In her previous life, it was after she married into the Ji family that her uncle and his family reappeared in her life.

At that time, my uncle came to her house because his aunt was seriously ill and had no money to treat her. She did not hesitate and immediately helped their family get help, and with her help, they rose again.

Now, my uncle and his family have just returned from Lingnan, but my aunt is seriously ill again. This makes Gu Qinlan feel a little worried.

What should I do to help my uncle and his family get through this difficult time again?

She pondered secretly in her heart, and suddenly thought of Ling Biaotou of Longmen Escort Agency. They had an old friendship, and Ling Biaotou was a trustworthy person.

So, she decided to let Ling Biaotou go to find her uncle, which was the most reliable way!

Hong Ye followed Qin Lan's instructions and went to Longmen Escort Agency with the silver and the letter to find Ling Escort. Not long after, she returned to the mansion to report: "Miss, Ling Escort has returned the silver and promised to find your uncle. He said he would do his best."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, with a hint of relief in her eyes: "Hongye, you have worked hard. Ling Biaotou is a trustworthy person. I believe he will find my uncle."

Hongye looked at Gu Qinlan, secretly admiring her calmness and composure. She nodded slightly and said, "Miss, I have noticed the movements in Zhaixingyuan. Miss Gu Qinlan is planning to meet with Ji Yinli, and she seems very confident that she can attract his attention."

Gu Qinlan's eyes turned cold, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "She is always so confident, thinking that she can get everything with her beauty. Hongye, I want you to secretly monitor her and see what her plan is."

"Yes, Miss." Hongye accepted the order, with a hint of determination in her eyes.

Gu Qinlan looked at the red leaves and sighed in her heart.

Hongye was her most loyal maid and her most reliable friend. She patted Hongye's hand gently and said, "Hongye, you have to be careful. Gu Qinlian is not a simple person. She is very scheming. You must not take it lightly."

Hongye nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Miss, I will be careful."

In the Zhaixing Courtyard, Gu Qinlian was dressing herself up carefully.

She looked at herself in the mirror, a hint of pride flashing in her eyes.

Her beauty is her weapon and her asset.

She gently picked up a pearl flower, put it in her hair, and then admired it with satisfaction.

Ji Yinli, oh Ji Yinli, you will definitely surrender to me!

……

Three days later, Hongye rushed into the room and reported: "Miss, something terrible has happened! Miss Third and Ji Yinli were seen hugging each other in Qimo Pavilion. Now the whole Gu Mansion knows about it and it has spread like wildfire. The master is angry in the front yard and seems to want to severely punish Miss Third."

Gu Qinlan was playing a guqin by the window. When she heard the words, her fingers paused and the music stopped abruptly. She turned around, frowned slightly, and smiled.

I thought to myself: As expected.

Gu Qinlan narrowed her eyes, a hint of sharpness flashed across her brows: "Hongye, this matter is very serious, can you verify it clearly?"

Hongye said anxiously, "Miss, this is absolutely true. I heard that the one who saw them in Qimo Pavilion that day was the second young lady's personal maid Chun'er. After she went back, she exaggerated the story and told others about it, and the story spread more and more."

Gu Qinlan pondered for a moment, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "Hongye, what do you think is their purpose in doing this?"

Hongye frowned and said, "Miss, in my opinion, this matter is not that simple. Ji Yinli has never been a law-abiding person. And Gu Qinlian, although she is from the same house as us, she has a deep mind and is difficult to figure out."

Gu Qinlan nodded, with a trace of worry in her eyes: "Yes, there must be something fishy behind this. Hongye, go and find out if there is any other rumor behind this matter."

Hongye took the order and left, and Gu Qinlan sat alone in the room.

If this matter gets out of hand, not only will it affect Gu Qinlian's reputation, but the entire Gu family will be disgraced.

Soon, Hongye came back with a serious look on her face: "Miss, I have heard some news. It is said that someone is secretly fanning the flames behind this incident, trying to take the opportunity to suppress our Gu Mansion."

A cold light flashed in Gu Qinlan's eyes: "Hongye, do you know who is behind this?"

Hongye shook her head: "Miss, I haven't found out who it is yet. But this person obviously knows everything about the Gu Mansion. It seems that he is not an external enemy, but an internal person."

Gu Qinlan pondered for a moment and asked, "Hongye, is it true that no one from the Ji family is coming?"

Hongye bowed her head slightly and answered respectfully: "Yes, Miss. The people of the Ji family don't seem to care about this matter."

Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with doubt. She frowned and said thoughtfully, "This is strange. How could the Ji family ignore such a thing? Don't they know how much impact this will have on the reputation of the Ji family?"

Hongye sighed softly and said, "Maybe they know, but they just deliberately don't come to deal with it."

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. She said softly, "It seems that the Ji family wants to embarrass the Gu family. However, they seem to have forgotten that doing so will only make themselves a laughing stock."

Hongye looked at Gu Qinlan worriedly and asked cautiously, "Miss, what should we do now? The master is very angry, and the two maids around Miss San have been punished."

Gu Qinlan flicked her sleeves lightly and said calmly, "Since the Ji family won't come to deal with it, let Gu Qinlian solve it herself."

Hongye looked at Gu Qinlan in confusion and couldn't help asking, "Miss, how will they solve this problem?"

Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with cunning, she smiled slightly and whispered: "This matter needs to be solved from the inside. Hongye, do you know who the maid next to Gu Qinlian is?"

Hongye thought for a moment and replied, "The first-class maid beside Gu Qinlian is called Cuiying, she is a smart girl."

Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with admiration, and she said softly: "Yes, Cuiying is indeed a smart girl. Let's start with her and let the people of the Ji family know that our Gu family is not easy to bully."

A trace of worry flashed across Hongye's eyes. She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Miss, is this really possible? After all, Gu Qinlian and Ji Yinli's marriage is already a done deal."

Gu Qinlan smiled lightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes. She whispered, "Don't worry, Hongye. I know what to do with this matter. As long as we do it cleverly, we will definitely make them suffer the consequences."

After hearing this, Hongye felt a little comforted and nodded slightly to show that she understood.

Gu Qinlan knew without guessing that all of this was directed and acted by Gu Qinlian herself.

In order to embarrass the Ji family, she deliberately let the maids and servants spread rumors, and then pretended to be innocent, leaving Ji Yinli with nowhere to escape and he had no choice but to marry her!
