"I said Yingying, why do you need to do this?" As soon as Shen An walked into the box, he saw his sister Lao Shen sitting on the ground drinking tea. She was not as innocent as she was when she faced Qi Lang just now. Shen An felt a little uncomfortable with his sister's behavior of blaming everything on her mother. Although it was indeed her mother who did it, in the final analysis, it was not because her sister looked like she would not marry unless she was married that her mother condescended to go there in person. After a trip to Yongninghou's mansion, it turned out that Mrs. Yongninghou didn't know current affairs.
"What do you mean it's unnecessary?" Shen Ying rolled her eyes at Shen An.
"Are you really planning to apologize to Gu Mingmou?"
The corners of Shen Ying's lips raised slightly, with a bit of pride, "I stole her fiancé, and I have to give her an explanation."
"Aren't you afraid that she will tell Qi Lang?" Shen An naturally knows better than others what kind of person his sister is, so that he can look like her, at least not being obsessed with Qi Lang.
"I will let her know that after offending Prince Jin's Mansion, the Gu family has no ability to protect themselves, and even the Yongning Mansion cannot help her. Do you think she will dare to say anything at that time?" Shen Ying raised her chin slightly. , his tone was full of cruelty.
After offending the Jin Palace and the Queen Mother one after another, the Gu family still wants to live a good life. When she was forced to a dead end, Gu Mingmou would understand that she had only one option, which was to break off the engagement.
Although Qi Lang entered the Gu family gate, he failed to enter Gu Mingmou's boudoir. Blocked by Xiuyue, he could only see the little girl lying on the bed with her back to him from the half-covered screen.
Even though she knew he was outside, she refused to turn around and take a look, knowing that she was still angry.
"How are you girls?" Without seeing Gu Mingmou, Qi Lang could only ask the maid.
"The girl is very good, Prince, please rest assured."
Qi Lang nodded slightly, and paused for a moment when his eyes fell on Sanqi's face, a little strange, "Are you also Tongtong's maid?"
He recognized everyone around Gu Mingmou, as if he had never seen this person before.
Before Sanqi could say anything, Xiuyue said, "This is Sanqi, the maid specially chosen by Madam for the young lady."
"Really?" Xiuyue's explanation failed.
Qi Lang's brows relaxed, this maid gave people the feeling that something was wrong.
"The prince wants to wait for the girl to wake up?"
"Forget it." Qi Lang smiled and shook his head, "I'll come back another day and tell Tongtong for me that I won't let anyone interfere with our marriage."
"This slave has taken note of it."
"Yeah." Qi Lang glanced at Sanqi again before leaving. Sanqi gave him a toothy smile, which made him frown even more.
"Girl, he's gone." Xiuyue shouted outside the door as soon as Qi Lang left.
Gu Mingmu turned over and sat up from his bed. His eyes were clear and there was no sign of sleepiness. She also heard what Qi Lang just said, but she couldn't feel the slightest emotion in her heart. She couldn't help but glance at Sanqi, thinking that every word Qi Lang said today would eventually fall into the ears of Prince Heng.
He didn't know what method he would use to make Qi Lang change his mind. Gu Mingmou was really curious.
After Qi Lang left Gu Mingmou's yard, he followed the Gu family boy out. As soon as he walked onto the corridor, he saw a little girl coming towards him. The little girl was wearing a pink and white silk skirt, and her appearance was vaguely similar to Gu Mingmou. Qi Lang paused and saw that the girl had stopped.
"I've met Brother Qi." The girl bowed to him with a graceful posture, like a butterfly in flight.
"Are you...Miss Gu San?" Gu Mingmou only has two younger sisters. One was adopted into the second room, and the remaining one should be the person in front of her.
Tongtong would occasionally mention her sister when she was with him in the past, and there was no lack of affection for her in her words. I guess this Miss Gu San must have a good temper.
He actually remembered himself. A flash of surprise flashed in Gu Mingxin's eyes, but he didn't want to show it too much. He suppressed it with difficulty and lowered his head shyly, "Yes, is Brother Qi leaving?"
"kindness."
"Brother Qi, please go first." Gu Mingxin stood aside and made way for Qi Lang. Qi Lang nodded slightly towards her, without saying another word, and left with the boy who led the way, but Gu Mingxin watched his leaving back for a long time and could not recover.
This person is Gu Mingmou's fiancé, the eldest son of Yongninghou Mansion and the future Yongning Marquis.
Such an outstanding man was assigned to Gu Mingmou! Why? Just because she is the legitimate daughter of the Gu family? She didn't have to do anything to marry into the Hou family, and she would become Mrs. Hou in the future, but her marriage was not settled at all.
Mr. Xue never thought about her at all. Maybe she wished she could never get married. She couldn't just accept her fate like this. She was so young and beautiful. Even if she stood next to Gu Mingmou, she would not be any worse than her. Could it be that just because she was a concubine, she would have to put her down in every corner
Gu Mingxin thought further and further, and the expression on his face became more distorted.
"What are the third sisters looking at here?" Gu Mingyue came over at some point. She glanced in the direction where Qi Lang left and asked casually.
"Why are you here?" Seeing Gu Mingyue, Gu Mingxin's tone sounded aggressive. They were both concubines. When Aunt Ning was here, Gu Mingyue didn't know how beautiful she was, and the pomp was even greater than that of Gu Mingmou. Later, she was adopted into the second room, and Gu Mingxin finally gained confidence in front of her.
"The weather is nice today. I went out for a walk and happened to meet my third sister here. Where are you going?"
Gu Mingxin looked at her up and down and snorted, "I don't think I can tell you where I'm going. Could it be that the second sister forgot her identity and meddleed in our big room?"
When she said this, Gu Mingyue suddenly felt a little aggrieved, "Third sister really misunderstood me. I just wanted to come and say hello to third sister."
Gu Mingxin sneered, "I have nothing to do to show my courtesy."
Gu Mingyue didn't mind Gu Mingxin's tone at all, and said quite meaningfully: "That person just now was the Crown Prince Yongning, right? It was such a coincidence that the third sister met him."
"None of your business." Gu Mingxin glared at her angrily, fearing that Gu Mingyue would go anywhere and talk about it.
"It's true that you don't care about me, it's just a pity..." Gu Mingyue said while shaking her head.
"What's a pity?"
"Hey, don't you, the third sister, know that the marriage between the eldest sister and the prince may not work out." Speaking of this, Gu Mingyue did not hide the gloating in her tone.
