Clouds and Moon Shadow

Chapter 302 The biggest scandal since the beginning of spring!

Those who were about to leave were instantly frozen in place, unsure whether to go or stay.

Upon hearing Qing'an's weeping, Princess An immediately turned and ran inside, no longer caring about anything else.

Gu Qingyue, who was squatting on a tree not far away, almost burst out laughing!

How could I possibly let you get away with this so easily?

Gu Qingyue was secretly laughing when she heard a commotion outside the courtyard as even more people arrived.

She glanced around and saw that many of them were young men from prominent families who were attending the Spring Appreciation Banquet.

This is going to be interesting!

However, I have to leave now, otherwise it will be troublesome if I get discovered.

So, before this large group of people arrived, Gu Qingyue cleverly slipped away and returned to the courtyard where they lived.

It was an hour later when I heard the follow-up to this matter.

Gu Qingyue lay lazily on the soft couch in the side room, watching Jiang Wan practically leap in. She couldn't help but frown, "What's making you so happy?"

"My lady, something has happened!" Jiang Wan said excitedly.

The little girl's eyebrows were dancing with joy, and the corners of her mouth were almost stretched to her ears; you couldn't tell at all that something serious had happened.

Gu Qingyue sat up straight in an instant, looking incredibly energetic.

Only now did Gu Qingyue realize that the unlucky fellow—no, the one with the most good fortune in love—was actually the Eighth Prince of the current dynasty!

She was in such a hurry then that she didn't ask her third brother, and only now does she find out.

So, Princess Qing'an committed incest! That was her cousin, wasn't it?

Gu Qingyue was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth for a long time.

She really wanted to know how her cunning third brother had chosen such an unlucky guy.

Isn't that a bit too daring?

The Emperor must investigate this thoroughly.

But would the Emperor investigate such a matter?

They're too busy covering it up, aren't they?

I remembered Jiang Wan saying that after she left, a large group of people came.

In the end, Princess Qing'an was carried out of the room, her body covered in bruises.

Princess An cried her heart out, while the Eighth Prince waved his sleeves as if nothing had happened and returned to his courtyard.

Now at least half the people in the entire villa know about it!

Talent shows have all been suspended; this is arguably the biggest scandal since the beginning of the year!

According to Jiang Wan, when she returned, there were still many people gathered around Chunhua Garden.

But that's none of their business, right? She doesn't know anything!

Princess Qing'an is only reaping what she sowed.

She stood up, looking refreshed, and led Jiang Wan out the door. She was going to find her third brother and get some answers.

As soon as she arrived near the garden where they were staying, Gu Qingyue saw several people sitting in a pavilion nearby.

Upon closer inspection, who else could it be but her three older brothers?

Gu Qingyue walked over quickly.

"Little sister, you've arrived," Gu Yuanen called out.

If you listen carefully, you can still hear the barely concealed laughter in his tone.

Gu Qingyue nodded and waved to Jiang Wan, signaling her to lead the servants outside the pavilion a little further away.

"Third Brother, are you alright? I heard that Princess An is crying her heart out. She probably hates our Duke Zhenguo's Mansion to death," Gu Qingyue paused, "and you too."

Gu Yuanming scoffed, "Would I be afraid?"

Gu Qingyue pointed to the sky, "Aren't you afraid of that person?"

Gu Yuanchen raised his hand and poured Gu Qingyue a cup of tea: "Little sister, don't worry, someone will handle it."

Gu Qingyue was bewildered: "Grandfather?"

Gu Yuanen coughed and said, "You don't need to worry about it. This matter today wasn't just our doing; there were others involved as well."

"So, that Eighth Prince wasn't brought here by you?" Gu Qingyue asked in a low voice, her curiosity burning fiercely.

"Of course not. Originally, we wanted to bring over that guy surnamed Jiang, since he was that person's fiancé, but someone sent someone else first," Gu Yuanchen said with a smile.

"Weren't you sleeping in your room?" Gu Qingyue glared at Gu Yuanchen.

Then he looked at Gu Yuanen and said, "So, you knew, but pretended not to, and even took me around looking for Third Brother?"

Gu Yuanen raised his hands in surrender, "I'm innocent, little sister! I didn't know beforehand; I only found out just now."

Gu Qingyue's eyes swept over the three brothers' faces. Oh well, who cares who was involved? As long as our own people didn't suffer any losses, that's fine.

She even drugged her! But she won't say anything.

"I heard the talent show continues in 45 minutes, are you going?" Gu Yuanming asked.

"Go ahead, we've already seen all the fun things, it's good to check out the arts and crafts too," Gu Qingyue said nonchalantly.

The three brothers looked at each other and shook their heads with amusement.

Now that someone was cleaning up the mess, Gu Qingyue was no longer worried.

When she led Jiang Wan leisurely to the Spring Appreciation Garden, the talent show had just begun.

She sat down next to the seat in the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and Madam Wei immediately came over.

"Are you alright, Yue'er? Zhu Qing said you weren't feeling well and went back home. How are you? If you're not feeling well, please rest more." The worried look in Wei's eyes touched Gu Qingyue slightly.

"It's nothing. I probably had an upset stomach at lunch, but I'm fine now. Have you forgotten that I'm a doctor?" Gu Qingyue said casually.

Wei took her hand and carefully examined Gu Qingyue's expression. Seeing that she looked alright, she felt slightly relieved.

But Liu, who was sitting in front, felt uneasy.

Why is that brat here again? Couldn't she have been a little sicker? How did she get better so quickly?

Besides helping her two daughters-in-law meet more people and make friends with more nobles, her main purpose in coming here was to stop Gu Qingyue's marriage.

There's no way to let the second wife climb higher and go further than the first wife.

"Yue'er, are you alright?" Madam Liu paused, then turned around, her face showing a kind and worried expression.

Gu Qingyue looked up and saw her face, which made her feel nauseous.

But she still smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm much better."

Just as the group was talking in hushed tones, the girl playing the piano on stage finished.

The crowd politely applauded, and the woman in the audience began to comment in hushed tones.

Gu Qingyue also looked up at the stage. Sure enough, only the old lady and Princess Pei remained on the main guest stage. Princess An was probably still pounding her chest in frustration.

"Which other young ladies would like to give a demonstration?" Princess Pei's voice rang out, and the murmurs from below the stage grew louder.

After waiting for a while, no one went up.

Everyone started looking around, checking who hadn't performed yet.

At this moment, a leisurely voice rang out: "I have heard that the Duke of Zhenguo's family, regardless of gender, is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I wonder if I would have the honor of witnessing the elegance of the young ladies of the Duke of Zhenguo's family this time?"

Gu Qingyue curled her lips. Who else could this be but that brainless Princess Chaoyue?

This is such blatant targeting, it's really too much!

"Your Highness, the two young ladies from the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion have already performed. I suppose Your Highness has misremembered," said Zhao Lingyun, who had been sobbing in front of the man just two hours earlier.

This person is up to no good. Wasn't she supposed to be grounded by her mother? Why is she still causing trouble?

Hehe------Gu Qingyue expressed her disdain.
