Rebirth: Return to Houfu

Chapter 59

Regarding Chen Junbao's arrival, Gu Fangling's mood did fluctuate a little, but she did not lose her composure in panic.What should come will come anyway, she can't prevent it, and she doesn't intend to trap herself in it again.

Once again, too many things have deviated from the track.His Royal Highness the crown prince is no longer Gu Fangyao's backer, and the third prince seems to have no interest in Gu Fangyao.Even the marriage contract between Qin Yunran and Wei Qian was advanced several years.Not to mention Su's attitude towards her, Madam Su became her ears and eyes in Guhou Mansion...

The piles of piles so far all show the difference between this life and the previous life.Therefore, for Chen Junbao, Gu Fangling has full confidence that he can get away from the suffering and suffering in his memory.

"Madam, Young Master Biao has come to greet you." When Gu Fangling used to say hello to Chen Ziyun, before he left, he heard the loud report from the copper ring beside Chen Ziyun.

"Jun Bao is here? Please come in quickly." Hearing Chen Junbao's name, Chen Ziyun smiled happily and got up to greet him hastily.

Gu Fangling's face darkened, but it was only for a moment, so fast that no one noticed.Then he regained his indifference as calm as water, and said softly: "Then Fang Ling will go back first."

"Second Miss, wait a minute." Grabbing Gu Fangling's arm, Chen Ziyun's smile was extraordinarily warm, and he couldn't help but say, "Second Miss, don't rush away, Mother will introduce someone to you."

"That's unnecessary." Gu Fangling struggled, but didn't break free.However, her refusal attitude was extremely obvious, and she did not hesitate at all, "Fang Ling will stay in her boudoir for the time being, and it is inconvenient to see male guests."

"What kind of male guest? It's my cousin, Fangling's cousin." He had already heard from Chen Junbao that he went to Gu Fangling's yard before but hit a wall. Chen Ziyun was not without anger, but he was hindered. Yu had other plans, so he had to make friends with Gu Fangling for the time being.

"It should be my sister's cousin!" Gu Fangling shook her head lightly and reminded, "Fangling remembers that Fangling's mother is the only daughter in the family and has no siblings to help."

Gu Fangling's words sounded right at first glance.But if you taste it carefully, you will notice something is wrong.It seems that Gu Fangling is implying that she has bad intentions and asked her natal family to help her?The smile on Chen Ziyun's face froze, but he did not let go of his grip on Gu Fangling.

After such a delay, Chen Junbao had already walked in.Because the copper ring had reminded Chen Junbao that Gu Fangling was also in the room at the moment, so Chen Junbao did not show any surprise at the extra strange girl in front of him.He walked forward with a warm smile, and greeted Chen Ziyun politely.

"Junbao just follows the etiquette too much. My aunt is not in another place. Why are you so cautious? You are all from your own family, so you don't need to see outsiders." While Chen Ziyun was speaking, he pushed Gu Fangling in front of Chen Junbao, " Here, this is the second girl of Guhou's Mansion that you have been thinking about so much, can you take a closer look? Are you satisfied?"

Chen Ziyun relied on his elders and also took care of the hostess of the Hou's mansion. He played with Chen Junbao and Gu Fangling in a teasing manner without any intention of hiding it.For such an act, if Chen Junbao and Gu Fangling are happy with each other and agree with each other, they will naturally be grateful.But if both parties are dissatisfied with each other, or one of them has no will, it will inevitably be annoying.

And now Chen Ziyun is right in the middle.While being watched gratefully by Chen Junbao, Gu Fangling frowned and shook his hand away with dissatisfaction.

Gu Fangling used all her strength this time, and Chen Ziyun inadvertently relaxed her strength, so Gu Fangling broke free easily.

Without showing any sympathy to Chen Ziyun, Gu Fangling said with a cold face, "Retire first", and left quickly.He completely ignored Chen Ziyun's yelling behind him and the other party involved in the room.

Chen Junbao wasn't in a very happy mood, he was a little annoyed apart from embarrassment.

Seeing Gu Fangling's face with his own eyes, it is undeniable that he is happy.At least, Gu Fangling is not as ugly as without salt. Apart from her noble background, there are other merits.

But Gu Fangling's arrogance... Chen Junbao, who experienced it for the first time, didn't like it very much.Instead of marrying such a defiant and delicate young lady and going back as a benefactor, he might as well choose another marriage and stay away from this so-called prostitute of Guhoufu.

Chen Ziyun's complexion was not very good-looking either.She tried her best to arrange for Gu Fangling to meet Chen Junbao, but she didn't want to see Gu Fangling flirt with her.

