Chapter 43 2 men and 1 woman
Gu Qingwan had put in a lot of effort to make the Second Prince's residence more lively. She was always thinking that she should bring more people next time. It was too tiring for one person to do so much. As soon as Siqi returned, Gu Qingwan told her not to take off her clothes and to go and wake up the little maid from before.
Sure enough, the little maid was extremely nervous after waking up. She didn't see Siqi's appearance in person, but seeing that she was wearing the clothes of the prince's residence, she immediately felt that she was one of her own.
"Let's hurry and tell the princess."
"Oh? That's not good... What if..." The little maid sobbed, because she was scared too.
"Are you stupid? If Miss Meng is really harmed by bad people, our Prince's Mansion will be in deep trouble. When the investigation comes, you will also suffer." Siqi tempted her in her ear.
"But if I tell anyone, Miss Meng will recognize me..."
"You're silly. If we call for reinforcements in time, that would be making amends." Seeing the maid hesitate, Siqi quickly added fuel to the fire, "Don't think about it, I'll go with you."
"But..." Before the little maid could finish speaking, Siqi pulled her away.
"But what but? If I hadn't arrived in time, you would probably have been silenced. You may not care about your own life or death, but you still have family. Quickly tell the Princess Consort, at least the villains won't dare to make any more moves."
Upon hearing the news of murder to silence witnesses, the young maid panicked. Without waiting for Siqi to pull her along, she immediately lifted her skirt and ran towards the prince's consort's location.
Upon hearing that someone was plotting against Miss Meng of the Marquis of Yongyi's family, the old lady immediately became restless. The second prince's wife didn't hesitate either, leading her entourage out. The eldest and second princesses, naturally, didn't miss out on this gossip and followed their sister-in-law to see what was going on.
Gu Qingwan and Meng Yanran hid in the shadows. Gu Qingwan had just given Meng Yanran a Hundred Fragrances Detoxification Pill and were waiting for Meng Yanran to recover when they saw the Second Prince's Consort leading a large group of people coming from not far away.
The Second Prince's Consort led the way, followed by the First Princess, the Second Princess, and the Third Princess, along with the little maid who had just delivered the message. Meanwhile, Old Madam Meng, leaning on her cane, anxiously walked towards the small pavilion.
As they approached the door, they heard the soft moans of a woman inside. Ladies, you're all experienced women, what don't you understand?
The eldest princess blushed upon hearing this.
"Sister-in-law, I'm taking my sisters back first. We've been out for quite a while, and Mother must be getting worried."
"Yes, yes, Anqing, you should take your sisters back to the palace. I do have some things to take care of here."
The eldest princess took the third princess's hand and prepared to go back. Everyone quickly made way for them, but the second princess refused to go back.
"Go back if you want. I want to see who dares to cause trouble on the Prince's territory."
Before anyone could react, the second princess rushed forward in a flurry.
"Changping!" The Second Prince's wife shouted and chased after her, but in the end she was no faster than the Second Princess.
The second princess kicked the door open, and the smell inside immediately hit them. The ladies of the house covered their mouths with handkerchiefs. The second princess stared at it and her eyes widened.
"Brother?" Gu Hanjiao saw her brother standing there, disheveled with rouge on his lips, his outer robe on the table, his inner garment half-removed, leaving him only in his undergarment.
Without saying a word, the second princess stepped forward, pulled up Gu Hanjiao, and slapped her across the face.
"You shameless woman! How dare you seduce my brother!"
"what!"
The Second Princess's slap was delivered with full force, instantly waking Gu Hanjiao and drawing blood from her mouth. Hearing the Second Princess's insults, the Third Prince also became more aware of what had happened, especially after seeing so many people standing at the door.
The Third Prince stepped forward to help Gu Hanjiao up and helped her put her clothes back on so she wouldn't look so disheveled.
The Prime Minister's wife squeezed through the crowd and, upon seeing her beloved daughter, immediately screamed and rushed over.
"My child! What happened to you? Who harmed you!" He hugged Gu Hanjiao and quickly put his clothes on her. If Gu Hanjiao still didn't understand what was going on at this time, she must have been out of her mind. She had obviously been tricked.
However, she was being too simplistic.
When Madam Meng saw that it wasn't her granddaughter, she felt much more at ease. Madam Ning supported her from the side, and the two exchanged a glance before leaving. This was a private matter of the royal family, and it was best not to know too much.
"Sister-in-law, I..." Before the Third Prince could finish explaining, the Second Prince's wife noticed a belt draped over the side of the screen. She was very familiar with this belt; she had personally tied it for the Second Prince that morning.
The Second Prince's Consort thought to herself, "What a Gu Hanjiao! She seems so innocent, yet she's so dissolute. How could the Second Prince be involved? This matter absolutely cannot be known to everyone. Before anyone discovers the Second Prince, I must quickly get everyone to leave."
"No one should stay here anymore. Quickly go out and find another place. Yuheng, you need to explain this to the Prime Minister's wife. Someone, help Miss Gu with her makeup."
The maids in the mansion stepped forward to help the Second Miss Gu. The Second Prince's Consort was about to leave with her entourage, but fate had other plans. At that moment, a man's groaning came from behind the screen.
Did no one expect things to be so chaotic? Everyone knew it was impolite to look like this, but they couldn't help but stare wide-eyed inside.
A man emerged from behind the screen, his face flushed, hair disheveled, clothes in disarray, and barefoot.
"The Second Prince?" everyone blurted out.
The Second Prince's wife was so angry that she wanted to go up and slap the Second Prince as well.
Gu Hanjiao was stunned and forgot to cry. She stared at the Second Prince. What? How come there was someone else in this room? It was all her fault for being so preoccupied with other things and not checking the room.
What should we do? If it were just the Third Prince, it would be fine, but now there are three disheveled people in this house!
Seeing the chaotic situation, Madam Meng couldn't help but worry about where her granddaughter had run off to. Not only Madam Meng, but Madam Ning was also worried.
At this moment, Gu Qingwan secretly led Meng Yanran in from behind the crowd. Seeing the puzzled look in Madam Meng's eyes, Meng Yanran shook her head. At this point, what else could Madam Meng not understand? So she stepped forward to speak.
"Second Prince's Consort, I have matters to attend to at home, so I will take Yanran back with me."
As soon as Madam Meng got up, the other ladies also came to their senses. They realized it was best to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible, so they all took their leave.
The Second Prince's wife's feigned politeness vanished completely. She waved her hand, and the maids in the mansion quickly saw the guests off.
"You can't leave! You can't leave!" Gu Hanjiao screamed at this moment. If she left, the royal family might secretly execute her. How could the royal family allow someone who tarnished the royal family's reputation to live?
Gu Hanjiao clearly remembered that she was scheming against Meng Yanran, but now it all turned into her own scheme!
"Meng Yanran, you can't leave! It's you! You're the one who ruined me!"
"Miss Gu, please watch your words!" Old Madam Meng tapped the floor with her cane. "My Yongyi Marquis's Mansion is not to be trifled with! You must have evidence to back up your words!"
"Yes, yes," the others echoed.
Gu Hanjiao bit her lip but couldn't speak. She couldn't very well say that she was worried that the Imperial Concubine would choose Miss Meng, who had military power, and thus plotted to harm Miss Meng and the Second Prince. But it was true that she had asked Chunlu to find someone to lure Meng Yanran out. She just didn't expect that damned girl Chunlu.
As she was thinking, Gu Hanjiao secretly pinched Chunlu hard where no one could see. Chunlu cried out in pain but dared not say anything.
