Rebirth: Return to Houfu

Chapter 65

"What's okay? That's the third prince! Mother, have you forgotten that the third prince specially sent someone to send two brocade boxes to Gu Fangling a few years ago? It's not like you didn't see what was in the brocade box. How can you treat it carelessly?" Thinking of Wei Qinghao's different treatment of Gu Fangling, Gu Fangyao couldn't help but want to get angry.The calmness that he was usually proud of was gone, and his heart and eyes were full of indescribable irritability.

"Okay, okay, mother is such a foolish person? Mother has been thinking about the matter of the third prince! But isn't this powerless?" Chen Ziyun pursed his lips, and was inexplicably a little annoyed by Gu Fangyao's anger, " Your love for the third prince has been seen by my mother from the very beginning. But what can I do if I see it? The third prince is a prince, and my mother is at best an ordinary minister's wife, and a minister's wife who has no real power. You How can you make mother decide for you? Even if mother risked her life, she wouldn't be able to move a single finger of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, right?"

"Mother! Where did you start? Have I ever asked you to touch the third prince's finger?" Gu Fangyao was really unhappy when Chen Ziyun directly punctured her heart.It doesn't matter that Chen Ziyun was just making an analogy, and then he got annoyed, "I have feelings for the third prince, that's my own business. I am lucky to be single, and I don't dare to think about it, and I don't want to do it. Otherwise, you just wanted to let me If I marry into the prime minister's mansion, even if I force him to die, I will definitely not agree."

Seeing that Chen Ziyun was about to speak again, Gu Fangyao sighed lightly, with a bit of sadness on her face: "Didn't I also listen to my mother's flower and accept my fate? The reason why I am so angry today is simply because I can't understand Gu Fangling's repeated actions. Nacho takes herself too seriously. I..."

"Okay, okay, it's my mother who said the wrong thing, and my mother apologizes to you." Hearing Gu Fangyao's angry shouting turned into a sad whisper, Chen Ziyun also came back to his senses, and quickly comforted him in a warm voice, "Mother was also killed by the second girl." I got angry when I acted, and it wasn't directed at you."

Gu Fangyao gave a low "um", but didn't say anything more.Except for her mother, she can't rely on anyone else in Guhou's mansion, nor can she rely on them.If even her mother doesn't help her with all her heart, she will really accept her fate.

"Right now, everything else is trivial. We have to help your cousin get a firm foothold in Guhou's mansion first. Only in this way can we help more people. If something happens in the future, there will be someone to help, so we won't be afraid of being alone and helpless. Yaoer, are you okay? Hearing what your grandmother said today, the humiliating mother who didn't mention her name and surname didn't have any self-knowledge. The mother was also in a hurry, so the tone just now was a little more serious..." Chen Ziyun changed the subject and began to think seriously. own mistakes.Impulse is taboo, let alone losing your mind.Otherwise, she will only make more mistakes, one step wrong, and a lifetime of mistakes.

"I know." Although Gu Fangyao's face was still unhappy, she slowly calmed down her irritability and anger, and said in a cold voice, "Gu Fangling definitely did it on purpose. She climbed the high branch of the third prince, so naturally she can't look down on her appearance." Bro."

"I don't think so. Some people are blessed to climb high branches, but they must also have their lives to enjoy them, right?" Chen Ziyun darkened his face and said with hatred.

Hearing the implication of Chen Ziyun's words, Gu Fangyao raised the corner of her mouth and nodded solemnly at Chen Ziyun.

Gu Fangling found that, after a few months, Gu Chang'an began to frequently run to her yard again.Originally still wondering what happened, Gu Chang'an revealed the reason himself.

"Second sister, I'm really sorry. I'll apologize to you on behalf of my mother. As for my cousin, it's fine for the second sister to ignore it. If he bothers the second sister again, I won't stand idly by. Throw him out of the door." Gu Changan waved his fist, and assured Gu Fangling seriously.

