"Impossible, I heard that the Ninth Princess Consort almost died back then, and it was Physician Du who used acupuncture points to protect her heart脉. And now, isn't our prince out searching for medicine for the Ninth Princess Consort? If so, how could the Ninth Princess Consort's injury be fake?"
"What do you know? Do you know that this eldest daughter of the Gu family previously participated in the triennial disciple recruitment ceremony of the Poisonous Physician Saint Hall, and she even won first place at the ceremony? It can be seen that this woman has achieved quite a bit in medicine. And today's absurd wedding banquet is because this woman shamelessly pushed herself to our door. If she were to do something with a purpose, it's not impossible!"
"Oh, what you said makes a lot of sense."
"Ha, it's getting late, I have to go to work. Goodbye, sister."
Saying that, the two maids who were whispering and discussing behind the rockery in the back garden came out from the side of the rockery and parted ways to do their own things.
However, what they had just whispered was spread out on the ground.
A moment later.
Among the two maids, one of them returned to the back garden, behind the rockery.
"Miss, Miss Lan..."
A figure walked out from the dark. She was dressed in maid's attire, and the expensive wooden hairpin on her head revealed her identity.
"How did things go?"
Facing the dim moonlight, her profile was illuminated by the shadow.
"Everything is done, Miss Lan."
"Mm, very good."
The shadow lengthened, and she stepped out of the shadows, revealing her face. A face that was delicate but had lost its innocence. Who else could it be but Lan Qingqing!
The little maid looked at her and giggled: "Miss Lan, since things are done, then my..."
As she spoke, the little maid extended her hand, her intention very clear.
Lan Qingqing was very disgusted by the maid's demand, but on the surface, she was very kind. She took out the silver she had prepared from her sleeve and placed it in the little maid's hand: "This matter must not be publicized. If it is discovered in the future, you know what to do, right?"
The little maid weighed the silver bag in her hand. She smiled so widely that her mouth couldn't close: "Miss Lan can rest assured. If it is discovered in the future, this servant will bear all the responsibility alone and will never betray you, Miss Lan."
Although the little maid said so, she had already made her own little plan in her heart.
She and Miss Lan were grasshoppers on the same boat. If something happened to her, how could she let Miss Lan remain at ease alone!
"Mm, very good, you can go now."
Lan Qingqing smiled at her.
The little maid turned to leave.
However, the moment she turned, Lan Qingqing suddenly grabbed her hair from behind, and while dragging her, she covered her mouth and forcefully pushed her into a deep well nearby, her eyes filled with ruthlessness: "Go to hell! Only dead people's words can be trusted."
Plop!
The sound of a heavy object falling into the water echoed.
Lan Qingqing looked around, then quickly moved the useless stones from beside the deep well and threw them all into the deep well. Finally, she used a large stone that she could move to block the well.
After finishing this, she waited by the deep well for a while longer. Only when a slightly plump man in a moon-white robe arrived did she reveal a friendly smile: "Steward Qi, you're finally here. Qingqing has been waiting for you for a long time."
The man first looked around before saying nervously: "Miss Qingqing, this matter is quite inappropriate. How about we just forget about it?"
"What are you saying, Steward Qi? Are you going back on your word? But..." As she spoke, Lan Qingqing wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said with tears: "But, Steward Qi, are you willing to let that woman enter the mansion and continue to bully Qingqing?"
Lan Qingqing raised her slender jade hand and placed it on the man's shoulder, turning him around. Her soft body leaned gently into his embrace: "Qingqing and Steward Brother have lived under the same roof in this mansion for so long, so there is naturally affection. But since that woman entered, how much grievance Qingqing has suffered, Steward Brother, do you know?"
Her jade fingers circled the man's chest, and her voice became even softer and sweeter: "If Steward Brother does not help Qingqing get rid of that woman, then in the future, Steward Brother will not be able to see Qingqing."
Saying that, Lan Qingqing paused, pushed the man away, and turned around, crying softly: "Alas, forget it. Just consider Qingqing's fate to be thin. In the next life, I will meet Steward Brother again..."
The man suddenly hugged her from behind, interrupting her words: "Don't talk nonsense, Qing'er. Don't worry, I will never let that woman Gu Qianying bully you again!"
As he spoke, the man seemed to have made a decision, his eyes filled with ruthlessness.
"Mm, Qingqing knew that Steward Brother was the best to Qingqing."
Lan Qingqing turned around and hugged the man again.
After they were affectionate for a while, Lan Qingqing handed the item in her hand to the man and said to him: "Steward Brother, tonight is up to you. Afterwards, Qing'er will wait for you in the room. Hurry up and go."
Saying that, Lan Qingqing quickly stole a kiss on the man's face and then turned and ran away quickly.
The man remained in place, stunned for a moment, then opened the handkerchief in Lan Qingqing's hand. Inside the handkerchief was a sharp dagger. He placed the dagger under his sleeve, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly left.
The Lan Qingqing, who had run away, walked out from behind the rockery when the man left. She looked at the man's receding figure, a cold, vicious smile appearing on her face: "Gu Qianying, I will make you taste what it's like to be better off dead than alive! Humph!"
With that, she left.
At this moment, Gu Qianying, who was hiding in a tree, hidden in the dark, leaped down from the tree.
She raised her eyes to look at where Lan Qingqing had left, and a sly smile curved her lips.
It was quite good. She hadn't expected to see such a good show upon her return.
It seemed that the drama in the Ninth Prince's mansion was getting more and more exciting.
With a leap, without anyone noticing, she quietly returned to the inner chambers along the roof of the main hall, lay down, and continued to feign unconsciousness.
Not long after, the window of the sleeping chamber was gently pushed open from the outside.
A figure jumped through the window.
This person had some martial arts skills, and their footsteps were very light as they walked around the room. The guards guarding the door did not hear any movement.
The person walked around the room, deliberately leaving a few footprints every few steps. The shoes this person was wearing were also deliberately smeared with some mud on the soles. After stepping a few times on the ground, they skillfully opened the box on the dressing table containing gold and silver jewelry.
The gold and silver jewelry in the box had just been placed there in the last two days. He opened it and casually took some valuable jewelry and stuffed it into his怀.
After doing this, the man deliberately placed the box on the other side of the dressing table, then turned around and walked towards the bed.
He came to the bedside, looked at Gu Qianying, but did nothing to her. Instead, he first placed the letter he had written in advance on the table, then took out a sack from his back waist, and returned to Gu Qianying.
"Miss Gu, I apologize!"
