Rebirth: Return to Houfu

Chapter 4

"Qi Madam, is it Yinsuo's? Yinsuo shouldn't have seen the second girl sitting and refused to move, so he anxiously urged the second girl to come to see the wife, and this made the second girl pour tea on Yinsuo's face It's all Yinsuo, damn it, Yinsuo will kneel down and admit his mistake with the second girl." As expected of Chen Ziyun's extremely trusted and capable confidant, when the situation is not right, Yinsuo immediately makes troubles, and tells the truth.

I have to admit that what Yinsuo said was very beautiful.Not only did she succeed in picking herself out, but she also took advantage of the situation to once again put the notoriety of "disrespecting her stepmother" on Gu Fangling's head.

Knowing that her stepmother was waiting, she refused to obey orders, and even wantonly beat and scolded the servants sent by her stepmother... Gu Fangling had just returned to the Hou Mansion, and she was defiant, openly treating her stepmother as nothing.Sure enough, it was still as outrageous as it was five years ago!

Gu Fangling can fully imagine how much rumors about her will be raging in Yancheng after today.It's just that, this time, Gu Fangling will no longer lose her composure like in her previous life when she was anxious and annoyed because of her reputation, and then she will be caught in more mistakes, and finally get into the dead end of the vicious circle.

After hearing Yinsuo's plausible complaint, Chen Ziyun did not get angry in a hurry, but his expression changed drastically, revealing his sorrow and pain: "Could it be that the second girl is still unwilling to admit that I am a aunt? This... what should I do?"

Looking at the unmoved Gu Fangling with a flustered expression, Chen Ziyun was overjoyed, but his mouth became more and more humble: "I... If the second girl is dissatisfied with me in any way, you can say it clearly. As long as it is reasonable, I can change it."

"The stepmother misunderstood." Gu Fangling ignored Chen Ziyun's "aunt" and lowered her head, hiding the sarcasm in her eyes. In the Guhou Mansion, it is inevitable that etiquette has been forgotten. For the past five years, Fang Ling has grown up alone in an empty remote courtyard. What she hopes most is to have a reasonable elder who can teach Fang Ling the rules so that he will not be punished by the court. Others saw the joke in the Guhou Mansion. But now, if even the stepmother thinks she is unable to teach Fang Ling, then Fang Ling..."

With a distressed and helpless expression on his face, Gu Fangling asked cautiously: "Could it be that... stepmother asked Fangling to ask grandma to help?"

"Of course not!" Flatly rejecting Gu Fangling's proposal, at this moment Chen Ziyun really felt a sense of regret for shooting himself in the foot.If you really want to invite the old lady out, what else can she do?Even if she is the Madam of the Hou Mansion now, she has to stand aside in front of the old lady, and there is no room for her to intervene.

"Stepmother?" Looking at Chen Ziyun pretending to be ignorant, Gu Fangling's tone was full of doubt and incomprehension.

Knowing that the reaction just now was too big, Chen Ziyun laughed dryly, relieved his breath, and suddenly became kind-hearted: "The old lady is getting old, and her health has been getting worse in the past two years. The doctor told me that she needs to take a good rest. , don't be alarmed. If the second girl thinks highly of it..."

"It's worthy of consideration." Interrupting Chen Ziyun's next words, Gu Fangling replied seriously, "Then stepmother will take the trouble to find a reliable nurturing mother for Fangling from outside the residence."

Chen Ziyun choked.She originally meant that she would teach Gu Fangling herself.In this way, not only is her position as the Madam of the Hou Mansion more legitimate, but she can also firmly hold Gu Fangling in her hands.Who would have thought that Gu Fangling was going to ask the foster mother for advice?And still looking for it from outside the government?
"This...Fang Ling, there is no shortage of nuns in Guhou's mansion. Why don't I have all the nuns in the mansion called to you, and you can choose which one you want? As for the outside of the mansion I'm really worried..." Chen Ziyun certainly wouldn't let outsiders enter the mansion easily, so he waved his hands to call for them.

Today's Guhou Mansion is full of Chen Ziyun's eyeliner, and it couldn't be easier to arrange for one to come to Gu Fangling's side.But if it is someone from outside who enters the mansion, regardless of whether they are loyal or not, whether they will be easily won over by Gu Fangling is also a question worth considering.

Due to various worries, Chen Ziyun did not intend to agree to Gu Fangling's request, but instead prepared to force a trustworthy nurturing nurse over.Of course, you must find the most powerful parenting nun to be effective.

"With the help of my stepmother, Fang Ling believes that there will be no mistakes." Without giving Chen Ziyun a chance to object, Gu Fangling continued, "I think stepmother is the hostess of the Hou Mansion, and she must do many things by herself, so she must be very busy. Fang Ling will not bother you any more, and will go back first."

Ignoring Chen Ziyun's hesitant appearance, Gu Fangling finished speaking quickly, turned around and walked away.

Watching Gu Fangling walk out of the room, Chen Ziyun's expression darkened: "Go and invite the eldest girl over."

