Rebirth: Return to Houfu

Chapter 18

Even though Gu Fangling said not to worry, Gu Changlin still couldn't really feel at ease.Involving the prince means getting involved with the royal family.If any trouble really happened, even if he risked his life, Gu Changlin couldn't protect Gu Fangling,

Thinking of this, Gu Changlin pursed his lips, stared at Gu Fangling with a cold face and did not reply.

I knew there was no way to convince my brother easily... Gu Fangling sighed deeply, but there was an unchanged smile on his face: "No matter how bad it is, it's nothing more than that. At most, I will be sent to Licheng again. Anyway, I know everyone well." Once you are familiar with the road, you are not afraid that you will not be able to sleep if you go to a strange place.”

Gu Changlin's face became colder and his eyes almost burst into flames when he stared at Gu Fangling.

"Okay, okay, brother, don't look at me like this. I know I shouldn't get carried away, and I shouldn't take it lightly." Only in front of Gu Changlin, Gu Fangling dared to be the most authentic self, " It's just that things have become like this, and even if I don't want to, I can't change it. If this is the case, why don't you relax and make peace with what happens?"

Gu Changlin's frown slowly relaxed, and the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated.What Ling'er said was correct, after all, it was still under his nose, no matter how bad it was, it would not be worse than the five years when the siblings were forced to separate.

What Gu Fang said was not simply to comfort Gu Changlin, but her sincere words.

Wei Qingmo is the crown prince, she has no control over his words and deeds, nor can she guess the deep meaning behind him.The only thing she can be sure of is that so far, Wei Qingmo has no intention of hurting her.

Since Wei Qingmo intends to rectify her name, Gu Fangling will naturally seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and will definitely not let others underestimate her.

As for whether she will be beaten back to her original shape in the future, or whether she will fall even worse, Gu Fangling doesn't want to care about it for the time being.Just because she knew in her heart that even if she tried her best to prevent problems before they happened, she couldn't resist Wei Qingmo's small change of mind.

In the previous life and the present life, Gu Fangling has long been tempered enough to be calm and rational, without worrying about gains and losses.Since Wei Qingmo gave her current glory, she was the original Gu Fangyao before Wei Qingmo took it back.

Back then... Gu Fangling couldn't help but sneered in her heart.At least in the previous life before she was killed by those people, Gu Fangyao was still in front of the incomparably noble Princess Jin, wasn't she?Or maybe, she can be as lucky as Gu Fangyao this time, and even survive until the day she dies of old age?
"No matter what, be careful in everything." Before leaving, Gu Changlin reminded.Seeing Gu Fangling nodding her head obediently, she couldn't help but add another sentence, "His Royal Highness is too honorable, don't be blinded by it."

Gu Fangling let out a "puchi", and couldn't help laughing out: "Brother, Ling'er was divorced before."

Having been divorced, no matter whether it is character or reputation, it has already been stained.It is impossible for such a woman to marry into the royal family.Gu Fangling has self-knowledge, and she will definitely not be greedy and covet a position that does not belong to her.

"Ling'er is fine." Throwing down four words firmly, Gu Changlin strode away.

If you observe carefully, you can see that at this moment, Gu Changlin's body not only exudes a frightening cold air, but also carries an invisible anger that cannot be ignored.

He was blaming himself for being powerless, hating himself for not being strong enough to protect his younger sister.Five years ago, Ling'er was allowed to be slandered and sent away, but five years later, he had to watch Ling'er fall into a situation beyond his control... Gu Changlin's desire to fight for power became more and more urgent.

Yancheng has been very lively recently, one after another rumors are flying all over the sky, and the rumors are raging.

There are rumors that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Gu Hou's mansion in person, he not only praised Second Miss Gu's etiquette and rules, but also reprimanded Miss Gu and Mrs. Hou in a cold voice.

There were also rumors that Miss Gu and Mrs. Hou ran into His Royal Highness one after another, even the old lady of the Hou Mansion and Mrs. Hou were alarmed, and both were locked up as punishment.

Others said that the second Miss Gu, who was originally married to Mrs. Hou, deserved the title of the eldest daughter of the Hou family.The previous rumors were all spread by the stepmother Mrs. Hou deliberately to smear Miss Gu's reputation, in order to help Miss Gu rectify her name.

The rumors spread more and more, and gradually... all the blame was pointed at the current mistress of Guhou Mansion, Chen Ziyun.

"Have you heard? The day Second Miss Gu returned to Gu Hou's mansion after five years, she was turned away and asked to enter the mansion through the side door!"

"What? No matter how you say it, Second Miss Gu is also the prostitute of the Hou Mansion. Who would have the guts to stop Second Miss Gu from going back to her home?"

