The fragmented words that appeared behind her reminded her of the people's hatred for her.
"Just looking at the state of things, we know that this business will not be able to continue." A sarcastic voice sounded, as if nitpicking about everything Princess Changping had done.
Listening to the words coming to her ears, one after another reminded her of her current situation.
False rumors and public ridicule could not make Princess Changping feel defeated. Putting all these together would only make her hate Shen Qingqiu even more.
Now, everything he had suffered would eventually be avenged on Shen Qingqiu.
The hand at her side was clenched tightly, and the fingertips had already penetrated into the palm. Princess Changping seemed unable to feel the pain, and her eyes were fixed on the textile factory in front of her.
Only by keeping hatred in mind can we have an early warning of the next plan.
She would not let her guard down again and let Shen Qingqiu take advantage of her.
The closure of the textile factory also reduced Princess Changping's income, which was an important source of income for her.
The news of the textile factory's decline spread throughout the capital, as if everyone already knew about Princess Changping's defeat.
The rumors on the street were even more intense, seeming to remind each other of the pain over and over again.
Princess Changping, whose mind was already filled with anger, even threw all the blame on the Seventh Prince.
She came to the door indignantly.
"Gu Cheng! Did you leak this information? If not you, how come Shen Qingqiu knew that we wanted to steal his blueprints?" Princess Changping asked in a questioning tone.
She stubbornly believed that her plan was flawless and there must be some external factor.
"You are the only one who knows my plan." Princess Changping's words were mixed with anger.
Gu Cheng was extremely surprised: "I didn't tell anyone at all! Could it be that I would go against profits?"
What the other party said was not without reason. Princess Changping fell into deep thought.
"Could it be Gu Yanran?" A familiar name was heard in the ear, and the two people's eyes met in mid-air, and they both seemed to believe it.
After all, Princess Changping first looked for Gu Yanran, but was rejected by the other party, so she changed her target.
The reasons for everything seemed to have been explained. Gu Yanran was the fourth daughter of the Gu family, and she was the only one who would leak this matter.
The originally perfect plan failed because of the other party, and was even ridiculed by Shen Qingqiu.
"Gu Yanran!" Gu Cheng gritted his teeth.
How could Gu Cheng be willing to accept that she was the one who caused the profit that was about to be obtained to be lost?
What's more, the other party promised to complete the plan on the surface, but suddenly regretted it in the end, making him look like a clown for this person to make fun of . All kinds of hatred mixed together, making Gu Cheng feel deeply angry towards Gu Yanran.
Gu Cheng strode towards Gu Yanran's room, but what he saw was an empty courtyard. The latter was now in Gu's house.
Gu Cheng held his breath with anger, picked up the porcelain on the table and threw it to the ground. The broken pieces of porcelain fell to the ground, causing a series of noises.
"Gu Yanran!" Gu Cheng spoke angrily.
Even if Gu Yanran could escape for a while, she couldn't escape forever. After all, she was already Gu Cheng's concubine, and she had to return to the Seventh Prince's Mansion no matter what.
The moment she entered the mansion, a slap landed hard on her face.
"Gu Yanran, you are so brave!"
Gu Cheng grabbed the other person by the collar and yelled at him, hatred filled his cheeks, and he tried to crush the person in front of him with all his strength.
Gu Yanran's eyelashes trembled slightly. Although she knew that this scene would happen today, she had never expected it to come so early.
Telling Shen Qingqiu about Princess Changping's plan would eventually lead to him finding out.
The waves of pain on her face seemed to remind her again and again.
Gu Yanran was just the seventh prince's concubine, so she could only endure the beatings.
Gu Cheng’s anger was far from being as little as imagined, and he slapped Gu Yanran hard again.
The crisp sound rang out in the room, and no one dared to stop it.
Gu Cheng, who was furious, didn't care about the other party's emotions at all and trampled on Gu Yanran's dignity again and again.
"Do you know what kind of agreement I reached with Princess Changping regarding the textile factory? Originally I could have gotten half of the profits, but because of your leak, the matter completely fell through."
Gu Cheng put all the consequences on Gu Yanran, saying sarcastically: "You made me lose a lot of money and my partner! All this is because of you."
"You are now the concubine of the Seventh Prince! As a concubine, you must have the responsibilities that a concubine should have!"
"You must compensate me for this loss!" Gu Cheng held Gu Yanran's arm tightly to prevent her from leaving, staring at the person in front of him.
Gu Cheng was unwilling to accept the loss of the textile factory's profits and the fact that a large piece of fat meat was snatched away by others!
"Bitch!" As fists and kicks clashed, Gu Yanran felt the pain on her body falling like raindrops.
She could only curl up her body as best she could to avoid getting hurt any more.
Princess Changping rushed over after hearing the news, and smiled gently as she looked at Gu Yanran lying on the ground, gasping for breath.
