Liu Xinwu actually did such a thing behind the scenes.
Gu Yanyue never expected Liu Xinwu to be so cruel.
She was filled with rage and wanted to execute Liu Xinwu as soon as possible.
The maid in front of her knelt down tremblingly, and could not help but speak again and again: "Madam, I hope you can keep this secret for me, otherwise I am afraid that I will have no way to survive."
Gu Yanyue knew that these things had nothing to do with her.
At least before everything is resolved, Gu Yanyue will not recklessly reveal the truth in this way.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Gu Yanyue slowly spoke to the maid, with a look of tenderness in her eyes, "Please get up."
"I can pretend I never knew about what happened today, but you need to be careful in the future."
Gu Yanyue gave this kind reminder because she didn't want to see the little maid end up in such a miserable state.
She kowtowed repeatedly to express her gratitude and watched Gu Yanyue get up and leave.
After the banquet, Yuwen Ran and Gu Yanyue returned home. Gu Yanyue couldn't help but tell Yuwen Ran everything she had accidentally learned today. "Your Majesty, this Liu Xinwu is not only a corrupt official, he is also extremely lustful. He actually raped women and even used all kinds of threats and inducements to get them to submit."
Seeing Gu Yanyue's furious expression, Yuwen Ran gently took her hand and continued, "Ayue, Liu Xinwu has already noticed that something might go wrong during the prayer on the 15th. He has even secretly transferred all his private soldiers to the vicinity of the Liu Mansion."
Hearing this, Gu Yanyue's face turned gloomy.
"Then your situation will become a little difficult."
Gu Yanyue's brows were filled with anxiety and worry. She couldn't help but reach out and tug at Yuwen Ran's sleeve. At this moment, she couldn't help but continue, "Your Majesty, you must ensure your own safety."
She also realized that things would become more complicated.
But Gu Yanyue also hopes that Yuwen Ran will be safe and sound.
When he met Gu Yanyue's eyes, Yu Wenran nodded without thinking, "Ayue, I will be fine."
Yuwen Ran would never allow Liu Xinwu to do whatever he wanted.
What's more, it happened right under my nose.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the day of prayer.
People in the Jiangnan area call this day the Lantern Festival.
As night falls, every household has lit lanterns.
People on the streets were holding lanterns and strolling around.
There were rare smiles on each other's faces.
And today, Liu Xinwu specially set up a banquet at the Liu Mansion.
In order to win people's hearts, Liu Xinwu sent people to invite He Fangyan and Yuwen Ran to be his guests.
Seeing Yuwen Ran and He Fangyan sitting down, Liu Xinwu raised his wine glass high, his face full of joy, and then said without thinking: "Today is the fifteenth day of the month, and I also wish Mr. He and Brother Yuwen a happy and fulfilling life in the future."
When Yuwen Ran heard Liu Xinwu say this, he felt that it was all ridiculous.
Liu Xinwu kept talking about happiness and perfection.
But in fact, what Liu Xinwu did personally also made people feel sick.
Yuwen Ran and He Fangyan looked at each other and raised their glasses in response, "Thank you, Lord Liu."
"I also wish Mr. Liu a bright future."
Yu Wenran raised his wine glass slowly, and even his voice was indifferent when he spoke.
Liu Xinwu didn't notice anything unusual. He smiled repeatedly and took the initiative to say, "Well, I'll take advantage of Brother Yuwen's auspicious words. From now on, I will do my best to serve the court."
What a dedicated person who works for the court.
Whenever Yu Wenran heard Liu Xinwu say such things, he felt annoyed.
On the surface, Liu Xinwu did pretend to be diligent and responsible, but secretly, what Liu Xinwu did could put him to death, even to the point of punishing his entire clan.
Just as Yuwen Ran was thinking about these things, Liu Xinwu specifically suggested setting off fireworks in the mansion.
"I'm sure Brother Yuwen has never seen the grand fireworks display in the Jiangnan area. How about I have my servants prepare some fireworks for you to see today?"
As soon as Liu Xinwu finished speaking, many servants came forward.
They were all holding fireworks.
Upon seeing this scene, Yuwen Ran's expression remained calm, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Liu."
Upon hearing Yu Wenran's words, the Secret Guard Battalion immediately set out.
Fireworks bloomed throughout the entire Jiangnan city.
At the same time, a fire broke out in the backyard of Liu's mansion.
"Sir, something terrible has happened. For some reason, the backyard suddenly caught fire!"
A man who looked like a servant hurried over. Before he could say anything, he saw Liu Xinwu standing up with an angry look on his face, "Why don't you find someone to put out the fire?"
At this time, Liu Xinwu secretly felt fortunate that he had sent private soldiers to the vicinity of Liu's mansion earlier, and they were able to solve the urgent problem at the moment.
But before Liu Xinwu could give any orders, he saw the faces of several servants in front of him changed.
They took off the servants' clothes and took out the long swords hidden in secret.
When seeing this scene, Liu Xinwu was extremely surprised.
He had never expected that things would develop to this point. Liu Xinwu even believed that Yuwen Ran was not an imperial official who had secretly come to Jiangnan to gather information.
But judging by the current situation, all this is completely contrary to what he expected.
Liu Xinwu widened his eyes and looked at Yu Wenran in front of him. He couldn't help but frown, "You are..."
When Yu Wenran heard Liu Xinwu say this, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked natural.
Before Liu Xinwu could say anything else, Bai Ze had already quietly arrived beside Liu Xinwu.
He stretched out his hand and pointed the blade of his sword at Liu Xinwu.
"Just surrender."
Bai Ze's voice was cold and his face was full of indifference.
Liu Xinwu was shocked by this. He had indeed tested Yuwen Ran before, both openly and covertly, but Liu Xinwu did not find anything unusual.
When Liu Xinwu remembered that all this was carefully planned by Yuwen Ran, he couldn't help but frown. He glared at Yuwen Ran and He Fangyan in front of him fiercely, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to point in their direction.
"It turns out that all of this was carefully planned by you."