"It seems that Mrs. Hou entertained distinguished guests at the mansion that day. But I also heard that there were no distinguished guests at the Hou manor that day. It was all because of Mrs. Hou's refusal. She wanted to humiliate Miss Gu!"

"How could it be? This Mrs. Hou is deceiving too much, right? Who doesn't know that the second Miss Gu was born as the eldest daughter of Gu Hou's mansion, even if there is an extra Miss Gu, it is basically wrong the same."

"Isn't it? I guess it's because I feel unjust, so I want to vent my anger on Miss Gu! You don't even know that after Miss Gu returned home, Mrs. Hou didn't even buy new clothes for her. So that Miss Gu went to Prince Mu's Mansion attended the birthday banquet of the little princess, and he had to borrow clothes from Miss Gu. It's really unreasonable to bully people to death."

"What's the matter? Didn't Second Miss Gu get divorced by the prime minister's mansion a few days ago? I have relatives who live in Mu Wang's mansion. It is said that it was Mrs. Hou who first went to the prime minister's wife to say something!"

"This Mrs. Hou doesn't take Guhou's mansion too seriously, does she? I really thought she could cover the sky with one hand, but she actually bullied the prostitute daughter left behind by her original wife, Mrs. Hou. If General Wanwei was still alive, he would have brought him a long time ago. Let people go to Guhou's mansion to ask the teacher Xingshi!"

"What you said is wrong. If General Wanwei was still alive, would they dare to bully Miss Gu like this? I'm afraid they are eager to hold a confession, lest they bump into each other somewhere? Sigh, this person is just used to It is often the wind that makes the rudder, the world is going down..."

Even Zhou Wanwei, who passed away five years ago, was involved, which shows how big this incident was.It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no one behind it.

It's just...the mastermind behind the scenes is not afraid of being traced, even if Chen Ziyun has the best ability to find out, he would not dare to do anything to him.

As for a certain pair of brothers and sisters who took the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, Wei Qingmo laughed it off. It was the first time that he was treated as a scapegoat without any anger.The right is to escort them.

It is said that the monkeys scatter when the trees fall, and vice versa.Prince Wei Qingmo's attitude was right in front of his eyes, how could the others sit still?Ever since, Gu Fangling received apologies from the General's Mansion and King Mu's Mansion one after another.

The apology sent by the Sun family was very simple, there were only two sets of clothes, but they were well-thought-out brocade clothes.The servant sent by the General's Mansion to Guhou's Mansion said that this was prepared by the General's wife herself, to apologize for their young lady's reckless soiling of Miss Gu's clothes in Guhou's Mansion.

In comparison, the compensation from Prince Mu's Mansion is much more expensive.In addition to a small box full of gold ornaments, silver hairpins and beaded jade hairpins, Princess Mu also specially prepared a lot of silk and satin and precious ginseng and antler, and gave them to Gu Fangling.The euphemistic name is: plead guilty to Miss Gu Er for the ignorance of the little princess.

Several days have passed since Wei Qian's birthday banquet, if the general's wife and Princess Mu really wanted to make amends, why would they wait until now to deliver the apology?I'm afraid it was made for Wei Qingmo to see!

For the first time, Gu Fangling was grateful for Wei Qingmo's visit that day.It cannot be denied that even if Wei Qingmo did it just on the spur of the moment, it would bring her far more benefits than troubles.

As the rumors became more and more intense, not only Chen Ziyun was in an embarrassing situation, but also the prime minister's mansion who had withdrawn from Gu Fangling's marriage in a high-profile way.

Of course, the prince has not yet ascended the throne, so he can't say a word.But any sentence he said is also an unchanging golden rule, and no one dares to refute it easily.

Wei Qingmo said that Gu Fangling was well mannered, so Gu Fangling was impeccable.Wei Qingmo said that Gu Fangling's rules are very good, so Gu Fangling is really abiding by the rules.

Under such circumstances, the prime minister's mansion's reason for withdrawing marriage has become a high-sounding excuse.To put it bluntly, it was breaking promises, talking nonsense, and bullying the second miss of the Gu family who was weak, weak, and kind.

If General Wanwei was still there, would the Chancellor's Office dare to bully others without fear?Definitely dare not.

I can't blame Er Miss Gu for going to the prime minister's mansion in person in a fit of anger. I'm afraid she was forced to a dead end and did so as a last resort!

Thinking about it, it is true that such a lady who understands the rules and speaks of etiquette, even His Royal Highness is full of praise for her, but she is humiliated with the most incredible perfunctory excuse, how can it not make people angry?
Thanks to the chancellor's office, he can openly accuse Miss Gu of being arrogant and ignorant of etiquette.In fact, Second Miss Fang was bullied!
