Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 36 I’ll do it myself
Gu Nianchu quickly took two steps back: "Your Highness, please respect yourself."

Zhou Yuchen looked dejected: "Nianchu, I heard about the evil things Shen Ling's family did to you. I never thought that the eldest daughter of the Gu family would still be so devoted to Shen Ling, that scumbag."

She actually ignored his expression.

Gu Nianchu rolled her eyes: "Your Highness, which eye of yours can see my deep love for Shen Ling?"

Zhou Yuchen's eyes suddenly brightened: "Nianchu, what you mean is..."

He looked at Gu Nianchu eagerly, wanting to see the shadow of the willful and bright girl in the past in the eyes of the dignified woman in front of him.

Gu Nianchu turned his head away: "Your Highness, if you are still thinking about something else, then it is best for us not to meet again in the future."

Zhou Yuchen was so angry that he punched the old plum tree beside him hard. A rustling sound was heard, and petals began to rain in the air. The red plum blossoms on the branches danced in the air.

"Gu Nianchu, hello, you are so well!"

Zhou Yuchen turned and left. Gu Nianchu reached out and caught a few plum petals. The red plum blossom looked particularly charming in the white palm of his hand.

Xie Jinghong hurried over and saw Gu Nianchu in a daze under the plum tree.

"Cousin, what happened? Why did His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi leave? I called him, but he ignored me."

Xie Jinghong's voice rang out, and Gu Nianchu came back to her senses. She smiled lightly, "Your Highness must be busy with something, Jinghong, please accompany your cousin to appreciate the plum blossoms. The plum blossoms in Xie Garden are in full bloom this year."

Xie Jinghong said "oh" and accompanied Gu Nianchu to appreciate the plum blossoms: "Cousin, I'll have someone collect all these petals and use them to make tea for you."

Gu Nianchu shook her head: "No, your cousin is just a rough person, how can she be so particular? Save it for Xilan, she is an elegant girl, she can use it."

Xie Jinghong did not force it and accompanied Gu Nianchu to appreciate the plum blossoms.

"Cousin, no matter what you want to do, we support you. Don't think that your divorce will have a bad impact on the girls of the Gu family or the Xie family. It's not your fault that you were bitten by a vicious dog. The fault lies with the vicious dog."

"If you insist on thinking that being bitten by a vicious dog is a person's fault, then such a family will not treat our girl well, so it's better not to marry her."

The words spoken by the brilliant Xie Jinghong made Gu Nianchu want to cry.

"Jinghong, you said it very well. It turns out that you still need to study. People in our Gu family can't say such things."

Gu Nianchu smiled, and Xie Jinghong saw her smile and smiled too.

"Cousin, please don't say that. My cousin will be upset if he hears you say that. He is also a serious science student."

Hearing Xie Jinghong mention his elder brother, Gu Nianchu's eyebrows softened: "Well, my elder brother is the only scholar in our family."

But the eldest brother couldn't say such words. He would only say that if anyone dared to look down on the girl from the Gu family, he would beat him to death.

Seeing that his cousin was in a much better mood, Xie Jinghong smiled even more.

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard that His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi had passed away, he was not surprised: "My Third Brother is always so busy. He just came back from the northwest, and my father gave him a lot of things to do."

This explains Zhou Yuchen's sudden departure.

Xie Xilan reached out and held Gu Nianchu's hand: "Cousin." Gu Nianchu held her hand back: "Xilan, I'm fine."

When it was almost time for lunch, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said goodbye. Xie Xilan saw him off to the carriage. When he came back, his little face was flushed.

Gu Nianchu had dinner with the Xie family, and Xie Jinghong and Xie Xilan, brother and sister, accompanied her to the street.

"Cousin, Jubaozhai has a lot of new jewelry. Let's go take a look."

Xie Xilan invited Gu Nianchu with a smile, and Gu Nianchu accepted. They entered Jubaozhai and the waiter came up to greet them warmly.

There were many young ladies in Jubaozhai looking at the newly arrived jewelry. When they saw Xie Xilan, they greeted him warmly. As for Gu Nianchu, they just gave a perfunctory greeting.

Some unfamiliar girls pointed fingers at Gu Nianchu from behind. Xie Xilan was unwilling to help Gu Nianchu, but Gu Nianchu held her hand and said, "Xilan, I can do it myself."

When did Miss Gu need her sister to help her out?
Xie Xilan gave a thumbs up to his cousin.

Gu Nianchu walked towards the girls who were talking about her secretly with a smile on her face. The girls were still in the boudoir and were a little panicked.

"Mrs. Crown Prince."

The girls bowed slightly, and Gu Nianchu smiled: "What interesting things are you talking about, let's listen together."

The girls looked at each other, they didn't expect Gu Nianchu to ask them directly.

No one dared to say what they had just said.

Gu Nianchu pointed at a young lady and said, "You are the eldest daughter of Censor Zhang's family, right? Master Zhang is an upright person who never hides anything from others. Is Miss Zhang going to bring shame to Master Zhang's reputation?"

Miss Zhang is only at the age of not yet coming of age. Provoked by Gu Nianchu, she stepped forward fearlessly and said, "Madam, we were just wondering why you were in the mood to shop for jewelry. We heard that Master Shen was beaten half to death and sent back to the Marquis' Mansion yesterday. Madam was not at home to take care of Master Shen, but she actually came to Jubaozhai."

Gu Nianchu was not angry when she heard her say that: "Oh, so you ladies are curious about this, then I will tell you ladies. You ladies should also know that my so-called husband did something ridiculous a few days ago. He favored his concubine and neglected his wife. I still waited on him eagerly. Do you think it is right?"

Several young ladies covered their mouths in horror, but Miss Zhang looked at Gu Nianchu with admiration: "Madam, you are right. We were rude. Please forgive us for our rude words and offense."

Miss Zhang bowed to apologize, and Gu Nianchu reached out to support her: "Miss Zhang, you are too kind."

When the young ladies saw Gu Nianchu like this, they apologized to her one after another. Xie Jinghong stepped forward and said softly, "Cousin, since you and I have known each other for a long time, why don't we have some tea and some snacks together?"

Jubaozhai has a special room for distinguished guests to rest. When Xie Jinghong made this suggestion, the shopkeeper who was waiting nearby immediately came forward with a smile and invited them to go to the lounge for tea.

Gu Nianchu smiled and said, "I wonder if the ladies would be willing to do me the honor?"

Naturally, the girls would not refuse the honor. Not to mention that Gu Nianchu was the eldest daughter of the Gu family, there were also the Xie family brothers and sisters next to her, who were the young masters and young ladies of the Duke's Mansion.

Xie Jinghong was a man, and he went to a tea room by himself, while the other girls followed Gu Nianchu and Xie Xilan into a large tea room.

These girls were about the same age as Xie Elan, and they were not very familiar with him. But when Xie Elan saw that Gu Nianchu was willing to make friends with them, a smile appeared on her face. She went to say hello to the sisters she was familiar with, and came over to accompany them.
