"Today, Zuo Lanshuang asked Chu Qin to go to appreciate the flowers, but she didn't take any action." Shen Nanqiao was a little dissatisfied.
Shen Zhengjie said, "Why are you so anxious, little sister? The Taoist priest said before that the magic is to influence people imperceptibly, without anyone knowing, rather than to control people all at once. Wouldn't it be too obvious to attack Chu Qi the first time they met? Anyone would feel that something is wrong, and it would not be good to investigate it deeply. Besides, the other protagonist is not here today, don't you want to solve all the problems at once? It is better to wait for the right time."
Shen Nanqiao thought for a while, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "But isn't the Fourth Prince still in confinement?"
"Do you really think this guy will stay in the mansion obediently?" Shen Zhengjie sneered. After his rebirth, he made many arrangements and planted countless spies. It was easy for him to find out the weaknesses of those people. Especially in the mansion of the Fourth Prince, which he was most familiar with, it was easier for him to do anything.
It can be said that he would be the first to know any movement in the Fourth Prince’s mansion.
Since being put in solitary confinement, this seemingly well-behaved man has been secretly restless and even accepted a beauty from Jiangnan sent to him by his subordinates.
The second prince was similar, even more extravagant than the fourth prince. Not only women but also handsome men were sent to him. It can be said that he was not afraid of anything. But he never took the second prince seriously, and he had no ability to compete with the other princes.
When Shen Nanqiao heard this, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. Why had she been so obsessed with such a thing in her previous life?
"Then let Chu Qi be proud for a while." Shen Nanqiao was relieved. "Brother, you'd better mention it to the Taoist priest. It will be the right time when that person is here. It would be better to let Zuo Lanshuang take action."
By then, the matter of the Fourth Prince and the two women being together would become a big deal. One was the daughter of the Minister of State, and the other was Chu Qi, who was brought back to the capital by the Sixth Prince. The reputations of the three of them would be ruined, and it was reasonable for her to want to cancel the engagement. After all, who would have thought that she, Shen Nanqiao, was unwilling to have this marriage? No one could have imagined that the siblings had a hand in it.
The reason why he chose Zuo Lan Shuang to do it was that the Fourth Prince was unwilling to accept being imprisoned in his previous life, and struggled desperately after the Sixth Prince ascended the throne. He had tried to harm the Sixth Prince several times before but failed, so he wanted to harm Chu Qi, who was crowned as the Queen, thinking that he could at least cause some trouble for the other party.
At that time, the person controlled by Taoist Bai Hong was Zuo Lan Shuang, the one who had been waiting for the Sixth Prince for many years and was unwilling to marry. Even if they investigated later, the magic would have almost dissipated. Others would only think that Zuo Lan Shuang was unwilling to do so, and even Zuo Lan Shuang herself would not realize that she was being calculated.
Unfortunately, it still failed.
The fact that they were unable to harm Chu Qi can only be attributed to the fact that the people around the Sixth Prince were too powerful.
"Don't worry, I've already mentioned this to the Taoist priest, and he has already hinted to Zuo Lan Shuang." Shen Zhengjie said, "If she can't kill three birds with one stone, she won't act easily."
"Then I have to keep an eye on it." Shen Nanqiao had a victorious smile on her face. She thought the scene was exciting and didn't want to miss it.
Shen Zhengjie didn't say much. Taoist Bai Hong was so powerful, how could ordinary people resist him?
In his previous life, the Sixth Prince almost fell into the hands of Taoist Bai Hong, but unfortunately the Sixth Prince was luckier and was always able to escape danger.
The others were not as lucky as the Sixth Prince. They could deal with each other accurately and there was no way they could escape.
The days that followed were relatively peaceful, and Zuo Lan Shuang would ask Aqi out every now and then.
Those who originally wanted to laugh at Zuo Lan Shuang found that she seemed to be really making friends with Asui, so they stopped laughing and just felt it was a bit strange.
The noble lady who was more familiar with Zuo Lan Shuang found an opportunity to ask Zuo Lan Shuang what was going on.
Zuo Lanshuang's answer was this: "Miss Chu's flowers are very good, I like them, but it's a pity that Miss Chu loves flowers too much and has only given me one so far."
"Are Chu Qi's flowers really so beautiful?" her best friend was surprised.
Zuo Lanshuang smiled and said, "Yes, it is that good. Unfortunately, it is very rare for ordinary people to receive flowers from Miss Chu. I am just lucky."
The pink rose is naturally good, and just one petal can make people clear-headed.
After she returned that day, she mentioned this matter to her mother and divided the pink roses to avoid being plotted against again. Although the rose petals were dry now, it did not affect the effect, and made them feel that Chu Qi was very capable, and it was not easy to offend such a person.
Later, she invited Chu Qi to meet him because she wanted to make friends with him. Whether she could make friends with him was one thing, but at least she didn't want to offend him.
Judging from the other party's attitude, he doesn't have any ill feelings towards her, which is enough.
Occasionally, in order to test the intentions of the person behind the scenes, she would put a sachet filled with flower petals in the hands of the head maid, and then she would follow that feeling to do something.
But she still couldn't find out who was behind the plot, so she planned to get some information from Chu Qin.
She guessed that person also had his eyes on the Sixth Prince, otherwise there would be no reason to harm Chu Qi. Why did he choose her? There were more things in it, which she really couldn't guess for a while.
A'qi noticed Zuo Lan Shuang's anxiety but didn't say anything. After all, she was not in a hurry.
Zuo Lanshuang had no choice but to find an opportunity to ask: "Miss Chu, please tell me the identity of that person."
"The Mighty Marquis' Mansion." Ah Qi had no intention of keeping the other party in suspense. If the other party had asked, she would have answered long ago. If she kept procrastinating, she would be the one who would suffer.
Zuo Lan Shuang hadn't expected it to be so easy. Only then did he seem to understand that this person actually didn't like beating around the bush with others.
Only a capable person would dare to ignore everything, right?"Thank you Miss Chu."
"Let's make an appointment another day."
Back in the carriage, the smile on Zuo Lanshuang's face disappeared. She really hadn't thought about this.
There were few people in the Weiwu Marquis's mansion, and the only unmarried woman was Shen Nanqiao, who was also engaged to the Fourth Prince. This was why she had omitted this person during her investigation. Her intuition told her that Shen Nanqiao was involved.
After going back to check, they found that there was indeed something wrong with Shen Nanqiao and his sister.
Zuo Lan Shuang was not a stupid person. He quickly realized what Shen Nanqiao was planning and let out a terrifying sneer in the middle of the night.
What a good Shen Nanqiao, he actually dared to plot against her.
I don't know how it got around, but there's a legend among the noble ladies in the capital that a girl named Chu who lives on Willow Street in the west is good at growing flowers, and even a hundred gold coins won't buy her a single flower.
When Asui heard this legend, he was also silent.
The reason was that today a lady who loved flowers came to visit her and wanted to see the flowers she planted. Her eyes were full of desire for flowers.
Lan Xin was laughing secretly, she had not expected this rumor. Originally, the fact that Miss Chu was good at growing flowers was just something Zuo Lan Shuang used to fool people.
Well, who knows.
"I have a pot of sick orchid here. I wonder if Miss Chu could take a look at it?" The visiting lady was very polite. Although she didn't see any beautiful flowers in the yard, she also wanted to save her orchid.
Ah Qi did not refuse: "Then I will take a look for Madam."
She is good at flower care. (End of this chapter)
