Rebirth: Return to Houfu

Chapter 62

"Second girl." When Gu Fangling was brought to the garden of the third prince's mansion, Wei Qinghao had already waited for a while, "Please sit here."

"My daughter has seen the third prince." Looking across the gazebo a few steps away, Gu Fangling did not move.She didn't have much trust in Wei Qinghao's character for being courteous for nothing.

"The second girl really doesn't need to be so reserved in front of me." The more he felt Gu Fangling's alienation, the more unhappy Wei Qinghao became.He has no malice towards Gu Fangling, but Gu Fangling obviously doesn't think so.It's just that he has no other choice but to comfort him with gentle words.

Gu Fangling nodded slightly, and silently took a small step back.If she had to choose, she would rather be alone with Wei Qingmo.In previous lives, at least Wei Qingmo never took the initiative to harm her, but Wei Qinghao... As Gu Fangyao's husband, contact with Gu Fangling is not much, but it is not impossible.Not to mention Wei Qinghao's attitude towards Gu Fangling, it's really not friendly.

Seeing Gu Fangling's actions, Wei Qinghao's eyes flashed coldly, suppressing the dislike in his heart, sighed and shook his head: "It seems that I really don't like the second girl."

"My daughter dare not." Gu Fangling stepped back half a step again, with a respectful expression and full of etiquette.

He said he didn't dare, but his feet showed the exact opposite.Gu Fangling's body is more honest than her words.Wei Qinghao suddenly raised the corners of his mouth coldly, and stretched out his hand to grab Gu Fangling's arm involuntarily: "Let's go sit over there together!"

Gu Fangling wanted to escape, but she was a step too late, unable to avoid Wei Qinghao's prepared approach.Feeling uneasy as well, Gu Fangling looked around subconsciously.

Lan Yan, who was following behind, was about to step forward when Wei Qinghao's men stopped her.The expression was anxious, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only watch helplessly as his young lady was forcibly taken into the gazebo by the third prince.

Wei Qinghao's strength was not heavy, but it did not give Gu Fangling the possibility to break free.It wasn't until he dragged Gu Fangling to the gazebo to sit down that Wei Qingmo finally let go of his hand, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I hope the second girl will not blame me."

Anger flashed across Gu Fangling's eyes, and his lips were tightly pursed into a straight line.If he really felt sorry, he shouldn't have been rude to her just now.Wei Qinghao's apology was not sincere enough.

If Wei Qinghao hadn't been the prince, Gu Fangling would have slapped her the moment his hand touched her just now.Even if you can't beat it, it is feasible to scream a few times to cause a riot.

However, Gu Fangling, who once fell into the darkest abyss, knows better than anyone else that Wei Qinghao has become an absolute power just because of his status as the prince.And she, no matter if she refuses strongly or struggles and curses, it will be futile and useless in this situation.

"Second girl, don't be nervous. The reason why I invited the second girl out today is just to ask the second girl for an answer." Wei Qinghao didn't want to use force on Gu Fangling, but... it was precisely because of his previous behavior The movements were too slow and the worries were too much, which gave Gu Fangling the chance to escape again and again.

If he had known that Gu Fangling was capable of obtaining oral instructions from his father, Wei Qinghao would definitely not let Gu Fangling be at ease for so long.At least, after he has enough ability to control Gu Fangling's fate, he must allow Gu Fangling to act recklessly.

Wei Qinghao couldn't help feeling sad when he thought of Gu Fangling's words from the Holy Master that he had so easily obtained.That was a will that even he could not resist, as long as Gu Fangling said "no", he would have no way to really force Gu Fangling to marry into the third prince's residence.

It is precisely because of his unwillingness to hide that today's Wei Qinghao is extra impatient and forceful, and there is no room for Gu Fangling to refuse.

Gu Fangling did not answer, but lowered her head and remained silent.Although what Wei Qinghao said was consultation, the toughness in his words already showed that he was bound to win.

"I don't know what the second girl plans for her marriage? The Prime Minister's Mansion is certainly a good place, but now she has no chance with the second girl. There are many rich families near Yancheng, but not all of them are suitable for the second girl to submit to marry. I just don't know. Is the second girl interested in visiting my third prince's mansion?" Straight to the point, Wei Qinghao's intentions were very clear, and he mentioned the matter of retiring from the prime minister's mansion without hesitation, just waiting for Gu Fangling to obediently let go Should be next.

