Rebirth: Return to Houfu

Chapter 14

When Gu Fangling arrived in Su's courtyard, Gu Changlin was already waiting inside.

In this regard, Gu Fangling was not surprised at all, and came forward to salute Su Shi with a slight smile.It was like this in the previous life, as long as Gu Changlin was in the mansion, he would definitely have dinner with Su Shi.Now, there is no change.

"Fang Ling, come here and sit here. It's a rare opportunity to have a meal with your brother and grandmother. I have been looking forward to it for a long time." Even the address has changed, and Su's friendly attitude is self-evident. It is the same as the last meeting It's a world of difference.

Hearing Su's use of Gu Changlin as an excuse, Gu Fangling sneered in her heart, but she nodded seriously on her face, obediently and heartwarming.

Seeing Gu Fangling like this, Su Shi suddenly felt that it was not without reason that His Royal Highness would stand up for Gu Fangling.Involuntarily, she secretly thought more about Gu Fangling.

"Old lady, the second girl's clothes are dirty, and she was invited here before she had time to change." As Gu Fangling expected, Mammy Su helped her please as soon as she entered the room.

"Oh? What's going on here?" Although he asked knowingly, Su's superficial skills were very good.

"If you go back to grandma, it's just a small accident." Gu Fangling didn't believe that the Su family would not know the ins and outs, anyway, it was just a show, and a simple sentence or two was enough.She wasn't so stupid that she couldn't tell the situation clearly, so she really told Su Shi carefully.

"Since it was an accident, Fang Ling should be careful next time." As expected, Su did not continue to ask.What's more, he didn't even scold Gu Fangling for losing face.

Because I don't care, I don't ask questions.Because I don't care, I will be perfunctory.It's not the first time Gu Fangling has seen Su's duplicity, and she won't feel disappointed.

After nodding, Gu Fangling decided to take a seat.

"Old lady, the clothes on the second girl are borrowed from the eldest girl." Su Momo's voice was not loud, but it was not low, and she emphasized her tone to report to Su's.

Gu Fangling didn't take the initiative to mention this matter, but Mother Su was actually very optimistic.She knew that Gu Fangling was innocent, so she couldn't help but worry about Gu Fangling.But besides feeling a lot at this moment, Madam Su is very thankful that Gu Fangling is not scheming.

Mother Su understands Su's heart.Knowing that Ruoruo Gu Fangling took the initiative to file a complaint with resentment, in the eyes of Su, she would only get the impression of being "petty", which is not beautiful.However, it's different when she speaks out.

Just now, Madam Su broke into a cold sweat for Gu Fangling, fearing that Gu Fangling would complain and feel wronged.Fortunately, no matter whether it was intentional or unintentional, Gu Fangling did not disappoint her.

"Is there such a thing?" Su's face immediately darkened.She really didn't know that Gu Fangling was wearing Gu Fangyao's clothes when she went to the Mu Wang Mansion to attend the birthday banquet.It's fine if people don't see it, it's just as if nothing happened without anyone noticing.Once people see it, wouldn't the reputation of Guhou Mansion be completely ruined?
It's certainly not right for a prostitute to disrespect her stepmother.But at most, it was a few words of contradictory words, which only damaged Gu Fangling's reputation.What's more, if you really want to investigate carefully, it's not unreasonable for Chen Ziyun not to be accepted by the young Gu Fangling just because of his former concubine status.

Everything is nothing more than Chen Ziyun and even the entire Guhou Mansion, forcibly placing charges on Gu Fangling's head.Which is right and which is wrong, who can't see it?It's just that no one is willing to stand up for Gu Fangling.Master Gu did not, nor did Su himself.

However, Chen Ziyun is different.As the mistress of the Hou Mansion, the stepmother of the young master Gu Changlin and the former eldest daughter Gu Fangling, Chen Ziyun not only failed to lead by example, but was harsh on the original daughter who was left behind by her original wife... Just thinking about it, the Su family is about to overwhelm Gu Hou. The spittle star of the government can't restrain his anger.

"Su Nanny, you go in person and invite Madam Hou to me right away! I want to ask in person how she manages the back house for Master Hou? She really thinks that Gu Hou's mansion is her world, and no one can do it." Can she be cured?" Before today, the Su family would not have slapped Chen Ziyun in the face.But the current Gu Fangling, even the Su family, has to weigh whether he can offend her.

Nanny Su backed away.This is the third time in the past five years that she has invited someone in person.The first time was the day when the second girl returned to the mansion, the old lady sent her there to show her prestige.The second time was just now, when she learned that the second girl was escorted back to the Hou Mansion by His Royal Highness, the old lady immediately changed her attitude after being shocked.And the third time is now.

