[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

Facing Sister Feng's inquiry, Gu Qionghua could only tell the truth.

It turned out that she was the one who lured Lu Li to Huawu on purpose. Lu Li's original intention of going there was just to admire the plum blossoms. He didn't expect to meet Gu Qionghua, nor did he expect Lin Suxian to go there.

Sister Feng deliberately said with a straight face: "Second sister, you are confused. Is this kind of thing allowed to be done casually? If someone finds out, do you still want your reputation?"

Gu Qionghua lowered her head, "I know it's not appropriate to do this, I just ask my sister-in-law not to tell my mother and grandmother."

Seeing her like this, Sister Feng didn't want to scare her anymore, and said: "Of course I will keep my mouth shut, but I will not set an example. Before doing anything in the future, I should think about the consequences."

Gu Qionghua nodded, looked up at Sister Feng, "Since the third sister-in-law knows everything, I will tell the truth to the third sister-in-law. I don't regret doing so."

Sister Feng was a little surprised.

"I...I just want to give myself a chance, and also take this opportunity to test him. Now that I know the result, I have no regrets."

It's normal for young women to fall in love with Pianpian teenagers. Although Gu Qionghua's matter is out of the ordinary, it is also understandable.

"So, that time when you advised Miss Lu together with me, and made Mrs. Lu decide to remove the obstacle of the second and third bedrooms, it was also because of Lu Li?"

"Yes." Gu Qionghua felt embarrassed that he knew everything.

Sister Feng smiled faintly, "So now, have you really let go?"

Gu Qionghua nodded slowly but firmly, "I just met him a few times before, and was attracted by his talent and clean smile. Such a man is rarely seen, and he has always left a shadow in my heart. But today I understand , he is not my man. Needless to say, he is a talented and good man, but he is not for me."

Just like today's picture of plum blossoms, Gu Qionghua rejected him. Apart from being disappointed, he didn't fight for it or insist on it.Maybe he has a good impression of Gu Qionghua, but he can't fight for himself.If it was Gu Xingchi, he would definitely try his best to get close to Sister Feng. Even if Sister Feng rejected him a hundred times, he would find a hundred reasons to compensate her for his paintings.

"What's more, Mrs. Lu's vision is very high, and she is suppressed by filial piety. According to Lu Li's temperament, how can she guarantee that her wife will not be wronged?" Sister Feng added.

Gu Qionghua looked at the trees full of red plums, smiled and said: "Today, I have completely recognized the facts, and I have completely given up. I will tell my mother tonight and let her push this marriage."

Sister Feng shook her hand, "You are such a good girl, there should be a better man to match you."

Gu Qionghua suppressed the bitterness in his heart, and smiled brightly, "Thank you, sister-in-law three."

In Yusheng Residence, Gu Qiongju was sitting in front of the charcoal fire, eating snacks and reading the story book, while Daiyu was sitting in front of the window playing chess with her left and right hands.

"Sister Feng, Miss Gu." Daiyu was originally looking down in thought, when she heard footsteps, she immediately raised her head.

The servant girl waited for the two to take off their cloaks, and Sister Feng smiled and said, "You two seem to be at your leisure."

Daiyu blinked her eyes, she was very smart and charming, "It's not because Sister Feng is busy with other people, so she didn't come back so late, I have nothing to do except play chess with myself."

Gu Qionghua also looked at the chess game curiously, "Miss Lin also likes to play chess?"

Daiyu smiled and said: "It's just to pass the time when I have nothing to do, and occasionally play chess with my father at home."

Gu Qionghua seemed to be interested, "Why don't you and I talk about it?"

Daiyu immediately responded, "That's fine."

The doors and windows in the house are closed to keep the cold wind out, and the house is warm and cozy, as if the plum blossoms in the vase are also exuding a richer fragrance.

Seeming to have forgotten about Lu Li, Gu Qionghua looked at the chess game and said, "I've known for a long time that Miss Lin not only has a beautiful appearance, but also has a talent for singing Xu. I never thought that her chess skills are so superb."

Daiyu dropped a child, and said softly: "Miss Gu is overrated, you are the one who is better."

Gu Qionghua smiled and said nothing, she felt that Daiyu hadn't fully displayed her strength, and she had tried her best to force a draw with her.

"Miss Gu, it's your turn." Daiyu reminded softly.

