Gu Qingyuan's neither salty nor bland words seemed to have much power, but they almost made Gu Yunniang lose her composure.
Ever since she was at Huangzhuang, Gu Yunniang had had a bad premonition in her heart.
Gu Qingyuan is very beautiful, and she does have a good reputation, but she is just a wooden beauty.
It's just that she has never heard Gu Qingyuan speak to her in such a tone.
She couldn't help but almost told her all the truth, but she bit her lip to restrain herself and said aggrievedly,
"Sister, things are not what you think. I...have no feelings for brother Wenze between men and women, I just regard him as a brother..."
Gu Qingyuan suddenly felt a little ridiculous.
Which family's elder brother and younger sister would rub shoulders with each other, entwined like two mandarin ducks?
From childhood to adulthood, she has been described as the child of other people by the elders of many aristocratic families in Beijing.
Her popularity is not very good.
But what does that matter? She is loved by her elders and has Lu Wenze as her fiancé.
enough.
She always thought that she and Lu Wenze were in love.
It wasn't until the scene at the Imperial Mansion that she was caught off guard.
Lu Wenze stood there, feeling a little embarrassed, as if Gu Qingyuan had seen through it.
He knew he was sorry for Gu Qingyuan, but he was confident and subconsciously believed that no matter what he did, Gu Qingyuan would forgive him.
If Gu Qingyuan could be like other women and show weakness in front of him, he would not do those things whenever she acted coquettishly.
Lu Wenze said with a smile, gentle and genuine,
"Ayuan, I went to the Imperial Hospital early in the morning to get your medicine for your injury. It is specially used to treat sprains."
"Since you have nothing to do, I will go back. There are still many wedding matters in the house for me to decide."
"If you have any other requests, just ask and I will do it for you."
There was an affectionate and flattering smile on his handsome face.
Gu Qingyuan couldn't help but wonder how he could pretend to be so hypocritical.
However, just when Lu Wenze wanted to say a few words to Gu Qingyuan, a sad voice broke the slightly stiff atmosphere.
Mrs. Ruan brought a group of maids to the door. With tears in her eyes, she said sadly,
"Ayuan, my aunt was so anxious yesterday. You came back safely."
She used to be like this in front of Gu Qingyuan. At that time, Gu Qingyuan would follow her and act filial to her juniors in order to be quiet.
However, looking at her now, she felt as if her heart was being steamed in a cage, which made her feel extremely depressed.
"Aunt..." She turned slightly and called out in an unfamiliar tone.
Ruan abruptly put her hand in the corner of her eye to wipe her tears, but did not go over to hold Gu Qingyuan's hand.
"What are you talking about? It's all my aunt's fault. Yesterday when Yun Niang came back, she said that she shouldn't be separated from you when we were in the Imperial Mansion."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have left you alone in Huangzhuang and almost been in danger."
"Fortunately, God showed mercy and didn't let anything happen to you. When the day gets better, I will definitely go to Tantuo Temple to offer incense and thank God."
As she spoke, she nodded and smiled at Lu Wenze.
"Master Marquis, this servant is not sensible and will misunderstand me. I called you here early in the morning..."
Shuangzhi standing behind Gu Qingyuan intercepted her words,
"Second Madam, the Marquis is here to deliver medicine to our girl."
Ruan was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, talking about how kind Lu Wenze was to Gu Qingyuan, Xu said a few words, wiped her tears and said,
"Ayuan, the Duke is far away in the border area now, and your mother doesn't care about anything. Now your aunt is taking care of your marriage..."
"If you knew you would encounter such a disaster if you went to Huangzhuang, I wouldn't let you go at all."
Shuangzhi, who was standing behind Gu Qingyuan, said again,
"Didn't the second lady come to see our girl last night? She scolded her for getting angry with the Marquis and implicating the second girl? Why do we seem to have just met her today?"
"If our girl's marriage is arranged by Madam, will anything go wrong?"
Ruan was exposed by a maid, and her face felt hot.
But this maid was given to her by the third son of the Pei family.
She couldn't afford to offend him, so she could only grit her teeth and force out a smile.
