The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 209 Lure Li Xiang

However, it was said that Shunxi, who entered the Zhenguo Palace through a distant relative of the Guo family, was originally from a poor family and had a poor family. In the early years, he could barely survive on the few acres of farmland at home and studied for several years until he was in his early twenties.

He was only a scholar, but he couldn't afford to support his family, so he tried every possible means to get a job at the Zhenguo Duke's office.

Shunxi works in the accounting office of the government. It turns out that when Guo was in charge of the family, he fawned over Guo and helped Guo make money, and he benefited from it a lot. But since Jingshu took charge, he no longer has this convenience.

.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. This Shunxi is a greedy person. He was used to sweetness in the past, but now he can no longer bear the hardship.

He was thinking about ways to make a fortune every day in the Duke's Mansion, and then he thought about Guo Cui's niece Guo Cui's cigarette.

Seeing that Guo Cuiyan looked weak and harmless, he thought she was a good deceiver, and he was trying to trick Guo Cuiyan. Although Guo Cuiyan's family was in decline, she was also a member of the official family, and she had a lot of people.

Mrs. Guo supports her, if he can get her, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life.

At the beginning, Shunxi hid deeply in front of Guo Cuiyan, pretending to be loyal and easy to control, and tried her best to deceive Guo Cuiyan's trust.

Shunxi is a shrewd person. After several tests, he found out that Guo Cuiyan was a kind-hearted person on the outside but cunning on the inside. He was more greedy than him. He wanted to be the master of the house.

Shunxi wanted to give up, but then he discovered that there was something fishy between Guo Cuiyan and Mei Niang, until Guo Cuiyan begged him once and secretly sent a few letters to the house of Li Xian's political enemy.

Shunxi didn't understand the key at first. It wasn't until Mei Niang died tragically and Li Xian was impeached that he began to think carefully about the way out.

This guy took advantage of Guo Cuiyan and regained his hope. He put away his original disguise of loyalty, revealed his true colors, and began to use this matter to threaten Guo Cuiyan even more.

But this Guo Cuiyan was also cunning. He tried every trick, both soft and hard, but she just refused to give in.

Shunxi held the abacus in her hand, but her heart became more and more irritable as she thought about it.

He was in the accounting room thinking about how to conquer Guo Cuiyan, when a little girl came in and said she was looking for him.

Shunxi recognized this girl and she was from Guo Cuiyan's yard. When he saw this girl, he immediately put a smile on his face and asked: "What do you want from me, girl?"

The little girl handed a letter to Shunxi and replied: "This is what Sister Chunhong asked me to pass on to you. It is a letter that the young lady wants to send home. I asked you to take the time to go to the post house to help send it."

Shunxi was overjoyed. Guo Cuiyan would not come to him even if she had a letter to send home. Could it be that under his threats in the past two days, this little girl finally knew she was afraid and wanted to give in to him.

Shunxi agreed readily, and after the little girl left, he couldn't wait to open the letter.

Sure enough, this letter was written to him.

There were only a few words, asking him to meet at the top of the cliff outside the city the day after tomorrow.

Shunxi burned the letter and began to make plans in her mind.

If you are sincerely good to him, why would you make an appointment outside the city and do it secretly under the pretext of sending a letter home?

Shunxi was not a fool. He rolled his eyes and figured out Guo Cuiyan's trick.

Could it be that he wanted to kill him and silence him!

You are such a cruel little girl. Since you have evil intentions, don't blame me for taking advantage of you.

Shunxi made up her mind and began to pay careful attention to Guo Cuiyan's movements.

On this day, Li Xiang went on night duty in the inner court.

On the morning of the second day, after he finished his duty, he left the inner palace. Li Xiang yawned and got on his horse. Halfway through, he saw Chunhong, the personal maid next to Guo Cuiyan, running toward him in panic.

Before Li Xiang could ask, Chunhong threw herself on the ground and begged anxiously: "Third Master, it's not good, my girl met a bad guy in the teahouse, please Third Master, please go and save my girl."

Li Xiang had a simple mind. After listening to Chun Hong's words, he got off his horse and asked anxiously: "What's going on? Cousin, what kind of bad guy did she meet? Is it serious?"

Chunhong cried gracefully: "My young lady went shopping today and was drinking tea in a teahouse. She happened to meet a drunken dandy. When he saw my young lady's beauty, he made frivolous remarks. My young lady was just angry.

I poured tea on the man, but he refused to let me go and insisted on dragging the young lady to see the official. Third Master, I beg you, go and help my young lady out."

When Li Xiang heard this, he didn't think much and said angrily: "There is such a madman at the feet of the majestic emperor. Please lead the way quickly."

Seeing that Li Xiang had taken the bait, Chunhong readily agreed and was about to take him away when she saw the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo coming towards them from a distance.

Chunhong screams something bad.

Sure enough, when the carriage approached, it was Xu Wanning again.

Xu Wanning opened the curtain of the car and asked: "Third brother, do you want to go home after getting off the bus? Where are you going?"

Li Xiang stepped forward and hurriedly repeated what Chun Hong had just said to Xu Wanning.

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "It turns out that's why. Third brother doesn't have to stand up for my cousin. I happened to pass by there just now and I have already rescued my cousin. Now I have ordered someone to send her back to the house."

She looked at Li Xiang and said with concern: "You have just finished the night shift and are very tired. Go back and rest quickly."

Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "So that's it. Fortunately, I was caught by my sister-in-law, so I went back to my house."

"I was on duty all night last night. I have to go back and catch up on my sleep." As he said that, Li Xiang yawned and left on horseback.

After Li Xiang left, Xu Wanning said to the pale Chun Hong, "I finally got to see this good show set up by your master and servant today."

With that said, she ordered her entourage: "Take this girl to Chun Yun Teahouse together."

In the private room of Chun Yun Tea House, Guo Cuiyan was alone, but today she was different from the previous days.

At this moment, her hair was disheveled and her clothes were messy, as if someone had just forced her to do something.

Guo Cuiyan really believed what Xu Wanning said. She was worried about Li Xiang's marriage with the Murong family of Jiangdong.

If Li Xiang, the big fish, also ran away, she would no longer have the chance to live in such a beautiful life in the Duke's Mansion.

In desperation, Guo Cuiyan and her maid made a poisonous plan to frame Li Xiang. As soon as Chunhong led Li Xiang into the box, she would pounce on Li Xiang like this. Chunhong called everyone again and said

It was Li Xiang who molested her.

Although she would lose her reputation as a good friend, she still relied on Li Xiang. The Duke of Zhenguo had no choice but to marry her out of shame.

Although she will be disgusted by Li Xiang for this, she doesn't care at all even if she doesn't get the love of her husband for a woman like Guo Cuiyan who only wants to be a master and enjoy the glory and wealth of the government.

Guo Cuiyan is waiting anxiously in the box.

When she heard the creaking sound of the door opening, she hurriedly rushed forward and hugged him without any explanation.

But when she saw who was coming, she let out a scream that didn't sound like a human voice.

"Why is it you!"

Guo Cuiyan immediately let go of her hand and looked at Shunxi with a sly smile on her face in horror.
