Gu Qing married a scoundrel who poisoned her, leaving her crippled and bedridden. She hated him for five years, cursed him for five years, until she was fed poison once more, only then realizing th...
Gu Qing originally thought that Mu Xin was straightforward, but only these days did he realize that she was so thoughtful and was the same type of person as Chen Zhizhou.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Xin'er, you treat me so well, I will always remember you in my heart."
Mu Xin blushed upon hearing this and said with a hint of pride, "That's not good at all. This is how I should treat my friends."
Later, the women looked at the close relationship between Gu Qing and Mu Xin, some were envious, and some were jealous.
Qu Lingling's face was mean as she glared at Gu Qing. "Women like Gu Qing are always trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful. Now she's trying to curry favor with Princess Huafeng again. I'm afraid she'll be bullying us again in the future."
She had also heard about Gu Qing's public disrespect of the Fifth Prince's retainers.
If the Chen Mansion hadn't closed its doors to visitors, she would definitely teach this ignorant woman a lesson!
Wu Xian'er and Zhao Qi's marriage was temporarily put on hold. She originally didn't know that this matter was related to Gu Qing. Later, she sent someone to investigate carefully and found out that it was the Chen couple who were behind it.
Her marriage with her cousin was called off, and she became a laughing stock in the capital!
When Wu Xian'er saw Gu Qing, her eyes turned red with anger. Qu Lingling looked at her and smiled: "Xian'er, what's wrong with you?"
"By the way, how is your marriage going?" It was said that Zhao Qi's frail body had improved a lot thanks to the treatment of the miracle doctor introduced by Gu Qing.
Since then, the relationship between the only son of Duke Zhao and the Chen family has become closer. With Wu Xian'er's personality, how could she allow Zhao Qi to get close to other women?
Qu Lingling became more and more happy. She just asked a simple question, and Wu Xianer's face turned very ugly. She stared at Gu Qing as if she wanted to eat her.
Not only that, but Du Qing, who was standing by, was a young and inexperienced person. After hearing what she said, he immediately lowered his voice and said angrily, "Gu Qing thinks she can climb over our heads?! She's not qualified!"
"Could I be afraid of her?"
Qu Lingling continued to add fuel to the fire, saying, "Of course you're not afraid of her, but aren't you afraid of Princess Huafeng? She's now Princess Huafeng's friend."
Wu Xian'er felt a headache and irritation when she heard her talk, and shouted angrily: "Shut up! Are you annoying?"
Qu Lingling's face turned bad for a moment: "You are not happy with yourself, and you are angry with me?!
The three of them were fighting among themselves in the back, attracting many officials and their wives to watch the show.
Gu Qing and Mu Xin's attention was also drawn to them and they looked back.
Mu Xin didn't like the constant scheming and verbal disputes among these women, and immediately expressed dissatisfaction: "They act like mynah birds all day long, only able to show off their power through words. They should be thrown into the battlefield and see how they got their good life."
Her words were rough but true. Gu Qing was amused by her and pulled her back, saying softly, "Okay, just pretend you didn't see it."
"Why get angry and make yourself unhappy?" In her previous life, she was no different from these women.
They fought tooth and nail for the honor of their family and the interests of money, but after so much experience in their previous lives and seeing the fickleness of human nature, they found it ridiculous.
"Shut up!" Mu Xin shouted angrily, and the crowd immediately quieted down, and the women stopped chattering.
Qu Lingling and Wu Xian'er also fell silent immediately, lowering their heads and glaring at each other.
Mu Xin's face turned cold: "This princess has always disliked people who talk too much. If any of you makes noise again, I will pull out her tongue!"
The Mu family was decisive and efficient in their work, and they always kept their promises. After she said this, no one dared to speak anymore, and they all stood quietly where they were.
At the same time, Wan Nishang, the owner of Nishang Pavilion, opened the door personally. She was wearing a light blue water-sleeved fairy dress, like a mermaid in the water. The moon-shadow gauze made her skin glow in the sunlight.
Gu Qing found it hard to imagine that this was a woman in her thirties.
Although there was a smile in her eyes, a closer look revealed an intriguing sense of vicissitudes and experience.
Wan Nishang met Gu Qing's curious and inquiring eyes for the first time, and suddenly smiled and said, "Everyone, this month's custom-made clothes have already been taken."
The female relatives were confused and dissatisfied when they heard this.
Qu Lingling was the first to speak: "Master Wan! What do you mean? We haven't even entered yet, how come there is already a master?"
"Besides, the monthly custom order goes to the highest bidder. You haven't even made an offer yet, aren't you toying with us?"
"Yes! Pavilion Master Wan, what do you mean?"
Wu Xian'er had always known how to get what she wanted, and today was her first time buying something. She immediately shouted angrily, "Pavilion Master Wan! We are both daughters of officials. You'd better watch out for your head if you do this!"
Wan Nishang, the clothing making skills are the best in the world.
At the beginning, the Shangyi Bureau personally wrote to His Majesty to beg him to enter the palace, but Master Wan would rather die than obey. He only made a phoenix robe for the Queen and never set foot in the palace again.
There are rumors that Pavilion Master Wan is the daughter of His Majesty's former teacher, and even the Queen respects her. Wu Xian'er's words are really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
Wan Nishang still had a smile on her face, and the broadness and calmness in her eyes made people respect her.
After listening to the words of these young ladies from official families, she just listened indifferently and did not take it to heart.
"Ladies and young ladies, Nishang Pavilion has put dozens of new items on the shelves today. I believe you will be satisfied. However, I, the Pavilion Master, always value money and fate when doing things."
Gu Qing's curiosity about her grew.
She made no secret of her greed for money, but her demeanor was open-minded and generous, as if she had experienced the vicissitudes of life, and her eyes held many stories worth asking about.
"However, this Pavilion Master has decided today to order two sets of clothing for this lady and Princess Huafeng this month."
Everyone's eyes fell on Gu Qing and Princess Huafeng.
Mu Xin nodded slightly to Pavilion Master Wan and said, "This princess would like to thank Pavilion Master Wan for his hard work in making the clothes. The money will be sent to the pavilion when the time comes."
As for Gu Qing, she herself was a little dazed. She didn't expect Pavilion Master Wan to say this.
Mu Xin is the princess, so naturally no one dares to compete with her, but why did the other spot fall to Gu Qing!
The female members of the family were immediately unhappy and made a lot of noise at the door, showing none of the grace and elegance of a young lady from an official family.
Pavilion Master Wan smiled and said, "I have my reasons for choosing Princess Huafeng and this lady."
"First, among all the young ladies here today, Princess Huafeng has the most status and wealth. You can't afford the princess's price. Second, this Pavilion Master felt a sense of familiarity with this lady from the moment we met. Moreover, this lady has a graceful figure, quite like an immortal. She is a gift from heaven. My clothes look better on her than on you."
Gu Qing raised his eyebrows slightly. This Pavilion Master is indeed a man with a bad temper.
After she said this, the others were furious, but they were helpless and could only vent their anger on Gu Qing.
"Everyone, please." Everyone went into the cabinet to choose clothes, and many women started arguing over the best-looking styles, causing a commotion downstairs.
Mu Xin and Gu Qing were invited by Wan Nishang to the private room on the second floor: "Princess, Madam Chen Sanshao, please take a seat in the private room."
