In the dead of night, the Gu residence was completely silent.
In the boudoir full of nouveau riche temperament, Gu Yunwan, with a contented smile on her face, was carefully admiring the gemstone gold hairpin that she got from Gu Qingqiu during the day under the lamp.
She was in a wonderful mood, as long as she thought that she could enter the Duan Palace, all the dissatisfaction and grief would be ignored by her.
"As long as I can marry Prince Duan, those things and those people will never be mentioned again!"
Gu Yunwan is very confident. Although she doesn't often pay attention to the situation in the court, she can also detect a thing or two from her uncle's attitude.
Gu Zhiyuan is the person who is the best at flattering the high and trampling the low. He tried his best to please Duan Wang, and carefully planned for Gu Qingqiu. He wanted her to marry Duan Wang, which is enough to prove that Duan Wang has a bright future!
Even if she is just a concubine of Duan Wang's mansion, as long as Duan Wang ascends to that position, she will be able to rise up and become an old man who left the Qian mansion.
All these bright futures made Gu Yunwan even more excited.
Just when she was in a good mood, she heard a faint sound of footsteps outside the door.
"who is it!"
In an instant, danger enveloped Gu Yunwan's heart.
Her heart was beating like thunder, she had already ordered people not to approach this place!
At this time, the door was pushed open.
Seeing Gu Qingqiu's familiar figure, Gu Yunwan heaved a sigh of relief.
She glanced arrogantly at Gu Qingqiu, and held the golden hairpin tightly in her hands.
"Big sister, why did you come here late at night?"
As soon as Gu Qingqiu opened his mouth, she was lazily interrupted: "If it's because of your marriage, then you can go home and I will never let go."
Hearing this, Gu Qingqiu lowered his eyes, her hands were clenched into fists.
After a while, she asked softly: "Second sister, are you really unwilling to let me die?"
"Big Sister, where did you start?" Gu Yunwan sat up straight, looking around from the corner of her eye, fearing that Gu Qingqiu had arranged for someone to be around.
But the surrounding area was quiet, not even a cicada chirping.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said, "Big sister, I didn't let you marry a scoundrel. With your status, it is reasonable to marry a Juren, not to mention that you have an uncle to choose for you." , then Juren must be a good candidate for the top two rankings!"
"It's fine if you don't trust me, but you should trust your uncle who is doing his best to plan for you." Gu Yunwan had an innocent face, as if she had chosen a road to the sky for Gu Qingqiu.
In Gu Qingqiu's eyes, her appearance showed that she didn't care about the sisterhood.
"You know, I..."
"Big sister has poems and books in her belly, so she must have a tacit understanding with those well-educated Juren. He reads poems and books at night, and your red sleeves add fragrance, isn't it a good story?"
Seeing Gu Qingqiu's eyebrows frowned, with a lot of melancholy in his eyes, Gu Yunwan's heart suddenly became uneasy.
She stared at Gu Qingqiu viciously, gritted her teeth and asked, "Are you still thinking about His Royal Highness Duan Wang?"
"Gu Qingqiu, now you have seduced His Highness who only wants to marry you. He didn't hesitate to offend the Pei family for you. He also sent his personal guards to you. If you really marry me into Duan Wang's mansion, what would His Highness think? Will there be a place for me?" Gu Yunwan said word by word, "If you still want to keep that secret, you'd better be careful!"
"This Gu family, but there are still many people from the Pei family!"
Gu Qingqiu looked at her steadfastly, a look of unbearableness flashed across his eyes.
But soon, Gu Qingqiu's face turned cold again.
"Second sister, you forced me to do this!"
As soon as Gu Qingqiu finished speaking, Gu Yunwan realized something was wrong.
She stepped back quickly, but behind her was the bed.
When she sat down on the bed and couldn't stand up because of panic, Gu Qingqiu had already walked to her side.
"I have always regarded you as my own sister, I will give you whatever you want!" Tears filled Gu Qingqiu's eyes, his face was as pale as paper, and he looked very weak.
But her hands were holding a dagger tightly.
The other end of the dagger was deeply embedded in Gu Yunwan's lower abdomen.
The moment the sharp dagger pierced into the lower abdomen, the piercing pain spread instantly, and Gu Yunwan could hardly utter a complete sentence.
"You... want to kill me!"
Gu Qingqiu's tears rolled down drop by drop, her lips trembling: "You forced me! You shouldn't have let me leave Your Highness!"
"I promised you everything you asked me to do before! I have already promised to let you and my sister enter the house to serve His Highness together! But why are you so greedy! Your Highness is mine! I will never leave him!"
As soon as Gu Yunwan opened her mouth, blood gushed out.
The smell of blood filled her mouth, she wanted to say something, but in the end it only turned into a few whimpers.
Her fair face was stained red with blood, and it looked even more hideous under the dim light.
Gu Qingqiu's body trembled, she muttered, as if trying to convince herself.
"The secret must not be known to them! I can't help it! You drove me into a desperate situation!"
Her eyes turned red, and she stabbed the dagger forcefully into Gu Yunwan's lower abdomen. The pleasure of the moment the sharp dagger pierced into the flesh made her temporarily forget her fear.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Yunwan was no longer breathing, and there was a large amount of blood under her body.
Gu Qingqiu looked at these puddles of blood, and stumbled back a few steps.
