Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!
Chapter 336 - Chapter 336 Chapter 336 The Suffering Wife VS The Mistress

Chapter 336: Chapter 336: The Suffering Wife VS The Mistress (Part Twenty-Two) Chapter 336: Chapter 336: The Suffering Wife VS The Mistress (Part Twenty-Two) Jian Jia and Zhi Lan rarely saw their young miss so infuriated, and they had no idea what Zhang Mingshu had actually done. With hearts beating fast and filled with trepidation, they followed Gu Shengyin back to the mansion.

Once she entered her own room, Gu Shengyin instructed them not to mention today’s incident to the family and dismissed them to guard outside the room, finally allowing herself to breathe a sigh of relief.

At last, she was rid of those two.

Presumably, during this period, Zhang Mingshu’s days would become very uncomfortable, and Qin Yuanzheng couldn’t be any better off, right?

Up next, all she needed to do was wait for an opportunity to dissolve the engagement between herself and him.

Gu Shengyin had not expected that such an opportunity would come so swiftly.

The reason, of course, lay with Emperor Xiande Qin Shao.

It was said that ever since Qin Shao realized his feelings for the little sister from the Grand Tutor’s house, he had arranged for Hidden Guards to be by her side primarily to protect her safety.

Hidden Guards naturally surrounded Qin Yuanzheng and Zhang Mingshu as well.

However, when dealing with these two, Qin Shao didn’t bother to consider their privacy; their every nocturnal stirring was investigated and recorded in precise detail.

Gu Shengyin’s conversation with Zhang Mingshu had also come to his knowledge very clearly.

“That woman, she actually dared to be fierce with my little sister?” Qin Shao was furious in his heart.

In his eyes now, Gu Shengyin was nothing short of a treasure at the top of his heart. Who was Zhang Mingshu to dare speak to her like that?

In the mind of Qin Shao, Zhang Mingshu was already as good as a dead object. Of course, along with her, was her dear cousin.

The current Qin Shao couldn’t wait to make his young aunt realize the true faces of these two people, to know that her eagerly-anticipated fiance was actually such a man.

Should the Emperor wish to find an opportunity, opportunities would surely present themselves to him.

The autumn hunt.

Qin Yuanzheng, who was usually unremarkable and overlooked by His Majesty, was unexpectedly chosen to serve His Majesty during the hunt, which got the entire Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion incredibly excited.

You see, in the setting of the autumn hunt, those allowed to attend His Majesty were either extremely favored high officials or ministers whom His Majesty took notice of.

Could it be that His Majesty meant to reuse their Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion?

The Old Princess Consort specially called her grandson over, “Yuanzheng, you must perform well this time and leave a good impression in front of His Majesty. The prosperity of our Prince of Zhenbei’s Mansion relies on you.”

Qin Yuanzheng was brimming with confidence, “Grandmother, rest assured, your grandson will certainly not disappoint you,” nor will he disappoint His Majesty.

He didn’t say the latter part aloud, but the proud expression on his face said it all.

Gu Shengyin was also to attend this autumn hunt.

As a country established on martial prowess, every noblewoman of Qi Country had to know at least the basics of riding and archery, even if they weren’t experts in the field.

Gu Shengyin wore a fiery red riding outfit that hugged her figure perfectly, outlining her shape flawlessly. Her ebony hair, bound high with a white Jade Clasp, revealed her exquisite face in full view.

Simply smiling was enough to dazzle incomparably.

Gu Shengyin had arrived together with her younger sister from the Liang Residence, Liang Jinyu. Liang Linyu was too young for such an event and thus unsuited for it.

Upon reaching the hunting grounds, aside from Liang Jinyu and a few young ladies who usually got along well with the sisters of the Liang Residence, the rest seemed to intentionally keep their distance from Gu Shengyin.

Gu Shengyin glanced at them, somewhat puzzled: Could it be that her party resembled a fearsome flood or beast?

Liang Jinyu knew the look on her face meant she was unaware of her own allure.

After all, who would willingly stand beside someone who could effortlessly overshadow them and cause them to pale in comparison?
