Liu Shichu ignored Gu Qiang, turned to the gentle person in her arms and said, "Ru'er, don't leave today, stay here, you are already soaked."
But Mrs. Ru'er shook her head firmly, got down from Liu Shichu's arms, and said to him: "You know I can't be here. In order to prevent fewer people from catching you, we must be careful. Besides, your wife is right I'm full of hostility. If I stay here, I don't know what will happen, so I'll go with this girl."
After saying that, she reached out to take Gu Qiang's hand. Ru'er's hand was very cold, and there was still water on it. It was very uncomfortable, but she did not let go of Ru'er's hand, and even held it tightly. .
Liu Shichu was a little worried, but luckily she didn't say anything, so Ru'er led Gu Qiang to the back door with the two maids.
It was already extremely dark at this time, but he could barely see the road clearly. After taking two steps, Ru'er turned to look at Gu Qiang and asked softly: "Why did you take such a big risk to come in?" What?"
Ru'er doesn't believe that a woman can do this for the sake of the people of the world. This is not great, but stupid.
"No matter what the reason is, at least it's not a bad thing, right?" Gu Qiang smiled. Although it seemed to be a great thing, in fact, there was her selfishness inside. She covered her selfishness with greatness. The signs do not conflict.
Ru'er is no longer a young girl in love. Naturally, she knows that everyone in the capital has their own goals and ulterior secrets. No one will reveal their goals casually.
After taking two steps, Ru'er suddenly turned around and looked at Gu Qiang seriously. He hesitated for a moment, but still insisted on asking: "Girl, do you think I am shameless?"
It is indeed very shameless for a woman who already has a husband to be entangled with someone else's husband, but no matter who it is, there is a reason for it, and she is not qualified to say whether Miss Ru'er doesn't want her. Face.
So Gu Qiang shook her head and said to Ru'er: "Madam, we just met by chance. I am not qualified to judge your life. Don't worry, I won't look down on you."
Since Ruer herself thinks that others will see her this way, why would she do that? Even though you knew it was wrong and something that everyone reviled, you still did it, right
Ru'er breathed a sigh of relief and was very pleased, and said to Gu Qiang: "Many people don't understand that I already have a husband but I still want to be entangled with Shih Hung. You are the only one who has not exposed me to my face. You She really has the temperament of a young lady, completely different from those vulgar fans."
Then Ru'er reached out and took Gu Qiang's hand, walked outside with her, and said to her: "Since we met and you saved my life, you will be my benefactor from now on, even though I don't know you Do you like me to be my friend? But if you need my help in any way, just go to the General’s Mansion to find me.”
After saying this, Ru'er took a hairpin from her head and handed it to Gu Qiang, and then said: "Keep this thing well. I can't help with many things, but I will try my best. See you later."
After saying that, Ru'er waved to Gu Qiang and left quickly with her maid, leaving her standing at the door. In a daze, someone next to her patted her on the shoulder and whispered: " Miss, you can do it. You were sneaky when you went in, but now you can come out of the back door openly? By the way, the woman who came out with you just now has a delicate appearance. Is she the young lady from the Liu family? "
Gu Qiang turned her head and saw the candy figure Gu Suliang had gotten from nowhere, standing in front of her with a casual look on her face.
"That young lady is not from the Liu family. We should go back." Gu Qiang said slowly. No matter what, at least she succeeded.
Back in the yard, Gu Qiang entered through the side door, followed by Gu Suliang. After the two people walked past one after another, the shadows of two people appeared from the door.
Gu Zhihua turned around and lowered his voice and asked: "Mother, I have already inquired about it. It is said that Gu Qiang also went to the Liu family with the Ninth Prince last time. There must be some key point in the Liu family. Should we send someone to investigate? ?”
Ye turned her head and looked at Gu Zhihua with admiration, and lowered her voice and said: "My precious daughter seems to be a little smarter now, much better than before. I will do as you say and investigate carefully. If Gu Zhihua is What did that bitch do behind our backs? We must make her look good!"
Under the moonlight above the willow branches, Gu Zhihua rubbed his hands, then took Ye's arm, and the two of them returned to the yard one after another.
The next morning, when Gu Qiang woke up, it was already bright. After Tingfeng prepared clothes for her, he stood awkwardly in the room and looked at her.
After Gu Qiang washed her face, she turned to look at Tingfeng strangely. This girl had always been very calm and would not put anything on her face, but she had that expression today.
So Gu Qiang put down the hairpin helplessly, turned around and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Tingfeng nodded and said to Gu Qiang: "You may not believe it. Just today, the third prince came to our house, and it was early in the morning."
