My husband is a traitor

Chapter 211 scheming, staunch

"Miss!" Seeing this, Gu Mingzhu's maid followed anxiously.

Qi Rui sighed heavily, looking away in disappointment.

He glanced at Ouyang Lie, who was watching the bustle, his eyebrows frowned slightly, he picked up the dagger on the ground with his hands down, and handed it back to him.

"The prince should take good care of his dagger. It doesn't sound good to ask a powerless little girl to snatch the weapon." He seemed to be pointing.

Ouyang Lie touched his nose feigning embarrassment, and said with a smile, "What King Xiao said is true, but the most interesting thing today is not the contest on the Que River, but the contest between the daughters of the northern kingdom!"

These words are to insinuate that the little trick of the daughters of the northern kingdom's aristocratic family to be jealous will not be put on the table.

Rong Jue snorted lightly, and what he said was not as scruples about diplomatic relations as Qi Rui's insinuations.

"Let the prince lose face one after another, the daughter of the aristocratic family is indeed amazing."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care how Qi Rui would end up here, and left.

Ouyang Lie's face sank, he gritted his back teeth, and dared not speak out.This damned Rong Jue, don't let him fall into your hands!

"Brother Wang, it's true. He was knocked down by a woman first, and now he can't control his weapon. If it spreads out, it will embarrass me in Nanguo!" Before he could say anything, Ouyang Wu turned his elbows outward again, disdainful He snorted softly, held his horsewhip, and said.

"Ouyang Wu!" Ouyang Lie glared at this brainless younger sister with knives in his eyes, "Pay attention to your identity!"

Ouyang Wu stuck out her tongue, not paying attention.

Besides, in the carriage, Xiaofu quickly changed into clean clothes for Gu Minglan, and Jiang Linlang took a dry handkerchief and twisted her hair for her.

Holding Mrs. Tang in her hand, Gu Minglan's complexion improved a bit, but her body was still trembling violently, her lips were also trembling, slightly pale and purple.

"This young miss is really too much!" Xiao Fu, with a red nose and crying voice, looked at the silent Gu Minglan, and couldn't help wiping her eyes, "What if the young lady is cold and sick?" That's right...and that King Yu looked at Miss's body..."

"Little Fu! Shut up!" Jiang Linlang suddenly stopped her movements, gave her a serious look, and stopped her from talking.

However, Gu Minglan suddenly said in a low voice, "It's okay... After today, Lin'an will definitely tell me like this..."

There was a bit of despair in her eyes, but there was no despair.Jiang Linlang only felt lonely and melancholy that Gu Minglan couldn't describe.

But a thought flashed across her mind.

Because Gu Minglan fell into the water, Jiang Linlang had no choice but to take a carriage first and send her to the Duke Huguo's mansion.

On the way, Jiang Linlang handed Gu Minglan a cup of hot tea, and said to Xiaofu, "You go outside first, I have a few words that I want to talk to your lady alone."

Xiaofu looked puzzled, and looked at Gu Minglan, who was holding the cup, but nodded lightly, without making a sound.

So Xiaofu lifted the curtain of the car and sat with Mo Han in front.

"Minglan, tell me honestly... Did you fall into the water on purpose?" Jiang Linlang looked at Gu Minglan's quiet and silent expression, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.

Gu Minglan's hand holding the cup tightened, her joints were distinct, so white that she had no blood.

She turned her head to look at Jiang Linlang, her autumn-like eyes were full of loneliness, "Why do you think so?"

Do not answer questions.

Jiang Linlang frowned, "When I rushed over, I clearly saw Xiao Fu dragging Ouyang Lie, otherwise he must be the one who went into the water to save you... Also, your reaction was too calm, the feeling you gave me, It's more about resigning oneself to one's fate, without the panic and fear that one should have."

Just ask, if you didn't fall into the water on purpose, how could you do this?
Hearing Jiang Linlang's words, for some reason, Gu Minglan suddenly raised his lips and smiled, the laughter was very desolate.

Smiling and smiling, there is a sparkle in the eyes.

"Yeah, I did it on purpose."

Much calmer than Jiang Linlang imagined, Gu Minglan actually admitted it herself!
Under Jiang Linlang's eyes gasping for disbelief, Gu Minglan tightly clenched the cup in her hand, as if she wanted to absorb that little bit of temperature before she could warm herself.

Her loose hair was still slightly wet, sticking to her ears, very decadent and messy.But she spoke quietly, as if talking about an unimportant matter, "You should also know that since I asked Xiaofu to stop Prince Nan in advance, I knew Gu Mingzhu's idea—she wanted me to As a shield, marry that southern barbarian. No, how can I let her succeed?"

This was Jiang Linlang's first time seeing Gu Minglan like this. She was scheming, indifferent and strange, but she seemed more natural than the second young lady from the Duke's Mansion who was gentle and quiet and did not fight or grab.

She called Gu Mingzhu by her full name with a cold tone, and she called Ouyang Lie Barbarian with disgust and resistance.

She quietly looked down at her fingertips, and continued, "Gu Mingzhu probably just wanted to push me into Ouyang Lie's arms. But she didn't expect that I had already calculated the time, and there was still the broken corner of the river." .”

"I hid a dagger in my sleeve. When I fell into the river, I stepped on it hard with my foot, and the dagger in my hand cracked more... Then I sank into the river and threw the dagger in..." Gu Minglan picked up the dagger. cup, and drank up the lukewarm water.Then he covered his face with his hands slightly, his voice choked with sobs, "I know that I am very scheming. But I have to do this, because I will not ask Gu Mingzhu and her daughter to control my life's major events again."

"You—" Jiang Linlang didn't know what to do to Gu Minglan, saying that she was scheming, but she was forced to do nothing, and she didn't do anything harmful, but she was cruel to herself.

But looking at Gu Minglan's weak and dignified appearance, who would have known that when she became ruthless, it was because of her tough temper that she would rather die with death?
"You're stupid, if you come here like this, your reputation will be ruined, so you can only marry Qi Lei! If he is a bit of a scumbag, you can only be..." Jiang Linlang's eyes were red, and she was very angry. It is also the pain that Gu Minglan has suffered for many years.

In the final analysis, if Gu Mingzhu hadn't harbored such a heartless and unrighteous mind first, Gu Minglan would not have designed her.

But the reputation of her daughter's family, especially for an unpopular concubine like Gu Minglan, she has a staunch temper, so... Will Mrs. Gu spare her lightly?

"I can only marry him... Isn't it good?" Gu Minglan put down her hands, and suddenly looked at Jiang Linlang, with an incomprehensible light in her eyes, a blush flashed across her pale face, and the affection in her eyes It's so wonderful that people can't figure out what she's thinking.

It's just that she won't be a concubine.

Gu Minglan didn't understand Jiang Linlang's unfinished words.

But at this point, she has already made all plans, either succeed or——

Nothing.
