Rebirth: Return to Houfu

Chapter 13

Gu Fangling had no intention of speaking, no matter how anxious Gu Fangyao was, she could only insist on kneeling.He hated Gu Fangling deeply in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, for fear of causing Wei Qingmo to blame him again.

"Huh? Cousin is here?" When Sun Wenfei, who was a few steps behind everyone because of going to the toilet, walked over slowly, the first thing she saw was Wei Qingmo who was surrounded in the middle.

Finally hearing Sun Wenfei's voice to save the scene, Wei Qian couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly gave Sun Wenfei winks.Sun Wenfei is Wei Qingmo's cousin, she speaks with more weight than her, and she is more able to stand up in front of Wei Qingmo.

Sun Wenfei was naturally not stupid, she felt something was wrong here from a distance.Seeing Wei Qingmo standing next to Gu Fangling, and Gu Fangyao kneeling on the ground, Sun Wenfei was not only puzzled, but even more dissatisfied: "Cousin, what did Miss Gu do wrong? Today is Xiaoqian The birthday, the big things are put aside for the time being, how about it later?"

Ignoring Sun Wenfei's attempt to smooth things over, Wei Qingmo summoned his close followers in public: "First take Miss Gu back to Hou's residence to change her clothes."

If possible, Wei Qingmo would not mind personally sending Gu Fangling back to the Hou Mansion.However, in this way, regardless of Gu Fangling's own wishes, it will be even more detrimental to Gu Fangling's reputation.After all, Gu Fangling just got divorced, so she needs to avoid suspicion in the short term.

What Wei Qingmo wanted was to stand up for Gu Fangling at all costs, not to add to the chaos.Gu Fangling's reputation has been spread beyond recognition, and she can't stand bigger rumors to slander and smear her.

Therefore, Wei Qingmo gave up the idea of ​​coming forward in person, and instead sent his confidants to Guhou's mansion instead.It not only shows his position, but also does not lose sense of propriety and etiquette, the best of both worlds.

So far, Wei Qingmo's attitude was clearly expressed.Regardless of whether it is the members of King Mu's Mansion present or everyone in Guhou Mansion, whoever dares to challenge His Highness the Crown Prince can continue to bully Gu Fangling wantonly.On the contrary, you have to carefully weigh your own identity.

"Cousin!" Sun Wenfei, who was ignored, changed her expression slightly, and then put on a smiling face as if nothing had happened, "What is it that takes so much trouble? It's not a big deal, just ask Second Miss Gu to change a set of clothes at Xiaoqian's place." Is that enough?"

"Cousin is sure that the clothes of the little princess of the Muwang Mansion can be worn by Miss Gu?" Looking at Sun Wenfei with a half-smile, Wei Qingmo's tone was not high-pitched, but the meaning in his words could not be ignored.

Sun Wenfei choked, and looked at Wei Qingmo's expression uncertainly.Because she is two years older than Wei Qingmo and is the only legitimate daughter of the Sun family, Wei Qingmo has always respected her very much.If it wasn't for Wei Qingmo's status as the prince, she could even call him by his first name.But at this moment, Wei Qingmo didn't even give her any favor?

Also, did Wei Qingmo's words imply that Gu Fangling was not qualified to wear Xiaoqian's clothes, or was it a satire that Xiaoqian had no intention of lending clothes to Gu Fangling?It is understandable if it is the former, but if it is the latter...

For a while, Sun Wenfei didn't dare to speak easily.

Wei Qingmo expected Sun Wenfei's reaction.Therefore, without the slightest bit of surprise, Wei Qingmo turned to face Gu Fangling, and solemnly promised: "It is indeed the fault of Prince Mu's Palace that Second Miss Gu was disturbed by today's incident. Don't worry, Second Miss Gu, even if the Palace of Mu doesn't If you are willing to give Miss Gu an explanation, the royal family will not just sit idly by."

"His Royal Highness is too serious to be a courtier." Even though she repeatedly warned herself not to trust Wei Qingmo, Gu Fangling was still unavoidably confused by Wei Qingmo's attitude.

His Royal Highness the crown prince, there is really no need to condescend to accompany her to do superficial kung fu.What's more, in the situation just now, Wei Qingmo publicly criticized not only Gu Fangyao, but also Qin Yunran, Wei Qinghao, Wei Qian, and Sun Wenfei.

One of these dignitaries randomly pulled out was once related to Wei Qingmo, and Gu Fangling, regardless of his previous life or this life, could not compare with him anyway.