Chen Ziyun originally thought that with Chen Junbao's handsome figure and erudition, he would definitely win Gu Fangling's heart.But she never expected that Gu Fangling would be so ungrateful that she dared to ignore her face.

Normally speaking, what Chen Ziyun thought was not impossible.At least in the previous life, when Gu Fangling met Chen Junbao for the first time, she was indeed tempted.

However, Gu Fangling's affection for Chen Junbao at that time was based on the premise that he did not know that Chen Junbao was Chen Ziyun's natal nephew.After confirming Chen Junbao's true identity, Gu Fangling immediately chose to stay away.

Now, once again, Gu Fangling was the first to know the identity of Chen Junbao, so of course it was impossible for Chen Ziyun to fulfill his wish.What's more, the meeting scene arranged by Chen Ziyun is really not very beautiful, and it is pure nonsense to want to make Gu Fangling's heart move.

"Miss, Mrs. Hou did it on purpose." Leaving Chen Ziyun's yard, Lan Yan lowered her voice with a serious expression, "When the young master Biao came in, Tonghuan gave Mrs. Hou a look. Also, I quietly I sneaked out to have a look, and the copper ring has been waiting outside the door, as if waiting for someone. Not surprisingly, it is the Young Master Biao."

"Tell Gu Qing, from now on, keep that young master from approaching me within ten steps." Gu Fangling didn't say much about Lan Yan's report, but directly gave the death order.

"Yes." Ever since Gu Fangling rescued Lan Yan and Gu Qing from Gu Fangyao, Lan Yan and Gu Qing had grown a lot.

Lan Yan began to take the initiative to curry favor with Su Nanny, trying her best to absorb Su Nanny's methods.Gu Qing went to Gu Changlin privately and asked to join the guard team in the mansion.

The guards of Guhou Mansion were divided into several groups, both openly and secretly.Obedient to Gu Houye's guards, he would never disobey the orders of Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao, treating them as masters.If you obey the old lady's guard, you will not refuse Gu Changlin's request.

In addition, there is also a small group of backbone forces that are extremely inconspicuous but whose strength cannot be underestimated. Mingli may be from Lord Gu, or from the Su family.But in fact, Gu Changlin was the only one of them who obeyed orders.This wave of power is not great, it is scattered around Guhou's mansion, so hidden that even the Su family, who claims to be a cloud, has not noticed it.

If Gu Qing hadn't knelt in front of Gu Changlin with a firm face and begged with his life, Gu Changlin would never have shown his strength.However, since Gu Qing was inserted in, Gu Qing should learn it, and Gu Changlin would not hide his secrets, so he ordered it soon.

Therefore, for the next half a year, Gu Qing has been silently working hard to enhance his strength, practicing hard day and night.In order to protect Lan Yan, and even his young lady, even if Gu Qing was asked to exchange the head of the item, he would not blink.

Gu Changlin once said that there are not many people available, but good ones.Because of this kind of person, sometimes one of the top ten is useful, and sometimes it can even play a role in turning defeat into victory, which is enough to reverse the overall situation.Lan Yan is this kind of person, and Gu Qing is even more so.

Gu Fangling is not very clear about the distribution of camps in the guard, nor has she ever cared about it.She believed in Gu Qing, whether it was Gu Qing's strength or his loyalty to her, no words were needed to prove it.She would let Gu Qing go begging Gu Changlin, and naturally she would not interfere with Gu Qing's tricks of secretly recruiting people.

In fact, neither Gu Qing nor Lan Yan disappointed Gu Fangling.Lan Yan currently has countless little sisters in the mansion.Up to the servants in Su's and Master Gu's yard, down to the servants in the kitchen and laundry yard, as long as there are people, there will be blue smoke's footprints.

In contrast, Gu Qing is much more low-key.Except for Gu Fangling and Lan Yan, even Gu Changlin didn't pay attention. Gu Qing gradually gathered his own small circle in the guard team.There are brothers who treat each other with sincerity, and friends who drink and eat meat, and there are even more mutually beneficial interests.It's complicated, and I'm afraid that even Gu Changlin's people may not be able to dig out all of them.

Under such circumstances, Gu Fangling wanted to avoid a mere Chen Junbao, no doubt it couldn't be easier.As long as she gives an order, Gu Qing and Lan Yan will arrange it properly, and no one can find any mistakes.This is the price of blood.

