Chapter 216 Suspecting Something's Wrong with the Shen Family Ancestral Grave
When Gu Yunchen returned that evening, Situ Junwen ran to find him.
Gu Yunchen was a little surprised to see Situ Wenqi: Hmm, although I brought it back, he never comes to see me unless there's something wrong. I wonder what happened this time!
Situ Wenqi: [Your mother and sister-in-law suspect there's something wrong with your family's ancestral graves and are planning to hire Taoist priests and monks to relocate them! You'd better keep an eye on them and don't let them do anything reckless!]
However, forget about those Taoist priests you consulted before; they were all charlatans with no real skills.
Having just returned from a "sweet date" with Lan Die'er, Gu Yunchen's face was full of confusion, a veritable question mark: "Grave? What grave? Is it our family's ancestral grave?"
He couldn't help but wonder: Uh... why would his mother and sister-in-law suddenly start to suspect their ancestral graves out of nowhere?
Situ Wenqi shook his head helplessly. "It's because you brothers have been having such bad luck lately that they've become suspicious."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunchen was speechless for a moment and had no words to reply.
After a moment of silence, he thought to himself, "If that's the case, then perhaps there's no need for me to stop them. Maybe there really is something wrong with the Shen family's ancestral graves!"
If the ancestors of the Shen family, buried deep underground, knew what their filial sons and grandsons thought, they would surely be furious, and might even curse and swear:
"You unfilial descendants! You always suspect that our ancestral graves are in bad locations. Don't you ever think that there's something wrong with your own brains?"
…………
Inside Songhe Courtyard.
Jiang Mianmian would never doubt that there was anything wrong with her brain.
So she dug out several more books about metaphysics, hoping to find some clues or inspiration to see if there was anything wrong with the Shen family's ancestral graves.
Did our ancestors buy the wrong location, or was something really sabotaged?
Qin Ru did not get involved in this matter and stayed quietly by Jiang Mianmian's side the whole time.
What a joke!
This matter of ancestral graves can be a big deal or a small deal. What if there's a problem with the Shen family's ancestral graves, and I make any suggestions that might cause trouble?
At that time, wouldn't she...?
Thinking of this, Qin Ru's eyes were filled with fear. She let Jiang Mianmian flip through the storybook haphazardly, without offering any emotional suggestions.
On the contrary, he did whatever Jiang Mianmian said!
The main goal is to be an obedient little guard!

Situ Wenqi stayed at the Shen family's house for a whole month, but surprisingly, the dog's body did not react at all!
Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but feel uneasy. She even began to seriously question her own superpowers: Could it be that my "superpowers" have stopped working?
Otherwise, how could she have handled such a tricky matter as possession so easily?
But why hasn't this big black dog changed at all after being by my side for so long?
Um... which part of the process went wrong?
Or... this matter is beyond my capabilities, and even I cannot resolve it?
After staring at Situ Wenqi, who had been rather "silent" these past few days, for a while, Jiang Mianmian slowly shifted her gaze back to the book in her hands and then immersed herself in the "mystical and supernatural" storybook.
At this moment, Situ Wenqi felt a great sense of relief as he completely relaxed his tense and stiff body. He then listlessly lay down on the ground and began to lie like a corpse again.
Lately, that woman has been either constantly suspicious and wondering if there's something wrong with her family's ancestral graves, or she's endlessly doubting herself. Isn't this person's suspicion a bit too much?
In truth, he himself longed to get rid of his current dog body as soon as possible and return to a normal human life.
Although his body, which remained in the Ninth Prince's residence, was being carefully cared for and guarded by a group of servants and doctors, as time went on, no one could guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen!
In short, being trapped in the body of a dog is by no means a good thing.
Ah, the feeling of losing his memory was pure torture for him. It left him disoriented and unable to find any trace of his past; the sensation was an unbearable, agonizing experience!
Just as Jiang Mianmian was planning to return to the Shen family's ancestral home to check on the Shen family's ancestral graves, Gu Yunchen returned in a hurry without any warning.
"bird?"