Since the other party chose to do this, it was equivalent to betrayal, and she would just stand by and watch.
"Well, since the loss has already occurred, why bother to continue to dwell on it? I have something else I want to discuss with you."
Princess Changping did not mean to interrupt Gu Cheng's insults, but something flashed through her mind at the moment, and she once again thought about how to target Shen Qingqiu.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Princess Changping, Gu Cheng's angry thoughts dissipated a lot. When his eyes fell on Gu Yanran lying on the ground, he spat fiercely: "Get away!"
Gu Yanran stood up dejectedly and returned to her courtyard with scars all over her body. At this moment, she dared not say anything because she had been informed.
Princess Changping expressed her inner thoughts: "Since Gu Yanran intervened in this matter and secretly told Shen Qingqiu about our actions, then she must bear our losses."
This time, Princess Changping still cast her malicious gaze on Gu Yanran. What she failed to do last time would definitely happen this time.
"How do you bear it?"
Gu Cheng asked.
"I have a letter here. Gu Yanran just needs to secretly put it in the Gu family's study."
"Then you lead the troops to search."
Gu Cheng frowned, not quite understanding the other party's intention: "Why?"
Princess Changping smiled faintly: "This letter is not a simple letter. As long as you let Gu Yanran put the letter in, she won't have to worry about what happens next."
"Could she refuse you for such a simple thing? She is closely related to the informant at the textile factory." Princess Changping's words were mixed with a hint of warning, as if she was also reminding Gu Cheng.
After thinking about it, the latter felt that what Princess Changping said was not wrong.
Gu Yanran caused the failure of this operation, and he lost a lot of money, so she should pay it back. Since he couldn't pay it back, he should use action to pay it back.
Princess Changping handed Gu Cheng a letter from her sleeve and carefully instructed: "Be sure to put this letter in the Gu family's study."
"What on earth is this?" Gu Cheng couldn't help but ask secretly.
Princess Changping smiled faintly: "It's a letter of rebellion."
The atmosphere in the air suddenly became quiet. Gu Cheng looked at the other party blankly, with a hint of shock in his eyes.
"A book of rebellion? What do you want to do! This is a crime of deceiving the emperor!" Gu Cheng was well aware of the crimes in the palace, and was also familiar with some people who would try every possible means to make the other party fail.
Once something like a rebellious book is discovered, it will be presented to the emperor...
There will definitely be a great shock in the imperial court, and the Gu family may even be executed along with all nine generations of the family!
Looking at the letter in Princess Changping's hand, Gu Cheng trembled and dared not take it.
In the past, slandering others was just a minor matter, but now the method chosen by Princess Changping directly hits the heart of others.
"I dare not." Gu Cheng shook his head and stumbled back. He was afraid that if the truth came out, he would be implicated and even become a scapegoat.
The word "rebellion" is of great importance, and if you are not careful, it will implicate several people. Although the emperor is sensible, every emperor will not be soft-hearted in his control of his power and position.
As long as someone secretly had bad intentions, or even wanted to seize power and usurp the throne, the emperor would be like a tiger with its claws bared, looking fierce and aggressive.
Princess Changping sneered and glanced at Gu Cheng who seemed ready to flee in panic: "You really don't have the courage."
"If you want to be someone who can accomplish great things, you must learn to conceal your emotions. Just reading this letter has already made you lose your composure. How can you continue with the next thing?" Princess Changping looked down on Gu Cheng a little.
Gu Cheng was slightly angry: "This is a rebellious book!" He lowered his voice slightly for the last three words and looked around worried that someone would hear it.
"So what? This letter is placed in the Gu family's study. It's not directed at you. As long as it's placed in there, the Gu family will definitely be doomed!"
Gu Cheng couldn't understand the other party for a while...
The woman in front of him was very arrogant. She dared to do anything, even the heinous crime of killing all nine generations of her family. Wasn't she afraid of being discovered? In the fight for the blueprints of the textile factory, he had already realized that Shen Qingqiu's methods were extraordinary. If he didn't deal with it carefully, he would fall into the trap.
They had already suffered once at the hands of Shen Qingqiu, but what about this time?
The incident at the textile factory had already given a warning. This time they would only lose a certain amount of profit, but if the rebellious book was discovered, they would die!
Princess Changping did not have a golden medal of immunity from death. Even if a large amount of money was deposited into the national treasury, it would be meaningless in front of the unpredictable emperor.
Gu Cheng's voice trembled: "If something goes wrong..."
"No! As long as you are careful you won't be discovered. Besides, you are not asked to go through all this." Princess Changping's tone was ambiguous, her eyes fell on the way Gu Yanran left.
"Isn't there still Gu Yanran?"
"All this is arranged for Gu Yanran."
Princess Changping spoke slowly, just to target Gu Yanran.
After all, it was Gu Yanran's mistake this time that led to the failure of the whole thing.
"Are you willing to accept this failure?"
