"A country girl brought back from the countryside?"
Gu Jingchun?
Shen Hechuan raised his eyes.
"right."
Tianji nodded, but was surprised that Shen Hechuan actually knew a woman's name!
"Furthermore, I have also investigated and found that all the people this maid contacted came from the same place."
"Tianjing Trading Company".
"They seemed to be looking for someone, and they searched every street and alley in Tiandu."
However, they all hid it very well, clearly indicating they had received professional training.
If we hadn't been lying in wait beforehand, we probably wouldn't have discovered it.
"Tianjing Trading Company?"
Shen Hechuan was puzzled.
"I have investigated and found that this trading company suddenly appeared in Tiandu. Before that, it mainly operated in the Qi County area."
"I gradually moved my business to Tiandu about six months ago, and in the past three months, I have opened quite a few shops in Tiandu."
It covers all aspects of life, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation, and is loved by the people because of its high quality and low prices.
"Oh, by the way, the shop where I bought candy for that little guy today is also owned by that trading company."
As Tianji spoke, he reached into his pocket and placed a piece of candy on the table.
"This kind of candy is very popular among the people."
Shen Hechuan looked at the candy, opened it, and put it in his mouth. He felt the sweetness melt on his tongue, and the gloom in his heart eased a little.
He raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Qi Prefecture?"
Qi County is right next to the border of the Great Qi, which makes it hard for him not to suspect whether she has any connection with the Great Qi.
"Check whether Tianjing Trading Company has business operations within the territory of Daqi."
Tianji paused, "Your Highness, you suspect that this trading company has ties to the Great Qi..."
Shen Hechuan nodded.
"It's all too coincidental, making it hard not to be suspicious."
Tianji nodded, then suddenly remembered the news he had just received, and said again:
"I have also discovered that the child Your Highness encountered today is also from the Yong'an Marquis's residence."
"His name is Gu Jinxi, and he is a child that Gu Jingchun brought back from the countryside."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table.
This is his gesture when he's thinking.
"A child brought back from the countryside."
"We were brought onto the road we were destined to take."
“We took the child away, and then Tianjing Trading Company used this as a reason to mobilize everyone to search for the child.”
"But whether they are looking for a child or someone else remains to be seen."
"This is truly a perfect plan!"
After finishing his sentence, Shen Hechuan changed the subject.
"Moreover, it seems that Gu Jingchun is involved in all of these matters, whether it is the child, the maid, or the Tianjing Trading Company."
"We managed to escape unscathed from the events that occurred in the Shou Kang Palace, and even managed to entangle Lady Yong'an in the schemes, ultimately receiving a marriage decree from the Luo family."
This woman's cunning is beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Gu Jingchun".
Shen Hechuan murmured her name.
"Go check, I need all her information."
"yes."
The divine will shall prevail.
However, Shen Hechuan still couldn't quite understand it.
"What charm does a widow with a child, raised in the countryside, possess that could make the Luo family take a liking to her?"
He looked at Tianji, who shook his head helplessly.
"This... If even Your Highness can't figure it out, how could I possibly come up with it?"
"Didn't the Luo family request the imperial decree for a marriage in order to help His Majesty?"
Shen Hechuan said, "That's right, but don't forget that it was Situ Qinghe who impeached the Marquis of Yong'an and brought up the matter of exchanging marriages, which is why His Majesty wanted to grant the marriage."
All of this appears to be initiated by His Majesty, but in reality, the one who took the initiative was Luo Kejin.
After all, Luo Kejin and Situ Qinghe entered the palace together.
Thinking of this, Tianji suddenly looked up.
"Could it be that the Luo family took a liking to Gu Jingchun first, so Luo Kejin wanted His Majesty to grant his son a marriage to Gu Jingchun?"
Shen Hechuan nodded.
This is a shocking revelation.
"Could all of these have been designed by that Gu Jingchun?"
"How could a woman who grew up in the countryside do this on her first trip to Tiandu?"
Shen Hechuan glanced calmly at Tianji.
Are you asking me?
Tianji quickly shook his head and then said:
"I will investigate immediately."
As he spoke, something else occurred to him, and he murmured:
"However, I've heard that this woman is extremely beautiful. Could it be that she's so beautiful that she's captivated Young Master Luo?"
"Why doesn't Your Highness just ask Young Master Luo directly?"
Tianji suddenly realized what was happening and, sensing Shen Hechuan's gloomy expression, hurriedly went to make the arrangements.
Meanwhile, in the Yong'an Marquis's residence.
Gu Jingchun stood in the study, looking at Gu Wei'ang with reddened eyes.
At this time, Chu Qianlan had been punished and confined, and Gu Yunjin returned to her own courtyard in tears.
But Gu Jingchun knew all this was not enough.
So, she went to Gu Wei'ang's study alone again.
Gu Wei'ang looked at Gu Jingchun with a cold and impatient expression.
He had no feelings for this daughter, and of course, no tenderness towards her.
Her performance today, however, impressed him.
Having navigated the ups and downs of officialdom for many years, he understands that today's events are far from simple.
But since she managed to embarrass Chu Qianlan and made the most advantageous choice for the Yong'an Marquis's mansion in time, she passed the test in Gu Wei'ang's eyes.
Therefore, he did not kick her out of the study.
After all, this study was a place that even Gu Yunjin had never been to.
