Rebirth: Return to Houfu

Chapter 34

The deeply drooping face was full of resentment, and the gloomy eyes flashed with tears...all showed the great humiliation and embarrassment that Gu Fangyao had suffered at this moment.

It was supposed to be the desperate situation that Gu Fangling was facing, but somehow it turned to her. Gu Fangyao was extremely unwilling, but there was nothing he could do.

The one who protected Gu Fangling was the high and mighty Crown Prince, and the one who stood up for Gu Fangling was the future monarch.Even if Gu Fangyao was good at calculating, she didn't have the guts to make an enemy of Wei Qingmo.

Endure, must endure!Even if you can't bear it, you have to smash your teeth and swallow it in your stomach.Gu Fangyao, who kept telling herself to be calm, finally stabilized her emotions after repeated psychological struggles.

Looking at Gu Fangling's jade gourd in surprise, Wei Qian was puzzled and turned to Sun Wenfei.

Sun Wenfei's face changed slightly, and she twitched the corner of her mouth in an unclear manner: "It's a token from the eldest daughter of the Guhou Mansion."

This was not a secret, even if Sun Wenfei wanted to cover it up, she couldn't hide from the eyes of so many caring people present.I am afraid that many people have already thought of the meaning of the jade gourd!Otherwise, their expressions would not have become so subtle and complicated, and their eyes would not have been stained with disbelief.

Sun Wenfei didn't want to believe this was true either.But she had been with Gu Fangling when she was young, so she knew better than anyone else what the jade gourd on Gu Fangyao's waist was.However, what made Sun Wenfei puzzled was how the jade gourd returned to Gu Fangling's hands.

At Wei Qian's birthday banquet before, she had clearly seen that the jade gourd was worn on Gu Fangyao's body, while Gu Fangling's waist was empty.

And during the last horse race, Sun Wenfei also confirmed the authenticity of the jade gourd for the second time.The answer she got was exactly what she wanted to see.That's why she unscrupulously helped Wei Qian suppress Gu Fangling, and did not put Gu Hou's mansion in the scope of fear.

Sun Wenfei even took the opportunity to test Gu Fangyao's tone.Gu Fangyao's tone at that time did not seem to be fake. At that time, Gu Fangling was just as she expected, a useless chess piece discarded by the Guhou Mansion, and had no chance of winning.

If it weren't for Wei Qingmo... Sun Wenfei fell silent after thinking about it.Without "Ruofei", Wei Qingmo had already stood by Gu Fangling's side, blocking all of them's mouths with an extremely powerful aura.

"Oh." Wei Qian nodded knowingly.But the next moment, after she realized it, she suddenly exclaimed, "What? The token of the eldest daughter? Gu Fangling, she... um..."

Wei Qian's mouth was blocked.It wasn't Sun Wenfei who moved her hand, but Wei Qinghao who stood beside her at some point.

"Second Miss Gu, I'm sorry. Xiaoqian made a slip of the tongue, and I hope you can forgive me." Looking at Gu Fangling with an apologetic expression, Wei Qinghao's lowered posture shocked everyone, only Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao were stunned and panicked .

"Third prince speaks seriously. The little princess is unrestrained, speaks freely, and has no malicious intentions. Fang Ling knows it, so naturally he dare not blame the little princess." Gu Fangling replied generously.

Wei Qinghao's original intention was to use his status to suppress others. With his status as a prince, Gu Fangling didn't dare to cause more trouble.But she never expected that instead of being frightened by him, Gu Fangling blocked her with words neither humble nor overbearing.

Especially Gu Fangling's last sentence "Don't dare to blame", the irony implied in it made Wei Qinghao look sideways.Involuntarily, he looked at Gu Fangling with a hint of interest and deep meaning in his menacing eyes.Interesting, this woman who is so capable that Wei Qingmo is willing to support her is really interesting.

The interest in Wei Qinghao's eyes was not concealed, Gu Fangling frowned slightly, and lowered her face slightly, intending to avoid Wei Qinghao's wanton scrutiny.

Noticing Gu Fangling's reaction, Wei Qingmo turned his head and glanced at Wei Qinghao with a hint of warning.

In the previous life, Wei Qinghao was Gu Fangyao's favourite.Wei Qingmo did not stop, and repeatedly helped to match up and promote it.Later, when Wei Qinghao married Gu Fangyao, he didn't feel any reluctance, and happily entered the bridal chamber.

