Chapter Forty-Five: Self-Destruction



However, since Gu Yunjin and Gu Jingchun's wedding dates are both set for the same month, there simply isn't enough time.

Therefore, Chu Qianlan had Wanxiu Pavilion embroider her wedding dress.

Wanxiu Pavilion is a newly opened clothing store in Tiandu. Because of its novel and beautiful styles, it immediately attracted a large number of noble ladies as soon as it opened.

As a result, the prices of clothes in Wanxiu Pavilion have skyrocketed, especially the wedding dresses, which are ridiculously expensive.

Chu Qianlan's willingness to embroider a wedding dress for Gu Jingchun at Wanxiu Pavilion was also a sign of her conscience; she wanted to compensate Gu Jingchun first.

When Gu Yunjin arrived at Wanxiu Pavilion, she was immediately amazed to see the wedding dress that the embroiderers were working on.

She hadn't expected that the embroiderers at Wanxiu Pavilion would have such skill, producing such beautiful embroidery.

Putting aside the embroidery on the wedding dress, the cut and style alone were exactly what she wanted.

Unfortunately, this wedding dress was made for Gu Jingchun.

Her wedding dress was hastily made by embroiderers in the palace.

The wedding dresses in the palace were all standardized and conventional, which Gu Yunjin did not like.

Thinking of how Gu Jingchun would look in her wedding dress on her wedding day, and how she might outshine her, Gu Yunjin couldn't help but clench her fist.

No, she absolutely couldn't let Gu Jingchun surpass her again.

Therefore, she deliberately bribed one of the embroiderers to secretly tamper with Gu Jingchun's wedding dress to ensure it would tear on her wedding day, so that she would be embarrassed on the spot.

Gu Yunjin had to pay a hefty price for the embroiderer to reluctantly agree.

Little did Gu Yunjin know that Gu Jingchun received the news shortly after Gu Yunjin left Wanxiu Pavilion.

This Wanxiu Pavilion is owned by Tianjing Trading Company.

Since it's Gu Jingchun's business, what could possibly escape her notice?

However, she really underestimated Gu Yunjin's hatred for her, and he didn't let her off the hook even at this moment.

Unfortunately, she doesn't take those childish tricks seriously anymore.

After arranging everything, Gu Yunjin left Wanxiu Pavilion with satisfaction. However, as she passed through a small alley, the carriage suddenly stopped.

Gu Yunjin was lost in thought when she bumped her head on the carriage, and it hurt terribly.

Her expression immediately changed, and she looked like she was about to get angry.

Upon seeing this, Bai Lu immediately lifted the carriage curtain and shouted:

"Can you drive?"

Bai Lu was startled by the scene outside. She immediately screamed, let go of the carriage curtain, and took a step back, shrinking into the carriage.

"Miss, Miss..."

“There were many men in black outside, and they surrounded us.”

Bai Lu opened her mouth tremblingly.

Gu Yunjin was also startled upon hearing this.

She lifted the carriage curtain and glanced inside, instantly meeting several pairs of gloomy, cold eyes. She was so frightened that she shrank back inside the carriage.

Outside the carriage, all the servants had already fallen silently.

Just as the two were hesitating about whether to go out, the carriage suddenly started moving again.

Seeing this, Gu Yunjin wanted to lift the carriage curtain to check the situation, but then a white light flashed and a sword was placed against her neck.

"Don't move, or I'll kill you right now."

Outside the carriage, the deep voice of the man in black made Gu Yunjin tremble all over.

She kept shrinking her neck back, not daring to breathe, for fear of being hurt by the gleaming sword.

The carriage sped along, and she didn't know how long it had been before it finally stopped.

"Get down!"

After the carriage came to a stop, two cold words came from outside.

Gu Yunjin didn't dare to hesitate and trembled as she got off the carriage first.

Before Bai Lu could disembark, the carriage suddenly started moving again.

"Hello……"

As Gu Yunjin watched the carriage drive away, she began to panic.

"White Dew..."

Gu Yunjin shouted.

"Hey, who are you? Where are you going?"

Gu Yunjin subconsciously looked around at the dense trees around her, and an ignorant fear made her immediately chase after them.

Unfortunately, she was already quite weak, and after running only a few steps, she collapsed to the ground.

When she looked up again, the carriage had already disappeared.

As for Bai Lu in the carriage, she had already been knocked unconscious when Gu Yunjin got off the carriage.

As for the carriage, it quietly stopped at the back gate of the Yong'an Marquis's residence.

Inside the Marquis's residence, Gu Jingchun, who was checking the accounts, received the news and nodded slightly.

"good."

"Let her fend for herself!"

Upon hearing this, Lanxin was somewhat dissatisfied.

"Miss, you're letting her off too easily."

“Killing her outright would be too lenient. If she manages to return alive this time, then…”

Gu Jingchun paused and smiled, a beautiful curve forming at the corners of her rosy lips.

"I'll just play with her nicely."

However, she doesn't have much time left; she needs to resolve these matters before getting married.

She felt quite sorry that she couldn't witness Gu Yunjin's tragic end after marrying the Third Prince.

Shen Hechuan's appearance disrupted all her plans.

After returning yesterday, she gradually calmed down.

Shen Hechuan has been calmed down now, and there won't be any problems for the time being.

Based on her understanding of Shen Hechuan and what he said that day, he probably wanted her to break off the engagement and enter the palace as a concubine.

However, this is something she would absolutely not agree to.

Therefore, Gu Jingchun wanted to try to persuade him one more time.

If that doesn't work, then she must arrange everything as quickly as possible and die again.

As darkness fell, the last glimmer of sunlight was gradually replaced by night.

The once peaceful Yong'an Marquis's residence suddenly became lively.

Gu Jingchun's courtyard was remote, but he could still hear some noise.

Seeing this, Xiaoman and Lanxin exchanged a glance, both with expressions of anticipation, and laughed heartily.

However, at this moment, Gu Jingchun's courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open.

Gu Nansheng rushed over in a hurry.

"Yun Jin is gone!"

Gu Nansheng stared menacingly at Gu Jingchun.

Gu Jingchun was painting at the time and said casually.

Upon hearing this, she calmly continued painting, without even pausing her brushstrokes.

"If someone's missing, then hurry up and look for them! What are you doing here?"

Gu Jingchun then added,

"However, you should keep your movements low. Your sister is the future Third Prince's wife. If the news of her disappearance gets out, it may be detrimental to her reputation."

Gu Nansheng was furious when she heard this.

"Did you do it? Did you hide the person?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun looked up and finally glanced at Gu Nansheng.

"What a joke! What ability could I possibly have to touch the people you cherish most?"

"Who else but you?"

"Besides you, who else wants to get rid of her?"

Gu Jingchun sneered.

"What you're saying is even stranger. When have I ever dealt with her? On the contrary, she's always been eyeing me covetously."

Gu Jingchun finally finished the last stroke.