Sister Feng didn't know how to recite poems, and she didn't know how to play chess. She just lazily leaned on the couch with her hand stove in her arms and watched the two of them.

"Both of you are girls coming and going, I'm exhausted from hearing that."

The two looked at each other and smiled, Gu Qionghua said: "Miss Lin is younger than me, how about I call you Daiyu or sister Lin from now on?"

Daiyu also felt that she got along very well with the sisters of the Gu family, and she smiled calmly, "I will call you Sister Gu from now on."

The two chatted happily, and completely forgot about Gu Qiongju. She drank a cup of tea and swallowed the pastry, "And me, I've been here for so long, and the second sister didn't notice me."

Gu Qionghua didn't look up at her either, "With your temperament, it's already good not to cause trouble for others, who wants to recognize you as a younger sister?"

"How did I get into trouble?"

At this time, Xiang'er opened the door and came in, and said to Sister Feng, "Ma'am, something serious happened."

Sister Feng frowned, "What's the matter?"

"My servant saw that Aunt You went to the second lady's place in a panic, and left the mansion crying, so she went to inquire and heard that Miss You San committed suicide suddenly. Fortunately, she was rescued in time. Aunt You got the news , I can only ask the second lady to let her go home and have a look."

Sister Feng sat up straight, and Third Sister You committed suicide. Could it be because of Liu Xianglian?

Thinking of this, she sent someone to investigate.

Sure enough, as Sister Feng expected, Third Sister You committed suicide because of Liu Xianglian.

Although Third Sister You is not the kind of well-behaved woman, she only thinks about Liu Xianglian, so when Mrs. You was worrying about her marriage, Third Sister You said that she would not marry unless she was Liu Xianglian.

But Mrs. You didn't have much friendship with Liu Xianglian, so she entrusted Youshi, and Youshi entrusted Jia Lian, who only waited for Liu Xianglian to return to Beijing to act as a matchmaker for the two.

Liu Xianglian wanted to marry a stunning woman, and when Jia Lian talked about how beautiful that woman was, he was naturally moved.But when he learned that this woman was Third Sister You, his excitement disappeared immediately.

Liu Xianglian didn't have a good opinion of Jia's family. To use a sentence he once said to Jia Baoyu: Your East Mansion is clean except for those two stone lions. I'm afraid even the cats and dogs are not clean. I won't be such bastards.

In addition, the fact that Second Sister You was a concubine made a lot of noise, and Liu Xianglian could know it after a little inquiring.My sister is so indiscreet, how can my sister be any better?Therefore, he didn't want to see Third Sister You at all, so he resolutely refused this marriage.

When Miss You heard Liu Xianglian's words, she was sad and ashamed, and in a fit of anger she took a knife to wipe her neck.Fortunately, Mrs. You stopped her in time and hurt her neck, but her life was not in danger.

Second Sister You hurried home, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she heard Third Sister You sobbing in a low voice: "I thought he was different from other men, but I didn't expect that he was also a common man, and because of the rumors outside, he recognized me. He is a shameless person. It was a waste of all my sincerity towards him all these years, but I never thought about him, but I misjudged him."

Mrs. You persuaded: "At the beginning, your second sister told you a few people to choose you and refused to listen, but she was going to hang herself on a tree. After finally looking forward to her return, she didn't want to see you at all. If I had known this, I would It shouldn't be up to your temperament. If you had listened to me and your second sister, you would be married now."

Third Sister You wiped away her tears, "If it wasn't for him, what's the point of my marriage?"

"Hey, you child, you are too stubborn..." Mrs. You turned her head and found that the second sister You, who was dressed up brightly, was about to open the curtain and come in.

Mrs. You put on a smiling face, waved her hands and said, "You came just in time, your sister is sad, hurry up and persuade her."

Third Sister You took a look at Second Sister You, and said with a sneer, "It's different now, your status is so precious now, and you're willing to settle down in our shabby place."

Second Sister You's smile froze, "Third Sister, I heard that something happened to you. I was very flustered, so I hurriedly begged Second Madam to come back to see you. Why are you so stupid? Liu Xianglian is not the only man in this world. Why bother for him? hurt oneself?"

Third Sister You believed that her reputation was ruined by Second Sister You.If it wasn't for Second Sister You to be an outsider and hurt her reputation, why would Liu Xianglian reject her directly?

"Do you want me to be a concubine and concubine like you?" Third Sister You didn't soften her attitude in the slightest.