No matter how good the cousin is, if the second sister doesn't like it, she just doesn't like it. How can mother force the second sister to get along with her cousin?Gu Changan disagreed and did not approve.No matter how Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao persuaded him, he would not agree.

In this way, Gu Fangling didn't know what to say.She has no resentment towards Gu Changan, but it is impossible for her to get really close.There was a gap called "Chen Ziyun" and "Gu Fangyao" between them. She couldn't cross it, and neither could Gu Changan.

Compared to Gu Changan's active defense, Chen Junbao's situation is inevitably particularly embarrassing.As Su said, he was originally dependent on others, and he was able to live in Gu Hou's mansion because of his status as Mrs. Hou's nephew.Now the whole Gu Hou Mansion is spreading rumors that he has misbehavior towards Gu Fangling, and his attitude towards him has naturally become distasteful.

Chen Junbao once heard Chen Ziyun and Gu Fangyao analyze the situation in Gu Hou's mansion, and logically said that Gu Fangling should not have such an important position.Didn't it mean that Gu Fangling was just a decoration in Guhou's mansion?Are servants who receive a little more attention than Gu Fangling more talkative?Otherwise, Gu Fangling wouldn't have been exiled to Licheng at a young age, and almost died in Yecheng.

That's right, Chen Junbao was told by his elders about Yecheng the day before he got up to come to Yancheng.After figuring out that Gu Fangling's reputation in Guhou's mansion was just empty, he would be so reckless and bold, not to take Gu Fangling's repulsion and rejection into his eyes.

However, the facts in front of him were not as simple and easy to understand as Chen Junbao imagined, and he fell into a dilemma.

It was indeed isolated and helpless, because of Su's reprimand, Chen Ziyun was not able to please him.In handling this matter, she inevitably became cautious, and even begged in front of Master Gu.

But this time, Chen Ziyun's plan was doomed to fail.After Gu Houye returned to the mansion and heard about this incident, his feelings towards Chen Junbao plummeted in an instant, and his words were filled with dissatisfaction.If it wasn't for Chen Ziyun's begging, he would definitely drive Chen Junbao out of Guhou's mansion.Anyway, Gu Fangling is also his own daughter, how could she allow others to bully her in Guhou's mansion?

What's more, Gu Houye has gotten some rumors recently, and he values ​​Gu Fangling even more.In comparison, Chen Junbao's status is as low as dust, completely out of the sight of Lord Gu.

"Master Hou, didn't you hear it wrong? How could the third prince intend to marry the second girl, this..." Chen Ziyun's heart began to bleed, but there was always a smile on his face.She didn't believe that the third prince would really be interested in Gu Fangling, it was absolutely impossible!There must be a mistake somewhere, or Gu Houye is trying to plot against the third prince by looking out for Gu Fangling's future on his own.

"How can you hear me wrong about this kind of thing? The third prince has already come to me on his own initiative, do you think there is still something wrong?" Although the third prince did not speak out to propose marriage, he personally asked Gu Houfu about the marriage arrangements for the second girl... ...Gu Hou Ye has been an official all his life, how could he not be able to hear the mystery?
"Then... that shouldn't be the second girl! Seniors are orderly, and the eldest girl's marriage has not yet been settled, wouldn't it be ridiculous to talk about the second girl's marriage?" Reluctantly suppressing the reluctance in his heart, Chen Ziyun Soft color replied.Even if we want to talk, we should put Yao'er's marriage first, shouldn't we?
"It's not our turn to choose this matter." Master Gu waved his hand and said casually, "If you want to talk about marriage, it's okay to make an appointment as soon as possible. Don't you always say that the nephew of the Chen family is very good? Good place to stay."

Chen Ziyun choked, never thought that one day such a thing as lifting a rock and hitting her foot would happen to her.That's right, she did think Chen Junbao was good, but she was only able to match Gu Fangling!If it was her Yao'er, Chen Ziyun would definitely not agree.

What are you kidding?Her family Yao'er is the eldest daughter of the Guhou Mansion, how could the important events of her life be so hasty?No matter how good Jun Bao is, no matter how good he is, he is not a good match for Yaoer...

