The autumn wind blew through the few fallen leaves in front of the mansion, and the wheels of the carriage rolled over the hard bluestone slabs, making a "creaking" sound. Gu Lanting lifted the sideburns scattered in front of her forehead, and only when the carriage that was moving away turned into a black dot did she turn around and go back to the house.

Did you go to the palace? The corners of Gu Lanting's mouth curved slightly, and he pouted with a faint mockery.

The small Buddha hall enshrines the spirit card of the Yan family, and no one has come to clean it these days, and the table is covered with a thick layer of dust.

Gu Lanting wiped it carefully, there was a sound of Sisuo at the door, the curtain was lifted, she didn't even bother to turn her head back, put the tributes on the table one by one, and added incense sticks in front of Yan's spirit card.

"Big sister." Gu Qianqian shouted, not as gentle as she was in front of Gu Zhenglin on weekdays, but a little more cold.

"If you have something, just say it." She looked at the mist of incense rising from the ethereal incense, and her eyes sank slightly.

"The eldest sister must be very heartbroken, right? After being away from home for so long, he almost took his life for the sake of the Gu family, but he didn't even have a stick of incense in front of his mother's card. ”

For the sake of the family? Oh, that's ridiculous!

Gu Lanting turned around slowly, with a bit of playfulness on his face: "I'm not like you and Chen Rongfang, I can only rely on the Gu family to live, and I sell miserably in front of my father every day, do you think it's very meaningful?" ”

"Pity you, you don't even have a chance to sell miserably." Gu Qianqian snorted lightly, with a look of indifference: "Father is more willing to believe in us, and you, maybe tomorrow, will be the day you are kicked out of the Hou Mansion." ”

"Oh?" Gu Lanting was a little interested, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Tell me, so that I can also be prepared." ”

"Are you scared?" Gu Qianqian was a little proud, she walked up to Gu Lanting, raised her delicate and innocent-looking face, blinked her eyes and said, "Father has entered the palace, what you did to my mother and the future prince of the Hou Mansion in her belly today, he will show the emperor one by one." ”

"Hmm." Gu Lanting nodded cautiously and encouraged her to continue.

"Then he will ask the emperor for a decree to marry my mother as Mrs. Houfu, oh, by the way, this decree is in exchange for the merits you have made for the Gu family."

"Hearing you say this, I won the battle and made a wedding dress for someone."

"You're stupid." Gu Qianqian smiled: "If I were you, I would leave now, so as not to be regarded as a joke." ”

Is this unbearable? The eight characters haven't been brushed up yet, and now they are used to show off their might, she really overestimated Gu Qianqian's city government.

Gu Lanting lowered his eyes and pressed the folds of his cuffs: "Let's get out when I'm done." ”

"Eldest sister, don't be too sad, then you beg my mother, maybe she will be merciful and leave you?"

Gu Qianqian only thought that Gu Lanting was frustrated, she held her head high with satisfaction, as if she was the Miss Yan of the Hou Mansion, and left arrogantly.

The city gate drum of Jinling rang six times in succession, the twilight was heavy, the black city gate "knocked" to close, thousands of lights, Jinling was caged in the curling smoke, peaceful and tranquil.

"Qianqian, what time has it been, why hasn't Master Hou returned home yet?" Chen Rongfang half leaned on the pillow, and always felt a little apprehensive in her heart.

Gu Qianqian also felt that something was unusual, but she still comforted Chen Rongfang: "Mother, there is something to delay, let's wait." ”

As the two were talking, the maid who was waiting outside the house lifted the curtain of the door, and Gu Zhenglin showed his head and looked at them with a happy face.