However, Gu Fangling was not at all interested in Wei Qinghao's proposal.It is impossible to say that there is no shock in the bottom of my heart.It was Gu Fangyao who married Wei Qinghao in the previous life, and Gu Fangyao relied on her status as Princess Jin to run amok unscrupulously.But this time, fate seemed to be completely different.

But for Gu Fangling, no matter what Wei Qinghao asked for, she couldn't give it.In the new life, she wants more, and wants to always stick to herself and never repeat the same mistakes.

Silence is often the most direct answer.Wei Qinghao's patience finally ran out, and he lowered his face and looked at Gu Fangling unkindly: "Did the second girl think that as long as the second girl keeps silent, the prince will have nothing to do with the second girl?"

Gu Fangling finally raised her head, and shook her head solemnly under Wei Qinghao's fierce eyes full of menace: "My daughter's status is low, and she is destined to disappoint the wrong love of the third prince."

"Wrong love? I haven't made a mistake about the person my prince is looking for. Where did Miss Gu find out that this prince is talking nicely to you? This prince is just telling Miss Gu, this prince It’s nothing more than an order. Miss Gu Er is notified in advance today, and the order will be given to Gu Hou Mansion tomorrow. Miss Gu Er thinks that if Gu Hou Mansion receives this prince’s order, it will be happy to start working for Gu Er immediately. The girl is going to prepare the dowry, or will she be grateful to Dade for coming to the third prince's mansion, and kneel down to thank the prince?" Wei Qinghao couldn't help but face Gu Fangling's face-to-face refusal.No longer using the simple "I" as a self-proclaimed name, but moving out the majesty of the prince.It was anger from embarrassment, and it was the royal's usual dominance.

She said that it was impossible for Wei Qinghao to be so gentle and hypocritical, and she really put on a mask of hypocrisy.Not at all surprised or puzzled by Wei Qinghao's sudden turn of events, Gu Fangling stood up and knelt down on the ground calmly.It's not a thank you, but an apology: "My daughter deserves to die."

damn?What a damn!Wei Qinghao prided himself on his noble status, no matter in terms of appearance or ability, he did not lose to Qin Yunran.Before today, no matter where he went, what he enjoyed was admiration and admiration.He thought that taking down Gu Fangling was just a matter of one sentence, but in fact, he encountered an iron wall.

If it wasn't Gu Fangling who rejected him, Wei Qinghao would definitely applaud Gu Fangling's fearlessness.To defy the power of the royal family and openly reject the court prince's overtures, Gu Fangling is indeed courageous enough to bear the heroism of being the granddaughter of General Wanwei.

But it was him who Gu Fangling rejected. No matter how tolerant Wei Qinghao was, he couldn't take it calmly and stay out of it.

Staring fiercely at Gu Fangling who was kneeling in front of him, Wei Qinghao clenched his hands into fists, his face was icy cold.It's not that he has to do with Gu Fangling, the position of side concubine is even more a gift to Gu Fangling.However, he was severely rejected by Gu Fangling.

It is undeniable that Gu Fangling's refusal aroused Wei Qinghao's competitive spirit.Unless Gu Fangling is completely destroyed, he will never let go!

Gu Fangling, who was kneeling on the ground, could feel the scorching gaze projected on her, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, but her eyes were rarely determined.The big deal is death.

What's more, Gu Fangling didn't believe that Wei Qinghao would take her life at such an opportunity today.The people sitting outside were not only ordinary guests, but also people from her Guhou Mansion.Not to mention, she still holds the imperial edict of Emperor Yuan, so she is not afraid that Wei Qinghao will really dare to force her.

Violating the imperial decree is a capital crime, even if Wei Qinghao is the prince, he cannot escape.

Wei Qinghao and Gu Fangling, one was sitting still, and the other was kneeling straight.The atmosphere is tense and explosive.And at this moment, a black figure suddenly jumped out of the gazebo: "I have seen His Highness the Third Prince, and Miss Gu Er."

"Presumptuous!" Wei Qinghao suddenly became angry, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at him, "Who gave you the courage to break into the gazebo at will?"

"Third Prince, forgive me." The voice of pleading guilty was respectful, but there was no fear or trembling, and he was unreasonably calm, "Report to His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness ordered the humble officer to come out to find His Highness Third Prince and return to the banquet Eat wine. I don't dare to be negligent in my humble position, so I ask His Royal Highness the Third Prince to move over."

