Chapter 2: Walking into a Trap



It was the middle of winter in Shuzhou State, and heavy snow was falling.

Gu Chang'an is the unfavored eldest daughter of the second branch of the general's mansion.

A girl in plain clothes and with a light veil on her face, leaned against the railing with her eyes slightly closed.

A maidservant beside her put a bright red cotton cloak on the woman and handed a note hidden in her sleeve to Gu Changan, "Miss, this is from the Fourth Prince's men."

Gu Changan opened his eyes, frowned subconsciously, and unfolded the paper.

What caught my eye was the extremely elegant words, "Exquisite dice filled with red beans, my deep longing for you is deep in my bones, do you know?"

When Chang'an saw the last three words 'Bei Ming Ye' in the signature, his eyebrows raised slightly, showing his sarcasm.

She had been waiting for this day for a month.

A month ago, she opened her eyes on her bed. It was God's mercy that brought her back to life and brought her back to the time when she was thirteen years old.

On this day in her previous life, she was plotted against and lost her virginity to Bei Ming Ye. Her grandfather saw them and gave her the label of "shameless and seducing the prince". In the end, she had no choice but to marry Bei Ming Ye.

In this life, she wants to use other people's schemes to plot against them.

"Aunt." Chang'an said in a cold tone, with an indifferent expression, "How are the preparations going?"

"Everything is ready."

Chang'an curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction. It was time to make the general's mansion lively.

At night, the moon is bright in the sky and the snow forms a blanket.

In the boudoir of Chang'an.

"Fourth Prince." Chang'an's smile didn't reach his eyes, and his voice was three parts shy and seven parts regretful. "I'm afraid I won't be able to use this fine rouge. After all, my face is covered by a veil, and no amount of rouge will be effective on the scars on my face. It's a waste to keep it with me."

Bei Mingye's eyes paused, although it was only a flash, Chang'an saw it clearly.

If you don't love someone, you won't be attentive to them. If you really like someone, how could you be so careless as to give rouge to a woman who will never use it?

Is it love or humiliation?

Chang'an wondered how confused he was in his previous life. He was truly blind in both eyes and heart.

"If you don't like it, this prince will give you something else." Bei Mingye frowned slightly and said, "You... burned incense today?"

"Yes." Chang'an's voice was low but clear enough. "My cousin said that the Fourth Prince likes osmanthus the most, so Chang'an filled the room with the best osmanthus today."

Cinnamon, a forbidden thing in Beimingye.

After all, we were husband and wife in our previous life, so I still have some understanding of him. After all, I loved him with all my heart.

This thing is his weakness. As long as he touches it or even smells it, Bei Ming Ye will become weak in his limbs and fall into a short coma until he wakes up unexpectedly.

Following Chang'an's words, Bei Mingye's expression changed from surprise to shock to disbelief. He wanted to say something but before he could open his mouth, he fell on the table in a daze.

Gu Changan looked coldly at the unconscious Bei Ming Ye. Next... a magnificent drama was about to begin.

After an incense stick of time, a noisy sound was heard in the originally quiet backyard. A group of people led by the old general broke into Gu Changan's boudoir.

The old general looked at the bulging figure under the quilt on the bed, his hands shaking with anger, and the maids and servants behind him also began to talk in a flurry.

"Miss Chang'an is cheating on me?"

"I can't believe it. Miss Chang'an is usually so timid, how could she do something like that? Wouldn't that bring shame to the General's Mansion?"

"Don't you know who stole it? How shameless!"

Gu Shijia's mother, Qin Shumin, usually disliked Chang'an the most. At this moment, she looked at the person on the bed with cold eyes, but said in a very protective manner, "Chang'an is the most well-behaved and obedient child. How could he do such a despicable thing?"

As she spoke, she signaled the old woman beside her to pull back the quilt.

However……

When the quilt was lifted and the naked man and woman underneath were exposed to everyone, everyone gasped.

Isn’t the man with his front exposed the Fourth Prince Bei Ming Ye?

The old woman was not afraid of making a big deal out of it. "Oh my, this is unbearable, this is unbearable, how could it be the Fourth Prince? Miss Chang'an seduced the Fourth Prince? This is unbearable!"

The old woman knew what her master was thinking. In order to embarrass Chang'an, she turned the woman, who was facing away from the crowd, from Bei Mingye's arms.

However, this turn almost scared the old lady to death!

Someone with sharp eyes recognized it as Gu Shijia and shouted, "Ah! That's not Miss Chang'an! It's Miss Shijia!"

Many people were whispering, "Why is Miss Shijia in Miss Chang'an's room? With the Fourth Prince? What's going on?"

Qin Shumin failed to catch the adulterer, but caught her own daughter instead. She had an idea and slapped Gu Shijia in the face.

Gu Shijia was awakened, opened his eyes dazedly, looked at the people in front of him, and asked in confusion, "Mom, Grandpa, why are you all here?"

"Jiaer, tell mother quickly, weren't you talking with your eldest brother in the yard just now? How come he is in Chang'an's room now?" Qin Shumin found clothes to put on her. Gu Shijia saw the environment clearly and her miserable situation. She was so scared that her face turned pale and she looked at her grandfather in horror.

The old general scolded him angrily, "Shameless thing! You've brought shame upon our Gu family!"

Gu Shijia had been so frightened that she had lost her mind. She didn't pay any attention to what her mother said and just cried.

"I don't know. I was clearly resting in my own room, but I don't know how I ended up in Chang'an's room. It must be Chang'an who framed me, otherwise why would I be in her room?"

After hearing what Gu Shijia said, the old general glared at Qin Shumin fiercely. He knew with his toes that these two were lying. Besides, he knew his granddaughter Chang'an well. She was a waste and had no brains. She would never do such a thing even if he beat her to death.

Just as everyone was wondering about this, Chang An walked in with regret, "What happened? Why are there so many people in my room?"

Qin Shumin watched Changan walk in, grabbed her, and asked anxiously, "Why did you frame my daughter?"

Gu Changan shook off Qin Shumin's hand with a little surprise, and caught a glimpse of the impatience on the old general's face out of the corner of his eye.

Her heart was full of ridicule. In her previous life, Gu Shijia and Bei Mingye bullied and humiliated her.

She really wanted to strangle these two people to death immediately, but in this life, she wanted them to pay for it slowly. She wanted them to live a life worse than death, and let them watch the things they expected pass by and never be able to grasp them again.

When Gu Changan's eyes fell on Gu Shijia's face, he was immediately surprised, as if he had just seen the situation of the two of them.

She spoke slowly with a faint cry, "This...this, cousin, so you deliberately sent Chang'an away and wanted to give me to the Fourth Prince? Cousin, you are easy to bully. Who in the General's Mansion doesn't know that Chang'an loves the Fourth Prince?

Now, my aunt is putting this false accusation on Chang'an. Are you taking advantage of Chang'an's mother's early death, or taking advantage of Chang'an's father's absence?"
