My husband is a traitor

Chapter 17

When Linlang returned to the pavilion, Gu Mingzhu was already talking and laughing with several young ladies around her.

Look, the mood is very good.

Hehe, of course.

She rolled her eyes inwardly, but there was a suitable smile on her face.

"Sorry for being late."

Gu Mingzhu stopped laughing immediately, her eyes drifted towards Jiang Linlang, and when she saw the white skirt with blue patterns, a smile flickered across her eyes.

If Jiang Linlang hadn't seen through her scheme, she wouldn't know what her eyes meant.

but now--

Jiang Linlang sneered from the bottom of her heart, her face calm.

"This dress looks really good on the Prime Minister's wife." Gu Mingzhu praised it with a smile.

In exchange for the flattery of many young ladies and women——

"Miss Gu is kind-hearted and generous, so she is willing to take out such a good dress. Look at the material, even Jinxiufang can't get it out!"

"it's beautiful--"

Jiang Linlang twitched her lips, raised her hand to brush her hair lightly, and took a seat, "Miss Lao Gu, don't worry."

"It should be, by the way, where is Qing'er?" Gu Mingzhu glanced away, and then remembered that her maid did not come back with Jiang Linlang.

With a calm expression, Jiang Linlang answered naturally, "Oh, that girl said she wasn't feeling well, so she went to the bathroom."

While everyone was having refreshments, Jiang Linlang said "go to the toilet" directly, and the expressions of many ladies and ladies changed a few times.

How vulgar!

Like Gu Mingzhu, everyone also concluded the same about Jiang Linlang in their hearts.

After hearing this, Gu Mingzhu frowned slightly, but seeing that everyone expressed their contempt and dislike for Jiang Linlang openly and secretly, she ignored the fleeting uneasiness and weirdness in her heart.

He raised his eyebrows proudly.

"Okay, I just mentioned the prime minister's wife. I remember that when my wife returned to Lin'an, I had a lot of misunderstandings with you. Today, taking this opportunity, Mingzhu offered her a glass of tea instead of wine. I have the right to apologize. .”

Everyone was amazed, Gu Mingzhu, who has always been proud, is willing to take the initiative to apologize?
Such things are really rare.

Therefore, everyone looked at Jiang Linlang expectantly.

Jiang Linlang fixed her eyes on Gu Mingzhu, who was holding a teacup and smiling elegantly. The latter raised her eyebrows, her eyebrows were bent, her smile was bright, and the flowing dark light in her eyes made people feel uncomfortable.

But she stood up calmly, picked up the teacup in front of her, raised her hand freely and generously, raised her neck, and took a sip.

With bright lips, he opened his lips and said quietly, "Miss Gu is serious."

This means that he has accepted the other party's compensation.But he didn't make a statement.

This Jiang Linlang really doesn't like oil and salt.

Many people witnessed this scene, and their hearts were both surprised and malicious. After all, one is a helpless orphan and the wife of the prime minister, and the other is the eldest daughter of the princess who protects the country with a lofty beauty. stand up.

No matter who loses, it doesn't matter to them.Even in the hearts of many noble ladies, they hoped that Jiang Linlang would pull Gu Mingzhu off the altar and step on her feet.In this way, they don't have to be under the halo of Gu Mingzhu forever, be cautious and flattery.

Gu Mingzhu gritted her silver teeth secretly, and could hardly keep a decent smile on her face.But when he thought about his plan, he flickered darkly and forbeared it.

She raised her hand and gracefully raised her neck, but with a flick of her fingers, a few drops of tea spilled on her gorgeous clothes.

She made a soft "ah" sound in frustration, her black eyebrows were lightly drawn together, and then a maid took the teacup from her hand and wiped it for her with a veil.

"I'm really sorry to be so careless. Everyone, please wait here. Mingzhu is going to change into clean clothes. I'm sorry." Gu Mingzhu put away her annoyance and got up, with a bright and generous smile. , The demeanor of a noble lady from a famous family is hard to fault.

Everyone didn't know why, so they agreed again and again, saying nothing.

Gu Mingzhu's eyes flickered, and she glanced lightly at Jiang Linlang's direction, and found that the latter did not react suspiciously to her move to change clothes.Feeling at ease, she supported the back of her maidservant's hand and left gracefully.

She left, and it was obvious that the atmosphere in the pavilion had lost its initial cautiousness.

There were also people who provoked Jiang Linlang with words, but unfortunately, Jiang Linlang either pretended not to understand, or simply ignored her.Even though several young ladies stomped their feet angrily, she was playing with the coasters in a daze.

The long and thick eyelashes concealed the emotions pouring out of the eyes.

Not long after, Gu Mingzhu, still wearing the skirt with a few drops of tea on her body, rushed over with a few maids and wives, with a look of anxiety and anger on her face.

Everyone stood up in confusion, and a woman asked, "What's the matter, Miss Gu? Why are you in such a panic?"

Gu Mingzhu immediately followed this person, and said loudly and eagerly, "The hundred birds and phoenix hairpins bestowed by the empress are gone!"

wow——

The thing that the queen empress rewarded is missing?
This……

Everyone didn't dare to say anything for a while, they didn't understand why Gu Mingzhu came back in such a hurry.

Of course, there are also smart ones, who immediately understood Gu Mingzhu's intentions, glanced at Jiang Linlang who was at the side, and understood.

It is said that it is a flower viewing banquet, but it seems that Gu Mingzhu is hosting a Hongmen banquet.

Keep silent sensibly, and don't get involved if they shouldn't get involved.

There were also those who had a good relationship with Gu Mingzhu and were smart, and immediately asked cooperatively, "Then what should I do? Sister Gu, where did you miss that hairpin? Has anyone seen it?"

Gu Mingzhu glanced at that person, gave him a slight approving look, then frowned, and looked in Jiang Linlang's direction hesitantly.

"The hairpin... has been, has been properly placed in my boudoir for safekeeping. The servants dare not enter without permission. I saw it on the dressing table before going out. No one has entered during the period, except..."

Her words and eyes immediately attracted suspicion to Jiang Linlang.

"Except, Mrs. Prime Minister."

Someone told Gu Mingzhu what she had left to say.

So, everyone looked at Jiang Linlang, who was still sitting there, in surprise and gloating.

At this moment, most of them realized the real intention of today's flower viewing banquet.

Jiang Linlang moved her fingers away from the exquisite teacup and returned to the gorgeous dress she was wearing. Suddenly, the corners of her lips raised, her eyebrows and eyes turned up, and she smiled ironically and said——

"Miss Gu, what do you mean, I stole the golden hairpin that the empress gave you?"

Her voice was clear and she had a smile in her eyes, but she gave people a kind of pressure for no reason.

Gu Mingzhu curled her red lips treacherously, looked at Jiang Linlang provocatively, and then put on a sad face, her eyes flickered, and said with disappointment, "Jiang Linlang, I think you are new here and grew up in the mountains I just lent you this fine skirt. Unexpectedly, when you saw the golden hairpin that my aunt gave me, you felt malicious and did such a sneaky thing! You are so, so disappointing! "
