In a blink of an eye, it was mid - November. There were less than thirty days left until the banquet day at Prince Yu's Mansion.
During these days, Liu Yushu had fully recovered from her illness. Since she made up her mind to use Prince Yu to kill Wu Qing, she was no longer as indifferent to everything as before. Instead, she became positive and hard - working.
Liu Yushu asked Nanny Xie to find out Prince Yu's preferences. Learning that he liked watching singing and dancing performances, she sold her jewelry to hire teachers for singing and dancing and practiced diligently in the mansion every day. Fortunately, she was quite talented, and after a month of practice, she had achieved remarkable results.
In the morning, Qin Nuan'er, the dance teacher, arrived. Her red dress was particularly eye - catching. Qin Nuan'er used to be the top courtesan and the flower queen of Spring Night Pavilion.
It was rumored that Prince Yu had once spent a fortune just to watch her dance. After that, Qin Nuan'er's value skyrocketed. She only sold her art but not her body and soon earned enough money to redeem herself and left Spring Night Pavilion.
These details were not important. What mattered was that Nanny Xie told Liu Yushu, "Among the nobles in the capital, there has always been a scandal about Prince Yu, Dugu Fuya. It is said that Dugu Fuya and this Qin Nuan'er once had a child. Later, Princess Yu found out about it and forced Qin Nuan'er to take a miscarriage drug. After that, Princess Yu had a big fight with Dugu Fuya because of this incident and lost his favor."
Liu Yushu was amazed. So Dugu Fuya was not physically weak; he just didn't want to have a child with his concubine. It seemed that Qin Nuan'er could capture Dugu Fuya. Even if she couldn't win his heart, she could at least keep his company.
"Miss Qin, please wait. Our young lady would like to invite you to sit in the room," Nanny Xie called out to Qin Nuan'er.
Qin Nuan'er nodded with a smile. "Sure." Her eyes showed that she had expected this.
In the room, when Liu Yushu saw Qin Nuan'er coming, she stood up and bowed. She gave Nanny Xie a look. Nanny Xie turned around and asked Muchan to put the good tea and snacks on the table and then quietly left.
There were only two people left in the room. Liu Yushu tried to make small talk with Qin Nuan'er, going around in circles for a long time. Finally, Qin Nuan'er got straight to the point. "Miss Liu, please speak your mind. If I can answer you, I will tell you the truth."
Liu Yushu smiled, thinking that Qin Nuan'er was really straightforward.
"Miss Nuan'er, did you once have a child with Prince Yu?" Liu Yushu also spoke bluntly.
Qin Nuan'er gave a proud smile and glanced at her. "It's just a romantic rumor. Do you believe it, Miss Liu?" She picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"I do," Liu Yushu said firmly. She leaned closer to Qin Nuan'er and whispered in her ear, "I beg you, Miss Nuan'er, to teach me how to tie Prince Yu down."
"This..." Qin Nuan'er looked hesitant. "Miss Liu, you are extremely beautiful. With such a face, you are already enough to catch Prince Yu's attention. You don't need to worry about other things."
"No, please, Miss Nuan'er, you must teach me well," Liu Yushu said as she knelt in front of Qin Nuan'er. She grabbed Qin Nuan'er's sleeve. "I must be fully confident, because... I have a very charming competitor." The person she was referring to was, of course, Geng Rong.
Liu Yushu had promised to take Geng Rong to Prince Yu's Mansion with her. A few days ago, Geng Rong had sent someone to tell her to get ready.
That vixen Geng Rong. If she were to meet Dugu Fuya, Dugu Fuya might be completely infatuated with her. If that happened, Liu Yushu might lose her chance.
She had to find a way to defeat Geng Rong first.
Otherwise, she would kill Geng Rong!