At this time, her palm was also full of blood.
Soon, she calmed down again.
"Ban Xia."
Outside the door, a head poked out cautiously.
Although she had already expected what happened in the house, Ban Xia still covered her mouth in shock when she saw Gu Yunwan's miserable state.
Gu Qingqiu turned around in panic, with tears in his eyes: "What should I do? She's dead!"
"Miss, don't panic!" Ban Xia was equally uneasy, but she had to muster up the courage to comfort Gu Qingqiu, "It's because the second lady is pressing you every step of the way, so you have to make such a bad move, and you are also for self-protection!"
Gu Qingqiu took a deep breath, his eyes were red, and he let the tears roll down to the ground.
She stabilized her mind and said in a deep voice, "Follow our plan!"
"Yes!" Banxia gritted her teeth, and hurriedly responded, "The carriage is ready, and the luggage has been prepared. Let's send the second lady out of the city, and the matter will be resolved! At that time, everyone will think that the second lady It's eloping with someone, no one doubts you, miss!"
Gu Qingqiu nodded slowly, then stiffly and Ban Xia threw Gu Yunwan out of the courtyard wall.
No one can stand in her way!
The house once again returned to its original clean and tidy appearance, and those close-fitting clothes and jewelry were all gone.
Even if someone broke in, they would not notice any clues.
Outside Gu's mansion, the carriage drove slowly, until it got out of Chong'an Square, it only used up its strength.
Ban Xia waited for two full hours at the gate of the city with a carriage.
It wasn't until the sky lightened slightly and the city gate opened that she drove the carriage and drove out of the city gate calmly.
So far, the second miss of the Gu family has disappeared.
……
Early in the morning, Gu Ning waited in the room for a long time, but still did not find the person he wanted.
"Chunyu, Gu Yunwan hasn't moved yet?"
She kept looking outside the door, but among the servants and maids who came and went, there was not a single new face.
Chunyu has been by her side all the time, upon hearing this she shook her head: "I have never seen anyone in Second Young Lady's courtyard."
"It can't be..." Chunyu leaned against Gu Ning's ear and whispered, "Has she been persuaded by the eldest lady?"
Gu Ning frowned, and after thinking for a moment, shook his head.
"The conflict between Gu Yunwan and Gu Qingqiu is irreconcilable, unless Gu Qingqiu is willing to give Chu Yunyi to her, but do you think Gu Qingqiu will do that?"
Chunyu shook her head decisively.
As long as Gu Qingqiu is not stupid, he will definitely not give up Duan Wang.
"Why?" Gu Ning propped his chin, very puzzled, "Since it is impossible to reconcile, why didn't she come to me? I also want to know if the secret she said is about..."
"Second Miss eloped with someone!"
Before Gu Ning finished speaking, he heard the shocking news.
She sat up straight in an instant: "Who did Gu Yunwan elope with?"
The maid realized that Gu Ning was still in the courtyard, and lowered her head embarrassingly.
Gu Ning patted the table and said loudly: "Hurry up! Who did she elope with? Who spread the news!"
"I heard people said that she eloped with a bandit. Now, all valuables have been taken away from Second Miss's yard. Someone heard the sound of a carriage last night!"
"Master, there's something wrong with this." Chunyu said in a low voice, "Looking at the arrogant appearance of Second Miss, it doesn't look like she can elope with bandits!"
Gu Ning sneered, and said quietly: "She is so dedicated to climbing high branches, why would she commit herself to the bandits? What's more... What happened in the mountains, you and I know best, she was not bullied by the bandits at all, but her reputation was damaged. She is willing to marry, at least she can marry a Juren with a clean family background, why can't she think about elope with a bandit?"
"Could it be that they were coerced?" Chun Yugang came up with this idea, and then denied his own thoughts, "The bandits are all in our hands, and there is absolutely no one who slipped through the net."
Gu Ning tapped on the table, already having guesses in his mind: "I'm afraid that the secret that Gu Yunwan told me is about Gu Qingqiu's life experience."
"Do you still remember Sun Yu?" Gu Ning said softly, "It was Gu Qingqiu who used Chu Yunyi to almost kill Sun Yu."
"Gu Qingqiu has always been so self-absorbed, how could she intervene in Gu Yunwan's affairs? It must be because this secret was known to Gu Yunwan, and she has a handle in Gu Yunwan's hands."
The more Gu Ning talked, the clearer the line in front of him became.
"Yesterday, Gu Yunwan came to me to ask for conditions from me. You said...with her brain, would she be stupid enough to use this secret to threaten Gu Qingqiu again?"
When Chunyu heard this, she immediately clenched her teacup tightly.
A thought emerged in her mind, but Gu Qingqiu's skin was too deceptive, and she didn't dare to say her guess for a moment.
"Could it be..."
"Murder and kill!"
Gu Ning quickly put down the teacup and stepped over the threshold with one foot.
"Get your horses and chariots ready, I'm going out of town!"
In the boudoir full of nouveau riche temperament, Gu Yunwan, with a contented smile on her face, was carefully admiring the gemstone gold hairpin that she got from Gu Qingqiu during the day under the lamp.
She was in a wonderful mood, as long as she thought that she could enter the Duan Palace, all the dissatisfaction and grief would be ignored by her.
