Chapter 328 No One Can Escape
Gu Ruanci never thought of being lenient towards those who persecuted her and her daughter. Since Wen Zimei and Concubine Wen insisted on taking this path, then let them do it.
Ye Hesheng died, but she didn't.
The current situation in Dizhou is very different from before he came back.
How can someone who once harmed my mother not pay the price?
"I heard that the third prince has been very active recently..." Lu Enyan said again.
"It doesn't matter. After all, it has nothing to do with me." Gu Ruanci replied.
"It may not have anything to do with you. If his activities succeed and Zhou Cairen is reinstated, it will not do you any good." Lu Enyan reminded.
Gu Ruanci still looked unconcerned and said, "More than a decade ago, Zhou Zhixia was able to enter the palace thanks to my mother's guidance. Now she has fallen on hard times. If her son wants to commit suicide, she must have contributed to it."
Looking at Lu Enyan's appreciative expression, something seemed to take root in her heart.
"But I am indeed a little curious about what her son wants to do."
Gu Ruanci frowned slightly, obviously not very concerned about the third prince's recent movements.
Hearing this, Lu Enyan smiled softly: "He simply wants to find a reliable helper and marry a noblewoman of high enough status to become his principal wife. But no matter what he wants to do, it will not affect your plans. You just need to focus on managing your Xiao Chunfeng."
Gu Ruanci nodded. She really didn't care about the third prince's marriage.
The previous incident with Zhou Qinzhu was not instigated by her. It was they who were jumping around on their own, which made the emperor upset and he punished them.
The emperor knew everything that had happened in Dizhou during this period, but he didn't care about it.
Gu Ruanci naturally understood in his heart that the people he moved against would not affect the stability of Dayao's kingdom, otherwise the emperor would not have been so silent.
"My energy is limited. Wen Zimei and Concubine Wen should be ready to make sacrifices now. I should also urge them. Maybe they can go on the journey with Zhou Qingdai..."
When Gu Ruanci said this, it seemed that he was not talking about other people's lives.
She was thinking about the next step and how to play this game of revenge more skillfully.
Her eyes revealed a calmness and determination, the calmness that came from having experienced hardships, and the decisiveness to show no mercy to the enemy.
Lu Enyan looked at her and couldn't help but admire her in his heart.
It turned out that she was not about to stop, but was still moving forward.
This woman may seem gentle and taciturn, but in fact she is as tough as iron. Once she makes a decision, she will never change it easily.
He knew very well that with every step Gu Ruanci took, a noble person in Dizhou would fall.
After such a long time, not to mention the palace, even those temples and Taoist temples that don’t pay much attention to this mundane world should understand Gu Ruanci’s hatred for those people.
"What are you going to do?" Lu Enyan asked softly.
He knew there was no way he could interfere with her decision, but as a friend, he couldn't help but worry.
"Of course, I want to let Wen Zimei know how all this happened. All the retribution her daughter suffered came from her." Gu Ruanci's tone was full of sarcasm.
"She really deserves to die..." Lu Enyan had to admit.
Even if he didn't understand, Wen Zimei's original motive for killing Ye Hesheng was simply because Ye Hesheng had given birth to several sons and took away their generous titles...
Ye Hesheng had nothing left, with only one daughter by his side. He had almost left the Marquis' Mansion with nothing. If Wen Zimei really had the ability, he would poison the three sons left by Ye Hesheng, so that the title would return to them.
But she didn't. She chose the most ineffective way to vent her resentment.
Saying she is incompetent, she has been able to do so for so many years without any mistakes, and has really made the second house and the Ye family run around in circles.
Although she was said to be capable, she only dared to attack powerless people like Ye Hesheng and young Gu Ruanci, and she had no way to influence any outcome.
Mentally ill women are really complicated.
"Do you need my help with the next plan?" Lu Enyan asked proactively.
"I haven't thought of it yet. If I did, I would go to find the prince immediately..."
Gu Ruanci's plan also needs to change slightly with these circumstances. Given the current situation, her plan needs to be adjusted.
This time, the Wen sisters seem to be in trouble together.
"My father wants to keep Concubine Wen, but my mother won't agree. Don't worry, my mother has taken back all the power that belongs to her. Although my father doesn't treat me well, he really has my mother in his heart. As long as my mother can give him a little response, he can give her his life."
Gu Ruanci listened to Lu Enyan's unique assurance, which clearly meant that Prince Duan was a sick love-brained person who was only interested in love and would not have too much affection for children. In order to prove his feelings, he would do many childish and shameless things.
"Your father's illness is indeed difficult to cure, even more difficult than yours..."
Gu Ruanci summed it up, and Lu Enyan did not refute it.
"I'm just physically ill, he's got a sick character..."
Gu Ruanci did not refute this summary.
"Your father may not want to hear such an evaluation."
"It doesn't matter. He doesn't care. Even if he does, I don't care."
Gu Ruanci couldn't help but sigh that these were true father and son, there was no need to doubt them at all.
Wen Zimei and Concubine Wen withstood the pressure and endured their fear of the future throughout the whole process and insisted on handling Zhou Qingdai's funeral.
As a result, on the day of the funeral, Prince Duan's men came and wanted to take the sisters away directly.
Concubine Wen kept begging, no matter how outrageous their mistake was, after all, the dead are the most important, so let her sister send her daughter away first and talk about it later.
Wen Zimei was finally on the verge of collapse. She felt that this was not the character of Prince Duan.
It seemed that Zhou Qingdai's in-laws only realized at this time that the two sisters were in trouble, and it was a serious matter.
"Mother-in-law..." Zhou Qingdai's mother-in-law's tone was full of inquiry.
She was originally a powerful person, and her behavior was very appropriate at this time.
"It's okay, just don't affect Qingdai's funeral..." Wen Zimei was almost begging.
She knew that with people from Prince Duan's Mansion coming to her house at this time, there was no way to hide what happened that year.
The development of the matter was completely beyond her expectations.
However, Zhou Qingdai's mother-in-law said, "Don't worry about this matter, mother-in-law. Although there is a saying that the dead are the greatest, if this matter is too serious, we can't afford it..."
"What do you mean?" Wen Zimei reacted and wanted to take the opportunity to do something.
Zhou Qingdai's mother-in-law said directly, "If your mother-in-law's sin is too great and we cannot bear the burden, your daughter should not be buried under the name of my son's wife..."
