54. Eavesdropping

"Shh

Just as Gao Ran was thinking about how to react in embarrassment, Gao Xi suddenly made a silent gesture towards her.

"Whew-"

For a moment, Gao Ran felt that he had been saved......!

However, in the next moment, she immediately reacted - Gao Xi suddenly became like this, something must be about to happen......

She hurriedly poked her head out, and through the mottled gaps in the leaves, she could barely see a small corner of the courtyard under the tree.

Although it was indeed inconvenient to observe the location chosen by Gao Xi - as far as she was concerned, she had to admit that if anyone in the academy came to this courtyard and wanted to do something to avoid people's eyes, then that small corner under this tree was indeed the most secret place in the whole courtyard......

"Could it be?!"

Gao Ran realized that Gao Xi was not only doing this to hide himself, but also to obtain some private information about some people in the academy that might be useful in the future!

"Sure enough, it's the 'old rivers and lakes'! They are so good at inquiring about intelligence! Also, when you first arrive in a strange place, instead of running around without direction to find out useful information, it is better to choose the most ideal hiding place, and then wait for someone with a secret to take the initiative to send it to the door......

Before Gao Ran could think about it, she soon heard the sparse sound of people stepping on the grass from not far away......

"Someone's coming!"

Sensing this, Gao Ran immediately put away her mind and concentrated her gaze on the small piece of grass at her feet, which was slightly shaded by the shade of the trees.

The person who came was a young man dressed in white.

It's a pity that because he is looking down from above, Gao Ran can't see his appearance clearly...... However, judging from his height and body shape, Gao Ran estimated that his age should be a little younger than Yun Zhen, maybe eight or nine years old!

looked at the young man's white clothes, and then looked down to see that he and Gao Xi were both dressed in robes made of gray-black coarse cloth......

"Ahh

Gao Ran couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

I didn't notice much before I left the academy...... However, after a few months of living in the rivers and lakes, she gradually realized that in the people, ordinary people rarely wear light-colored clothes - let alone white!

White clothes are beautiful, but they are easy to get dirty, and although they are beautiful, they are not practical.

What people need more is practical, durable, and dirt-resistant – even if it doesn't look good!

Over time, Gao Ran understood that in Yunxiangguo, those who always wore light-colored clothes, especially white clothes, should all belong to high-ranking and noble families, and they should live a luxurious life on weekdays without touching the spring water......

Not long after the boy reached the bottom of the tree, he was followed by a little girl in a light pink dress who looked smaller than him.

"What's the matter with me?!"

As soon as Gao Ran heard the tone of the girl's voice, he guessed that even though the boy seemed to be older than her, the relationship between the two of them must be unusual! Otherwise, it would be impossible for the girl to speak to him in such an unkind tone.

"Yu'er, my brother is back today......"

"I'm back, I'm back, it's worth asking me here to talk?!

After that, the girl named "Yu'er" made a gesture to leave.

"Wait!" the boy quickly grabbed her and stopped her from leaving.

"Listen to me! My brother is back! But he didn't come back alone, he came back with my sister-in-law!"

"Your sister-in-law?!"

The girl was obviously intrigued by the "sister-in-law" mentioned by the boy.

"Hmm!" the boy replied in a somewhat heavy tone.

"Okay! It's rare for the daughter of the Gao family to visit, this is a good opportunity to get acquainted with the next head of their Gao family!

The girl's words made Gao Ran's heart chuckle unconsciously.

She suddenly had a strong premonition, although she didn't know who this girl was, but this boy ...... Ten ** should be a person from the "Fu family"! And the "sister-in-law" in his mouth is likely to be her eldest sister - Gao Qi.

"Who is this girl?!Why is she so scheming at such a young age?!She is still so sure that Gao Qi will definitely be the next head of the Gao family?!"

Even though she had planned so in her heart-no matter what, the Gao family would have to let Gao Qi inherit it in the future! However, when Gao Ran heard that someone had already decided about this matter from the beginning, and it seemed that she had been excluded from consideration from the beginning, it still made her feel a little uncomfortable in her heart......

"Alas!" the boy ignored the girl's request, but sighed a little helplessly.

Gao Ran looked at his reaction, and felt that he seemed to have expected such a reaction from the girl......

"This kid is ......"

As an outsider, Gao Ran felt as if he could see through the boy's mind very lightly. She felt that if she guessed correctly, this Fu family kid would like this girl in ten places!

"But, what does this have to do with him specifically mentioning that Gao Qi came to his house?!"

Before Gao Ran could think deeply, what the boy said to the girl next "informed" her of the answer......

