Her gaze fell on Wen Ruyi's serene face, and she felt a mixture of shock and irony.
With her gentle and harmless face, Wen Ruyi completely manipulated the original owner of the body, who remained unaware until her death that she had been tricked by her.
The original owner believed her lies and thought that Gu Linchao was not only ugly but also a ruthless killer. That's why, under her instigation, she decided to elope with someone and escape from the palace.
The reason why the original owner believed Wen Ruyi's words was that on the day of her wedding to Gu Linchao, news of an enemy invasion suddenly came from the border. Gu Linchao didn't even have time to lift her veil before leading his troops to quell the rebellion.
Therefore, the original owner did not meet Gu Linchao and naturally did not know what he looked like.
In reality, all the trouble Wen Ruyi caused was simply because she had taken a liking to Gu Linchao.
She even wrote an anonymous letter and sent it to the border in order to get Gu Linchao to kill the original owner of the body.
That's why Gu Linchao's men were lying in ambush at the back door tonight. If the original owner dared to walk out of that door and elope with Xue Ziyu, she would only face death.
Unfortunately, despite all that Wen Ruyi did, Gu Linchao never liked her. Disappointed, she had no choice but to turn to the emperor and focus on her career.
When she read the book before, she admired Wen Ruyi's ability to take things on and let them go. But now that she was in the thick of it, she felt a chill run down her spine.
Wen Ruyi has the most innocent face, yet she does the most vicious things.
Wen Ruyi was very anxious because she hadn't said a word for a long time. She had done so much and was just one step away from sending her to her death. How could she allow her to back down and ruin her plan?
A ruthless glint flashed in her eyes, but she spoke in a gentle tone: "If you change your mind, I'll go and deal with Xue Ziyu for you. I was just being nosy today."
Looking at her gentle and kind face, Wen Nongnong had an idea. She quickly pulled her back and said in a spoiled manner, "Third Sister, do you want me to go to see Young Master Xue looking like this? That won't do!"
Wen Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and asked patiently, "Then what else do you want? Time is of the essence." She paused and reminded him, "In a few days, Gu Linchao will be returning to the capital."
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Wen Nongnong's expression changed. She grabbed her hand and said urgently, "Just give me a quarter of an hour. I'll get dressed and ready to see Young Master Xue right away. Sister, please go and keep him occupied for a moment." As she spoke, as if afraid that she would disagree, she even shook her arm coquettishly, "Please, Third Sister?"
Suppressing her disgust, Wen Ruyi reluctantly nodded, "Then you'd better hurry."
A cunning glint flashed in Wen Nong Nong's eyes. Wen Ruyi wanted to harm her, so let her suffer the consequences!
"Okay, I'll be right there." With that, she turned and ran back into the house.
Wen Ruyi was furious.
What kind of time is this? This brat is still so vain. If she could, she would like to take her to the back door right now.
But she also understood Wen Nong Nong's personality, and if she forced her, it might backfire.
He had to make her go to the appointment willingly so that the man would know that his newlywed wife had eloped with someone while he was away from the capital.
Gu Linchao is a man who cannot tolerate any injustice. If he were to find out that Wen Nongnong had eloped with another man, how could he allow her to live?
She could almost see Wen Nongnong's head rolling to the ground.
Thinking of this, she smiled and walked briskly towards the back door.
