Chapter 375 Let's see who ends up disgraced!
"Master, please forgive me, I have other matters to attend to. Let's chat again when I have time. Excuse me."
Gu Qingyue had a bad feeling.
She suddenly felt as if the old monk could see right through her!
He knew he was a woman!
There was another feeling that made her scalp tingle even more, which was that Gu Qingyue felt as if he could see through her and knew that she was an old ghost who had been resurrected!
His gaze, though not sharp, revealed a penetrating understanding that saw through everything, making Gu Qingyue feel a little uneasy.
A voice inside her said: Just run!
So she closed her fan, bowed slightly, and quickly slipped away.
Even as Gu Qingyue ran away, the old monk still smiled compassionately.
He stood with his hands behind his back, not annoyed.
Gu Qingyue ran a long way before she regained her composure.
Having been in this world for several years, that moment just now was the one that made her feel most guilty.
She didn't even know why she was running.
Even if her arrival here was fate, she still felt guilty, after all, she had borrowed someone else's body.
Because of the old monk's words, "Please be merciful," she eventually changed her mind.
Gu Qingyue thought for a moment, found a young monk to lead the way, and swaggered into the pilgrim's room, sharing the same courtyard with that Cheng Anbo Lin Zizhan.
After closing the door, Gu Qingyue sat down at the table and instantly released her mental energy.
The Earl of Cheng was in the room, along with two men who looked like servants.
"My lord, everything is ready, we're just waiting for the right moment," a servant whispered.
The Earl of Cheng'an lay languidly on the couch. "That Qin woman is quite something. She has a good figure and is stunningly beautiful. I'm even finding it hard to make a move on her."
“Lord, please be careful with your words. The Prince has demanded that the Qin family and the Duke of Zhenguo’s mansion be held accountable. You cannot be soft-hearted,” another servant said in a low voice, somewhat wary.
Upon hearing this, Lin Zizhan's face immediately darkened.
"Hmph! This time, Prince An has really put me in a difficult position. I've offended the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. He'd better protect the Marquis of Cheng'an's mansion, or else he won't blame me for fighting to the death."
He wouldn't dare to ruin Qin's reputation and cause the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to lose face, even if he had a hundred lives.
But Prince An has something on him, otherwise...
He felt quite guilty thinking about Prince An's threat.
Of course, he wouldn't know that the Qin woman at Ci'en Temple was an imposter, and that the real 'Qin woman' had been sent to the mountain villa by the Liu family.
The fake Qin family member at Ci'en Temple was arranged by Liu San, a member of the Liu family, and the fake guards were from the Prince An's mansion.
Gu Qingyue finally understood.
Since Liu had already had 'Qin' arrested, why did she arrange for a fake Qin to be sent to the temple?
First, it would simply mean that Qin would be humiliated and abused to death by the servants in the manor to satisfy her perverse desires, but the downside is that she would die silently, and the people wouldn't know, so her reputation wouldn't be completely ruined.
Therefore, the second one came about.
Secondly, she arranged for someone to impersonate Qin Shi and appear at Ci'en Temple, where they would have an affair in front of the Princess and Princess Pei, ruining their reputation and causing them to commit suicide out of shame.
At this point, Qin's reputation was ruined, and she was dead.
The common people didn't care where she died; they only knew that Qin couldn't stand the loneliness at Ci'en Temple and went to have an affair, got caught, and was disgraced!
At this point, Lady Liu could step forward and, in the name of the Crown Prince's wife, turn the tide with righteous indignation, thus elevating her reputation to a new level.
As for the reputation of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion? In a few years, who will even remember Qin's affair?
The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion still stands strong!
Gu Qingyue stroked her chin. This intricate chain of events seemed beyond the comprehension of Liu Shi.
If Prince An's hatred for the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion were added to the equation, then it would be very possible.
Therefore, a third one was created.
Third, Princess Qing'an was tricked by them, so Prince An naturally wanted to retaliate. In addition, killing Qin Shi was also at the request of someone behind the scenes... It all made sense.
They hit it off immediately with the Liu family!
As for Lin Zizhan in front of us, ha! He's just a fool being used by Prince An!
He didn't even know that the 'Qin' in the temple was a fake.
Since that's the case, then don't blame her for being the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
Let's return to the guest house, Lin Zizhan.
No matter how dissatisfied Lin Zizhan was, he dared not disobey Prince An's orders.
Fine, since Prince An promised to protect the Marquis of An's mansion afterward, he came with a heavy heart.
Although it was Prince An's order, the thought of the woman and the fan stirred a burning desire within him.
"Hmph! So what if I did it! It's just a woman!"
Lin Zizhan snorted coldly.
The two servants were so frightened that they dared not breathe, keeping their heads down in silence.
Gu Qingyue's face was so black it looked like ink could drip from it.
When Yu Mo knocked on the door and came in, she saw Gu Qingyue's gloomy expression.
"Master," Yu Mo lowered her voice, "the family members of the Marquis of Cheng'an have arrived and are staying in the last courtyard, so the Marquis of Cheng'an didn't see them."
"Very good," Gu Qingyue said, adjusting her mood.
She must not lose her composure now; "have someone keep an eye on them, they will be of great use later."
"Yes," Yu Mo raised his eyes and looked at the girl's profile. She now looked like a boy, her eyes revealing a chilling coldness that made one's scalp tingle, and her whole being was as gloomy as a cold pool.
"Master, is something not going well in the front yard?"
"Leave the people in the front yard for now. Send a few people to keep them at bay. What about those imposters pretending to be guards of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion in the back yard?" Gu Qingyue turned her head.
Yu Mo moved slightly closer, "We've been keeping a close eye on him, just waiting to see when Lin Zizhan will make his move."
"Lin Zizhan should have dealt with them before he made a move. They've had enough of living as guards of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion. What about 'Madam'?" Gu Qingyue asked.
Don't blame her for being ruthless. These people are Prince An's henchmen. If they aren't eliminated, what if the plan doesn't go smoothly?
“Yes, she went to the main hall to listen to the sermon and just returned to the guest courtyard. We have someone keeping an eye on her.” Yu Mo thought for a moment and then asked, “Should we proceed as planned?”
Gu Qingyue pondered for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before nodding.
"Go with the original plan and have Yueqian do it. Make sure to change the 'Madam's' appearance and add some powder. Make sure there are no flaws," Gu Qingyue decided.
Wasn't the plan to have that woman dress up as Qin Shi to seduce Lin Zizhan?
Do you want to ruin the Qin family's reputation and make them die of shame?
Prince An and Lady Liu are truly cunning!
Let's see who ends up disgraced!
"Yes," Yu Mo quietly left the room.
Prince An's Mansion? Lady Liu? Earl of Cheng'an?
Hehe, very good.
Suddenly, a commotion arose in the courtyard.
Gu Qingyue slowly walked out the door with her hands behind her back.
It turned out that someone was announcing that the Eldest Princess and Princess Pei had arrived.
As the people who had just been near the various rooms hurried out of the courtyard, Gu Qingyue's eyes turned slightly cold.
finally reached.
After having a vegetarian meal at noon, Gu Qingyue waited quietly in her room. She heard that the prayer ceremony for the Eldest Princess and Princess Pei would begin in the afternoon and continue for three days and three nights without interruption.
At that time, all pilgrims can kneel and pray in the main hall.
Therefore, Lin Zizhan will either make his move after the afternoon Dharma assembly begins, or late at night tonight when all is quiet; he won't wait until tomorrow.