Mrs. You hurriedly said: "Your second sister came to see you with good intentions, how could you talk to her like this?"

Third Sister You turned her face away, "My words are just so unpleasant, Second Sister doesn't want to listen, so you can go back to Hou's Mansion."

Second Sister You knew that Third Sister You was indeed affected by her, so she let her sneer and sneer without refuting anything.Standing in front of the bed, feeling anxious.

The two were in a stalemate like this, and the second sister You couldn't help it, so she said to Mrs You: "I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring anything for the third sister, so you take the money, find a good doctor for the third sister, and buy more supplements , Take care of your body. Don't leave a scar on your neck when you are young."

Mrs. You sighed secretly, it seemed that the estrangement between the two sisters could not be eliminated for a while.

"I see, you go back."

Second Sister You nodded, and as soon as she lifted the curtain, she saw Jia Rong standing at the door.

He looked pleasantly surprised, cupped his hands and said, "Rong'er has seen Second Aunt. Second Aunt also came to see Third Aunt. Why did she leave so early?"

When Third Sister You heard Jia Rong's voice, she turned over and squinted at him, "What a coincidence, Uncle Rong arrived just as my second sister was here."

Second Sister You didn't dare to look up at him, and said perfunctorily, "I told Mistress that I will go back sooner."

When Jia Rong met those affectionate eyes, her heart couldn't help shaking.

"No wonder I feel that my second aunt has lost weight. I think it's because of the embarrassment of the mistress."

Second Sister You didn't answer, avoiding his approaching hand, "Master Rong, please go ahead, I'll take my leave first."

Jia Rong looked at Second Sister You's back with a smile, and sniffed her hand, as if it was tainted by her fragrance.

Mrs. You just pretended she didn't see it, and smiled all over her face, "It's cold outside, come in and have a bowl of hot tea, it's no wonder that Uncle Rong is still thinking about my third sister..."

When Sister Feng learned that Second Sister You returned home, the guests had already left one after another.

Sister Feng watched Daiyu get into the carriage, and when she turned around, she heard a woman behind her say, "Mrs. Jing'an Hou, are you all right?"

Sister Feng's back stiffened, and when she turned her head, she found a woman staring at her with a half-smiling expression, her arrogance couldn't be concealed in her eyes.

"It turns out that it is the sixth princess. Your Highness also has the pleasure to come to the humble house to enjoy the plum blossoms?"

The sixth princess's voice was flat, but her words were sharp. She raised her chin, "Why, if the three royal brothers are here, can I not come?"

Sister Feng understood that the princess had come to embarrass her on purpose.She had a respectful attitude, "Your Highness misunderstood, I was just surprised. After all, such a noble person like you is willing to come to the humble house, which really flatters my wife."

The sixth princess glanced at her lower abdomen, "Before congratulations, Mrs. Hou is finally pregnant."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

The sixth princess smiled inexplicably, and actually walked up to Sister Feng step by step.She is a head shorter than Sister Feng, but she insists on putting on a condescending posture.Seeing this, Ping'er and Yingzhu were full of vigilance.

"I just have a few words to say to Mrs. Hou. Look at how scared you are, like a mouse. It's very boring."

Yingzhu and Heping'er were upset, but they couldn't show it.

Under the vigilant eyes of the two, the sixth princess hooked her lips.Her voice was extremely low, like a whisper, and she said something that shocked Sister Feng.

"A bastard can live such a beautiful life, marry a wife and have children, and I don't know if God will take this child back."

When the cold wind hit, Sister Feng's body trembled, and she looked at the sixth princess in horror.She clenched her hands tightly, and it took her a long time to utter a few words stiffly, "Please be careful, Your Highness."

The sixth princess looked innocent, "I'm telling the truth. This person in your stomach is the same as that person, a little bastard."

Sister Feng thought she hadn't offended her, it was nothing more than making trouble for her many times before, but now she dared to say some insulting words.She couldn't tolerate someone insulting Gu Xingchi and her child like this.

Sister Feng's angry body trembled slightly, but she tried her best to suppress her anger and said calmly, "Your Highness, I tolerate and respect you because you are a princess, but please don't go too far."

The sixth princess sneered, "Why, Mrs. Hou can't even listen to the truth?"

Having said so much, Sister Feng felt that there was no need to bear it any longer.

