On the way back, the man suddenly asked a question.

"Doesn't Jun Qiyuan know that your childhood name is Wanwan?"

Shen Fu rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "I haven't even told you, why would I tell him?"

Wanwan was her childhood name. After she grew up, no one called her that anymore, except for Shen Xiucheng, the mischievous devil, who would occasionally use it.

Why are they all so interested?

"His reaction seemed a little unusual when I called you that just now?"

Shen Fu noticed this, but didn't take it to heart.

Everyone has a sense of curiosity. Jun Qiyuan had known her for a long time, yet he didn't even understand such a small matter and still dared to try to control her. It was inevitable that he would feel somewhat frustrated.

Of course, these are not important.

Today's victory was a resounding success. Thinking of the ugly expressions on his and Murong Xiao's faces in the palace just now, as if they had swallowed flies, she felt extremely pleased and would definitely have a proper celebration when she got back.

As night fell, everyone gathered at the Xuanwang Mansion.

Jun Jingyan and Jun Anning, brother and sister, were filled with endless gratitude and admiration for Shen Fu.

Not only because she helped them avert a huge crisis, but also because people were curious about how she came up with such a meticulous and ingenious plan.

"When I first heard Princess Xuan mention that they might switch the bride during the wedding, I couldn't believe it. The palace is heavily guarded; how could they possibly pull off such a stunt under the noses of so many people? I never expected you to be right."

Shen Fu muttered to herself, "Anyway, it's not like it's the first time."

I thought they could come up with something new, but it turned out to be the same old thing, which was boring.

"What?"

"It's nothing. The eldest prince of the Northern Dynasty was initially very unwilling to agree to this marriage, but he suddenly agreed readily and even took the initiative to ask to get married on the same day as An Ning, so I couldn't help but become suspicious."

It's normal that they couldn't understand why she was so conflicted.

Since she's been given a second chance at life, she naturally has an extra brain compared to them.

Jun Jingyan couldn't help but ask again, "I know about everything else, but what about Su Yingxue?"

Shen Fu smiled mysteriously: "Do you know what a double agent is?"

She quickly explained the whole story.

It turned out that she had already guessed that they would try to win over Su Yingxue to cooperate.

The reason is simple: no one would willingly go to the Northern Dynasty for a political marriage. If there is a way to avoid this marriage, they would naturally be eager to do so.

Jun Qiyuan and the others clearly grasped this point and took the opportunity to persuade Su Yingxue to cooperate with them in tampering with the wedding day.

Therefore, she had people keep an eye on the Prince of Nan's residence, paying close attention to their movements.

Sure enough, Jiang Ruoyao and Su Yingxue met privately and secretly plotted.

After Jiang Ruoyao left, she immediately appeared and explained the pros and cons to Su Yingxue.

Even if their plan succeeds, so what?

Even if the Eighth Princess is indeed switched, who can guarantee that she will escape unscathed?

Once the truth comes out and the emperor is furious, it won't matter if she herself is convicted, but the entire Nanjun Prince's Mansion will be implicated.

Su Yingxue was an exceptionally intelligent woman who understood things very quickly.

In fact, although she was tempted by Jiang Ruoyao's suggestion, she always maintained a degree of rationality.

She felt that doing so was too risky, as it would implicate her family if exposed, so she did not agree immediately, only saying that she would consider it.

Shen Fu's words completely awakened her, making her realize the seriousness of the matter, and she made it clear that she would never collude with them.

Seeing that she was so sensible, Shen Fu naturally wouldn't treat her unfairly.

He immediately promised to help Su Yingxue escape the arranged marriage, on the condition that she pretend to agree to Jiang Ruoyao's request in order to obtain information about her.

They fell for it!

In this way, she learned all of the other party's plans without lifting a finger, and even the details were clear.

This is what is meant by "know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

When Jun Anning learned that Jun Qiyuan had conspired with Murong Xiao, she was furious.

"What a humble and unassuming fourth brother! He's actually such a despicable and vicious villain!"

Even if Shen Fu didn't say it, Jun Jingyan could roughly guess it.

He never expected that his fourth brother would be so audacious as to commit "treason and collusion with the enemy."

But now is not the time to act impulsively; the important thing is to find out the truth first.

"And what about Meng Wan? What happened to her?"

Shen Fu couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

If we want Su Yingxue to escape the "fire pit" of a political marriage, then someone else has to be thrown in.

She didn't want to harm other innocent women, so she could only harm someone she had a grudge against.

Meng Wan was so vicious in her previous life. Not only did she instigate Jun Qiyuan to wipe out the entire Shen family, but she also wanted to throw their corpses into a mass grave to feed the wolves!

She would naturally not show mercy to such a person!

So she had Meng Wan drugged and kidnapped, then dressed her in a human skin mask to impersonate Su Yingxue.

Speaking of which, I must thank a certain sage doctor for his cooperation.

She was not only a master of both medicine and poison, but also unparalleled in the art of disguise.

The drug she developed could make people lose their minds and fall into a deep sleep, but their bodies could still move.

The human skin masks she made were even more convincing, with even the small mole below her eyebrows and eyes being incredibly lifelike.

Even though Jiang Ruoyao went to Qingyun Palace, she did not realize that the person in front of her was not Su Yingxue, but Meng Wan in disguise!

Furthermore, her timely appearance with Jun Anning prevented Jiang Ruoyao from having further contact with her, making their plan even more seamless.

Of course, there's one last step—the fiery red horse charging into the bridal procession!

The matchmaker was to sit in the sedan chair with the bride. They had been bribed in advance, and after getting into the sedan chair, they would put on a second human skin mask.

When the chaos broke out, they lifted the veil and saw "Jun Anning's" face, thinking they had succeeded.

In fact, everything was within Shen Fu's calculations.

Jun Anning only knew the general plan, but not the specific details.

Before she got into the sedan chair, Shen Fu secretly squeezed her hand to reassure her.

She couldn't imagine that behind this "sense of security" lay such meticulous and delicate thoughts.

Shen Fu was speaking with great enthusiasm when she suddenly saw her burst into tears, which puzzled her.

"What's wrong?"

Jun Anning choked up and said, "What great blessings did I accumulate in my past life to meet such a 'benefactor' like you!"

Just when she thought she had escaped, she found that another trap awaited her.

She simply couldn't imagine what kind of situation she would have ended up in if she hadn't met Sister Shen.

Perhaps she didn't even have the chance to refuse the marriage alliance before being sent to the Northern Dynasty.

Even if they manage to escape by sheer luck, they will continue to plot against them.

One wrong step and you'll be dead without a burial place.

It was incredibly dangerous and nerve-wracking at every turn!

Seeing her like this, Shen Fu felt both heartache and helplessness.

If I told her that they all died tragically in their past lives, she would be terrified!

Helping her is also helping yourself!
