Reborn Noble Daughter and First Wife

Chapter 186 The First Meeting
The season of the year lies in spring, and the time of day lies in the morning.Although the weather in summer is hot, the morning is different.This morning, Gu Qinglian got up very early unlike usual.She opened the window, and the fresh and sweet air rushed in, which made people feel very refreshing.There are many white clouds floating in the deep blue sky.She stood in front of the window, looking at the red glow in the east, the sun rushed out of the horizon, slowly revealing half of her face.

A new day begins!

After Gu Qinglian had an early breakfast, she took Fangyan and walked towards Lihua Garden.From Begonia Court to Lihua Court, you have to pass the garden, and the distance is not too short.

The garden in the summer morning is naturally beautiful.As soon as I stepped into the garden, a burst of intoxicating fragrance of flowers drilled into my nostrils, refreshing.A slight breeze brought fresh air to the nostrils, which made people feel particularly cool.On the leaves on the roadside, the dewdrops on the grass are crystal clear, like pearls shining in the sun.The lotus in the small pond also stretched out its leaves and swayed in the breeze, which is like entering a fairyland.

It's just that Gu Qinglian at this moment has no intention of admiring the beautiful scenery in the garden, she only looks down at the road all the way, and Fangyan behind her is silently following with her head sullen, walking towards Liuxu's courtyard.

Probably because of the frail body of the original owner, Gu Qinglian felt a little strenuous just after leaving the meeting, top-heavy, and panting slightly.

Gu Qinglian's pace slowed down a bit, but she didn't intend to stop, so she persisted all the way to Lihuayuan.

It was the first time for Gu Qinglian to come to Lihua Court.The courtyard is surrounded by whitewashed walls, green willows hang around, and three rows of houses are lined up.The courtyard is full of colorful flowers, the garden is full of various colors, and the walls are also covered with roses.

At this moment, the little maid guarding the door saw them, so she came up to meet them and led them to Liu Xu's inner room.

As soon as Gu Qinglian stepped into the inner room, a faint scent of sandalwood filled her. She walked in, and a boudoir of an ancient woman came into view.On the northeast corner of the wall is a maroon-colored bookcase. Warm sunlight comes in through the vermilion carved wooden window, and sprinkles it piecemeal on a set up Guqin. The pink gauze curtain comes in from the window with the wind. Some petals brushed against the strings gently, and cigarette smoke rose from the incense burner, wrapped in gauze curtains, filling the whole boudoir.

Liu Xu is sitting on the couch and arranging her clothes, and the sun shines through the hollow carved tallow window, shining on her body.Under her body was a soft wooden bed decorated with exquisite carvings.

Seeing Gu Qinglian coming in, Liu Xu got up gently and walked towards her, bowed respectfully, "I don't know if the young mistress is here, Liu Xu is far away, please forgive me." Turning around, she said to Yingchun beside her: "For tea, make a pot of the Longjing before the rain brought by the young master yesterday." There was a hint of pride and showing off in his tone.

Yo, it's showing off as soon as it comes up!Gu Qinglian sneered in her heart, walked straight to the upper seat without showing any weakness, and sat down, as if she had reached her own place.

Liu Xu didn't expect Gu Qinglian to be so imposing today, her heart trembled, she bit her lower lip lightly, then came up to her with a smile on her face, sat down on the seat and asked, "I don't know if the young lady came here earlier, but is there something wrong? "

Gu Qinglian glanced at Liu Xu, with a smile on her face, and said in a flat tone: "It's nothing. Why, my sister doesn't welcome me to visit?" After speaking, Liu raised her eyebrows and looked deeply at Liu Xu.

Liu Xu frowned after hearing this, Gu Qinglian must have something to do when she came here for no reason.It's just that she couldn't figure it out yet.

"What did my sister say? If my sister can come, my sister is very happy in her heart. How could she not welcome her?" Facing Gu Qinglian's presence, she felt deeply unaccustomed and confused, but she couldn't express it. Now that I have come here, I have to show enthusiasm.

They were also speechless, the room was silent for a while, and the air was filled with embarrassment.It was the tea in the Spring Festival that broke the embarrassment of this moment.

"Young lady, this is the Dragon Well that is the new tribute this year. A few days ago, the emperor gave it to the young master, and yesterday he brought some to the concubines. Please try it!" Liu Xu picked up the tea bowl, holding the bowl lid in one hand as if He flicked the tea leaves on the tea water in a showy manner.

The smug look on her face was unmistakable.

Gu Qinglian didn't drink the tea as she wished, but got up and looked around in her room, looking around.

