Rebirth: Return to Houfu

Chapter 17

Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can personally come to Guhou’s mansion to make amends... The Su family is completely at a loss as to how to deal with it, and keeps saying "Don't dare", but can't stop slandering Gu Fangling in the bottom of her heart. What kind of luck did you hit to get such honor.

"After finishing the business, the prince will not stay here with the old lady." Wei Qingmo walked away again without heart to accompany Su's hypocritical politeness, and this time he really planned to leave.

"Too..." Su Shi wanted to shout again, but saw Chen Ziyun rushing over in a panic.However, it was not Gu Fangyao but Gu Fangling who followed behind Chen Ziyun.

"Fang Ling? Why did you come here?" In this situation, of course, Mrs. Su didn't question why Gu Fangling appeared in her yard, but was surprised why Gu Fangling and Chen Ziyun came together.

Logically speaking, these two people should be like fire and water, incompatible with each other.It was also for this reason that the Su family did not worry at all that Gu Fangling, who was favored by the crown prince, would be drawn over by Chen Ziyun.

"The stepmother sent Fang Ling to come to grandma immediately, and Fang Ling just..." The anxiety and worry on Gu Fangling's face turned into doubts after seeing that Mrs. Su was safe and sound, and she didn't hide her puzzlement at all.

Su's face suddenly darkened.Chen Ziyun obviously failed at the first plan, so he resorted to the second plan.However, no matter how Chen Ziyun provoked Gu Fangyao, the Su family would not intervene.But if it was Gu Fangling, the Su family would not agree.

In the past, Gu Fangling, regardless of life or death, Su Shi didn't even bother to look at it.The current Gu Fangling is different, it was used by the Su family to add to the icing on the cake for Gu Changlin, and it is absolutely not allowed to be destroyed by Chen Ziyun.

"Second Miss Gu, we meet again." Being ignored by Chen Ziyun, Wei Qingmo didn't care.But Gu Fangling actually regarded him as transparent, and Wei Qingmo felt so unhappy in his heart.

All day long, he thought about how to pave the way for Gu Fangling to be prosperous and rich, but Gu Fangling treated him like nothing.With Wei Qingmo's temperament that never suffers, it is really impossible to be calm.It's impossible to blame Gu Fangling, but... since Gu Fangling can't see him, he should take the initiative to remind her.

"His Royal Highness!" Gu Fangling is not Chen Ziyun, she doesn't have so many eyes and ears to know the movement of the whole Guhou Mansion anytime and anywhere.This time I came here purely to see exactly what tricks Chen Ziyun was playing.But she never expected that it would be Wei Qingmo who appeared at Su's place.

With Wei Qingmo's powerful sense of coercion, it is impossible for Gu Fangling not to see him.In fact, the moment she entered the room, she saw the aloof His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

However, Gu Fangling never thought of getting close to Wei Qingmo.If possible, she would like to avoid Wei Qingmo.Subconsciously, she would still classify Wei Qingmo and Gu Fangyao into one country.

With a small exclamation, Gu Fangling hurriedly saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, give..."

"Second Miss Gu, don't need to be too polite. The prince is really tired of listening to this over and over again all day." Wei Qingmo waved his hand casually, highlighting Gu Fangling's uniqueness in a high-profile way, and at the same time mixed in a little other meanings.He was very curious about how Gu Fangling would respond after hearing what he said.

Gu Fangling was stunned for a moment, but her posture of saluting remained unchanged, and her timid voice was full of innocence: "Fangling's rules have never been good enough, and the etiquette is not very thorough. For this matter, Fangling did not Don't be reprimanded. If His Royal Highness doesn't blame you, Fang Ling will get up directly."

"Training?" Wei Qingmo raised his brows in surprise, he was very satisfied with Gu Fangling's acceptance, and looked at the Su family unambiguously, "Although we only met twice, the second lady of your mansion In the eyes of this prince, etiquette is extremely considerate. I don’t know who in Gu Hou’s mansion reprimanded Miss Gu for etiquette and rules? The old lady will definitely invite her out to open the eyes of this prince and see what Is it better?"

"This..." Su choked, and turned his gaze to Chen Ziyun who looked panic-stricken.Tracing back to the source, it was Chen Ziyun who first reprimanded Gu Fangling for not understanding etiquette.

Chen Ziyun was completely flustered, and his heart was full of uneasiness.Especially when Su Shi looked at her, she was even more confused.

At the beginning, she made a final decision, pinning the notoriety of "disrespecting her stepmother" on Gu Fangling, who was only eight years old.The old lady did not stand up for Gu Fangling, and Lord Hou also acquiesced in her actions.The entire Guhou Mansion is on her side.

Therefore, she had the confidence to dare to send Gu Fangling far away, and even made up her mind to take Gu Fangling's life to avoid future troubles.

