Today is the wedding banquet at General Gao's house, so Gu Yunran got up early, washed her face, sat in front of the bronze mirror, and Zhuye began to tie her hair.
Looking at her fair cheek in the bronze mirror, Gu Yunran reached out and gently touched the place where Lu Qingzhou had hurt her.
Now it is white and flawless, and is completely healed.
"Miss, thanks to Mr. Mu's ointment, otherwise such a deep mark would definitely leave a scar." Zhuye felt a pang of pain in his heart when he thought of this.
The young lady was the apple of Gu's eye in the family's eyes, but she never had a good day after marrying into the Lu family. She worked hard for the Lu family all day long, but the Lu family wanted to harm her every day.
Zhuye shed tears of distress and could not help complaining: "The Fourth Master is so cruel to treat the young lady so harshly."
Is it cruel?
Gu Yunran curled up the corner of his mouth into a faint smile, "That's not cruel enough."
What they did to her in her previous life was truly cruel!
Taohua came in and said, "Miss, I heard from the accountant that Aunt Fan went to the account office to look through the account book yesterday. What's strange is that she tore out two pages from the account book and took them away."
Gu Yunran frowned: "What's written on those two pages?"
"These are just some insignificant old accounts." Taohua was very curious, "What is Aunt Fan going to do?"
Gu Yunran thought about it and shook his head: "I don't know."
"Leave her alone for now."
"I have something important to do today, so don't worry about her for now."
Zhuye inserted a golden hairpin into Gu Yunran's hair and dotted a small ornament between her eyebrows. She smiled and praised, "Miss, you are so beautiful!"
"Today is someone else's wedding banquet, and you dressed me up so beautifully. Are you trying to steal the bride's limelight?" Gu Yunran stood up with a smile, walked to the sandalwood basin stand, and gently wiped her eyebrows with a wet towel.
"Come here, servant."
Zhuye took the towel from Gu Yunran and started to wipe it, cleaning the lotus flower hairpin. Zhuye then took the rouge to touch up Gu Yunran's makeup.
"Okay, Miss."
"Well, let's go."
After tidying up her clothes, Gu Yunran took the two maids out. When they reached the second door, they met Lu Qingqing who was on her way to Gao's house.
Seeing Lu Qingqing wearing the clothes she had snatched from her, Gu Yunran curled up the corners of her mouth into a faint smile.
If you walk a little closer, you can smell the faint floral scent on the clothes.
In the previous life, the Northern Barbarians provoked war on the border, and my grandfather and uncle fought hard. Later, due to lack of food and grass, they asked Lu Qingzhou to bring food and grass to support. Afterwards, Gu Yunran found out that Lu Qingzhou and Gao Yi went together, and only the two of them came back.
My grandfather and uncle died in battle on the frontier, and Lu Qingzhou and Gao Yi were awarded titles of nobility and generals for their contributions in repelling the enemy.
Now that she thinks about it, the deaths of her grandfather and uncle are not that simple. She doesn't believe that Lu Qingzhou and Gao Yi had nothing to do with it.
After living a new life, she knew that Gao Yi was allergic to peony pollen, so Gu Yunran soaked the fabric of the clothes with peony juice early on, and specially selected the best brocade with top-notch patterns and embroidery.
She knew that Lu Qingqing was short-sighted and would definitely instigate Lu Jiajia to snatch the clothes if she knew. So she reluctantly let her sisters snatch them away.
If Lu Qingqing wears this dress to attend the wedding banquet at Gao's house today, it will definitely sever the connection between the Lu and Gao families. Not only that, her husband Chen Lei's career will probably also be over.
Gu Yunran was in a good mood and greeted Lu Qingqing: "Hello, elder sister!"
Lu Qingqing snorted coldly, "Gu Yunran, please don't try to get close to me." She reached out and adjusted the red hairpin on her head. "My husband is the favorite student of General Gao, and now he is also the general. I am a distinguished guest in the Gao family, not on the same level as you."
Gu Yunran was not angry either, and bowed slightly: "Then I wish that the friendship between sister, brother-in-law and the Gao family will last forever."
"snort!"
Lu Qingqing snorted coldly, shook her sleeves, and got into the carriage. After getting in, she lifted the curtain and glanced at Gu Yunran with disdain.
"Now you know to curry favor with me, but it's too late!"
She snorted coldly, lowered the carriage curtain, and fantasized about a better future: "Isn't Gu Yunran the daughter of the Prime Minister? Her condescending attitude used to make me dislike her."
"Now my husband is the favorite student of General Gao. When General Gao retires, the position of General will belong to my husband. What does her father, the Prime Minister, mean? He will all depend on my husband's mood."
"Not to mention that annoying Lu Yunyi, he's just the commander of the Imperial Guards. When my husband takes the position of Grand Marshal, the first one he'll be dismissed from office will be Lu Yunyi."
"At that time, Gu Yunran will be trampled under my feet forever."
Lu Qingqing held her chin and fantasized about the beautiful future. As she thought about it, she felt that it was real and suddenly she laughed.
"Madam." Cuilan urged Lu Qingqing to back up, with a smile on her face, "Then this servant would like to congratulate Madam first."
Lu Qingqing was in a good mood and gave Cuilan a silver peanut. "You are my confidant, I will not treat you badly. By then, you will be the first-class maid in the Taiwei Mansion, and no one will not give you face when you go out."
The master and servant were fantasizing about the future and giggling foolishly. Their laughter was particularly harsh as it traveled through the carriage to the outside.
Gu Yunran's carriage followed closely behind Lu Qingqing. She frowned slightly and told the driver, "Master Ma, drive slower."
"Okay."
Uncle Ma was the old coachman who drove the carriage to the gate of the shogunate a few days ago and saved Gu Yunran. After he was injured, Doctor Mu personally treated him, so he recovered quickly.
"Miss, this way there will be no quarrel."
After a while, the carriage arrived at the gate of the Taiwei Mansion, and two servants were standing at the door to greet them.
Gu Yunran handed over the invitation and went in, but she didn't see Lu Qingqing either before or after.
"You run really fast."
Gu Yunran whispered softly.
She wanted to stay with Lu Qingqing for a while longer. After all, the clothes she was wearing had been soaked in peony juice for a long time, and the smell had dissipated a lot. The Impatiens balsamina on her hands was mixed with a special medicine that could stimulate the fragrance of peony.
"lady."
In the corridor, a voice as gentle as jade called her. Gu Yunran was stunned for a moment, and when she turned around, she saw Zheng Xuanzhi.
The young man was wearing a moon-white brocade robe and a jade crown on his head. He stood two steps away from Gu Yunran. After calling her name, he pursed his lips, looking shy.
"What is it?"
Gu Yunran asked.
She and Zheng Xuanzhi knew each other because of her brother. They were sworn brothers when they were studying in a private school. At that time, Zheng Xuanzhi often went to Gu's house to discuss academic matters with his brother. After a few visits, she got to know him.
But they were just acquaintances and didn't talk much. The only time they talked a lot was when she married Lu Qingzhou three years ago, and he and his brother came to persuade her.
Zheng Xuanzhi tried to persuade her earnestly for two hours but still failed. At that time, she didn't know what was wrong with her, but she insisted on marrying Lu Qingzhou.
Later, she introduced Zheng Xuanzhi to Lu Jiajia. What Gu Yunran didn't expect was that she only mentioned it briefly, but he agreed without even meeting Lu Jiajia.
Fortunately, I didn’t repeat the same mistake in this life.
