Chapter 432 I'm Here to Send You to Hell
Chu Yanlu couldn't help but recall her previous life.
In her previous life, Shen Wantang married Liao Youhe. She accompanied Liao Youhe from poverty to wealth and honor. At that time, she was just like she is now, a noble lady envied by everyone.
Liao Youhe rose through the ranks from a poor scholar to become the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, a position highly valued by the emperor.
Even after achieving great success, he remained devoted to Shen Wantang, refusing to take concubines or have any maids. He even righteously refused when a princess wanted to marry him.
He dotes on Shen Wantang, respects Shen Wantang, and is devoted and affectionate. Who in the entire capital doesn't know this? And which woman doesn't envy Shen Wantang?
But Chu Yanluo only learned in this life that Liao Youhe was a homosexual and never touched a woman! Shen Wantang had been with him for ten years, but in reality, she had been living a life of widowhood!
But Shen Wantang kept it a secret. In her previous life, no one knew that Liao Youhe was a homosexual.
In this life, Liao Youhe had only been married for half a year when his homosexuality became common knowledge.
His career... is probably over. Even if he passes the imperial examination this spring, it won't make a difference.
All these changes were simply because Liao Youhe got a new wife.
Xiao Qingyuan was the same; he changed in this life simply because he changed wives! He was no longer infatuated with her!
Everything else remained the same; the only variable was Shen Wantang, whom she had always looked down upon!
She lived a life of wealth and stability after marrying Liao Youhe, and she still lived a life of wealth and stability after marrying Xiao Qingyuan.
Chu Yanluo spoke in a hoarse voice: "Shen Wantang, I want to ask you a question."
Shen Wantang raised her eyes: "Is there anything else you want to ask, Aunt Chu?"
"I want to ask you, have you been reborn?"
Shen Wantang almost laughed. Had she finally started thinking about this? Unfortunately, it was too late.
She said indifferently, "Does rebirth even exist? I don't believe it."
"Yes! I was reborn, and your elder sister, Shen Mingxuan, was reborn too!"
"so what?"
"So I am the chosen one, I am blessed by the heavens, I am the protagonist of this world! If you don't treat me well, you will be punished!"
Shen Wantang nodded: "Hmm, it's well-written, even more fantastical than the stories in the vernacular books. After you leave the manor, you might be able to take over the storyteller's job."
Chu Yanluo was extremely anxious: "I didn't make this up, everything I said is true! I really was reborn, I know a lot of things that will happen in the future, I even know that the Gu family is going to be wiped out! Gu Qianning, who was very close to you, she will die in the palace!"
Shen Wantang's face turned cold: "Nonsense, spreading rumors and misleading the public! Granny Chai, gag her and throw her out of the Prince's mansion! From this day forward, she is not allowed to set foot in the Prince's mansion again!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Granny Chai responded and shut Chu Yanluo's mouth: "Quickly throw her out of the manor, keeping her around is bad luck!"
Without saying a word, the two old women dragged Chu Yanluo outside.
Chu Yanlu made a whimpering sound, her eyes filled with anger and despair.
She regretted it; she should have knelt down before Shen Wantang as soon as she arrived.
Besides Shen Wantang, who else could save her? Who else could keep her in the Prince's mansion?
Unfortunately, even if she wanted to kneel down and beg Shen Wantang, she no longer had the chance.
In the pouring rain, she was thrown out of the back gate of the palace by two old women. The gate was quickly closed, and no matter how much she called out, no one answered.
A figure approached silently in the rain. Her heart skipped a beat, and when she turned around, she exclaimed, "Gu Qianhan?!"
Gu Qianhan held up an umbrella, his dark cloak fluttering in the wind and rain. He nodded indifferently: "It's me."
Chu Yanluo was pleasantly surprised: "Did you come to rescue me? Are you going to take me to the Gu family?"
Gu Qianhan said coldly, "I'm here to send you to hell."
"What?! What do you mean by this? I have no grudge against you!"
"auspicious."
Jixiang stepped out from the corner: "Young Master."
"Knock her out and send her to Yu Baifeng."
"yes!"
"Gu Qianhan, you can't do this to me! I'm the prince's most beloved woman! I—"
Before Chu Yanlu could finish speaking, Jixiang chopped her on the back of the neck with a chop, and she fainted.
Jixiang grabbed her and said with a grin, "Young master, if we send her to Young Master Yu, he will definitely be grateful to you! He might be willing to help with what happened last time."
Gu Qianhan ignored his words. He only glanced at the high walls of the Ning Prince's Mansion, then looked away and walked away.
His power was not enough. He hoped that one day he could tear down the walls of the Prince Ning's mansion whenever he wanted, and rob the people inside whenever he wanted.
Chu Yanluo was merely a stepping stone for Yu Baifeng. After all, even without him, Yu Baifeng would have known that Chu Yanluo had been released and would have found her anyway. He simply saved Yu Baifeng some time and effort.
If he really wanted Yu Baifeng's help, he would have to use other methods.
Unfortunately, he was reborn, and he actually knew Yu Baifeng's weakness and Achilles' heel—he had fallen in love with Xue Luo, the most beautiful courtesan of Wan Hua Lou.
Xue Luo became pregnant with Yu Baifeng's child, and Yu Baifeng had already consulted someone who confirmed that Xue Luo was carrying a son. He was extremely excited and cherished the child immensely.
However, it is not allowed for a courtesan to become pregnant unless Yu Baifeng can redeem Xue Luo with ten thousand taels of gold.
Otherwise, a bowl of abortion pills and a beating would be inevitable.
In his previous life, Yu Baifeng did indeed redeem Xue Luo from her servitude, but only after Xue Luo had been given an abortion drug. Before that, he couldn't afford that much gold and had been trying to delay the process in order to raise the money.
Xue Luo was indeed carrying a son; the baby was already formed when she had the abortion.
Just now, as Xue Luo was about to be forced to drink the abortion pill, Gu Qianhan redeemed Xue Luo from her servitude, and she is now settled in the house where Chu Yanluo used to live.
Of course, the money he spent was all stolen from the Divine Pill Hall.
It's estimated that the news of him redeeming the courtesan of Wanhualou will spread throughout the capital tomorrow. Perfect, he can take the brunt of the storm for Yu Baifeng.
If Yu Baifeng were a smart person, he would kneel down and thank him.
It rained all day, and Gu Qianhan had been running around outside all day as well.
As night fell, he returned to the Duke's mansion.
In the study, Duke Zhenguo Gu Rongchang and his eldest son Gu Qianling were discussing matters, with several loyal advisors by their side.
Because the emperor was hesitant to confirm the marriage between the crown prince and Gu Qianning, and even recently expressed his intention to have the crown prince choose someone else as his crown princess, Gu Rongchang was both shocked and furious. He prepared to have people jointly submit a memorial to the emperor, forcing him to appoint Gu Qianning as the crown princess.
But pushing too hard could easily provoke the emperor's wrath, while pushing too lightly would not be taken seriously. Gu Rongchang was extremely troubled by how to strike the right balance.
Just as he was at his wit's end, the door to his study was pushed open.
Gu Rongchang looked up and saw his second son walk in. His face darkened. "What are you doing here? Get out!"
Gu Qianhan's voice was cold: "Why does Father have to go to so much trouble? So what if A Ning can't be the Crown Princess? She can be a princess."
