Pulled into the Camp

"Auntie..." A maid hurriedly approached from the side.

Auntie Yun changed her previous calm demeanor and said in a low voice, "Leave us."

Only the two of them remained in the room.

Gu Shiyan looked at her with a smile but didn't say a word.

Auntie Yun, seeing her like this, felt a sense of dread, but she quickly calmed herself. "Fifth Miss, what do you mean by that? I don't quite understand. If you think I have engaged in improper relations with someone, you can simply tell Master."

That was her strength.

"Don't you understand, Auntie? If you forget him, who else in this world will remember him?" Gu Shiyan lightly curved her lips, her eyes sharp, exuding an aura that came from long-standing power.

Little did anyone know that this favored concubine of Gu Jingwen's had been won over through unscrupulous means.

Fu Yunheng was not only Auntie Yun's cousin, but they had also been engaged since childhood.

It was just a few days before their marriage when Gu Jingwen coincidentally encountered Auntie Yun and fell deeply in love with her, to the point of being preoccupied day and night.

He sent someone to propose marriage, promising Auntie Yun the position of an honored concubine, but his offer was rejected.

On the day before Auntie Yun's wedding, Fu Yunheng suddenly fell off his horse and died.

Coincidentally, the Yun family was also embroiled in a lawsuit on the same day.

Regardless of the unsightly process, Gu Jingwen ultimately obtained Auntie Yun.

Unfortunately, over the years, Auntie Yun never forgot about Fu Yunheng.

In the previous life, in order to avenge Fu Yunheng, Auntie Yun stabbed Gu Jingwen with scissors.

In a fit of anger, Gu Jingwen ordered her execution.

This was his so-called love, truly laughable!

Auntie Yun remained unmoved by her words. She made great efforts to maintain her calm expression and smiled lightly, "It's late at night, and I'm tired. Fifth Miss, please leave."

But her heart was in turmoil.

How did she know that name?

And what did Gu Jingwen know?

Gu Shiyan slowly stood up.

Auntie Yun thought she was going to leave.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly strode to the edge of Auntie Yun's bed and, amidst Auntie Yun's startled gaze, pulled out a sharp pair of scissors from under the pillow.

Gu Shiyan carefully examined the scissors, lightly laughing. "Auntie, why did you hide a pair of scissors under your pillow? Were you planning to use it on someone?"

Auntie Yun had a sense of being exposed, tightly gripping the handkerchief in her hand.

She had been hiding this pair of scissors under her pillow all along, and on several occasions, she couldn't control herself and wanted to stab Gu Jingwen in the chest.

"Fifth Miss is joking. It's just for dealing with some nightmares these past few days," she maintained her calm demeanor.

But Gu Shiyan saw the hidden panic in her eyes.

She approached slowly, placed the scissors back into Auntie Yun's hand, and whispered, word by word, "Auntie, with just this small pair of scissors, not only can you not kill him, but you will also ruin yourself. If you're gone, no one will avenge him, and he'll become a wronged spirit."

Auntie Yun's hand trembled, almost losing her grip on the scissors. She tugged at her stiff face and said, "Fifth Miss, you like to joke. I really don't understand what you mean. Why not call Master here and let him clarify?"

She was using Gu Jingwen to press Gu Shiyan.

Gu Shiyan didn't expect her to admit so easily. She smiled lightly, firmly grasping Auntie Yun's wrist, and whispered, "Auntie, he sacrificed everything for you. In your dreams at midnight, have you ever dreamed of him?"

With just that sentence, Gu Shiyan effortlessly shattered all of Auntie Yun's pretenses.

"..." Her eyes turned bloodshot, her expression gradually twisted, and she covered her mouth tightly with her hands, tears streaming down.

How could she forget her cousin?

He was her beloved one...

Whenever she had dreams at midnight, she would dream of him.

Over the years, she never forgot him for a moment.

Gu Shiyan took a step closer, handing Auntie Yun a handkerchief, and whispered, "Auntie, do you want revenge? I can help you."

As soon as she said this, Auntie Yun forgot to cry. "Fifth Miss, but you are..." her father!

...

After a while, Gu Shiyan left Auntie Yun's courtyard.

Just wait and see!

Auntie Yun would not disappoint her.

Sure enough, she had barely laid down for a while.

"Zheng zheng zheng..." A melodious sound of the zither echoed through the residence, like flowing water in the mountains, capable of making people forget all their troubles.

Gu Shiyan gently opened her eyes, a smile as enchanting as a blooming spider lily blooming on her lips. It was incredibly captivating.

Admittedly, tonight, Madam Wei would not be able to sleep!

"Bang bang bang..." Indeed, when Madam Wei learned that Gu Jingwen had gone to Auntie Yun's courtyard, she flew into a rage, her hair disheveled as she swept everything off the table.

"Despicable people, all of you are despicable..." She screamed hysterically.

Frightened, the maids and servants in the room cowered, not daring to say a word.

...

The next day, early in the morning.

While everyone was still in their slumber.

"Ah..." Suddenly, a scream came from Auntie Yun's courtyard.
