The villain and the powerful official secretly read the diary and broke my plot every day

Early the next morning, Yanlou opened its doors.

Last night, Jiang Jiang asked someone to clean up the bloodstains at the door. After dawn, more and more people walked into Baxingfang. No one knew what happened last night, but some sharp-eyed passers-by noticed that a large wooden board was erected outside Yanlou's door early in the morning.

This was a common practice at Yanlou. They loved to get some large wooden boards and write and draw on them. The onlookers had long been accustomed to it, and everyone came forward. Then everyone realized that the writing on the large board at the entrance of Yanlou this time was to promote [Yanlou Membership]...

Soon the people in the capital city found out that the Yanlou, which opened yesterday, was recruiting members. Their membership was limited to women, and the cheapest membership fee was one thousand taels of silver per year.

Of course, this is not the most outrageous thing. The most outrageous thing is that to become their member, you need to undergo [capital verification]. To put it simply, if you want to become a member of Yanlou, first of all, you must have a certain status and asset value.

Otherwise, no matter how much money you give, Yanlou will not accept you as a member!

[Yanlou is a symbol of identity and status]

[Only true nobles are qualified to become members of Yanlou]

Soon, the four words "Yanlou Member" became the talk of the town in Beijing.

Chu Mansion.

"It's not me, don't kill me!"

Chu Yunfei woke up from a nightmare, her face pale and sweating profusely.

"Miss."

Lan Xiang quickly came to Chu Yunfei's bedside and looked at her worriedly: "Miss, are you okay? Did you have a nightmare again?"

I don’t know why, but the young lady has been worried since she returned home yesterday. She even had nightmares last night and didn’t sleep well at all.

"I...it's okay."

Hearing Lanxiang's voice, Chu Yunfei hesitated and shook her head. Then she wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked in a low voice, "Where's my dad?"

"Miss, the master went to the Ministry of Rites early this morning. Do you have anything to do with him?"

Chu Yunfei didn't say anything.

She felt that Yunyue in Yanlou was Chu Yunyue, but she had no concrete evidence. Moreover, Yanlou was opened by Gu Yanhuan, and it was the Gu family's property.

Is it...

Chu Yunyue took refuge with Gu Yanqing?

But she was clearly a stupid, crazy loser before! How did she suddenly become smart? And become the head of Yanlou?

What's the secret here?

Chu Yunfei didn't dare to tell Chu Guoan about this directly, because she knew that her father had always been indecisive. Moreover, Chu Yunyue had become smarter now. What if her father...

Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei hurriedly got out of bed. She wanted to go to her mother to discuss countermeasures. In this family, only her mother would truly care about her...

The Chu family's back garden.

Mrs. Chu was taking good care of her flowers and plants early in the morning. In this golden autumn season, the chrysanthemums in her garden were about to bloom.

"Mother."

Chu Yunfei quickly ran to Mrs. Chu and held her hand.

"Girl, why are your hands so cold?"

Mrs. Chu turned to look at her precious daughter, and as she spoke, she held Chu Yunfei's hand tightly.

"Mom, I have something to tell you."

Chu Yunfei pulled Madam Chu aside mysteriously, while Lanxiang and the other maids tactfully stepped back a few steps.

"What's wrong? Why are you so mysterious?" Mrs. Chu looked at her daughter curiously.

"Mom, I saw...Chu Yunyue."

Chu Yunfei spoke in a low voice, her voice trembling.

"Impossible." Mrs. Chu subconsciously denied it, but the next moment, she lowered her voice again: "What's going on? Where did you see her?"

That bitch Chu Yunyue is still alive?

Is she really that lucky?

Mrs. Chu was confused, and Chu Yunfei beside her had already told her what she had seen and heard in Yanlou yesterday.

"Yanlou? Isn't that the Gu family's territory?" Madam Chu also knew Yanlou. After all, Yanlou had become famous recently. This group of wives from official families were actually very curious about Yanlou. However, they were all people of status, and the husbands around them all had some conflicts with Gu Yanqing to some extent.

So Mrs. Chu had no plan to go to Yanlou. Now, after hearing what Chu Yunfei said, Mrs. Chu's face immediately turned ugly.

"Could you have seen it wrong? After all, people are similar."

"I remember her voice, exactly the same as before." Chu Yunfei subconsciously grasped Mrs. Chu's hand: "We didn't see her body before, so it must be her. Mother, what should we do?"

How to do?

Madam Chu's eyes gradually became fierce. "Chu Yunyue is already dead. No one except those in our house has ever seen her. Even if she says she is the legitimate daughter of the Chu family, what does it matter? If we don't acknowledge her, she will have no way to stop us!"

She had already dealt with and sold off a number of the servants in the mansion. Now, except for their confidants, no one in the mansion knew Chu Yunyue.

"But what if Gu Yanqing's people can find witnesses?" Chu Yunfei still felt uneasy.

Ever since she saw Chu Yunyue yesterday, she has been very uneasy, always feeling that some misfortune will befall her at any time.

"Gu Yanqing originally wanted to deal with our Chu family. We can't let him find any evidence against us. The crime of deceiving the emperor is punishable by the death of all nine generations of the family."

Chu Yunfei became more and more frightened as she spoke, and her face became paler and paler.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one, just in case...

"Then let her truly disappear, forever!"

Mrs. Chu steeled her heart and spoke coldly, "Killing once is killing, killing twice is killing."

Only when Chu Yunyue is truly dead can they feel at ease.

"Ah."

In the room in the backyard of Yanlou, Yunyue suddenly sneezed and her body shook.

"Shopkeeper Yun, are you okay?" Xianghua beside her looked at her nervously.

"I am fine."

Yunyue came back to her senses and glanced at Xianghua: "You go down first, Jiang Jiang and I have something to talk about."

"Yes." Xianghua obediently retreated, leaving only Yunyue and Jiang Jiang in the room.

Early this morning, when Yunyue got up to have breakfast, she found that Jiang Jiang was not at home.

She was a little worried at that time. Later, someone from Yanlou came to deliver the news that Jiang Jiang was in Yanlou. Yunyue felt something was wrong at that time, so she rushed to Yanlou immediately and found out that Jiang Jiang was injured last night.

"My eldest brother doesn't know about this, right?"

Jiang Jiang asked Yun Yue in a low voice.

"My cousin didn't go home last night. He must be staying at the Liuli Kiln again." Yun Yue answered in a low voice, then looked at Jiang Jiang seriously: "What happened last night? Who attacked you? Was it... someone from the Chu family?"

The first person Yunyue thought of was Chu Yunfei.

She had met Chu Yunfei yesterday. Chu Yunfei had always been cruel and ruthless, and this was not the first time she had killed someone.

"I don't know who it is."

Jiang Jiang shook her head. Even facing Yun Yue, she didn't dare to tell the truth.

What happened last night involved too many people. The fewer people who know about it, the better.

"Don't worry, cousin. Lord Du from the Imperial Guard has already promised to send someone to protect me."

Jiang Jiang smiled and took Yun Yue's hand: "You should also pay attention to your safety recently. Whether it is the Chu family or not, we must take precautions before it happens."

It would be fine if the Chu family didn't take action, but if they really did, they would be in trouble this time.
