Rebirth: Return to Houfu

Chapter 43

Whether Gu Changlin had ulterior motives or not, Chen Ziyun only dared to be angry in his heart, and could not doubt it.Su Shi really listened to it in his heart, his complexion became more and more gloomy, and he stared at Gu Fangyao fixedly.

Gu Fangyao turned her face sideways, covered her face and hid herself in Chen Ziyun's arms without any trace.Right now she is in an extremely bad mood, and she really doesn't bother to pay attention to Mrs. Su, so she will leave it to her mother to deal with it.

Chen Ziyun didn't notice Gu Fangyao's careful thinking, only thought that Gu Fangyao was frightened by the Su family, instinctively hugged Gu Fangyao tightly and protected herself: "Mother, it was Yao'er's fault for accidentally hurting Madam Su. But Yao'er definitely didn't mean it, so I ask my mother to forgive me."

The Su family did not express their position directly, but turned to Madam Su.

Seeing Mrs. Su looking over, Nanny Su got up immediately.Gu Fangling on the side immediately supported her with her hands, showing no signs of embarrassment.

"Back to the old lady, the eldest lady started the dispute in order to ask the second young lady for a dowry. The old slave was indeed accidentally injured, and the eldest lady didn't intend to trouble the old slave." Su Momo kept her eyes fixed and her expression was serious.

Gu Changlin's expression suddenly turned cold, his eyes drooped slightly, staring at the ground thoughtfully.

"When will it be the girl's turn to make decisions about the dowry of the prostitute's daughter in Guhou's mansion? The eldest girl has opened the eyes of the old lady today!" Su Shi was on the verge of anger, and was ignited at the slightest provocation.

Su Momo stopped talking, and stood aside respectfully, waiting for Su Shi to deal with it.

"Mother, there must be a misunderstanding. No matter how ignorant Yao'er is, she won't..." Chen Ziyun hurriedly wanted to defend Gu Fangyao.It's just that he was interrupted by Su Shi waving his hand as soon as he spoke halfway.

"Okay, there's no need to talk about it." His face was full of impatience, and Su Shi suddenly changed the subject, "The eldest girl is getting married? When did you decide?"

Chen Ziyun hesitated, and said hesitantly: "No, Yao'er's marriage has not yet been settled."

"Since it hasn't been decided, why is the eldest girl rushing to grab the second girl's dowry?" Su Shi asked coldly.

Chen Ziyun paused, unable to find the right words to respond.

The Su family didn't expect Chen Ziyun to say anything, and after glancing at Gu Fangling, he said: "Originally, you, the stepmother, should be in charge of the second girl's marriage. But after today's incident, I still leave it to me." Old lady, let's prepare!"

"Mother, this is against the rules, daughter-in-law..." In desperation, Chen Ziyun couldn't care about Gu Fangyao anymore, and got up to bargain with Su Shi.

"You don't need to talk too much." Not wanting to listen to Chen Ziyun's excuses at all, Su said to herself, "I don't care about the eldest girl's marriage, and I can't care about it. You, mother and daughter, can make as much noise as you like. But, don't try any more. Divide up the dowry that should belong to the second girl."

At the end, Su Shi sighed with unknown meaning, and warned: "You are indeed the mistress of the Guhou Mansion. But it's not your turn to cover the heavens of the Guhou Mansion with your hands."

Chen Ziyun's face changed slightly, he nodded, not daring to say any more.Before today, although the Su family had clearly changed their attitude, they did not explicitly protect Gu Fangling.After today, Chen Ziyun knew that she could no longer suppress Gu Fangling at will like before.

"Grandmother, you really don't care about Yao'er's marriage?" Gu Fangyao opened her eyes in disbelief, and looked at Su Shi with tears in her eyes, with a look of grievance.

"The old lady is getting old, so she can't take care of so many things, and she can't take care of everything. The only second girl already needs my old lady to worry about it." No matter how pampering and loving Gu Fangyao was in the past, Su Shi suddenly became very indifferent, "The left and right girls have your mother to worry about, so the old lady will not interfere."

Gu Fangyao choked.She knows better than anyone else that the real master of Guhou's mansion is the Su family.If Mrs. Su didn't stand up for her marriage, even if she got the best marriage as she wished, she would definitely be looked down upon by her husband's family in the future.

Whether you like it or not, Su's final decision has brought an end to today's conflict.

Gu Fangyao failed to please her, and the intangible loss made her heartbroken even more.Seeing Gu Fangling's ruddy complexion and radiant spirit, he felt even more aggrieved.But because Su Clan was in front and Gu Changlin was staring at him, Gu Fangyao bit her lip and stopped for a while.

Chen Ziyun, who left sadly, looked gloomy, and he didn't recover for a long time.Zhou Wanrou's dowry to Gu Fangling, she has long been eyeing.I planned to find an opportunity to dig up all the dowries, but I didn't expect that the Su family took the lead.

After all, Yao'er was wrong.Why can't you hold your breath, startled the snake in a daze, and got caught by the mother Su beside the old lady?The more Chen Ziyun thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and his calculating thoughts were churning loudly.

He personally sent Gu Fangling back to the courtyard, and Gu Changlin didn't say much along the way.It was just that when we parted, I took a deep look at Gu Fangling: "Tomorrow there will be a football game in the academy, would Linger want to watch the game?"

