Chapter 266 The Princess's Tricks
Zhou Yuzhi sighed. In fact, he had a lot of things he wanted to say to Gu Runci, but Gu Runci never gave him the chance.
Zhou Qinzhu didn't understand this and thought that her second brother was really protecting her wholeheartedly.
"Second brother, don't say that. We can't complain about anything that happened now. After all, what happened back then did hurt her."
Zhou Yuzhi said, "How old were you back then? Why would she target you too?"
Noticing the two people's gazes, Gu Ruanci glanced over here with contempt.
"What's wrong, Ruanci?" Wu Yixuan noticed Gu Ruanci's abnormality.
"Nothing, there are two idiots looking at me over there."
When Gu Ruanci was speaking, Wu Yixuan's gaze had already shifted over.
She also disliked the Zhou brothers and sisters when she saw them.
"They are jealous of you now, so ignore them."
Wu Yixuan smiled lightly. She understood that although Gu Ruanci seemed indifferent, he had his own standards for measuring things.
She has her own judgment and opinions about everyone in the Zhou family.
Gu Ruanci withdrew her gaze, unwilling to have any more entanglements with the Zhou brothers and sisters.
She turned to Wu Yixuan and said, "Sister-in-law, don't pay attention to them. Let's go see what Haiyue is doing."
Wu Yixuan nodded, and the two left side by side, leaving behind two elegant figures.
The Zhou brothers and sisters looked at the direction they left, each with different feelings in their hearts.
Zhou Qinzhu secretly clenched her fists and vowed that one day she would make Gu Ruanci pay for everything she had done.
Zhou Yuzhi sighed silently. He knew that in this complicated entanglement of grievances, it was difficult for everyone to remain immune.
Gu Ruanci was indeed hurt back then, and he went from being disdainful at first to wanting to make amends now.
It’s a pity that Gu Ruanci may not give them this opportunity.
Lu Shuyi was also present today, but there was no one around her. Ever since she was repeatedly confined to her house, those noble ladies had automatically kept their distance from her.
Although no one was surprised by her appearance here today, they still didn't dare to approach her.
On the contrary, Lu Shuyi herself did not mind the gazes of the crowd and even walked over to Gu Ruanci.
"I heard that the Chaoyang County Lady is planning to open a cosmetics shop. Since it's hard to make money from medicinal herbs, she's going to start selling it to women again?"
Sure enough, she was still annoying as soon as she opened her mouth.
Gu Ruanci helped her correct it: "It's not on the body, it's on the face."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shuyi's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure, a cold smile curling up her lips. "Humph, whether it's on the body or the face, it's all for the sake of making money. Princess Chaoyang, you really know how to find business opportunities. It seems that over the years you've not only learned medical skills, but also how to make money."
Gu Ruanci shook her head slightly, a hint of disdain in her eyes: "Grand Princess, you are wrong. I opened this cosmetics shop not just to make money. Women love beauty, it is natural. I just want to provide them with better products to make them more confident and beautiful. Grand Princess, please come and support me when the time comes."
"That's natural, but the county lord is not without competitors."
Lu Shuyi betrayed Lu Wenxue without hesitation.
She knew that Lu Wenxue wanted to use her and further sow discord between her and Gu Ruanci. She would not be fooled, but she would not let Lu Wenxue have an easy time.
"I don't know why the eldest princess said that." Gu Ruanci knew that Lu Shuyi came to her not just to say a few words to her.
As expected, Lu Shuyi said, "Wen Xue came to me a few days ago and wanted to open a cosmetics shop with me to steal your business."
Gu Ruanci didn't show much surprise when she heard this, as if she had already expected it. She smiled slightly and said, "So that's how it is. The eldest princess is planning to join forces with the Mingyue County Master to deal with me?"
Lu Shuyi was not surprised to see this.
She knew that with Gu Ruanci's personality, she would not panic, and would instead remain calm despite some uneasiness.
"You are joking, my lady. I have no such intention. But since Wen Xue has come to see me, I must tell you about this matter. As for the competition between you two, I do not want to interfere."
Gu Ruanci nodded, looking at Lu Shuyi with a half-smile: "The Grand Princess is really good at talking. She doesn't want to intervene, but she told me. Isn't this obviously asking me to prepare myself and fight to the death with the Princess Mingyue? However, I still want to thank the Grand Princess for reminding me."
Lu Shuyi did not deny anything, but said: "No matter what the county lady thinks, I have said everything I wanted to say. You can do whatever you want."
After saying that, Lu Shuyi turned and left.
Gu Ruanci looked at her back, a sneer flashing in his eyes.
She really didn't expect that Lu Wenxue would be so impulsive and stupid.
Wu Yixuan, who had been silent just now, was also a little shocked.
"Everyone knows you're promoting the cosmetics store, and there must be some cosmetics mixed with drugs. What can she use to compete with you?"
"It's because I know I'm not capable that I'm trying to win over the eldest princess. After all, in her opinion, the eldest princess should hate me even more. I didn't help the eldest princess with her illness, and I made her lose face so much. Now I can't even hold a banquet. I was almost completely abandoned by the emperor and the empress."
Gu Ruanci understood Lu Wenxue's mentality. At this time, she still wanted to borrow a knife.
"Then how do you plan to deal with it?" Wu Yixuan asked.
"She may not be able to accomplish this. She is a fool, but Concubine Wen is not, and Wen Zimei is even less so. If they knew about this, they would definitely not agree. And she also knows that she can't do it, otherwise she wouldn't try to win over the princess. If she really wanted to make trouble for me, she might think of some other ways."
Gu Ruanci paused for a moment before continuing, "However, if an enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals, and if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. Since I've decided to do this, I won't give up easily. No matter what method she uses, I will have a plan to deal with it."
Wu Yixuan nodded when she heard this. She knew that Gu Ruanci was always smart and had her own ideas, so she didn't ask any more questions.
When the two found Wen Haiyue, she was being pulled by a group of women, who were saying some inexplicable compliments.
"Haiyue, why are you here?" Wu Yixuan knew at a glance that Wen Haiyue couldn't escape.
Wen Haiyue breathed a sigh of relief. Finally someone came to rescue her.
She said something to the group of women and finally escaped from their unwilling gazes.
"What's wrong? You looked tired and helpless when you were dealing with them just now." Wu Yixuan asked.
Wen Haiyue said: "I don't even want to say it, it's simply incomprehensible..."
Gu Ruanci guessed based on her state: "Maybe he's recommending his own daughter, who's gentle and obedient, and doesn't fight or compete, hoping she can become the Second Prince's concubine in the future?"