"Jun Bao, it's not that my aunt sells herself and brags. Our daughter of Guhou's mansion is still very honorable. Even if she is rejected by the prime minister's mansion, she doesn't have to worry about not being able to marry a good family. Not to mention that the second girl was once favored by the emperor and the prince. , Young Master is now the No. [-] student in high school, and the second girl's value has doubled, she is impeccable." After Gu Fangling left, Chen Ziyun's face was ugly, but he quickly adjusted it.Immediately afterwards, it was the brainwashing operation for Chen Junbao.

Chen Junbao smiled knowingly, without any strange expression on his face: "Yes, Junbao knows about it. Auntie's kindness, and Junbao's understanding, will definitely not disappoint Auntie. Just watch it, Auntie."

"As expected, he is a child taught by our Chen family. Whether it is appearance or character, he is a dragon and phoenix among people." Chen Ziyun nodded with satisfaction, and waved Tonghuan and the others back with a mysterious expression, "Then Junbao knows, aunt This time you were specially brought to Guhou's mansion, not only for the second girl's marriage, but also for your cousin's marriage?"

"Didn't the cousin's marriage be discussed before, and it will be assigned to Young Master Qin in the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Chen Junbao is far away in Ye City, so the news is inevitably not well-informed.Coupled with Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao's deliberate concealment, even the Chen family still thinks that Gu Fangyao has successfully replaced Gu Fangling and won the marriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"This is another important thing that my aunt asked you for." The matter has come to this point, and there is no way to hide it.Chen Ziyun shook his head lightly, showing embarrassment, "The marriage in the prime minister's mansion was snatched away by the Mu Wang's mansion. Your cousin, she... Hey, everything is fate!"

"Is there such a thing?" Chen Junbao was astonished, he never expected that something that had been well planned in advance would suddenly go wrong.After all, the marriage between Prime Minister's Mansion and Guhou Mansion is well known in the world, and it was decided early in the morning.Even if it wasn't Gu Fangling, it should be Gu Fangyao.

"My aunt doesn't want this kind of accident to happen, but... after all, Prince Mu's Mansion is a relative of the emperor. We can't compare, so we can only wrong your cousin." At the end, Chen Ziyun wiped the corners of his eyes with a sad look, and the words in his words The helplessness is all over the outside.

Chen Junbao followed suit and nodded.No matter what kind of misfortune lies in it, it cannot be controlled by a small person like him.Since there is no way to question it, why bother to ask?

After waiting for a long time before Chen Junbao made a statement, Chen Ziyun was unavoidably a little discouraged.But due to helplessness, he had no choice but to take the initiative to confess his intentions: "That's right. Because of Xiaohou Ye's Imperial Examination High School, Gu Hou's mansion has been busy recently, and there are many noble talents coming and going. Hurry up and bring Junbao here at this time." I just want Jun Bao to take advantage of this opportunity to make more close friends, which will come in handy in the future. Jun Bao must not miss my aunt's kindness."

"Jun Bao thanked my aunt for her kindness. I will definitely live up to my aunt's expectations." Chen Junbao still believed in Chen Ziyun's intentions.

Apart from this aunt, the Chen family has no other powerful people to rely on.Before coming to Yancheng, Chen Junbao had secretly made up his mind that he must try his best to win Chen Ziyun's favor.Only in this way can he have a bright future in Yancheng.

Now that Chen Ziyun expressed his goodwill, Chen Junbao no longer pretended to be stupid, and obediently followed Chen Ziyun's words: "I don't know what my aunt mentioned about my cousin earlier, but is there anything Junbao can do to help?"

"Of course there is." Finally Chen Junbao's words came, Chen Ziyun heaved a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "The King Mu's House is fighting for the power of the royal family. We dare not fight, and we cannot. But just like the second girl To be able to benefit from the light of the young master, your cousin also needs a strong helper. It is a pity that your cousin is still young, so he can't help you for the time being. The best candidate in my aunt's mind is undoubtedly Jun Bao gone."

Chen Ziyun's words can be said to be heart-pounding, Chen Junbao heard it clearly, how could he not be touched in his heart?

Taking a deep breath, Chen Junbao nodded solemnly, and promised: "Don't worry, aunt. But wherever Junbao can help, he is absolutely duty-bound and will do his best."

Just when Chen Ziyun and Chen Junbao's aunt and nephew were talking seriously, Gu Fangling was also called by the Su family.

"Second Miss, you mean that you have already met Young Master Chen Jiabiao?" Su Shi knew all about Chen Ziyun's little calculations.Hearing that Chen Ziyun deliberately arranged for Chen Junbao to pay his respects to Gu Fangling on weekdays, Su Shi thought of such an event.The reason why he didn't come forward to stop him was that he wanted to see Gu Fangling's reaction before making a decision.