It was obviously an unimaginable scene, but it was suddenly placed in front of Gu Fangling's eyes, and she couldn't help but not believe it.More importantly, Gu Fangling knew better than anyone else that this was an opportunity, a great opportunity to help her turn the situation around.If she doesn't catch it, she will be really sorry for herself.

Without too much hesitation, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gu Fangling, who was full of doubts, got into Wei Qingmo's carriage, and was escorted back to the Hou's mansion by Wei Qingmo's personal escort.

And Gu Fangyao, who was still kneeling straight on the ground, was forgotten in the crowd just like that, staring at Gu Fangling in a daze, being watched off by everyone.

Five years later, Gu Fangyao was once again robbed of the limelight by Gu Fangling, and she was firmly trampled under her feet.

The birthday banquet of King Mu's Mansion is still going on.Except for the slightly condensed atmosphere and the lack of hilarity before, everything was back on track in an orderly manner.

Seeing that his presence brought a great sense of oppression to everyone, Wei Qingmo did not stay for dinner, and left after sitting for a while.

Everyone immediately stood up and saw them off, especially Wei Qian, who couldn't hide her emotions, couldn't wait to cheer twice and set off a string of firecrackers to celebrate.

As Wei Qingmo's figure disappeared outside the Prince Mu's mansion, Wei Qian let out a long sigh of relief.He patted his chest with lingering fear, and complained to Sun Wenfei in a low voice: "What happened to the prince brother today? Why did you suddenly help that Gu Fangling? It's really annoying."

"There must be something wrong!" Sun Wenfei couldn't tell the reason, and thought carefully about the possible intersection between Wei Qingmo and Gu Fangling, but she couldn't figure it out at all.In the end, it could only be attributed to Wei Qingmo's misunderstanding.

"I think Fang Ling said something to His Highness the Crown Prince! Otherwise, His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn't..." Gu Fangyao sat aside with a pale face, her eyes full of guilt, "It's all because Fang Yao couldn't keep Fang Ling in check. Everyone...Fang Yao is here to apologize to everyone."

Gu Fangyao hesitated to speak twice, and everyone knew what he wanted to express.However, the person who stood up for Gu Fangling was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and none of them could say anything wrong.

Therefore, even if they heard Gu Fangyao's implication, no one dared to agree and kept silent.Even though everyone didn't understand why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treated Gu Fangling so courteously, there was no doubt that after this night, Gu Fangling was destined to stand up.

When Gu Fangling returned to Guhou's Mansion, it was not too late.Going straight back to her small courtyard, Gu Fangling did not rush to change the clothes on her body, but sat quietly waiting for the reactions from all parties in Guhou Mansion.

Chen Ziyun was the first to learn about Gu Fangling's return to the mansion.However, Su Shi was the first to receive the news of what happened in the Mu Palace.

"Go and invite the second girl to come over for dinner." With a gleam in her eyes, Su Shi ordered to Su Momo for the first time.

"Yes." Madam Su didn't expect Gu Fangling to turn over so quickly.Although a little surprised, but...it is always a good thing to be happy about.

Hearing that Mrs. Su invited her, Gu Fangling nodded silently, got up and went out.The difference from the previous time was that Madam Su did not walk in front of Gu Fangling this time, but silently followed behind Gu Fangling.

"Nurse Su?" Even though she had long expected that after returning to the mansion this time, her status would undergo a drastic change.But before she was fully sure about Wei Qingmo's attitude, Gu Fangling didn't dare to take it lightly.

"The reason why the old slave led the way for the second girl last time was because the second girl hadn't returned to the mansion for five years, and she might be unfamiliar with the whole house. But the second girl is different now." What is the difference? As Su's confidant, it's inconvenient for Nanny Su to say more, and the rest is up to Gu Fangling's own understanding.

"Fangling, thank you Su Nanny for your warning." Building a good relationship with Su Nanny is the first step Gu Fangling has taken.Now we have seen some results, but we must not slack off, we still need to make persistent efforts.

Madam Su showed a genuine smile on her face, and nodded approvingly at Gu Fangling.However, when her eyes fell on Gu Fangling, Su Momo's expression became strange: "The clothes on the second girl are..."

"Sure enough, nothing can escape Madam Su's eyes." With a bit of embarrassment, Gu Fangling tugged at her shirt uncomfortably, "My sister lent it to me, and she specially asked me to wear it to participate in the small county of Muwang's Mansion." The Lord's birthday feast."

Madam Su's complexion changed again and again, but in the end she said nothing in front of Gu Fangling.

Gu Fangling, on the other hand, acted as if she hadn't noticed anything, and walked ahead indifferently.Madam Su's words are more useful only in front of Mrs. Su.Yes, she is in no hurry.
