Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

Xiao Ruyan returned to the Xiao family's house in the capital in a daze.

As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even in a place like the inner city of the capital, where every inch of land is expensive, the mansion where the Xiao family temporarily lives still has hundreds of acres.

After walking through the long corridor and returning to the boudoir, the tears on Xiao Ruyan's face had already been dried by the wind, but her heart was as bleak as the cool autumn wind.

"Miss, don't be sad." Maid Shen Yue thoughtfully covered her tears with powder, and comforted her in a low voice, "You are just a small fourth-rank official, and with your status, it is easy for you to join the Hou's residence... ..."

Shen Yue said half of what she said, but she swallowed it back under Xiao Ruyan's cold eyes, secretly distressed in her heart, why did she forget about her young lady's thoughts.

Although the family background of the Hou's mansion is high, the Hou Ye is already an old man over fifty years old... The young lady is in her prime, so why would she want to marry a crappy old man?

Just as the master and servant were talking, a hoarse voice sounded outside the door.

"You went to Pei Mansion."

Old Mrs. Xiao had silver hair, and she looked more majestic under the sun. She stared at Xiao Ruyan coldly, as if she saw something unclean, and she was extremely disgusted.

"You didn't take my words to heart!" Mrs. Xiao threw her cane heavily on the ground, making a dull sound, making the serving servants feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Xiao Ruyan looked at this young and beautiful face in the bronze mirror, and resentment spread from her heart inch by inch.

"Why is grandma so cruel?" Tears flashed in her eyes, "Since I can find a way out, why did grandma force me to marry Marquis Weiyuan? He is older than grandpa!"

"The way out?" Mrs. Xiao sneered mercilessly, "What you call the way out is to marry a fourth-rank official?"

Mrs. Xiao's sarcastic eyes were like sharp arrows, which made Xiao Ruyan feel humiliated.

"So what about a fourth-rank official? It's better than a bad old man!" She said bitterly, "If you want to marry the Marquis of Weiyuan, you don't necessarily have to marry me. Marquis Wei's daughter has just turned eighteen. Wouldn’t it be enough for my younger brother to marry her?”

With a crisp sound of "slap", a heavy slap was slapped on Xiao Ruyan's face.

Mrs. Xiao stared at her coldly, as if she was looking at her enemy.

"Idiot!" She reprimanded sharply, "Your younger brother is going to be an official in the court, how can he have a relationship with the Weiyuan Marquis?"

Wei Yuanhou has the face of the emperor, but everyone regards him as treacherous. The Xiao family prides themselves on being famous and pure, so naturally they will not allow their eldest grandson to marry Wei Yuanhou's daughter.

Xiao Ruyan covered her face, and smiled softly: "What about me? I'm just a tool in the eyes of my grandmother? Use the happiness of the rest of my life to pave the way for my younger brother?"

For a moment, she met Mrs. Shang Xiao's sinister eyes, and said word by word: "Weiyuanhou is over fifty years old, and there is no child in the family who can support the lintel of the Houfu. Once he dies, all the glory of the Weiyuanhoufu will be destroyed." will no longer exist, but the Xie Yan is different."

She said slowly: "Xie Yan is so young, he has already entered the eyes of the emperor. If things go on like this, how does grandma know that he will not sit in Weiyuanhou's current position? One is Weiyuanhou who is getting old, and the other is Weiyuanhou. Rising star, doesn't grandma know who to choose?"

The room fell into silence.

After a long time, Mrs. Xiao sneered: "You have some truths in what you say, but the problem now is... Xie Yan doesn't want to marry you!"

"I……"

"I am the real grandmother who raised you, so why can't I see your eccentricity?" Mrs. Xiao said indifferently, "Xie Yan is a smart person, and he must have figured out who was behind the scenes who drove him away."

"I stopped you from seeing him because of what happened back then, but you went to visit him with peace of mind and wanted to continue your relationship with him!" Mrs. Xiao sighed, holding Xiao Ruyan's sad sheet of paper. With a small face like a white paper, "You came back crying today, isn't it because he rejected you?"

