At nightfall, the candles in Tinglan Garden were still burning.

Gu Yunxi was sitting at the table, fiddling with the embroidery pattern in her hand.

Longan came in and said: "Miss, it's time to have a rest, this maidservant will help you remove the hairpin first."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunxi looked up at the sky outside the window and said, "No hurry, just wait."

Seeing this, Longan didn't persuade her anymore, but added two pieces of silver charcoal to the charcoal basin.

Then sat aside, quietly accompanying Gu Yunxi.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a rush of footsteps in Tinglan Garden.

Hongzao opened the heavy curtain and walked in with an anxious face.

He whispered: "Miss something happened."

"What's the matter?"

Gu Yunxi's tone was very light, and she didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Seeing Gu Yunxi's indifferent look, Hongzao's anxious expression eased a bit.

"Miss, something happened to the Qi residence."

Hongzao explained: "After today's wedding ceremony, several relatives and friends from the Qi Mansion will go to the wedding room together."

"In the end, when I went to the new house, I found that the person inside was not the eldest lady."

"It's not Missy, who is that?" Longan asked suspiciously.

"It's Miss Yao." Hongzao said.

"Sister Yao?"

Although Gu Yunxi's tone was questioning, there was no hint of surprise on his face.

"Not only Miss Yao, but also Eldest Young Master and Biao Young Master." Hong Zao said.

"Really?" Gu Yunxi said, "It was really lively."

"It's more than lively." Hongzao said, "It's simply unsightly."

"As soon as the door is opened, dozens of pairs of eyes can clearly see the scene inside the house."

Hong Zao continued: "At that time the banquet had not yet ended, and the fact that the prime minister's daughter had an affair with someone in the wedding room of the Qi mansion has already been rumored, and everyone knows about it."

"The Prime Minister's Mansion has lost face this time." Gu Yunxi said.

In fact, since Lin Yiyao deliberately snubbed her today, she guessed that Lin Yiyao would definitely make a move today.

Because Lin Yiyao was creating an illusion for Yao Yurou.

That is, after these two months, Lin Yiyao seemed to have discovered something.

He began to believe that Yao Yurou was innocent, and that the real murderer might be her, Gu Yunxi.

Although Lin Yiyao didn't say much, she couldn't help Yao Yurou's suspicious nature.

In addition, this matter is the biggest stain on Yurou's body, she wants to get rid of the suspicion and restore her reputation.

Naturally, she couldn't wait to find Lin Yiyao to confirm, so she fell into Lin Yiyao's scheme.

Treating her body in the same way as a person is very in line with Lin Yiyao's character.

It's just that Yao Yurou may not be as lucky as Lin Yiyao this time.

"Miss, would you like to visit Qi's mansion?"

As soon as Hongzao finished speaking, Qiu's mother's eager voice came from outside the door.

"Second Miss, Second Miss, this old slave has something to ask to see."

"Mother Qiu, please come in."

Gu Yunxi's voice spread outside the house, and Qiu's mother hurried into the house.

Without even taking a breath, he hurriedly said:

"Second Miss, hurry up and go to the Qi Mansion with the slaves, something has happened to the Qi Mansion."

"What happened? Mom is so anxious?" Gu Yunxi asked pretending not to know.

"Lao Nu will explain to Second Miss on the way, and ask Second Miss to leave first." Qiu's mother said.

Gu Yunxi didn't delay any longer when she heard the words, and directly followed Qiu's mother into the carriage to Qi's mansion.

In the carriage, Mother Qiu told Gu Yunxi what happened today.

The matter is roughly the same as what Hongzao said, except that Qiu's mother said it in more detail.

For example, when she was discovered, Yao Yurou was completely naked, without even a bellyband to hide her shame.

For another example, Yao Yurou not only lost her body, but also lost her body to two men at the same time.

"Second Miss is a young lady who has not left the cabinet, so she shouldn't be involved in such dirty things."

Qiu's mother continued: "But this matter involves the prime minister's residence. The old lady is thinking about the identity of the second lady. It doesn't hurt to listen to it."

With a few simple words from Qiu's mother, Gu Yunxi immediately understood what the old lady meant.

Prime Minister Yao is Lin Pingkang's superior. The so-called official rank crushes people to death.

The old lady was afraid that the Prime Minister would take the opportunity to attack the Shangshu Mansion, and wanted to use her identity to suppress the town.

It was Xu time when Gu Yunxi came to Qi Mansion, and the guests of Qi Mansion had already dispersed.

Two bright red lanterns with Chinese characters for happiness hung high above the door.

In the cold winter night, it glows a faint red, and it looks very quiet.

As soon as Gu Yunxi and Qiu's mother stepped into the front door of Qi Mansion, they saw the outside of the main hall.

A figure was pacing back and forth, and when he approached, he realized that this person was Mrs. Qi.

When Mrs. Qi saw Gu Yunxi, she was as enthusiastic as ever.

"Second Miss Lin is here, come into the room to warm up." Mrs. Qi said.

"Thank you ma'am."

After Gu Yunxi thanked Mrs. Qi, she walked into the house.

Mrs. Qi looked at Gu Yunxi's figure, and thought that it was a good thing that Miss Lin was chosen as the princess regent that day.

As long as he has this level of identity, the prime minister will not dare to mess around today.

Otherwise, he would hand over his handle to the regent king.

The main hall of Qi Mansion is not big, the old lady sat on the main seat, closed her eyes and meditated.

The Grand Master and the Grand Madam sat on the right side of the old lady.

Master Qi, Qi Sheng and Lin Yiyao sat on the left hand side of the old lady in turn.

As for Lin Yuchuan and Li Yanjun, of course they knelt on the ground obediently.

Gu Yunxi was still wondering why Yao Yurou was not seen alone.

The next moment, I saw her in a backlit corner.

She was wearing an ill-fitting dress, sitting on a chair, her eyebrows lowered.

Although I couldn't see the expression on her face, I could feel her depression.

It may be that Gu Yunxi's gaze stayed for too long, Yao Yurou slowly raised her head as if aware of it.

A pair of scarlet eyes were full of unwillingness and resentment the moment they saw Gu Yunxi.

She was unwilling to be seen as a joke by a concubine.

He was even more unwilling to be trampled into a puddle of mud and become filthy.

But she resented God even more, why did she have to fight against her in everything.

She managed to get rid of Princess Chaoyun, but in the end, another Lin Xi came.

As if he was born against her, he pushed her into desperation again and again.

Gu Yunxi has long been used to Yao Yurou's resentful gaze.

She looked back calmly and walked towards the old lady.

"Grandmother." Gu Yunxi said softly.

Upon hearing this, the old lady opened her closed eyes, and her frowning brows relaxed a little.

"Sit down first." The old lady said.

"Ah."

Gu Yunxi sat down on the lower side of the eldest lady, and the person sitting opposite was Lin Yiyao.

Lin Yiyao was drinking tea leisurely, with a very calm expression on her face.

Sensing Gu Yunxi's eyes on her, she asked kindly:
"Second sister, would you like to have a drink?"

Gu Yunxi did not refuse: "Then thank you, big sister."

Lin Yiyao seemed to be in a good mood, poured a glass for Gu Yunxi herself, and handed it to the maid Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang presented the hot tea in her hand to Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi took it and took a sip.

She sighed, "Big sister's tea is really good tea."

Lin Yiyao heard the words, and said very generously: "If Second Sister likes it, I will give Second Sister some later."

"Then sister is here, thank you first sister." Gu Yunxi said.

Before Gu Yunxi finished her cup of tea, she saw the prime minister and his wife walking quickly into the hall.