Gu Yunchen explained, "Yes! It was a bird we found by chance a few days ago. At first, we didn't suspect anything. However, the amazing abilities this bird displayed were astonishing."
Not only is it incredibly eloquent and talkative, but this bird also possesses a remarkably rigorous and logical way of thinking, which is truly beyond imagination.
This made them suspicious, wondering if it was just an ordinary bird, or a bird possessed by a human soul.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mianmian almost instinctively looked down at Situ Junwen at her feet.
Situ Junwen looked completely innocent: Why are you looking at me like that? This bird has absolutely nothing to do with me. I've never even seen it before, let alone have any connection with it!
At this moment, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but think to herself:
[Good heavens! We haven't even sorted out the dog issue yet! How come this strange bird has suddenly appeared out of nowhere?]
[Oh my god! How come Su Qianqian changed the male lead again so quickly? Couldn't she have waited for Situ Junwen to return to his human form before making a decision? This is way too hasty!]
However...
Now that he's even picked up the bird, shouldn't Situ Junwen also break free from the dog god's body and return to being an ordinary, normal person? After all, there are precedents for this!
For example, when He Wenxuan's brother-in-law was detained, the second brother quickly returned to normal; and after Li Youming was detained, his brother-in-law also returned to normal immediately!
If everyone else was under control but Li Youming still hadn't recovered, Jiang Mianmian felt there was nothing to mention about it, so she simply ignored it.
Of course, there's no comparison, is there?
It's important to understand that the treatment male supporting actors and male leads receive is completely different! For example, when He Wenxuan was under control, it didn't have any real impact on the second brother and his brother-in-law at all.
Now that it's Li Youming, the situation is still similar. He's not treated like a male lead by Su Qianqian, so even if Su Qianqian changes the male lead, it's probably not easy for him, as a supporting character, to return to normal.
However, Situ Wenqi is quite different!
He's the real "male lead," so naturally he'll receive special treatment, and his status will be worlds apart from those of the supporting actors!
[Could it be that this bird didn't receive the treatment expected of the male protagonist?]
Situ Wenqi scoffed: "Hmph, I'd rather not have this so-called male lead treatment!"
At this moment, Gu Yunchen was about to go see Lan Die'er, but due to the unexpected bird incident, he had to return.
He has other matters to attend to, so he can't accompany Jiang Mianmian to see the birds. He can only arrange for Qin Ru to escort Jiang Mianmian there and tell her that someone will meet and assist them once they arrive at their destination.
After finishing his business, Gu Yunchen hurriedly left the Marquis's residence to rush off to his "date" with Lan Die'er.
Watching Gu Yunchen's departing figure, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but roll her eyes in annoyance, muttering under her breath towards the back of his head:
Wow, this guy's practically a time management master!
However, on second thought, this is actually a good thing. Now that I have Qin Ru, my thoughtful bodyguard, I can go wherever I want. What do I need that son who is always busy and never around?
Gu Yunchen suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. When he left, he saw the look in his mother's eyes and realized that if things continued like this, his position as her son would be in jeopardy!
Just then, Gu Yunchen suddenly felt a chill come from behind, and his heart tightened.
When he glanced back and saw the resentful look in his mother's eyes, his heart skipped a beat. If things continued like this, he feared that his position as the son in the family would soon be in jeopardy!
However, when he looked up and saw Lan Die'er's radiant smile not far away, Gu Yunchen instantly forgot all his thoughts and thought:
Forget it, even losing my status as a son doesn't matter, as long as my mother isn't put in danger. After all, protecting my family's safety is the most important thing!
Before Lan Die'er's problem is resolved, the family must absolutely not allow her to go, and they must absolutely avoid letting the two of them meet.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you so late? I've been waiting for you here for ages!" Lan Die'er frowned slightly, pouted, and complained coquettishly.
However, she cleverly concealed her inner dissatisfaction beneath this act of coquetry and cuteness, and then feigned anger to question him:
"Oh dear, you wouldn't have been secretly meeting other women behind my back, would you?"
