Chapter 21: Confronting Someone in the Street

Gu Wanning looked up and saw a young woman with her head full of jewels, she looked about fourteen or fifteen years old, her skin was very white, but she had a little baby fat.

At first glance, she looked quite cute.

But her eyes were disdainful, her gaze was mocking, it was clear that she was up to no good.

What was her name?

Gu Wanning thought for a long time before she remembered that her name was Lu Baozhu, she was the legitimate granddaughter of the Duke of Jingguo, she was very favored, and she was a little bit of a middle schooler.

Lu Baozhu was good friends with Gu Wanqing, she was Gu Wanqing’s little shadow.

The previous owner had many conflicts with Gu Wanqing, so Lu Baozhu naturally sided with Gu Wanqing.

So when she saw Gu Wanning now, she deliberately provoked her.

Gu Wanning was too lazy to deal with such a little brat, although the previous owner’s consciousness was already furious and wanted to fight back.

“Let’s go.” Gu Wanning said calmly.

She wanted to tell the previous owner, silly girl, whether it’s family love or love, you can’t force it.

The depth of the relationship between people is destined, you can’t force it.

They don’t love you, you should just love yourself.

She wanted to let it go, but Lu Baozhu felt that she was being ignored and insulted, she reached out to stop her, she stomped her foot and shouted loudly, “Stop right there!”

Many people around turned their heads to look.

Some people even gathered around to watch the fun.

“What are you doing? Do you want to fight?” The fourth concubine rolled up her sleeves, “A good dog doesn’t block the way, get lost!”

The second concubine covered her lips and smiled, “Madam, does this little sister also want to enter the Marquis’s mansion to serve the Marquis? Are we going to have another sister?”

Oh, what a little mouth, it’s really likable.

Gu Wanning looked at Lu Baozhu, who was blushing, with a playful smile, “Although I am the mistress of the Marquis’s mansion, the Marquis likes beautiful women, you want to be the Marquis’s concubine, but the Marquis wouldn’t like you. Why are you making things difficult for me? Why don’t you go back to your father and brother, give them more dowry, ask the Marquis for a favor, maybe you can become the fifth concubine in the Marquis’s mansion.”

One, you’re ugly.

Two, you’re jealous of me, so you’re trying to attract attention.

Since she wanted to humiliate her in public, then don’t blame her for being impolite.

The grievances and entanglements between the previous owner and Gu Wanqing, who was right and who was wrong, that was their business.

Do you, an ugly thing, need to jump out and criticize and attract attention?

Lu Baozhu was furious, she pointed at Gu Wanning and said, “You think everyone is as shameless as you, you’re obsessed with your brother-in-law, you…”

“I’m obsessed with my brother-in-law?” Gu Wanning chuckled, “I see you’re so flustered, it’s like I’m obsessed with your man. So you’re talking about my brother-in-law, I have to thank you for being so concerned about my brother-in-law! Should I have someone tell my sister to appreciate your kindness?”

“You…” Lu Baozhu was so angry that she couldn’t speak.

“Little girl,” Gu Wanning’s lips curled up, “You’re so lucky to be born into this family, cherish it. Let your father and brother find you a good family, be a proper wife, don’t always be thinking about other people’s brother-in-law, that’s not good. Let’s go!”

“Yes.”

“Who’s thinking about the King of Qin?”

“Oh, I have more than one brother-in-law, you’re the one who jumped to conclusions.”

Although Chief Minister Gu only had two daughters, he also had brothers, and the children of several families were ranked together, so Gu Wanning wasn’t lying.

Lu Baozhu was so angry that she couldn’t speak, she reached out to push Gu Wanning.

“Why are you so annoying!” The fourth concubine directly pushed her, making her stumble, “We’ve already said that a good dog doesn’t block the way, we’re busy! If you like your brother-in-law, go find him yourself.”

Lu Baozhu’s face turned purple, if it hadn’t been for the maids and servants holding her back, she would have gone to fight Gu Wanning.

“Those who insult others will be insulted themselves, especially someone like me who is vengeful, stay away from me next time.” Gu Wanning said coldly, “If you’re willing to be someone’s pawn, you have to be prepared to be broken.”

“What’s going on? What are you all gathered here for?”

Gu Wanning looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face.

Familiar because this was her brother, she had lived under the same roof with him for years.

Unfamiliar because Xu Weibei’s punch was really not light, Gu Anqi’s face was still bruised, it looked a little funny.

You know, Gu Anqi was the most popular young man in the capital back then.

He was tall, talented, he had a禁欲脸 (jinyù liǎn, a face that makes people feel abstinent), he was upright and proper, attracting countless women to fall for him.

If it hadn’t been for Gu Yuan Shi’s early arrangement of his marriage, such a perfect son-in-law would have been fought over by the noble families.

Unfortunately, Gu Anqi was the person the previous owner hated the most, second only to Gu Wanqing.

“Brother Gu.” Lu Baozhu went over to pull Gu Anqi’s sleeve as if she had seen a relative.

Gu Anqi dodged without a trace, he said softly, “You’re here too, go back quickly. I saw your second brother when I came here, he was looking for you.”

“I’m not going, Brother, she bullied me.” Lu Baozhu pointed at Gu Wanning, she complained aggrievedly.

Gu Wanning snorted, “Let’s go.”

She didn’t even bother to give Gu Anqi a look.

“Wait.” Gu Anqi stopped her, then he said to Lu Baozhu, “There might be a misunderstanding, I’ll go and explain to your second brother after I figure it out. You go back first, I have something to say to… the Marquis’s wife.”

Lu Baozhu wanted to say something, but when she saw Gu Anqi’s serious expression, she could only bow to him and reluctantly step aside.

Gu Anqi pointed to the teahouse not far away and said to Gu Wanning, “We haven’t seen each other for a long time, let’s have a cup of tea together.”

Gu Wanning had been married for three years, and she had never gone back to her family’s house.

Gu Wanning thought for a moment and said, “You guys go around and have a look, I’ll be back soon. Especially Yayaya, don’t wander off, if we can’t find you, we won’t care about you.”

“Madam, don’t worry.” The fourth concubine assured her that she would never wander off.

Gu Wanning took Er’ya and followed Gu Anqi to a private room in the teahouse.

“Why did you have a conflict with her again? It’s not good to do this to you in the street.”

It’s that tone again.

On the surface, he was concerned about her, but in reality, he didn’t distinguish right from wrong.

“A dog bites me, should I reflect on why I attract dogs?” Gu Wanning slammed her teacup on the table, “Then should Brother reflect on why the Marquis hit you and disrupted the court?”

Gu Anqi looked at Gu Wanning with a hint of surprise.

Their brother-sister relationship had always been tense, but in the past, Gu Wanning had always been unreasonable.

Today, she seemed to have become sharp-tongued, making people uncomfortable, but he didn’t know how to refute her.

“I don’t know what happened between you and Baozhu, but our two families have a good relationship, and she’s close to Wanqing…”

“Gu Wanqing’s dog bites me, can’t I even hit the dog?”

“Second Sister, how can you address your elder sister directly?” Gu Anqi looked disapproving, “Baozhu might have been impulsive today, but Wanqing has always been good to you.”
