Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 115 The Inner Desire

After an incense stick of time passed, Gu Yanwen packed herself up properly, and brought the mung bean cake she made herself to her father's study.

Before she opened the door and went in, she heard a woman's delicate laughter from inside, and she was most familiar with that voice. Since her mother was divorced, that woman has taken her mother's place in Hengguangyuan. She snatched away her father's heart, and even took away the management right of Hengguangyuan.

Thinking of that woman from a humble family background approaching her father step by step, and occupying the position that once belonged to her mother, Gu Yanwen felt an evil fire in her heart. torn.

But fortunately, at the last moment, she controlled herself.

Just like what her elder brother said, she is no longer the big girl in the Gu family backed by her parents in the past. If she wants to survive in the Gu family well, she must change from her previous arrogance and domineering, and she must be cautious; She has to be careful with the people in the big house, even the people around her father.

Especially Aunt Xiang, who is in charge of Hengguang Academy now, she needs to treat each other with respect, and she can no longer be regarded as a poor woman with a poor family.

Gu Yanwen looked at the carefully made mung bean cake on the plate, and then at the closed door in front of her. She gritted her teeth to suppress her anger, and told herself that she had worked so hard for so long, so she couldn't be completely defeated at this time; then she took a few deep breaths After moving, there was a soft knock on the door.

In the study room, it is the color of red sleeves adding fragrance.

Aunt Xiang is a woman with a bit of cultural background, so Gu Shen will occasionally call her to accompany him to read and write. Regarding this point, Aunt Ruan will never be able to compare with Aunt Xiang.

Aunt Ruan was born in a brothel, and what she is best at is bed work. Gu Shen carried her into the mansion and gave her a title. For me, I never feel that there are too many women around me, only that there are too few of them.

Aunt Xiang is gentle and demure, just like a daffodil blooming in the water. The gorgeous roses in the flowers, infinitely graceful, charming and charming, such a woman can only know how seductive she is only when she is bullied on the bed.

When Jiang Shi was there before, Gu Shen was not stingy and doted on her, but Jiang Shi was too jealous and pungent, and sometimes gave her too much good looks, and would make her go to the house instead, so the relationship between Gu Shen and Jiang Shi The way is to hang out lukewarmly, go to see her when you think about it, and forget about her when you don't think about it; you will never let her get used to it.

It is precisely because of seeing through his attitude that Jiang shi is extremely sad; he hates those vixens who snatched Gu Shen's attention even more in his heart.

Right now, Gu Shen was holding Aunt Xiang's little hand from behind to teach her to write, when suddenly he heard a knock on the door, and Aunt Xiang jumped out of Gu Shen's arms like a frightened rabbit. Jump away; stand on the side, as if someone broke into doing something bad, blushing and tidying up his appearance, blinking a pair of watery eyes, looking at Gu Shen pitifully.

What Gu Shen likes to look at most is Aunt Xiang's shy eyes. Now that she is staring at her like this, he really wished he could hug the beauty into his arms and kiss her; Reminding him that there are indeed people outside.

It's rare for me to find time to do some elegant things with a beauty. I didn't expect it to be interrupted so quickly. Gu Shen's expression and tone were not very good. After sitting back on the wide-backed chair, he shouted towards the door: "Who is it?" ,Come in."

Gu Yanwen naturally heard her father's displeased tone, and immediately let out a cold snort in her heart, but her face was filled with smiles, she walked in with a plate, came to Gu Shen, bowed and saluted: "Wenwen here Dad, hello, I heard from the concierge that Dad came back early today, so Wenwen personally made some mung bean cakes for Dad to taste."

Gu Shen looked at the eldest daughter who looked very much like the Jiang family, and almost subconsciously squinted his eyes.

This daughter of his knows best what kind of personality and temperament she is. As a father, he almost knows it well; he never believes that a person's nature can be changed so easily, such as the biological daughter in front of him. Right; it's obviously a character like Jiang's who barks his teeth and claws, why does he suddenly become tender and tender now?
Over the years, he has never eaten pastries made by his own daughter.

With an almost perfect smile on Gu Shen's mouth, he looked at the tray in Gu Yanwen's hand, looked at the crystal clear mung bean cake, and said with surprise in his tone: "I really didn't expect Wenwen to be good at cooking. Let the father be surprised, quickly bring it to the father to see, this is the first time for the father to eat something made by his daughter."

Gu Yanwen was naturally pleased with the joy in Gu Shen's tone; she knew that as long as she took the initiative to approach her father, he would naturally not push her away. In this world, there is no parent who does not love their child of.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanwen smugly glanced at Aunt Xiang at the side, and the words 'Hu Meizi' were clearly written in her eyes.

