Not long after, Fu Yu hurried back to Prince Duan's Mansion. Although her steps were fast, she still kept them light so as not to disturb the peace in the mansion.
She was holding a large bucket in her hands. The bucket was wrapped in thick cloth and the contents could not be seen clearly.
Fu Yu tiptoed into Gu Qinlan's study, only to see Princess Duan sitting at the desk with a book in her hands, her eyes drifting towards the door from time to time.
"You're back, Fu Yu." Gu Qinlan put down the book, smiled slightly, and a hint of anticipation flashed across her face.
"Yes, Princess." Fu Yu gently placed the barrel on the ground and unwrapped the cloth, revealing an exquisite wooden barrel. The contents of the barrel were vaguely visible, but still mysterious.
Gu Qinlan stood up, walked to the bucket, and gently opened the lid. A faint fragrance came to her nose. She carefully examined the gifts in the bucket, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
"This gift is indeed good." Gu Qinlan said softly, "Let's proceed according to the plan."
Fu Yu was slightly stunned and asked curiously: "Princess, what kind of gift is this? Why does it scare the Second Young Master?"
Gu Qinlan smiled, with a complex emotion in her eyes: "Do you remember what happened that night? Zheng Fenghui..."
"I remember that he was disrespectful to the princess that night." Fu Yu recalled with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
"That's right." Gu Qinlan nodded. "This gift is to make him understand that the rules of the mansion cannot be violated."
The lights in Prince Duan's mansion were bright, but Zheng Fenghui's room was pitch black.
According to the plan, Gu Qinlan and Fu Yu quietly came to Zheng Fenghui's door. They looked at each other, and Fu Yu nodded slightly to indicate that they were ready.
Gu Qinlan took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
The room was silent, and Zheng Fenghui seemed to be asleep. She walked carefully to the bedside, gently placed the bucket on the ground, and then slowly opened the lid.
"Princess, what should we do?" Fu Yu asked in a low voice, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
"When he wakes up, he will know the consequences." Gu Qinlan said lightly, turning around and preparing to leave.
At this moment, Zheng Fenghui suddenly turned over, as if he was awakened. He opened his eyes dazedly, saw the things in the bucket, and sat up in shock.
"Ah! What is this!" Zheng Fenghui screamed in horror, with fear in his voice.
Gu Qinlan and Fu Yu looked at each other, turned and left, leaving Zheng Fenghui alone in the room.
Zheng Fenghui looked at the thing in the bucket. It was a lifelike poisonous snake, spitting out its tongue and slowly approaching him.
"No! Don't come over here!" Zheng Fenghui shouted in horror. He tried to retreat, but there was limited space beside the bed and he had nowhere to escape.
At this moment, Gu Qinlan came back. She looked at Zheng Fenghui coldly and said calmly, "Do you know that the rules of the mansion cannot be violated?"
A trace of fear flashed in Zheng Fenghui's eyes, and he understood that this gift was a warning from Gu Qinlan to him.
"I...I understand. I will never dare to do it again!" Zheng Fenghui said in a trembling voice, his eyes full of awe.
Gu Qinlan nodded slightly, turned and left, leaving Zheng Fenghui alone in the room.
She walked out of the room, looked back at Fu Yu, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes.
"Princess, will he take revenge?" Fu Yu asked worriedly.
Gu Qinlan smiled gently: "Don't worry, he doesn't dare. He knows that in this Prince Duan's Mansion, I am the mother and he is the son."
Fu Yu smiled slightly, and admired Gu Qinlan's wisdom and courage even more.
Gu Qinlan walked slowly back to her courtyard, followed closely by Fu Yu. It was already late at night, and Prince Duan's mansion was quiet and silent, with only the occasional sound of wind and the rustling of fallen leaves.
The two walked into the room, and the moment they sat down, Gu Qinlan's expression became much softer.
"Fu Yu, do you think my behavior today was a bit too much?" Gu Qinlan asked softly, her eyes looking deep and powerful in the darkness.
Fu Yu pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "Princess, you did this for the peace of the mansion. It's just... Zheng Fenghui..."
"He knows his limits." Gu Qinlan interrupted her and smiled slightly, "I understand. He is a smart man and will not take risks easily."
"...Princess, are you really planning to change yourself like this?" Fu Yu asked worriedly, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
Gu Qinlan was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "Before, I always endured and always thought about the overall situation. But now, I find that some things cannot be solved without standing up in person."
Fu Yu listened, a glimmer of understanding flashed in her eyes, and she said softly: "Princess, you have become strong, but that doesn't mean you don't need us."
Gu Qinlan smiled slightly, her eyes full of warmth: "I know, Fu Yu, you are the person closest to me, I will naturally not forget this."
The two were silent for a while, and Fu Yu suddenly said, "Princess, will your thunderous behavior tonight make Prince Duan worried?"
Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with complexity, and she sighed softly: "He is my husband, I will naturally not let him worry. But, there are some things that I must face personally."
Fu Yu nodded silently, and her admiration for Gu Qinlan deepened.
As the night deepened, Gu Qinlan returned to her bedroom, lay on the bed, and had a lot of thoughts in her mind.
She thought about her forbearance over the years, Zheng Fenghui's threats, and her worries about the future.
But she also knew that she had to be strong because she was the Crown Princess of Prince Duan and she had the responsibility to protect herself and improve the family.
……
The next morning, everyone in Prince Duan's mansion was busy.
After getting up, Gu Qinlan went to the study. She sat at the desk and picked up an ancient book, but her mind was not on the book.
At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Fu Yu walked in. With a trace of worry on her face, she said softly: "Princess, did you not sleep well last night?"
Gu Qinlan smiled lightly, put down the book in her hand, and looked at Fu Yu: "It's okay, I just can't figure out some things."
Fu Yu walked to Gu Qinlan, gently rubbed her shoulders, and said softly: "Princess, you must learn to relax, so that you can have more energy to deal with the affairs of the mansion."
Gu Qinlan nodded slightly. She looked at Fu Yu with a hint of gratitude in her eyes: "Thank you, Fu Yu. I know you are really doing this for my own good."
The two talked for a while, and Gu Qinlan's mood gradually improved.
With Fu Yu by her side, she will not be lonely.
At this moment, Zheng Fenghui held a small sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword flashed coldly in the sunlight.
He rushed into Gu Qinlan's yard angrily and kicked the stone lion in front of the door away, making a loud noise.
The maids in the yard were panicked and hid in the corners, not daring to make a sound.
Gu Qinlan was combing her hair in front of the mirror in the room. Hearing the noise outside, she frowned slightly, put down the wooden comb in her hand, and slowly walked out of the room.
Zheng Fenghui was seen rushing up the stairs with a small sword in his hand, his face flushed, his eyes full of anger and indomitable spirit.
The maids stood by trembling with fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Young Master, what are you doing? If you have anything to say, please talk to me nicely, and don't destroy the yard like this."
