What she didn’t expect was that the Third Prince wasn’t married. He was sure an anomaly in the royal family.
At the same time, she also learned that Butler Feng currently handled the Third Prince’s residence.
Inside a fake mountain outside the kitchen, Qiao Lanlan looked at the person in front of her with a face full of surprise and joy. “They’re here? Can I make a move now?”
On the opposite end was a man dressed like a servant. He looked around vigilantly and said, “No, Master said you can’t be exposed yet.
“He also wants me to remind you that Gu Chengrui has no feelings for you.
“If you spoil his plans, he won’t forgive you.”
“I know. I’ve gave up on him a long time ago.” Qiao Lanlan nodded and asked, “So, what instructions does Master have?”
“No, for the moment. Your mission is to use all kinds of soups to sterilize the Third Prince’s wife. Don’t worry about anything else.
“Remember, don’t act on your own. Otherwise, if you’re recognized, no one can save you.”
“I understand.” Although Qiao Lanlan was unwilling, she still nodded.
The servant looked at her reluctant expression and pinched her chin.
“Remember what I said. Someone will deal with Gu Chengrui and his wife, but it can’t be you.”
“Understood.” Qiao Lanlan nodded.
The servant saw that she had listened to him and quietly left.
Qiao Lanlan, on the other hand, was so p.i.s.sed that she raised her leg and kicked the fake mountain walls; she grimaced in pain.
However, this also reminded her. She still decided to give Zhou Ying a sterilization drug and couldn’t wait to see how long Gu Chengrui could still be in love with her.
She had to find the right time or be in big trouble.
Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui finally entered the inters.p.a.ce together again at night.
After Gu Chengrui went to work, Zhou Ying started dealing with the demands of her believers, especially those requesting to cure their diseases by giving them medicine.
Finally, she checked on Yang Wanning.
Soon, she found something was amiss. She noticed Yang Wanning was plagued by bad luck, and although hatred was in her eyes, it was not strong. Her eyes looked relatively clean and pure of revenge.
This was different from when she saw her during the day. The hatred and killing intent in her eyes were as sharp as a sword.
Zhou Ying also noticed a deep sadness and longing in her eyes occasionally. Was she hiding it well before, or…
Thinking of this, she followed the faith and found Yang Wanning sitting in a daze in her room.
There was a picture on the table in front of her, and drawn on it were some of the people around her.
Zhou Ying’s gaze stopped on the scholar because there was a label on him.
Husband…
In other words, they would get married.
Thinking back to her cold att.i.tude towards the scholar during the day and her words about how the scholar was still valuable, she suddenly had a thought. Was Yang Wanning a regressor?
If that were the case, this would be interesting. This meant they could quickly confirm whether the Third Prince was the next Emperor through Yan Wanning.
It would be fine if it were, but she would have to consider her next moves seriously if it weren’t.
After leaving her side, Zhou Ying went to Madam Cui.
Madam Cui asked a handsome and scholarly young man, “Son, you have to investigate what’s going on with the Gu family. Why would they enter the capital?
“If the Gu family finds out the cause of their aunt’s death, we’ll be in big trouble.”
“I’ll investigate this. As for the cause of Mrs. Gu’s death, you don’t have to worry. I’ve already dealt with it, and they won’t find anything.”
“Are you sure there’s no trail left behind?”
“Yes, other than Jinhua, no one else knows. I don’t think she’s stupid enough to tell anyone..”