On the other hand, after leaving Chen Ziyun's courtyard, Gu Fangling was in a good mood.In her previous life, she was disowned by Chen Ziyun before she even entered the mansion, and when she actually met, she was choked by Chen Ziyun's hypocrisy, her heart ached and her lungs ached, and she lost her composure several times.But this time, the past will definitely not repeat itself.

"Second Miss, the old lady is here to invite you." Gu Fangling had just walked across a section of the stone bridge when she was stopped by a stern-faced old lady.

"It's Mother Su! Long time no see, how old are you?" The familiar face, if it was Gu Fangling from the previous life, would definitely not be recognizable.However, the current Gu Fangling clearly engraved in his mind all the people who should be remembered in the Guhou Mansion.

"Miss Lao Er, don't worry, the old slave is fine." She never thought that Gu Fangling, who had been away for five years, would still remember her, and a look of surprise flashed across Mammy Su's face.

"That's good. Su Momo has been by Grandma's side all the time, and she seems to be close to her own family. If she is away from Su Momo, Grandma will not be used to it." With a shallow smile, Gu Fangling raised her feet and walked towards Gu Hou The courtyard of the old lady Su's family.

"The old lady's body is still strong, and this old slave absolutely dare not make any mistakes." Su Momo was Su Shi's personal girl when she was still in her natal family, and she followed Su Shi to marry into Guhou's mansion.All these years, he has always been around, never married, and his relationship is different.

"Really?" Exclaimed inappropriately, Gu Fangling immediately showed embarrassment again, blushed and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Fangling didn't mean that. It was just at the stepmother's side, and the stepmother mentioned grandmother In the past two years, her health has not been very good, and she told Fang Ling not to bother her grandmother. Fang Ling just..."

Mother Su's face turned dark because of Gu Fangling's exclamation, but after hearing Gu Fangling's timely explanation, she slightly improved.Nodding thoughtfully, Mother Su said calmly: "The second girl just returned to the mansion, so she doesn't know many things in the mansion, so it's reasonable. It's just that some people have some words, and those who should not be believed should be avoided. , be careful to get killed."

Gu Fangling straightened her expression, and bowed respectfully to Madam Su: "Fang Ling thank Madam Su for your teaching."

Staring deeply at Gu Fangling, Madam Su nodded, as if casually reminded: "Young Master is also with the old lady."

Gu Fangling suddenly showed surprise, looking at Madam Su not knowing what to say.

He is really an ignorant child!Madam Su shook her head inwardly, and walked ahead.

Following behind Nanny Su, Gu Fangling pursed her lips, showing a relaxed smile as if relieved.

Compared with Chen Ziyun's courtyard, old lady Su's courtyard is bigger.Not only because of the honorable status of Mrs. Su as the old lady of the Guhou Mansion, but also because of the title of "Madam Su" on her head.

I heard that when the late emperor conquered the country, the old Hou Ye contributed a lot, and the Su family was also praised by the late emperor as a woman who does not give up to a man, and secretly served the late emperor.Therefore, at the same time when Lord Hou was conferred the title of marquis, the old lady also became the first imperial lady to be granted the title in the history of Yan Kingdom. One can imagine her lofty status.

For this grandmother who was not close, Gu Fangling used to be extremely disgusted, even hated.In the huge Guhou Mansion, except for the old lady, no one can suppress Chen Ziyun's arrogance.However, the Su family has never made a move, and has been allowing Chen Ziyun to cover the sky with one hand, watching her and her pregnant sister-in-law Qi Yan struggling to death, sending two lives, two children, and three lives in vain...

But once again, Gu Fangling can't offend the Su family no matter whether she wants to or not.What's more, she must try her best to please Su Shi.Even Su Momo, who is next to Su's family, is more honorable than her, a prostitute, in Guhou's mansion.

In the main hall of the Su family's courtyard, the Su family sat on the top seat, and Gu Changlin was on the right, waiting for Gu Fangling's arrival.

"Fangling pays respects to grandma." Kneeling on the ground in a serious manner, Gu Fangling seriously kowtowed to Su Clan three times.

"Second Miss should know why she was able to return home this time." With an affirmative tone without question, Su's voice was very dry, without the slightest hint of love.

"Yes. Fangling knows." The former Gu Fangling really didn't know why he was suddenly taken back to the Hou's mansion.At that time, she naively thought that it was Gu Hou's mansion who thought of her as a prostitute.But in fact, it wasn't Guhou's mansion who thought of her, but the prime minister's mansion thought about her engagement with Qin Yunran.

"Oh? Let's hear it." Until this moment, Su Clan finally cast his eyes on Gu Fangling like a charity.Of course, her expression was still not very happy, and she had no intention of getting Gu Fangling to get up.

Kneeling on the cold ground like this, Gu Fangling didn't see any grievances on her face, and said slowly: "Fangling is thirteen now, already at the age of Ji."

"Oh! It's hard for you to remember this marriage. If you didn't bear the marriage contract with the Prime Minister's Mansion, you wouldn't regret it even if you stayed in the other courtyard of Licheng for the rest of your life." Without warning, Su took another shot The table shook, and the room was completely silent.

"Fang Ling knows it's wrong." There was another smacking of the head, and Gu Fangling fell half of her body to the ground, her terrified voice was obviously trembling and... faintly crying.
