"Do I need to stay?"

Shen Ruyi raised her eyes and stared at him.

"Yes," Gu Qinghua took a deep breath and said patiently, "When everyone arrives, I will call you down and apologize to you in front of everyone to express my sincerity."

"What if I must leave?"

Shen Ruyi frowned. Based on her understanding of Gu Qinghua, he would never be so kind.

At this time, Shen Yu stood up and walked towards her, saying in a deep voice: "Today is the anniversary of your nanny's death. Her tablet is up there, and your father will come over to pay his respects in a while. Do you really want to leave?"

"Why is the tablet of the wet nurse here?"

Shen Ruyi felt more and more that something was wrong. "When she died, her father didn't even want her to be buried in the ancestral tomb..."

"It is precisely because she cannot be buried in the ancestral tomb that we are offering sacrifices to her here alone. This is a newly built restaurant, no one has ever lived here, everything is new. From now on, that room will be used to house the tablet of the wet nurse..."

Shen Yu explained: "Go up and burn some incense for her."

Shen Ruyi had no more reason to refuse, so she turned around and went up to the third floor.

But he didn't expect that he would be hit by a club as soon as he entered the house. He fell to the ground with a headache.

In the last consciousness, I only heard that person snort and say, "Don't blame me for being ruthless. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for not being able to figure things out. What good will it do you if you ruin the Second Young Master's career? And you're still thinking about getting close to the Ninth Prince? You're dreaming!"

Shen Ruyi's heart was filled with alarm and she wanted to get up and leave, but she no longer had the strength to do so.

There's something wrong with the incense in the house!

Although she was not an expert in medicine, she had identified herbs with the old beggar before, and this incense contained aphrodisiac!

They want to destroy her innocence!

What wet nurse, what apology, they are all excuses!

When Gu Qinghua comes up later, they will have sex under the stimulation of drugs, and then Shen Yu or Shen Ci will bring people up to discover everything, and then put the blame on her for drugging Gu Qinghua and being promiscuous!

By then, she will be a rat crossing the street, a slut despised by everyone!

If Gu Qinghua could marry her, it would be a great honor for her, but he would definitely not let her be his legal wife...

By then, if she, a concubine, is forced to go to the palace to admit her mistakes, no one will help her speak up.

Rong Yan is the ninth prince, and he will never tolerate a woman who has lost her innocence!

This is a chain trap!

Dead end!

Shen Ruyi was shocked and dug her ten fingers into the ground, trying to get up and leave.

The man who succeeded went downstairs in a hurry and took credit in front of Shen Yu, "Master, it's done! Just wait for Master Gu to go upstairs, and the young lady will shamelessly tear off his clothes. Then you can go upstairs with a few friends in the name of going to find Master Gu..."

"Go down and ask the kitchen to prepare the dishes. The guests will be here soon!" Shen Yu took a deep breath, a fierce look in his eyes.

For the benefit of the entire Prime Minister's Office, it is only right to sacrifice Shen Ruyi.

And it was all her own fault.

If she hadn't gone to the Imperial Hospital to make trouble, if she had been more obedient and hadn't gotten entangled with Rong Yan, how could things have come to this?

Shen Yu quickly convinced himself.

In a blink of an eye, the front door of Zuixinlou was filled with guests.

The eldest princess and the crown prince came out of respect for the Prime Minister's Mansion, followed by a group of followers, and the scene was very lively.

On Shen Yu's face, a mature and decent smile appeared. "Your Highness the Crown Prince and Princess, please come in! We haven't seen each other for a long time. This time, we must get drunk together!"

"Long time no see, you seem to be liking wine now!"

The prince laughed and gave him enough face.

The queen died early, and although he had the title of crown prince, he did not have much support in the court, so it was inevitable for him to win over the prime minister's office.

The eldest princess grew up with Concubine Li, so she was naturally one with the Prime Minister's Mansion. She smiled and said to the people behind her, "Mr. Shen is treating us today, so don't be restrained. Eat as much as you can and don't worry about him spending too much."

"Mr. Shen is generous!"

The rest of the people flattered him and went into the house.

As the wine flowed, Shen Ci looked at Gu Qinghua impatiently, pretending to be half drunk, and asked vaguely: "Where is Ruyi? Wasn't she here just now? Where did she go?"

"It seems to have gone upstairs. I'll go check it out."

Gu Qinghua's eyes flickered, and he bowed to everyone and said, "Everyone eat first. I'll go up to see Ruyi and ask her to come down and eat with us."

Afterwards, he exchanged a glance with Shen Yu, picked up his robe and quickly went upstairs, feeling somewhat excited.

As long as he ruins Shen Ruyi's reputation today, it will be natural for him to ask for Shen Jiaojiao's hand in marriage and make Shen Ruyi his concubine someday.

After all, no family would allow a slut who drugged her fiancé to sit in the position of mistress of the house.

Moreover, although he didn't particularly like Shen Ruyi, he couldn't deny that Shen Ruyi was a beauty. Sleeping with her would undoubtedly be a pleasure, and it would also prevent Rong Yan from slapping him in the face!

From then on, Shen Ruyi could no longer step on him and could only beg him to be nicer to her.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghua's heartbeat quickened.

"As one wishes!"

Urgently calling her name, Gu Qinghua tiptoed to open the door and walked towards the bulging quilt beside the bed...

…

at the same time.

Shen Jiaojiao was riding in a carriage, rushing over here in a hurry, her tone nervous, "Did they really set up a trap in Zuixinlou today, wanting to make Brother Qinghua and Shen Ruyi a fait accompli?"

"That's right. I have already inquired about it. I heard that they had discussed it last night. Early this morning, the Third Young Master called Shen Ruyi to go to the academy together! Moreover, the First Young Master, the Second Young Master and others are all there today!"

Cui Yu looked at her and took credit, saying, "Second Miss, if you don't go over there, they will probably sleep together!"

"When the time comes, I'm afraid there will be no room for maneuver."

Shen Jiaojiao clenched her fists. "I originally thought that my father and brothers only had me in their hearts, but I didn't expect that they would actually help Shen Ruyi behind my back! I will never let them succeed!"

Then he said to the driver, "Hurry up and go through the back door!"

Gu Qinghua is the man she wants to marry, and she will never allow him to be taken away by Shen Ruyi!

No matter what, she will stop them today!

The carriage sped around the street in front of Zuixinlou and headed towards the back door.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew past, the horse screamed and almost crashed into the wall.

The driver finally corrected the direction and rubbed his eyes in surprise: "What just flew past us? Why is the wind so strong?"

"Is there?" Shen Jiaojiao was thinking about Gu Qinghua and Shen Ruyi, and didn't care about these things at all. She said perfunctorily, "Maybe it's a bird."

"Is there a bird that big? It looks like a person..."

The driver was a little confused, but after hearing what Shen Jiaojiao said, he didn't think about it anymore and parked the car directly at the back door of Zuixinlou.

Shen Jiaojiao got out of the car, lifted her skirt and went upstairs, heading straight to the innermost room on the third floor, muttering, "Men's words are all lies! They say they only have me in their hearts, but they can't wait to have sex with Shen Ruyi here!"

She came to the door panting, knocked gently, and called out, "Brother Qinghua..."