"Is my brother also participating?" Gu Fangling asked excitedly with a change in his expression.

"En." Gu Changlin didn't intend to participate in the competition, but unfortunately, he was called by his master.The match against him was the team led by classmate Qin Yunran.

If such unhappiness hadn't happened today, Gu Changlin would not have proposed to take Gu Fangling with him.He has always had a grudge against Qin Yunran, and he is also worried that Ling'er's emotions will be affected by it.

However, due to the guard against Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao, just in case, after weighing the pros and cons, Gu Changlin decided to minimize the chances of the two of them finding trouble with Linger.

Grandmother taking over Ling'er's dowry seems to be a good thing on the surface, but it cannot withstand scrutiny.After going through the humiliation of retiring from the prime minister's office, Ling'er's reputation has gone through many twists and turns, with mixed reputations.Those who are biased towards Ling'er will naturally slander Ling'er's voice.

Gu Changlin is very clear that all the wives in Yancheng are watching.Look at the attitude of His Royal Highness, and also look at the next move of the Prime Minister's Office.If it's good, Ling'er may still get a good marriage.Otherwise, everything is in vain.

If Ling'er's marriage has not been settled, after a long time, there is no guarantee that the Su family will not steal Ling'er's dowry.When this matter is mentioned again in the future, Su will definitely be prevaricated and perfunctory at will, and taking precautions will undoubtedly not help the matter.

In Gu Changlin's heart, his own sister is the best, and she should be the sweet pastry for many people to step on the threshold and ask for marriage.Those who slander Linger are all blind people. They can't see Linger's goodness, and they don't deserve Linger's grief.That's why Gu Changlin planned to secretly choose a husband for Ling'er.

The husband that Ling'er wants to marry should be the one that Ling'er likes, and the one who cares for Ling'er in every possible way.With such a premise in front of him, what Gu Changlin has to do now is to try his best to create as many trips as possible for Linger.

With him watching from the side, I am not afraid that someone will dare to bully Ling'er without eyes.In addition, the most outstanding children of heaven in Yancheng will gather in Yancheng Academy tomorrow, and Gu Changlin believes that this trip will definitely be rewarding.

Taking a step back, even if Ling'er really doesn't meet the destined person tomorrow, it doesn't matter much.It's a good thing to go out to relax.

"Linger is going!" Gu Fangling nodded without knowing the many thoughts in Gu Changlin's mind, "Linger is going to cheer for brother."

In her previous life, Gu Fangling had always longed to go out for more walks, but she never had the chance until she died.After being reborn once again, Gu Fangling still did not give up on her original idea.What's more, it was Gu Changlin's invitation, she would go no matter what.

Gu Changlin nodded slightly, and the matter was settled.

Please come early the next day, Gu Fangling has just finished dressing up when Gu Changlin is ushered in.Without much delay, Gu Fangling followed Gu Changlin out the door with a bright smile.

Today's Yancheng Academy is very lively.Those who came to participate were not only the students who are currently studying at the Academy, but also the big shots who graduated from Yancheng Academy in previous years.The most conspicuous among them was the third prince Wei Qinghao who was standing with Qin Yunran.

Wei Qinghao took the initiative to invite Ying to play. As a strong support for Qin Yunran's team, he wandered around the field in high spirits.

It was only after Wei Qinghao came to the arena that he heard that Qin Yunran's opponent was actually Gu Changlin's.He couldn't help but secretly sighed for his miscalculation, and kept scanning the sidelines.He was too careless and didn't ask carefully.At this moment, it is imminent, but it is impossible to switch sides.

Thinking that if he helped Qin Yunran win the game, he might accidentally offend Gu Changlin, Wei Qinghao couldn't help feeling distressed.But if the opponent team wins a big victory by letting the water out secretly, firstly, it will lose face, and secondly, it will definitely be seen by interested people.Until then, it will be even more unclear.

Wei Qinghao pursed his lips and carefully weighed whether offending Gu Changlin would be a stumbling block for him to get close to Gu Fangling.

Logically speaking, Gu Changlin and Gu Fangling were not close, even if Gu Changlin lost face, Gu Fangling would not blame him.But Gu Changlin is the young master of Guhou's mansion after all, if he can make friends with him, it won't do him any harm...

At this moment, there was a burst of jubilation outside the arena.Wei Qinghao took a closer look, but it was His Royal Highness Wei Qingmo who appeared on the stage.

How did the prince come?Wei Qinghao turned his head to look at Qin Yunran in surprise, and seeing that he was also puzzled, he suddenly felt bad.Wei Qingmo was wearing the opponent's team uniform, obviously on Gu Changlin's side.In this way, winning or losing is uncertain.

Huh?His Royal Highness is also brother's teammate?I didn't hear my brother mention it on the way here!Gu Fangling shook her head, then smiled again.With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince present, my brother's chances of winning are greater, and other things seem unimportant.

"Gu Fangling? Why did you come here?" Everyone on and off the field focused their attention on Wei Qingmo, but behind Gu Fangling came a question without good intentions.

"Little princess." He knew it was Wei Qian immediately.Gu Fangling couldn't help but sighed softly, she couldn't figure out why she bumped into Wei Qian again.It's not a day or two that the two of them are at odds, and every time they meet, there will be troubles.Even if she doesn't care about it in her heart, she will be bored.
