Gu Mingmou knew very well that her and Qi Lang's identities were very different. Without Qi Lang, her status in the Gu family would definitely plummet, and without her, there would be countless noble girls who wanted to marry into the Marquis of Yongning. Shen Ying is just one of them.
She wouldn't let such a thing happen. Since he married Gu Mingxin in his previous life, it meant that they were the couple who were destined to be husband and wife. They might as well continue as usual in this life.
"What are you thinking about?" After waiting for her answer for a long time, Shen Guiye became more and more impatient, thinking that she still didn't want to let Qi Lang go.
"I'm afraid my father will not give up on this marriage easily." Gu Mingmou already knew exactly what kind of person Gu Yong was. From the day this father sent her to Yongning Hou Mansion to be a concubine in her previous life, she had no interest in him anymore. It's beyond expectation.
Even if he knew it was Qi Lang's fault, Gu Yong would never allow the engagement to be terminated. In this world, the only person who really cares about her future is her mother.
"Is it just because of this?" Shen Guiye's voice was low, with an unexplainable danger. Obviously, he didn't quite believe what Gu Mingmou said.
He gently stroked Gu Mingmou's hair with one hand, and the faint fragrance filled his nose, which reminded him of the time he met her and Qi Lang in a restaurant.
Apart from other things, except for some innocuous minor problems, Qi Lang really cherished her very much and could be said to be sincere. For her sake, he even sent all the women who had served him out of the house. The only thing worthy of criticism was that he took in the redeemed maid behind her back. If Gu Mingmou had never known this, their future life might not be so good. What a difference.
After all, Qi Lang would definitely not make his wife look bad because of any other woman, and he happened to have feelings for Gu Mingmou. With his methods, it was really not difficult to hide Gu Mingmou's secrets.
Knowing this, Shen Guiye didn't believe that Gu Mingmou was really indifferent to Qi Lang.
He was more inclined to think that she was deceiving herself.
"There are some other things, and I'm afraid the prince is not willing to hear them."
"Tell me, maybe I can give you some advice." Shen Guiye's voice was cold, and he really wanted to hear what she could say.
"Since Qi Lang and I are not destined to be husband and wife, and my father is definitely not willing to terminate the engagement with the Yongning Marquis, why not marry someone else? Anyway, my father is not
I have a daughter. "
Shen Guiye was stunned when he heard this. He never expected that Gu Mingmou could say such malicious words. Can a legitimate daughter and a concubine be the same? She wanted Qi Lang to marry her concubine. If he really did this, the Yongning Houfu would probably lose all face.
"you… "
Gu Mingmou looked up and saw his dull expression, and smiled slightly. This is different from the previous life. At that time, the queen Gu Mingyue supported Gu Mingxin, so Qi Lang would not be criticized after marrying Gu Mingxin. Now...
After all, he is also her fiancé. Even if she doesn't want him, she still has to arrange a good home for him.
"Are you serious?" Shen Guiye narrowed his eyes, feeling as if he didn't understand the little girl under him at all.
Was she stimulated, or had she planned this from the beginning
"Of course I'm serious."
Shen Guiye looked at her steadily for a long time before he said: "This is not easy. The Queen Mother is more inclined to marry Shen Ying to Qi Lang. It may be difficult for the Queen Mother to change her mind."
His words made Gu Mingmou suddenly realize. No wonder the Queen Mother suddenly wanted to see her mother. It was possible that someone from the Jin Palace was looking for her.
Once the Queen Mother opens her mouth, does the Gu family still have room to refuse
By that time, I'm afraid everyone will feel that Princess Anyang and Prince Yongning are a match made in heaven, and no one will care what happens to her after she breaks off the engagement.
Because Shen Ying was not able to get involved with Qi Lang in her previous life, she was not very optimistic about this woman. Now it seems that she has underestimated her.
Of course, Shen Guiye only said that this matter was difficult, but it did not mean that it was completely impossible to stop the Queen Mother. It just depends on whether she is worth it. After all, she is not that important to him.
Shen Guiye waited for her to ask him, but after waiting for a long time, he only heard her sigh lowly and didn't say anything.
This made him suddenly a little irritable. Why not beg him? As long as she asked, would he still refuse? Where does he fit into her heart
At this moment, Gu Mingmou was still thinking about what conditions she should use to impress Shen Guiye and let him stand up for her, but she didn't know that what Shen Guiye and she were thinking were completely opposite.
Before she had time to think of a good idea, she felt Shen Guiye's hand holding her shoulder.
"If I tell you that this won't work, what do you want to do?" His tone was suppressed, as if it contained endless anger.
Gu Mingmou looked confused. He didn't understand how he had offended her. Is this the so-called breathing mistake? She didn’t say anything either!
"If the prince doesn't like it, I won't do it."
Shen Guiye stared at her for a long time, finally got up from her, turned around and left without even looking at her.
Gu Mingmou lay on the bed for a while, and finally calmed down. She smiled bitterly to herself. She finally realized what it meant to be with you like a tiger, and you wouldn't even give a hint if you fall out.
Fortunately, her purpose of coming today was achieved, but it was a pity that she offended Prince Heng inexplicably, and I don't know what he would do with her.
I stood up and straightened my clothes and hair a little. After sitting for a while, I saw Sanqi walking in quietly.
Gu Mingmou glanced sideways at her, Sanqi was in a daze for a moment, then lowered his head and said: "Girl, the prince has sent Hongtu to take you back to your home."
"Where is the prince?"
"I went back to the palace. I seem to be in a bad mood."
"Then let's go."
Hong Tu was extremely quiet all the way back, and the disdain and annoyance he felt when he saw her last time were all gone. It seemed like he had learned a lesson, and gained wisdom from the experience. In fact, he couldn't see in his heart that she had never thought about having a relationship with the people around Prince Heng.
He sent her outside the wall of Gu's house near her yard. Seeing that there was no one around, Sanqi supported her and jumped over the high wall lightly.
It was getting late at this time and the lights in the room had already been turned off. As soon as Gu Mingmou and Sanqi entered the room, they saw Xiuyue hurriedly greet them.
"Girl, you are finally back."
"What happened?"
"The madam is back. I sent someone to invite the girl an hour ago. I had to say that you are not feeling well and go to bed first." Xiuyue was a little hesitant. Based on the girl's past temperament, she knew that the madam would be waiting for her when she came back. Today, he didn't even show his face. Such an excuse may not be able to hide it from Madam.
"Mother didn't send anyone again?"
Xiuyue shook her head.
"Since it didn't happen, just pretend that nothing happened." Sooner or later, my mother will have to give an explanation, but since she didn't mention it, she naturally won't take the initiative and wait until Qi Lang has finished handling it.
