Chapter 552 Great Revenge Avenged
Gu Qianhan gave him a cold look, then got up and walked out.
Jixiang immediately followed: "Young master, shall we return to the manor?"
Gu Qianhan walked out of Qingyun Tower and got into the carriage: "I'm not going back to the manor, I'm going to the Shen family."
Jixiang clicked her tongue in surprise. Why was the young master going to the Shen family at this time? Miss Shen must already be asleep, right?
Despite his inner turmoil, he still drove the carriage toward the Shen family's residence.
Upon arriving at the Shen family's residence, Gu Qianhan immediately climbed over the wall and entered.
The two guards, yawning and sheltering from the rain under the eaves, didn't even see him.
He quickly arrived at Shen Wantang's courtyard and climbed over the wall to enter.
This time, he was on guard and did not trigger the flowerpot mechanism.
There were no lights on in the room, so it seemed that Shen Wantang had already gone to sleep.
Gu Qianhan hesitated for a moment, but in the end he couldn't resist the urge to see her, so he pushed open the door and went in.
He would just look at her and would never wake her up.
Although he had seen her during the day, he still felt it wasn't enough. Without seeing her, he always felt a void in his heart.
He entered the inner room, bent down and lifted the curtain to look, and found that the bed was empty!
Just as he was about to get up, a whooshing sound rang out, and a stick came crashing down on his head.
He nimbly dodged and grabbed the stick.
Looking back, she saw Shen Wantang's somewhat clumsy maid, who was trembling and seemed terrified.
Gu Qianhan spoke in the dim light: "It's me. Where's Shen Wantang?"
Du Juan recognized his voice. She breathed a sigh of relief and pressed her hand to her pounding heart: "It's Young Master Gu! Thank goodness! You scared me to death!"
Gu Qianhan frowned. He glanced around the small room, making sure Shen Wantang wasn't there, and asked again, "Where's Shen Wantang? Where did she go?"
Du Juan hurriedly shook her head: "I don't know!"
Gu Qianhan stared at her coldly: "Tell me, where is she? She couldn't have just vanished into thin air in the middle of the night!"
Du Juan hesitated.
She was torn between two conflicting thoughts. One voice told her that she should tell him, that the young lady trusted him, and that it was the most appropriate thing to tell him about such a big matter, since she had no one else to turn to for help.
Another voice said that he should not be told. No one should be told about the young lady's affairs. Although this man is the second young master of the Duke's mansion, he always breaks into the young lady's boudoir at night, which is really outrageous!
Seeing her hesitation, Gu Qianhan asked in a cold voice, "Has something happened to her?"
Dujuan shook her head: "Miss is alright, Miss is just..."
"What is it?"
"that is……"
"explain!"
Du Juan was startled by his cold voice and involuntarily told the truth: "Miss said she went to kill someone and told me to wait at home. She said she would be back soon, but Miss has been gone for an hour and hasn't returned yet!"
In the dim light, a crack appeared on Gu Qianhan's cold and stern face.
She went and killed someone?
Who to kill?
Princess Xiao Yuerong?
Aside from Xiao Yuerong, Gu Qianhan really couldn't think of anyone else Shen Wantang could kill. Surely it couldn't be Xiao Qingyuan, could it?
But she was too decisive!
Having just been reborn, he couldn't wait even a day longer and immediately went to take revenge!
He even offered to help her get revenge, but she said no, apparently because she thought he was too slow!
But is Xiao Yuerong so easy to kill? Is her princess's residence so easy to break into?
Gu Qianhan's face tightened, and she immediately walked out.
He climbed over the wall of the Shen family's house, didn't even bother to take the carriage, and directly untied the reins, mounted the horse, and galloped towards the princess's residence.
——
Princess's Residence.
Shen Wantang, dressed in men's clothing, stood in Xiao Yuerong's boudoir.
Xiao Yuerong, her clothes disheveled, lay down next to her male concubine.
After a fierce battle, the two were both exhausted and fell into a deep sleep.
Shen Wantang originally thought they would finish quickly, but unexpectedly, Xiao Yuerong drugged the male concubine, and the two of them dragged it out for nearly an hour! She was forced to hide in the closet for an hour without moving, and her legs were numb.
Xiao Yuerong got married last year. At that time, her short-lived husband was still alive, but he would die soon.
In her previous life, after her husband died, she kept even more male concubines. But when she met Liao Youhe, she suddenly realized that all her male concubines were useless, all of them were good-for-nothings, and far inferior to Liao Youhe.
She then drove away most of her male lovers and begged the emperor to force Liao Youhe to divorce his wife and marry her.
But she didn't expect Liao Youhe to be so unyielding, preferring to defy the imperial decree rather than divorce his wife.
This piqued her interest even more. The more unattainable something is, the more she desperately wanted it. So she resorted to any means necessary and poisoned Shen Wantang to death.
Shen Wantang felt angry when she thought of the undeserved calamities she had suffered in her previous two lives. On top of that, she was forced to listen to a live sex show in the closet for an hour, which made her even angrier.
But despite her anger, she remained rational.
She didn't know if Xiao Yuerong would be reborn after her death, but just in case, she planned to kill Xiao Yuerong quietly.
If one of the necessary conditions for rebirth is having a strong obsession, then Xiao Yuerong could not have developed an obsession by killing silently.
Moreover, this would leave Xiao Yurong completely bewildered. Even if she could be reborn, she would have no idea how she died. She would only think that she had gone too far with her lover that night, which had cost her her life.
Just like Shen Wantang, who died the first time, if Xiao Yurong hadn't gone to kill her a second time, she wouldn't even have known that she was poisoned the first time. She thought she had died from a cold.
Shen Wantang took out the poison that she had specially prepared for Xiao Yuerong that night and poured it into her mouth.
The medicine tastes sweet; drinking it will only bring pleasure, not pain, struggle, or any obsession, thus completely severing any possibility of Xiao Yue Rong's rebirth.
More importantly, this kind of poison cannot be detected in an autopsy, so Xiao Yuerong's death was in vain, and no one will seek justice for her.
Shen Wantang quietly watched as a smile appeared on Xiao Yuerong's lips, watched that smile slowly freeze, and watched the rise and fall of her chest become smaller and smaller.
After Xiao Yuerong had completely stopped breathing, Shen Wantang turned around and walked out.
She finally killed her enemy, avenging herself and Dujuan!
She didn't live in vain!
Next door, the prince consort's violent coughing could be heard.
Hearing his almost choking cough, Shen Wantang walked into the rain in the dark night.
She thought that the prince consort's illness might not be incurable. Before he married the princess, she had never heard of him having a cough.
It's highly likely that the princess didn't want him to live, which is why he was "seriously ill."
With her great revenge fulfilled, Shen Wantang felt relieved. Lost in thought, she didn't even notice a group of guards from the princess's residence approaching her.
In the darkness, a hand grabbed her around the waist and suddenly pulled her into the nearby artificial hill.
Shen Wantang almost cried out in surprise, but covered her mouth with her other hand: "Atang, it's me."
Shen Wantang turned around in disbelief. Gu Qianhan?!
She removed Gu Qianhan's hand and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"
Seeing that she was unharmed, Gu Qianhan breathed a sigh of relief. He said softly, "Leave this kind of thing to me next time. On a rainy night like this, you should be sleeping at home. I'll handle the murder."
