Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 461
Now she just gave them back all the pain they had put on her.

After eating and drinking enough, Lu Yingying also got a promise from Gu Yanxi that she could get a high-quality long whip, and left contentedly.

However, after she had just left Gu's residence and got into the carriage, the originally bright smile on her face was a bit more thoughtful.

The maid Qiaoshu is the one who can read Lu Yingying's mind best. When she saw this expression on her face, she knew that the girl had something on her mind: "Girl, is there something wrong? Or is it that the girl just said yes?" The third girl of the Gu family, do you have other thoughts in your mind?"

Lu Yingying waved her hand, leaned casually on the soft cushion behind her, followed the movement of the carriage and said: "I have a good relationship with Jiaojiao, since I promised her that I will help her in this matter, I will Do your best; but based on what I know about Jiaojiao, she is not such a nosy person."

Qiaoshu stood in a different position and said: "I don't think so, but I think that the third girl of the Gu family is very enthusiastic; for example, last year's snow sea feast, if she hadn't been vigilant, I'm afraid all of us at this time People are still being deceived by the brothers and sisters of the Li family. As for Miss Tang, her reputation may have been ruined long ago. Therefore, in the eyes of the slaves, the third girl of the Gu family is very warm and kind. She always reveals a maturity and stability that doesn't match her age."

Hearing what Qiaoshu said, it reminded Lu Yingying of this matter, but when she thought about it again, her expression became a little strange: "Really? Qiaoshu, you also think that Jiaojiao's helping Tang Xin at the Xuehai feast was just Enthusiasm and little effort?"

Qiaoshu wondered: "Isn't it?"

Lu Yingying snorted and said, "Of course not. If I had heard you mention this matter before yesterday, I might have stood by your side, thinking that Jiaojiao's actions were really random; but After hearing what my father said to me yesterday, and thinking about everything that happened at the Snow Sea Feast, things are not that simple."

Yesterday the master called the fourth girl into the study and talked for a long time. Even Qiao Shu was not allowed to go in and disturb her without authorization, so even as Lu Yingying's personal girl, she didn't know what happened in the study.

Lu Yingying squinted her eyes, looked ahead and said: "Father told me that in the Shoukang Palace the night before yesterday, Gu Yanchao refused the emperor's marriage offer in front of the emperor, and said bluntly that he already had someone he liked. They all know each other, and that is Tang Xin, the daughter of the Tang family."

Qiaoshu's eyes widened suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "So many things happened the night before, Commander Gu was really daring, and he dared to refuse the marriage in front of the emperor, you must know that it was Princess Huayi's. Marriage, how many people are looking forward to getting this palm eye, but he still refuses?"

Lu Yingying sneered, and said: "If this matter was placed on my head, I would also refuse; Princess Huayi is the emperor's favorite jewel, but after what happened the night before, she is still not the emperor's favorite." It’s hard to say about the beloved daughter; what’s more, what Concubine Chang Gui said to Jiaojiao, how can Gu Yanchao endure it? How can he forgive it? So it’s no surprise that Gu Yanchao refused the marriage. If he didn’t refuse, it would be a surprise , just like a spineless coward."

Qiao Shu nodded in agreement, and said: "Young lady's words are very reasonable. Yes, the second son and third girl of the Gu family are siblings of the same mother, and they have a very strong brother-sister relationship since childhood; I was really too dazed to think of the third girl of the Gu family; after the deeds were exposed, I would be ruined, and I would also implicate Princess Huayi, so I don't know if she will regret her decision that day."

At this point, Qiaoshu paused for a while, glanced at Lu Yingying, and said, "The servant girl finally understands why the girl said that the third girl helped Miss Tang at the Snow Sea feast. It was not an unintentional act. It is exactly Because the third girl helped Miss Tang to keep her reputation and innocence at the Snow Sea Feast, that's why the second son of Gu's family refused the emperor's marriage today. From this point of view, everything that happened there is really inseparable. It's just that Girl, this servant can't figure it out, these three girls don't have the ability to predict the future, how could she know that her own brother will fall in love with Tang Xin in the future? That's why she helped out at the feast?!"

The doubt that Qiaoshu uttered was exactly what Lu Yingying couldn't figure out right now. She squinted her eyes and muttered: "Could it be that she knew her elder brother's intentions early in the morning, so she secretly paid attention to helping Tang? Xin?"

Qiaoshu said: "Miss means that the second son of the Gu family had a special affection for Miss Tang early in the morning, this friendship was known by Gu Yanxi, and only then did the piles and incidents of the Xuehai feast happen. ?!"

Lu Yingying said: "After much deliberation, I only think that this possibility is feasible. As you said, Jiaojiao doesn't have the ability to predict the future, so she naturally doesn't know that her brother will fall in love with Tang Xin in the future. So the only possibility It's just that Gu Yanchao has fallen in love with Tang Xin a long time ago, but Gu Yanchao and the Gu family have kept this matter a secret, so the outside world doesn't know about it."

Qiaoshu has already fully believed in this possibility, and saw that the little girl held her face in both hands, with a charming appearance of a young girl Huaichun, her eyes were watery and said: "I am really envious of Miss Tang. People are not only born beautiful, but also look like a girl. A man as outstanding as Commander Gu secretly promised her his sincerity; girl, do you think Miss Tang’s life is a little too good, if other noble ladies in Beijing know that the second son of the Gu family they miss day and night secretly admire him? Looking at the girl from the Tang family, how many people would have to wipe their tears secretly, and how many people would have to be jealous and envious of Miss Tang."

Seeing Qiaoshu like this, Lu Yingying smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up: "Tang Xin is indeed a lucky person. Since she was a child, there are always many people around her who protect her and love her, that's why her character has been raised very well. Pure and clean, but it is precisely because of this that she lost the ability to distinguish people, mistakenly treated a despicable villain like Li Rou as a real good sister, and was almost framed, causing a lifetime of regret."

Qiaoshu agreed: "That's right, what happened to Miss Tang at the Xuehai Feast really made people sweat for her. Miss, this servant is thinking, is it because the second son of the Gu family likes Miss Tang? Miss Tang's character, you must know that the third girl is also a charming and charming person. In some respects, Miss Tang and the third girl are somewhat similar. The second son is a good brother who loves his sister. Everyone in the capital knows it, maybe the Second Young Master likes this kind of clean and thorough person, so he gives Miss Tang a high opinion."
