"Who are you? I don't know you!" The showy young man tried to break free.
"Gu Lang, I'm Runiang. You said you would marry me, so I gave my body to you. Why do you say you don't know me?" The girl looked at him in surprise.
"Tsk tsk, the debt of love has come knocking on my door." Huo Ju said gloatingly.
"This is the third son of the Gu family, Gu Huaijin." Bai Muyang explained in Tang Li's ear.
Gu Huaijin...that was her biological third brother.
This showy young man turned out to be her third brother.
Gu Huaijin and Huo Ju are both famous playboys in the capital, but they dislike each other and always quarrel with each other when they meet.
Now that he had Gu Huaijin's jokes to laugh at, he was naturally happy. He was almost ready to move a small stool and buy a bag of melon seeds.
"Bah, you're taking advantage of a girl from a decent family. You're not a human being." Huo Ju cursed.
Tang Li looked at Gu Huaijin and the girl without saying a word, as if thinking about something.
"I don't know you at all. What nonsense are you talking about? Let me go." Gu Huaijin said with a frown.
"Gu Lang, I'm pregnant with your child. How can you say such things? Are all the things you promised false?" The girl said, and then burst into tears.
Soon, many onlookers gathered.
"This is the third son of the Gu family, right? How dare he do something so immoral and yet he still refuses to take responsibility?"
"Yeah, this girl is so pitiful. How could she meet such a shameless man!"
"General Gu fought for his country and was so famous, how could he raise such a son?"
"It's really a disgrace to the General's Mansion and a misfortune for our family."
Passersby were talking about it.
"It's not me! I don't even know you, how come you are pregnant with my child?"
"Don't slander me, tell them we don't even know each other!"
Gu Huaijin defended himself.
Gu Huaijin was a playboy, a well-known dandy in the capital, and his reputation was already bad. Besides, how could a good girl deliberately ruin her own reputation in order to frame others?! So, no matter how Gu Huaijin defended himself, no one believed him.
Passersby thought he just didn't want to take responsibility, which was really inhumane! Some people couldn't stand it and even wanted to beat him up!
"Gu Lang, I'm yours in life and yours in death! If you don't want to take responsibility, I'll ask General Gu to make the decision for me!"
When he heard that they were going to the general's mansion, Gu Huaijin's legs suddenly went weak.
His father already disliked him, and now that he had ruined the reputation of the General's Mansion, he would definitely break his legs!
"Why are you slandering me?! Slander is against the laws of the Great Zhou. I can sue you!"
As Gu Huaijin said this, he struggled to break free from the girl.
The girl fell to the ground and screamed.
A few passers-by couldn't bear to see this, so they all rushed forward, grabbed Gu Huaijin, and wanted to send him to the general's mansion to seek justice for the girl.
Gu Huaijin's face flushed red and he was almost angry to death.
He was slandered, why doesn't anyone believe him? !
No matter how wicked he is, he would never attack a decent girl!
The girl who fell to the ground was helped up by Tangli.
The girl said gratefully to Tangli, "Thank you, young lady."
Her hand was grabbed by Tangli, and when she tried to pull it back, Tangli grabbed her hand.
"The girl is pregnant?" Tang Li asked.
Facing Tang Li's distinct black and white eyes and gaze fixed on her, the girl subconsciously turned her eyes away.
"Yes, three months." She stroked her belly. "Gu Lang is irresponsible. My child was born without a father. Why are our lives so miserable?"
As she spoke, she sobbed softly again.
The passersby were so angry that they dragged Gu Huaijin towards the general's mansion.
However, before he took two steps, he was stopped by Tang Li.
"Everyone, please listen to what I have to say first." Tang Li said.
The eyes of passers-by were all on her.
"I don't know the two parties involved, but I have a suspicion that I find strange, because this girl is not pregnant at all." Tang Li said, "I just felt her pulse, and her pulse is no different from that of an ordinary person."
Although Tang Li didn't have much medical skills, he had known Doctor Su for many years and could take the pulse, so he could still tell the patient's condition simply.
This girl is not pregnant at all.
"Not pregnant?"
Passersby looked at the girl.
The girl's eyes were a little flustered. "I... I'm not pregnant. I just don't want Gu Lang to leave me. But I really gave my body to Gu Lang. As a girl, do I really need to lie like this?"
Tang Li looked at her: "Are you really not lying?"
The moment the girl met her eyes, she felt dizzy and her mouth started moving uncontrollably.
"I... I lied. I don't know the third young master of the Gu family. Someone gave me money, a lot of silver, to play a trick on the third young master Gu..." The girl told everything.
Since this girl said it, it must be the truth.
So, it turns out that Mr. Gu San really doesn’t know this girl?
Were they deceived by this girl?
The passersby reacted and let go of Gu Huaijin.
Gu Huaijin straightened his clothes and turned around. The girl who had just grabbed him and asked him to take responsibility had disappeared and ran away.
He runs pretty fast.
This is not only to catch him, but also to ruin the reputation of the General's Mansion.
Although he is unreliable, he still has a bottom line and would not do such a thing.
Gu Huaijin looked at Tang Li, fortunately the girl in front of him helped him out.
Gu Huaijin said gratefully, "Thank you very much, young lady."
Thanks to this girl for clearing his name, otherwise he would have been taken back to the general's mansion and his leg would have been lost.
Tang Li looked at him: "I'm just telling the truth."
Gu Huaijin looked at Tang Li and always felt inexplicably close to him.
"Whose family is this girl from? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"Hey, Gu Huaijin, don't try to hit on my sister, or I'll kill you." Huo Ju stood in front of Tang Li and threatened.
"Your sister? Why don't I believe it?"
"Why don't you believe me? My sister is very much my style, okay?"
Gu Huaijin sneered, Huo Ju swung his fist, and it seemed that the two were about to fight.
"Okay, brother." Tang Li hurriedly tried to stop the fight.
When Huo Ju heard the word "brother", he immediately withdrew his hand.
Gu Huaijin felt strangely moved when he heard the word "brother". The girl's voice was so sweet that it touched his heart. Looking at how Huo Ju and the girl were getting along, he felt strangely that it would be great if she was his sister.
Huo Ju stared at Gu Huaijin as if he was guarding against a wolf. Gu Huaijin had no chance to get close to Tang Li. In the end, he just asked her name, and then told her that if she needed any help, she could come to the general's mansion to find him, and then turned and left.
Huo Ju waved his fist at his back and said, "Still want to kidnap my sister? I'll beat him to death first!"
Tangli smiled and said nothing.
It was really fate that she met the eldest and third brothers of the Gu family in one day.
After Tang Li met Bai Muyang and Huo Ju, since Cao Shao was leading his troops to war and was not in the capital, there was no one else he needed to visit, so he returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, a secret guard appeared in front of her and handed a letter to Tang Li.
Tang Li picked up the letter and opened it. The content inside was exactly the whereabouts of Mrs. Gu that she asked the secret guard to investigate.
Mrs. Gu, her mother.
It is said that there is a connection between mother and daughter. Will her mother feel anything when she sees her?
She planned to find an opportunity to meet her by chance.
As the letter said, five days later, Mrs. Gu went to Ganquan Temple to burn incense.
"Five days later..." Tang Li looked thoughtful.
