I'm reborn, only a fool would spoil you

Qiaomei and Nong Yue saw clearly the reactions of Lady Rongguo and the Crown Prince Cheng Dingyu.

If it were an ordinary family, they would definitely not let the family disgrace be made public, so they would quickly cover it up and take the guests to another road... to avoid it.

But Qiaomei and Nong Yue were both Fu Yuzheng's confidants, and they knew very well that their master had done it on purpose, deliberately posting the invitation to invite Cheng Dingyu and his family to come and discover the incident.

The purpose is obvious, which is to severely punish Gao Shu and make her lose everything completely!

——Not only was my brother crippled, my mother lost her housekeeping rights and had to kneel in the ancestral hall, and even my fiancé had to despise her and abandon her!

Therefore, Qiaomei and Nongyue not only did not take the wife of Duke Rong and her family to avoid suspicion, but also said with a smile: "Madam Rong, Master, Linfeng Courtyard is just ahead. Just turn around the bush and you will arrive."

This was to encourage them to keep going, so that they could see Gao Shu's madness more clearly, and spread the news to the whole capital in the future.

So that Gao Shu would follow in the footsteps of Lin and Gao Yan.

——She also completely became a laughing stock in the capital, and became the object of ridicule by a group of noble ladies and girls after dinner.

After turning a corner of a clump of flowers and trees, Lady Rong and her entourage indeed saw Gao Shu. Gao Shu had banged on the door until her hands were hurt, and she had started kicking it.

With red eyes, he kicked and cursed loudly.

The movement was so intense that the golden hairpin on her head fell off, and her black hair fluttered in the late autumn wind.

That image, wow, is no different from a crazy woman on the street!

Seeing this, Lady Rongguo and her entourage frowned and pouted in disgust.

Duke Rong's two daughters were even more outspoken.

The eldest daughter tugged at her mother's sleeve and said, "Mom, you're not going to let a crazy woman like this become my sister-in-law, are you? That's too scary!"

The younger daughter looked at her brother Cheng Dingyu distressedly: "Brother, you are not really going to marry her, are you? It's too unfair!"

Cheng Dingyu's face had already turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

At this time, Gao Shu, who had been screaming, finally realized something was wrong. She turned around and saw her future mother-in-law, Lady Rong, and her fiancé Cheng Dingyu...a family of four standing behind her.

Gao Shu's mouth, which had been shouting non-stop, suddenly froze!

It took her a long while to find her voice again. She quickly gathered her loose hair with her claws, took a step forward and stood in front of the wife of Duke Rong, trying to force a smile and call her "Aunt" sweetly.

Unexpectedly, before he could even finish his words, Lady Rongguo turned her eyes away in disdain and said with disgust, "Where did this crazy woman come from? Get out of here!"

After saying that, he took his children and walked straight around Gao Shu and ran towards the vermilion gate of the courtyard.

Gao Shu: ???

She had always been high and mighty, and had never been looked down upon like this before. She froze to the ground in an instant, completely unable to react.

When Qiaomei saw this, she couldn't help but smile secretly.

Apart from anything else, the wife of Duke Rong was a very capable person. She knew exactly where to stand at this moment, how to embarrass Gao Shu, and how to make Fu Yuzheng feel at ease.

After Qiaomei giggled, she took a step forward, picked up the copper ring on the gate and knocked three times, then said in a loud voice:

"Reporting to Madam Young, the wife of Duke Rong and her family are here to pick her up."

After saying that, he continued to stand outside the gate and wait.

If it were an ordinary family, when guests came, they would open the gate and warmly welcome them, and the host might even go out of the gate early to greet them.

But this is Linfengyuan, a place with high nickel content, so it is naturally different from ordinary people.

Look, the wife of Duke Rong is leading her children, waiting outside the courtyard gate in an orderly manner, holding their breath, and waiting patiently for Fu Yuzheng to meet them.

Tsk tsk tsk, Gao Shu saw with her own eyes that their attitude towards her and Fu Yuzheng were completely different!

——How arrogant he is in front of me, how humble and respectful he is in front of Fu Yuzheng!

There is a world of difference indeed!

This made Gao Shu's usually proud heart feel as if it was being tightly grasped by a big black hand, making it difficult for her to breathe!

At this moment, the vermilion courtyard gate slowly opened, and another maidservant came out to greet us, smiling and leading the way:

"Madam Rong, please come this way. Our young mistress is in the pavilion in the back garden right now."

After hearing this, Lady Rongguogong hurriedly smiled and nodded, then led her children there immediately.

Gao Shu: ???

In an ordinary family, when meeting a guest for the first time, they would be politely ushered into the main hall for reception. How could someone like Fu Yuzheng casually receive the guest in the pavilion in the back garden?

What’s even more bizarre is that not only did the wife of Duke Rong not feel that she was being neglected, she also walked quickly towards them with a look of excitement on her face?

Gao Shu clenched her fists, and suddenly took a few quick steps to catch up, trying to sow discord:

"Aunt, Cheng Dingyu, Fu Yuzheng looks down on you. Look, she didn't even invite you to the main hall for tea, but went straight to the back garden to perfunctorily handle it..."