In just a few days, Mother Su's state of mind also underwent a huge change.He didn't regard Chen Ziyun as an enemy before, but at this moment, he felt quite angry with the same enemy.Perhaps she didn't even realize that her heart had helped her make the most authentic decision.

Chen Ziyun couldn't help being surprised to receive the message from the old lady without warning, and it was Madam Su who came over in person.Without thinking too much, I set off.

Although in the past five years, Chen Ziyun has lived a very comfortable and beautiful life.But she knew very well in her heart that the reason why she was able to go so smoothly was all due to the old lady's carelessness.But if the old lady treats Gu Fangling as if she cares about Gu Changlin, she can't even think about her happy life in the past five years.

Chen Ziyun has always treated the old lady with respect and distance.She knew in her heart that as long as she didn't provoke the old lady out of selfishness, the back house of Marquis Gu's mansion would be safe and sound.

Adhering to the principle that well water does not interfere with river water, no matter how arrogant Chen Ziyun was, he never dared to stretch his hands into the old lady's yard.This is also one of the reasons why Gu Changlin was able to stand on the throne of the Little Marquis in Guhou's Mansion.With the protection of the old lady, Chen Ziyun had no choice but to watch.

It was completely different from Gu Fangling's experience. Chen Ziyun tried to get some words out of Madam Su's mouth more than once along the way, but it was always unsuccessful.In order to avoid being too deliberate and causing Nanny Su to complain in front of the old lady, Chen Ziyun kept her mouth shut after being prevaricated by Tai Chi again.

As soon as he entered the old lady's room, Chen Ziyun sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere.Especially when seeing Gu Fangling sitting on the right hand side of the old lady, this bad premonition became stronger.

Immediately putting on a courteous smile, Chen Ziyun walked forward as if nothing had happened, and said in a low voice: "My daughter-in-law pays my respects to the old lady."

"Greetings? I don't know when the rules of our Guhou Mansion changed to greetings at night." He patted the table heavily, Su's face was sombre and his anger couldn't be dispelled, "Does your rules need me too?" Discipline and discipline yourself?"

Don't know the rules?This charge is a bit serious.Chen Ziyun was full of astonishment, but he didn't bother to defend himself, so he had to admit his mistake: "It's my daughter-in-law's fault, and my daughter-in-law will never dare again in the future."

"Don't you dare? You know it in your heart." With a cold snort, the Su family obviously didn't like Chen Ziyun's way of being soft. But you still haven't bought new clothes yet?"

Was it because of Gu Fangling's questioning her?Su's complexion froze, and she looked at Su's face without knowing it.

It's not just a matter of a day or two that Gu Fangling doesn't pay attention, hasn't it been like this for five years?I haven't seen the old lady get angry before, why did she suddenly change her sex at this moment?
In addition, wasn't Gu Fangling taken by Fang Yao to the Mu Wang Mansion to attend the birthday banquet?Why did you come back early?Could it be that something happened in Prince Mu's Mansion?But why hasn't Fang Yao come back yet?

Chen Ziyun was a little dazzled by a series of questions.Don't dare to ask more questions, and don't dare to raise any doubts.He lowered his head, his face was full of mixed feelings, and his eyes were really complicated.

"Don't talk? Are you guilty, or do you not take me, the old lady of the Hou Mansion, seriously?" In the past, the Su family would not reprimand Chen Ziyun so mercilessly.She is already old, and sooner or later the back house of Gu Hou Mansion will be handed over to other women.If it wasn't Chen Ziyun, it would be someone else, at least Chen Ziyun knew how to advance and retreat, and was very self-aware and never dared to challenge her authority.

Recalling Zhou Wanrou back then, a trace of displeasure flashed in Su's eyes.Zhou Wanrou was good at everything, but her status was too high, and she was spoiled too much by her natal family, so it was hard to handle.Speaking of this alone, Gu Fangling is more sensible and obedient than Zhou Wanrou.

Gu Fangling should be thankful that she was not brought up by Zhou Wanrou.Otherwise, the Guhou Mansion will inevitably produce a second Zhou Wanrou.And this is exactly what Su Shi least wants to see, and it is also a key reason why Su Shi will let Chen Ziyun send Gu Fangling away.

Compared to Gu Fangling who was the eldest daughter of the Gu Hou Mansion five years ago, Su Shi is naturally more satisfied with the current Gu Fangling.From her point of view, the five years of experience in Licheng was not without any results. At any rate... It polished off Gu Fangling's stubbornness and arrogance.
