"The Third Prince promised me that once the matter was accomplished, he would take me in as his concubine and bring me into his palace." She agreed to the Third Prince's request without hesitation under such a great temptation that she would become a phoenix in one day.

When the old woman heard what the maid said, the words she was about to say were stuck in her throat. Her face turned red from holding it in, and she looked at the maid with a strange and astonished look.

Gu Zhiyin had been staring at the two of them. Seeing the old woman's obvious surprise, she became even more certain that Sun Ruqian was instructed by the Fifth Prince.

These two people obviously don't know each other's existence.

The family of the Duke of Huguo was equally shocked.

The huge main hall was eerily quiet at this moment, with only the sound of the maids kowtowing desperately.

"The Third Prince?" Liu Nanfeng looked at the maid, then at Gu Zhiyin, and saw her showing a bitter smile to everyone.

And the Wen family didn't seem surprised that the third prince wanted to harm Gu Zhiyin.

"Some time ago, the Third Prince had a conflict with Princess Mingjun, and I'm afraid he holds a grudge against everyone in the Pingyang Palace." Gu Zhiyin said.

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood what was going on.

The Third Prince had a grudge against Fu Yunjing, so he regarded the Pingyang Palace as a thorn in his side, but it was inconvenient for him to do it himself, so he set up this trap, knocked Gu Zhiyin unconscious, and brought her to the vicinity of the pond, waiting for Cheng Shuli to drown. When everyone came to find Gu Zhiyin, they regarded her as the murderer.

By killing the eldest son of the Cheng family in the Duke of Huguo's mansion, Gu Zhiyin offended two families at once, and the Prince of Pingyang's mansion could not bear the anger of the two families.

Prince Pingyang is of mediocre ability, and Fu Yunjing is a playboy and a fool.

The Third Prince doesn't have to do anything at all, these two families can help him get rid of Fu Yunjing and defeat the Prince of Pingyang's Palace.

What a sinister means.

Liu Zhengfang's face was extremely gloomy, with two flames of anger burning in his dark eyes.

What a Third Prince! For his own selfish desires, he used such despicable means to plot against the Liu family.

Gu Zhiyin suddenly whispered to Liu Zhenzhen, "It is said that Miss Sun is willing to help the Third Prince because she admires him, but I heard that the Third Prince intends to marry the eldest daughter of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. Could it be that Miss Sun is willing to be a concubine?"

"Where did you hear that?" Liu Zhenzhen asked in astonishment.

"The Third Prince and my Duke are enemies, right? I heard him accidentally let it slip. As for their feud, I will tell you in private." Gu Zhiyin said softly.

Wen looked at Gu Zhiyin silently and swallowed.

Is it okay to tell lies with open eyes?

Liu Zhenzhen nodded in understanding, thought for a moment, and said, "Either the Third Prince has deceived Sun Ruqian well, and Sun Ruqian still doesn't know about it, or Sun Ruqian likes someone else, and this person conspired with the Third Prince to set up a trap."

Although the two were whispering, their words were clearly heard by everyone in the quiet main hall.

Everyone held their breath and listened to the two people talking.

After hearing this, Liu Nanfeng suddenly shouted, "He must have conspired with others to set up this trap."

The sound was so loud that it startled everyone.

"You're going to die, so loud." The wife of the Duke of Protectorate covered her chest and glared at Liu Nanfeng unhappily.

Conspiring with someone, who are you conspiring with?

Sun Ruqian doesn't even look down on Liu Xichao, the young master of the Duke's Mansion. Anyone who can catch her eye must be rich or noble, and she even has the guts to conspire with the third prince to frame the Liu family.

Gu Zhiyin pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment, but she did not express her doubts.
