Gu Yanran said this to Shen Qingqiu, and it was obvious that she already had an idea in mind.
"So what do you mean?"
Shen Qingqiu said: "No matter whether it succeeds or not, who do you think Gu Yarong will go to first once she is free?"
They are all smart people, so there is no need to explain too much.
After Gu Yanran returned home, she ordered that Gu Yarong be released.
As expected, after Gu Yarong left, she did not go to the Marquis' Mansion, nor to the courtyard that Meng Shi had arranged for her. Instead, she took a carriage and went to the suburbs. Gu Yanran quickly reported the news to Shen Qingqiu, but Shen Qingqiu had already sent someone to keep an eye on her.
Before Gu Yanran's message got through, she had already arrived.
"Qiu'er," Gu Yanran glanced at Shen Qingqiu.
Shen Qingqiu nodded and said, "Let's go over and take a look." She wanted to see who it was that had been making things difficult for their Marquis' Mansion.
The man had obviously taken full precautions. This place was sparsely populated, and even ordinary hunters would never come here.
If they hadn't followed Gu Yarong, they probably wouldn't have been able to find this place at all.
But who was it? Shen Qingqiu thought, she had many enemies in the past, but with the change of dynasties, those personal enemies had long since disappeared. For a moment, she couldn't think of who she had offended, and that person had used such a vicious method to ruin the reputation of their entire mansion.
But there is no need to rush now, as we will soon be able to see the man’s true face.
Gu Yarong on the other side didn't know someone was following her, so she just hurried forward. Soon he lifted the door curtain. He angrily said to the inside: "Didn't you promise me that this matter would be foolproof? Now I haven't got anything yet, and I've already accompanied my wife and lost my soldiers. If I lose this gift from the emperor, I will lose my head!"
Shen Qingqiu and others were watching from outside the house, and vaguely felt that the woman who was talking to Gu Yarong was very familiar. When she turned around, it turned out to be an old acquaintance.
It turned out to be the Princess Changping whom she had not seen for a long time! Princess Changping was already annoyed when she looked at Gu Yarong in front of her. She thought her idea was perfect, but who knew that this country woman was so stupid that she actually used the jade pendant given by the emperor to crash and lose something, and she even did it herself? Was n't she so stupid that she didn't know to hire someone? Princess Changping knew that this idiot was attracted by the current success of Gu Yanran's husband. Seeing that she couldn't marry into the palace, she wanted to share Gu Yanran's soup, but she didn't expect to lose more than she gained, and instead ruined her plan.
"Miss Yarong, did you do what I said? If you had done everything I said, even if the plan failed, you wouldn't have been exposed. Now that you come to trouble me, you should also look at yourself and see what you have done!"
Seeing that she had fallen into such a state, and the woman in front of her was still shouting at her, Gu Yarong immediately did nothing. "I'm telling you, now they have caught me and are going to report me to the police. If you don't think of a way for me, I will give you up. Let's see what you can do?"
Princess Changping was not afraid of her threats. Instead, she smiled coldly and said, "I don't force you to do this. We are mutually beneficial. Besides, do you have evidence?"
Gu Yarong then remembered that he was put in solitary confinement at that time. He was feeling angry, but he unexpectedly received a letter. It was the Princess Changping who asked him out. After arriving at the place, the princess didn't say much, but asked him if he wanted to make a name for himself and if he wanted to take revenge on Shen Qingqiu and the people in the Marquis' Mansion. At that time, Gu Yarong had just been put in solitary confinement by Meng Shi and was expelled from the Marquis' Mansion. Of course, she was extremely angry towards the Marquis' Mansion. How could she let go of such an opportunity?
But now that she thought about it, the Lord of Changping asked her to do something. He himself had never shown up, and if the matter was exposed, she would be the only one who would bear the responsibility. "You used me?" Gu Yarong looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief.
"Miss Yarong, what you said is too harsh. Isn't this what you wanted to do?" Princess Changping smiled coldly, "You can't say that I used you. Once you succeed in scheming Gu Yanran, you will be the only daughter of the Marquis' Mansion besides Shen Qingqiu. Do you still need me to teach you this principle of seeking wealth and honor at the risk of one's life?"
Gu Yarong admitted that what he said was right. She had that thought in her mind, "But now everything is over. After something like this, Shen Qingqiu will never let me go."
"That may not be the case," said Princess Changping, "After all, you are the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion. No matter how harshly the people in the Marquis' Mansion say, they will never kick you out."
"But I still don't understand why you want to help me?" Gu Yarong asked, "Also, who are you?"
"If you hate Shen Qingqiu, then you are my friend," said Princess Changping. Her eyes darkened fiercely, thinking of Gu Yanran and everything else. If it weren't for these people, she wouldn't have lost her power and everything she could rely on! She has nothing now. A barefoot person is not afraid of those who wear shoes. Naturally, she wants to take revenge on her enemies one by one.
