The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 88 He Was Scared

Gu Changgeng looked at Lin Qingqian, but still didn't say a word.

After a while, he suddenly looked back, stood up, and said calmly: "I'm afraid you were shocked today, so go to rest early, and I will come see you tomorrow."

Seeing the tall figure disappearing at the door, Lin Qingqian was stunned, unable to react for a while.

So the reason why Gu Changgeng's hands trembled at that time was it was too cold or was he afraid?
Qiudong sent Gu Changgeng outside the courtyard gate, he took two steps, suddenly remembered something, stopped and walked back.

Qiu Dong looked at him puzzled, "Young Master Gu, is there anything else?"

Gu Changgeng said "Mm", and said: "Today Qingqian fell into the pond in the Hou's mansion and was frightened. I'm afraid she will catch a cold too. Pay more attention to her at night, be careful that she will catch wind, cold and fever."

Qiudong was surprised, he never expected that Gu Changgeng was so indifferent on the surface, and his thoughts were so delicate.

"Mr. Gu, please rest assured, the servant will."

Only then did Gu Changgeng return to Liyuan in peace of mind, and entered the study room. He stood tall in front of the window, his eyes drooping slightly, and Lin Qingqian's words came to mind just now.

He clenched his hands.

He was afraid at the time, afraid that he finally had a loved one who was good to him, and then lost it.

……

Jinglan Court.

The old lady sat upright with a gloomy face, silently looking at Lin Qingwu and Lin Qingrou.

Xu hesitated for a moment, then said softly: "Mother, you called Qingwu and Qingrou over, but do you have something to tell them?"

The old lady said coldly: "I asked them to come, did I have something to tell them? Shouldn't they have something to tell me!"

"This……"

Why can't Mrs. Xu understand, the old lady wants the two of them to explain clearly what happened in Pingyang Houfu today.

Lin Qingrou felt dissatisfied, suppressed her reluctance, and said, "Grandmother, everything that happened in the Hou Mansion today is exactly as the eldest sister said, and we never thought that Jia Liu'er would leave for a while and then push the third sister into the lotus pond. So it proves that she was with us before."

As soon as the words fell, the old lady slapped the desk heavily, and said angrily: "Qing Rou! If I really can't see anything, wouldn't I live to this age in vain, let alone you testifying for Jia Liuer, Who told Jia Liuer about Shen Shizi's frequent visits to the prime minister's residence?"

Lin Qingrou bit her lip, tightly clenched her sleeves, and dared not say a word.

The old lady said sharply again: "I ask you, who said this?!"

After a while, Lin Qingwu said: "Grandmother, although the fourth sister said this, she also told Ms. Jia that the rumors spread by servants in this mansion are not credible, but Ms. Jia just listened to it."

"Hmph, don't make family affairs public, Qingrou, you're really good at it, and you even add fuel and vinegar to the outside world." The old lady glanced at Lin Qingwu, who was about to explain for Lin Qingrou, and said: "She said it, she's sure, Jia Liuer will definitely Are you listening?"

"Grandmother, you clearly favor Third Sister, what has this to do with us, you..."

With a clear and crisp applause, Lin Qingrou stopped talking abruptly, covered her painful face, and looked at the old lady with red eyes.

The old lady said furiously: "Qingrou, you have targeted Qingqian again and again, that's all, now you can't even listen to what grandma says, you've fallen on deaf ears, haven't you!"

"Mother, calm down, Qingrou should be in a hurry, that's not what she meant."

The old lady pushed away Xu Shi who was supporting her, and said: "Qing Rou, I am so disappointed in you, you go to the Buddhist hall to kneel for one night, and stay in your courtyard well in the future, if you don't wake up, you will stay in your courtyard all the time." Stay here and don't come out!"

With tears in her eyes, Lin Qingrou gritted her teeth, turned and ran away holding back her resentment.

The old lady was so angry that her head was dizzy, Mrs. Xu quickly helped her to sit down, Lin Qingwu poured a cup of tea, "Grandmother, don't worry, drink a cup of tea first."

The old lady waved her hands, supported her forehead, sighed softly after a while, and said: "Qingwu, you too, you don't know how to stop Qingrou from saying such things to Jia Liuer."

Although Lin Qingwu was dissatisfied in his heart, he pretended to be very guilty on the surface.

She lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "What grandma taught me is that it's all Qing Wu's fault."

The old lady sighed softly, and said earnestly: "Qingwu, you are married to the third prince, and you are going to become the prince's concubine. What is the most taboo thing in the royal family? Do you know? It's just that you don't know the etiquette, which will damage the reputation of the royal family."

"If today's incident is reported to the emperor and queen mother, saying that you are helping outsiders to squeeze out your own sister, will the emperor question your character? How will outsiders view our prime minister's mansion, have you ever thought about it?"

Lin Qingwu didn't think of this, and now hearing what the old lady said, her face turned pale.

Xu frowned and looked at Lin Qingwu, telling her to pay attention to her words and deeds, why didn't she listen?

Lin Qingwu panicked, and said, "Grandmother, mother, now I, I..."

"Fortunately, I was in the Marquis of Pingyang today, with a little understanding of the general situation, and my words helped you get back together. Grandma left you to say these words today, because I want you to remember that you will become a member of the royal family in the future, and you need to be cautious in your words and deeds in the future. .”

"Thank you grandma, Qingwu will remember."

The old lady looked at Mrs. Xu, and said: "On weekdays, you also teach Qingwu more. If you can't do it, please invite a teacher to come."

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter-in-law knows."

The old lady said with a tired expression: "Well, it's getting late, and I'm tired too, you all go back."

"Yes, grandmother."

After leaving Jinglanyuan, Mrs. Xu taught Lin Qingwu a few more words before letting her go back. She looked in the direction of Liuyuan, her eyes narrowed slightly, and a glint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

In recent days, every time Lin Qingwu was at a disadvantage in matters related to Lin Qingqian, was it a coincidence, or did she underestimate Lin Qingqian?
……

Early the next morning.

Shen Fei was worried about Lin Qingqian, so he came to the prime minister's mansion early in the morning, and as always, went to Liyuan first to look for Gu Changgeng.

"Chang Geng, after Qing Qian came back yesterday, how was it? Is there anything wrong?"

Gu Changgeng glanced at Shen Fei, for some reason, Shen Fei felt that his eyes were a bit cold today.

"The son of Lao Shen remembers it, it's clear and simple."

Shen Fei didn't think much about it, and took a long breath, "Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with Qingqian, since that's the case, I'll send someone to let her come over."

Just about to order Suifeng, Gu Changgeng said, "Wait."

"Huh?" Shen Fei asked with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"

"I have something to tell Shen Shizi."

"Can't we talk about it when Qingqian comes over?"

"I think what Shizi Wushen said is about innocence."

Shen Fei didn't understand, so he sat down, "Okay, let's talk, what's wrong with Qingqian? But what's the matter with her?"

Gu Changgeng looked coldly, looked at Shen Fei, and said: "Shen Shizi, Qingqian agreed to teach you painting in order to thank you for saving your life that day. Originally, this matter was reasonable, but Qingqian is a woman and you are a man. Although she is not as good as Ji, there is a difference between men and women after all, and if she has too much contact, it is inevitable that gossip will spread, which will damage the reputation of Qingqian."

"Third Miss and I are open and frank, and we are not afraid of the shadow slanting, why should we be afraid of others' gossip!"

Gu Changgeng pursed his thin lips, and said: "Qingqian is a woman, no more than Shen Shizi, reputation is very important to women."
