Chapter Twenty-Eight: Defending Yourself
Gu Qingwan raised her head, what appeared in her eyes was not nervousness, not panic, but knowing that she was so indifferent, she was very familiar with the indignant man in front of her.
That is one of Gu Qingyue's diehards back then, the son of Shuntian Mansion Yin, Jia Renyi, a man who claims to be a righteous man. It's just that in his previous life, he stood out for Gu Qingyue, and the object of his accusation was her maternal grandfather's cousin, Li Bingyu.
Back then, my cousin just accused Gu Qingyue of disrespecting her eldest sister, and she was pampered and arrogant, which made Gu Qingyue look like she had been greatly wronged, and she also cried and cried to express her innocence.
She was too stupid at the time, she felt that Gu Qingyue was just a little arrogant, and it didn't hurt, and in turn said that her cousin shouldn't make a big fuss, and the angry Li Bingyu almost vomited blood, and then said that Gu Qingyue pretended to win sympathy, and then this ubiquitous righteous man stepped forward and accused Li Bingyu of bullying, arrogance, and bullying his cousin.
Gu Qingwan was a little funny, this person really can appear at the right time every time, as a perfect flower messenger, but unfortunately, his family background is not good enough, and Gu Qingyue can't look down on him.
At this time, Gu Qingyue looked at Jia Renyi with a moved face, feeling that this person was simply the embodiment of justice sent by God to save her. She cried more and more aggrieved, and her delicate little face was full of bright tears.
"This son, this back garden is full of female guests, why did you break in without permission, I'm afraid it's unreasonable, right?" Although the atmosphere of this dynasty is open, but the aristocratic circle is still very polite, like this occasion, if it is not allowed by the master's family, it is not allowed to let unmarried men and women be in the same place, otherwise something indecent, then the master's family will be to blame.
When all the noble ladies heard this, they immediately felt that it was inappropriate, this man was really uneducated, here are all noble women, how can a man be allowed to break in alone, if it ruins their reputation, what can I do?
"You, don't you leave quickly, do you want me to invite someone to drive you away?" Zhao Yueli immediately shouted to drive people away, so angry that he wanted to beat this inexplicable man.
Jia Renyi panicked for a while, and eavesdropped on the movement in the back garden with a group of friends in the outer courtyard, which is also a common thing, everyone knows it, how could they expect to hear such a thing.
Today's banquet held by the Hou Mansion is also for the relatives of the two sons of the Hou Mansion, because he is too angry at the behavior of the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion in Zhenyuan, and pities the pitiful appearance of the second lady, he has always been good at fighting and holding grievances, and he and a group of men pushed out to be the first bird, and he also happily felt that he should play this hero who saved the beauty.
But who would have thought that just after saying a word, he was accused by this Gu Qingwan of not abiding by the etiquette law, and was driven out by Miss Zhao. The angry eyes of the ladies were like a glow on their backs.
Jia Renyi hurriedly explained: "I just can't see the eldest lady of the Gu family bullying others, bullying her sister, coming out to say a fair word, and having no intention of offending the young ladies!" β
Gu Qingwan frowned, and said unhappily, "Which eye did you see me bullying my sister?" Did I beat her, or did I scold her? I want you to be a dignified seven-foot man, indiscriminately, regardless of etiquette, run into many women's groups, accuse me, do you take all the young ladies in your eyes? Even if I do something that people and gods are angry about, are all the young ladies blind and will not seek justice for the humiliated? β
What Gu Qingyue's master and servant did was childish, ridiculous and disgusting in her eyes, Gu Qingwan used to love this sister very much, she would send her anything good, and she would let her do anything. As a result, she got used to a bad habit of being insatiable, and wanted to snatch everything good from her, even her fiancΓ© hooked up and snatched it away.
Her vain and contrived nature has not changed since she was a child, which makes Gu Qingwan feel disgusting. She really hurts this cousin in vain, not only Gu Qingyue, but the entire second room makes her feel disgusting, and now she has to play with them, she needs to plan slowly and slowly expose their disgusting faces.
The nobles immediately came to their senses, Gu Qingwan had never done anything to her sister from beginning to end, it was always the pair of masters and servants who said to themselves that people were bullying them, and Gu Qingwan only cared about the face of the Hou Mansion and was unwilling to meet them in general.
But this pair of masters and servants have to inch in, and it is really unreasonable to accuse their sister of bullying them, and this inexplicable man is even more annoying, how can he wantonly break into the place where the girls gather? Could it be that he is a prodigal son with bad intentions?
"Miss Zhao, could you please drive people away? Otherwise, we won't be able to stay in the Hou Mansion any longer! "It was the concubine of Zhao Wangfu, Ji Rou, Ji Han's sister, although she looked elegant, she was also a fiery temper, and she couldn't see this kind of pretending to be a weak and pitiful woman and a man who didn't abide by the law.
"This son, you better go, don't worry about me, I'm fine, it's really fine!" Gu Qingyue couldn't let this man who was finally willing to come out and speak for her be driven away like this, so she blinked her big teary eyes and pretended to be strong.