Isn't Shen Qingqiu the queen? I just wonder if this queen will still live as comfortably as she does now after losing her reputation?
Thanks to Gu Yarong's stupidity, she was able to use her. Princess Changping was still thinking about what to do next, but suddenly she thought of something and looked at Gu Yarong sharply, "You said, they wanted the government to lock you up, so how did you get out?"
Gu Yarong was confused. "No one was watching me today, so I took the opportunity to escape."
"Oh no!" Princess Changping immediately felt something was wrong, but at this moment countless people suddenly rushed in, and the person leading them was Shen Qingqiu, whom she did not want to see at this time.
Princess Changping looked at Shen Qingqiu in disbelief, and suddenly smiled, "Fool, you are really a fool."
Gu Yarong didn't know what she was talking about. When she saw Shen Qingqiu, she lowered her head and looked flustered. Shen Qingqiu just smiled coldly at her current behavior, "You are such a fool, and you are conspiring with others to plot against the Marquis' Mansion. I'm afraid you don't even know that you have been sold out."
Princess Changping would use people like that, and she would tear their skin and bones apart. It was simply a pipe dream for Gu Yarong to cooperate with her and get some benefits! Gu Yarong opened her mouth and was about to say something, but Shen Qingqiu had already ordered, "Take her away first."
If you put such a person next to you, you will feel angry just by looking at him.
As soon as Gu Yarong left, the servants in the room stepped back a little, and only Princess Changping, Gu Yanran and Shen Qingqiu were born.
When Gu Yanran looked at the Princess Changping now, she couldn't help but gasp. The pain of her disfigurement back then was still deeply engraved in her mind.
She was speechless for a long time, and Shen Qingqiu had already spoken, "I didn't expect you to come back." Since she could escape and knew the current situation in the capital, she didn't run away, but came to him.
Princess Changping also smiled coldly, "If I leave, won't you be unable to sleep or eat for the rest of your life?"
Shen Qingqiu looked at the woman in front of her. This woman was like a poisonous snake that was everywhere. She had wanted to get rid of this woman more than once in the past. But now it was different. "I can't sleep or eat well, Princess Changping, I will call you Princess for the time being, but I dare to ask, why do you make me sleep or eat uneasy now?"
“Just because you hide here and there and dare not go out to see people, do you have to use a fool to take revenge on me now?” Shen Qingqiu deliberately hit her weak spot. Changping's face suddenly became very ugly, and she looked at Shen Qingqiu viciously.
“But it’s a good thing you came to my door, otherwise I would have forgotten about you.” Shen Qingqiu said.
Changping didn't believe it, "Forgot me? You must have wanted to kill me day and night, how could you forget me?" She thought Shen Qingqiu was just saying it nicely.
"If I'm not living a good life and my heart is full of hatred, I will naturally be eager to find you and kill you to vent my hatred." Shen Qingqiu looked at her with a smile. His words had already pointed out the current situation of the two people.
Changping has nothing now. She was originally living on the desire for revenge... But they are already worlds apart. How can she take revenge? Thinking of this, a sense of despair spread from her heart. She looked at Shen Qingqiu hatefully, "In this life, I underestimated you!"
After saying this, he bit off the poison sac in his mouth and committed suicide.
Gu Yanran was a little scared, so Shen Qingqiu went forward to check on her, and only after making sure that she was dead did he order, "Bury her." Whatever happened in life, it will all be gone after death.
——
"Qingqiu, how are you going to deal with this?" Although the instigator, Gu Yanran, is dead, this matter is not over yet. Gu Yarong is such a traitor who only does things that hurt others and benefit herself. It is said that it is a risk for her to stay in the capital now.
Shen Qingqiu said: "This is the Third House's business, let's see how the Third House handles it."
Chen is still under house arrest. When she learned that Gu Yarong had done such a rebellious thing again, she burst into tears in the Buddhist temple. However, this time she did not plead for Gu Yarong. She only asked Meng to save her life at all costs. She could not take care of the rest. Even if they were her own children, there would always be times of disappointment.
Chen was also very clear in her mind that Meng was actually a soft-hearted person and would never take Gu Yarong's life, so she let it go with peace of mind.
But just like Chen thought, Meng thought for a long time and finally chose a gentle method, sending Gu Yarong to a powerful family outside the pass to be a daughter-in-law. Unless the Marquis's mansion wanted her to, she would never be able to come back in her lifetime. Fearing that the night would be long and dreams would be many, she prepared for half a month and asked Gu Yarong to prepare to get married with the betrothal gifts.
Upon learning that she was marrying an ordinary family outside the Great Wall, Gu Yarong made a fuss and refused to get married. But how could Meng let her do that?
