Chapter 72: Fate

A few tricks were exchanged for Gu Yilan's formal return gift, and Xie Shurou was a little surprised. Of course, she didn't dare to take advantage of other people's heroines, so she wrapped some decent gifts and sent them back.

Of course, Xie Shurou's gift to Gu Yilan is not like the one for Mu Hongsheng, it was carefully prepared, what she gave to Gu Yilan was just some common gifts popular among the nobles of the family in Beijing now, valuable but not distracted, just like the gift Gu Yilan gave her.

Later, this face-saving return gift seemed to be the beginning of the harmonious relationship between Gu Yilan and Xie Shurou. Of course, Xie Shurou and Gu Yilan actually know each other's unintentional gift-giving attitude, but this doesn't prevent them from expressing a friendly attitude towards each other, does it?

After all, Xie Shurou had seen the silk butterfly that Gu Yilan gave to Mu Hongsheng, and Gu Yilan had also seen Xie Shurou make a kitten purse for Mu Hongsheng.

So Gu Yilan personally made a large box of silk flowers for Mu Hongsheng, but the expensive cloud silk handkerchief given to Xie Shurou was bought from outside. And Xie Shurou will never be able to make a fluffy rabbit for Gu Yilan, but the silk fan she turned out of the box and sent a gift in return is also very expensive, an inch of silk is an inch of gold!

Xie Shurou has been at home for several months, and she actually wants to meet Mu Hongsheng, but unfortunately the little girl of the Mu family rarely goes out, and she has no chance to meet.

In the first month, Grandma Xie wanted to take Xie Shurou out to pay homage, Xie Shurou didn't want to go, but the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yongping Marquis Mansion was Grandma Xie's cousin and a serious relative. Grandma Hou personally posted a post to Grandma Xie, pointing out that she wanted her to take Xie Shurou to the banquet together, but Xie Shurou naturally couldn't push it, so she had to go out with Grandma Xie.

Xie Shurou never expected that she would go out to visit a guest for the first time after the New Year, and she actually met Gu Yilan again, the heroine and the vicious female partner, what kind of strange fate is this!

Xie Shurou felt that her negative character must have exploded. In the Yongping Marquis Mansion, she not only saw the heroine Gu Yilan, but also saw the plot opponent Lin Mingyue, Gu Yilan's scum ex-husband Zheng Chongjing, what kind of ragged occasion is this!

It's so unfortunate! Xie Shurou didn't know how to lament her bad luck. Li Yunzheng, who is also a vicious female partner, is not as unlucky as her, and no one from Li Xiang's family was present.

Xie Shurou is really unlucky! Grandma Xie and Grandma Hou haven't seen each other for a long time, and the two sisters want to take advantage of the time when the guests have not yet arrived, and say a few words to themselves, so Grandma Xie left Xie Shurou in the flower hall, and she went to the courtyard of Hou Mansion with Grandma Houfu.

Xie Shurou took her two maids, looked left and right, and saw that no one felt close, so she decided to find a place to sit against the wall and drink tea, as a quiet wallflower, so as to save trouble.

It's a pity that Xie Shurou didn't want to cause trouble, but she had her own legs, such as the handsome young man with a good temperament who had to come over to talk to her.

"Miss Xie, long time no see." Zheng Chongjing smiled gently and politely at Xie Shurou, and the topic of conversation was also very impeccable: "Miss Xie will come to the banquet alone?" Why don't you see the wind? I haven't seen Mu Feng for a long time, and I don't know how he is doing lately. ”

Ahh Xie Shurou had a smile on her face, but she was complaining about Zheng Chongjing in her heart, you are a scumbag, you think you are pretending to be a good person, and my sister doesn't know that you are a scumbag?

Although Xie Shurou was vigilant and impatient, she was not rude on the surface, so she was polite with a fake smile and Zheng Chongjing, while turning her brain to find an excuse to get out quickly.

It's just that Xie Shurou never expected that such a good thing as a savior from heaven could happen to her, a vicious female partner. It was no one else who came to save her, it was Gu Yilan, the plastic sister who exchanged courtesies and courtesies with her every day.

As soon as Gu Yilan arrived at the flower hall, she saw Zheng Chongjing. But it didn't matter to her anymore, and she didn't pay much attention to it.

In fact, after Mrs. Gu took the Gu family sisters into the flower hall, Zheng Chongjing took the initiative to come over to say hello very politely, although Gu Yilan didn't want to deal with him, but she was not rude on her face, and probably because of Mrs. Gu's presence, Zheng Chongjing just said hello to the Gu family's daughters and left in a hurry, just an ordinary greeting, and didn't say a word of superfluity.

After a few years, Gu Yilan still knows Zheng Chongjing. She knew that Zheng Chongjing was actually quite restless, and he was not willing to just be an idle county king, he wanted a higher status and greater power, so it was very important for Zheng Chongjing to marry a wife with a strong background.

Gu Yilan knew that Zheng Chongjing did everything possible to find an opportunity to "meet" her, but it was also because her grandfather was a scholar of Duanming Palace, a strong competitor for the next prime minister.

Later, Gu Yilan also thought that Zheng Chongjing's original fishing target should be more than her, just because she was very stupid and easy to take the bait.

Therefore, Gu Yilan was not surprised to see Zheng Chongjing staring at Xie Shurou, who was sitting alone drinking tea. Xie Xiangyan's granddaughter, her background is not worse than her, is it?

Looking at Xie Shurou, Gu Yilan only hesitated for a short second. After she turned around and said to Mrs. Gu, she walked towards Xie Shurou with a firm step. Maybe Miss Xie is much smarter than she was back then, even if she didn't interfere, she wouldn't easily fall for Zheng Chongjing, but Gu Yilan still couldn't rest assured.

After all, Miss Xie is only fourteen years old, and she is still a child! And Zheng Chongjing is really good at demagogy and disguise, Gu Yilan has made up her mind that she will never let any innocent girl fall into Zheng Chongjing's trap again.

"Sister Xie," Gu Yilan walked up in a few steps, just stopped between Zheng Chongjing and Xie Shurou, and used her back to cover Xie Shurou who was sitting on the chair, separating Zheng Chongjing's gentle gaze at Xie Shurou, "Why are you only here now, I have been waiting for you for a long time." I embroidered the pattern you brought me a while ago, and I was going to show it to you. ”

Xie Shurou, who was trying to find an excuse to get out, was slightly stunned, she didn't know why the heroine was suddenly willing to run over to help her, but handed the ladder in front of her, no, she wasn't a fool?

"Sister Gu," Xie Shurou immediately stood up very smartly, and went to hold Gu Yilan's arm very affectionately, "It's not too late for me to come out of the house, but my sister knows that Grandma Houfu is my aunt, and my mother must let me go to my aunt to say goodbye first, so it's delayed, Sister Lao has been waiting for a long time." ”

"It's good to come," Gu Yilan smiled slightly, and took Xie Shurou in the direction of Mrs. Gu as soon as her footsteps turned, "My grandmother is over there, and she was still chattering just now, my sister will go say hello first, and let's talk together." ”
