The fake young lady, who was mistakenly swapped at birth into the Changping Marquisate, insisted on leaving the Marquisate to return home and become a village girl. The entire capital waited to see...
"Nothing. You've been following the Marquis of Changping these past few days. Apart from causing trouble at home, has he met anyone outside? Even a few words of warning would be fine."
"If we were to ask who the Marquis of Changping sees the most, it would naturally be the deposed crown prince, the Seventh Prince. I heard that he gets scolded every time he goes there, but the Marquis of Changping never tires of it. I don't know why. If I'm not mistaken, when he came out today, his face was filled with resentment."
"Have you heard any useful news?" Gu Yunni narrowed her eyes. Du Changming was becoming more and more dishonest.
"I only heard him say from afar that the Seventh Prince's plan was a good one, and that if possible, it must be implemented. His son's life depends on it."
"Okay, I understand. You continue to keep an eye on the Changping Marquis' Mansion. If there is any movement over there, be sure to inform me immediately."
"yes."
Gu Yunni heard all the news before sending the people away.
Qing'er stayed by his side the whole time, watching Gu Yunni fall into deep thought, and was very curious.
"Miss, have you noticed anything wrong? Would you like me to go to the Marquis' Mansion to take a look? I've still remembered all the esoteric arts I learned, and perhaps I can help you."
She had a smile on her face, as if she was recommending herself.
In the past, when she was with Gu Yunni, she could do very little to help her. Today, she finally had the opportunity and didn't want to give up.
"Nothing, I don't need your help for now. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely not be polite to you. Go back to your room and rest. I will think about it first."
Gu Yunni shook her head and sent everyone out, leaving herself alone in the room.
I sat there until midnight and didn't even have dinner.
Sheng Mingyu had just returned to the Prince's Mansion after finishing his work when he heard the news and rushed over immediately.
"Yun Ni, what are you doing? You haven't slept yet so late. Is there something on your mind? Why don't you tell me and I can help you find a solution?"
Sheng Mingyu spoke in a gentle tone. He looked at the candlelight in the room, unable to suppress the worry in his eyes.
"Mingyu? Why are you back at this time? I was so busy today that I forgot to ask what you were doing. Did you eat? Do you want the kitchen to prepare something?"
Gu Yunni was startled by the sudden shout. After hearing that it was Sheng Mingyu, her face was full of surprise and she hurried out to greet him.
"I'm fine. I've already eaten outside. Since I'm out on business, why would I put myself in such a difficult position? I just heard from the kitchen that you didn't eat tonight."
Sheng Mingyu shook his head. Every day when he returned home, this was the moment he looked forward to most. It was as if the two of them had become a real couple, and the atmosphere felt warm.
"I encountered a little problem today and I was so busy thinking about it that I neglected to eat. These servants are really something. They always bring the big things to you and are not afraid of causing you trouble." Gu Yunni was a little embarrassed and then explained.
She personally pulled Sheng Mingyu into the room, closed the door, and the two sat at the table.
His eyes were unfathomable. "Yun Ni, do you know what time it is now? It's already dark outside. Why are you dragging me in here now? Aren't you afraid of getting a bad reputation?"
Sheng Mingyu's sudden question left Gu Yunni confused.
She looked over in confusion, "When did you become so polite to me? In the past, even if I didn't let you stay in my room, you would stay for a long time. Today, I took the initiative to drag you in. You must be a problem. If you don't want to stay, then get out."
Gu Yunni had a smile on her lips. Sheng Mingyu saw that he had hit a wall and quickly shook his head.
"No, no, it's just that I'm a normal man. In the past, I was too shameless to stay in your room, but today you took the initiative...Are you not afraid of what I might do to you?"
He looked at Gu Yunni steadily, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
Gu Yunni was shocked for a moment, then calmed down.
"Humph! If you really have the guts, why not try it and see if I'll kick you out!"
"Don't!" Sheng Mingyu smiled awkwardly and held her close to him. "How dare I disrespect you? We're getting married in two months, so there's no need to rush. Tell me, what's going on today? You've never been this enthusiastic towards me before."
Sheng Mingyu stopped making Gu Yunni unhappy and started talking about business.
"I did encounter a problem. The secret guard you assigned to me today told me about the situation at the Marquis of Changping's Mansion."
Her face was full of worry, which made Sheng Mingyu feel distressed and frowned.
"Marquis' Mansion? Aren't you planning to leave the Changping Marquis' Mansion? This prince clearly told you not to bring matters concerning the Marquis' Mansion to you unless it's necessary. How can these people be so ignorant of the rules? I'll go and teach them a lesson."
"No!" Gu Yunni hurriedly stopped him and told him the whole story.
"It has nothing to do with your subordinates. I asked on my own initiative. I wanted to know if there was something going on behind the scenes since the Marquis' Mansion has been quiet lately. Sure enough, I caught him."
"Oh? Given the condition of the Marquis of Changping, could he really do anything strange? Even if there is something wrong, you should be able to solve it."
Sheng Mingyu didn't care and still smiled.
Gu Yunni was very angry and pushed Sheng Mingyu, and then he became normal.
"Okay, this is all my fault. So, tell me what's going on. What actions will the Marquisate take? How will they hurt you?"
"I only know that they still refused to give up and took me back to the Marquis' Mansion. As for their specific plan, I'm not too sure, but I know they were coming for me."
This is what worries Gu Yunni the most.
If she knew there was a way to solve it, but she was completely in the dark, how could she solve it?
"Take you back to the Marquis' Mansion? But you live in the Prince's Mansion every day. No one can easily break in unless you go out. What situation can make you go out on your own initiative?"
Sheng Mingyu also started to analyze.
It actually made her so worried, maybe this thing would really happen.
"Going out? Is it my shop? But there are mysterious spells around my shop. If anyone dares to move casually, I will be able to sense it immediately."
"No, they've suffered so much at your hands regarding the mystical arts. It would be strange if you continued to refuse to give up and even resorted to mystical arts."
All of Gu Yunni's analyses were denied by Sheng Mingyu one by one.
The two of them had been sitting in the room for almost a moment, but still hadn't come up with anything.
Just as Gu Yunni was about to give up, Sheng Mingyu interrupted her.
"Is it possible that they want to attack on the wedding day? I really can't think of any other time you can go out. Apart from the wedding day, you need to return to your home."
A word can wake a person up from a dream. As soon as Sheng Mingyu said this, Gu Yunni's eyes lit up.