Unexpectedly, no one paid any attention to her.

Lady Rong and her entourage seemed to hear nothing and continued to smile brightly, their eyes full of appreciation for the unique scenery in Linfeng Courtyard.

When Gao Shu saw this, the unknown big hand wrapped around her heart... suddenly clenched even tighter!

She covered her chest with her hands in pain and continued to move forward.

Unexpectedly, before she stepped into the courtyard, the vermilion door creaked and slammed shut in front of her.

Gao Shu had no time to stop or dodge, only to hear a loud bang...

The heavy door panel hit her forehead hard!

She was knocked back several steps and eventually lost her balance and fell backwards to the ground in a mess!

This sudden pain was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing Gao Shu to burst into tears...

In the pavilion in the back garden.

Fu Yuzheng sat dignifiedly in the main seat. She saw the wife of Duke Rong and her entourage coming from afar, but she did not stand up. Instead, she continued to drink tea leisurely.

It was not until they arrived at the pavilion that Fu Yuzheng, with the help of her maid, stood up gracefully, stood beside the stone table and said with a polite smile:

"Please take a seat, Madam Rong. I am a young daughter-in-law. Please bear with me if I have not treated you well enough."

How could the wife of Duke Rong dare to take advantage of her seniority? She quickly smiled and complimented him many times before she dared to sit down.

Her son Cheng Dingyu and two daughters did not dare to sit down at all, and all stood obediently beside their mother. It was not until Fu Yuzheng smiled and asked them to sit together that they dared to sit down.

Lady Rong first told some anecdotes to amuse Fu Yuzheng. As she was talking, she suddenly sent her son Cheng Dingyu and two daughters to the outside of the pavilion to appreciate the flowers.

At this time, Lady Rong put away her smile and spoke seriously to Fu Yuzheng:

"Madam Gao, I heard that you are now the head of the Zhenguo Mansion. I... have something I want to discuss with you."

Fu Yuzheng smiled and said, "Madam Rongguo, please feel free to speak."

As expected, Lady Rongguo said bluntly, "Mrs. Gao must also know that my eldest son is engaged to Miss Gao Shu from your mansion."

"But, forgive me for being blunt," Lady Rongguo pouted and said with disdain, "My son can never stand Gao Shu's self-righteous temper."

"Whenever they meet, they either quarrel or have a cold war. There is no sweet moment at all. If they really get married, it would be just a feud!"

"So, I'm wondering if the two families can break off the engagement peacefully?"

After hearing these words, Fu Yuzheng immediately realized that today's goal had been achieved.

However, there are some things that cannot be done by oneself, so as not to give others something to talk about.

Therefore, Fu Yuzheng politely declined:

"Madam Rong, I understand what you mean. But the engagement was not arranged by me. You should consult my grandmother about this matter."

The wife of Duke Rong was a person who understood things quickly. She immediately smiled and flattered, "Yes, yes, yes, I am getting old and confused."

After having lunch at Linfeng Courtyard, Lady Rongguo went to Old Lady Gao's Cishuiju to discuss the cancellation of the engagement.

Break off the engagement?

This had happened once a few years ago, so when Mrs. Gao heard the word again, she was no longer surprised.

Especially after Gao Shu's asshole behavior today, not to mention Lady Rong, even Old Madam Gao herself felt her scalp tingling after hearing it. If Lady Rong still happily continues to prepare for the wedding, that would be weird!

So, when the topic of canceling the engagement was raised this time, Madam Gao didn't even try to persuade him to stay, but simply nodded in agreement.

Just like that, Cheng Dingyu, the eldest son of the Rongguo Mansion, smoothly... kicked Gao Shu away!

From then on, the two had nothing to do with each other!

~

Gao Shu returned to her little yard crying. Because of the bad experience she had today, she laid on her pillow and sobbed bitterly.

I cried so much that I was so tired that I fell asleep.

After falling asleep, she had a beautiful dream (actually, it was about her previous life).

In the dream, she sat in a sedan chair carried by eight people, with a huge dowry that was several times more than that of other noble ladies (Fu Yuzheng paid for it out of her own pocket in the previous life). She married into the Rongguo Mansion in a grand manner as the most beloved niece of Empress Gao, the only legitimate daughter of the Zhenguo Duke, and the only sister of the top scholar Gao Yan.

Once you get married, you will be the prince's wife, a noble and precious woman.

The maids and servants from her husband's family followed her closely, saying sweetly "Congratulations to the Crown Prince's wife, congratulations to the Crown Prince's wife" and other festive words to congratulate the newlyweds.

And her husband Cheng Dingyu also treated her with great respect and doted on her.

Especially on the wedding night, when the red veil was lifted, Gao Shu saw with her own eyes the love and respect for her in Cheng Dingyu's eyes.

During the marriage consummation, Cheng Dingyu was extremely satisfied with her body, and he kept panting and saying:

"Shu'er, being able to marry you is the blessing that I, Cheng Dingyu, have cultivated for three lifetimes..."

