Qi Lang learned from Xiuye that she had redeemed her life long ago and thought she could live a good life when she returned home. However, within a few days of the good life, her father died suddenly. Her eldest brother and sister-in-law immediately turned against her and took her away. Not to mention the private money, he even kicked her out of the house. I thought my brother and sister-in-law would give my father a good burial, but in the end they just rolled them up in a torn mat and threw him into a mass grave.
In order to bury her father, she had to go to this step.
Xiuye spoke pitifully and cried sadly. Qi Lang sat aside and listened, unmoved. Just like Gu Mingmou said, Qi Lang is not as gentle as he looks, and no disciple of the aristocratic family is simple.
He didn't say much. He just said a few words of comfort and sent someone to take her down for placement. When he saw that she was gone, he called his men over and ordered: "Go to Gu's house to check what happened there recently. Then go to Xiu Let’s check at Ye’s house to see if it’s what she said.”
"I obey my orders."
After everyone left, Qi Lang closed his eyes and leaned on the chair, with a rare trace of exhaustion on his face.
A slim woman in a green shirt walked in with light steps. The woman's soft little hands gently pressed on Qi Lang's shoulders, and she called out softly, "Your Majesty."
"Yeah." Qi Lang hummed lazily, without opening his eyes.
"I heard that the Crown Prince brought a girl here today. I wonder which family's girl is so lucky?" The woman's words contained a hint of inquiry.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You are a responsible girl and you should know better." Qi Lang suddenly opened his eyes, his black eyes like dots of cold stars, with a bone-chilling chill.
"Lingluo realizes his mistake and asks the prince to forgive me." The woman hurriedly knelt down, not daring to raise her head.
"Get up." After saying that, he reached out and took the woman into his arms. Lingluo sat sideways on Qi Lang's lap and leaned into his arms with a calm expression.
"The prince hasn't come to see you for a long time. I miss you so much." Lingluo, who has been with Qi Lang for many years, knows that the prince likes girls who are dutiful and obedient, so naturally she does not dare to violate the taboo again.
She knew very well that in the prince's heart, there was only Miss Gu, and other women were just playthings. At first, Miss Gu just looked at her twice, and she was sent outside just because the prince didn't want to let her go.
Miss Gu was just suspicious.
It's not that she hasn't thought about being able to return to the Hou Mansion one day, but that day is still far away for her, at least it won't be possible before Miss Gu comes in. But it doesn't matter, as long as the prince still remembers her, that's enough.
The sun was blazing outside, and a guard with a stern expression stood guard outside the door. A woman's soft moans could be heard vaguely in the hall, and they continued for a long time.
After checking the accounts in the silk shop for a long time, Gu Mingmou and others were ready to leave until it was getting dark outside. As soon as she came down from the second floor, she saw the shopkeeper entertaining guests.
The guests were three men and two women. One of the women covered her face with a translucent gauze. She had a red mark on her forehead and wore a green-colored chest-length skirt. Even if she couldn't see her appearance clearly, she could tell that she was a beauty.
Such a beauty gave Gu Mingmou a strong sense of crisis. It was a feeling as if she had met an old enemy. Everyone gradually became blurred in her eyes, except for that woman who was still clear.
The woman seemed to notice something and suddenly turned her head to look over. The two looked at each other, and the woman frowned in confusion, nodded slightly to her, and turned her gaze back.
Although he really wanted to find out who this person was, it was not a good time after all, so Gu Mingmou just paused and left with his men.
"Shopkeeper, who was that guy just now?" the masked woman asked curiously.
"That's our young master's house." After all, she is a girl, so it would be bad for people to know about her, so all the shopkeepers were treated as if she were a man, so they would not be caught in the future.
"It turns out to be a man..." The woman whispered to herself, shaking her head in disappointment.
"Sister, what was wrong with that person just now? Do you want to arrest him and ask him?" the sturdy young man next to the woman asked in a low voice.
"Ning Xing, this is the capital, not home. Don't act recklessly in the future. If you cause trouble, it will bring trouble to the family." The woman said sternly.
"What are you afraid of? Sooner or later, my eldest sister will marry Prince Heng anyway. When you become the princess, my Ning family will not have the final say in this capital." The young man muttered dissatisfiedly.
"Shut up, what kind of place do you think this is? How dare you say such nonsense!" The two siblings said
During the dispute, the shopkeeper who went to the back warehouse to look for new ingredients came back, and the two stopped talking.
After meeting that strange woman during the day, when Gu Mingmou returned home, she felt something was wrong with her eyes. Sometimes she looked normal and sometimes lost color. Moreover, her head kept hurting. The pain was like a line, spreading from the back of her head. to the temples.
This feeling was very familiar. She had experienced it in her previous life, but the pain was even worse at that time.
The tragedy in her previous life began with these eyes. She thought it would take a long time to discover the abnormality in these eyes, but she did not expect the changes to occur so quickly.
The woman I saw today must have something to do with her eyes. It's a pity that I don't know her origin. I hope I can see her again in the future.
Fortunately, the headache was not severe. After midnight, Gu Mingmou finally couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
After falling asleep, she had a dream about what happened after her death in her previous life.
She actually saw Prince Heng, who had become the emperor, standing in front of her. He seemed to be looking at her, with emotions in his eyes that she didn't understand. How could he be there? Have they known each other before
When I woke up, it was already noon on the second day. The house was quiet and quiet, with ice basins placed at the four corners. Although the sun was dazzling and scorching outside, there was no trace of it inside the house.
Turning over lazily, Gu Mingmou hugged the quilt and balled up, rarely sleeping in.
After a while, Xiuyue came in quietly from outside, looked into the bed, saw her eyes open, and then walked in with a smile.
"Girl, please wake up. The prince has been waiting for you for a while."
"Why is he here?" Gu Mingmou sat up from the bed and watched Xiuyue hang up the green gauze curtain neatly, and Xiuyu was waiting for her to dress beside her.
She chose a light green cross-neck half-arm skirt embroidered with a pattern of small white plum blossoms. She wore a double bun with a light green pearl-embellished ribbon tied on both sides, hanging down to her ears, giving her a girlish purity and sweetness.
After cleaning up, Xiuyue brought a food box over and took out a small bowl of bird's nest porridge and several plates of side dishes to fill her stomach first. After all, lunch would be coming soon.
After casually eating a few mouthfuls, Gu Mingmou went to the side hall to see Qi Lang.
