Not only did he ruin all her plans, he also married his daughter off without hesitation, without giving her or her father any chance to react.
By the time she received the news, it was already time for the two of them to return home.
She could only helplessly watch as Lord Chen became someone else's husband, with a fire burning in her chest that she couldn't vent.
It was for this reason that she secretly ran to the capital from the border without telling her father.
The purpose of this trip was to see what kind of woman would marry Master Chen. If she was worthy, that would be fine. But if she wasn't...
Bai Rongrong's eyes turned cold instantly.
She doesn't mind using some tricks to make the other party give up.
"Oh, I see."
Gu Qing was quite angry when he heard her deliberate provocation, but he still put on an appearance of being sensible and nodded calmly.
Bai Rongrong originally thought that she would make a scene on the spot, but she was so calm that she made herself look like a clown, which made her even more annoyed.
"What do you mean?"
"You stole my husband, shouldn't you apologize?"
Bai Rongrong spoke in a bad tone and glared at her fiercely.
Gu Qing was amused by her matter-of-fact tone and was speechless.
"Miss Bai, I'm afraid you've misunderstood!"
"Let's not even mention that Chen Zhizhou is my husband. I'm his wife, married into his family with three matchmakers, six betrothals, and a sedan chair carried by eight people. Who are you and him? What status do you have? What qualifications do you have to come to me and say this? And you're so confident in accusing me. Don't you think it's a bit ridiculous?"
"If you two are truly in love with each other as you say, then you should have made an engagement long ago, instead of waiting until he's married to someone else before rushing in and making such a fuss."
Gu Qing's eyes were cold, and he didn't give her any face at all, but at the same time he didn't forget to seek justice for the driver.
"As for what happened today, it was clearly you who made the mistake first, yet you refused to admit it and instead attacked and hurt others. It's truly despicable. Don't you know that it's because of these people at the bottom of society that you can live the life you have now?"
"You were born into the military, and if your father's soldiers heard what you said, and if the thousands of soldiers on the border heard it, how could they not be disheartened?"
"You should apologize to him!"
Gu Qing spoke each word clearly and forcefully.
Bai Rongrong was stunned by her retort. He was born in a military camp, admired the use of force, and was not good at talking. Now he couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.
Hearing that she actually asked him to apologize to a lowly coachman, Bai Rongrong felt it was ridiculous and even more insulted.
"Don't even think about asking me to apologize to him!"
Bai Rongrong stiffened his neck with a look of dissatisfaction on his face, and the hatred in his eyes seemed to want to swallow up Gu Qing.
"Unless I die, you will never get my chance in this life!"
She added through gritted teeth.
After saying that, Bai Rongrong ignored the pointing and talking of the people around him, got back into the carriage, and urged it to leave quickly.
"This is too arrogant!"
"That's right, they simply don't treat us as human beings."
"How could a hero like General Bai have such a daughter? What a sin!"
“…”
The people looked at the departing carriage and were filled with indignation.
Communicating with such a person is like talking to a cow. Talking more is just a waste of time. Someone will naturally teach her a lesson in the future.
Gu Qing ignored him and turned to face the driver. Seeing that he was seriously injured, a trace of sympathy and compassion appeared in his eyes. He said with concern: "Go find a clinic to treat your wound first!"
When the driver heard her concern, he felt a warm feeling in his heart and his eyes couldn't help but turn red.
He shook his head and said gratefully, "Thank you, Madam. It's nothing serious."
"The banquet of the Marquis of Fucheng's wife is more important. It would be a shame if I were to delay. I'd better let me take it to you first. There will still be time to treat your wound later."
Gu Qing still wanted to persuade him, but he kept insisting. Seeing that he had made up his mind, she had no choice but to give up.
…
Fucheng Marquis Mansion.
After Gu Qing was helped off the carriage, he immediately ordered the driver to treat his wounds.
"Hurry up and don't delay."
The driver responded repeatedly and left under her gaze.
"Hey~ Sister, why are you so concerned about a servant? You're lowering yourself like this. If others saw you, they'd probably think too much!"
Gu Miao followed closely behind, taking in the entire scene at the door, and deliberately raised her voice to attract the attention of other ladies and young ladies around.
She just wanted to embarrass Gu Qing!
Gu Qing was a little surprised to see her appearance restored, but she returned to normal in an instant.
"You'd better take care of yourself first!"
It’s so unlucky that my good mood was disturbed like this.
Seeing Gu Qing's disgusted eyes, Gu Miao was furious, but remembering his aunt's instructions last night, he had to put on a smile and look at her in a pretended affectionate manner.
"Don't blame me, big sister. I was just joking. Since you don't like it, I won't say it again in the future."
She raised her hand and tried to hold Gu Qing's arm, but was ruthlessly pushed away by him.
"Gu Miao, put away your little thoughts. I don't have time to play tricks on you, and you should stop annoying me."
Gu Qing didn't even bother to look at her and just left.
Gu Miao's hands froze in place, and the smile he had managed to maintain disappeared at this moment.
This bitch actually dared to do this to herself!
Her eyes were filled with raging anger as she shot at Gu Qing, wishing to tear him to pieces.
The sounds of people talking around him rang in his ears, and Gu Miao could no longer hold back. His face turned blue and red, looking extremely ugly.
She gritted her teeth, not wanting to be the subject of conversation, and followed him in through the door.
…
As soon as Gu Qing entered the room, he was invited over by the head nanny beside the wife of the Marquis of Fucheng.
"See you, ma'am."
Gu Qing saluted respectfully, with proper and graceful manners.
The wife of the Marquis of Fucheng was talking to several other close ladies at the moment. When she saw Gu Qing coming, she immediately glanced at her with a hint of a smile on her lips.
"Get up!"
The wife of the Marquis of Fucheng waved to her, motioning her to come forward and introduced her to the other people.
"This is the wife of Chen Zhizhou I mentioned to you—Gu Qing. This child is smart and sensible. Excellent. When you spend more time with her in the future, you will definitely appreciate her merits."
Her words were extremely serious.
Upon hearing this, the other people couldn't help but look at Gu Qing with curiosity.
They all knew that the wife of Marquis Fucheng rarely praised others, so anyone who could receive such praise from her must be no ordinary person.
Therefore, I had to look at her with a higher regard.
Gu Qing felt a little embarrassed by the praise and quickly said, "Madam, you are praising me. I am just a weak woman and I don't have any great abilities."
He is neither arrogant nor impatient, and remains humble despite receiving such praise.
Her image instantly improved a lot in the minds of the other people.
