In Kyoto, there was no smile on the face of the old Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty.
He took the letter he had just received and turned away everyone.
When he saw clearly what was written in the letter, his face became more and more gloomy.
When Qin gave birth, in order not to keep the adulterous child, he bribed the midwife and told her that the baby was dead and had her throw it into a mass grave.
Everything was going well, but who would have thought that the baby girl whose body was supposed to be dead and rotten would appear in front of him again many years later.
He was able to identify Gu Qingyuan as the baby girl back then, but he relied on the hairpin.
The midwife once brought the baby girl to him and let him take a look.
Who would have thought that the abandoned orphan girl not only survived, but also married Pei Jinting.
The old Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty burned the letter in his hand, and a sinister look gradually appeared in his eyes.
The midwife who bribed her took the money and left Kyoto after the incident was completed. She was too kind at that time, so she should not have been allowed to leave alive.
Now people are looking for traces of her, but they can't find any information at all.
If he really disappears, forget it, I'm afraid someone with an intention will find him.
You have to think of a way to do it.
There is no room for mercy or neglect in this matter.
That girl must be killed.
Now I just hope that there will be some news from Lu Wenze. If Lu Wenze is a coward and cannot bear to take action because of his past friendship, he still has options.
October 18th was Qin Lu's birthday. Perhaps in order to get rid of the disaster caused by the pavilion of Qinglong Temple, the mansion held a birthday banquet for her, which was very grand.
On this day, the Qin Mansion was extremely lively.
Qin Lu was wearing a gold-painted red dress with tulle on her face, and was surrounded like stars over the moon.
Even though the Qin family doesn't have many officials in the court now, their elder brother Qin Rongjun is the headmaster of Songhe Academy, and Concubine Lu in the palace was from the Qin family in the past.
Therefore, there are still many people who want to curry favor with the Qin family.
In the waterside pavilion, there were thick curtains all around to block the cool breeze. Qin Lu was sitting at the top. The corners of her eyes that used to be lowered were now raised with joy.
However, when her eyes passed over Gu Qingyuan, she paused for a moment.
"Sister Ayuan, please have fun today and don't be formal."
He completely put himself in the position of the host and treated her like an ordinary foreign guest.
Gu Qingyuan nodded lightly. Qin Lu had been constantly running into obstacles with her these days, but she didn't show any signs of skipping a beat.
Everything is so peaceful.
She knew Qin Lu was the one who drugged her, but she couldn't find any definite evidence right now.
Pei Jinting secretly sent someone to arrest and question the maid who poured the wine that day, but she didn't know anything about it.
The wine was sent by the big kitchen. That day, everyone in the mansion was busy celebrating the reunion.
I checked over and over again, but couldn't find anything to do with it.
That means someone outside the kitchen took advantage of the chaos and tampered with the drinks.
Some of the poison in her body still remained and had not completely faded away. In the afternoon, Gu Qingyuan thought of leaving first.
Qin Lu repeatedly tried to persuade her to stay, "Sister Ayuan, aren't you happy about these rare happy days? Are you leaving so early because you look down on the girls from our small town and don't want to be with us?"
As soon as she spoke, everyone's eyes turned to her.
Qin Xiang, who had never been talkative, heard the aggressiveness in Qin Lu's words and immediately smoothed things over.
"Sister Ayuan, the fifth sister has invited a famous theater troupe from Rencheng to come here today. Why don't you stay and watch the show before leaving? Grandma also said today that the sisters should take it easy and relax, so there is no need to leave in a hurry."
Gu Qingyuan smiled and sat back on the chair.
After she sat down, Qin Xiang, who was sitting next to her, whispered in her ear,
"Sister Ayuan, the fifth sister's temperament has never been like this before. Don't take it seriously. She means what she says but doesn't mean it. Please forgive me, sister."
Qin Xiang's temperament seems shy, but he is very organized when he speaks.
Gu Qingyuan glanced at her and smiled,
"They are all our sisters. They won't do it."
When Qin Lu saw Qin Xiang and Gu Qingyuan whispering, her face immediately turned red with anger, but she was still angry, and it was not easy to lose her temper on such a day.
He originally wanted to use Mrs. Lu to try to impress Gu Qingyuan, but he didn't know that it was actually a fool's errand, and his identity was revealed by Gu Qingyuan in no time.
A concubine, no matter how confident she is, and she is not a palace concubine, how can she be different from Gu Qingyuan.
If Qin Lu initially just didn't want Gu Qingyuan to marry her brother and become her sister-in-law, after discovering that she was hooking up with Guard Pei, she wanted to destroy Gu Qingyuan.
Especially after the fall in the pavilion, not only did Gu Qingyuan not be hurt, but she was hurt. It can be said that the loss was heavy.
The more Qin Lu thought about it, the more upset she became, and she began to silently calculate how to expose Gu Qingyuan's ugly face to the public to vent her hatred.
Today's banquet was attended not only by the female relatives of each family, but also by many handsome unmarried children in Rencheng. Some accompanied their parents to the banquet, and some escorted the female relatives.
At this moment, we are also forming a circle, painting in a pavilion not far away.
Coupled with the coquettish prince Jing, the men's side was also very lively.
The girls here, once their eyes move over, they don't know who to fall on. They are really spoiled for choice.
However, the ones who attracted the most attention were undoubtedly Prince Jing and the guard beside him.
Even though Prince Jing is so handsome, he still can't resist the aura of that guard.
He stood there with his eyes casually cast and his posture leisurely, like white mountains and black waters. It was a painting with him as the center.
Gu Qingyuan had not seen him since the day before yesterday. When she saw him now, her blood became hot and she couldn't help but want to get closer to him.
Pei Jinting stood next to Prince Jing, holding a wine flask. His hands looked clean, white, slender and strong.
Holding the jasper wine flask, his fingers slightly touched the handle, which made him look a little more erotic.
From a distance, he met Gu Qingyuan's eyes, curled his lips slightly, and helped Prince Jing pour the wine more slowly.
In full view of the public, he was not afraid at all of others discovering his teasing.
Gu Qingyuan rolled up her handkerchief and restrained her eyes from looking at him. She was afraid that the joy for him in her eyes would be exposed.
She was even more afraid that once her eyes met his, they would become wet and entangled like a hemp rope, making it difficult to separate.
She knew that it was the lingering poison in her body that had not been cleared away. Now that the sun was setting, it was almost time to reveal it.
With her heart gnawing like ants, she stood up and hurriedly said to Qin Xiang,
"I'm going to the clean room to change."
Qin Xiang nodded obediently.
Her departure did not attract the attention of others, but made Qin Lu, who had been staring at her intentionally or unintentionally, alert.
Qin Lu subconsciously looked towards the pavilion in front, saw Pei Jinting who was still there, and breathed a sigh of relief.
But when she looked up again after saying a few words to the daughter of the prefect next to her, Pei Jinting disappeared.
It seems that the douchebag couple is hooking up again.
Qin Lu's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of sinisterness.
No matter how good the show is, how can it do without an audience?
She stood up and invited everyone to enjoy the night flowers together.
