At this moment, Old Madam Gu, after listening to Lu's words, her originally smiling face became gloomy, and she said, "It's really unlucky, I'm sick again on a good day!" You sent someone back to her, so that she didn't have to come out in Luoxingyuan, she was sick and annoying! ”

This eldest daughter-in-law always has all kinds of problems at important moments, and now she can't appear on such an important occasion, which is really a headache for her.

"My sister-in-law really wanted to come to celebrate the old lady's birthday, but when I sent someone to see it just now, my body still couldn't bear it, so I couldn't attend...... The old lady is on her way. Lu comforted the old lady in her mouth, and a happy smile appeared in her eyes, this was her wishful thinking, if Liu, who was the eldest lady of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, did not appear on such an important occasion, it would definitely make people doubt her status in Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.

"Mother, Ying'er has always been in bad health, I think it's also to avoid it, today is your birthday, don't be angry." Gu Tianyuan's persuasion beside him made Old Madam Gu's anger disappear a little

The birthday banquet hall was already very lively, and the troupe also moved to the stage to start singing, while Chenyueyuan was silent here, Gu Qingwan was not in a hurry at all, and still inserted the newly folded plum blossoms in the vase in the house, and Ziyu pulled a group of grandmothers and maids to say something inside.

After a while, Zilan hurriedly walked back from outside, walked to Gu Qingwan's side, and said in a low voice, "Miss, as you expected, Mama Zhen led people to quietly observe the situation in Luoxingyuan, but the eldest lady has already come out of the backyard according to your method, and is now waiting for you." ”

"Well, let's go." Gu Qingwan got up, there was a look of ambition in her eyes, she had been looking forward to it for so long, the show was finally about to begin.

At this moment, almost all the people went to the birthday banquet hall, and no one noticed her, so she took a shortcut and went to the place where the eldest lady was waiting.

But halfway through, Zilan suddenly said nervously, "Miss, slave, slave forgot to take the birthday gift you prepared for the old lady." ”

"Go ahead, don't be nervous, I'll wait for you here." Gu Qingwan said thoughtfully.

"Yes." The two maids hurriedly returned to Chenyue Garden to get the birthday gift.

Gu Qingwan stood on this corridor, she looked at a plum tree in front of her, her eyes were far away, the wind was blowing the plum blossoms, swaying.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the handkerchief in Gu Qingwan's hand fell to the ground, she squatted down and bent down to pick it up, but another gust of wind blew, and the handkerchief flew forward again, until it floated to the branches of the plum tree under the cloister.

Gu Qingwan showed a slight smile on her face, walked over, held the tree with one hand, stood on tiptoe, and went to get the handkerchief with the other, who knows, she didn't reach it after two times, she couldn't help but sigh softly.

"I'll help you." At this moment, a voice came from her ear, and her veil had been taken down from the branch and handed it to her.

Gu Qingwan turned around, slowly raised her head, and suddenly a figure came into her eyes-

I saw that he was dressed in a purple crown dress, restrained, calm, with an angular face, handsome facial features, and obsidian-like condensed eyes looking at her, holding a handkerchief she hung on a branch.

At this moment, the sunlight poured quietly on his body, and a faint layer of light floated around him.

Gu Qingwan took the veil, blessed her body, and said, "Thank you, Ji Shizi." ”

Ji Han looked at the beautiful and dignified woman in front of him, and his heart swelled with inexplicable irritability. She always looks indifferent and detached in front of him, don't say it's Chen Yuan, she treats Liu Yixu closer than him, she can naturally call Liu Yixu's name, treat him as a friend, and make a grimace at him.

But every time this woman faces him, she always rejects him thousands of miles away, this woman has been married to him since childhood, and is his nominal fiancée. But she is not as kind to his fiancé as other men, which makes Ji Han's heart extremely unbalanced.

"If it's okay, I'll go first." Gu Qingwan turned around and wanted to leave.

"Gu Qingwan!" Ji Han stopped her and slowly approached her.

"What's wrong?" Gu Qingwan subconsciously retreated, but was blocked by a tree, she had to stop, calmly raised her head to meet his gaze, her eyes condensed.

"Gu Qingwan, am I terrible?" He asked her very seriously.

"Huh?" Gu Qingwan, who asked this question, was a little caught off guard, her eyes widened, and she looked at him suspiciously, "Lord Shizi, what's wrong with you today?" How could you ask me this question? ”

"Am I scary, that's why you don't want to say a word to me? Gu Qingwan, I, I am your nominal fiancé, you have an ambiguous relationship with other men in front of your fiancé, do you understand shame? He propped up the tree with one arm, and with the other he lifted her chin strongly, forcing her to look at him and look at her directly, his usually cold face distorted with anger.

