As the coachman went to knock on the door.
The moment Jiang Luoxi jumped off the carriage.
A carriage not far away, having left, returned.
And saw the scene before their eyes.
Acha exclaimed, "Miss, it really is Miss Jiang!"
Yun Shu's lips curved into a faint smile.
Just as she had expected.
The servants of the Prime Minister's mansion were also surprised to hear Jiang Luoxi announce her name, but they still let her in.
Later, someone in the crowd praised Jiang Luoxi for her beauty and kindness. At this time, when everyone was avoiding the Prime Minister's mansion, Jiang Luoxi came to offer charcoal in the snow.
They also said it was a pity that Prime Minister Jiang did not acknowledge Jiang Luoxi.
Hearing these remarks, Yun Shu couldn't help but laugh, "A good tactic. You are clearly at a disadvantage, yet you pave your own way by stepping on human blood steamed buns."
"Miss, what does 'human blood steamed buns' mean?" Acha scratched her clever little head.
"Human blood steamed buns roughly means being despicable, showing yourself by stepping on others to achieve your goals," Yun Shu explained simply.
Acha, always intelligent, understood after a brief explanation and immediately nodded, "Miss is absolutely right. Jiang Luoxi's methods to achieve her goals are too insidious. She can even use her own family."
Yun Shu raised an eyebrow, "Perhaps she never considered the people in the Prime Minister's mansion as her family. Similarly, the people in the Prime Minister's mansion might never have considered her as family."
Acha's eyes widened, and she instantly understood.
Indeed, it was like that.
The eldest daughter of the Jiang family was originally unrelated to this matter, but Jiang Luoxi ruined her reputation to avoid damaging her own name. "It's clear that Jiang Luoxi will do anything to achieve her goals. Miss, we must be careful in the future. This servant always feels that Miss Jiang will have other tricks up her sleeve."
"My Acha is getting smarter and smarter," Yun Shu praised Acha with a smile.
It had to be said that Acha was already very intelligent, and with more people she met and more experiences she had, Acha's changes were immense.
Many times, with just a glance, Acha could understand what she was thinking.
Acha blushed upon hearing this, "Miss!"
"Girls change a lot as they grow, Acha is growing up and blushes when a few words are spoken," Yun Shu sighed.
Acha blushed even more, "This servant is simply not good with praise."
Looking at the bustling traffic outside the carriage, she felt a sense of unreality, this was what it felt like to be alive.
Miss was by her side.
She also had Xiao Jing and the others around her.
And Yu Le.
And Jing Heng.
Yun Shu glanced outside. They should be arriving at the Gu mansion soon.
Suddenly, her gaze paused slightly.
A master and servant couple, who had just passed by and entered a teahouse, the back of the young woman was very familiar.
She seemed to have seen her somewhere before.
"Miss, what's wrong? Does Miss want to go to the teahouse?" Seeing Yun Shu deep in thought, Acha was curious. She followed Yun Shu's gaze, but only saw a teahouse with people constantly entering.
Yun Shu shook her head, "It's nothing, I must have seen wrongly."
"Does Miss think she saw someone she knows?" Acha looked carefully again. Many people were coming and going in front of the door, and she didn't seem to recognize anyone.
Yun Shu smiled faintly and withdrew her gaze, "It probably wasn't."
Just now, the figure of the young woman reminded her strongly of Qian Le'er.
However, Qian Le'er was unmarried and could not have become a married woman.
It was just a bit strange. Since Qian Le'er was still alive, why hadn't she shown herself yet?
Yun Shu harbored doubts.
...
In the teahouse.
Qian Le'er entered a private room.
She sat by the window.
She ordered the best tea the teahouse had, and also ordered the tea and pastries that many people longed for.
Xiao Cui poured tea for Qian Le'er and said, "Madam, the Heir has not visited you for two days. Has something happened?"
Qian Le'er pursed her lips, frowning slightly, and shook her head, "If the Heir had nothing to do, he would not have gone two days without seeing me. Something must have happened, and he is unable to get away."
Xiao Cui's heart fluttered, somewhat uncertain, "Could it be that the Marquis is preventing the Heir from leaving the mansion?"
Originally, Qian Le'er could still remain calm and didn't think too much about it. She was confident that Yi Zixing liked her.
Moreover, she believed that in Yi Zixing's heart, her position was irreplaceable, and even though everyone in the city used to say that Yi Zixing liked Yun Shu, she was not afraid now.
However, two days of absence truly made her worry that the Marquis of Zhongyong had used some method to trap Yi Zixing.
Clearly, Yi Zixing had been very determined before to marry her and give her a legitimate status.
But, two days ago, he suddenly said to wait, and marry her later.
She didn't know why he suddenly changed his mind. She couldn't force him, so she reluctantly agreed, saying she would wait for him no matter how long, even if she had no title, just an insignificant concubine without a name, she would be willing.
However, she was now panicked.
The longer she stayed in the capital, the more she understood the means and ruthlessness of the people in the capital, which was beyond her imagination.
Seeing Qian Le'er's unhappy expression, Xiao Cui quickly said again, "Madam, why don't I go to the Marquis's mansion to find the Heir? I'll say that Madam has been ill for the past two days."
Qian Le'er's eyes brightened, and she nodded in agreement, "Alright, after returning from the teahouse, you go to the Marquis's mansion."
When she saw Yi Zixing again, she would try every means to make him marry her into the Marquis's mansion.
She couldn't continue to be nameless like this.
Once she became the Heir's wife, she would appear before Prince Ye and Yun Shu and let them have a good look!
And...
If she wanted to survive, she had to make Yi Zixing marry her!
This was her only path, no other way.
...
In front of the Gu mansion.
As soon as Yun Shu jumped off the carriage and entered the mansion.
Her path was blocked.
A ferocious face stared at her.
"Was it you? Yun Shu, did you tell Gu Zhiruo nonsense, making her suspicious of me?!"
Qu Shujie's face was unshaven, his eyes fierce.
"What are you doing? How dare you be rude!" Acha quickly stood in front of Yun Shu and reprimanded him.
Yun Shu looked at Qu Shujie with cold eyes, "Scram."
Qu Shujie's eyes widened, thinking he had misheard, "What did you say?!"
"You actually told me to scram? Yun Shu, do you think you can really marry Prince Ye? Prince Ye still hasn't betrothed you, perhaps he's already tired of you. Aren't you thinking about your future retreat, and yet you are being rude to me!" Qu Shujie said angrily.
Acha was furious, "Don't talk nonsense! You are not in Prince Ye's stomach, how do you know what Prince Ye is thinking? Get out of the way!"
Without Yun Shu's command, the furious Acha pushed Qu Shujie away.
After pushing him away, Acha was somewhat surprised. She had actually pushed him away so easily?
Had the martial arts she learned from Jing Heng during this time come in handy?
Yun Shu gave Acha a thumbs-up, "Well done."
"Yun Shu!" Qu Shujie was enraged.
At this moment, the gate opened.
Gu Zhiruo walked out from the mansion.
