The man's name was Xu San, a small vendor in the capital. He usually sold sachets, but he didn't make much money, just enough to make ends meet. Not long ago, he was tricked by a friend into becoming addicted to gambling and was in urgent need of money.

Someone came to him yesterday and said that there was an opportunity that would make him rich and powerful and wanted to do a deal with him.

How could such a great opportunity happen to him? Half-believing and half-doubting, the man paid him a deposit of half a tael of silver.

When he has made up his mind, I will go to the alleys in the city to find him.

"Is this person a man or a woman?"

"She's wearing a veil so I can't see her true face."

Since Gao Jinyu is going to take action, he must be cautious. He will not show up in person, nor will he let his subordinates reveal their true faces easily.

"You go on."

"Since I was given the half ounce of silver, how could I not believe it? So I went to find the woman and asked her what she wanted to do."

As Xu San was speaking, he looked up at Su Jinhua's expression, and the rest of the words were really difficult to say.

"It's nothing more than letting you into my bedroom, ruining my reputation, and wasting my time. I'll bring people to check the room at night. Once they break in, the affair will naturally be discovered."

Su Jinhua finished what Xu San hadn't finished saying. Seeing Xu San's shocked face, Su Jinhua sneered.

"What a crude trick. When did they agree to come?"

"Tonight at midnight, Madam is truly a god, with amazing foresight."

After Xu San finished speaking, he looked around with a pair of eyes that looked quite shifty.

"Madam, I have explained everything. Can I leave now?"

"No hurry, I still have some use for you."

Xu San was almost crying. He really didn't want to get involved in this mess. If there was a pill to regret in the world, he would never have come here tonight.

"Madam, you also said that I am just a powerless person. There is no point in you keeping me."

"Just do whatever you are told to do. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Have you ever thought that I already know about this matter? Then you and I are on the same front, so you don't have to worry about your safety. I kept you here because I wanted to fight back."

"I'll vent my anger, and you can get half a tael of silver for free and leave the mansion safely. If something unexpected happens after you leave the mansion, Gao Jinyu will be the biggest suspect."

"She wouldn't be that stupid, and this is the safest way for you to leave."

"Since you said so, I will make three wishes to obey Madam's orders."

After saying that, Xu San knelt on the ground. He couldn't figure out all those twists and turns in his mind. Now, no matter what he was asked to do, the only thing he had to do was to keep his life.

"Zhuying, throw him into Gao Jinyu's room later."

"Yes."

Xu San was shocked. This was really a tit-for-tat fight, using the same trick to deal with him.

"You don't need to do anything. Someone will come to find you, but it's not Gao Jinyu. You just need to pretend to be Gao Jinyu's lover and say a few words."

"Yes Yes Yes."

……

After a while, Su Jinhua and Banxia walked out of the woodshed.

"Since she wants us to have some movement in the yard, then we should do as she wishes."

Banxia realized that Aunt Gao was really shooting herself in the foot.

Tonight is destined to be lively, with a big show taking place.

Gao Jinyu had no idea that something bad was about to happen. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, smiling as she embroidered her handkerchief.

"Oh, by the way, ask the maid to invite Sister Shen, and send another maid to Ji Fang's yard..."

Su Jinhua told Banxia all his plans and asked her to take care of them.

Late at night, in the three courtyards, an inexplicable atmosphere was undercurrent.

Child

"Aunt! Aunt!"

Gao Jinyu's personal maid ran into the yard in a hurry, her face full of excitement. Perhaps she was too excited and almost rushed into the house.

Gao Jinyu stopped embroidering the handkerchief, and when she heard the noise, she quickly stood up, trying hard to suppress her inner excitement.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"My aunt, there is movement in the Crown Prince's wife's courtyard. The candlelight is bright now. I also saw Banxia running out in a hurry. I don't know what she is doing."

"I also saw two figures over there by the window, they seemed to be arguing about something."

"Such a big thing, we must take a closer look."

As she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something and stopped walking out the door.

"What's wrong, auntie?"

"If something happens to the Crown Prince's Concubine, it will affect the whole mansion. How can I go there without my sister? Go to Ji Fang's yard and tell her that there seems to be a stranger in the Crown Prince's Concubine's yard. I'm afraid that she has been offended. Tell her to report to mother immediately."

The maid understood instantly and hurried to Ji Fang's yard.

She was not in a hurry to leave until Ji Fang invited the eldest princess out.

After a cup of tea, the personal maid came back in a hurry, but with a bad expression on her face.

"What's wrong? You look so ugly?"

"My dear aunt, I just went to Aunt Ji's courtyard, but Aunt Ji was not there. I don't know where she went. Even her personal maid was not there."

Gao Jinyu looked displeased. Why was this guy running around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

"Aunt, are we still going to look for the princess?"

"It's late at night, let's not disturb mother. I'll go see what's going on first."

"Yes"

The master and servant went to Su Jinhua's yard one after another.

Not long after they left, a figure carrying another person quickly entered the house.

……

"This servant has met Aunt Gao."

Banxia and Zhuying, who were guarding outside the yard, saw Gao Jingyu bow and greet in unison.

"No need to be polite. My sister's yard is close to mine. I was just about to go to bed when I saw the yard was brightly lit with candles. What happened?"

"My aunt, the Crown Princess is not feeling well. She got up and drank a bowl of medicine and will rest soon. Thank you for your concern, Aunt Gao."

After hearing this, Gao Jinyu immediately showed a concerned expression on her face.

"Sister is sick? You servants, why didn't you tell her? As sisters in the mansion, we should come to visit sister."

As she spoke, Gao Jinyu took out a handkerchief and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes, pretending to be a loving sister.

"It's late at night, and the Crown Prince's Concubine does not want to disturb the concubines. You all know what the concubines are thinking. It's late at night and the weather is cold, Concubine Gao, please go back." Banxia said.

As soon as Banxia finished speaking, Zhuying blocked the door, as if he would not let anyone in.

Gao Jinyu raised her eyes slightly and glanced at the two people's expressions imperceptibly.

Seeing that both of them had serious expressions on their faces, she became more certain that Xu San had already entered Su Jinhua's bedroom, and when she rushed in, she would expose the affair between the two.

Let’s see what Su Jinhua will do then. If she doesn’t behave like a virtuous woman and is expelled from the mansion, who will be able to suppress her in the future?

How could I miss this opportunity?

"I'm already here, I have to see my sister first so I can feel at ease."
