Quick Wear: Who said soft girls have to be obedient! biu!

"No need to be polite, cousin. Please sit down."

The tone was gentle and considerate, with a hint of kindness.

A layer of fine particles suddenly appeared on Gu Zhen's back.

The word "cousin" really shouldn't appear in Shen Huaizhi's mouth.

Gu Zhen didn't dare to respond, so she could only speak in fear: "Your Majesty's words are too important. I am a humble girl and a guest here, so I dare not overstep my authority."

There was silence in the study for a moment.

Gu Zhen heard Shen Huaizhi's almost inaudible laughter.

"No problem, please take a seat, cousin."

Gu Zhen had no choice but to sit down, his eyes fixed on the purple bamboo screen opposite.

This prince should be a man of some elegance and taste.

Unfortunately, there is not much space for him in the original book, and his role is not even as important as the original owner.

Gu Zhen only knew that Shen Huaizhi was the prince's most trusted confidant.

After the prince rebelled, Shen Huaizhi was also beheaded in public.

Gu Zhen really didn't understand this person's character.

After a brief glance on the street yesterday, Gu Zhen's sixth sense told her that it would be better to stay away.

Shen Huaizhi probably didn't recognize her either.

After all, Gu Zhen's face was extremely yellow at that time.

Thinking this way, Gu Zhen was no longer so uneasy.

Cousins ​​are cousins, and having one more brother is better than having no brother at all.

If I could become the prince's acknowledged cousin, would I feel more confident when talking about marriage in the future?

Gu Zhen suddenly found Shen Huaizhi more pleasing to the eye.

"My cousin, the prince, asked me to come here, but is it because of my parents' affairs?"

Shen Huaizhi didn't expect Gu Zhen to be so receptive, and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

However, the voice of the girl in front of him was like a clear spring, and Shen Huaizhi enjoyed the call of "cousin" very much.

Shen Huaizhi lowered his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes.

"I have heard my father explain the whole story. It is heartbreaking for my cousin to have suffered such a tragedy at such a young age."

Gu Zhen's heart skipped a beat again, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

But Shen Huaizhi's expression remained unchanged, full of worry and frankness.

She couldn't help but wonder if she was thinking too much.

This Shen Huaizhi shouldn't have done it on purpose, right?

Gu Zhen blinked and felt that she shouldn't be that charming.

"I'm sorry to have troubled the Duke and the Crown Prince, I..."

Shen Huaizhi raised his hand to interrupt Gu Zhen's words: "Since you are here, we are family. There is no need for you to say more, cousin."

Gu Zhen thought to herself, what kind of family are they?

Qin Xiangmei's status was awkward, and Gu Zhen was able to enter the mansion because of her favor.

Otherwise, look around the capital and see which concubine would dare to let her relatives live with her.

I don’t know what kind of bad taste the author of the original book had to give the original owner such a miserable life.

To highlight the hero's heroism?

So as to serve as a control group for the heroine?

The plot of the novel was so wild and imaginative that Gu Zhen could only swallow these questions.

The two chatted for a few sentences and asked about family matters before Shen Huaizhi let Gu Zhen go back.

Gu Zhen knew that it wouldn't be long before the revenge of the original owner's parents would be avenged.

When he returned to Tingfeng Garden, Shen Huaining was trying on the clothes Qin Xiangmei had made for him.

Shen Huaining was shocked to hear that it was Shen Huaizhi who called her over.

"Brother actually interfered in this matter?"

As the eldest son of the Duke's Mansion and the Crown Prince's confidant, Shen Huaizhi has a busy schedule.

"Why didn't father ask me to go? I can handle it too." Shen Huaining was unhappy.

And he is Gu Zhen’s cousin, isn’t that more appropriate?

Qin Xiangmei glared at her son and said, "The Duke has his own arrangements. Why are you complaining?"

Shen Huaining still respected his biological mother and shut his mouth angrily.

Gu Zhen didn't know how to comfort this confident cousin.

Judging from his personality, he doesn't seem like he would go to Yucheng to kill her enemies for her...

......

Under the pretext of observing mourning, Gu Zhen stayed indoors in Tingfeng Garden and did not go out.

I have been able to live in peace for a few days.

But trouble is there and it always finds its way.

Looking at Shen Tingwei with bad intentions, Gu Zhen secretly clenched his fists.

Shen Tingwei came with bad intentions today and was obviously well prepared.

"Gu Zhen, you have been in the mansion for a few days. You can't keep holding it in like this. What if people say that our mansion is intolerant?"

"Miss, what are you talking about? It's just that I'm in mourning and it's not appropriate..."

Shen Tingwei knew she would say this, and interrupted impatiently: "Knowing that your parents died, these are the clothes prepared for you, aren't they all very plain?"

Gu Zhen gritted his teeth and said, "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge!"

She endures!

It's just an invitation for her to go boating on the lake. Gu Zhen has nothing to be afraid of. She will deal with it as it comes.

Avoiding is not the solution.

In the original storyline, the original owner also went boating, and was ridiculed as a country bumpkin who was not presentable.

Although nothing happened, the original owner was left at the bow by these ladies and was not allowed to enter the cabin.

The original owner was standing alone outside, being looked up and down by several boatmen.

She was so anxious and embarrassed that her eyes were swollen from crying when she returned home.

This time, Gu Zhen decided not only to go, but also to go with her head held high!

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Miss."

Gu Zhen picked up the clothes and found that it was a light-colored coarse linen shirt.

At that time, the original owner did not resist at all. After putting it on, she looked like a country girl attending a funeral.

Coupled with her inferiority complex and cowardice, she was inevitably laughed at.

Gu Zhen went into the house and changed clothes as if nothing had happened.

She didn't change into anything else, to avoid Shen Tingwei finding fault with her again.

Gu Zhen learned a lot about makeup in the previous world, so even though it is ancient times now, she can still do it with ease.

Since Shen Tingwei is asking for trouble, Gu Zhen will completely defeat her today.

A person's self-confidence does not depend on what kind of clothes he wears.

Gu Zhen put on her makeup and pinned a white silk flower on her hair.

Gu Zhen's face was reflected in the bronze mirror, like a pure and flawless little white lotus.

Luoluo was originally very angry at the eldest lady's rudeness, but when she saw the young lady's appearance.

She still praised sincerely: "Miss, you are so beautiful."

Gu Zhen gently adjusted her hair bun, and was very satisfied with her face.

When she came out after packing up, Shen Tingwei, who was getting impatient, was about to start scolding.

Then she saw the gentle and weak Gu Zhen smiling at her.

Eyes that seem to want to speak but cannot, and a body that will fall down at the slightest breeze.

Shen Tingwei gritted her teeth, what a natural born vixen!

Exactly the same as Qin Xiangmei, that bitch who stole her mother's love!

"Miss, let's go." Gu Zhen knew what she was thinking from her expression.

Shen Tingwei thought about today's arrangements and temporarily suppressed the jealousy in her heart.

"Let's go. Those who are touring the lake today are all the daughters of prominent officials in the capital. Logically speaking, a daughter of a merchant like you is not qualified to do so."

Shen Tingwei showed disdain on her face: "But who can blame me for being so generous? I will take you to see the world today."

Gu Zhen pretended to be grateful and looked longing.

Shen Tingwei's vanity was satisfied instantly.

But when getting on the carriage, Shen Tingwei still let Gu Zhen sit with the maids and old women with disdain.

Gu Zhen didn't care. Just as she was about to turn around and get on another simple carriage, she saw Shen Huaizhi riding over on a horse.

"Where are you going?"

Shen Huaizhi's clear voice sounded behind Gu Zhen.
