Chapter 157 Knowing it was a trick, but powerless
Concubine Gao is almost mad with anger!
Ji Chuhe is so arrogant!
That’s admitted!
No cover at all!
"Ji Chuhe, don't be too happy too soon! Do you think my father will fall for your evil plan?"
"I also want to see the result, Concubine Gao, let's wait and see?" Ji Chuhe's tone was so infuriating.
"Ji Chuhe, you are really arrogant to the extreme!"
"No, I disdain those shady and sinister tactics. I openly use the same beauty trap on Concubine Gao. That's all."
A good one and nothing more.
Concubine Gao sneered, her face full of disdain and contempt, and turned away without even saying goodbye.
She did not return to the palace, but hurried to Gao County Magistrate's Mansion.
Ji Chuhe also left the theater.
The carriage slowly drove towards the palace, and Nanny Ji was full of questions.
"Miss, you told Concubine Gao your plan so openly. Aren't you afraid that Concubine Gao will tell Magistrate Ji?"
"Whether I tell her or not, as long as Miss Qingyu shows up and attracts the attention of County Magistrate Gao, Concubine Gao will suspect me. In that case, what's the difference between me telling her directly?"
"That's true, young lady." Madam Ji nodded. "Should we send someone to protect Miss Qingyu? I'm worried that Concubine Gao will do something to her."
"Have someone secretly watch, and never take action unless it's a matter of life and death."
"Yes."
……
Qingyu is the girl that Ji Chuhe raised on the farm.
He came here for revenge after being persecuted by Zhou Dahu.
No matter what her identity or name was in the past, now she is the new popular star in the opera house, Miss Qingyu.
Ji Chuhe knew in her previous life that the lover who had passed away for more than 20 years lived in County Magistrate Gao's heart. She also knew that there were more than a thousand portraits stored in County Magistrate Gao's study.
They were all painted by him, and they were all about his beloved who passed away young.
In his previous life, County Magistrate Gao could only think of the people when he saw the paintings, and he was almost obsessed with it. Once, when there was a fire in County Magistrate Gao's mansion, he abandoned the main house and sent people to rescue the study, just to save those paintings.
In this life, a woman with a similar temperament to his beloved appears. What should he do?
Not to mention Concubine Gao, even if Concubine Gao's biological mother were alive, she might not be able to stop it.
Concubine Gao hurriedly caught up with County Magistrate Gao's carriage.
"Father, it's me. I have something to discuss with you."
"Come up." County Magistrate Gao responded.
Concubine Gao immediately got on the carriage and found that County Magistrate Gao’s eyes were red, and her heart suddenly tightened.
After sitting down, she didn't know how to start.
"What's the matter?" County Magistrate Gao asked.
"Father, I heard that you have been in close contact with an actor recently." Concubine Gao thought for a moment before speaking.
County Magistrate Gao's expression suddenly darkened. "Don't beat around the bush, what do you want to say?"
"What I want to say is that this person was sent by Ji Chuhe! Last time, we used the beauty trap to seduce Xiao Yanan, and Ji Chuhe used the same method to fight back against us!" Concubine Gao hurried to explain.
"Nonsense!" County Magistrate Gao shouted angrily, and his face instantly turned gloomy.
"Just now, I was also at the theater! It was Ji Chuhe who invited me to go to the theater with her, clearly wanting me to see my father's entanglement with that actor! Moreover, she also admitted it herself! Jingyu was sent by her to seduce your father!"
"Is Ji Chuhe a fool? She sent people to seduce me and told you?" County Magistrate Gao asked angrily.
Concubine Gao choked and was unable to refute.
"Father, you must believe me. What I said is true. If you want to marry a second wife or take a concubine, I will not stop you. But you cannot have any contact with this actor anymore."
"You said that Miss Jingyu bewitched me? She really hates me! You should have seen me fighting with her in the theater just now, and she almost stabbed herself to death with a hairpin. Is her behavior like what you said about wanting to bewitch me?"
Concubine Gao choked again.
What should she say so that her father would believe her?
Why is my father so stubborn?
"This... this is playing hard to get! The more unattainable something is, the more attractive it is to my father!"
"Don't interfere in the matter between me and Jingyu. I know my limits!"
"Father!"
"Also, don't touch Qingyu. If I find out that you attacked her, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between father and daughter!"
Concubine Gao's face turned pale.
My father’s words are too serious!
He actually used the relationship between father and daughter to threaten her.
why?
What kind of charm does this Qingyu have that could make her father fall in love with her in such a short time?
"Go away. I have things to do." County Magistrate Gao gave the order to leave in a cold voice.
Concubine Gao held back what she wanted to say and said, "Yes, my daughter will take her leave."
Ji Chuhe's people have been following County Magistrate Gao and Concubine Gao.
The news soon reached her ears.
Ji Chuhe said as she arranged the embroidery thread, "The worse Concubine Gao looked when she got off the carriage, it represented how unpleasant the conversation in the carriage was."
"Miss, why is County Magistrate Gao so interested in Miss Qingyu?"
"Governor Gao had a beloved woman who was a former actress. At the beginning, he almost eloped with the actress, but was discovered by the Gao family and captured. They threatened the actress' life and forced Governor Gao to marry Concubine Gao's mother. They wanted to take the actress as a concubine, but the actress died suddenly, and Concubine Gao's mother was a strong suspect." Ji Chuhe explained softly.
Nanny Ji did not doubt the source of the news.
She just thought that the young lady had asked the princess's people to secretly investigate and obtain it.
"So, now, in the eyes of County Magistrate Gao, Jingyu is the actor from back then! But, there can't be someone so similar in the world, right?"
"That actress has long passed away. County Magistrate Gao knows better than anyone that she can't be brought back to life. So, we don't need to work hard on her appearance. The main thing is her spirit, personality, and the costume. She will definitely be a perfect stand-in."
After hearing this, Nanny Ji nodded in admiration.
"Miss, you are so predictable!"
Ji Chuhe smiled faintly and continued to arrange the embroidery thread.
……
Qingyu currently lives in a small farmyard arranged by the class owner.
Other people from the troupe also live here.
As soon as she returned to the courtyard, several people rushed in and held her down.
Jingyu glanced at the people in front of him, and a barely perceptible smile flashed in his eyes.
"Ah!" She screamed, her body shaking violently, "Who are you and what are you doing!"
"Shut her mouth!" the leader shouted.
"How dare you break into someone's house and rob them in broad daylight! Do you still have any respect for the law?"
The people in the troupe stood up and wanted to protect Qingyu.
"Mind your own business!" the man shouted viciously at everyone.
He was holding a knife in his hand. No one in the troupe dared to step forward. They watched helplessly as Qingyu was kidnapped and thrown into the carriage outside!
"Go tell the boss!"
Qingyu sat in the carriage with her hands and feet tied, but there was no trace of panic in her eyes.
