General, spare us! General, spare us! We are Ruohan's maternal uncle and aunt!"

Madam Guo also realized what had happened, and cried out as she rushed forward, trying to hug Gu Junze's legs: "General, we know we were wrong! We will never dare to do it again! Please, General, for Ruohan's sake..."

The guards wouldn't let them get close; they grabbed the two men from either side and dragged them away.

"Gu Junze! You can't treat us like this! We are your elders!" Guo Yunzhou, being dragged along, still roared unwillingly, "Chu Ruohan! You heartless girl! Tell him to let me go!"

Chu's mother panicked and grabbed Gu Junze's sleeve, saying, "Junze, this... how did this end up in jail? They are, after all..."

Gu Junze paused, turned his face to the side, and his cold expression made Chu's mother swallow back the rest of her words.

“Mother-in-law, if they dare to throw a tantrum in the General’s Mansion today and make Ruohan faint, they will dare to act recklessly outside the General’s Mansion tomorrow!”

"If anything happens to Ruohan, I'll make the entire Guo family pay with their lives!"

The murderous intent in those words caused Chu's mother to involuntarily loosen her grip, her face turning deathly pale.

As the cries of Guo Yunzhou and his wife faded into the distance, Gu Junze, carrying Chu Ruohan, strode towards the inner courtyard, his voice softening considerably.

"Don't be afraid, I'm back."

Chu Ruohan stirred slightly in his arms, quietly opening her eyes a crack to confirm that Guo Yunzhou and the others had indeed been dragged away before letting out a sigh of relief and quickly closing them again.

She quietly buried her face even deeper, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly from an angle that her husband couldn't see.

The play has finally come to an end.

This uncle's family is truly a case of "it's easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away."

She could feel Gu Junze's heart pounding rapidly beneath his chest, and his arms were taut.

"Don't be afraid, Dr. Qian will be here soon." Gu Junze's voice was still trembling, clearly he was really frightened.

Chu Ruohan hummed in response, her voice barely audible, adding to her apparent weakness.

Just as Chu Ruohan was placed on the bed and tucked in, hurried footsteps came from outside.

"Sister! Sister, how are you?"

Chu Yueshu rushed in like a gust of wind, her face full of anxiety.

Behind her followed Chu's mother, whose face was equally worried. As soon as Chu's mother came in, she rushed to the bedside, grabbed Chu Ruohan's hand that was sticking out of the quilt, and her eyes were full of tears.

"Han'er, my daughter, you absolutely cannot be hurt! It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let your uncles in..."

Seeing this, Chu Yueshu was both angry and anxious. She turned to face her mother, her voice trembling with tears.

"Mom! Can you please stop getting involved in my uncle's family's messy affairs?"

"Look how angry they've made my sister! What if... what if something really happens to my sister? What will my brother-in-law do? What will we do?"

Chu Yueshu was truly terrified. She heard from the servants that her sister had fainted because her uncle had angered her so much that it had "affected her pregnancy." She felt as if the sky was about to fall.

When Chu's mother was interrupted by her youngest daughter, and then thought of Gu Junze's almost murderous expression earlier, and looked at her eldest daughter who was "on the verge of death" on the bed, she was terrified.

"I...I know I was wrong, Yue Shu. I will never interfere again, and I will never let them come to our door again! Waaah..." Mother Chu covered her face, genuinely regretting her actions.

Her uncle's family is like a leech, impossible to shake off; they always cause a huge uproar before they'll stop.

Gu Junze gestured to Yu Ling to invite Chu's mother and Chu Yueshu to the outer room first, while he stayed by the bedside.

After the door closed gently, shutting out the outside noise, Gu Junze took a deep breath, sat on the edge of the bed, and held Chu Ruohan's hand.

"Han'er..."

Chu Ruohan slowly opened her eyes. Gone was the weakness she had just felt. Her eyes were clear and bright, even carrying a hint of cunning.

She winked at Gu Junze, then slowly sat up, stretched, and gently shook the hand that Gu Junze was holding tightly.

"I'm fine, I'm just pretending."

Gu Junze was taken aback at first, then his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, fell heavily. Immediately afterwards, a feeling of being both amused and exasperated welled up inside him.

He put on a stern face, "You! Do you even know how upset and scared I was just now?"

Chu Ruohan took his hand and shook it gently, with a hint of coquetry in her voice.

“Husband, if I don’t pretend like this, my mother is so soft-hearted, and my uncles and the others will definitely waver again after crying and making a fuss.”

"If they stay at the general's mansion and keep bothering us every day, that will be truly endless."

She sighed: "You saw my uncle today, he's a scoundrel. If we don't teach him a lesson he won't forget and make him give up on his dreams, our family will never have peace again."

Upon hearing her words, Gu Junze's tense expression gradually relaxed.

He reached out and pulled Chu Ruohan into his arms, resting his chin on the top of her head, his voice low and deep: "Don't use this method again next time, or I'll worry."
