Zheng Yuan's shame made her proud upbringing aside, she straightened up, and her voice involuntarily raised: "How dare you say that!" ”

Gu Mingzhu dared to make fun of her, making fun of her for coming to ask about the Cui family before she had made a marriage with Cui Lin, and making fun of her self-righteousness regardless of her face!

Gu Mingzhu laughed, and slowly gathered the satin feather cloak: "The eldest lady thinks what I said is wrong?" Whether it's the Cui family's marriage or the choice of a son, it's all the Cui clan's business, and it's not my turn to be asked by an outsider, and it shouldn't be the eldest lady, right? ”

"If Cui Wulang can't even deal with the affairs of his own clan, then naturally there is no need to mention this."

She just finished speaking calmly, looking at Zheng Yuan without any other expression.

Zheng Yuan was stunned, she didn't expect that she said so much, Gu Mingzhu didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, this was completely different from what she originally expected, but she couldn't just give up!

"Don't you really think about Linlang?" She hurriedly said, "He has been the pride of the Cui family since he was a child, and he was made the son of the sect, and he is the most admired person in the family, can you just watch him have nothing for you?" Was it given up by the Cui family? ”

She didn't wait for Gu Mingzhu's answer, and said to herself: "Linlang may have affection for the county lord, and I also know that you and him may not be willing to give up, I have known Linlang since childhood, after all, it is extraordinary, how can I not watch him ruin his future like this." ”

Zheng Yuan's voice became lower and lower, these words really shouldn't come out of the mouth of a lady from a family, even an ordinary lady of the noble mansion is not so bold, but she can't care about it, she knows Cui Lin best, what Cui Lin decides will not change, and he will definitely find a way to achieve his goal.

Mrs. Cui is afraid that she is no longer reliable, if the Cui Zheng family really does not plan to continue her marriage with Cui Lin, everything will be a foregone conclusion.

She could only come to see Gu Mingzhu.

Gu Mingzhu looked at her: "What is the plan of Mrs. Zheng?" ”

Zheng Yuan's heart was pounding, and she stabilized her mind before she said: "The marriage of the Cui and Zheng families is already imminent, I am willing to match the county lord's sisters, follow the good story of Empress E, and go to Boling Cui's house together." ”

Her words not only surprised Gu Mingzhu, but even the maidservants of the County Lord's Mansion and the Zheng Mansion who served on the side were also shocked, Zheng Yuan actually said this!

Gu Mingzhu looked at her Zheng Yuan's impatient eyes, and sighed secretly in her heart, it seems that she is really panicked, otherwise she would never say these words so disregarding her face and upbringing, in order to be able to marry Cui Lin, she even said such words as Empress E, and she really couldn't care about anything.

She shook her head, stood up with Abi's hand, looked at Zheng Yuan who was looking at her, and sighed: "I thought that the lady who had been taught by the family for hundreds of years was a high-wind festival that was difficult for ordinary people to reach, but now it seems that I was wrong." ”

After saying that, she took Ah Bi and the little maid out of the flower pavilion and went back towards the main hall, ignoring Zheng Yuan, who was sitting there trembling with anger.

Seeing Gu Mingzhu walking away, the maid hurriedly helped Zheng Yuan up, looking at her face was blue, her hands and feet were cold, and she said in fright: "Lady, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zheng Yuan was speechless, Gu Mingzhu actually ignored her kindness at all, and looked at her with disdain, her eyes were full of disdain, looking at her, the eldest lady of the Zheng family.

Obviously, she is the daughter of the family, she should be Cui Lin's wife, and today she should be the one who came up to question Gu Mingzhu, asked her what her identity was, and wanted to cling to the children of the family.

But now she has become a joke, even if she puts down her identity and begs Gu Mingzhu, she would rather marry Cui Lin with her regardless of her concubine, but Gu Mingzhu looks at her with such contemptuous eyes, as if she is a poor worm, begging for her mercy, but she can't get it yet.

This is the biggest humiliation for her!

She sat in the flower pavilion with her face covered, tears couldn't stop flowing from her fingers, and she didn't have the courage to go to the main hall to see Cui Lin anymore.

Gu Mingzhu returned to the main hall, and the banquet had been arranged.

Cui Lin, Cui Yi, and Cui Hai sat on the couch on the left side, separated by a screen is the seat of the female dependent, Gu Mingzhu's couch is on the top, surrounded by Cui Yu, Xu's and Cui Shuang Cui Xue sisters, and another couch is placed aside, empty and unseated, I think it was temporarily added for Zheng Yuan.

Gu Mingzhu's couch and Cui Lin are only separated by a thin lake embroidery screen, and even faintly you can see his tall figure, Gu Mingzhu lowered his head and sat down on the couch, and said with a smile with Cui Yu and Xu: "I'm really sorry for delaying for a while." ”

Xu Shi watched her come in, her expression was calm, but Zheng Yuan didn't come over, and she guessed in her heart, and said with a smile: "It's okay, the scenery of this village is really good, the small bridge and flowing water, look at the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, I came to see it today, and I was reluctant to walk away for a long time." ”

is a sleek and flexible, Gu Mingzhu appreciated Xu's more points, and smiled and accepted her kindness: "The second lady has been to Jiangnan?" ”

Xu Shi smiled and poured a glass of wine, raised his glass to Gu Mingzhu, put it down and said: "My mother's family is Yangzhou Xu's, I grew up in Jiangnan since I was a child, and later returned to my home before I came to Yangcheng. ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled with her and asked about the customs of Yangzhou, Xu Shi was also talkative, and everyone at the table was full of interest in a few words, and chatted on this topic.

Cui Yu also looked at them with a slight smile, but glanced at the couch mat that was always empty, called the little maid over, and told her to go to the courtyard to see how Mrs. Zheng was.

It's just that the little maid went on a trip and came back, whispering in her ear that Zheng Yuan had already hurried out of Zhuangzi and returned to Chang'an with someone.

This is strange, isn't she full of anticipation to see Cui Lin before rushing to leave the village, why did she leave the banquet instead, and didn't even say hello, this is not the gentle and elegant lady Zheng in the past.

Could it be that she went out with Gu Mingzhu to talk in secret, what happened?

Cui Yu looked at Gu Mingzhu, who was smiling and talking to the upper seat, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Zheng Yuan can be regarded as a smart and thoughtful lady in the family, but in this way, Gu Mingzhu can only go in such a hurry, it can be seen that this Lingling County Lord is really not simple.

Thinking of the melancholy look on Mrs. Cui's face when she left, she pulled her and chattered, originally Cui Lin should have found a lady from a family, but now he fell in love with the county lord of Lingling, but the county lord was unintentional, I don't know whether to be angry, or whether it should be good for Cui Lin's unevenness, Cui Yu couldn't help laughing, the eldest lady was afraid that she would still look away, and the two in front of her had already had a mind.
