Wanfu, the Reborn Empress

Chapter 60 The White Lotus with Dual Personality
She still remembered what her father had repeatedly told her, asking her not to interfere with the people in the East Court casually, as long as it was an order from the East Court, she must do it as soon as possible.

When Grand Master Gu is in the court or in the capital, he is an existence under one person. Could it be that the person who can be treated with such care by his father is an ordinary person?

Normally, she thought that she just had to follow her father's instructions and pay close attention to the situation in the east courtyard, but she didn't expect that one day, that person would take the initiative to find her daughter; A man's sudden gesture of affection is definitely with a purpose in mind.

Moreover, her delicate appearance is so bright, charming, charming, what if that person really takes a fancy to her delicate appearance, what should I do?
It seems that in the evening, she must drag the master to see her father, and tell the two men in the family who can make decisions about what happened in the Furong Garden.

Gu Yanxi was so engrossed in the parrot that Feng Yichen gave her, she naturally didn't notice the sad face on her mother's face. After having breakfast with her mother, as soon as she returned to Furong Courtyard, Zhuang Li appeared out of nowhere.

Seeing Zhuang Li appearing in the room covered in frost, Gu Yanxi immediately asked Luo Mei to prepare hot tea. The Chinese New Year will be a month away. Although the weather will gradually get warmer, standing outside for a while is still a good idea. You will feel a biting chill.

During this period of time, Zhuang Li kept running around for her affairs, so it was naturally very hard.

Watching Zhuang Li take two sips of hot tea, Gu Yanxi found a reason to send Luo Mei away, and then asked, "How is it? Is there any movement from my second uncle?"

Zhuang Li didn't answer this question first, but put down the cup and looked at Gu Yanxi: "Girl, did the master also send someone to watch the second room?"

"My father? I haven't heard him say it." Gu Yanxi rested his chin on one hand and thought about it: "Did my father also notice something, so he sent someone to watch the second uncle? Who did he send?"

"It's Gu Rang!"

Gu Yanxi raised his eyebrows: "It could be him? Gu Rang is the most powerful confidant around my father. Usually, my father will take him by his side for everything, which shows how much he relies on him; now his father asked him to keep an eye on the second uncle. It's just that on the surface, he has relaxed his vigilance against the second room, but in fact, have he started to suspect something about the second uncle?"

As he said that, Gu Yanxi told Zhuang Li, "You must be careful, and you must not let father's people notice that we are also staring at second uncle, otherwise, with my father's intelligence, he will definitely find me out."

"Don't worry, girl, my subordinates know how to measure."

Gu Yanxi nodded, and said, "Did you notice any changes in the second room in the past few days?"

Zhuang Li replied earnestly: "Second Master has always been a flirt with teasing cats and dogs. Except for wandering around the yamen twice, the rest of the time basically hangs out with his cronies. It doesn't look unusual."

Thinking of her useless second uncle, Gu Yanxi let out a cold snort: "Grandfather is upright and has a good reputation in the court. The only person he has had a relationship with in this life is the second uncle. He is arranged to be on duty in the yamen. In order to let him improve a bit, don't just hang around eating and waiting to die all day long, but he didn't expect that in the yamen, he would regard himself as the second master of the Gu family, who came and went freely, didn't think about making progress, and didn't take his grandfather's kindness at all. Putting effort into my eyes, if the people in this yamen were not looking at the face of grandfather and father, who would tolerate him? As long as I think that such a person took over the Gu family in the end, I feel like an old man. What a big joke God made on the Gu family."

"What? The girl said, the second master will take over the Gu family?" Zhuang Li didn't expect to hear this earth-shattering sentence from the third girl, so she asked in surprise on the spot, feeling unbelievably attached.

Seeing Zhuang Li's unbelievable expression, the sarcasm on Gu Yanxi's face became more and more intense: "Yeah, not to mention you can't believe it, I can't believe it either; but Zhuang Li, do you know? My This second uncle is not as simple as it seems on the surface. His ambition is very big. What he wanted was never the status of the second master of the Gu family. What he wanted was the position of the head of the Gu family, my father. The high position you are in right now.”

"Girl, don't talk nonsense about this. If it gets out, it will cause trouble for the girl."

"Do you think I'll talk nonsense about this kind of thing? Zhuang Li, don't you understand? Why did I let you stare at Second Uncle." Speaking of this, Gu Yanxi suddenly paused, as if thinking of something, " Wait, Zhuang Li, just now you said that Second Uncle likes to hang out with a bunch of cronies in private, can you write me a list of his friends? The more detailed the better. "

Although Zhuang Li was still in the shock of what the third girl said earlier, she still stabilized her mind and agreed: "Okay, I will write a list and give it to the girl later, but girl, if you say It's true, how did the second master take over the Gu family? You know, the current head of the Gu family is the old man, even if the old man is gone, there is still the old man."