"Yu'er, my sister-in-law came this time, not simply to accompany my brother back to save relatives...... This time, she came to propose to my family on behalf of the Gao family......"

"What?!Proposed?!Didn't she already marry your brother?!Why?!Having the eldest son of the Fu family is not enough?!Does she still want to marry another one from your Fu family?!?!Isn't it possible for her to marry another one from your Fu family?!?!Isn't she already married to your brother?!!Why?!Having the eldest son of the Fu family is not enough?!Does she still want to marry another one from your Fu family?!?!Can she ...... Is this necessary?!"

Who would have thought that after listening to what the boy said, the girl not only did not naturally associate it in the direction that the boy hinted at her, but also thought very calmly in a serious manner, "Gao Qi, who has always been known for her shrewdness, actually plans to marry two husbands from the Fu family, what kind of idea is she fighting?!"

"No! It's not that she wants to marry another one from our Fu family, she came this time mainly to propose marriage for others! She wants to marry her sister, and wants me to make a marriage contract with the second lady of the Gao family first...... It is said that this is the meaning of the head of the Gao family, and she just does it......"

"What?!Second Miss Gao Family?!You mean Gao Ran?!"

The girl's rhetorical question not only surprised the boy, but even Gao Ran, who had been eavesdropping on the tree, was also quite surprised!

"Yu'er, do you know the second miss of the Gao family?!"

As the boy asked, Gao Ran also asked in his heart, "Yes, you know me, but why don't I know you?!"

Gao Ran was very sure that even in the memory of the original owner of her body, there was absolutely no half of the girl in front of her! She was extremely sure that she definitely didn't know the girl in front of her!

"Hmph! Of course I know! The girl that the third prince likes is actually the sick son of the Gao family! Can I not know him?!"

When the girl said this, there was a faint hint of jealousy and jealousy in her tone......

"Isn't it?!At a young age, he actually knew how to put spies by Yun Zhen's side...... Uh, no! You...... You actually like that Yun Zhen?!"

Rather than lamenting that this girl was so scheming at such a young age, when Gao Ran realized that this girl might like Yun Zhen, her eyes suddenly lit up! At this moment, what she cared more about was another thing-something that might be very beneficial to her!

As long as we can reach a consensus of interests with me and we are mutually beneficial, then I will make up your 'friend'!"

Although I don't know what the identity of this girl is, just by her dress, and her attitude towards the Fu family's son, and she still knows Yun Zhen...... From this information alone, Gao Ran is enough to guess that this girl's family background must not be simple!

"Well, I'm sorry, little boy...... Although I don't know which son of the Fu family you are, your love has nothing to do with me! But this one is called 'Yu'er', and her heart may be able to help me greatly! So, I'm sorry, for the sake of my future freedom, I can only choose to sacrifice your love and do my best to help this 'Yu'er' become the crown princess!"

Just by virtue of this "Yu'er" at a young age, he has the ability to plant spies around Yun Zhen and knows his specific whereabouts well, and he has not been discovered by Yun Zhen so far...... Just by rushing to this point, Gao Ran felt that as long as this "Yu'er's" intention for Yun Zhen remained unchanged, then she was absolutely sure that she could help her to the position of "crown princess" - not to mention, with such a deep scheming of this "Yu'er", in the palace, she would definitely be able to mix like a fish in water!

Thinking about it like this, Gao Ran felt that she was not all using this "Yu'er"! If this "Yu'er" became the crown princess one day, she would definitely live a better life with her own ability, not worse!

Thinking about it like this, Gao Ran no longer felt the slightest guilt about what she was about to do next!

In addition, Gao Ran, ********who was only thinking about how to get to know this "Yu'er" and form an "alliance" with her next, had already automatically ignored that Gao Qi, who the son of the Fu family had just said, had gone to the Fu family and was negotiating with the head of the Fu family to settle the marriage contract between her and him......

Perhaps, the reason why Gao Ran can see the matter of being engaged so easily is because she has already thought that she will leave the Gao family sooner or later, so it is not painful for her to be privately married by others! As long as she doesn't admit it, I'm afraid no one will be able to do anything about her at that time!

So, about the Fu family in front of her, who is about to become her "fiancé", she has long been completely ignored!

The only thing she ******** pay attention to at the moment is the little girl named "Yu'er".

"Hey, let's go back! After settling down in the new inn, you can go and find out to me what is the origin of this person called 'Yu'er'?!

Seeing that Gao Ran's face was calm, but his eyes were full of calculations, Gao Xi didn't ask any more questions. He just nodded silently, and then quickly flew away from the courtyard with her in his arms, and returned to the outer walls of the academy......
