In the early morning, the morning light was dim, and Gu Mingmou opened her eyes on time as usual. She felt no discomfort at all. Only the strong smell of rust in her mouth made her heart sink more and more.
When Xiuyue came to wash her, her eyes fell on her slightly swollen lips several times, but she never said anything.
Not long after breakfast, the maid from another courtyard came to inform her that she would leave for Beijing in half an hour. Gu Mingmou also breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, she was doubtful. Princess Xin'an used some small tricks along the way, although she was vicious. , but they were all blocked back, and it didn't seem to have much to do with her. Now that she is going back to Beijing, has she given up
Gu Mingmou sat on the chair and thought, watching Xiuyue put away her clothes. Unexpectedly, not long after, another maid came over and urged her to go to the main hall. She was confused. When she arrived at the main hall, she found that except Princess Qiyang and several princes, everyone else was there, and there was also a strange middle-aged man she had never seen before.
The middle-aged man was dressed simply and had a good temperament. He was talking to Shen Ying at this time. Seeing Gu Mingmou appear, the two of them stopped. The middle-aged man stood up at the same time and bowed slightly to her, "Miss Gu, okay."
"Hello."
Gu Mingmou was still a little confused, so she heard him continue: "I came here to give something to the girl on the order of the young master. I hope the girl will not refuse." After saying that, he presented the jade box that he had prepared with both hands.
Looking at the familiar box, Gu Ming's eyes darkened, "Might this gentleman have recognized the wrong person? I don't know your young master."
The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Girl, there is no need to refuse. The young master fell in love with the girl at first sight. This is just a little thought." He did not listen to Gu Mingmou's rejection at all.
At this moment, she was really riding a tiger and couldn't get off. Everyone else was sitting on the sidelines watching the excitement, and no one came forward. No one scolded the middle-aged man for being rude. Perhaps this was the show they had been waiting for.
The middle-aged man stared at Gu Mingmu, not missing the flash of panic on her face, and his eyes were filled with the pride of winning. Even if she is the fiancée of Yongning Hou Shizi, she is just a yellow-haired girl now. The young master sent her here specially, which is overkill.
Such a woman is really not worthy of the young master, but her status can still be used to some extent, even if
It might as well be used to attack the Yongning Hou Mansion.
Gu Mingmou lowered his head and did not speak for a long time. After a while, he asked in a low voice, "I wonder who the young master this gentleman is talking about is?"
"Didn't I just meet the girl yesterday?" The middle-aged man suddenly felt confident when he saw her expression.
"Yesterday? Could it be Boss Xie from Baizhen Pavilion?"
"It turns out that the girl has never forgotten the young master." The man deliberately spoke vaguely. Those who didn't know the truth really thought that the two had some kind of relationship before.
"Of course I have never forgotten it. Mr. Xie is so different that I can't forget it even if I want to." Gu Mingmou's tone changed, and it was a bit cold, which made the middle-aged man stunned.
Seeing the vigilance in his eyes, Gu Mingmou snorted coldly, "A mere adulterer dares to come to the third prince's door. I don't know when the royal threshold became so low."
!
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expression changed at the same time. The middle-aged man's face suddenly turned dark, and he wished he could shut Gu Mingmou's mouth immediately. Princess Xin'an, who was sitting aside and drinking tea leisurely, froze even more and raised her head with surprise on her face.
Among the people present, only Zhao Xiwan calmly let the maid pick up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and chewed it slowly, squinting at Gu Mingmu who was standing in the hall.
"You, you are talking nonsense, how dare you ruin the reputation of my young master!" Although the middle-aged man was used to seeing big scenes, he had never encountered such a situation, and he had never heard anyone insult his master. Full of anger welled up in my heart.
"I'm afraid this gentleman is wrong, and I don't know who has evil intentions. You might as well advise Mr. Xie when you go back. It's best to use such dirty methods sparingly. People need to be self-aware, and it's best to remember who you are. , otherwise it's just a joke." Gu Mingmou said with disdain, both in her eyes and in her tone, as if she felt dirty even if she looked at him again. Such a tough change made the middle-aged man hate him. You have to grit your teeth.
"Humph, Miss Gu has such a powerful mouth. I only hope that she can continue to be so powerful." He has always been fawned over since he followed the young master. He is used to hearing other people say nice things, but he has never been so humiliated by a little girl. At this time, he couldn't help but snorted angrily, threw down his sleeves and planned to leave.
"Yes, sir, why don't you bring me a message for your young master to make him cherish the time he has now? After all, there is not much time left for him."
"You..." Gu Mingmou's profound words made the man's heart skip a beat, but he didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly left with the undelivered box.
After the man left, the main hall fell into a silent silence. Some people were watching the fun without having anything to do with themselves, while others were frightened and full of doubts.
It's just that Gu Mingmou's attitude was very normal, as if the tit-for-tat confrontation just now had never happened before, making people not sure how to react.
After the initial shock, Princess Xin'an looked at Gu Mingmou with a little vigilance. It seems that she still underestimated this person. Unexpectedly, she ended the game with a wave of her hand, but...where did she learn about Xie Xie's identity
Did Qi Lang tell her early on, or did someone leak the secret
This atmosphere didn't last long before Princess Qiyang came over, along with several princes and the beautiful dancing girl Linglong. No one mentioned the scene just now, so the matter was completely revealed. .
Gu Mingmou breathed a sigh of relief. This should be Princess Xin'an's last resort. She just hoped that she could be calmer on the way back. If there was another thank you, she might not have enough energy to deal with it.
And she knew in her heart that this matter was not over yet. After all, Xie Xie's identity was still related to her. That person didn't seem to be easy to mess with. This time, it was just that his subordinates failed to control their emotions because they were angry with her words. It may not be so easy to deal with next time.
I don’t know if the Third Prince knows what happened in the main hall before. He should probably have full control over everything that happens in his own territory. However, who makes her have a low status. Isn't it precisely because of this that Prince Heng would treat her like that? If it were the legitimate daughter of the Duke's family, would he dare to be like last night
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look up at Prince Heng, who was standing with the fifth prince, and the stunning beauty who was following him step by step.
Xu Linglong seemed to be aware of her gaze and turned her head to meet Gu Ming's eyes. She did not hide the hostility in her eyes, as if the man beside her had already belonged to her and no one else could take a second look. Gu Ming's head lowered and she couldn't help but feel ridiculous.
