Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 150: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 29

It was indeed Rui Niang's idea to invite the imperial physician.

She had seen the princess's methods and knew that her exclusive favor had already become a headache for the princess. Once the prince relaxed his attention on her, she would probably be sent out of the palace without even having time to ask for help.

Moreover, she could see that the prince would not really turn against the princess because of her.

The prince and princess were married by arrangement of the emperor. As long as the dynasty was not overthrown, they were destined to be husband and wife for life.

Fortunately, she was careful at the beginning and poured half of the infertility soup into her cotton coat, hoping that she would have a good place to go in the future.

However, she had never gotten pregnant in all these years, so the medicine still had a great impact on her body. She wanted to ask the best imperial physician to diagnose her pulse, and if she really still had the ability to have children, she wanted to have the prince's child.

As for the princess, she knew that this matter could not be kept secret for long.

But she also has a solution.

The prince and the princess are at loggerheads with each other. Since their marriage, the prince has never stayed in the princess's courtyard for more than a quarter of an hour.

Sexual intercourse is impossible. As long as you are a woman, who doesn't want to have a child of her own?

She can surrender to the princess by using her own child!

Register the child under the princess' name.

As for the future, we will plan for it slowly later.

The most urgent thing is to have the capital to stay in the palace.

Bai Shuang became angrier and angrier as she spoke. A month ago, her daughter was still the prince's fiancée. What a foolish prince. She stamped her feet in anger, "Why did the prince think that the county lady should help him? When he showed off his power in front of the daughter with the bitch Cui He, why didn't he think of asking the county lady for help one day?"

But when it comes to such an offensive matter, he still thinks of looking for the county lord.

"County Lady, let's tell the princess." Bai Shuang also knew that Zhang Jinwei was a powerful person. If she knew that the prince wanted to hide the fact that he had a concubine and had a son out of wedlock from her, would she still let Rui Niang live?

Gu Li pulled Bai Shuang and said calmly, "Don't worry, I have to help you with this!"

Before entering the Jiaosifang, Rui Niang was the eldest daughter of an official family. She was very knowledgeable and learned. She also learned special skills that other ladies from noble families could not learn in a place like the Jiaosifang.

He has all the scheming and means, the only shortcoming is his identity as the descendant of a criminal.

If you want to deal with her, you have to be cautious. After all, the official prostitute who was not allowed to redeem herself was brought back by the prince himself.

People like this are much more difficult to deal with than Wei Lingyu.

However, there is no need for Gu Li to do anything now, as someone will clean up the mess for her.

Gu Li smiled and said, "Go, take my business card to Ah Fu!"

Bai Shuang reluctantly went to the inner room to get the business card and didn't come back for a long time.

He held a piece of paper in his hand, "County Lady, there is an invitation card at the door, saying it is for you."

Gu Li took the invitation with a gold-stamped cover, opened it, and her eyes widened and then narrowed. "Duke Dingguo's fifth daughter wants to invite me to Yu Man Lou to appreciate jade?"

She knew the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but she didn't know who this Fifth Young Lady was.

"Could it be that Prince Chu wanted to invite you, using the names of the sisters in the family?"

"Probably. We have nothing to do anyway, so pack up and we'll be leaving."

"Ah?" How can one go out for an appointment immediately after receiving an invitation?

But seeing that the county lady had already stood up and walked towards the dressing table, Bai Shuang hurriedly followed her.

Yumanlou is located on the busiest section of East Street. After Gu Li got off the carriage, Zhao Qing drove to the backyard.

Seeing that the visitor was distinguished, the shopkeeper came to greet him personally, "My dear sir, what would you like to order at Yu Man Lou? Please come to the private room upstairs!"

Gu Li followed the shopkeeper upstairs and glanced at the three or two customers who were selecting jewelry at the counter on the first floor. She asked casually, "The fifth daughter of Duke Dingguo invited me to come here to appreciate the jade. I wonder what rare and beautiful jade you got in your store?"

The shopkeeper was even more humble. "So it's the county lady. I'm sorry for my ignorance. A few days ago, our shop did get a rare piece of raw topaz. If the county lady likes it, you can use it to make a whole set of jewelry."

"Oh? Then I'd better take a good look at it. I wonder if Miss Five will be angry if she knows that I came to see the jade in advance!"

The shopkeeper smiled without saying anything, then bowed and invited Gu Li into the box.

Soon a piece of raw topaz was brought in by the waiter, and the shopkeeper personally handed over a brochure of fashionable jade jewelry patterns.

Before Gu Li had finished flipping through the book in her hand, someone knocked on the door. A familiar voice rang out from outside the door: "County Lady, can I come in?"

Gu Li didn't even raise her head, "Come in!"

The door was pushed open, and Chu Yansheng, wearing a scarlet silk brocade robe with a pattern of precious flowers, stood at the door. When he looked over, he was less casual than before, and more steady like a young master from an aristocratic family.

The two had clearly only met a few times, and each time was not very pleasant, but Chu Yansheng strode in and sat opposite Gu Li in a very familiar manner.

Gu Li raised her eyebrows, but she didn't feel helpless because of Chu Yansheng's familiarity. She didn't say anything, waiting for him to speak first.

Chu Yansheng first poured hot tea for Gu Li, and then poured himself a cup. He turned to look at the large piece of topaz on the table, and only looked at it for a few seconds, "Does the county lady like this topaz?"

"It's OK." Gu Li opened her long eyelashes, "If this is why the prince called me here, then I've already appreciated it."

Chu Yansheng put down his teacup, his eyes deep, "There are new discoveries about Old Scar, and I may not be able to return the county lady's purse for the time being."

"No problem. Just as the prince said, this county lady doesn't lack that little thing."

Chu Yansheng was hit on the foot by the stone he had lifted. He felt a little embarrassed, but his face soon darkened again.

"People from the Military Affairs Department found the bodies of seven children in the yard where Old Scar lived."

What he didn't tell Gu Li was that this old man was also a middleman, and the good-looking girls he got would be sold to brothels.

Those with ugly looks were left behind as slaves. Most of the dead in the backyard were girls. Their bodies were broken and no one knew how cruelly they had been abused in their lifetime.

There is no need to talk about these dirty things to pollute the county lady's ears.

Gu Li's hand holding the teacup trembled, "He also killed someone?"

Seeing that Gu Li, who was indifferent, was finally interested, Chu Yansheng said a few more words: "Yes, there are bodies buried in the dry well in the backyard and under the chicken coop. I wonder if there are other bodies that have not been found."

"It's a pity that this guy should die!" Gu Li wanted that scum to die right now!

"Death is certain, but now we have to use him to find out the origins of the children who are still alive and try to send them back home."

Gu Li was furious, but there was nothing she could do. She could only ask Bai Shuang to go back and send more silver to Jishan Hall.

Chu Yansheng stared at the county lord opposite him with his dark eyes, who was like a furry cat, and became more determined in his plan.

She has a kind and warm heart.

Chu Yansheng's eyes unconsciously became gentle, not too hot and aggressive, but bright and with some appreciation, making it hard to ignore.

Gu Li looked puzzled.

"The county lady met Lao Ba alone at that time. Now that you know how cruel and ruthless he is, are you not afraid of him?"

Afraid, of course.

It's all thanks to her status as a county lady.
