At night, the mansion became silent, with only candlelight lighting the road and the house where the discussion was taking place.

Qing Yu ran out from the backyard, jumped onto the house, quietly came to the top of Jiang Zhuo's room, and eavesdropped on their conversation.

"Dad, here is the list of people you asked me to prepare." Jiang Mo handed Jiang Zhuo a stack of papers covered with words.

"Okay." Jiang Zhuo flipped through it roughly.

"Dad, why are you so anxious to send Jiang Qingyu away?" Jiang Mo asked puzzled.

"Do you think His Majesty will believe my father's words?" Jiang Zhuo said with a mocking smile in his eyes.

"But so much time has passed, and Your Majesty hasn't asked about it again?" Jiang Mo thought that the matter had come to an end.

Jiang Zhuo put the paper aside and said, "Eunuch Li came to my house just to confirm whether Jiang Qingyu had really returned home. Do you think I can send her back to Huanxiang Pavilion in a short time?"

"If you can't go back to Huanxiang Pavilion, there's no need to rush. Haven't you found the most suitable candidate yet?"

Jiang Mo believed that although she could not marry a prince of another country like her elder sister, she could at least marry a powerful official and serve him as a concubine.

Jiang Zhuo thought, "Staying in Huanxiang Pavilion was Jiang Qingyu's job. Now that this opportunity is gone, I should find another use for her."

"She is now in Yongqing City and her reputation is spreading. This is a good time to take advantage of her. Once this opportunity passes, her value will be halved."

Jiang Mo suddenly realized and nodded frequently, "I see, then how can Father be sure that Jiang Qingyu will always be used by Father?"

What if she no longer obeys orders after she gets married? Wouldn't that be a problem?

"Haha, don't worry, a man who can subdue her is on the side of the Jiang family, would she dare not listen?"

After some discussion, Jiang Mo exclaimed, "Dad, this is a really good idea."

"Mo'er must read more and think more, and be cautious when he enters the government in the future."

"It's Dad."

"Father, there is one thing I don't understand."

"Just ask."

"How come your Majesty's attitude towards my father has suddenly changed? I thought your Majesty had always been on my father's side."

As far as he knew, it had always been like this over the years.

"Your Majesty tolerates the Jiang family and gives us the power to serve as your Majesty's arm, but the power of the Jiang family must not threaten him, and as a father, I naturally cannot show any disloyalty."

"Can Jiang Qingyu pose such a big threat?" Jiang Mo remembered that all these changes were due to Jiang Qingyu entering the Huanxiang Pavilion.

"The people she has contacted and the information she has control over are beyond our imagination. If it weren't for the tragic death of the Zhongzhou governor, Your Majesty wouldn't have any grudges against her."

"Even if Jiang Qingyu didn't kill that man, she is still involved. Alas, I made a wrong move as a father." Jiang Zhuo speculated that perhaps he had thought too simply about the guests Jiang Qingyu was meeting.

Qing Yu was listening to their detailed analysis of the conversation on the eaves. Although she had predicted these things, she was still shocked to hear with her own ears the cruelty of being divided into interests.

Jiang Zhuo was so impatient that he wanted to marry her off in less than a month. He must be afraid that she would lose her usefulness.

The conversation between the two was like a bucket of cold water poured down over her head, freezing her blood and drowning her breathing. The suffocating situation made her heart ache.

The hatred continued to grow, deepen, and intensify, until his fingertips almost sank into her flesh.

The Jiang family, a family that is cold-blooded to the core, is terrible, really terrible. She even began to be glad that it was her who heard these words, not Jiang Qingyu.

She lay back on the bed, knowing how she came back. She could only hug herself tightly and tell herself over and over again, "Be patient! Be patient!"

Pain and evil, entangled in her memories, mixed with the blood flowing in her hands, distorted her world.

The pain that penetrated into the flesh could not stop the murderous intent in the heart.

She wants them dead! She wants the whole family to die!

……

The sun was rising, and beams of light were shining onto the earth through the gaps in the white clouds, but they could not illuminate the haze in her heart.

She wrote the invitation on a piece of paper and added the word "yu" at the end.

"Miss, Madam said that you can get ready to leave once you have packed up." The maid came to inform.

"it is good."

A few days ago, she mentioned to Shen Han that she wanted to go out for a walk. Since Shen Han wanted to get closer to her, she would give her this opportunity.

She folded the envelope in her hand. Now that she had this opportunity to go out, she didn't have to sneak out to deliver the message.

Her rosy lips slightly lifted up, revealing an intriguing smile, and the hatred in her heart was reflected in her dark pupils.

Who will help her succeed?

Shen Han took her to sit in a carriage and drove along the busy streets.

"Aunt, where should we go first?" Qing Yu asked cautiously.

"The batch of fabrics that we purchased at the cloth shop last time has arrived. Qingyu can go and see if there is anything you like."

"Yes, thank you, aunt."

Shen Han smiled slightly, "We are all family, no need to be polite."

After a while, they arrived at the cloth shop. When the proprietress saw Shen Han, she immediately responded with a smile and started talking boastfully.

Qing Yu naturally didn't think about it. He just looked around the fabric room, paying attention to his current position.

This place is two streets away from the location Brother Zhou gave her.

After they finished negotiating and bought the cloth, they returned to the carriage.

"Aunt, I remember there are a lot of shops not far ahead. Can we go over and take a look?"

She sounded courageous when asking this, because Shen Han knew that even if she had been in Huanxiang Pavilion before, she would not have been able to leave without permission.

"Okay, it's rare that your father agrees to take you out to play, so we must have a good stroll."

Shen Han's words sounded very friendly. If she hadn't seen Shen Han's indifference in her memory, she might have been deceived by this woman's gentleness.

"Thank you, aunt."

She opened the curtain of the sedan chair and looked at the prosperity all around, her face filled with joy.

Shen Han saw that she was undoubtedly a naive young lady, but he didn't know that she was carefully inquiring about the environment along the way.

However, Shen Han naturally kept it in mind.

They soon arrived at the place Qingyu mentioned. She had been to this place before. The place Brother Zhou mentioned was a tea shop.

She had inquired and found out that the tea shop owner did not look like an ordinary person. Both his figure and the look in his eyes made him look like a warrior who had undergone long-term training.

"Aunt, I want to check out the snacks over there." She gestured to a few stalls lined up a few meters away.

Shen Han was looking through the jewelry in his hand, "Okay, I'll be back after I buy it."

"It's aunt."

As soon as Qing Yu left, Shen Han told the guard beside him, "Watch her."

"It's ma'am."

Qing Yu naturally noticed the guards following him, and it would be easy to get rid of them here.

As the crowd was moving back and forth, she disappeared from the guards' sight in a flash.

Without time to linger, she ran into the tea shop as fast as she could and found the owner.

She looked around and handed the item in her hand to the boss, "Please give this to Brother Zhou."

The boss understood immediately, but still asked her name.

"Xiao Yu."

"Okay, don't worry, young lady. I will definitely deliver it to you."

"Thank you." She had no time left and ran back in a hurry.

For her, the difficult part was not getting rid of them, but going back when they found her.