I was having a beautiful dream when I was suddenly awakened by a scream.

The head maid ran to the bed in a hurry and said anxiously, "Miss, Miss, something terrible has happened. The young master of the Duke of Rong's Mansion has broken off your engagement!"

Gao Shu: ???

He was obviously confused and seemed to have not understood anything.

Didn't they just get married? Wasn't Cheng Dingyu very satisfied with her body? Why did he say "cancel the engagement"?

It was not until the head maid repeated it three times that Gao Shu looked at her deserted boudoir and gradually came to her senses.

——It turns out that "after getting married, Cheng Dingyu was extremely satisfied with her" only happened in dreams.

——The reality is completely the opposite, Cheng Dingyu hates her to death! He went to the banquet today and canceled the marriage!

"No, no, no..."

"Cheng Dingyu, you can't do this to me, you can't--"

Speaking of which, Gao Shu was once extremely dissatisfied with Cheng Dingyu and repeatedly provoked him, "Cancel the engagement if you want, who's afraid of who?"

But when the moment of breaking off the engagement really came, Gao Shu, who always thought highly of herself, felt a burning pain on her face.

Losing face!

"Oh, God, you are blind. Why do you treat Fu Yuzheng so well but are so cruel to me——"

"Oh my God, you have no eyes——"

Gao Shu covered her face and broke down crying.

But no matter how much she cried, there was no chance of saving the marriage.

In just two days, the three of them, mother and son, first Gao Yan killed his wife, causing a huge uproar, then their mother Lin was locked up in the ancestral hall and deprived of her housekeeper rights, and finally she was despised by her fiancé and had to break off the engagement.

The Lin family is truly...misfortunes never come alone!

For a while, rumors spread everywhere in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, all of which were mocking the three unlucky people, the mother and son of the Lin family.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the top beam is crooked and the bottom beam is crooked, the retribution is not bad!"

"Three unlucky people from one family is a rare and bizarre story in the world."

"Lin and Gao Shu are always so arrogant, but they won't be able to act so arrogant anymore, right?"

~

It is said that after seeing off the wife of Duke Rong and her entourage, Fu Yuzheng had nothing to do, so she asked Qiaomei to place a rocking chair in the bamboo forest on the east side of the yard.

Fu Yuzheng lay on it, rocking back and forth.

While swaying, he looked up at the golden glow in the sky.

The flowing clouds changed rapidly, sometimes transforming into a horse, and sometimes transforming into a handsome young man.

Looking at the young man in the clouds, Fu Yuzheng suddenly missed her boyfriend.

"What is Brother Nickel doing? Is he missing me too?"

Oh, missing someone is really poisonous. Once it starts, it is hard to get rid of it from your mind.

"Qiaomei, harness the carriage."

Finally, near dusk, Fu Yuzheng decided to take action and go directly to the Jinyiwei guard post... to pick up Gao Ni from his duty and bring him back home.

Unexpectedly, while the carriage was on the way, at a three-way intersection, it unexpectedly encountered the carriage of the Mu Mansion.

"Hey, is it my sister going out?" Fu Yuzheng leaned against the window, looking at the carriage turning from another road with great joy.

Just as she was guessing, the carriage suddenly stopped by the roadside. When the curtain was lifted, it was not her sister who got out of the carriage, but Dieyi.

Although she is not my sister, I still feel very close to Dieyi when I see her.

"Dieyi, Dieyi——" Fu Yuzheng immediately leaned out of the car window and waved the white handkerchief in her hand desperately.

However, the street was too noisy and Dieyi over there didn't react at all.

Just when Fu Yuzheng was about to send a servant over to call out, she saw Dieyi jump off the carriage and quickly jump onto a fast horse.

With a roar of "Gee--" he galloped away.

Fu Yuzheng: ...

So, I saw Dieyi in vain today.

Unexpectedly, after Fu Yuzheng's carriage continued to move forward for two more streets, she actually met Dieyi again - she tied the horse to a tree trunk on the side of the road and turned around and walked into a grocery store.

When he came out again, Dieyi was holding several large bunches of red dried chilies in his hands.

The grocery store owner followed out and loudly imparted the secret: "Girl, if you want the chili sauce to be fried well, you have to add some sugar to enhance the flavor."

Dieyi turned around and smiled: "Thank you, I know."

Fu Yuzheng: ???

The princess of the Southwest Mu Mansion wants to eat chili sauce, but does she need to fry it herself?

Could it be that Dieyi has this kind of hobby?

Just as I was thinking about it, I saw Dieyi riding her horse again. When she reached the next three-way intersection, she turned into the alley to the east without hesitation.

At first Fu Yuzheng didn't react much when she saw it, but then she thought something was wrong, because that alley only led to one place - the Ministry of Revenue.

Hube?

Fu Yuzheng's heart skipped a beat when she suddenly remembered something.

No way, could it be that Dieyi hasn't given up yet and still has secret feelings for her brother Fu Linghao? She's chasing him all the way to the Ministry of Revenue?

Fu Yuzheng couldn't help but bite her lips.
