TFWYH – Chapter 696  Murdering My Own Sister

At the same time, Gu Yanshuang was too restless to sit still. Fear and anger battled within her.

She feared that Huangfu Yi would discover that she was behind everything.

But what angered her even more was that, in her eyes, Huangfu Ronglan had long been as good as dead. Yet now, it seemed that she might not die after all.

Wouldn’t that make all the revenge she had pursued over the years into a complete joke?

“I should have listened to you and killed that little bitch from the start!” Gu Yanshuang said viciously.

Beside her, Aunt Qiuwen lowered her eyes, a flash of mockery passing through them.

Not long after, a maid came to report,

“Princess Consort, they’ve all come! They’re all here!”

“What do you mean, ‘they’ve all come’? Speak properly!” Gu Yanshuang snapped.

Startled, the maid hurriedly steadied herself.

“The Eldest Prince, the Third Prince, and Lord Ling have all arrived. They’re all at the Lin Garden Waterside Pavilion.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Yanshuang clenched her teeth in fury.

When her precious Rongan had been granted the title of Princess, not a single person had come to offer congratulations.

Yet now, that idiot was merely having a parasite removed, and they had all rushed over.

Bitch!

Like mother, like daughter—just like Gu Yanran, she was a shameless hussy who only knew how to seduce men!

She would never let them have their way.

They wanted to remove the parasite?

Dream on!

Gu Yanshuang asked,

“Who is performing the parasite removal? Is it that County Lady Wengnai?”

It wasn’t entirely unreasonable for her to come to that conclusion. Mu Qingfeng had always visited under the pretense of paying respects to Huangfu Yi.

Only Tang Wan occasionally came to the Second Prince’s Residence specifically to help Huangfu Ronglan recuperate.

Moreover, Tang Wan was highly skilled in medicine. It wasn’t impossible that she also knew how to remove parasites.

No!

She definitely could!

The maid didn’t actually know who would be performing the procedure.

Thinking back to the group she had secretly observed earlier, only Tang Wan had been carrying a basket and had an acupuncture pouch hanging from her waist.

Thus, the maid arrived at the same mistaken conclusion.

“Yes! It must be County Lady Wengnai. It can’t be anyone else.”

“That bitch is always opposing me!” Gu Yanshuang slammed her hand onto the table in rage, unable to remain seated any longer.

“Qiuwen, help me change my clothes. I am Ronglan’s birth mother. Today is such an important day for her—how could I remain indifferent?”

“Yes,” Aunt Qiuwen replied obediently, lowering her head as she began arranging Gu Yanshuang’s hair and attire.

No one noticed that someone had been eavesdropping outside the door.

Huangfu Rongan had originally come to seek Gu Yanshuang’s help.

Who would have thought that she would overhear all of this instead?

County Lady Wengnai?

Tang Wan?

Why was that lowly village woman always going against her?

No!

Under no circumstances could Tang Wan be allowed to cure that idiot!

With that thought, Huangfu Rongan could no longer sit still. She had arrived silently with her maid and now left just as quietly.

As she passed through the garden, she saw the gatekeeper hurrying along.

A thought stirred within her heart, and she immediately called out to stop him.

“What’s the rush?”

The gatekeeper answered respectfully,

“Replying to the Princess, Prime Minister Gu has arrived.”

“Oh?” A flash of resentment crossed Huangfu Rongan’s eyes, but she quickly composed herself.

“Then what are you standing around for? Hurry and invite my grandfather inside!”

The gatekeeper looked troubled.

“But the Second Prince ordered that no one is to be admitted. This servant…”

“What do you mean, ‘no one’? That’s this Princess’s own grandfather! Is he just anyone? You blind dog of a servant—how dare you leave my grandfather waiting outside? Do you believe I won’t have you beaten to death?”

“Please calm your anger, Princess. This servant will go invite Prime Minister Gu immediately!”

Intimidated by Huangfu Rongan’s harsh rebuke, the gatekeeper hurried away to bring Prime Minister Gu inside.

As for Huangfu Rongan, she remained where she was, waiting.

Lowering her voice, she whispered several instructions to her maid.

The maid’s face immediately turned pale, horror filling her expression.

“Princess… that medicine is…”