It's just that the look came and went so quickly, Gu Shen almost didn't notice it, but Aunt Xiang who was standing on the side was keenly aware of Gu Yanwen's dislike for her, and subconsciously smiled wryly.

In the past, when the second wife was in Hengguangyuan, she took pleasure in bullying their mother and daughter. At that time, for her own children, she could only choose not to fight or grab. Even if she was bullied to the head, she chose to endure it because she Know exactly what your identity is.

Right now, although the second wife has been divorced, she is still an unworthy aunt. Although she has some power in her hands now, what is that power for nothing?
Gu Yanwen didn't like her before, and now I'm afraid she will only dislike her even more. Considering her gentle and deceitful daughter, Aunt Xiang just wants to avoid Gu Yanwen, lest she stand in front of her and make her feel even more unhappy When the time comes, Gu Yanwen will bully Gu Yanling even more ruthlessly.

Thinking of this, Aunt Xiang took a step forward, bowed to Gu Shen, and said: "Master, I suddenly remembered that I cooked soup on the small stove in the kitchen when I came here. It's been so long now, my wife I am worried that the soup will be boiled dry, so I am anxious to go back and have a look; I also ask the master to agree that I will retire, and I will wait for the next time, and then come to serve the master."

Gu Shen picked up a piece of the mung bean cake on the plate and tasted it. Although it wasn't the ultimate delicacy, the taste was okay, and it could be seen that his daughter wasted no effort to cater to him.

However, after hearing Aunt Xiang's words, Gu Shen glanced lightly at Gu Yanwen who was on the side. His daughter thought that she had become a little smarter after going through these things, but she didn't. When I thought about it, I was still the same as before, so stupid.

Did she think that her dislike for Aunt Xiang was really as successful as concealing it?He knows Aunt Xiang's character. This woman is the weakest, easy to bully, and very timid. She usually waits by his side. As long as he doesn't tell her to leave, she dare not even mention it.

Right now, Aunt Xiang offered to leave, and even found such a lame reason; it seems that his 'behaved' eldest daughter is putting pressure on Aunt Xiang again, otherwise, why would Aunt Xiang ask to resign at this time? ?
As if he couldn't see the pleading in Aunt Xiang's eyes, Gu Shen picked up the mung bean cake in his hand and handed it to Aunt Xiang, "You, you have been with me for so long, why is your brain still not working? ? To you, is the soup you cook on the stove more important than my master and I? Xiang’er, be good, you don’t need that soup, come and taste Wenwen’s handicraft. Your craftsmanship is the best, and I remember that you are best at making these pastries, so you can come and judge Wenwen, so that she will have more room to improve next time."

Aunt Xiang didn't expect that Gu Shen not only wouldn't let her go, but also asked her to taste the pastry made by Gu Yanwen, and also asked her to judge Gu Yanwen's craftsmanship?
This is not to kill her what is it?
Aunt Xiang didn't even have the courage to raise her head to look at Gu Yanwen, she shrank into a ball like a quail that had drowned in the water, she was almost trembling.

As for Gu Yanwen, after seeing Aunt Xiang's unpromising appearance, she even let out a sneer in her heart; she is really an unworthy woman, but she can be frightened into such a state just in front of her and her father, no wonder she can give birth to such an unpromising girl daughter.

The pastries she worked so hard to make for so long, if they were fed into this woman's stomach, wouldn't it be in vain?

Therefore, without waiting for Aunt Xiang's answer, Gu Yanwen stood up first. She couldn't control her emotions for a while, and looked at Aunt Xiang coldly, and said: "I have heard about Aunt Xiang's craftsmanship for a long time, but father, This is Wenwen's first time making this mung bean cake, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you to ask Aunt Xiang to taste it and give advice? How about letting Aunt Xiang taste it after Wenwen feels that she has almost practiced her craft?"

Gu Shen naturally saw Gu Yanwen's arrogance and conceit at a glance. She didn't let Aunt Xiang come to taste the mung bean cake. Why was she worried that he was embarrassing her?It is clear that people like Aunt Xiang are not worthy of eating things made by her own hands.

Gu Shen finally had such a little bit of good interest, all of which faded away at this moment.

He has been comparing himself with his elder brother all his life, when he was in school, when he married his wife, and in the end even when it comes to childbearing.

But after the comparison, he lost everything; not only was he inferior to his own brother in front of his father, but even the daughter he gave birth to was not as smart as the one born to his brother.

Thinking of this, Gu Shen's face immediately collapsed, and his expression when looking at Gu Yanwen suddenly became sinister.
