Rebirth: Return to Houfu

Chapter 5

Gu Changlin, who sat silently by the side, couldn't see the hatred in Gu Fangling's eyes at the moment, but heard a trace of helplessness through her voice.But he didn't say anything, and he couldn't say anything.

"Old madam, the second girl is still young, so she needs to be more disciplined in the future. Don't be annoyed, just listen to what the young master has to say." Even when Gu Changlin couldn't speak without authorization, Su Momo had no scruples, I have long been used to it.

Hearing Madam Su's admonition, Mrs. Su snorted coldly, and turned to look at Gu Changlin angrily.

"Marriage is the most important thing." Under Su's scrutinizing gaze, Gu Changlin spoke concisely and directly cut to the point.

"What Changlin said is true." Without seeing the slightest change in Gu Changlin's expression, Su's face really eased, "There is no shortage of prostitutes in Guhou's mansion, if it is not for the appointment with the prime minister's mansion First of all, there is no need to bother."

Gu Changlin didn't respond, he picked up the teacup and sipped the tea slowly.From the beginning to the end, his eyes did not move in the direction of Gu Fangling.He knew from five years ago that only his indifference was the strategy for Ling'er's survival in Guhou Mansion.

Gu Changlin's indifference is naturally what Su Shi is most satisfied with.Involuntarily, the sullen mood after seeing Gu Fangling also dissipated.

Waving his hand, Su Shi said impatiently: "Okay, get up! There will be an answer from the Prime Minister's Mansion in the next two days, just wait in your yard obediently, and don't make any other moths."

"Fangling respectfully obeys grandmother's instructions." Standing up with her head down, Gu Fangling stepped back cautiously, shaking her body as if she almost lost her footing.

"Old lady, for five years in Licheng, the second girl must have endured a lot of hardships, so she knows she's afraid." The tone was still calm, and Madam Su watched her eyes, nose, nose, and heart, "Even just coming out of the lady's place , I didn't see losing my temper or playing with my temper. On the contrary, it seems that there is something wrong with Madam."

"What's wrong?" Compared to Gu Fangling, Mrs. Su was obviously more willing to listen to Madam Su's words.Obviously the person concerned was standing in front of him, so he passed Gu Fangling to ask Madam Su.

"The madam seems to have warned the second girl not to disturb the old madam, and she also said..." Su Momo paused, and continued with Su's urging eyes, "I also said that the old madam is in poor health, and the old slave just went to invite you When the second girl was, the second girl was quite worried about the old lady!"

This is clearly speaking for Gu Fangling.Gu Changlin's expression didn't change, but he glanced over secretly, not understanding what Madam Su's intention was.

Gu Fangling raised her head stupidly, opened her mouth slightly, and stared at Madam Su intently.

Su Clan was a little angry at first.Unexpectedly, after not seeing her for a while, the most reliable mother Su by her side was won over by Gu Fangling.But when she saw Gu Fangling's stupid reaction, Su suddenly felt that she was thinking too much.Su Momo has been by her side for so many years and has always done her best. How could she turn her elbow outward?

The thoughts in his heart turned, and Su Shi glanced at Madam Su with probing and thinking in his eyes.However, in front of everyone in the room, she still followed Mother Su's wishes and asked: "Mr. Chen really said that?"

"It sounds like this. Whether it's true or not has yet to be verified." In fact, as soon as the truth was spoken, Mother Su regretted it a little.Even if she wanted to help Gu Fangling, she should deal with the old lady slowly in private.It's just... well, when I'm old, my heart is too easy to soften, I just hope that the second girl will be good, and stop being simply calculated by others again without knowing it.

Su snorted inexplicably, and did not continue to ask, but turned to Gu Fangling: "Second girl's rules, it's time to teach her."

"The stepmother has already agreed to find a foster mother for Fangling from outside the mansion." Gu Fangling trembled, and answered the words submissively.

"Invite from outside the mansion?" Su's tone was full of mockery, apparently he did not expect that there were so many foster nuns in the mansion, and Chen Ziyun refused to ration any of them to Gu Fangling.However, she didn't care about Gu Fangling.As long as Gu Fangling doesn't hinder her long visit, she won't look at Gu Fangling at all.

Thinking like this, Su Shi looked at Gu Fangling as if he was looking at a dead object.Without raising any objection to Chen Ziyun's decision, Su said meaningfully: "The second young lady should learn the rules, so as not to marry into the prime minister's mansion in the future and insult the reputation of Guhou's mansion."

"Fang Ling always remembers her grandmother's teachings." Gu Fang Ling kept her head down, never looking at Su Shi.It was not only to cover up her own emotions, but also to avoid looking at Su's hideous face.

As far as Su Shi's lecture is concerned, there is nothing else to say.Or in other words, she didn't intend to spend much time on Gu Fangling.If it hadn't been reported by the servants, when Changlin returned to the mansion today and happened to bump into Gu Fangling who was blocked outside the gate of the Hou's mansion, the Su family would not have specially summoned Gu Fangling to answer.

Seemingly being sent off by the Su Clan, Gu Fangling walked away quickly without stopping.

