Qin Wan Hui looked hesitant. "Fourth sister, today we have all come to meet the noble ladies. I'm afraid I can't afford to offend you. Why don't eldest sister-in-law accompany you to meet her?"
Just as she was speaking, Qin Wuren hurried over and whispered something into her ear. Qin Wuren's expression became even more anxious.
"Th-what should we do? Something seems to have happened outside .."
The corner of Gu Hua Jing's mouth curved, "Elder sister-in-law should go quickly, but we are only meeting with the elders, what's so difficult about that?"
"In that case, sister-in-law will be back soon."
Gu Hua Jing had just nodded her head when Qin Hui immediately turned around and left. Gu Hua Jing lightly shook her head. Can't you be any more sincere?
Turning around, Gu Hua Jing was keenly aware that the girl in yellow clothes just now seemed to have .. Something wrong?
The aura on his body suddenly became that of a person, low-key but sharp.
Gu Hua Jing remained calm and collected. Was this really something that Qin Guan had arranged for her to do? What kind of obstacles did she find for herself?
However, things had already gotten to this point, so Gu Hua Jing had no choice but to follow the little girl and quickly arrived in front of a large building.
"Fourth Miss Gu, please, my wife is inside."
The yellow clothed little girl lowered her head and retreated. The maid behind Gu Hua Jing was also stopped. She was actually really interested in what kind of person was inside?
Walking alone into the building, she blocked Gu Hua Jing's line of sight with a flash of the screen.
"You're Gu Hua Jing?"
A low voice came from behind the screen. Gu Hua Jing secretly frowned, "This little girl is indeed, I wonder who Madam is ..?"
"You don't need to know who I am. I just want to see what kind of woman will make His Highness interested in me."
Your Highness? What Your Highness?
Even though Gu Hua Jing's heart was as clear as a mirror, she still couldn't understand a single word.
However, no one answered her question.
Gu Hua Jing steadied her breath and walked around the screen. There was no one behind her, and a small door was slightly ajar. It seemed like she had already left, leaving behind only a faint fragrance.
"Miss, Miss, are you alright?"
Qingmei hurriedly rushed in and saw that Gu Hua Jing was having a good time. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.
"I was scared to death. Those people disappeared in an instant. I thought .. I thought something happened to Miss .."
"No problem, go out."
Gu Hua Jing calmed herself down. She had a strange feeling that the person who just arrived had nothing to do with Qin Hui.
She even mentioned "Your Highness", but to be able to use such a term, Gu Hua Jing was even more unsure. Was the person she was referring to someone from the palace? However .. But what did it have to do with her?
After a long while, with a warm expression, Qin Wuren went to the pavilion to chat with a smiling woman.
"Did you see that? Did I say anything wrong? My fourth sister is really excellent. Let's not talk about her looks, have you heard about her dowry? It's not exaggerated to see it stretch for five kilometers! "
The woman's eyes lit up when she heard this. She thought back to Gu Hua Jing's appearance just now. She had the bearing of a virgin. She was indeed worthy of being the Gu family's daughter.
"Then, is that a deal? That son of mine is also one of the best in a hundred. If you really talk about it, you, Fourth Miss, must have left him before. "
Qin Wanghui nodded, "Yeah, but we can't rush this. I need to discuss this with my family."
"What else is there to discuss? If someone is willing to accept a girl we've left behind, what kind of great fortune would that be?"
The woman glanced at Qin WangHui, "I wasn't the one who said that. If you didn't pull the strings, I wouldn't have even looked at you. It doesn't matter if you're a complete person or a person from the outside.
Qin Wan had to smile along with him. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something. "Madam just called my fourth sister out alone. Did you ask about something?"
"Alone? When did I call her alone? "
Qin Wanghui was stunned when she heard this. It wasn't her? Who could it be? She had dealt with the matters from before and came back in a hurry to ask about the situation, but it wasn't her?
"Madam Sun, I'll be taking my leave first."
Qin Wanghui quickly stood up and quickly walked out of the pavilion, her eyes quickly scanning the figure that was talking to each other.
There was no trace of Gu Huaxin anywhere. Where did she go? Someone else had just seen Gu Hua Jing alone? Right under her nose?
Qin Wan frowned and asked the little girl to go out and find out, but she found out that Gu Huanjing had already gone back to the Flowerflower Courtyard to rest.
After the Flower Viewing Banquet was over, Gu Hua Jing lazily leaned against the chair.
"Miss, aren't you going to rest?"
Gu Hua Jing waved her hand, "Rest now. We'll have to change when we get here later. It's too troublesome."
Qing Mei blinked her round eyes. Waiting for someone to come? Who?
Just as this thought flashed through her mind, a little girl came in from outside and reported, "Miss, Eldest Young Mistress is here."
Gu Hua Jing raised her eyebrows. She had finally arrived. Qin Wuren had uncharacteristically invited her to the Flower Viewing Banquet, and it definitely wasn't just to let her see the peach blossoms.
But whatever it was, she was waiting.
After getting up and tidying up a bit, Gu Hua Jing slowly walked out.
In the small parlour behind the curtain, Qin Wang-hui was already waiting.
