After this, Guzhu gradually became a lovesick man in the eyes of other women.

He worked hard but couldn't catch her.

"Lin Qianqian really thinks she is a nobody. It's her blessing that the master likes her, but she doesn't even give the master the slightest bit of face!"

The madam grabbed a handful of melon seeds and cracked the shells on the ground while talking to someone.

Hongmei, who was standing by, said sarcastically, "Yes, she is arrogant and proud. Or does she look down on our master? I think she wants to be the emperor's concubine. Do you think she is worthy?"

Lin Qianqian passed by the corridor with a crunching sound on the snow. She walked straight over and said to the two procuresses, "I don't think of myself as a piece of onion. I think of myself as a human being."

"If I don't like him, I don't like him. No matter how good he is in your eyes, I'm just not interested in him and don't want to associate with him. Stop praising him as a romantic. If he is a romantic, why doesn't he accompany a different girl every night? And why does he leave Hua Yingyue aside?"

The madam immediately pointed at Lin Qianqian's nose and yelled, "We are talking about you, why are you talking about Hua Yingyue?"

"Is the master still not good to you? He almost took out his heart to show you. For a man, finding a woman is as easy as eating and drinking. If you don't sleep with him, don't you want him to find someone else? Who the hell are you!"

"I advise you to quit while you're ahead. Don't keep him hanging. If he falls in love with another girl, where will you go to cry?"

Lin Qianqian sneered, "I wish so."

"Just keep crying and complaining for your master. He is such a good dog."

Hongmei showed a grim smile on her face, "Why are you so arrogant? After being pursued by the master for a few days, your tail is almost up to the sky! If the master didn't like you, we wouldn't be so polite to you, and we would have torn you to pieces long ago!"

Lin Qianqian calmly retorted, "If you can't stand it, go comfort your master yourself. Why are you being unfair to me?"

"Oh, I get it. He doesn't like you," Lin Qianqian deliberately smiled sarcastically. "You're so angry because you've been pursuing her so hard, but no one cares about you!"

Without waiting for her to answer, Lin Qianqian said, "I have nothing more to say to you. I'm leaving now."

She really didn't want to waste her time on ineffective communication with these people.

"Stand still!" Hongmei became angry and embarrassed.

She walked quickly to Lin Qianqian, pointed at her face and said, "The master pursued you madly, but you ignored him. Instead, you were talking and laughing with that poor teacher. It's really incomprehensible. Could it be that..."

A hint of understanding flashed across Hongmei's face, and a malicious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Oh, I see. No wonder she ignored the master."

She pulled the madam over and whispered something into her ear, and the two of them immediately burst into laughter.

Lin Qianqian's eyes suddenly became sharp.

She stood in the snow like a statue, motionless.

Without having to listen clearly, she could roughly guess what they were saying.

The madam pointed at Lin Qianqian and laughed until she almost couldn't breathe. "So that's how it is. I was wondering, that poor teacher's crotch is indeed bigger than other men's. Most men can't satisfy her."

"Who in Zuihuayin is willing to do business with him? He is so poor and stingy. But she is the only one who is willing to pay for him. I don't know how many times the two of them have been together secretly. I'm afraid they don't have enough money to buy a roof over their heads, so they often have sex in the wild."

Hongmei looked at Lin Qianqian and said, "You are such a slut. You don't even want the person chasing you, but you rush over to give yourself to her! You are such a slut!"

"Pa——" A slap landed on Hongmei's right cheek, leaving a naked five-finger mark. "You can say I am allowed to do that, but you are not allowed to insult my friends!"

Hongmei covered her face and screamed, "You hit me!"

As she spoke, she rushed over and reached out to grab Lin Qianqian, wanting to tear her hair. Just as she rushed over, she was pulled away by Gu Zhu who appeared out of nowhere.

As soon as she saw Guzhu, Hongmei immediately became timid and quickly retreated to the side with her head down, like a quail.

Gu Zhu reached out and pulled Lin Qianqian behind him, gave her a soothing look, and said to Hongmei, "Don't make up rumors about Miss Lin. She and Mr. Chen are innocent. I know this best."

