If the palace investigates the matter later, she will push this ignorant man to the forefront. This way, she can not only get rid of Gu Qinlan, but also get rid of the vampire, killing two birds with one stone.
Gu Qinlan thought to herself: The Song family is really good at calculating!
After confirming that Song Bu'ren was unconscious, Gu Qinlan picked up the scissors she brought from the house and neatly cut his clothes into pieces.
After finishing the work, Gu Qinlan took out a small porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out a pill from it, and gently put it into Song Buren's mouth.
"bang bang bang"
There were three knocks on the gate, and then it was slowly pushed open, and Hongye entered silently like a ghost.
Gu Qinlan ordered: "OK, send him to Gu Qinlian's residence, and be careful not to let anyone notice."
Hongye easily carried Song Buren on her shoulders and climbed over the wall.
Gu Qinlan picked up the fan on the ground and waved it gently to bring herself a little coolness.
About a quarter of an hour later, the sound of footsteps gradually approached her courtyard.
Several ladies and their daughters, as well as the maids and old women who accompanied them, came to Gu Qinlan's yard in a mighty procession. Sheng Mimi and her mother, Madam Sheng, were also among them.
The maid who led the way said, "This courtyard was once the residence of the eldest lady. It is usually quite quiet and no one will disturb you. Ladies and young ladies, please take a rest here. I will prepare some sobering soup for you to sober up."
After saying this, the maid turned and left.
Madam Sheng and Sheng Mimi looked at each other, then ordered their maids, "Open the door, don't let everyone stand outside."
Mrs. Sheng had long heard about the turmoil in Gu Qinlian's courtyard, but instead of thinking that her daughter was being used by Gu Qinlian, she held a grudge against Gu Qinlan.
She knew her daughter's intentions very well. Moreover, she also hoped that her daughter could marry into the Prince Duan's mansion, so that the family's status could be improved. However, unexpectedly, such a good thing finally fell on Gu Qinlan's head.
What did Gu Qinlan rely on? She was born in a merchant family and even killed her own mother. With such a low status, even a slightly better family might not favor her!
Not only did he steal her daughter's dream husband, but today he also made her daughter so embarrassed. How could she bear this!
Therefore, when Song asked her to bring several wives of officials here, she agreed without hesitation.
She knew very well that the Song family was plotting against Gu Qinlan, and such tactics were common in the harem. She also understood why the Song family came to her, and even though she knew that she was being used as a pawn, she didn't care. After all, if this could go as she wished, her daughter would have another chance to marry into the noble Prince Duan's mansion.
So she was extremely enthusiastic and summoned all the wives of officials who could be mobilized.
The maid gently pushed open the gate, and Madam Sheng warmly invited the other ladies to come in: "Come on, let's go in together. It is said that the eldest daughter of the Gu family was a book lover before marriage. She stayed at home all day and indulged in the sea of books. The Gu family doted on her and collected countless rare books for her. All the ladies are elegant people, so why not explore together to see what precious books are hidden in the Gu Mansion."
As soon as she finished speaking, the ladies immediately became interested.
They may not really be book lovers, but who doesn't want to take this opportunity to get some elegance?
Everyone stepped into the courtyard, and just as they were enjoying the scenery there, a strange sound suddenly came from the main room.
The sound was like the swaying of a wooden frame, mixed with a woman's low and vague murmur.
Although the sound was not loud, everyone in the courtyard could hear it clearly.
In an instant, the expressions of several ladies changed drastically.
One of the ladies was even more blunt: "How dare they do such a shameful thing in broad daylight? How shameless!"
The girls all looked confused. What was wrong with the sound? Why did their mothers react so violently?
The girls' maids quickly put their hands over their ears and said, "My girls, don't listen. Don't let these dirty words pollute your ears."
The ladies had no intention of intervening in the dirty affairs of the house. After all, this was not their family's business, so why bother to meddle in other people's business? Besides, knowing more was not necessarily a blessing, so they immediately prepared to leave with their daughters.
However, Madam Sheng stopped them and said, "Please stay, don't leave in a hurry. I feel something is wrong. I seem to see the eldest daughter of the Gu family leave the table and go back to her room to change clothes. Then in this room..."
The faces of several ladies became uglier and uglier. "It's so shameful! Prince Zheng is serving the country at the frontier, and she dared to do such a thing that disgraces the family. She really should be tied up and thrown into a pig cage!"
Madam Sheng hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant! You ladies may not know that Miss Gu is a person of high character. She would never betray her husband. Therefore, I am worried that she might have met a bad person. Now that we have run into each other, we can't just stand by and watch Miss Gu's innocence being destroyed. We are all women, we should lend a hand and help her."
Her words were like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart, causing ripples of guilt.
Indeed, as women themselves, they know very well what kind of circumstances and hardships a woman will face if she loses her reputation.
Then, a noble lady said with emotion: "That's right. With so many of us joining forces to rescue Miss Gu, it can be considered a good deed."
After hearing this, the ladies were filled with excitement and agreed one after another, determined to save Gu Qinlan.
However, although they intended to save people, they did not plan to do it themselves, but instead commanded their maids and servants to work together to attack the door.
They originally thought that it would take a lot of strength to push the door open, but they didn't expect that the maids and servants would just touch it lightly and the door would open. Because they used too much force, they fell to the ground one after another.
The subtle sounds that inspired reverie in the house disappeared, replaced by a clear and pleasant female voice: "What are you doing?"
Everyone looked up and saw Gu Qinlan, dressed neatly, supporting himself on the edge of the bed with one hand, tilting his head to look at them curiously.
Madam Sheng rushed in and saw that Gu Qinlan was safe and sound. She couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Why are you fine?"
Gu Qinlan looked at her in confusion and asked, "Why would anything happen to me? I'm in my own home, in my own courtyard, what could possibly happen?"
When Mrs. Sheng saw that Gu Qinlan was safe and sound, she knew that the Song family's conspiracy had failed. She was about to find an excuse to smooth things over, but her daughter got there first.
Sheng Mimi was young and hot-tempered. She had just suffered a loss at the hands of Gu Qinlan not long ago, so she wanted revenge. So she shouted sharply: "Qinlan, where did you hide your old lover? Hand him over now!"
Gu Qinlan's expression suddenly changed, and she said sternly, "Ms. Sheng, you are talking nonsense! As a girl, how can you speak so rudely!"