Her eyes skimmed over the ornaments of the Flowery Garden, and her heart began to burn uncontrollably.
She was just a woman that was disregarded by her husband, but she lived in the Gu family with a peace of mind and enjoyed a better treatment than any of them! How shameless!
When he had first taken control of the house, Old Master Gu had specially instructed him to not change any of the furnishings in the Flowerflower Garden. He had to maintain the same appearance as before Gu Hua Jing had left the pavilion.
It was simply unreasonable. Gu Hua Jing had clearly already married into such a beautiful garden. Could it be that she would have to keep such a beautiful garden for the rest of her life?
But unexpectedly, he really stayed behind. Even when Miss Ping'er had grown up, Master Gu did not loosen his grip on her and let her stay in his house.
Qin Wanghui secretly gritted her teeth. This time, when Gu Huaxin marries again, she would have to make good plans. Not only would she have to get back on good terms with Gu Hua Lei, she would also have to think of a way to make sure that Gu Hua Jing would never come back!
"Eldest sister-in-law, why are you here at this time?"
Gu Hua Jing pretended not to notice Qin Wanghui's vicious expression as she greeted her without a change in expression.
Qin Wan immediately tidied up her expression and wanted to go over to pull Gu Hua Jing's hand.
Gu Hua Jing was just about to grab a teacup and change Qin Hui's position.
"Eldest sister-in-law, please take a seat. Have a taste of my tea."
"What little sister has here is naturally extremely good .."
Qin Wan's hands missed their target. Embarrassed, she turned to the teacup and took a small sip. The clear aroma of the tea immediately filled her mouth.
As expected, it was good tea, but she had clearly left behind all of the extremely small amount of white hair. Gu Hua Lei loved to drink this, so why would Gu Hua Jing appear here?
"As long as elder sister-in-law likes it, then it's alright. Big brother sent someone to deliver it. I can tell it's of high quality and wouldn't casually be served."
Just as Gu Hua Jing finished speaking, the smile on Qin Wanghui's face stiffened. But when she thought of her purpose in coming here, she forced herself not to reveal it.
"Fourth sister, did you hear any rumors or slanders during the Flower Lover Banquet today?" Fourth Sister doesn't have to worry about that. How would those women know about the suffering that Fourth Sister has gone through? "
"What does sister-in-law mean? I didn't hear anything. "
Qin Wan's smile deepened. In the end, Gu Hua Jing only wanted to save face. She didn't believe that she didn't hear the discussion.
"Actually... It was good if he didn't hear it, but if his sister-in-law said so, wouldn't He Li's girl lose all face and live on? It's not like it's Fourth Sister's fault. Why do they all have to say it like they want to force Fourth Sister to death?! "
Qin Wuren shared a common hatred, "Fourth Sister, please do not take this to heart. Although this woman has been separated from me for a long time, she will not be the only one to have some problems. I think she is blessed."
Gu Hua Jing lowered her head to listen. Her mood was calm and tranquil, but behind her, Senior Servant Tian's expression was quite wonderful.
Eldest Young Mistress's every word was a poke at Miss' weak spot; this was simply too much!
However, Qin Wuren clearly did not feel that what she said was not the truth. Since the peace was gone, there should be these feelings.
Moreover, only by making Gu Hua Jing realize her true situation would she be able to continue speaking.
Seeing that Gu Hua Jing didn't say anything, Qin Hui was quite satisfied. How much better would he have been to be honest like this earlier?
"Aiya, Fourth Sister, look at my mouth. Don't tell me it makes you sad?" "It's elder sister-in-law's fault. Actually, elder sister-in-law came here today to speak heartfelt words with her younger sister."
Qin Wuren felt that she had taken control of the situation, so she relaxed slightly and took another sip of tea.
"Today, the wife of the Sun family came to find me. She has a sharp eye, and it is good to see her sister with just a glance. Hearing those rumors, she is also quite pampered. She always asks me about her sister."
Gu Hua Jing remained silent. She raised her eyes to look at Qin Hui, who seemed to be encouraged by her action. The smile on her face grew even wider.
"Thus, little sister is fortunate. Madam Sun mentioned that her youngest son is not yet married. When Eldest Sis heard this, she immediately thought it over for little sister."
"Sun family's young master is ranked very high in the capital. Sun family's status is not low either. Sun family's wife loves this little girl the most. My sister-in-law thinks that this is fate, right?"
Finished speaking, Qin Wan looked expectantly at Gu Hua Jing, hoping to see some reaction from her face.
Gu Hua Jing also had a reaction, but it wasn't very cordial. She wrinkled her brow and turned her head to look at her little girl.
"Qingmei, did you say last time that there was one with the surname 'Sun' among those people who made me up as a doggerel?"
"Miss, it is indeed the young master of the Sun family. However, after he returned your dowry to the Bai family, he wrote a poem saying that the Bai family was stupid and couldn't even hold a girl in his hands."
"Shut up! Where is the place where a servant can speak?! "
Qin Wanghui furrowed her brows. She was so flustered that she wanted to smash Qing Mei with her teacup. Gu Hua Jing's eyes flashed and Senior Servant Tian stepped forward to receive the teacup.