But the eyes were clearly full of expectation and pleading, which made Jia Renyi's heart melt, such a delicate young lady is really pitiful.
So he didn't care about being driven away, he stood up straight with righteousness and awe, and said to the young ladies: "Ladies and gentlemen, Jia has no intention of offending, but he can't bear to watch such a vicious woman bully his sister and stand by, you look at Miss Gu Er, they are all crying into tears, if it is not for the great humiliation, how can it be?" Kneeling and begging for mercy like this in front of outsiders, doesn't she know that she is embarrassed? It can be seen that it is the desperate who was bullied by this sister to be like this! β
As soon as these words came out, the ladies who watched the play began to frown, and their hearts were full of doubts, could it be that this Miss Gu is really vicious? This kind of thing is not uncommon, there are many sisters in the big family who bully their sisters, if they are not greatly wronged, who is willing to kneel and beg for mercy in public?
Everyone began to whisper, discussing what was right and wrong, Gu Qingyue listened to it in her ears and smiled in her heart, how did Gu Qingwan turn over now, as long as her notoriety spread, no one would dare to marry a vicious woman again. Coupled with her mother's schemes, her life was ruined.
Seeing that the direction of public opinion was inclined to Gu Qingyue, Zhao Yueli was also a little embarrassed, after all, Gu Qingyue was her good friend. But in the past, Gu Qingyue never told her about her sister bullying her.
Hasn't it always been said that Gu Qingwan is an arrogant and stupid sister, and she can't be on the stage at all? Why did you say that your sister bullied her in every way at home today?
Zhao Yueli has a straightforward temperament, but it doesn't mean that she is stupid, plus she has had many contacts with Gu Qingyue, and knows the general situation of the Gu family, Gu Qingyue's mother Lu has a very high status in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion has always been taken care of by the second room, how can she let her daughter suffer such a big grievance?
And Gu Qingyue is obviously very favored, her food and clothing are excellent, and some of them can't even be easily used by her, the concubine of the Hou Ye.
She glanced at Gu Qingwan, who had been calm and unhurried, and her face was like water, and she couldn't see the symptoms of her anger at all, if it was her, whether she had really bullied her sister or not, she would definitely be angry if she was accused in public like this, right? I guess it's time to pounce and hit someone.
But this Gu Qingwan didn't, there was always a light smile on the corner of her mouth, her eyes were as clear as water, as if she was watching a play from the outside, wasn't she angry or scared at all? If her reputation is stained, then how will she be in the future?
This is the first time she has participated in the communication of the noble circle, and if she loses her reputation this time, it will be almost impossible to gain a foothold in the noble circle in the future.
She suddenly understood, this should be the result Gu Qingyue wanted, right? Otherwise, why would she have to blame her sister at this time? Zhao Yueli frowned, she was very disappointed in Gu Qingyue, even if she didn't get along with her sister, she shouldn't use such a vicious method.
"Sister Wan......" Zhao Yueli said in embarrassment, as if she wanted to persuade her, but she didn't know what to say, the situation in front of her was difficult to clean up, and she didn't know how to help her.
Gu Qingwan listened to her words, looked at her eyes again, smiled at her lightly, and said with her mouth: It's okay.
She knew that Zhao Yueli had seen through Gu Qingyue's poisonous plan, so it was okay, so that she would not fall for Gu Qingyue again in the future, this girl had a good character and a straightforward personality, and she should not be harmed by Gu Qingyue like in her previous life.
Gu Qingyue's little trick, she still doesn't pay attention to it, when a person comes out of hell, what else does she have to fear? This life is all picked up, if people don't even care about their own lives, then what are they afraid of?
"Jia Gongzi, is it?" Gu Qingwan said with a smile on her face, not angry.
Jia Renyi was stunned, what's the matter with this girl, why is she still laughing at this time? And she didn't seem to be worried or annoyed at all when she looked like that.
He nodded loudly and didn't answer, but kept observing Gu Qingwan's expression.
Gu Qingwan also nodded, and said quietly: "Presumably, you are the eldest son of Lord Yin Jia of Shuntian Mansion, since Ling Zun is in charge of Shuntian Mansion, then presumably Master Jia should be very familiar with the laws of the Great Zhou, right?" β
Jia Renyi frowned, I don't know why Gu Qingwan wanted to discuss the laws of the Great Zhou at this time, what does this have to do with this matter?
But when it comes to his name, naturally he can't say that he is not familiar with it, how can he be a father who is Fu Yin and has a son who doesn't even understand the law? He nodded again, and said quite self-assuredly: "This is natural, this son has been familiar with the law since he was a child!" β
Gu Qingwan continued to nod and smile, and then said, "In this case, I don't know anything, and I hope that Gongzi will give me some advice!" β
Seeing Gu Qingwan's sincere and humble attitude, Jia Renyi felt that he should be merciful and guide her, so he raised his chin slightly and said, "Miss Gu, although she said it, Jia must know everything!" β
