Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

"Mr. Liang, the journey to Yanshan Pass will be extremely dangerous. Take good care of your injury, and your leg will be fine." Li Shuangwan comforted him.

Liang Qi's face turned pale due to the pain. He smiled and shook his head: "Someone is secretly helping me, and there are two groups. Otherwise, even if I have great abilities, I will never be able to take the documents back from the Xia people. Even if I take the documents back, I will never be able to escape the pursuit of King Qi on the way back to Shengjing."

Madam He and Li Shuangwan looked at each other, and Madam He asked anxiously, "Who is it? My He family should thank them."

As soon as the words came out, Li Shuangwan suddenly knew who it was.

Gu Xingyan!

Therefore, long before the news of General He and his men's death in battle reached Shengjing City, Gu Xingyan had already sent people to Xia State.

Yes, although my grandfather has secret guards, they are still not as good as Ling Yun’s royal secret guards.

What's more, they were snatching people from the Xia people.

What else had he done that he didn't want her to know?

In order to dispel Madam He's wild thoughts, Li Shuangwan said, "I asked my grandfather for help."

Mrs. He was deeply moved when she heard this. She stood up and bowed deeply to Li Shuangwan. All the women in the He family followed suit.

Li Shuangwan hurried to help her up: "Old lady, what are you doing? Get up, everyone get up quickly."

Madam He stubbornly finished her greetings and said, "Princess Heng, thank you is too light. I have only one thing to say. From now on, if Princess Heng or the General's Mansion have any problems, my He family will devote everything we have and go through fire and water without hesitation."

"You are too polite, old lady. Please get up quickly."

Li Shuangwan returned the 100,000 taels he had taken back from the manor to Old Madam He.

Madam He held the banknote, her eyes were red but she didn't let the tears fall.

On the way back home, Li Shuangwan was sitting in the carriage with a lot on his mind. Yizhu and Roman exchanged glances several times, but they couldn't make out what they meant.

When passing by a house, Li Shuangwan suddenly lifted the curtain as if possessed by a ghost, and the words "Gu Mansion" came into view.

"Stop the car." Li Shuangwan suddenly spoke.

The two maids were startled, and Yi Zhu asked in surprise: "Princess, what's wrong?"

Li Shuangwan didn't know what was going on. The moment the words "Gu Mansion" came into her eyes, Gu Xingyan's tall figure jumped into her mind.

"Who lives here?"

Yizhu and Luoman naturally didn't know.

Chen Ping, who was walking beside the carriage, said, "Princess, this was bought by a wealthy businessman from Jiangnan a few days ago. They bought all these houses and connected them together. It was a big deal."

Li Shuangwan felt something strange in his mind, and he always felt that something was wrong.

As soon as she entered the door, Li Shuangwan asked Bian Yizhu to fetch the map of Shengjing. She looked at it carefully, bit by bit, and finally figured out where the strangeness came from.

On the surface, the Gu Mansion is very far away from the Hengwang Mansion, but for those who are skilled in martial arts, it only takes a few steps to cross it.

Therefore, the person living in this "Gu Mansion" must be Gu Xingyan.

Li Shuangwan had just ordered Yizhu to roll up the map and put it away when Zhou Caiyao came over with her maid Xueer.

As soon as she saw Li Shuangwan, she quickly took two steps to her and said, "Sister, did you go to the He Mansion?"

Li Shuangwan sat down, poured himself a glass of water, drank it slowly, and then said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

Zhou Caiyao sat down opposite her and said, "Sister, how can you go? What the old lady of the He family did today is obviously forcing the emperor to deal with his own son! If you still go along and get involved, won't you also put the General's Mansion on the fire?"

She just didn't understand. Li Shuangwan was not stupid. She knew such a simple truth. How could Li Shuangwan not understand?

Did she do it on purpose?

Yes, it must be intentional.

The Emperor hated the General's Mansion, and no matter how great the achievements of the Li couple were on the battlefield, the aristocratic families in Shengjing City would definitely stay away from it.

Therefore, Li Shuangwan was targeting her, so that those noble ladies would not come to the General’s Mansion to propose marriage to her!

Oh, you married well and became a princess, but you don't want your younger sister to find a good marriage. You are so narrow-minded, Li Shuangwan, you are too shameless.

Li Shuangwan gently placed the teacup in his hand on the table and looked at Zhou Caiyao: "Sister, is this what you came to see me for?"

Zhou Caiyao looked unhappy: "Isn't this a big deal? Sister, father is also a general, and he has a large army under his command. What do you think the emperor will think? I'm afraid no one in the noble families of Shengjing City dares to have any dealings with the General's Mansion anymore."

Li Shuangwan's face darkened: "Ayao, these words came out of your mouth and entered my ears. This is the only time, and you are not allowed to mention it again!"

Li Shuangwan raised his eyelids and looked at her coldly.

Zhou Caiyao felt terrified when she looked at her, and felt embarrassed as if she was being suppressed.

"I have something to do. If you have nothing else to say, please go back first."

Zhou Caiyao had a lot of words in her heart when she came, but they were forced into her throat. She bit her lip, stood up and left.

Returning to Yunmeng Courtyard where she lived, Zhou Caiyao was so angry that she swept the blue and white tea set with twined branch patterns on the table to the ground.

Porcelain pieces flew all over the room.

This set of tea set was worth a hundred taels, something she had never dared to imagine before.

However, in just one month, she smashed it to pieces.

Xue'er advised in a low voice: "Miss Yao, please don't be angry. The princess was raised by the general and his wife since she was a child. She naturally knows the seriousness of the matter. She must be, ah..."

"Pah." A slap was thrown on Xue'er's face. "Who do you think you are? How dare you mock me for being abandoned? Are you a country girl?"

Xue'er's face swelled up in an instant, and Zhou Caiyao's sharp nails left several bloody marks on her face.

She knelt down and said, "No, that's not what I meant. Please spare my life, Miss Yao."

Zhou Caiyao was still not satisfied and kicked Xue'er in the stomach: "Get lost!"

Xue'er had her period these past two days, and after being kicked like that, the pain made her curl up into a ball, her face pale and cold sweat rolling down her cheeks.

She struggled to get up from the ground, holding on to the wall and moving out little by little.

Zhou Caiyao sat at the table, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt more and more unwilling to accept it. She had finally climbed up the big tree of the General's Mansion, and she couldn't let Li Shuangwan, that stupid woman, ruin it.

At this moment, a woman's voice was heard: "Is Miss Yao here?"

Zhou Caiyao frowned. Butler Luo only arranged a servant named Xue'er for her, who was useless and not on the same page with her.

"Who are you?" Zhou Caiyao saw an old woman in her forties, wearing a gray double-breasted short jacket and with a few strands of white hair at her temples, walking towards her. She hurried outside and blocked the door.

Nanny Zhao put on a fake smile, walked forward, and knelt down: "I am the princess's wet nurse. It is normal for Miss Yao not to recognize me. I just came back from my hometown."

Zhou Caiyao glanced at her face and said, "It's Aunt Zhao. Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
