Chapter 3 Stealing in the Street
Tu Suyi obviously knew about it, but chose to remain silent. Her attitude was already clear, so why waste any more words?
However, Gu Yuexuan did not feel any regret.
After all, her family wasn't much better than Tu Su's...
Gu Yuexuan sighed softly, picked up some dry grass from the ground, and asked vaguely in a low voice, "Have you heard about this news before Eunuch Ying arrived?"
Tu Subo said nothing.
Gu Yuexuan played with the dry grass on the ground and sighed, "So, do you also speculate whether the Gu family already knew all this?"
In the original owner's memory, although Tu Subo was known as the most dissolute prince in Shengjing, her eldest sister was deeply in love with Tu Subo and had been in love with him for many years.
If there hadn't been rumors, how could she have suddenly changed her mind?
What's even more outrageous is that not only did the eldest sister change her heart, she also shamelessly asked her to marry in her place...
Gu Yuexuan smacked her lips and chuckled, "No wonder, how could such good luck fall so easily on my head..."
When Tu Subo heard this, the muscles in his jaw tensed even more, and Gu Yuexuan was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.
She threw the carefully woven grasshopper to the ground, held the back of her head with her hands, and leaned lazily against the corner.
Escape? It was hopeless. Without a travel permit, and with his name prominently on the imperial court's list of exiles, he would be killed without mercy if caught.
However, Fangling is said to be desolate and cold, with an extremely harsh living environment.
Apart from the meager supplies she had hidden before the guards broke into her house, she had nothing.
The only thing to be proud of is the superb farming skills that have been developed through years of painstaking research.
By the way, can we grow enough food to fill our stomachs on this land in Fangling?
If she sets foot in Fangling, will she face the threat of starvation if she cannot find farmland?
As for the masters and ladies who were exiled together, they were even more of a burden.
…
Night slowly fell, and the cries continued until the dawn broke.
The Princess Rui, whom the old lady had been eagerly awaiting, ultimately failed to show up as promised.
Tu Subo's eyes were bloodshot, and he remained silent, but he firmly carried the old marquis who was still unconscious and walked at the front of the team.
Not long after…
Gu Yuexuan was attacked by a series of rotten eggs for no reason.
"Traitor!"
"Shameless!"
"If it weren't for the Tusu family's betrayal, why would Western Wei be defeated and ceded territory? It's all the fault of those traitors!"
"The scum of the Tusu family should all be severely punished!"
The people on the street were filled with indignation, and rotten eggs and vegetable leaves poured down like a rainstorm.
Gu Yuexuan couldn't dodge and was almost knocked unconscious by the rotten eggs. Her heart was filled with extreme despair.
She bumped along the way, dodging left and right, and finally walked out of the city gate with a body covered in stigma and stench amid the desperate cries of the Tu Su family.
Looking up, an extremely gorgeous carriage with a green canopy gradually came into view.
There is a huge character "Gu" clearly embedded on the body of the car.
Gu Yuexuan narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at it carefully, then shook her wrist, and the vegetable leaves in her hand were ruthlessly torn off in an instant.
The curtain of the carriage was gently rolled up, and the coachman immediately lay on the ground, using his broad back as a footstool. A hand as white as jade slowly stretched out from the carriage, gently supported the maid's hand, stepped lightly from the coachman's back, and landed gracefully.
The eldest sister was dressed in a dazzling brocade robe and adorned with expensive jewels. She looked like a fairy from heaven, with graceful manners and light steps.
The accompanying servants took out silver from their sleeves and generously rewarded the escorting officials. The fairy-like beauty had tears on her face, full of sorrow: "Fourth sister has suffered."
Gu Yuexuan angrily threw the crushed vegetable leaves in her hand to the ground. A sneer hung on the corner of her mouth, revealing her resentment. "Eldest sister, are you here to visit me, or do you have other motives?"
Her words seemed to be hinting at Tu Subo, but Gu Yuwei's gaze did not linger on him for a moment. Instead, her eyes fell on Gu Yuexuan, full of concern: "Why do you say that, Fourth Sister? Of course, I came here to visit you."
"I heard that my fourth sister has been unfortunately implicated and will be banished to Fangling, never to return to Shengjing. I'm afraid you and I will never see each other again. How could I not come to visit?"
Gu Yuwei's tone was like the sound of a piano in the drizzle, full of tenderness and warmth, as if filled with infinite concern for her half-sister.
Gu Yuexuan's gaze moved back and forth on her, always maintaining a distance of three steps away, but there was a hint of indifferent smile on the corner of her mouth.
She secretly sneered in her heart: This woman hurts others, but still likes to stand aside and enjoy other people's pain.
Well, then you can have your wish come true.
Gu Yuexuan suddenly jumped forward in excitement and held Gu Yuwei's hand tightly. Just when Gu Yuwei was about to scold her, she pulled hard and grabbed the two jade bracelets on her wrist.
"My eldest sister really won't sit idly by and ignore me!"
Crack!
The sleeves slid down gently, and with a quick pull of her hands, the two jade bracelets fell into her hands!
Gu Yuwei's face instantly turned gloomy and she was about to lose her temper.
However, Gu Yuexuan pressed Gu Yuwei's shoulders tightly: "Elder sister treats me so well!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her hand flashed across Gu Yuwei's waist like lightning, and a bulging purse changed hands in an instant!
"put……"
Four...
"Eldest sister!"
Gu Yuexuan hid the thing in her hand behind her waist with lightning speed, held Gu Yuwei's waist tightly with one hand, and searched her body quickly with the other hand.
She turned Gu Yuwei's sleeves into a mess, and seeing her face turn pale, she couldn't help but curl up a sly smile at the corner of her lips: "Everyone is watching here, elder sister, please don't get angry in public."
"Now that it has come to this, it's best to remain silent. Otherwise, your usual gentle and docile image will be ruined, and you'll be wasting your good intentions in coming to visit your sister."
She was sweet-mouthed but treacherous. She plundered all the gold and silver ornaments on Gu Yuwei's body from the top of her head to her waist, and stopped immediately after she was done.
Only then did she realize that Tu Subo had quietly stood on her right side.
With his tall and sturdy figure, he cleverly blocked the curious eyes outside by just tilting his head slightly.
In this unnoticed corner, Gu Yuexuan thought for a moment, and then her courage increased. She reached out without hesitation and stole the bulging purse from Gu Yuwei's maid's waist.
Gu Yuwei's anger reached its peak.
"Gu Yuexuan, don't be so arrogant..."
"Arrogant?"
Gu Yuexuan flicked her fingers disapprovingly, a hint of cold sarcasm on her lips: "Since you have the courage to come here, are you still afraid of me using a gun? Let me remind you, who put me in this situation in the first place?"
If Gu Yuwei hadn't forced her to marry, how could she have ended up in such a miserable state, having to "steal for a living" on the street?
