Gu Jinyun thought that he had secretly sent someone to pass a message to Liu Tianshu, and that no one would know about the meeting at the back hill of Xiangguo Temple three days later. However, he didn't know that his Fuguang Courtyard was so leaky that Liu Tianshu would know about the slightest movement on his side.

Liu Tianshu naturally would not stop Gu Jinyun and Liu Tian'er from having a tryst in Xiangguo Temple. She would rather go the extra mile and reveal their private meeting to the Chang family and the third young lady of the mansion.

Although the second son of the Chang family has not achieved anything yet, he is handsome, suave and charming, and is the most attractive young man to innocent girls.

In her previous life, Liu Tianshu took great pains to arrange a marriage for her sister-in-law, and finally helped her successfully marry into the Duke's Mansion and become the eldest wife, living a glorious life.

On the contrary, she secretly helped Liu Tian'er to plot against her, and said that she was an unlucky star, who not only killed her father, but also took away her mother's power as the head of the family.

She was the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion, and the power to be the head of the household originally belonged to her. The old Marquis did not die on the day she entered the house, it was just that the messenger brought the news of his death on the day of her wedding.

Those people never said those words in front of her, and Liu Tianshu didn't even have a chance to defend herself.

In this life, she will never be that silly woman who silently gives.

After Liu Tianshu arranged everything, Qingshan asked expectantly, "Miss, do we want to go and burn incense and watch the fun on that day?"

"I'm still sick, so I won't join in the fun. If you want to know what happened next, find two strangers who are good at talking to watch her and wait for her to come back and tell us."

"Yes, I will make arrangements now."

After receiving the order, Qingshan left quickly.

"Miss, it would be a pity to miss such a good show."

"You!"

Liu Tianshu tapped Guan Xue's nose and gave her an instruction.

"Because it was a good show, we need to leave an alibi."

"That's true."

Guan Xue smiled shyly and was about to say something when she heard a little maid come over and report that someone from the palace had come and summoned her to enter the palace in three days.

Liu Tianshu received the imperial eunuch's order respectfully, and asked Guan Xue to give the eunuch a big purse before he left.

The young eunuch happily took the purse, whispered something in her ear, and quickly said goodbye and left.

After sending the little eunuch away, Guan Xue looked at Liu Tianshu worriedly.

On the surface, Liu Tianshu only has Hou as her stepmother-in-law, but in fact, she is just a decoration and dares not to make things difficult for Liu Tianshu.

The people Liu Tianshu really fears are the Empress Dowager and the Emperor in the palace.

The emperor has a lot of state affairs to deal with every day. Unless something big happens, he would never remember that he has a cousin.

In contrast, the empress dowager had plenty of time and had arranged many spies in the palace early on. Any major or minor events in the palace would be reported to the empress dowager at the first opportunity.

The matter of Gu Jinyun and Liu Tian'ai had spread throughout the Marquis' Mansion, and Liu Tianshu didn't find it strange at all that the Queen Mother would get the news.

It is possible that the Queen Mother already knows that Gu Jinyun has asked Liu Tian'ai to go to Xiangguo Temple. The reason why she set the date for him to enter the palace three days later is probably because she is afraid that she will follow him to Xiangguo Temple and make the matter bigger.

The Queen Mother, this great aunt, was so good to Gu Jinyun, it's a pity that some people are so disappointing that they don't even know how much this old lady has done for them.

She had not planned to go to Xiangguo Temple in the first place, and being able to enter the palace on that day saved her the trouble of finding other excuses not to go to Xiangguo Temple with Gu Jinyun.

Qingshan walked in from outside and bowed respectfully: "Miss, I have already arranged everything. Do you have any other instructions?"

"There's no outsider here at the moment, no need to be polite."

Liu Tianshu instructed, "I remember that the Queen Mother likes to eat a dessert made by our chef the most. Ask the kitchen to prepare it and I will bring it to the palace in three days."

"Yes!"

Qingshan responded respectfully and said with concern: "Miss, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will talk about the matter between the Marquis and the Third Miss of the Liu Family when you come to the palace this time. You should be prepared."

"Ok!"

Ever since the affair between Gu Jinyun and Liu Tian'ai was exposed, Liu Tianshu had been waiting to know the Empress Dowager's decree. Now that she had finally gotten it, she was not nervous at all. Instead, she felt relieved.

Picking up the teapot and pouring herself a cup of tea, Liu Tianshu's eyes became increasingly cold as she sipped the tea slowly.

"Liu Tian'ai, don't even think about escaping from my grasp this time..."