Xiao Ruyan's lips trembled, she opened her mouth, wanting to explain to Mrs. Xiao, but what appeared in front of her eyes was Xie Yan's cold eyes today.

Five years is enough to change a person.

Xiao Ruyan sat slumped on the ground, her dress was covered with dust, but she who was always happy and clean seemed to have never heard of it.

For a moment, meeting Mrs. Xiao's pitiful eyes, she whispered: "Grandmother, give me some more time."

Old Mrs. Xiao smiled: "Ruyan, don't make Weiyuan Hou Mansion wait too long."

She left, and the servants followed.

Shen Yue quickly helped Xiao Ruyan up: "Miss, why are you bothering? There is nothing wrong with marrying Marquis Weiyuan, once you go, you will be Mrs. Hou, if you can give birth to a boy, then you will be your son..."

"Enough!" After hearing enough of these persuasions, Xiao Ruyan's eyes were so cold that they could hurt people.

Seeing that Shen Yue closed her chattering mouth, Xiao Ruyan just closed her eyes and sighed slowly.

"Go and stare at Pei Mansion!" Xiao Ruyan gritted his teeth word by word, "I want to know who that maid is!"

She is the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, with a noble status, how can she be compared to a humble maid?It must have been some insidious method that the maid used to seduce Yan Lang into obsession!

……

At the same time, Pei's family also attracted a rare visitor.

Pei Anlin sat down on the chair decisively, and drank the hot tea in the cup in one gulp.

Gu Zhiyuan took a sip of his tea, and seeing Pei Anlin's vulgar movements from the corner of his eye, he suddenly felt disdainful.

"What are you here for?" Pei Anlin naturally didn't miss the flash of disdain in his eyes, and sneered, "Could it be that he came to ask for a beating knowing that his father is back?"

After the words were finished, Gu Zhiyuan shook his hand, and the tea almost splashed all over him.

"Brother's words are wrong." Gu Zhiyuan lowered his head and replied modestly, "I miss the Princess."

Pei Anlin glanced at him with a half-smile, seeing him pretending, felt even more ridiculous in his heart: "You said you came to see Anyang? Could it be that Mr. Gu encountered some difficulties in the officialdom and wanted the Pei family to come forward to smooth things over for you?"

Hearing these harsh words, Gu Zhiyuan clenched his hands secretly.

He lowered his head, seemingly unable to express his grievances: "Brother, I have a sincere heart for the Princess, and I have never been greedy for the power of the Pei family."

As he spoke, he puffed up his chest, and said every word loudly: "If you don't believe me, brother, you might as well ask your colleagues. I haven't encountered any difficulties."

Taking advantage of the opportunity of drinking tea, Pei Anlin covered up the sarcasm in his eyes.

Of course, Gu Zhiyuan won't encounter any difficulties, the Pei family is his amulet, what's hateful is that this guy has been honored by the Pei family, not only doesn't know how to be grateful, but also harms Anyang, and even pretends to be so noble!

"Okay." Pei Anlin didn't bother to talk to him, so he just waved, and a guard came quickly.

"Send Master Gu to the Princess."

Gu Zhiyuan thought he had passed the test, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

But just after Pei Anlin finished speaking, he sized up Gu Zhiyuan in disgust, and said in disgust: "Remember to let Mr. Gu wash it first, Anyang can't stand any evil spirits!"

"Yes."

Gu Zhiyuan followed the guards to the inner courtyard, the anger in his heart burning all the time.

For more than twenty years, every time he came to Pei's house, he faced such stinky faces, as if they were high-ranking nobles, and he was just a bug in the gutter, who was only worthy of looking up to them!

Walking through the atrium all the way, Gu Zhiyuan looked at these furnishings greedily, his ambition was extremely inflated.

It won't be long before all these good things from the Pei family will be in his hands!if only……

"Master Gu, the clean room is on the right." The guard's words interrupted his reverie.

