After finishing what she needed to do, Du Qinglan left the room and went to the hall.

She stood by the window, watching the orderly training on the training ground.

The Qiao family army is steady and solid, and can be said to be excellent. Once the Qiao family is finished, these hard-trained soldiers will belong to the eldest prince.

He should be grateful to her.

Everything she did was worth it.

Du Qinglan comforted herself in this way, clenching the handkerchief in her hand and then loosening it.

When Du Qinglan went to accompany Da Meng again, a figure appeared in Da Meng's room.

Qiao Lian'er glanced at the living room outside and found that Du Qinglan was finally gone.

She came twice before.

Du Qinglan is an extremely sensitive person. Qiao Lianer suspects that she can feel any slight noise.

This is why, although she clearly came here with a purpose, what she said in private seemed to be a sincere expression of her feelings.

When a person acts in private, it only means that she may have noticed something.

After searching carefully in the room, Qiao Jianer found a letter from the bottom layer of the bedding.

The letter was cleverly hidden, embroidered on a piece of fabric of the same color on the quilt.

She had already read the contents of the letter before, and just added a few words.

But her eyes still turned cold.

Every time she saw it, she felt murderous.

This was a letter of treason. Every word showed the letter's firm determination to surrender to the greatest enemy in the north, the State of Qi, and the belief in breaking with the State of Daze. The letter also included the entire Qiao family, indicating that if they disobeyed, they would be punished by heaven and earth.

As for the two words "跶驽", Da Meng would never write them in a love letter. It was because Du Qinglan reminded him that if he let her down, she would run to the desert of 跶驽 and never come back, which made her come up with these two words.

Qiao Jian'er tightened her fingers, and the letter of treason was suddenly grasped in her palm, and her whole body was filled with coldness.

Ever since Du Qinglan took this action, there is absolutely no room for forgiveness for her.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was cut into pieces.

Then, Qiao Jianer took out another letter from his sleeve and sewed it to the same place.

After doing this, she returned home.

If she guessed correctly, Du Qinglan's next step would be to hide such a letter in the Qiao family's house.

Well, then she would wait for the moment when her hopes would be dashed.

Du Qinglan didn't come tonight.

After dinner, Da Meng went to see her as usual.

Qiao Jian'er sat under the pavilion, watching him leave with brisk steps and a joyful look on her face.

As the wedding date approaches, the Qiao family's house begins to be decorated with lights and colors, and every member of the Qiao family is filled with joy at the upcoming wedding of the newlyweds.

"The standards cannot be lowered, but we cannot go beyond Qingrong. After all, Qingrong is the granddaughter of the old King Pei, and Master Pei is the General of the Central Army who commands the Imperial Guards. No matter how much our Qiao family likes Qinglan, we must abide by the rules."

In the hall, the Qiao family was discussing the arrangements for the wedding.

"That's right, the Qiao family loves Qinglan, but she is an orphan after all. The Qiao family just needs to show her due attention. If it's too much, it will be inappropriate." Boss Qiao took over the words from Old Lady Qiao.

Then, everyone decided on various matters and specifications, and Mu Xinghe wrote them down.

They can just come and take care of this kind of thing, without bothering Qiao Jianer, because Jianer works very hard every day.

Qiao Jian'er stood in the night, looking at the joy on the faces of the Qiao family, and felt heavy-hearted.

Yes, she didn't want to break everyone's joy, and didn't want to make everyone disappointed and sad, so she gave Du Qinglan a chance.

But in the end, she still chose to push the Qiao family into the abyss with her own hands.

What a cruel heart!

Of course, if she knew that Du Qinglan was going to play such a trick, she would not even give her a chance.

In the past, Du Qinglan only came in the afternoon around dinner time, but now she arrives at Qiao's house in the morning and even stays there all day.

Qiao Xier and Pei Qingrong were both pregnant, so they had plenty of time to chat with her.

Seeing that the two of them talked to her without reservation and the two pregnant women were considerate to her, Du Qinglan didn't know whether to laugh at the Qiao family's naivety or laugh at herself for being too cold-blooded.

On this day, Qiao Xier and Pei Qingrong went to visit the back garden. The others were busy with their own things, and Qiao Lianer went to the fiefdom.

There was no one else in the main hall.

Du Qinglan went over and left the door ajar. She walked to the shrine, put the letter in her hand under the incense burner, and covered it with incense ash.

The incense burner is usually not emptied unless it is full, and it will take several years of festivals and New Year holidays for the burner to be full.

So, if you hide the letter inside, no one will ever find it.

After doing all this, Du Qinglan opened the door again and looked outside. Everything was normal and no one noticed anything unusual about her.

By now, two fatal letters had been placed at the Qiao family's house, one at the military station and the other at the gate.

Just waiting to build momentum.

"Qinglan, are you going back?" Qiao Xier asked when she saw Du Qinglan getting ready to go out after coming back from strolling in the back garden.

"Well, after all, I'm getting married, and I want to go back and prepare."

"I almost forgot." Qiao Xier said, "Even though you're alone, you still need to decorate your little courtyard well, so that when you get married there, it will be more dignified."

She stretched out her hand and called a group of servants over, telling them to buy supplies and decorate the yard for Du Qinglan.

Every detail is taken care of.

Du Qinglan looked at that sincere face and was stunned for a moment.

"We are pregnant and are not allowed to go out of the house, otherwise we would have helped you with the arrangements." Pei Qingrong came over and took her hand.

Ever since Qiao Xier had a miscarriage outside last time, the Qiao family has been particularly cautious.

It’s not about restricting freedom, but we really can’t afford the risk.

Du Qinglan's heart felt like it was stabbed by a knife, and she felt extremely uncomfortable for a moment.

She was almost about to soften her heart and terminate the plan.

But she also knew what this meant. It meant that his parents would forever be wronged ghosts who could not face the light of day.

So she pinched her palm silently with her fingers until it bled.

I forced a smile and said, "They are very familiar with these things, so you don't have to worry about them. Thank you for your kindness."

"Your hands are so cold." Pei Qingrong stuffed the hot water bottle into Du Qinglan's arms: "I just added charcoal."

Du Qinglan walked out holding the hot water bottle, looked up at the gray sky to prevent her tears from falling.

How she wished she could marry into the Qiao family and become a real family with them.

However, she had no choice in her fate.

After Du Qinglan left, Qiao Jianer, who had been sitting in the living room, took off her invisibility cloak and revealed herself.

That's right, she was waiting inside, waiting for Du Qinglan's move.

I thought Du Qinglan would only take action after getting married, but now she is so impatient, she must have her own plans.

But Qiao Jianer didn't care what she thought.

She walked over to the shrine and replaced the contents of the incense burner.

Two days later, a rumor spread in the capital that someone was colluding with the Kingdom of Qinu and intending to rebel.

The people who wanted to rebel were the rising stars in the capital.
