Chapter 34 Damaging Liu Yu's reputation is truly immoral!
"Gu Qinghan!"
Qian Yueshu lowered her voice and threatened, "You'd better think this through. I can temporarily quell the storm because of your Gu family's two million taels of 'donated silver.' But I can also kill you and make your entire Gu family pay for your greed."
"Qian Yueshu, do you really think you can turn the world upside down just by using the Crown Prince's hand?" Gu Qinghan made a last-ditch effort: "Our Gu family is a century-old family, and we can't let you manipulate us at will."
Qian Yueshu felt as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world: "A century-old merchant family? Ha, in the face of real power, they are nothing but ants. Or are fifty lashes not enough to teach you a lesson?"
These words.
Like the sharpest dagger, it precisely pierced Gu Qinghan's deepest fear.
The lives of hundreds of members of the Gu family, and the hard work of generations of ancestors!
He felt a bone-chilling cold rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, as if his blood had frozen instantly.
He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, trying to use the pain to maintain his last bit of clarity and composure.
Time seemed to stretch out, and every second was an ordeal.
In the end, Gu Qinghan compromised: "I...I really don't know who that person is...From beginning to end, it was him who had the salt commissioner from Jiangnan contact me. He sent people to deliver messages but never showed himself, but I suspect it was the Liu family..."
Qian Yueshu listened quietly.
Gu Qinghan continued, "He...he promised our Gu family that he would get us the position of Imperial Merchant after the matter is completed. Right now, only the Liu family can easily make such a promise."
Qian Yueshu left immediately after hearing this.
Actually, she probably guessed it.
I just wanted to confirm it with Gu Qinghan again.
The bedroom door closed again, separating the inside from the outside.
But Qian Yueshu is gone.
Gu Qinghan's heart was not at peace.
Because of a single wrong thought on his part.
The fate of the Gu family is like a candle flickering in the wind, uncertain and uncertain.
On the other side.
As Qian Yueshu stepped out of the Gu residence, she seemed lost in thought.
Liu Yu attacked her.
She couldn't possibly not retaliate.
Isn't Liu Yu trying to ruin Qian Yueshu's reputation?
She then gave him a taste of his own medicine.
Moreover, she wanted it to be even "crude" and "full of mistakes".
A conspiracy that is too perfect is thought-provoking.
A clumsy trick riddled with flaws is more likely to be accepted and spread by ordinary people who enjoy watching the spectacle and don't care about the truth, precisely because of its absurdity and straightforwardness.
Qian Yueshu knew some of Liu Yu's weaknesses.
For example, the two women fought in their previous life.
Then Qian Yueshu tore Liu Yu's clothes and saw a plum blossom mole on her chest!
This is something that damages someone's reputation.
That's really unethical!
But Qian Yueshu was never a good person.
It's unreasonable for them to bully us like this.
She didn't fight back!
Qian Yueshu is very efficient.
Everything was taken care of in just three days.
Liu Mansion.
There's going to be a good show today.
Because someone went to the Prime Minister's residence to propose marriage.
And they even went there with gongs and drums.
The person who proposed marriage was a scoundrel.
As for why they would choose such an unsavory person?
After all, most people probably wouldn't believe what a hoodlum would say.
But what Qian Yueshu wanted was not for everyone to believe that Liu Yu really had an affair with a hoodlum.
Instead, the filth must be dirty and stinky enough to tarnish Liu Yu's "pure and innocent" reputation and bring shame upon the Prime Minister's mansion!
The hoodlum was called Wang Ermazi. He was a rogue and a scoundrel, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but he was very handsome!
When Qian Yueshu approached him.
His eyes revealed a shrewd cunning and a hint of ruthlessness, like that of a desperate criminal.
He had no proper posture, his mouth was habitually crooked, and he had a somewhat cynical air about him.
Yet, that's exactly who he is.
Qian Yueshu, however, found out.
He was extremely filial. He had an elderly mother who was bedridden for a long time and three younger siblings. Most of the money he earned by stealing chickens and dogs was used to buy medicine, and the remaining amount was used to support his three younger siblings.
This task.
Qian Yueshu promised him 100,000 taels of silver.
One hundred thousand taels of silver was enough to ensure his mother and three younger brothers would live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
He risked his life to take this job.
“Miss, don’t worry,” Wang Ermazi rubbed his hands together, his voice hoarse, “I, Wang Ermazi, have nothing to lose. I’ll say whatever you tell me to say, even if… even if I get beaten to death by the Prime Minister’s men afterward, I’ll accept it! I only ask that you keep your promise, Miss, about the money…”
"The money has been paid as agreed, with 30,000 taels as a deposit to your mother. After the matter is completed, whether you live or die, the remaining 70,000 taels will be delivered to your mother." Qian Yueshu's voice was calm and even, revealing no emotion.
"Thank you!" Wang Ermazi nodded repeatedly.
Qian Yueshu nodded slightly, her gaze shifting to the two people behind Wang Ermazi.
These were the two assassins she bought from the black market for a high price of 100,000 taels of silver.
Qian Yueshu asked them to secretly protect Wang Ermazi.
She was afraid that the Prime Minister's mansion might act rashly in desperation.
The play isn't over yet.
They killed Wang Ermazi.
Qian Yueshu gave Wang Ermazi a final instruction: "Remember, the key is to shout that sentence out loudest when there are the most people around. After that, no matter what happens, you've completed most of your mission."
A lewd smile flashed across Wang Ermazi's face: "Hehe, don't worry, Miss. Cursing and smearing people is my old profession. I guarantee that the high and mighty Miss Liu will never forget me, Wang Ermazi, for the rest of her life!"
A hint of appreciation flashed in Qian Yueshu's eyes: "Go. The time is almost up."
It was just past Chen Shi (7-9 AM) in front of the Prime Minister's residence.
It was the time when government offices began to operate and street vendors started hawking their wares.
Suddenly, a commotion shattered the tranquility in front of the mansion of the powerful and wealthy.
Then Wang Ermazi arrived with two men, banging gongs and drums.
They say clothes make the man and a saddle makes the horse!
Wang Ermazi was dressed in finery today, looking every bit the part of a noble young master.
He wailed at the top of his lungs in front of the Liu residence: "Miss Liu... Miss Liu Yu! You can't be so heartless! I, Wang Er, am devoted to you, how can you turn your back on me!"
This earth-shattering shout instantly caused an uproar.
Passersby, coachmen, nearby vendors, and even some minor officials who were on their way to the nearby government office all stopped in their tracks and stared in astonishment at the entrance of the Prime Minister's residence.
On the other side.
The gatekeeper in front of the Prime Minister's residence was also dumbfounded.
It was the whispers around them that brought them to their senses: "Where did this rascal come from! Daring to cause trouble in front of the Prime Minister's residence! Get out of the way!"
Wang Ermazi, however, seemed to have his feet firmly planted on his feet, nimbly dodging the chase while putting on an even more energetic performance.
He suddenly knelt down, pounding the ground with his hands: "Liu Yu! My darling! You said you would be with me! I even gave you my ancestral jade pendant! How could you accept it and then deny it!"
The onlookers' eyes were filled with disbelief and excitement at the spectacle.
Is the Prime Minister's daughter having an affair with a street ruffian?
This is simply the most sensational and bizarre news since the founding of this dynasty!