Because it was in his own mansion, Wei Qinghao subconsciously regarded the future people as servants of his mansion.However, when he took a closer look, he realized that it was the guard next to Wei Qingmo.Moreover, it was Wei Qinghao's extremely dependent personal follower.

It depends on the owner to beat a dog. This time...it was Wei Qinghao's turn to be embarrassed.

Coughing twice uncomfortably, Wei Qinghao quickly got up and walked out of the pavilion: "The prince will go back right away. Suifeng, you also quickly clean up your appearance, and then return to the prince to report to you."

Ming Suifeng cleaned up the stains on his body before returning to the banquet, obviously because Wei Qinghao didn't want to offend Wei Qingmo.And Suifeng, as Wei Qinghao wished, did not get up immediately to follow.

Because of Suifeng's unplanned accident, Wei Qinghao couldn't even care about Gu Fangling who was kneeling on the ground.Gu Fangling, on the other hand, knelt with her head down until Wei Qinghao disappeared into the garden, and she didn't get up.

"Second Miss, please hurry up. His Royal Highness has an order. If the Second Miss doesn't want to stay, she can go back to the Marquis Mansion. The humble official will escort the Second Miss back to the mansion to ensure that the Second Miss is safe on the way. As for the little Marquis , His Royal Highness will personally explain the situation to the second girl." Suifeng is not only Wei Qingmo's subordinate, but also Wei Qingmo's personal follower.Even Wei Qinghao was slightly apprehensive, which shows how important Suifeng's position in front of Wei Qingmo is.

Today, Suifenglai was ordered to protect Gu Fangling, and the protection should have been tight.Unfortunately, the situation just now was a little more complicated, so that he was a few steps behind in his action, and he felt really guilty.Therefore, the attitude towards Gu Fangling became even more unquestionably respectful.

Hearing Wei Qingmo's clear signal, Gu Fangling was finally relieved and breathed a sigh of relief.She hadn't seen Wei Qingmo before, so she thought it was her own miscalculation.If she hadn't thought about Wei Qingmo, she wouldn't have refused to save her, nor would she have risked herself to fight Wei Qinghao to the end, leaving no room for herself to turn around.

But afterwards, even if she broke out in a cold sweat, Gu Fangling didn't regret it.Wei Qinghao was not someone she could afford to provoke, and she had no intention of having too much interaction with him.It's better to leave it to Gu Fangyao to take care of her, she won't accompany her.

"Miss!" As if a floodgate had been opened, overwhelming fear swept over, and Lan Yan, who had escaped from the restraint, ran over quickly and helped Gu Fangling up.

"No problem." Gu Fangling stood up with a pale face, her back straight.Even after going through the predicament just now, she still didn't show a flustered look of embarrassment.

Regarding Gu Fangling's departure, Gu Fangyao at this moment did not know.The only thing she knew was that Gu Fangling escaped from the banquet due to her inattentive efforts before.Taking a closer look, His Royal Highness the Third Prince was not there either.

Gu Fangyao, who was in a cold sweat from the shock, was very anxious, lest Gu Fangling would take the opportunity to do something.Thinking of the two brocade boxes that Wei Qinghao sent to Gu Hou's mansion before, Gu Fangyao gritted her teeth and stretched her neck unconsciously.

It's not that Gu Fangyao didn't think about deliberately bringing the topic to Gu Fangyao, so as to remind Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei.Helplessly, Wei Qian and Sun Wenfei were surrounded by too many high-spirited official ladies, and there was no room for her to speak when they talked freely.

Gu Fangyao knew that her status was not enough to match up with the third prince, even if she went to find her, it would be useless.Therefore, even though Gu Fangyao was sitting on pins and needles, she never acted rashly, but just looked forward to it with anxious eyes.

After a long time, Gu Fangyao finally waited for the figure of His Highness the Third Prince who made her miss her.Seeing Wei Qinghao walking to Wei Qingmo's side with a gentle smile on his face, talking back and forth, Gu Fangyao's mood could not calm down at all.

Gu Fangling didn't come back, as if she had disappeared without a trace.

"Huh? I don't seem to have seen the Second Miss of the Gu family?" At a certain moment, Wei Qian suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Gu Fangling for a while, so she asked casually.