Looking at Zhuang Li's unwilling eyes, Gu Yanxi had a sad smile on his face, and then lowered his head.

In the past, she only suspected that the accident of her grandfather and parents might have something to do with her second uncle, but gradually, her suspicion became more and more deeply rooted in her heart; think about who is the biggest winner after her relatives passed away one after another?Who will get the most benefits?
In this way, it is not difficult to guess who is behind all this.

Gu Yanxi was not willing to answer Zhuang Li's question, because in this life, even if she risked her life, she would protect her relatives and never let them be harmed by traitors again.

Gu Yanxi took a deep breath and looked towards Zhuang Li, "Don't worry, I won't let the scene of making relatives and enemies happy again, Zhuang Li, what you heard from me today, I want you to be so rotten In the stomach, no one can mention it; next, you just need to do things according to my orders."

Zhuang Li was flustered at first, but after seeing the girl's calm expression, she slowly calmed down as if she had been infected.

"Don't worry, girl, my subordinates will definitely do their best."

On the side of the Gu mansion, Gu Yanxi's people and Gu Jin's people almost all kept a close eye on Gu Shen, while on the Li mansion's side, Li Rou walked back and forth in the boudoir anxiously.

Yesterday, in order to see Gu Yan face to face, she took the risk and pushed Tang Xin to the ground. She thought that the plan would go ahead as she imagined, but she didn't expect that Gu Yanxi and Lu Si would pop up one after another on the way to disrupt the situation; It wasn't what really worried her, what really worried her was Tang Xin's attitude and injury.

Although it was late when she returned home yesterday, she still sent someone to deliver the best medicine for bruises and sprains to the Tang Mansion, and she also signaled the servant who delivered the medicine to explain that she was going to visit Tang Xin today.

But she didn't expect the person sent to the Tang residence to come back and tell her that Tang Xin needed to rest and didn't plan to see any guests in the near future.

This kind of situation has never happened to Tang Xin. Although she used Tang Xin before, that silly girl always looked heartless. No matter what she did to her, she You can forget it in a blink of an eye, and as long as she is coaxing her with sweet words, she will definitely believe it.

Unexpectedly, this time, something unexpected happened.

Could it be that Gu Yanxi said something to Tang Xin that made her wary of herself?
Thinking of this possibility, Li Rou's heart was suspended high. The reason why she got close to Tang Xin all these years was because of her identity and easy-to-use personality. There are also a lot of benefits here. I originally thought that this silly girl would always be a pawn in her hands, but I didn't expect that there would be a turning point today.

Moreover, she must not be alienated from Tang Xin at this time. She clearly knows the relationship between the Tang family and the Gu family, and she still wants to use Tang Xin to get close to Gu Yanchao. If she loses Tang Xin's help at this time, she will want to get closer in the future I'm afraid that the proud son of heaven is not so convenient.

Thinking of this, Li Rou felt as if her heart had been scratched by a cat, and her whole body was in severe torment. Even Xiang Lan, a personal servant girl, came in with peeled dried fruit, but she didn't pay attention, and bumped into it head-on.

Only heard the sound of '哗啦'!The dried fruit on the plate immediately fell to the ground, Xianglan looked up at the girl with an ugly face, she was startled immediately, she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Miss, please forgive me! This servant did not mean to offend the girl. I also ask the girl to be kind."

Li Rou was already in a mess, but she didn't expect that someone would jump out to make things difficult for her. If it's not just looking for trouble for her, what is it?
Looking down at the dried fruit shards on the plain Ru skirt, her mood became even more depressed to the extreme. Hearing Xianglan's begging for mercy, she rolled her eyes and sighed: "Forgive me? In my eyes, will this girl be the kind of master who casually takes lives and treats slaves harshly?"

The voice was very soft, but hearing Xianglan's ears was as shocking as a rock; she has been serving the girl since she was a child, others may not know her temperament, but she knows it best.

When outsiders mentioned the girl in Li's house, they couldn't help but praise her for being dignified, virtuous, gentle and courteous, but only she knew best that the real girl didn't have that kind of personality; she behaved too much in front of outsiders If you have a degree, you will be harsh and savage in front of these servants.

It can be said that in the girl's heart, all she really cares about is herself and the good reputation she has earned through hard work. As for other people, she doesn't regard them as human beings at all.

So, after hearing the girl's question, she could imagine what she was going to face next; therefore, she dared not do anything except trembling with fear, and could not do anything.
