If it weren't for Gu Mingmou, Shen Guiye wouldn't mind wooing Qi Lang. However, who made him fall in love with the other party's fiancée
He glanced at the box in the corner again. Qi Lang's back was turned to him, which happened to block the two little girls. Her face could not be seen, and only her voice could be vaguely distinguished from the noisy voices.
In fact, his feelings for Gu Mingmou have not reached this level. To him, she is still a half-grown girl, her body has not yet grown, and there is nothing attractive about her.
It was just that the first time he heard her talk, he had the idea of meeting her. The second time in the temple, she was obviously scared to death but pretending to be strong, which inexplicably stopped him. The third time she accepted those things. The behavior behind Dongxi finally made him want to explore the other person's thoughts. For Shen Guiye, these three times of curiosity were enough for him to take action.
After all, there are not many people in the world who can interest him, and he hopes that this interest can be maintained forever.
Now that he has made a move, he will definitely not let her fall into the hands of others. The look in Qi Lang's eyes as he looked at Gu Mingmou when he went upstairs seemed very determined, but the little girl might not have the same thoughts.
Gu Mingmu, who was lowering his head to eat, felt a little cold inexplicably, as if he was being targeted by a dangerous beast. Maybe I'm too sensitive? But that feeling was getting stronger and stronger, making her feel uneasy.
Because of the uneasiness in his heart and the fact that Qi Lang was sitting opposite, Gu Mingmou couldn't taste the meal.
When they finally finished eating and were about to leave, Qi Lang looked at where Prince Heng was and found that he was no longer there.
He frowned and followed the two girls bouncing in front of him, still harboring a trace of doubt about the prince's sudden appearance. Although Prince Heng appears to be very favored, in fact the emperor may not like this prince. Moreover, this man acts unruly. If he ascends to the throne, it may not be a blessing to all people.
On the carriage back, Xiuye stared straight at the brocade box in Gu Mingmou's hand and asked, "Girl, what's in here?"
Gu Mingmou opened the box. Inside the box was a piece of beautiful jade. She curled her lips and said, "Brother Qi gave this to me today."
“So beautiful
Bright! "Xiuye exclaimed, with a dark glint in her eyes, "Since the girl is a gift from the prince, she should wear it, otherwise it would be a waste of the prince's affection for the girl. "
"That's what you said. Brother Qi should be very happy to see it." Gu Mingmou smiled and agreed with Xiuye's words.
"Of course." Xiuye secretly breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Gu Mingmou take off the piece of black jade from his neck and replace it with the white jade given by Qi Lang.
After returning home, Gu Mingmou asked Xiuye to sort out the gadgets Qi Lang gave her today, and then handed Mo Yu to Xiuyue and asked her to put them away.
When Xiuye went out, she glanced back and happened to see Xiuyue putting the ink jade on the bottom layer of the dressing box.
After she went out, Xiuyue took back the jade and handed it to Gu Mingmou's hand.
"How did things go?"
"Everything went well. I sent people to find the shopkeeper of Dian Cuige. The shopkeeper said that it is not difficult to find black jade, but it is a bit difficult to find the same one. If you really want it, you can only dye it and make it fake, but the dyeing technology is very complicated. , is a unique craft that no one else can do.”
Gu Mingmou chuckled, "As long as he can make it, I'll give him any amount of money."
"The slave said the same thing. The shopkeeper said that you can go get the things in half a month."
"Is the person you're looking for a strict mouth?"
"I am my former neighbor. I am a very responsible person. I originally lived in the south and came here to visit my relatives. Unexpectedly, my relatives left a few years ago. They plan to go back after a while and will never come to Beijing again. I am secretly here." When I met her, the servant only said that he broke the lady’s jade pendant and wanted to make an exact replica of it in order not to be punished.”
Gu Mingmou nodded, "Pay close attention to her during these days. After grandma's birthday, this scene will be staged."
"I obey the girl's instructions."
A few days after Gu Mingmou came back from Yongning Hou's Mansion, Mrs. Xue also received a message from Mrs. Hou. Although Mrs. Gu did not want Mrs. Xue to go out, she did not dare to offend Mrs. Hou, so she reluctantly let her go. people.
As a result, within a few days after that, gossip about the Gu family spread outside. It turned out that the mistress of the Gu family was not seriously ill as the Gu family claimed, and she looked very good. Since you are not sick, how can you take care of your family
Are you going to let an aunt take control next time? It’s not just that Mr. Gu dotes on his concubine and destroys his wife, and even cares for his aunt, he doesn’t even care about his wife’s face.
This gossip reached the ears of Mrs. Gu within a few days. Mrs. Gu was so angry that she almost jumped up and spread the word without saying a word that she wanted to punish Mrs. Xue, saying that she had ruined the reputation of the Gu family.
This time, Mrs. Xue did not confront her. She said she was punished by kneeling in the ancestral hall for a whole day and night. By the time Gu Yong got the letter and rushed over, he was already unconscious and his legs were swollen.
Doctors invited from outside came and went, but never gave an accurate answer. Gu Yong stood in the small hall outside and paced back and forth, unable to explain how he felt.
On the one hand, he has a loving mother who has raised him since he was a child, and on the other hand, he has a wife who has been cold to him for more than ten years. No matter where she is, he is unwilling to hurt her. I thought that Zilan would no longer care about the family, and the entanglement between her mother and wife would fade away. Who would have thought that things would develop to this point
Zilan's temper is still so stubborn. Her mother just said some angry words, how could she take it seriously
As for the rumors outside, it was not that he had not heard it. From Zilan to Yongninghou Mansion, he could guess that it was Mrs. Yongninghou who spread the news. Zilan would definitely not do such a thing. If she really wanted to He insisted on controlling the Gu family and would not have handed over his power to Aunt Ning in the first place.
Gu Yong thought a lot for a while, and Gu Mingmou sat quietly aside, looking at his father's anxious face, lowering his eyes and saying nothing.
After a long time, the doctor came out. Gu Yong hurried forward and asked anxiously, "Doctor, how is my wife?"
The old doctor looked at Gu Yong for a while and then said, "My lady is weak due to the cold and needs to rest for a while. Moreover, her knee is seriously injured and she needs to be taken care of, otherwise her leg will become useless. I I have been prescribed medicine, and as long as I take it on time and rest, I will definitely recover.”
After finishing speaking, the doctor ignored Gu Yong and walked away carrying the medical box. The mistress of such a wealthy family is really not a person to be. It is a pity for that woman to be like this after being taught by her mother-in-law. The old doctor shook his head and sighed in his heart.
After the doctor finished speaking, Gu Yong entered the bedroom. He had not stepped into this room for many years, and nothing seemed to have changed. Looking at the person lying quietly on the bed with his eyes closed, he suddenly felt timid and did not dare to take another half step forward.
