Chu Qianyu shook her head and said, "This is just the first step. First, let your mother get used to you visiting her every day. The next step is to stop visiting him. And then you will have to suffer a little bit."

"Just tell me. I can bear any hardship."

"It will require you to get hurt. The intensity of the effort is up to you. As for mother, I will help you persuade her. And if grandmother asks you to take a concubine again, I hope you can refuse directly. You may not know this, but I told mother about the palace banquet this morning. I still remember that mother's voice was cold, and she told me that if this really happened, she would divorce you this time."

"What!" Chu Jun stood up suddenly when he heard this, with a look of disbelief.

Chu Qianyu waited for him to calm down and said, "You should know that mother can't keep enduring like this. No matter how much love she has for you, she can't stand this."

Having said this, she stood up, sighed softly and said, "Father, I have said everything I should say. It depends on what you do next. I'm leaving first. You think about it carefully." Then she turned and walked out of the house.

In the following days, Chu Qianyu was very satisfied with Chu Jun's performance. He went to Yunying's courtyard after court every day. No matter how she chased him away or ignored him, he seemed to be oblivious. He insisted on eating with her and personally brewing medicine for her. He also bought a lot of snacks that she liked and brought them over.

At night, he even stayed in Yunying's bedroom like a spoiled child. Of course, he was not allowed to do so at first, so he just slept on the couch. It was fine for one or two days, but on the third day, Yunying gave in.

But I just slept with my clothes on.

When Chu Qianyu gave her acupuncture these days, he could clearly feel that Yunying's attitude towards Chu Jun had softened a little.

Yunying's health also improved significantly. Her face started to turn red, not as pale as before.

After Chu Qianyu finished her work here, she took some time to visit Xuanyue Gate.

Leng Qingzhou had been waiting for a long time after receiving the news. When he saw someone coming, he smiled and greeted them, "Xiao Yueyue, long time no see."

"How is my double's training going?"

Leng Qingzhou clapped his hands after hearing this, and saw a person slowly walking out from the darkness. Upon closer inspection, he looked and had a body shape that was almost exactly the same as Situ Yue.

"Master!" The fake Situ Yue walked up to Chu Qianyu and bowed.

Chu Qianyu suddenly remembered the bracelet, so she looked towards her wrist and saw a bracelet on her wrist.

Leng Qingzhou saw this and said, "I put all the obvious things in the ice coffin on her. This way, others won't get suspicious. I also did the Situ family mark as you said. Do you think it's satisfactory?"

"Take off the bracelet."

"Yes." The fake Situ Yue quickly took off the bracelet and handed it to Chu Qianyu.

Leng Qingzhou asked with some confusion: "Why do you want to take off the bracelet? What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

Chu Qianyu took the bracelet, looked at it, and then threw it to Leng Qingzhou and said, "The bracelet was given to me by Mo Yinan. I asked about it when I returned to Situ Mansion a few days ago. I said I lost it. So if I wear it now and he sees it, I'll have to explain. If I can't explain well, he'll get suspicious again. It's troublesome. So don't wear it. Put the bracelet back later."

Leng Qingzhou handed the bracelet over, his face full of unhappiness, but he still accepted it, muttering: "I see. How annoying." He thought to himself that he would give Xiao Yueyue a bracelet someday. Humph~

"Okay, stop wasting time. I can't stay out for too long." Chu Qianyu said as he walked to a stool nearby and sat down.

Then he said to the two of them, "You guys sit down too."

After they all sat down, Chu Qianyu looked at the fake Situ Yue and asked, "Leng Qingzhou should have told you about my past, as well as my way of doing things and my habits."

The fake Situ Yue nodded.

"Well, that's good. I will now briefly tell you what happened the last time I went to Situ Mansion. Now I have moved my residence to Fuguang Tower outside the city. Ming Zixi should have gone there too. Try to reduce your contact with her to avoid being discovered. Also, I have reached a cooperation with Mo Yinan. He will help me investigate the cause of death of my parents and siblings. If he sends someone to look for me, you should find someone to notify me immediately. I will go there myself..."

Next, Chu Qianyu briefly explained what happened in Situ Mansion that day and the people who needed attention. It took about half an hour.

After everything was over, Chu Qianyu looked at her and said, "Did you remember it?"

"Well, Master, rest assured, I have remembered everything."

"Okay, if you meet me in the future and I remember my current identity, don't call me master in public."

"Yes."

Chu Qianyu nodded, stood up and said, "Okay, then you can go to Fuguang Tower now."

After the fake Situ Yue left, Chu Qianyu looked at Leng Qingzhou and asked, "Where is the Second Elder? Has everything been arranged?"

Leng Qingzhou also stood up, patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, when you had him thrown into the mass grave that day, I had already prepared a replacement. I found someone who was similar in size to the Second Elder. His face had been torn to pieces by wild dogs, and when the Second Elder's family went to take him back, they didn't notice anything unusual."

"The real Second Elder is now imprisoned in the dungeon. Someone has been assigned to treat him. By the way, your knife move was truly exquisite."

Chu Qianyu looked him up and down and said, "Why don't you know how to do it? Isn't this the most basic thing? If that's the case, then I have to think carefully about whether I should find a new deputy sect leader."

Leng Qingzhou was surprised after hearing this, and then he covered his chest and said, "Xiao Yueyue, I just wanted to praise you. How could you do this to me? Do you know that when you say this, my heart will turn cold."

After hearing this, Chu Qianyu smiled and shook her head helplessly, saying, "Alright, be normal. Second Elder, I will not see you today. You take care of the people. Whoever harmed my parents will have to start with the Second Elder."

"Don't worry about me doing the job." Leng Qingzhou patted his chest and promised.

"Well, in that case, I'll go back first." After Chu Qianyu said that, he walked straight outside.

"Hey~ Are you leaving now?"

"Well, you can't be out for too long. There are people secretly watching you in my yard." As he spoke, Chu Qianyu had already walked out the door and mounted his horse.

After saying this, he rode away without looking back.

Leng Qingzhou was left standing behind him, his face covered with dust from the horse's hooves, with a look of grievance on his face.

Then he turned back to the palace to wash and change his clothes. He was such a clean person that he couldn't tolerate this.

Chu Qianyu arrived in the city and got off the horse. Now she was dressed as an ordinary person and no one noticed her.

But some of the things people on the street said slowed down her pace a little.

"Hey! Have you heard that the eldest daughter of Duke Mu's mansion is now too sick to get out of bed?"

"Yes, the news has spread. I heard that the Queen Mother fell ill the day after she gave her to the Regent."

"What you said is nothing. I recently learned that the Prince Regent seems to be unlucky with his wives. If a woman gets involved with him, she will die in a few days. Now, the Duke Mu's Mansion has asked the Queen Mother to cancel the marriage for the sake of the eldest daughter."

When the people around heard this, they immediately became interested. A group of people gathered around and asked curiously, "Does the Queen Mother agree?"