Shen Zhongbai? If that man comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion, there will definitely be no peace today.
Tingfeng continued with difficulty: "The Third Prince is going to have dinner at home today at noon, and you, Miss, will also go there."
After Gu Qiang heard this, she sighed in her heart. She had tried her best to act stupid in front of Shen Zhongbai before, but she still didn't hide away.
Before Gu Qiang could say anything, Chui Xue ran in and shouted nervously and excitedly: "Miss, the Third Prince wants you to come over."
Chui Xue's expression was very surprised, and she even felt like she was about to be lucky. You must know that in the Gu family, the eldest daughter Gu Qiang and the second daughter Gu Zhihua both had fairly acceptable statuses. Although Gu Zhihua was a concubine, they had no choice but to His mother is still alive and well in this world and is Gu Zhihua's shelter from the wind and rain, so he is even more lucky.
Gu Qiang has always been the one who has been suppressed. If there is a good man, it is Ye who helps Gu Zhihua fight for it first, and nothing will happen to her.
Now that the third prince took the initiative to meet Gu Qiang, Chui Xue felt that spring was really coming for his young lady. She was a little disbelieving but also a little happy at the same time.
Gu Qiang stretched out her hand to hold her forehead and looked in the mirror. This time she went there not to give the Third Prince face, but because she had to show up. This is etiquette.
Gu Qiang in the mirror had a pair of smart eyes, and her face was clean and delicate without makeup. She said to Tingfeng: "Let's go."
Tingfeng was stunned. This girl was smart enough to know that the young lady did not like the third prince as much as the outside world saw. This meeting with him might not be the result she wanted.
The two people arrived at the back garden and found that many people were already sitting there. Shen Zhongbai and Prime Minister Gu were sitting on one side drinking tea and talking. Ye Shi and Gu Zhihua were sitting next to each other and whispered to each other. It was as if Gu Zhihua's eyes were on Shen Zhongbai's body, looking at him all the time.
Gu Qiang went over to greet Shen Zhongbai and Prime Minister Gu slowly. Prime Minister Gu had been very kind to her recently. He nodded and said to Shen Zhongbai: "Third Prince, this is my incompetent eldest daughter, my late daughter." Lady’s child.”
When she said this, Ye's face suddenly dropped, as if she heard something that made her uncomfortable. Why is this man still discussing that dead bitch
But because the third prince was here, Ye's inner anger had to be suppressed.
The third prince's eyes wandered over Gu Qiang's body, and then he showed a charming and charming smile and said to her: "Qian'er, long time no see..."
Prime Minister Gu opened his mouth in surprise. He didn't expect that Gu Qiang and the third prince were acquaintances. Has he been away for too long? How come she has become so familiar with the nobles in the capital in the past two days
Although it was strange in his heart, the smile on Prime Minister Gu's face could no longer be stopped from leaking out.
He asked very carefully: "It seems that the third prince knows my little daughter."
Shen Zhongbai waved his fan, with a proud smile on his face, looking at Gu Qiang with a self-evident expression.
Is there something wrong with this man? Why do you have to act so familiar with yourself in front of your father? Are you familiar with it? Gu Qiang did so many things to hurt Shen Zhongbai before, just hoping that he would not fall in love with her.
Of course, Shen Zhongbai didn't really fall in love with him, he was just using himself. No matter what mood he was in now, he would end up with the same destination in the end.
"More than just acquaintance? Qian'er once saved my life. Today, the Japanese prince came here just to see her." Shen Zhongbai said while looking at Gu Qiang.
Gu Qiang turned her head away with a cold face, but she happened to see Gu Zhihua looking at her with gritted teeth. His fingernails scratched on the tea cup and made a thin sound. The dark green agate ring on it was shaking her in the sun. s eyes.
She almost forgot that Gu Zhihua was deeply in love with Shen Zhongbai. When he showed up today, she naturally had to show off. But she didn't expect that Shen Zhongbai had been talking to Gu Qiang and showed off in front of Prime Minister Gu. It was a very familiar feeling, how could she accept it
In Gu Zhihua's view, any woman who talks too much to Shen Zhongbai is like a needle pricking her heart, and she cannot tolerate it for a moment.
Gu Qiang picked up the teacup, smiled and said without changing her face: "Qian'er welcomes the third prince. If the third prince is free, you might as well let Qian'er take him around the mansion and see the scenery in the mansion." He was obviously enthusiastic. words, but forcefully expressed the feeling of alienation.