With a stiff and gentle smile on his face, Gu Zhiyuan strode into the clean room.

He clenched his hands secretly, suppressing the resentment in his heart one by one.

In any case, superficial skills must always be done well.

This is Pei Anyang's boudoir when he was not married. All the decorations were carefully selected by the eldest princess, and all of them are high-quality goods.

But all of this was covered by the heavy smell of medicine.

When everyone came in, the first thing they saw was not those precious vases and jade stones, but Pei Anyang who was dying on the bed.

"Anyang..."

When Gu Zhiyuan saw Pei Anyang, his face was properly filled with worry and eagerness.

Regardless of the complicated eyes of the nanny beside him, he eagerly walked to Pei Anyang's side, and gently held her hand.

As soon as he touched Pei Anyang's hand, a pimple appeared on Gu Zhiyuan's back.

In the past, Pei Anyang was a sick beauty, every frown and smile was pitiful, but now Pei Anyang is like a dead bone that still has a breath.

She was thinner than before, and her exposed hands were like dead branches, as if they would break if touched.

It seems that the rumors are true, Pei Anyang's life is indeed not long.

While he breathed a sigh of relief, he secretly felt sad.

Once Pei Anyang died, the only connection he had with the Pei family was Gu Ning.

That little bastard Gu Ning doesn't care about the relationship between father and daughter.

Thinking of this, he looked at Pei Anyang even more sadly: "Anyang, I haven't come to see you these few days, can you blame me?"

"Husband works hard on political affairs every day, how can I blame you?" Pei Anyang smiled softly, but just after she finished saying this, she coughed heavily.

Huzhu hurriedly pushed Gu Zhiyuan away, and skillfully brought the teacup to Pei Anyang's lips: "Princess, Doctor Zhou has told you not to talk on weekdays."

After that, she cut her eyes to Gu Zhiyuan again.

Gu Zhiyuan didn't seem to see her eyes, he paced back and forth with self-blame, muttering: "It's all my fault."

But in an instant, he caught another key person from Hu Zhu's words.

"Doctor Zhou?" Gu Zhiyuan seemed puzzled, "Could it be that Courtyard Xiao just doesn't want to come to treat the princess?"

Huzhu snorted coldly when she heard the words, and said proudly: "Doctor Zhou is a genius doctor specially asked by the county lord, and his medical skills are superb, even Xiao Yuanzheng can't compare to it!"

Gu Zhiyuan's heart was shocked, genius doctor?

Then the poison he put on Pei Anyang...

In an instant, Gu Zhiyuan understood why that person asked him to come to Pei's residence specially.

He clenched his hands tightly, pretending to be nonchalant, like an ordinary husband caring for his wife, and said worriedly: "Ning'er is young and innocent, could it be that she was cheated?"

After Pei Anyang took a sip of water, he was about to go back to her, but Hu Zhu took a step ahead.

Hu Zhu said crisply: "Junma, don't underestimate Dr. Zhou. When the princess was critically ill, Dr. Zhou rescued the princess with golden needles."

Hearing this, Gu Zhiyuan's heart was going up and down, and he was even more uneasy.

He smiled, but very reluctantly.

"Where was Doctor Zhou then? I want to see him."

Gu Ning's reputation has not improved, and he is still the county lord who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun in everyone's minds. Therefore, under this situation, Gu Zhiyuan's request is very normal - no one will rest assured that he will entrust a major event to others. on Gu Ning.

Gu Zhiyuan, who thought he was very normal, looked at Pei Anyang worriedly, and naturally missed the sarcasm in Hu Zhu's eyes.

"Okay." Huzhu immediately agreed, "It's just that Dr. Zhou is a bit stubborn, so you have to go and see him, Junma."

Gu Zhiyuan showed displeasure, but he followed Hu Zhu out.

Inside the room, Pei Anyang looked at his back, closed his eyes, and tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes.

really……
