Chapter 278: Someone to Protect
Listening to this strange voice, He Ronglan, who was sitting in front of the dresser and buried her head in the crook of her arm, raised her head and looked at Gu Yuanqin, Miss Gu Si, who walked in.
Gu Yuanqin looked up from the bronze mirror, and when he looked at his girl, his smile froze on his lips, and he couldn't laugh anymore.
The voice of the person in front of her was familiar to her, but what about the person? Unkempt hair, powdered and unappreciative, the face that used to be pink has now become yellow and thin, and the two eyes are particularly large, looking at herself hollowly.
Gu Yuanqin couldn't help but snort.
Is this the third lady of the Tobe Shangshu family? No matter how you look at it, it is similar to those beggars who make a living by begging in the streets and alleys.
He Ronglan has been humiliated since that day, and she is more and more disregarded by her father, and when her mother is away, even those subordinates show her face. And none of her old friends would come to play with her, and they all avoided her like a plague. Over time, He Ronglan also saw it, and she also gave up.
Since there are no friends who come to the door, I don't dare to go out, so as not to be recognized and ridiculed, over time, this Miss He San is too lazy to dress up, and she is dressed all day long, sulking with herself, or she is angry with those girls in her yard, which makes the whole courtyard afraid of her.
Therefore, today she actually saw her former playmate, Gu Yuanqin, the fourth lady of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion, come to see her, she was surprised and delighted, but in the end she put on a straight face.
She said coldly, "What are you doing here? Aren't you, like them, seeing me like a plague, and you can't hide from me." Why, aren't you afraid that I will harm you?"
Gu Yuanqin sat down by himself. Said leisurely: "If I'm afraid that you will trouble me, what am I going to do with you?" I'm not here to hurt you, I'm here to help you. ”
"Help me?" He Ronglan looked at Gu Yuanqin in disbelief, "How do you want to help me?"
Gu Yuanqin did not answer her words directly, but picked up the tea that Yahuan had brought over, took a sip of steaming steam, and said, "That sea holly is weird. ”
He Ronglan glanced at her angrily: "You still need to say this, stupid people can see that sea holly has no grievances with me, why don't others care at all." Even my personal ring can be seen that the sea holly must have been specially trained to make me ugly. ”
Gu Yuanqin nodded: "Since you know that sea holly was instructed by someone, why don't you go and track it down?"
"How do you ask me to investigate?" He Ronglan thought of her current situation, and couldn't help but want to cry, "This incident happened so suddenly, I didn't prepare at all, and as a result, there was such a big ugliness in front of the public." Shame on me, my dad wishes I was dead. ”
"You can't die. Gu Yuanqin said, "If you really want to die, you have to wait for this matter to come to light, and it's not too late to die." ”
He Ronglan was originally a person who was afraid of death. Where can you give up the glory and wealth of this full mansion? At the moment, he glared at Gu Yuanqin, "Who said that I want to die, I won't let those who harm me succeed so easily." ”
Gu Yuanqin said with a smile: "That's right." As long as we can get to the bottom of this matter, we will give you justice. Avenge your hatred, do you still think about dying?"
He Ronglan said "death". It's really just talking, if her temperament was really that strong, she wouldn't have bent her neck to live to this day.
Therefore, as soon as she heard Gu Yuanqin say that she would avenge her, her eyes immediately lit up.
She knew that the fourth young lady of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion was not a simple person, and her mother often reminded her at home, asking her to make more friends with this second young lady, which would be of great benefit in the future. So, she asked eagerly, "Then tell me, what should I do now?"
"Don't worry. Gu Yuanqin comforted her, "Now that the incident has happened, you must relax and seriously recall the scene at that time, what were you doing at that time, why did you attract that sea holly?"
He Ronglan thought about it seriously, and said: "Actually, there was nothing at that time, but I saw the arrogant Gu Xiaoer in your house, and when I thought of the tragic experience of our good sister Zhao Xiaojiu, I couldn't get angry, I just wanted to humiliate her." ”
Gu Yuanqin listened and was relieved, "How did you humiliate her?"
He Ronglan said proudly: "Yuan Qin, didn't you come to the Queen Mother's banquet at that time, so I set up her mother to be in charge, and deliberately didn't let you come, so that everyone could see her jokes." ”
Gu Yuanqin smiled very happily: "If you really have you, you are really bold, you dare to do it." ”
He Ronglan snorted coldly: "What do I dare not do! You don't know that Zhao Xiaojiu is my good sister, and I have had eight friendships with her." We used to play together on weekdays, but now that she is married to that bad old man, she is about to be tortured to the point that she will not be formed. In the final analysis, it's all the fault of that Gu Xiaoer in your house!"
"No, there's still that Gu Xiaowu!" Gu Yuanqin said affirmatively.
He Ronglan hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes, there is also that Gu Xiaowu." I remember that Zhao Xiaojiu said that she had stumbled on that Gu Xiaowu in your house before, and now something happened to her, so she suspected that Gu Xiaowu was looking for someone to harm her. ”
She glanced at Gu Yuanqin: "Yuanqin, that day at the gate of the palace, I made up my mind to avenge you and Zhao Xiaojiu, originally I wanted to humiliate Gu Xiaoer and Gu Xiaowu together, but Gu Xiaowu didn't come, so I targeted your second sister." After all, I'm at this point now, all because I want to vent my anger on you, and you must avenge me. ”
Gu Yuanqin glanced at He Ronglan and sneered in his heart: This third lady of the He family is simply a pig's head, and she is impulsive, if it were her, she would not do this. But at the end of the day, she's also for herself, and they have a common enemy, so they can form an alliance.
She patted He Ronglan: "Don't worry, didn't I say it, I will make the decision for you." I think that all this should have been done by that Gu Xiaowu. ”
He Ronglan raised her head a little stunned: "Gu Xiaowu in your house, does she have such a great ability?"
Gu Yuanqin paused, in fact, what she wanted to say was that Gu Xiaowu's ability was great, even the prince had a soft spot for her, and the young master of the Baojian Hall was also involved with her. However, she doesn't want to say these words to this Miss He Wu for the time being, lest she have a big mouth and say it, which will ruin her big thing.
She looked at He Ronglan very seriously and said: "Anyway, my fifth sister is indeed very capable, in my opinion, the incident of Zhao Xiaojiu falling into the water, and what happened to you, I am afraid she did it...... Even if she didn't do it, she bribed others to do it. As far as I know, she has been very close to some Jianghu sects recently. ”
"Jianghu Sect?" He Ronglan's eyes widened in surprise, and her face turned white. As if remembering something else, he muttered, "No wonder...... No wonder she didn't die when she was in Jiangzhou that time, it turned out that there were people from the Jianghu sect protecting her. ”
Gu Yuanqin was stunned: "What did you say?" (to be continued.) )