Everyone present could see clearly, from the moment Gu Fangling came in to the time she left, she and Gu Changlin didn't say a word, nor did they meet for a moment.This kind of performance is already enough in the eyes of caring people.

"Miss, the old lady..." Following Gu Fangling, Lan Yan wanted to shed tears because of her grievance.Sad for the bruise on Gu Fangling's head, and even more sad for Gu Fangling being scolded for no reason.

"Lan Yan." Taking a deep breath, Gu Fangling did not let Lan Yan finish the rest of her sentence, "When you return to the Hou Mansion, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. Otherwise, no matter how big the mansion is, there will be no such thing as our master and servant." place of foothold."

Lan Yan's nose soured, and he wiped his red eyes vigorously: "Yes, Lan Yan remembered."

The echo from the Prime Minister's Mansion was faster than expected, but it was not what Guhou Mansion wanted to hear.Qin Yunran, the son of the prime minister who was famous in Yancheng, regretted his marriage.

Gu Qing, who was guarding the door, clenched his fists and stared at the southeast direction of Gu Hou Mansion, his eyes were full of hatred.There is the location of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The news spread quickly.It took only a day for Gu Fangling to return to Guhou's mansion, but the Prime Minister's mansion sent a message of regretting the marriage, which caught the whole Guhou's mansion by surprise.The reason why the prime minister's mansion regretted the marriage was precisely: the prostitute of Guhou's mansion disrespected his stepmother, and his conduct was worrying.

At that time, Gu Changlin was sitting and writing in the classroom of Yancheng Academy with a group of students.There was a thunder on the ground, and Gu Changlin broke the pen in his hand.With haze in his eyes, he looked at Qin Yunran who was sitting obliquely in front of him.

Sensing Gu Changlin's scorching gaze, Qin Yunran turned his head.He smiled apologetically at Gu Changlin, with an unchanging gentle look on his face.

Without any response, Gu Changlin withdrew his gaze.But the next moment, he stood up suddenly, told the teacher for leave, and strode out of the academy.

Seeing Gu Changlin's angry back, and seeing the broken pen left on Gu Changlin's desk, Qin Yunran frowned slightly, with surprise and puzzlement flashing in his eyes.Having been classmates with Gu Changlin for several years, he is aware of the fact that the relationship between Gu Changlin and Gu Fangling is indifferent.If this is the case, why is Gu Changlin still angry because of his remorse?
"Grandmother." Back at Gu Hou's mansion, the first person Gu Changlin went to look for was not Gu Fangling, but the Su family, "The prime minister's mansion divorced?"

"Long Lin?" Su Clan was taken aback for a moment, then his face darkened, "Why did you appear in the mansion at this hour? What about your studies? Don't care about it?"

"No." Knowing that he lost his temper in a moment, Gu Changlin shook his head quickly, and explained with a blank expression, "The news of Qin Yunran's divorce has already spread in the academy, and it is not appropriate for his grandson to stay in the academy for the time being, as other students will gossip and make fun of him. "

Gu Changlin's explanation was reasonable, Su's expression softened a little, and his tone was no longer aggressive: "Don't let these matters in the inner courtyard of the mansion delay your studies."

"Grandson, please remember." Gu Changlin paused for a moment, and then said again, "The marriage between the Marquis Gu's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion is very important, and it would be a pity to give up on it."

"What Changlin is worried about is that grandma is also worried about this matter. If Gu Fangling hadn't been ineffective, how could he have insulted the prestige of the Marquis Gu's mansion in vain, and even caused such a scandal?" Seeing that Gu Changlin was not killed because of Gu Fangling Repenting of the marriage and returning to the mansion, he mentioned the importance of the marriage between the Hou Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Su family no longer pursued Gu Changlin's abnormal behavior, but instead held Gu Fangling accountable.

Gu Changlin didn't speak at first, and let Su's vent his anger, before he said coldly: "How did the trivial matters in the mansion get out, the Hou mansion needs to be rectified."

Su's family paused for a moment, and a murderous look flashed across his face: "Yes. Grandma will send someone to investigate carefully, where is the root cause of our Guhou's mansion."

At the same time, Gu Fangling appeared outside the Prime Minister's Mansion with blue smoke.

"Miss, do we really want to go in?" Looking at the plaque of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lan Yan always felt uneasy.

"Go in, of course you have to go in. If you don't go in, won't others think that I, Gu Fangling, are soft persimmons that can be manipulated at will?" Gu Fangling raised the corner of her mouth and took the lead to step up the steps.Step by step, firm steps, decisive mind.

In her previous life, she was knocked out by the sudden news of her divorce, and she was completely out of control.Apart from secretly hiding in the Hou Mansion and weeping bitterly, there was no other action.So much so that until a long time later, whenever people in Yancheng mentioned her, they would bring her and Qin Yunran together.It was also because of Qin Yunran's resignation that she completely confirmed her bad reputation of disrespecting her stepmother, and it never got rid of it in her whole life.

But this time, Gu Fangling really wanted to ask herself exactly what went wrong with her conduct, and what made her unworthy of the son of the prime minister's mansion.This marriage, she can not.But her damaged reputation for no reason must be explained by the Prime Minister's Office.