Sun Wenfei curled her lips, but did not answer.When Gu Fangling was called away, she actually noticed it.But because that person was a servant of the third prince's mansion, she didn't make a sound to remind him.And Wei Qinghao's absence later proved her guess.

Having known the third prince for so long, it is impossible for Sun Wenfei to be completely ignorant of Wei Qinghao, the third prince's temper and temperament.Although Wei Qinghao seemed easy to talk to on the surface, in fact, he was even more difficult than Wei Qingmo.If she accidentally ruined Wei Qinghao's good deed and was hated, Sun Wenfei would not dare to bear Wei Qinghao's subsequent revenge.

Since she didn't remind her at the beginning, Sun Wenfei wouldn't stand up now.With a look of surprise on her face, Sun Wenfei shook her head, as if she didn't know anything.

"My sister has been away for a long time." Gu Fangyao, who finally found a chance to speak, naturally would not let go of this great opportunity, pretending to be casual and said, "It seems that the third prince left the table and disappeared."

"Did you disappear with Brother Sanhuang?" Wei Qian immediately raised her vigilance, turned to look at Wei Qinghao, only to find that Wei Qinghao was at the table, and there was nothing unusual on his face.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has already returned to the banquet, but it is my younger sister who has not returned yet. Fang Yao is planning to wait a little longer. If her younger sister is still missing, she will send someone to look for her. In case something unexpected happens to my younger sister, no one will know." Gu Fangyao has a worried face, perfectly playing the role of a good sister who is very worried about her safety.

But everyone here knows that the two sisters, Gu Fangyao and Gu Fangling, don't have a deep relationship.Gu Fangyao was worried about Gu Fangling?In fact, no one will really believe it.However, no one will specifically point it out.After all, it's none of your business, and no one wants to go into the muddy waters of Gu Hou's mansion.

"Is that so? Then I'll go and ask for help." Of course, Wei Qian didn't mean to look for Gu Fangling's trace.On the contrary, she wished that something would happen to Gu Fangling, and it would be best if she died in some corner where no one found it.

However, it is her third prince's mansion after all, and Wei Qian doesn't want anything bad to happen to the third prince's mansion because of Gu Fangling.

Wei Qian moved, and all the daughters of the boudoir around her expressed their opinions one after another, with worried expressions on their faces.

So far, the disappearance of Gu Fangling has attracted unprecedented attention, and also caused a small commotion in the corner of the banquet.

There was a lot of commotion on Wei Qian's side, so the masters at the male guest's table naturally noticed it soon.As the host, Wei Qinghao was the first to send someone over to inquire about the situation.

"It's Miss Guhou's second lady who disappeared." The person who asked the question didn't know that Gu Fangling had been invited out by his master, so he relayed Wei Qian's question in detail.

In this way, Wei Qinghao's complexion was wrong.

"What?" Qin Yunran turned his head in shock, subconsciously looking at Wei Qinghao.If he remembered correctly, Wei Qinghao also left the seat just now.

Being looked at with questioning eyes by his good brother, Wei Qinghao's face was slightly hot, and his eyes wandered unconsciously: "Hurry up and send someone to find out the whereabouts of the second lady."

As the guide who personally invited Gu Fangling to the garden, Hei Si nodded knowingly, and immediately turned and left.

Wei Qinghao's voice was not low, and he gave orders to his confidants.What he did was reasonable and reasonable, and there were no mistakes.But still failed to deal with everyone, including Qin Yunran who was bound to ask why.

Because Wei Qingmo had informed in advance, Gu Changlin was not worried.As a bystander, he could see the reactions of everyone present more clearly.For example, Qin Yunran's excessive nervousness, or... Wei Qinghao's guilty conscience.

Wei Qinghao was indeed guilty, but more of it was unspeakable anger.He thought that Gu Fangling would return to the banquet by himself after he left.After all, he is the prince, and there are many guests here today, Gu Fangling dare not confront him openly, let alone make a move that is out of etiquette.Who would have thought that Gu Fangling would never return, so she forcibly put his face on the ground and trampled on it.

Right now, things were clearly out of control, no matter whether Gu Fangling did it on purpose or not, Wei Qinghao's face darkened.

"I'll go and have a look." Finally, unable to sit still, Qin Yunran stood up uneasy.Before Wei Qinghao could make a sound to stop him, he hurriedly left the table.
