My husband is a traitor

Chapter 144 Concubine, Ming Lan

Qi Rui's face was shocked.

He pursed his lower lip slightly, but didn't respond for a moment.

Seeing this, Gu Mingzhu hurriedly grabbed his sleeve, and said persistently, "Be sober... I'm all for you, for the Duke's mansion, for the sake of our Gu family... Jiang Linlang's keeping is a disaster, she will kill her sooner or later Ours! You can't be soft-hearted anymore, cousin... Oh, even if you don't believe me or my father, you should listen to my aunt!"

Gu Shengchang was at the side, and his sullenness subsided a bit. Hearing this, he felt satisfied with Gu Mingzhu's reaction at this time.

In the future, the mother of the country can only be his daughter. Qi Rui, as the direct son of the queen of the Gu family, should have married their daughter of the Gu family.

But this kid, today, turned against him and helped outsiders, even their enemies, to deal with his uncle!How to make it?
Qi Rui's eyes were full of complex emotions, and then he looked calm, stretched out his hand into Gu Mingzhu's expectant eyes, and slowly brushed away her hand that was tightly clutching his sleeve, "This is not the reason for you to do evil."

"Uncle, I just pretend that I don't know about today's matter. My nephew will cover up the account book for you. As for the prime minister, I can also find a way to solve it together. Just one thing, you are not allowed to touch Jiang Linlang again. This is My bottom line, otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will have a confrontation with my uncle and cousin next time."

After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands modestly and politely, looked at Gu Mingzhu who was greatly shocked, with red eyes and tears streaming down his face, the corners of his mouth twitched, and finally he swallowed his comforting words.

With a flick of his sleeves, he left with his servants.

"Plop—" Gu Mingzhu suddenly fell to the ground as if she had lost her backbone. Her delicate makeup was weeping, and her beautiful eyes were full of sadness and shock.

For a long time, she gritted her teeth, tasted blood in her mouth, and firmly grasped the corner of the skirt that was unfolding like a peony flower on the ground, pulling the fabric until it deformed, and then clenched it tightly.

——She shouldn't have listened to her father, she should have beaten that bitch to death!
In this way, how can my cousin miss it!

"Send the eldest lady back to the room!" Gu Shengchang was so angry that he was contradicted by his nephew, and he couldn't fight back. The eldest daughter, who was like a jewel in his palm, looked so devastated that the veins on his forehead twitched, and he flicked his sleeves. Leaving the hall in a negative mood.

Helping Gu Mingzhu back to the room, the maids didn't dare to make a sound, they were cautious.

"Elder Sister? What's the matter, Eldest Sister?" When they walked to the backyard, they happened to meet a gentle and quiet girl in light green clothes.

Seeing that Gu Mingzhu was lost, her eyes were red and swollen as if she had been crying, she couldn't help asking.

Hearing this voice, Gu Mingzhu suddenly bit her lip, and stared at the girl with a beautiful face and well-behaved manners like a knife, "Gu Minglan, there is no need for you to be hypocritical!"

The girl's name was Gu Minglan, and she was the second young lady from the Duke's Mansion, a concubine who was not very favored.

One year younger than Gu Mingzhu, and about the same age as Jiang Linlang.Although her appearance is outstanding, under the light of Gu Mingzhu, she looks like a dim star.

It's just that her temperament is gentle and soft, not as domineering as Gu Mingzhu, and she has a bit more of the ladylike air of a dignified and quiet girl from a family.

Hearing this, Gu Minglan was not annoyed, she sighed slightly, and then gently instructed the maidservant who served Gu Mingzhu, "It's good to serve the eldest lady, and be careful..."

"Get out! Little bitch, I know you want to see me laughing—" Gu Mingzhu was hit hard by Qi Rui's words and indifferent attitude. She was angry at first, but now seeing Gu Minglan who is gentle and gentle with her maid, Seeing this face that is always gentle and forbearing, I can't wait to step forward and tear her apart.

"Pearl!"

Gu Mingzhu's eyes were red, and her long and pointed nails made a gesture to swing at Gu Minglan.Gu Minglan was frightened and stepped back, her maid was even more nervous to stop in front of her to protect her.

At this time, a faint female voice sounded.

Surrounded by the maids, Mrs. Gu walked over steadily step by step, took the cloak handed over by the maids, and put it on for Gu Mingzhu, who immediately turned around aggrieved, "Mother!"

Hearing her daughter's aggrieved cry, Mrs. Gu patted her on the back distressedly and comforted her gently.

His eyes looked at Gu Minglan sharply and indifferently.

"I met my mother."

"I have seen Mrs."

Gu Minglan and the maid saluted.

Looking at this well-educated concubine, Mrs. Gu's eyes would overflow with coldness. If Gu Shengchang hadn't valued the second daughter of this concubine, she would not have tolerated the existence of this concubine.

The reason why Gu Mingzhu's actions were stopped was because he was afraid that Gu Minglan would sue Gu Shengchang, and secondly...

Mrs. Gu looked at her daughter who couldn't stop crying. She and her pearl should not spread the bad reputation of abusing concubine daughters and concubine sisters.It's just a young lady from a concubine, after all, she's old enough to marry off casually.

It's not worth her pearl to get angry.Mrs. Gu gently patted the precious daughter who was crying aggrievedly in her arms, and said coldly——

"Your eldest sister is in a bad mood, so don't make trouble with her."

Faced with Mrs. Gu's slightly contemptuous and indifferent words of warning that could not be ignored, Gu Minglan's delicate face paled slightly, but she just lowered her eyebrows and responded docilely, "Yes. Minglan resigns."

"En." Madam Gu gently pushed Gu Mingzhu away from her arms, and stopped looking at Gu Minglan, her face was full of motherly love and pain, she wiped Gu Mingzhu's tears with a handkerchief, "Okay, okay, Stop crying, go to your mother's house, let's go."

Gu Mingzhu cried so much that her shoulders trembled, she looked so pitiful, she obediently followed Mrs. Gu, surrounded by a group of maids and women, and headed towards the east courtyard.

It wasn't until they walked away that Gu Minglan straightened up, and the maid behind her hugged her injustice in a low voice.

"Miss, you obviously cared about it out of good intentions, but the eldest lady and madam... this is too bullying!" Seeing her young lady being wronged, the servant girl couldn't help but say that.

A trace of helplessness flashed across Gu Minglan's gentle face, the soft light in her eyes was not aggressive at all, and she reprimanded in a low voice, "I can't say that. Remember, I'm just a young lady born from a concubine, and the eldest sister is a young lady born directly. My mother is the wife of the Duke, the mistress of a mansion. If you want to make your life not difficult, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. What should be said and what should not be said should not be forgotten at all times."

Seeing Gu Mingzhu's back clinging to Mrs. Gu, a trace of envy flashed in Gu Minglan's eyes.

"Don't blame others, if you want to blame, just blame me for being born as a concubine."

Sighing lightly, although she was envious and a little bit unwilling, Gu Minglan's delicate face showed no jealousy or complaints, and she walked towards her yard.
