She has to plan for her future.

Afterwards, she knelt in front of the Third Prince with trembling legs and asked, "Your Highness, do you mean that Shen Ruyi's wedding will be ruined by the Ninth Prince?"

“It’s possible.”

The Third Prince himself was not entirely sure, "Let's wait and see what happens. The Gu family is not the most important, so I sent you to the Shen family."

Then he looked at Shen Jiaojiao and said, "The thing I want you to take away is the important thing."

Shen Jiaojiao thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness is right. Then Jiaojiao will help Your Highness get the things, and then wait obediently for Your Highness's pity in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Lowering her head, she narrowed her eyes.

If you can enter the third prince's backyard, why go to the Gu family?

Although competing for favor in the future may be very troublesome.

However, Gu Qinghua is now obsessed with Shen Ruyi, what can she do?

Shen Jiaojiao felt suffocated.

The Third Prince reached out and pulled her up from the ground. He pinched her face and looked her up and down. His voice became gentle, "Not only do you have to help me get that thing, you have to do one more thing."

"Your Highness, please speak."

Shen Jiaojiao said in a sweet voice.

The Third Prince narrowed his eyes and spoke in a gentler tone, "Aren't you from the countryside? Go and tell them that you want to learn to read and write, and hope that your father and brothers will teach you step by step."

"I want you to learn the handwriting of Shen Cangyun and Mr. Shen."

"The day you finish your studies will be the day for you to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion." The third prince raised the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly.

Shen Jiaojiao was a little confused, "Your Highness, why do I need to learn these? In fact, they have also taught me to read and write over the past year, and I basically know how to do it..."

"No," the Third Prince interrupted her, his eyes becoming sharp, "I want your handwriting to be exactly the same as theirs!"

Then, he threatened Shen Jiaojiao, “Jiaojiao, don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask. That’s not good for you.”

There was murderous intent in his eyes.

Shen Jiaojiao didn't dare to look at him and nodded, "I will try my best to do it, but don't forget what you promised Jiaojiao, Your Highness."

"As long as you can accomplish these two things, you will be a great contributor to me!" The third prince snorted, raised his chin and said, "When I ascend the throne and become the emperor, even if you cannot be the empress, you will be more than qualified to be a concubine!"

"I'm leaving this to you today!"

Shen Jiaojiao was overjoyed, "I thank you in advance, Your Highness!"

If she were a royal concubine, wouldn't she be several heads lower than the mistress of the Gu family?

Shen Jiaojiao came out of Yingchun Tower, feeling very excited.

Then let Shen Ruyi marry Gu Qinghua. When the third prince ascends the throne, both the Shen and Gu families will die.

She wanted to see how deeply in love Gu Qinghua and Shen Ruyi would still be when that time came!

"Gu Qinghua, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust," Shen Jiaojiao glanced in the direction of the Gu family. "Originally, I thought that when you marry me, I will take the Gu family to the Third Prince and keep the Gu family rich and prosperous."

"But now..."

She narrowed her eyes, turned quickly into the alley, and headed straight for the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion...

…

The days are short in winter.

It was almost dark, so Rong Yan could only say goodbye, "Ruyi, I'll wait for you at Old Lady Gu's birthday banquet tomorrow."

Shen Ruyi felt warm in her heart and looked forward to it. "Okay."

"You have a good rest. I'm leaving first."

After Rong Yan went out, he looked at the desolate Xifeng Courtyard and said, "It probably won't take long."

It won't be long before Shen Ruyi leaves here.

By then, his newly purchased garden will be waiting for her.

That place will soon become her private property.

The man thought about this and couldn't help but smile. He went out and said to Yunying, "Protect her at night and don't let anyone touch her again."

"good."

Yunying watched him leave and disappeared into the darkness again.

Gu Qinghua was still a little worried, so he came again in the evening, hid in the distance and watched Rong Yan leave. Then he slipped into Shen Ruyi's yard as if he had been pardoned, and handed Shen Ruyi a hot sweet potato.

"Ruyi, I bought it myself and it's just been baked. I heard that eating sweet things will make people happy. This sweet potato is the sweetest. You should try it."

He had a smile on his face, even brighter than a year ago.

A year ago, they were just childhood sweethearts.

Now, Gu Qinghua's eyes were filled with flattery and flattery, which reminded Shen Ruyi of how she had tried her best to please him and the Gu family father and son in the past year.

In order to have everything go smoothly tomorrow, Shen Ruyi took the sweet potato and said, "Thank you."

Seeing her smile, Gu Qinghua couldn't help but smile too, and asked, "What gift has His Highness the Ninth Prince prepared for you at my grandmother's birthday banquet tomorrow?"

Shen Ruyi glanced at him and said, "I prepared a surprise. If I tell you about it, will it still be considered a surprise?"

What gift are you preparing?

In her previous life, she had worked hard for more than a month, staying up all night until her eyes became blurry, to embroider a picture of Songshan Mountain for Old Lady Gu, but the old woman found it disgusting and not only threw it out of the door, but also set it on fire, saying that she wanted to get rid of the bad luck.

Gu Qinghua broke off the engagement, and Shen Ruyi was so angry that she vomited blood on the spot and suffered from heart disease.

This time, the one who vomits blood should be someone else.

Shen Ruyi ate the sweet potato, but didn't taste any sweetness at all.

Gu Qinghua also asked her, "Sweet, right? I picked it specially. When you marry me, our life will be sweet and beautiful. I will never do anything to make you sad like I did this year."

"That's good."

Shen Ruyi smiled.

Gu Qinghua sat for a while and left when it was dark. "You should have a good rest. I will wait for you at home tomorrow."

"good."

Shen Ruyi watched him leave and the smile on her face disappeared.

"Look at his smug look. It's really infuriating."

Fang Fei sneered, "You're giving a beggar a sweet potato. Miss, you've eaten everything. You say you know the etiquette, but you're asking people what gifts they want in advance!"

Then he looked at Shen Ruyi and said, "Miss, what gift are you going to give to the old lady of the Gu family tomorrow? I saw that the Ninth Prince came here today, but he didn't seem to bring anything except the supplements and medicine for you..."

"Send her to the west."

Shen Ruyi narrowed her eyes, "Tomorrow I will tear my face off with the Gu family. She is eighty years old, and she should have invited a lot of people to her birthday party. All those who should come will come. I want to make her lose face and vomit blood and die!"

That is the retribution the Gu family deserves!

Fang Fei was startled and grabbed her sleeve in astonishment, "Miss, wouldn't that be too much? I'm not saying that you're overdoing it, but if that happens, the Gu family and the master will hate us to death, right?"

"Besides, Madam Gu is Concubine Li's mother. If she gets mad at us, will we be sent to the clan house?"

Fangfei was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Shen Ruyi narrowed her eyes and took a deep breath, "So, I want His Majesty the Ninth Prince to give me a gift."

It’s just that it’s hard to repay this favor.