Lord Gu Hou didn't really intend to betroth Gu Fangyao to Chen Junbao.It's just because at this moment, all he thinks about is the marriage between Gu Fangling and Wei Qinghao, so it's inevitable that he doesn't care so much about other people and things.

Coming out of Master Gu, Chen Ziyun held back his words, but dared not confide easily.I'm afraid that Gu Houye's words are right, and he really betrothed Gu Fangyao to Chen Junbao.If this is the case, even if she hits the wall to seek death, the gain will not be worth the loss.

"Daddy really said that?" Gu Fangyao's entire face turned pale, and she looked at Chen Ziyun in disbelief.How could it be her and her cousin?It should be Gu Fangling and her cousin!

"Mother doesn't want to believe it, but your father really said it himself." Chen Ziyun sighed, shook his head and said helplessly, "Yaoer, we are too passive now. If things go on like this, I'm afraid..."

"There is no chance!" Gu Fangyao said the four words firmly, and Gu Fangyao's eyes flashed fiercely, "Gu Fangling must marry my cousin, and my cousin must also marry Gu Fangling to pass the family!"

Chen Ziyun opened his mouth, but he was speechless.Now it's not a question of whether they want it or not, but the situation forces them to refuse to agree!
Chen Ziyun seemed to have lost his mind, but Gu Fangyao was not.If she is really forced into a desperate situation, she will not submit obediently.Thinking like this, Gu Fangyao's thoughts floated in her heart, and a faint dark light flashed in her eyes.

Hearing that Gu Fangyao asked her to go over to discuss something, Gu Fangling was really surprised.She didn't think that her relationship with Gu Fangyao was good enough to chat with each other, Gu Fangyao must have other plans!

However, if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get tiger cubs?Living under the same big roof in Guhou Mansion, it is not advisable to only defend but not attack.Should go or have to go, only in this way will not fall into passive calculation every time and lose the initiative.

After specially ordering someone to deliver a message to Gu Changlin, Gu Fangling Shi Shiran went to Gu Fangyao's yard with blue smoke.

"Sister is here. Coincidentally, my cousin is here too. Let's sit down together and explain all the previous misunderstandings." Seeing Gu Fangling appear, Gu Fangyao, who had been waiting for a long time, directly grabbed Gu Fangling's body wrist.After that, he dragged Gu Fangling into the back room.

Sure enough, he was waiting for her here.Seeing that Chen Junbao was also sitting in the room, Gu Fangling did not get angry, but pursed her lips and smiled: "My sister and Mr. Chen have an appointment, why did you call my sister too? If I disturb my sister and Mr. Chen's pleasure of being alone, it will cause trouble. The unhappiness between my sister and Mr. Chen, isn't it my sister's fault?"

Gu Fangyao's face froze, she didn't expect Gu Fangling to know about it.It was obviously just a private chat between her parents, how could Gu Fangling listen to it?Could it be that Gu Fangling also planted eyeliner in the mansion?

Thinking of this possibility, Gu Fangyao couldn't help but start to doubt the servants around her.It doesn't matter if the servants in the outer courtyard are bribed, since they can't touch her body anyway, but if even the maids in her room are bewitched by Gu Fangling... Gu Fangyao glanced at all the servants in the room, guessing who Most likely the one who betrayed her.

After Gu Fangyao was in such a trance, Gu Fangling broke free.Completely ignoring the ugly faces of Gu Fangyao and Chen Junbao, she made a gesture to turn around and leave: "Sister and Mr. Chen chat slowly, and my sister will not get in the way here."

"Second Miss, wait a moment." Before Gu Fangyao could stop her, Chen Junbao had already walked a few steps to block the door.However, compared to the previous few meetings, his attitude is much more polite, "The student has a few words that he wants to explain to the second girl in person, and I hope the second girl will listen to it."

Today's Chen Junbao has obviously learned to be smart, and he can't fault his etiquette.He didn't call himself "cousin" any more, and he broke up with Gu Fangling on his own.