Wei Qingmo originally thought that Wei Qinghao also had some affection for Gu Fangyao.However, until Gu Fangyao was exposed by Gu Changlin in the end, Wei Qinghao remained indifferent, with an indifferent face... Wei Qingmo was completely sure that Wei Qinghao didn't love Gu Fangyao, not at all.

Wei Qingmo doesn't question Wei Qinghao's character.At least on the surface, as a minister, Wei Qinghao was conscientious enough to treat the common people fairly and justly.

But when it comes to the mansion of Prince Jin's mansion... Although Wei Qingmo didn't take care of it, he knows it all.Therefore, Wei Qinghao, like Qin Yunran, is not a good match in Wei Qingmo's mind.

Wei Qinghao shrugged and took two steps away.It's just that his gaze still fell on Gu Fangling vaguely.

Qin Yunran, who had been standing silently beside Wei Qinghao all this time, had a slight change in his eyes, and without warning, he took two steps forward, and his seemingly inadvertent move happened to block Wei Qinghao's body.

Qin Yunran's character is so calm, as a good friend, Wei Qinghao understands it best, has he ever seen Qin Yunran behave like this?
Turning his mind, he was keenly aware of Qin Yunran's intentions, Wei Qinghao was not angry at all, and smiled and looked away.

The interaction between Wei Qinghao and Qin Yunran was very subtle, but it couldn't be hidden from the eyes of Wei Qingmo and Gu Fangling.Gu Fangling was facing Wei Qinghao and Qin Yunran, and could easily see all their subtle movements.

However, Gu Fangling didn't care at all what the two people on the opposite side were thinking.Seeing that the eyes of the two were no longer looking at her, she ignored them.

Wei Qingmo always took care of Gu Fangling's emotions, and incidentally discovered that Wei Qinghao and Qin Yunran were unusual.Compared to Gu Fangling, Wei Qingmo knew the other two better, so he paid attention to them together quietly.

"Brother Prince, let's sit down quickly! After standing for a long time, my legs are numb." Wei Qian suggested unhappily when she couldn't get used to everyone surrounding Gu Fangling.

This time, Wei Qingmo did not go against Wei Qian's wishes, walked away as promised, and took the seat prepared earlier.

With Wei Qingmo's departure, all the people around Gu Fangling dispersed, and the attention on her was naturally turned away.

"Speaking of which, it seems that there is still a bet that needs to be decided today?" Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei didn't expect that Wei Qingmo hadn't mentioned this matter in public, but it was Wei Qinghao who made it difficult.

For a moment, Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei were both stunned, looking at Wei Qinghao in bewilderment.Shouldn't Wei Qinghao be on their side?Why the sudden defection?

Qin Yunran pursed his lips, the sight that fell on Wei Qinghao was not as calm as in the past, and there was a hint of indescribable complexity in his doubts.

In the moment of silence, the most restless person must be the pale-faced Gu Fangyao.

Although on the way here, Gu Fangyao had expected that she would make a fool of herself today, so she made up her mind to get rid of her face.But to her surprise, the third prince, Wei Qinghao, would actually help Gu Fangling.It was undeniable that she was heartbroken.

Gu Fangyao has self-knowledge, and she never dared to think inappropriately.The royal family and the third prince are not something she can cling to.For the third prince, she can secretly think and read secretly in her heart, but she can't say it out loud, let alone lose courtesy.

Gu Fangyao has been working hard to restrain her emotions, trying her best not to let the signs that shouldn't exist grow bigger.She knew how to be content, and made up her mind that she would obediently obey her mother's arrangement and marry into the prime minister's residence.However, Gu Fangling approached step by step, forcing her into a desperate situation.

No matter how reluctant Gu Fangyao was, in front of His Royal Highness and everyone, she couldn't evade it, nor could she deny it.Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei felt powerless and made it clear that they gave up helping her.Even Wei Qinghao and Qin Yunran had clear-cut standpoints, and they all stood on the sidelines without expressing their views.

Pouring tea is a must.Facing everyone's gaze, Gu Fangyao stood up, first poured tea for Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei smoothly with a smile on her face, and finally...slowly came to Gu Fangling.
