Gu Qingci opened his eyes, the burning pain of poisonous wine still lingering in his throat.
There was great joy outside the window, and the betrothal gifts of the third prince were carried into the Marquis Mansion.
In her last life, she accepted this job, and then her whole family died.
She lifted the quilt and got out of bed, took the engagement letter and tore it up. She asked Qingdai to carry the things back intact, with a note attached:
"Your Highness keeps it to prepare a coffin for himself."
The whole capital said that the idiot beauty in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion was crazy.
No one knew that she had been sober all her life.
She began to secretly investigate old cases, dig up hidden clues, and dismantle the third prince's right-hand man. Every step he took was steady, but every step was stepped on first.
On the day when the teahouse set up a trap, as soon as she put down the bait, the door was kicked open.
Xiao Yuan stepped in and sat opposite her, raising his legs on the table: "You know how to dig a hole? Dig one for me too."
Gu Qingci spilled the tea: "Get lost."
He's really gone. A piece of paper was pressed under the broken porcelain pieces, and the three loopholes in her plan were circled with ink pen. The last line was:
"Next time, please help me and bring two jars of peach blossom wine from Zuixianju."
Later, she rummaged through his mansion and dug out a hairpin from the bottom of an old box with her maiden name engraved on it.
She held up the hairpin and asked him: "Who are you?"
Xiao Yuan put on a bastard smile and was quiet for a long time.
"Gu Qingci, I came back three years earlier than you. In my previous life, I was at the border on the day you died. After running for three days and three nights, when I arrived at the execution ground, you..."
He didn't finish. She saw his eyes were red.
Later, the third prince's sword was placed on her neck. Xiao Yuan got off the horse and threw the sword away.
"Let her go. I give it to you."
Later, he knelt down to her in front of a court of civil servants.
"Follow me. From now on, you will be in charge of money, and I will be in charge of killing people."
She held his ears without letting go: "Xiao Yuan, stop me from using the word 'Master'."
He bared his teeth: "Okay. Wife."
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty suppressed their laughter and held back a stick of incense.
No one knows that he has waited two lifetimes for this "wife".
