In the Gu family, and even in the word-of-mouth of the entire Kyoto family, Qingyuan of the Gu family has always been calm and gentle.
Even her face, I have never seen her show off.
Gu Qingyuan is so sharp tonight, something Ruan, who has watched her grow up, has never seen before.
He was a little stunned for a moment and looked at Gu Qingyuan blankly.
Gu Qingyuan's eyes were a little red, and her feet on the ground hurt terribly.
"You...you dare to contradict your mother!" Ruan came back to her senses, pinched the handkerchief, and reprimanded her through gritted teeth.
Gu Qingyuan only felt harsh when she heard the word "your mother".
"Auntie is Gu Yunniang's mother. Who is my mother? Has auntie forgotten?"
"Gu Qingyuan!" Ruan yelled loudly and could be heard outside the courtyard door.
Gu Qingyuan looked at Ruan family calmly, "Aunt, my mother is in the ancestral grave of the Gu family, in Jingmingxuan."
"You..." Mrs. Ruan was speechless by her support. Her face was sullen, and she pointed at Gu Qingyuan with her hand holding the handkerchief, trembling.
When she looked at Gu Qingyuan again, there was a look of sadness in her eyes, "I know you resented me, so I shouldn't have adopted you to my eldest brother back then..."
Gu Qingyuan has watched this kind of drama countless times.
She tugged at her lips, filled with sourness and nowhere to vent it.
She was adopted as soon as she was born, and others envied her for having two mothers. One was a gentle and caring biological mother, and the other was a high-status adoptive mother.
Gu Qingyuan was raised under the knee of the Duke of Zhen Guo's wife. As the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhen Guo, she spent endless money and enjoyed endless blessings.
Only she knows that under the bouquet of flowers that outsiders see, she has nothing.
In the first few years, when Mrs. Qin, the original wife of Zhen Guogong, was still there, she was properly taken care of for several years.
Later, Mrs. Qin died of illness, her stepmother came in, and Duke Zhen went to the frontier. She no longer had a mother.
She is just a beautiful sign.
Ruan's chest rose and fell violently twice, and then he opened his eyes again. There was suppressed anger in his eyes. It seemed that he couldn't get any benefits from Gu Qingyuan today.
She said coldly, "After all, she is a girl who is about to get married, and her wings have become stiff."
After he finished speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and left.
When she walked to the door, Gu Qingyuan stopped her.
For a moment, Ruan thought she was going to apologize for her behavior just now.
The next moment, she heard Gu Qingyuan say, "Auntie, if you want Yun Niang to marry into a good family, you should control her well and don't think about anything that doesn't belong to her."
Ruan took a deep breath, rolled up her sleeves and left.
Gu Qingyuan watched her back disappear outside the door, and slowly sat down holding on to the bed rail, with a smile on her lips.
She formed an alliance with Pei Jinting, which was just a bad move.
She is not afraid of her reputation being damaged by stealing a bride.
What she fears is going from one prison to another.
Would Ruan not know about the immoral things Gu Yunniang and Lu Wenze did?
Lu Wenze is young and promising, and he attacked the Marquis early on. Such a popular man has made many people jealous.
Ruan didn't know how many harsh words she had said in front of her.
They hooked up together, maybe with Ruan's help,
Just now, she gave Ruan family advice and a warning.
What will Ruan do?
She will wait and see.
There was a gentle push on the door, and she thought it was the maid coming in. "It's late at night. You can go and have a rest. There's no need to come in."
After the words fell, the other party did not respond, and the door was still pushed open.
Gu Qingyuan stood up slowly, walked across the screen, and stared blankly at the tall figure under the lamp.
Different from when he rescued her in the daytime, at this moment he took off his jade crown, tied his black silk stockings behind his back with a ribbon, and his wide-sleeved robe made him look extremely lazy.
Pei Jinting walked forward and Gu Qingyuan stepped back.
After two or three steps, Pei Jinting stopped, stared at the slight resistance on her face with unpredictable eyes, and said,
"I am here just to deliver medicine to you."
He raised his eyebrows slightly, swung his sleeves and walked toward the couch behind the screen.
Gu Qingyuan hesitated for a moment and then followed her, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. It's already late at night, so I won't delay your return to rest."
When Pei Jinting saw Gu Qingyuan's suppressed anger, he pulled his lips apart and clicked his tongue softly,
"You can't tell, Gu Yuanyuan, you are really heartless.
He slowly walked around to her, raised his hand and tapped the tip of her nose.
The low voice is kind and mellow,
"Are you going to demolish the bridge before you even cross the river?"
Gu Qingyuan turned her eyes towards the man and saw him slowly raising his eyebrows and looking at her with a playful smile,
"Gu Yuanyuan, do you want to break the alliance with me by encouraging your aunt to cause trouble?"
