"Mrs. Yun...Mrs. Lu, you're welcome."
Zheng Xuanzhi reached out to help her, but suddenly felt that it would be bad for her if someone saw her, so he hurriedly withdrew his hand.
Gu Yunran stood up, not knowing what to say to the two of them for a moment. At that time, she insisted on marrying Lu Qingzhou, and Zheng Xuanzhi insisted on persuading her, but she would rather die than turn back.
But when she thought of Lu Qingzhou's harsh words to her just now, Gu Yunran felt embarrassed and said goodbye to Zheng Xuan in a hurry.
Zheng Xuanzhi guessed what she was thinking. He looked at her hurriedly fleeing back with no emotion on his face, but his hands behind his back were clenched tighter and tighter.
Lu Qingzhou, that poor country boy, is narrow-minded and doesn't know how to cherish her!
After Gu Yunran walked away, Zheng Xuanzhi bent down and picked up the peach blossom hairpin on the ground. This white jade hairpin was as pure and flawless as she was.
He put the hairpin to his nose and sniffed it. The faint fragrance of peach blossoms was intoxicating.
He carefully wrapped the hairpin in a handkerchief and placed it in his sleeve. The attendant asked awkwardly, "Third Master, do you want to return this hairpin to Madam Lu?"
Zheng Xuanzhi glared at his follower: "You're talking too much."
The follower lowered his head and kept his mouth shut.
Then, Zheng Xuanzhi added: "It has to be paid back."
If he kept her hairpin and someone with ulterior motives found out, it would be bad for her.
Coming to the birthday party, but causing so many troubles, Gu Yunran just felt annoyed. After the banquet, Gu Yunran just wanted to leave quickly.
But after looking around, I still couldn't find Yuling.
"Where did this girl go to the toilet?"
Unable to find Yuling, Gu Yunran found a pavilion to wait in case the girl couldn't find her. Unexpectedly, not far from the pavilion, she saw Princess Pingyang standing behind the rockery, with Nanny Li kneeling in front of her.
The pavilion was not far from the rockery, and Gu Yunran could hear their conversation clearly.
Nanny Li explained tremblingly: "Princess, I put the jade pendant on Gu Yunran. I don't know why..."
Before Nanny Li could finish her words, Princess Pingyang angrily slapped her face, "What a good thing you've done! You've made me lose face in front of Brother Qianchen."
"It's more of a hindrance than a help!"
"Yes, it's my fault. I messed up and I am willing to be punished." As Li Ma said this, she slapped herself several times, her face swollen.
He is so cruel to himself, he is a ruthless character.
Nanny Li continued, "Princess, I swear to heaven that I really put the jade pendant on Gu Yunran. She must have discovered it, broken it, and switched it with someone else, deliberately embarrassing you!"
Princess Pingyang took a deep breath and calmed herself down. After a moment of reflection, she said, "I underestimated Gu Yunran. I originally thought she was just a bookworm, but I didn't expect her to be so cunning."
The attempt to frame someone failed and ended up causing trouble for himself.
"I won't let her go." Princess Pingyang gritted her teeth, her eyes dark. "Madame Li, you are 80% responsible for the broken jade pendant."
"If you want to make amends, do one more thing."
Nanny Li nodded repeatedly, "Princess, if you say so, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"I just saw that Gu Yunran hasn't left yet." Princess Pingyang handed a bottle of medicine to Li Ma Ma, and then whispered a few words in her ear.
Nanny Li nodded repeatedly, then stood up and left in a hurry.
Gu Yunran frowned. She pricked up her ears but couldn't hear clearly what Princess Pingyang said to Nanny Li, but she knew it must not be a good thing.
After Princess Pingyang left, Gu Yunran got up and left as well. Just as he reached the garden where the banquet was being held, Yuling also returned.
She said hurriedly, "Madam, you are back. I have been looking for you for a long time."
"Where have you been all this time?"
"The shogunate is too big, and I'm lost." Yuling's expression flickered a little. As she spoke, she quickly lowered her head to hide her panic.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
"Never mind, it's not your fault. The shogunate is really big, it's normal to get lost."
Seeing that Gu Yunran had no doubts, Yuling breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's getting late, let's go."
"But the Fifth Miss hasn't come back yet. I'll go look for her."
Gu Yunran felt a tightness in his chest, "No need."
Thinking of the clean clothes that Mu Qianchen had changed into, she left impatiently. Lu Jiajia should be having a good time with Mu Qianchen now, right?
Just as Gu Yunran was about to leave with Yuling, Nanny Li came over with tea.
"Mrs. Lu, wait a minute!"
Gu Yunran raised an eyebrow and looked at Nanny Li and asked, "What's the matter?"
Nanny Li knelt on the ground with a thud and kowtowed heavily to Gu Yunran. She apologized sincerely, "This old servant made a mistake today due to a moment of confusion. I am here to apologize to Madam Lu. Please forgive me, Madam Lu!"
As she spoke, she held the teacup in both hands and handed the tea to Gu Yunran.
Gu Yunran looked at the cup of tea, her eyes darkening slightly. Suddenly, she said calmly, "I've already said that I'm a big shot and I've forgiven you a long time ago. Don't drink this tea."
However, Madam Li refused to give in. She said, "If Madam Lu doesn't drink this tea, it means she hasn't truly forgiven me."
"I have to drink it?"
Madam Li nodded: "Yes, this is my sincerity."
"good."
Gu Yunran picked up the teacup and blew it slowly against her lips. Princess Pingyang, who was standing not far away, raised her chin proudly.
Gu Yunran wanted to fight with her, but he was far from it.
There were still some guests in the shogunate who had not left, and she would let everyone see Gu Yunran's thief-like appearance soon.