Gu Fangling nodded, and said without hesitation: "Yes, I have. The stepmother seems to want Fangling to meet that young master Biao very much. But Fangling didn't like it very much, so she just quit."

"Oh? Second Miss doesn't like it? Is there something about that Young Master Biao that makes Second Miss dissatisfied?" Although compared with the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chen Junbao is not worth mentioning at all.But what Chen Ziyun said was right, Gu Fangling was a woman who was divorced after all, this stain would accompany Gu Fangling for the rest of her life, I am afraid that very few wealthy families would not care about it.

On the contrary, if Gu Fangling is willing to lower her status, lower the threshold, and marry a husband who is completely manageable, it would be a wise move.Or maybe Gu Fangling will not be rich in this life, but she can live in peace, smooth sailing, and comfort.

Su Shi has lived for most of his life, and occasionally when he calms down and thinks about it, he would feel that ordinary life is quite good.There is no need to intrigue, and there is no need to be linked to power. Isn't it another kind of happiness?
"That's not true. Fang Ling just felt that no matter where the young master came from, he was always a male guest. Fang Ling's first-class woman should still be honored as a boudoir, and she couldn't insult the face of Gu Hou's mansion. What's more, my brother Fang high school champion, it is inevitable that some people with ulterior motives want to take the opportunity to cling to brother. Fang Ling is useless and can't help brother, but at least he can't hold him back." Gu Fangling's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was almost unheard.However, she still didn't forget to add a pleasant sentence, "It also saves grandma from worrying about it."

Sure enough, Su's complexion brightened in an instant, and she nodded straight at Gu Fangling: "The second girl has grown up and knows how to solve problems for grandmother and your brother. The second girl did the right thing, and grandma must praise the second girl." The girl's behavior is becoming more and more stable, which is worthy of praise."

"The second girl is caring. In the past, it was only because of the lack of guidance from the elders that she seemed jerky. Now that the old lady is watching, she will definitely not let down the old lady's painstaking efforts." Su Mama's timely interjection made the already harmonious relationship The atmosphere became warmer, and without a trace, Gu Fangling had a good impression in front of Su Shi.

"That's the reason. No matter how bad we are, the girls in the Marquis Gu's Mansion are the best among the ladies, and we will definitely not lose to others. Although the second girl started late, she is the best in terms of rules and etiquette. Not to mention in our Guhou Mansion, even if you enter the palace, you can't find anything wrong." No matter how much the Su family hated Gu Fangling in the past, she is now sincerely able to tolerate Gu Fangling's survival in Guhou in the government.

Just like Su Momo said, just teach Gu Fangling to be what she wants, isn't it a kind of demonstration?
The Su family listened to Madam Su's words in their hearts, and began to build Gu Fangling in a serious manner.When she thought of seeing Zhou Wanwei and his so-called wife when she went to the underworld in the Yin Dynasty, Su couldn't help feeling complacent.At that time, she must take a good look at the complexion of the general's wife.

Su Clan did not forget that Gu Fangling's face resembled that general's wife very much.I don't know how many times when Gu Fangling was instructed by the superiors, Su Shi had the illusion that he was reprimanding the general's wife.

This kind of carefree feeling has never been experienced in many years.After experiencing it, Su Shi couldn't stop.

Gu Fangling didn't know why the Su family didn't want to see her so much.She has never met her grandmother, and she doesn't know how similar her appearance is to her grandmother.Even if she knew this, Gu Fangling would never have thought that the reason why Su Shi hated her was because she couldn't ask for her grandfather, and because she hated her grandmother deeply.

Everyone says the word "love", which is the most annoying.In the previous life, Gu Fangling was always involuntary, and never truly experienced the ups and downs.Qin Yunran withdrew her marriage. Although she resented Qin Yunran, she didn't have the persistent belief to take revenge.When she married Chen Junbao, it was even more out of her original intention. At the beginning, she couldn't talk about deep affection, but later on, it was even more complicated and had nothing to do with affection and love.

After two lifetimes, Gu Fangling failed to learn to love, nor did she know what it means to be loved.There were too many burdens hidden in her heart, which heavily suppressed her romantic emotions.get married?Can.It's only about whether it fits or not, there is no such thing as whether you like it or not.

What's more, will Gu Fangling really marry this time?If you don't want your brother to worry, you should marry.But if her elder brother can accept to support her for the rest of her life, Gu Fangling will be happy from the bottom of her heart.

Therefore, the decision is in the hands of Gu Changlin, not Gu Fangling herself.
