Lu Ni gritted her teeth and remained silent.
She knew in her heart that Gu Xin was telling the truth, and given the current situation, that was indeed the case.
But she just didn't want to admit it.
Why is it that the children born to that village girl Zhou are all so successful and capable, and can't be harmed even if they are killed?
Lu Ni was jealous of Lu Xue because Lu Xue had never suffered since childhood. Whenever her mother wanted to do something to Lu Xue, her grandfather would stand by Lu Xue's side. Lu Xue was raised directly in her grandparents' yard when she was a child.
As for Lu Zheng, although his grandfather did not show favoritism, he used his mother as a tool to temper Lu Zheng's character. Later, when the old man died, his mother had the opportunity to send Lu Zheng to the ancestral home.
The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion should belong to her brother, and all of Lu Xue's glory should belong to her.
These two siblings were clearly born to a village girl. Her mother came from a prestigious family, so how could her children be inferior to them?
Lu Ni's mentality is very twisted. In her mind, Lu Xue and Lu Zheng were never her older brother or sister, but just a pair of siblings who stole things from her and her brother. She disliked them and hated them since she was a child.
Seeing that Lu Ni was lost in thought again, Gu Xin quickly interrupted her and asked, "So, after you successfully got close to Princess Longzhu'er, what advice did you give them to harm me and Lu Zheng?"
Lu Ni came to her senses and said, "My initial suggestion was to drug him. They have a colorless and odorless aphrodisiac in Nanlin that can make people forget things and be undetectable. We could drug Lu Zheng and send him to Princess Longzhu'er. Princess Longzhu'er doesn't want to marry Lu Zheng; she just wants to possess him. So, it's very simple. As for you, I don't need to drug you. I'll just bring you here to see the man you love in bed with another woman."
Gu Xin shrugged: "Then why didn't it go down?"
Lu Ni said, "Because they said my plan had a flaw. Even if Lu Zheng was drugged, it might not be so easy for us to bring him to Princess Longzhu'er. So, they suggested I change the plan."
"We'll choose a place with lots of people, not the inn, so Lu Zheng will be less wary. For example, a temple or a restaurant. He'll get tired and want to rest. Once he's resting, Princess Longzhu will appear. At that point, we'll naturally let you find out, then bring you out, and that'll be the end of it."
Gu Xin asked, "Did you ever consider what would have happened if I had been there when you drugged Lu Zheng?"
Lu Ni said, "You're so busy, how could you possibly be with him all the time? Besides, the bait we used to lure him out was Prince Tian Tian. We used Prince Tian Tian's feelings for you to lure Lu Zheng out. I don't believe he won't come out."
Gu Xin nodded: "Yes, that's the right way to think. But, Miss Lu, didn't they tell you that your method was stupid? Didn't they think that you should have Lu Zheng's people around you?"
Lu Ni pursed her lips and remained silent.
She only just realized that the maidservant closest to her was someone Lu Zheng had placed by her side years ago.
But she didn't know whether Prince Tian Tian and Princess Nan Lin knew.
However, she was certain that even if the two of them didn't know that He Ye was Lu Zheng's person, they would guess that Lu Zheng would send someone to monitor her.
No wonder, the three of them only met for the first time last night.