Her smile was as light as catkins, "The truth? I also have a truth here, I'm afraid the princess won't listen to it."

The sixth princess asked suspiciously: "What?"

Sister Feng backed away a few steps, getting a little further away from her.

"Why, has His Highness forgotten his origin so quickly? Or is it that His Highness has been pampered and pampered for many years, and is used to enjoying the glory and wealth, so he deliberately avoids the past?"

"What are you talking about?" Princess Six asked impatiently.

"As far as I know, your biological mother is just a dancer who was paid tribute from another country. His Majesty pampered her when he was drunk, and left the next day without asking her name. If it wasn't for being pregnant, Your Majesty is a beauty." The position will not be given to her. Since then, His Majesty has never summoned her again, and the princess has been living a life of being bullied with her.

One day, unfortunately, she fell into the water and died. The queen thought she was pitiful, so she kindly adopted her, and you lived a more beautiful life than all the princesses.Speaking of which, if your mother was still alive, you would never have had the chance to be so arrogant in front of me.Did the princess forget your biological mother when she was used to a good life?You keep insulting others as sluts, no matter how noble your background is, I'm afraid it will be even more despicable. "

After so many years, if Sister Feng hadn't mentioned it, she would have almost forgotten her real origin.The truth she tried so hard to let others forget was brought up again by Sister Feng. She felt insulted, like being slapped severely.

She raised her hand, "How dare you talk to me like that!"

The next moment, her hand was grabbed by Yingzhu.The sixth princess said viciously: "How dare you stop me?"

Sister Feng reminded lightly, "Princess, if something happened to me and His Majesty finds out about it under the eyes of everyone, I'm afraid even the Empress will not be able to protect you. I don't know how Your Majesty will feel when he finds out that you have insulted Lord Marquis like this?"

After saying that, let Yingzhu let go of her.

The empress and the sixth princess hated Gu Xingchi so much, but Gu Xingchi was so favored by the emperor. I'm afraid there are some secrets that others don't know.She was sure that if the sixth princess's words reached the emperor's ears today, the sixth princess would definitely be punished.

The sixth princess was indeed afraid of the uncertain emperor, but she still said sternly: "Just wait and see, you won't be complacent for long."

King Ning saw the Sixth Princess getting into the carriage, and said to King Qing, "Isn't that Sixth Sister? Zhaohua, you posted a post for Sixth Sister?"

Gu Xingchi ignored him, went straight to Sister Feng, and said to Ping'er displeased: "The weather is so cold, why do you let Madam stand here to blow the wind?" He tightened the cloak for Sister Feng, "Is it cold? Hurry up Go back."

Sister Feng didn't say a word, she looked past him to King Ning and King Qing, and then back to Gu Xingchi.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xingchi didn't understand why.

"It's nothing." She lowered her eyes, "Let's go back."

In Yusheng residence, Xiang'er put the chess pieces into the chess basket and sighed from time to time.

Ping'er laughed, "What are you sighing for?"

Xiang'er pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry for that set of chess pieces. Originally Miss Lin and Miss Er played chess well, but because Miss Lin lost three games in a row, she wanted to give Miss Lin a pair of chess pieces polished with jade. Unexpectedly, Concubine Nan'an came with Yi'an county magistrate, and she took a fancy to that chess piece."

The county magistrate of Yi'an insisted on taking it away, but Concubine Nan'an pretended to scold her and apologized to Daiyu and Gu Qionghua.As concubines, Daiyu and Qionghua were willing to lower their status, so Daiyu and Qionghua had no choice but to give the chess pieces to Yi'an County Lord.Concubine Nan'an hypocritically said that she would send an apology to Daiyu and Gu Qionghua.

In fact, the county magistrate of Yi'an doesn't know how to play chess at all, she just thinks the chess pieces are beautiful, as long as she likes the chess pieces, she must take them in her hand.

Xiang'er snorted again, "I think she deliberately took away Miss Lin's things because she was jealous that Miss Lin was gentler, more beautiful, smarter and more talented than her."

After hearing Xiang'er's words, Sister Feng said to Gu Xingchi: "I see, this Concubine of Nan'an and the Lord of Yi'an County are also targeting me. My eldest brother beat her grandson, and she came to me to be unhappy. She You spoiled your daughter again, and you want to take away the treasures in my yard."

It's a pity that there is such a daughter who doesn't get married and harm other princes.
