Meng Qianqian showed Sishe the way and then returned to the Governor's Mansion.

As soon as I entered the gate, I saw Lu Yuan and Chen Long at loggerheads.

Meng Qianqian held her forehead with her hand. The two of them were arguing again? What was going on?

Meng Qianqian blinked and tiptoed away from the side.

"Meng Xiaojiu."

Lu Yuan asked calmly, "Where did you go?"

Meng Qianqian's body stiffened, and she turned around with an impeccable smile: "Husband, brother, you are back."

"You were mean to her again." Chen Long said to Lu Yuan, then turned to Meng Qianqian and said, "I won't be mean to you."

Lu Yuan clenched his fists.

Meng Qianqian smiled awkwardly, "I heard from Yan'er and the others this afternoon that the Emperor Retired was reinvestigating the Chu family case on the condition that the Empress and the Emperor would have a smooth wedding. I was worried about Miss Yao's safety, so I went to find Sishe and asked him to secretly protect Miss Yao."

Chen Long looked at Lu Yuan: "It turns out that you didn't discuss this matter with her, and she found out about it from someone else."

Lu Yuan bit out a few words from between his teeth: "You want to sow discord, right? Why don't you say that you tipped off the Prime Minister? Do you believe that I will kick you out?"

Chen Long looked at Meng Qianqian: "He wants to drive me away."

Lu Yuan: “……!!”

"Alright, alright." Meng Qianqian quickly squeezed in between the two of them, "We are all family, and none of them have bad intentions towards me."

As she spoke, she said to Lu Yuan, "Don't be so mean to my brother."

Lu Yuan's face darkened.

Chen Long raised his eyebrows slightly.

Meng Qianqian said to him, "Brother, don't talk like that. It's not like I can't hear you."

Chen Long, whose tea talk was exposed, said: "..."

As the wedding approaches, the Duke's Mansion becomes increasingly busy.

The Queen's wedding was different from the marriage of an ordinary noble family's daughter, because it was a state wedding, and the dowry was purchased by the court and sent to the Duke's Mansion by officials from the Ministry of Rites, where it was counted and sealed in public, and then brought into the palace by the Queen on the wedding day.

In addition, the Duke's Mansion prepared a special dowry for Yao Qingluan, which was included in the extra box.

Wen personally selected and selected, but always felt it was not enough, so she added more every day.

Compared to marrying Lin Wan'er, your adopted daughter, don't take it too seriously.

Mrs. Wen was busy until midnight. She went to the next yard to check on her sleeping daughter, and then reluctantly returned to her room.

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

The entire Duke's Mansion fell into a deep sleep, and even the sound of the wind was silent.

Suddenly, a strange black shadow sneaked into the mansion and silently entered Yao Qingluan's boudoir.

The little maid on night duty fell asleep leaning against the head of the bed.

The man in black pressed the acupoints of the little maid, and she fell into a deep sleep.

The man in black walked up to the bed step by step, drew aside the curtain, and a sweet scent of a young girl filled his nose.

But he did not hesitate at all and drew the dagger from his waist.

The silver light on the blade flashed and shone into Yao Qingluan's eyes.

Yao Qingluan suddenly woke up and saw a man in black waving a knife at her. She screamed in fright.

But before she could shout, the man in black covered her mouth and stabbed her in the heart!

At the critical moment, a tall figure broke into the room through the window and chopped the opponent's hand with a knife.

The other party felt pain, loosened his hand, and the dagger fell.

Sishe caught the dagger, grabbed the opponent's shoulder and turned him around, blocked Yao Qingluan's sight with his body, and stabbed the opponent's spleen with the knife.

The knife had been stabbed so deeply that only the handle was left outside, blocking the blood from splattering from the wound.

Immediately, he carried the man and the knife on his shoulder, pushed open the door and walked out without looking around.

The whole process was clean and neat, not a drop of blood was left in the house, and Yao Qingluan didn't even see the murder process.

Yao Qingluan covered herself with a blanket, staring at Sishe's back in shock, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Who are you?"

Sishe said: "You don't need to know."
