Ruan held Qiao for several days, but she would not have gone to see Gu Qingyuan if Gu Zhiyuan hadn't scolded her.
Afraid that Gu Qingyuan would not want to see her, she covered her face and went there with great fanfare.
When I saw Gu Qingyuan, I still couldn't tell the truth.
"Hey, Ayuan. Speaking of which, we were also forced. I don't know when Marquis Jingyi found out about your life experience..."
"He came to your door and forced me to reveal your identity."
"It's just that you are a child raised by the Gu family and you have nowhere to go. The more I think about it, the more distressed I feel. Why don't you come and take you back quickly?"
Mrs. Ruan sat on the chair. She didn't believe that Gu Qingyuan, a helpless orphan, could survive in a big family like the Pei family.
That day when she saw Mrs. Chengen, she wrote a letter of divorce to Gu Qingyuan on the spot.
Although later, for unknown reasons, the divorce letter was no longer counted.
Otherwise, she would have full confidence in reviewing Qingyuan's affairs.
Of course, the chances of winning are quite good now.
Ruan thought that she was right to blame Lawrence Lu for revealing her identity.
What Ruan could think of, how could Gu Qingyuan not think of it?
He half-closed his eyes and smiled faintly,
"I wonder what identity Madam is going to ask me to return to when I come here? An orphan girl who was picked up?"
Ruan twisted her handkerchief, thinking that Gu Qingyuan was asking for her identity, and her originally anxious heart became more confident.
"Of course you are still the daughter of Duke Zhen. You are still on the Gu family's genealogy."
"With your status as the daughter of the Gu family, your life in the Pei family will surely be easier. As for the dowry, you only need to pay back 90% of it..."
Gu Qingyuan smiled lightly, and then slowly put her smile back.
Are you using not only the identity of the daughter of the Gu family, but also the dowry to dangle her?
She said lightly "Oh",
"Mrs. Ruan Er, the dowry that day was left by my mother Qin. I wonder what you should do if you take it back?"
Her eyes fell on Ruan, as if she knew Ruan's thoughts clearly.
Mrs. Ruan smiled so hard that she couldn't believe her words.
"You child, what can you do if you take it back? Doesn't your mother also care about her family? Of course it will be confiscated."
Gu Qingyuan raised her eyebrows, Gu Zhiyuan and his wife are really good at planning.
Dragging back the dowry given to her by the Qin family and confiscating it to the public servant was a very bold thing to do and say.
She smiled suddenly and said,
"Mrs. Ruan Er, is there any bad news coming from the border? What happened to Lord Zhen Guo?"
"Do you want me to go back and take the blame?"
"How do you know?" As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Ruan suddenly realized that he had made a mistake.
Gu Qingyuan's face was not surprised.
Are you in such a hurry to take me back because you want to find someone to blame? Are you afraid that Duke Zhen Guo's affairs on the front line will implicate you?"
"Your coming today can only prove that there is bad news."
As soon as these words came out, Ruan's face turned pale.
However, the next words made Ruan even more shocked.
Gu Qingyuan said with a half-smile,
"You and your wife really don't leave any room for anything. It's just exposing my identity. I didn't expect you to want to run away with your mother's dowry."
Ruan's whole body froze, "It's impossible. Don't talk nonsense."
"Mrs. Ruan Er, have you ever thought that up to now, there is no definite news from Duke Zhen Guo? Maybe it is a good thing. When Duke Zhen Guo comes back safe and sound in the future, how will you explain to him?"
"Not only did you drive me out of the Zhenguo Palace, but you also occupied his first wife's dowry and finances. You are also preparing to sever ties with him in order to protect yourself."
"Guess what will happen if Duke Zhen gets angry?"
Gu Qingyuan pressed her every word, making Ruan's whole body tremble.
Although Duke Zhenguo has not returned to Beijing for many years, it is just because he does not want to return to the sad place where he saw the Qin family live.
But once you know how they treated the things left by the Qin family all these years.
The Guoguo Guild was angry.
She actually forgot.
Killing someone is like cutting a melon.
Ruan shivered and felt a chill on her neck, as if there was a real knife on her neck.
Gu Qingyuan no longer wants to be with Ruan Shixu,
"Although I am an orphan, I can't do anything you can do. You can steal other people's dowries, or you can run away when the Duke of Zhen is in trouble."
"I just hope you don't regret it. One day, you can return to the Gu Mansion just like Xi Quan."
These words kill every word without showing blood.
It completely uncovered what Gu Zhiyuan and his wife wanted to do.
"You. You little bitch."
Almost instantly, Ruan, who had been suppressing her good looks, became angry with embarrassment.
"You haven't changed the world yet. It's too late to be arrogant when you wait."
"I'm waiting for the day you are kicked out of the Pei family, and I'm waiting for you to beg me."
Ruan stood up with a puff of sleeves. Before she could go out, she heard a chuckle, the voice was distant and cold.
"Mrs. Ruan Er is quite concerned about my master's housework."
Ruan didn't expect that Pei Jinting would suddenly appear.
I saw him leaning against the door with his arms folded, his expression relaxed and his voice casual.
"Mrs. Ruan Er may not know very well, but what about me..."
"Although I have no achievements, I will never burn down bridges."
"I can't even do anything heinous. I'm afraid of retribution, such as my family members being bitten by millipedes..."
After so many days, Ruan thought of Gu Yunniang's injury and Pei Jinting's cold and evil eyes in front of her.
My heart felt as cold as a sudden enlightenment, and my whole body was as silent as a cicada.
Presumably, they have long been resented.
Gu Yunniang is now lying on the bed, plagued by bad diseases, and has constant nightmares almost every night.
She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to survive it.
Ruan was really scared.
She was really afraid that if she stayed for a little longer, Pei Jinting would come into the house and kill Gu Yunniang tonight.
She really couldn't figure out what it was that Mr. Pei San, such a wandering noble man, wanted to see in Gu Qingyuan's wood.
How virtuous and capable is Gu Qingyuan?
Ruan Shizhi came with great satisfaction and left in despair.
In the side hall where guests were waiting, Gu Qingyuan looked at Pei Jinting, who looked not very good at the door, and stepped forward.
"Pei Jinting, I want to see His Majesty. Can you help me?"
She thought for a moment, no matter what the situation in northern Xinjiang was.
There has been no news yet from the fifty secret guards sent out by the emperor.
Maybe it has already been transmitted, but it was just triggered but not released.
No matter what, she inherited the kindness of the Qin family and was protected by the Zhenguo government, and lived a stable life for eighteen years.
Pei Jinting pursed her lips and looked solemn for a long time.
"For the Duke Zhen's affairs?"
Gu Qingyuan took a deep breath and smiled,
"As a relative of a minister, my father guards the border and has already prepared for the worst, but..."
Pei Jinting sneered, interrupted her words, and said lightly,
"You go and change your clothes, and I will take you into the palace."
Then, I didn't know what came to mind, and said meaningfully, "Gu Yuanyuan. You haven't made any progress at all recently."
These words came out of the blue, leaving Gu Qingyuan stunned for a moment. She clenched her fingers and hesitated for a long time, then sighed and turned her head.
Let’s go see the emperor first.
Looking at Gu Qingyuan's back, Pei Jinting told herself not to rush, otherwise it would only scare people away.
