Within the Ji family, the treatment of Gu Qinlian changed instantly, like a spring breeze and warm weather.

Even Ji Yinli, who was usually indifferent, rarely set foot in Gu Qinlian's courtyard. He spoke softly and tenderly, making Gu Qinlian very happy.

These days, in the Ji Mansion, neither the two naughty little guys nor the sinister Hu Xinrong dared to show the slightest disrespect to Gu Qinlian.

however……

Whenever it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Gu Qinlian would always think of the meaningful words that the Third Prince's wife had said to her, and she would involuntarily clench the note in her hand.

"Sister Qin Lian, the reason why I tell you these heartfelt words is because I regard you as my own sister."

"You have a beautiful face, a gentle temperament, and everything is impeccable, but why do you have to endure being trampled on by your eldest sister?"

"Are you willing to give up the throne of Princess Duan? If you are interested, I am willing to lend you a helping hand, as long as you can put your eldest sister in danger..."

Recalling the Third Prince's wife's suggestion, Gu Qinlian sneered, threw the note aside, leaned lazily on the back of the chair, closed his eyes slightly, and whispered to himself:

"Do you really think I'm a fool who can be easily manipulated? You've suffered at her hands, and you still want me to be the sharp blade?"

Although he harbored hatred towards Gu Qinlan, Gu Qinlian did not intend to take action personally.

She knew the future trend very well, so why rush into danger? If the Third Prince and his men wanted to harm Gu Qinlan, then let them wait.

Wait until Zheng Dinglian returns and Prince Duan's Mansion declines. Wouldn't it be safer for her to take action at the right time then?

However...how to explain to the Third Prince's wife and the others became Gu Qinlian's current problem.

After thinking it over, she decided to write a letter and send her servants to deliver it to the Third Prince's Palace.

After reading the letter, the Third Prince's wife was so angry that she almost passed out.

Seeing this, the Third Prince lazily leaned on the couch and asked:

"What happened?"

The Third Prince's wife looked at him helplessly, and after a moment's silence, she said:

"Gu Qinlian is making excuses, saying that he needs to think it over carefully and will give us an answer after some time."

After hearing this, the Third Prince's eyes turned cold, and he fiddled with the Buddhist beads in his hand, with a sneer on his face:

"Great, great, I didn't expect that the women in Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion are actually good at keeping a low profile and hiding their talents."

These days, the Third Prince's wife has spared no effort in showing goodwill to Gu Qinlian.

However, although the other party happily accepted it, they did not provide the help they wished.

Is it that the time has not come yet, or has she already seen through their intentions?

The Third Prince's wife was unwilling to accept this and secretly cursed Gu Qinlian from head to toe.

Afterwards, she looked at the Third Prince with concern and asked cautiously:

"So, what should we do next?"

The Third Prince closed his eyes, took out a plum blossom token from the secret compartment beside him, and threw it to the Third Prince's wife:

"Go to Siming Tower. Gu Qinlan's life has lasted too long."

Since Gu Qinlian doesn't know how to judge the situation, let them deal with Gu Qinlan first.

After finishing the matter with Gu Qinlan, I will have time to deal with Gu Qinlian slowly!

The Third Prince's wife received the order, took the plum blossom token, and said:

"As you command, I'll do it right away."

Siming Tower is a world-famous killer organization spread across various countries. It is known for its ruthless actions and its relentless pursuit of death.

As long as someone's name is on Siming Tower's killer list, their life will come to an end!

In the quiet of the night, Prince Duan's Mansion was immersed in silence.

At this time, Gu Qinlan was sitting in the study, carefully looking through the recent account books, and not forgetting to check the academic performance of several children.

Zheng Huiyi sat quietly beside Gu Qinlan, imitating her, browsing the account book and using the abacus with a focused look.

Gu Qinlan listened to the crisp sound of Zheng Huiyi turning the abacus, raised her head slightly and glanced over.

The little girl had a serious expression on her tender face, as if she were a little adult, making people want to gently rub her round face.

Because Zheng Huiyi had to endure the pain of acupuncture every morning, she simply moved to Gu Qinlan's yard, because she wanted Gu Qinlan to worry about her.

In fact, this was just an excuse to get close to Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlan naturally did not refuse. Having a sweet and soft little guy to accompany her was indeed very soothing.

"Are you tired of watching?" Gu Qinlan gently rubbed the little guy's hair and asked softly.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Huiyi immediately slid down from the chair, threw herself into Gu Qinlan's arms, and said in a tender voice: "Well! Mother, Huiyi is sleepy, let's go to bed together!"

"it is good."

Gu Qinlan gently picked up the little girl, told the servants to prepare toiletries, and then gently put her on the bed.

Zheng Huiyi was probably really exhausted. As soon as she got on the bed, she held Gu Qinlan's hand tightly and said vaguely, "Mom smells good. Huiyi likes it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she fell into a deep sleep. Gu Qinlan looked at her and laughed.

Just then, there was a loud noise suddenly!

A dark shadow suddenly rushed in from outside and knocked over the window.

A cold light flashed, and a long sword went straight towards Gu Qinlan.

"Miss, be careful!!!"

The moment Xiang Zhu discovered the assassin, he rushed towards Gu Qinlan without hesitation, with his arms outstretched, ready to block the attack for her.

"Pfft."

The sound of a knife cutting into flesh was heard!

Gu Qinlan saw the sword piercing into Xiang Zhu's arm, but suddenly stopped.

The assassin's chest was pierced by a sharp sword, and blood stained his clothes red.

As the sword was pulled out, the assassin's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, then he fell to the ground and stopped moving.

After the assassin fell, a cold face appeared on his face.

"Are you okay?"

Eyebags glanced at Gu Qinlan and then at Xiang Zhu.

Xiang Zhu covered his wound, his face as pale as paper.

Gu Qinlan quickly helped Xiang Zhu sit down, frowning as he bandaged her and scolded her, "Why did you rush forward when it was so dangerous? When did you become so courageous?"

Xiang Zhu shook his head and gave Gu Qinlan a brilliant smile: "Xiang Zhu is not afraid! Xiang Zhu's life is not worth mentioning, how can it be compared with the nobleness of the young lady!"

Gu Qinlan's heart was touched, and she remembered the scene in her previous life when Xiang Zhu sacrificed himself for her. That moment overlapped with the present, and her eyes could not help but redden. She said seriously: "Your life is equally precious, do you understand?"

Xiang Zhu looked at Gu Qinlan's moist eyes, feeling a little flustered, and hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, Miss, I'm fine. Wocan arrived in time, my injury is nothing."

After Gu Qinlan carefully treated Xiang Zhu's wounds, she sighed softly and stroked the top of Xiang Zhu's head. Then she turned her gaze to Xiang Zhu's eye bags who were carefully examining the corpse.

"Who is the murderer?"

Wocan fished out a waist badge from the corpse and said solemnly:

"This is the mark of Siming Tower."

"Si Ming Tower?"

Gu Qinlan narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the various rules of Siming Tower in his mind, sneered, and said:

"It seems that the Third Prince can no longer hold back."
