Cuizhen Courtyard.

After hearing Lai Fu's report, Madam Zhen was surprised and asked, "That loser from Xiyuan likes Yan Qing?"

Lai Fu lowered his eyes and looked at the ground.

He used to think that his cousin was a waste.

Being powerless in Kyoto and having to live under someone else's roof and depend on others for support is truly miserable.

But what he saw today completely shattered his perception. How could his cousin be a loser? He was clearly a ferocious beast with its fangs hidden. No, he was even more terrifying than a ferocious beast.

He is still trembling with fear.

The kind of imposing aura that the cousin exuded just now was something that even the current princes couldn't possess. He was simply, simply like a tyrant!

Mrs. Zhen did not notice that Lai Fu no longer joined her in criticizing Gu Huaizhou as he did before.

She spoke thoughtfully, "I didn't expect that little bitch Yan Qing would hook up with Gu Huaizhou?"

Nanny Li suddenly stepped forward and said, "Madam, what a great opportunity!"

Mrs. Jane looked at her suspiciously.

Nanny Li whispered, "Didn't Madam want the man from the West Garden to marry? Why not marry the Second Miss to him? This way, the Third Miss will give up, and Prince Lu will see the Second Miss's true colors. From now on, he will only have the First Miss in his heart!"

"This is a great plan!"

Madam Zhen's expression changed slightly, but then she shook her head: "Although the master doesn't like that little bitch, she is the legitimate daughter of the Yan family after all, and has a family like the Ye family. Even if she divorces Lu Qiaonan, it won't be the turn of that poor scholar Gu Huaizhou, unless..."

"I disagree!"

Suddenly, a coquettish voice sounded.

Yan Yue, the third young lady of the Yan family, rushed in with a whip in hand, followed by a bunch of disheveled servants and maids.

"Yue'er?"

Mrs. Jane looked at the whip in her daughter's hand and said disapprovingly, "You hit someone again?"

"Who told them not to let me leave Qiyue Courtyard?"

Yan Yue snorted coldly, and seemed still not satisfied after she finished speaking. She raised her hand and whipped the crowd, scaring the maids and servants so much that they screamed in fear.

Mrs. Zhen said, "You guys go down first."

"Yes."

The maids serving Yan Yue breathed a sigh of relief instantly.

Even if they were beaten all over, they dared not leave without their master's permission.

Otherwise, you will be beaten even harder.

"mother!"

Yan Yue stamped her feet: "I haven't finished letting out my daughter's anger yet!"

Mrs. Jane soothed him, "Well, what brings you to my place so late at night?"

Yan Yue said with a sullen face: "Why did you let someone lock me up?"

Nanny Li stepped forward and said, "Miss San, Madam is doing this for your own good."

"You're putting people in my cousin's room just for my own good?"

Yan Yue suddenly became excited, her eyes red as she glared at Madam Zhen: "You know that I've loved my cousin since I was a child, yet you still want to separate us. Mother, I'm making this clear today! If my cousin is with another woman, I, I won't live anymore!"

"I think you are crazy!"

Mrs. Jane said sullenly, "Is it worth it for a man?"

"worth!"

Yan Yue yelled, "My cousin is the best man in the world. I'm willing to do anything for him!"

"Nonsense!"

Mrs. Jane slammed her hand on the table in anger.

Nanny Li was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward and covered Yan Yue's mouth: "Oh my dear aunt, please keep your voice down. If you wake the master up, you will not be put in solitary confinement..."

Yan Yue pushed Nanny Li away and suddenly lay on the couch, crying loudly: "I don't care, I don't care! You can't force women on my cousin anymore, wuwuwu..."

"Isn't this a failure?!"

"Then you can't give Yan Qing to your cousin?"

Yan Yue sobbed: "She is a divorced woman, how can she be worthy of Cousin Gu..."

Mrs. Jane was given a headache by the noise.

She absolutely disagreed with her youngest daughter's liking for Gu Huaizhou. Gu Huaizhou was nothing but a scholar. Why did he marry her Yue'er?

Although Tan'er was Lu Qiaonan's concubine, Lu Qiaonan was the crown prince after all, and now he was the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards appointed by the emperor.

Who is he, Gu Huaizhou?

He's not even worthy of carrying Lu Qiaonan's shoes.

But the youngest daughter was obsessed with it. If she went too far, Yan Yue would cry, make a fuss, and even threaten to hang herself.

Mrs. Zhen then thought of taking advantage of Yan Qing's wedding to drive Gu Huaizhou out of the house, but she didn't expect it to fail!

She had clearly drugged that loser and given him a female slave that day, but in the end, everything fell through because of Yan Qing's divorce!

Yan Qing is simply her nemesis!

Sudden--

Madam Zhen rolled her eyes. What Nanny Li said was right. Perhaps she could take this opportunity to make Yue'er give up.

"Okay, stop crying."

Madam Zhen took out a handkerchief and wiped Yan Yue's tears, saying helplessly, "Yue'er has wronged me this time. It's not me who wants to force Yan Qing to Gu Huaizhou. It's Gu Huaizhou who likes her. What can I do?"

She winked at Matron Li.

Nanny Li immediately said, "Yes, Third Miss, you like your cousin, but he doesn't like you. Why do you make yourself suffer..."

Madam Zhen sighed, "Yue'er, mother knows you're upset, but a short pain is worse than a long one. Since Gu Huaizhou has someone in his heart, let's not force him..."

"No, I'll force it!"

Mrs. Zhen originally wanted her daughter to give up, but she didn't expect Yan Yue to not only refuse to listen, but also suddenly stood up. She wiped away her tears and announced almost paranoidly: "Cousin Gu, he can only be mine!"

After saying that, he rushed out.

"Quick, stop her!"

Mrs. Zhen was stunned for a moment and immediately asked someone to stop Yan Yue.

But it was too late.

Yan Yue was like a calf, rushing towards Yan Qing's Qingyi Courtyard in anger.

……

At this time, Qingyi Courtyard was completely silent and everyone had fallen asleep, including Yan Qing.

It’s a pity that others are dreaming, Yan Qing...

But it's a nightmare!

She dreamed of that magnificent secret room again, with her portraits all over the walls, some crying, some laughing, some sad, some cheerful, almost all her joys and sorrows were included.

There are even various poses of her as a child.

Yan Qing found it strange. She had never painted so many portraits before, and her own childhood appearance was blurry. But every painting here was lifelike, as if the painter was standing in front of her.

She looked around, but this time she didn't see Gu Huaizhou.

In the middle of the secret room lay a very luxurious and exquisite coffin, and inside the coffin seemed to be a person...

For some reason, there seemed to be a deep suction force pulling Yan Qing towards the coffin.

She didn't know what she was thinking, but she suddenly wanted to see who was lying in the coffin.

Gu Huaizhou? Or...

"what--"

When the face in the coffin came into view, Yan Qing suddenly screamed and woke up.

Yan Qing sat on the bed and gasped for breath.

The little face was as pale as paper, the dark pupils were constricted, full of horror and fear.

She was actually in the coffin——

Saw herself!

Yan Qing will never forget that haggard face in his lifetime.

That's exactly how she looked when she died!

But why did he appear in Gu Huaizhou's secret room?

Still in that coffin...