Seeing that Gu Qinglian didn't drink tea, Liu Xu thought she was jealous of being favored by Shen Congjia, and secretly felt complacent.Seeing that Gu Qinglian got up, she seemed to be interested in her own house, and she felt a lot of suspicion in her heart. She didn't know what she was going to do here this time?
Gu Qinglian came to her dressing mirror, fiddling with the jewelry box on the dressing table with one hand, but her face was not revealed, her voice was still soft and gentle: "The jadeite bracelet that my mother gave to my sister before, why didn't I see my sister wearing it?" Have you passed?" Turning her head to look at Liu Xu, she added: "That pair of jade bracelets are really pretty, and they must look great on my sister's white and smooth wrists."

Seeing Gu Qinglian asking about the jade bracelet for no reason, Liu Xu's heart sank. Could it be that she had sensed something, a flash of panic flashed in her eyes, she quickly got up and came to the dressing table.

She observed Gu Qinglian intentionally or unintentionally, but she saw that her expression was calm, her eyes were as clear as water, and her expression was casual.It seems that the question just now was just a casual question.Looking at her expression, there is no clue at all.

At this moment, Liu Xu feels that Gu Qinglian must have a purpose here.I couldn't help being cautious in my heart, and replied cautiously: "The jadeite bracelet has been put in the storeroom. If my sister wants to see it, I will wait for my sister to get it." After saying that, he turned around and was about to go to the storeroom to get it.

Gu Qinglian looked at her serious look, and sighed inwardly, her acting skills are really amazing!
Little hoof, it's quite capable of pretending!But Miss Ben didn't come to see you acting today!
Gu Qinglian didn't come here today to ask about the bracelet.Since Liu Xu can say that, maybe he can conjure another pair again, so she gently stopped her and said, "No need, I'm just asking casually."

Gu Qinglian's understatement hit Liu Xu's heart hard, making her have no choice but to suspect Gu Qinglian's intentions.It was she who mentioned it just now, but now she doesn't read it. Could it be that she really asked it casually?

Liu Xu frowned and turned to look at Gu Qinglian with a look of disbelief.She still insisted on her own ideas, Gu Qinglian's purpose here is not simple!
It really did not meet her expectations.

Gu Qinglian sat back again, took a sip of tea, and finally revealed the purpose of coming here.

She said calmly, "A few days ago, my sister told me something. She said that a servant girl next to my aunt Gu Guifei was bribed by Concubine Li. She used the information she provided several times. Framed Concubine Gu, but nothing happened. Afterwards, Concubine Gu found out about the betrayal of the little maid, so she brought her to Concubine Li's bedroom, confronted her face to face, and even beat her to death in person, which was a lesson for Concubine Li." Her The tone was extremely flat.

As soon as the words came out, Liu Xufangyan looked at each other in astonishment, both of them were surprised.

In just a few words, Liu Xu was stunned.Only now did she clearly understand Gu Qinglian's real intention here.To tell her that she has spotted the eyeliner she wears around her.

Her words pierced into Fangyan's heart like a knife, and each stab made Fangyan's whole body stiff as if petrified, and bead-sized beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

Gu Qinglian ignored the two, whether it was surprise or fear, it was what she wanted and what she wanted to see.

She sneered in her heart, and continued: "I was surprised when I heard it, but I also regretted it. It's good to use other people's money to eliminate disasters for others, but if you don't tell others about it secretly, you will lose your own life. It's really not worth it. Sister, don’t you think so?”

Gu Qinglian's words hit Liu Xu's heart heavily, and her head shook. Now she completely felt that Gu Qinglian was not as simple and easy to deal with as she appeared on the surface.Her private contact with Fangyan is very rare. How did Gu Qinglian find out that Fangyan was a traitor? Even if Fangyan was discovered by her carelessly, how did she know that she planted eyeliner by her side? Woolen cloth?

All this happened so suddenly, Liu Xu felt that her brain was not enough at the moment.After hearing what she said later, she turned around and thought, maybe she was trying to trick her.

She looked up at Gu Qinglian in amazement, tried her best to conceal the panic in her heart, lowered her head with flickering eyes, took a sip of tea, nodded calmly pretending to agree with Gu Qinglian's statement.

A deep coldness flashed in Gu Qinglian's eyes, and she returned to her original intention when she spoke: "I should fight for my favor based on my own ability, and using these methods of rottenness will only harm others and myself in the end!"

Liu Xu trembled in the cold, this was not a naked warning, she bit her pink and tender lips hard, lowered her head and said nothing.

Gu Qinglian smiled sweetly, but didn't continue talking about it. She picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, saying: "It really is good tea!"

She put down the tea bowl, and said to the panicked Liu Xu: "I don't realize I've been bothering my sister for a long time, so I'll go back first, sister, please rest!"

Liu Xu also regained her composure, and immediately ordered Yingchun Haosheng to send Gu Qinglian out.Seeing Gu Qinglian's back in the distance, she slumped down on the chair.

Gu Qinglian's warning had an immediate effect!