If Zhou Wanwei's former deputy Wang Jing hadn't suddenly appeared in Yecheng and recognized Gu Fangling...Chen Ziyun would definitely not have allowed Gu Fangling to arrive in Licheng.

"It seems that it is Mrs. Hou." Following Su's line of sight and looking at Chen Ziyun whose complexion changed drastically, Wei Qingmo raised the corner of his mouth, "But what surprises the prince is that the noble man who has been raised by Mrs. Hou's side Whether it is etiquette or rules, the eldest lady seems to be inferior to the second lady?"

"His Royal Highness, forgive me." Wei Qingmo asked, Chen Ziyun bit the bullet and wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to answer.There was no moment in her heart that was clearer than this moment. Wei Qingmo clearly blamed her for Gu Fangling, no matter what she said...it was all wrong.

Wei Qingmo didn't answer, but turned his head, and casually said to Su Shi: "The inner house of Marquis Gu's mansion really needs to be rectified."

Mrs. Su hurriedly claimed it was, and secretly glared at Chen Ziyun several times.After today, the reputation of Guhou Mansion in the eyes of His Highness the Crown Prince may be gone.

Chen Ziyun couldn't explain it, it was like eating Coptis chinensis, but he couldn't tell, so he had to swallow it silently.

If he didn't hear the different expressions of everyone in the room, Wei Qingmo waved his sleeves, bid farewell and left.

Su Shi and Chen Ziyun saw each other off immediately, while Gu Fangling turned slightly sideways, took two steps back to the side, and made way for the road.

When Wei Qingmo walked past Gu Fangling, his footsteps paused for a moment. Although he didn't say anything, he nodded at Gu Fangling lightly.

Gu Fangling was taken aback, quickly lowered her head, and saluted.When she raised her head again, Wei Qingmo's figure had drifted away, leaving only a chill in the room.

Although she was puzzled by Wei Qingmo's arrival, Gu Fangling still appreciated Wei Qingmo's outspoken statement from the bottom of her heart.Regardless of whether she was really lucky enough to cling to Wei Qingmo, as rumored by the outside world, as long as she fell into the meaning of this in the eyes of others, it would be beneficial to her without any harm.

The crown prince came down and left again. In less than half an hour, he didn't seem to leave any traces, but it turned Guhou's mansion completely upside down.

First, Chen Ziyun, who has always been highly respected, was publicly scolded by the Su family for being harsh on her stepdaughter, and she was severely scolded by Lord Hou.For the next three months, she didn't get the slightest bit of kindness from Lord Hou, and she could only watch him sleep in the concubine's room every day, really angry with internal injuries.

Then, Gu Fangyao, who was disrespectful in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, was fined and confinement without excuse, and ordered not to go out for one month.When the gossip spread to Guhou's mansion, the good reputation she had worked so hard to build for five years was greatly damaged, and she regretted it.

On the other hand, Gu Fangling, who had risen with the tide, was immediately moved by the teachers to change his residence, and his status in Guhou's mansion soared to the highest in an instant.Even compared to five years ago, it is even worse.

Gu Fangling's new courtyard is close to Gu Changlin's residence, which was specially selected by the Su family for Gu Fangling, in order to facilitate the closeness and communication between the two siblings.

The day when Gu Fangling officially moved to the academy was the academy's rest day, and Gu Changlin did not leave the residence.Under Su's instruction, he came to Gu Fangling's new residence early.

"Brother." Seeing Gu Changlin, Gu Fangling smiled brightly, and waved away the maids and women in the room, leaving only Lan Yan by his side to serve.

There are many servants in Gu Fangling's new courtyard, all of whom have just been selected from outside the mansion.There was no need for Gu Fangling to mention it at all, Su Shi took the initiative to ignore the original servants of Gu Hou's mansion, and ruled out Chen Ziyun's eyeliner as much as possible.

"Is the new residence okay?" Gu Changlin didn't expect that Gu Fangling's status in Gu Hou's mansion would change in just a short period of time.Is the prince defending Qingmo?Gu Changlin didn't have much contact with him, and he couldn't even talk about friendship, and it was beyond his reach to find out what happened.

"It's not bad. Grandma sent a lot of good things!" Pointing to the gift boxes piled aside, Gu Fangling replied briskly, "The stepmother also appointed a housekeeper to buy all the things for me as soon as possible. , although it hasn’t been sent yet, but it is estimated to be soon.”

Gu Changlin nodded.After a moment of silence, he still asked: "Mu Wangfu..."

Gu Changlin couldn't mention His Highness the Crown Prince, so he could only express his doubts by asking about the name of Prince Mu's Mansion.Regarding this, Gu Fangling knew it well, and solemnly assured Gu Changlin: "Don't worry, brother, Fangling knows how to measure."
