Gongsun Yanli pondered, the puppet emperor secretly still held some power, and with the Gongsun Family allied with the Pear Blossom Villa, even if Xiao Yuchuan’s Poison King Valley had integrated the Tianji Pavilion and the Xiao Family’s power, the situation could still remain balanced. Now that the Xiao Family and the Tianji Pavilion are having an ’internal conflict,’ it’s all the better. Thinking about this, he smirked. "The young Master seems quite pleased?" Little Nine asked cautiously. "Our sixth sister is soon to marry Chang Haotian. This will further stabilize the Gongsun Family’s power, a great rejoicing indeed." Gongsun Yanli stood up from behind the desk, "Send more satin silk and jewelry to sixth sister’s room." "Yes." Little Nine added, "Master, the fifth Miss wants to see you." "That Gongsun Qianru, the disgrace to the Gongsun Family. Were it not for the fact that our sixth sister is about to get married, I would have already given her to Landlord Li from the east city. As she is to be a concubine in the Li Family, after all, a second marriage and just a concubine, to avoid the disgrace of the Pear Blossom Villa, we’ll wait until the sixth sister has married, then get Landlord Li to come with a sedan chair to take the fifth sister. Tell the fifth sister to behave herself, she need not see me, the Li Family’s bride price is already received, no need to create further trouble." After saying this indifferently, Gongsun Yanli, along with Little Nine, left the Study Room. The two did not notice Gongsun Qianru standing rigidly at the corner of the Study Room. Older brother truly is heartless. Back then, she merely did not support him, instead supporting the third brother as the family head, she never imagined he would be so petty, as to send her to be a concubine for Landlord Li. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹~𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮~𝚗𝚎𝚝 She had someone investigate that Landlord Li, and found out he is over fifty years old, with one wife and four concubines, and three sons. She would be marrying into the Li Family as the fifth concubine! After older brother became the head of the Gongsun Family, third brother was exiled far away to manage a small shop. And she... now turned out to not even be the real younger sister of older brother and third brother, just a concubine’s daughter born of Aunt Qin Hui. How did it come to this? Gongsun Qianru thought of the glory when everyone assumed she was the legitimate daughter, and how she was originally betrothed to Xiao Yuchuan, the heir of the Xiao Family. It’s all because of Su Qingyue! If it weren’t for Su Qingyue’s interference in her marriage to Xiao Yuchuan, even if her identity as a concubine’s daughter was revealed, she would have long ago married Xiao Yuchuan, maybe she would even have given birth to several children for him by now. It’s Su Qingyue who ruined her entire life of happiness! She won’t let that wench get away with it, she wants Su Qingyue to die miserably! Clutching the handkerchief in her hand until it deformed, she searched her mind for anyone she could use, thinking of any way to bring Su Qingyue down. She was no match for the Master of the Tianji Pavilion. Just now overhearing older brother and several senior ministers, she came to realize that the servant by Su Qingyue’s side called Fu Chou might actually be Zhao Mingcheng, the son of the former Country General. Surely, no matter how capable Su Qingyue is, she can’t overturn the massacre case from fifteen years ago. She would start with Zhao Mingcheng. At a tea shop under the Tianji Pavilion’s name, Fu Chou undertook an inspection on behalf of his master, and as he stepped out of the shop, a young maid blocked his path, "Excuse me, are you Housekeeper Fu?" "And who are you?" Fu Chou glanced at her, "Ah, it’s the young lady Summer Lotus who serves the fifth Miss Gongsun." "Housekeeper Fu truly has good eyes, we only met briefly outside the Su Mansion, I didn’t expect you to remember me." Xia He complimented. "What do you need from me?" "The thing is, my young lady has urgent matters to discuss with Housekeeper Fu, asking you to meet at the Yuelai Inn."
