Chapter 96 The Princess

Under the old lady's probing eyes, Xin You said lightly: "It's just a difficult guest."

"Oh, that's how it is." The old lady's face stretched out.

Sensing the old lady's relaxation, Xinyou pondered secretly.

It seems that the old lady doesn't want her granddaughter to get close to Dai Ze.But since this is the case, why did the old lady take the initiative to contact Gu Changbo?It can't be purely out of good intentions, can it?
Xin You didn't think that the old lady who valued money more than her granddaughter was the kind of person.

Is it—

Xin You recalled Mrs. Gu Changbo's scrutinizing eyes, and came up with a guess: Could it be that the old lady is planning for her granddaughter's marriage?

Is that Duan Yunhua, or Duan Yunling?
This guess made Xin You feel a little complicated.

If the old lady has this plan, she will definitely find opportunities to get in touch with Guchangbo's mansion more, which is a good thing for her.

But it's hard to say if this marriage falls on the woman.It's okay for those who only want to be rich, but if they value their husband's character more, marrying someone like Dai Ze is a disaster.

What's more, once it is determined that Gu Changbo is the one who killed his mother, she and Gu Changbo's house will never die...

Xin You decided to find an opportunity to find out what Duan Yunling meant, and remind him if the other party has no intention of gaining power and wealth.As for Duan Yunhua, she didn't mind meddling.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped and Bailu Mountain arrived.

Xin You helped the old lady get out of the carriage, and saw Dai Ze riding beside Mrs. Gu Changbo's carriage at a glance.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, Dai Ze also looked this way, met Xin You's gaze, his brows and eyes fluttered, showing a smile that he thought was romantic and suave.

Xinyou: "..."

The old lady took a step to block that line of sight, waiting for her daughters-in-law and granddaughters to gather and walk up the mountain.

Gu Changbo and his wife also got out of the carriage.

Seeing that her son didn't disappear in a flash like usual, but walked beside him slowly, Mrs. Gu Changbo knew it in her heart.

This is the girl who fell in love with the Shaoqing Mansion, and it is likely to be the cousin girl.

Mrs. Gu Changbo doesn't take it seriously if it's the daughter of an ordinary family. After all, there have been too many similar things in the past two years, and the trouble will pass after a while. But if she is a girl from an official family, she can only marry her back home. up.

With Gu Changbo's words, Mrs. Gu Changbo also figured it out. The daughter-in-law's family status is almost fine, but this kind of orphan girl is definitely not good.

Now that the requirements have been lowered, there are many options to choose from, just take advantage of Taqiu to take a look.

With this thought in mind, Mrs. Gu Changbo was even more unwilling to get close to the people from the Shaoqing Mansion, so she deliberately slowed down her pace.

Seeing Xinyou walking farther and farther, Dai Ze became a little anxious: "Father, mother, you go slowly, I'll pick a good place first—"

Mrs. Gu Changbo grabbed her son and said, "Don't run around alone, today is a family climbing up to pray for blessings."

Dai Ze wanted to say more, but Gu Changbo glared at him: "We'll talk later!"

"Oh." Dai Ze reluctantly agreed.

Bailu Mountain is not too high, the mountain is gentle and open, and many gauze curtains have been erected on the top of the mountain.

After all, the old lady was getting old, and after exchanging greetings with acquaintances, she sat in the tent that had been set up.

"It's rare to come out together, you can play as you like."

Seeing Mrs. Gu Changbo's estranged attitude at the foot of the mountain, the old lady knew that there was little hope of planning for her two granddaughters.Disappointment is not counted, after all, the two granddaughters have shortcomings, the mother of the second girl was divorced, and the third girl was a concubine.

For the old lady, if this trial fails to achieve another goal, as long as it succeeds, it will make money.

"Cousin Qing, let's go over there, there are a lot of wild flowers." Duan Yunling took Xin You's hand.

Xin You was about to have a private chat with Duan Yunling, so she said hello, and they went hand in hand to the place full of wild flowers.

Duan Yunhua, who stayed where he was, had frost on his pretty face.

They were blatantly ostracizing her outside, which was a disregard for face.

But no matter how angry he was, it was impossible for Duan Yunhua to catch up in public to settle accounts, so he could only walk in another direction with a cold face.

There are not many kinds of mountain flowers in late autumn, but many dogwood trees bear round fruits, which are crystal clear like strings of rubies.

Duan Yunling raised his hand and folded one, and said with a smile, "Cousin Qing, I gave it to you."

"Thank you."

"Then I'll put it on for you."

Xin You lowered her head slightly, and cooperated with Duan Yunling to insert a string of cornel into her hair, and then folded a bunch of cornel for Duan Yunling to wear as well.

"I hope my cousin is safe and sound."

"I also wish my cousin Ling to be safe and sound."

The two looked at each other's glowing red dogwood fruit and smiled at each other.

The atmosphere was just right, and Xin You asked softly, "What do cousin Ling think of Gu Changbo's son?"

Duan Yunling was startled, and then changed his expression: "Cousin Qing, do you... like that apprentice?"

"lecher?"

Duan Yunling whispered: "Last spring, my eldest sister and I went out together, and saw him molesting a young lady in the street. The young lady was so angry that she wanted to report to the police, and he threatened her by declaring his identity, then left with a piece of silver... ..."

"If Ling cousin is allowed to marry Gu Changbo's son—"

Duan Yunling blurted out: "Then I would rather die!"

Xin You confirmed Duan Yunling's thoughts, and felt a little relieved.

If Duan Yunling is all about pursuing wealth, she will have to spend some time talking.

"Cousin Qing, why did you bring this up suddenly? Is there something wrong?" Duan Yunling calmed down, feeling something was wrong.

"I ran into Gu Changbo's family today, and I was worried that my grandmother would have the idea of ​​marrying him. If Ling Cousin has no intentions, try to avoid it."

Given the gap between the two families, even if Guchangbo's mansion is willing to marry Shaoqing's mansion, the right to choose is with the other party, instead of the old lady choosing whichever one she wants.In this case, as long as you don't move in front of Mrs. Gu Changbo, and avoid contact with Dai Ze, the problem will not be too big.

"Thank you cousin for reminding me, I must stay far away from them!"

After that, Duan Yunling lost the mood to wander around, and dragged Xin You to a place where there were few people.

However, more and more people came to Bailu Mountain to resign in autumn.I thought it was a place with few people, but a group of people suddenly appeared in front of it, and it turned out that it was Princess Zhaoyang who had arrived.

Princess Zhaoyang is the only younger sister of Emperor Xingyuan. After the death of her son-in-law, she never remarried and has a son and a daughter.

Xinyou knew that this should be the aunt her mother mentioned, so she looked over curiously.

At this glance, she couldn't help but froze.

She is somewhat similar to Princess Zhaoyang...

This kind of resemblance brought about by blood relationship makes Xinyou feel delicate.

Princess Zhaoyang was surrounded by a group of people and gradually approached. A girl with picturesque eyes beside her saw Xin You and pulled Princess Zhaoyang's sleeve.

"What's the matter, Fu'er?" Princess Zhaoyang lowered her head and asked.

"Mother, that sister looks like you."

The child's voice was crisp and clear, and countless eyes were cast on Xinyou.
