"Huh? You're really going to let her marry into Dongzhe? Aren't you just letting her get away with it?" Gu Xin felt that this was too good for Lu Ni. This Lu Ni was stupid and foolish, and she was hostile to them. She even thought about harming them and breaking them up.
She didn't want such a person to have a good outcome.
“Third Miss, the higher a person is praised, the harder they will fall. This is not a favor to her, but rather a way to make her turn her joy into sorrow,” the woman in white explained.
“Give her endless hope, only to let her discover in the end that it's not what she wanted at all, but despair,” Zheng Qiu added.
"Third Miss, that woman is so stupid, do you think she could win even if she were dealt a good hand? She wouldn't be able to win even if she were dealt a good hand," Fatty Wang chimed in.
"Looks like you haven't been exercising enough lately. Have you been playing cards with Bai San and the others?" Gu Xin glanced at Fatty Wang, then sighed before he could speak. "I understand what you're all saying, but honestly, I really don't want her to have a single day of peace. I just want to see her suffer every day. Just thinking about how badly Yuan Yuan was harmed by the Lin family all those years breaks my heart! I don't want the Lin family and their children to have a good life at all."
“I’m not suffering.” Lu Zheng walked to Gu Xin’s side, took her hand, and felt a warmth in his heart. “I’m not suffering at all.”
There was something else he didn't say: "The suffering I've endured is far less than what you've suffered."
The three of them—White-Clad Fatty, Fatty Wang, and Zheng Qiu—didn't want to watch the two of them anymore. They were constantly showering each other with PDA, always managing to catch you off guard and leave you feeling completely overwhelmed.
“Alright, let’s grant her wish! For now, let’s pretend we haven’t found anything. Let’s chat with the people in Nanlin and see if we can get any more gossip out of them,” Gu Xin said with a smile, squeezing Lu Zheng’s hand back.
The case is actually quite simple. The one who poisoned her was neither Lu Ni nor Prince Tian Tian, but rather A Yin, a maidservant of Princess Long Zhu'er of Nanlin.
Right after lunch, Gu Xin, Lu Zheng, and Zheng Qiu had already set their sights on A Lü and A Yin, their two personal maids.
From the time Princess Nanlin returned to the post station until her death from the poison, Princess Nanlin only had contact with two maids, Prince Tiantian, and Lu Ni; she did not see anyone else.
Even the envoys from Nanlin who wanted to see her were angered by the princess of Nanlin and dared not come.
During the day, Princess Nanlin was badly injured in her match with Gu Xin. She didn't really want to see anyone and was in a very bad mood.
Therefore, she did not meet with anyone else.
It wasn't Prince Tian Tian or Lu Ni who poisoned her; they had no motive, and they would rather she live than die.
Therefore, the three of them set their sights on Ah Yin and Ah Lü.
They didn't just guess; they analyzed the situation based on the information gathered by He Gang and He Qiang and their men from the people they interviewed at the inn.
The three of them, along with Fatty Wang, reviewed the actions of everyone at the post station from Princess Nanlin's return yesterday afternoon until her death from poisoning. No one had any connection with her side. Even Dong Zhe and Jia Cang, who wanted to visit her, were persuaded to turn back as soon as they reached the courtyard and instead went to the Nanlin envoy.
At first, they had doubts about the envoy from the South, but the number of people he met yesterday was enough to prove his innocence, and none of the envoys were hiding anyone.