"You're sick!" Gu Qingwan turned her head and broke away from his hand, looking at him coldly, a little ridicule flashed in her beautiful eyes, "You say I'm shameless?" But dare to ask His Royal Highness, is it against humanity that you, the person who has a marriage contract with me, often have private meetings with my cousin? ”

Her eyes were bright and scary, and there was undisguised anger, ridicule, contempt and disgust in them, Ji Han suddenly felt unreasonable, he withdrew his hand in a sneering manner, and he couldn't reason with her.

"I ......," he was speechless for a moment.

"It's my rudeness, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Prince will not be like a little woman, and I will retire first if I still have something." Gu Qingwan didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she walked in front of him with a salute, and the fluttering corners of her clothes inadvertently brushed the back of Ji Han's hand.

He looked at her distant back, cold and stubborn, he couldn't help but raise his hand and look at the corner of her clothes.

Gu Qingwan turned her back to Ji Han and left his sight step by step. After turning the corner and making sure that Ji Han couldn't see it, she sat down on the horizontal chair in the verandah suddenly, her jade hand was as translucent as jade, and she clutched the railing tightly, and her fingertips were about to grind blood.

The shame of being divorced in her previous life is vivid, Gu Qingyue pretended to be pitiful in front of everyone, which made everyone feel sorry for her, and Ji Han accused her in public of being arrogant and shameless. Obviously, she was the one who was divorced, and she was the one who was framed, and it was Gu Qingyue who made everyone sympathize with her in the end, and she became the object of everyone's ridicule and disdain.

After all this, she felt that she was now benevolent enough to the dog man and woman, and if they still didn't know what to do, don't blame her for being unkind!

"Sister, why are you here?" At this time, Gu Qingzhao saw Gu Qingwan sitting on the horizontal chair in the verandah coming over and asked with concern.

"It turned out to be Zhao'er, Zilan Ziyu forgot to take the birthday gift I prepared for my grandmother, so I asked them to go back and get it, and I was waiting for them here. Why didn't Zhao'er come here from the front hall? Gu Qingwan raised her head, her face had already changed into a gentle and kind face, she smiled slightly, her eyes were peaceful, she looked approachable, making people feel easy to get along with.

"I didn't see my sister in the front hall and wanted to go to Chenyue Garden to find my sister, but I didn't expect to meet my sister here. Sister, let's go together. Gu Qingzhao didn't notice Gu Qingwan's abnormality.

Gu Qingwan shook her head and said, "I'm not angry. But now, you're going to go to the birthday banquet hall first, it's too eye-catching for the two of us to walk together, understand? ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you, be careful, I'll wait for you in the birthday banquet hall." After Gu Qingzhao admonished, he walked quickly in the direction of the birthday banquet hall.

Looking at Gu Qingzhao's distant back, Gu Qingwan had completely regained her usual calm, as if nothing had happened, and walked along a hand-copying verandah in the direction of the birthday banquet hall.

In the banquet hall.

Gu Tianyuan's figure appeared at the door of the birthday banquet hall, standing next to him was the second master Gu Tianyou, and behind Gu Tianyou was the second lady Lu, she was wearing a light purple trimmed embroidered white butterfly pattern out of the wind wool jacket, a white pleated skirt, and a large and a small phoenix hairpin on her head.

She has a delicate face and infinite charm in her eyes, although she is over thirty, but because of proper maintenance, she seems to be in her early twenties.

She slowly swept through the crowd, her eyes met Gu Qingyue in mid-air, and the two mothers and daughters smiled faintly in tacit understanding, tonight will be their mother and daughter's home again, Liu and Gu Qingwan will stand aside.

"The eldest lady has arrived." However, at this time, a loud voice suddenly sounded, and the smile on Lu's face suddenly froze, and he looked in the direction of the entrance in astonishment-

I saw that the eldest lady Liu walked in under the service of many maids and grandmothers, she was wearing a gold-trimmed red shirt with gold sleeves woven all over the place, a goose-yellow chrysanthemum embroidered phoenix tail skirt, a peacock-patterned red feather satin cloak, wearing a Chaoyang five phoenix hanging beaded hairpin, and a bright yellow Ruyi tassel, plus a red gold plate and a red gold circle.

The eldest lady swept away the decadence and frustration of the past, the long-term face now looks bright and moving, the whole person is dignified and noble, showing the demeanor of the housewife, she was born rich and noble, these days she pretends to be seriously ill, but in fact she is recuperating her body and complexion, and now she has basically recovered.

As soon as her eldest lady appeared, she suppressed the limelight of the Lu family, and she was telling everyone that she was the head of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and as long as she was there, everyone else would stand aside.

Lu's face twitched twice, and it took a lot of effort to keep the original smile on her face, but she secretly shouted in her heart, just now she said in front of the old lady that the old lady was very sick The old lady was angry, but now Liu appeared intact in front of everyone, this old lady had to lie to her deliberately, so that Liu could not be present, and wanted to steal the limelight and replace her.

At this time, Liu had already walked in front of Gu Tianyuan and stood beside him.