"If you keep talking nonsense, watch your tongue."

After receiving the warning, Hongmei was so scared that she quickly reached out to cover her mouth. She kept saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Miss Lin, I won't dare to do it again."

"Please be magnanimous and let me go."

The news spread quickly, and the girls liked him even more when they talked about Gu Zhu. They talked about how he protected Lin Qianqian and told her not to be bullied. Some girls even became his loyal fans.

However, someone somehow spread the dirty rumor about Lin Qianqian.

Some people said that they saw her kneeling on the ground giving Chen Jingzhou a blowjob, and her hungry look was as if she had not had sex with a man in several lifetimes. The description was so vivid that it seemed as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

The words used are vulgar and explicit.

He also said that the two of them were in a literacy class, and they did it quietly after everyone left. He described several postures clearly.

Lin Qianqian really couldn't stand it anymore.

She came to Gu Zhu and said, "Please find out the person who spread the rumors. I have never had a good reputation, and I don't need one. But I don't want my friend to be slandered."

She knew very well what kind of person Chen Jingzhou was.

He is a true gentleman.

He was very calm and rational, with only two things in his mind: obtaining a good academic record and being filial to his mother.

Gu Zhu stretched out his hand and scratched his ear, then said to Lin Qianqian, "I will naturally take your matter to heart. Don't worry, I will definitely find that person as soon as possible."

"But I have an unwelcome request. In two days, I would like to invite you to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to make tea and roast venison. I wonder if you can give me a favor?"

Lin Qianqian's eyelids drooped, she looked at the ground and asked, "What if I don't agree? Are you willing to quell the rumors?"

"How could that be?" Gu Zhu smiled, "I won't let you be troubled by this matter."

The rumors were indeed put to rest.

The girls praised Gu Zhu highly, calling him the only good man in the world. They all expressed their envy for Lin Qianqian, and more and more people urged her to accept him.

"How can you and Master Guzhu not be together? He is so kind to you, why don't you accept him?"

"A man like this can only be conquered by a beauty like you. He loves you wholeheartedly and only has you in his heart. A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Qingyin and Ye Furong, who were beside Lin Qianqian, also spoke highly of Guzhu.

Almost everyone said that she was ungrateful and selfish, saying how good he was to her and how much he had given her, but she refused to give back even a penny.

People said she was stupid and foolish, and that she didn't know how to seize the opportunity to climb up the social ladder, and instead chose to be a lowly woman in a brothel.

Gu Zhu, who had established himself as a modest gentleman and polite at the beginning, gradually became aggressive towards Lin Qianqian, pulling her hand and touching her face in public. The girls in the courtyard saw it as a boy chasing a girl, and they were envious and jealous. Some of them were dissatisfied with her avoidance.

That day, Lin Qianqian was walking in the yard when she was suddenly hugged from behind by Gu Zhu. He kissed her on the face, catching her off guard.

When she realized what was happening, she quickly broke free and distanced herself from him. He laughed, then picked her up and walked into the house. She struggled and screamed along the way, and the three or four women who passed by all stood there and looked at her with envy.

"I was just joking with you, look how scared you are." After walking into the house, Gu Zhu put Lin Qianqian down.

"Why are you so timid?" He smiled and stretched out a finger, gently rubbing Lin Qianqian's cheek, "I'm not a monster. I'm not so anxious to eat you."

She reached out and touched her pounding heart, "You know what you're thinking."

She said angrily, "Please respect me."

"Look at you, you're sweating," Gu Zhu looked at Lin Qianqian's forehead for a moment, reached out and picked up his sleeve to wipe the sweat off her face. Lin Qianqian turned her head away.

Gu Zhu called Qingyin to wipe her sweat, and he went to bring a cup of tea to Lin Qianqian, but Lin Qianqian did not drink it.

Gu Zhu left, and Lin Qianqian asked Qingyin: "I called your name just now, why didn't you answer me? Didn't you hear it or see it?"

"I heard it and saw it," Qingyin said with a simple look, "but that was you and the young master playing around, young lady."

She smiled and said, "Everyone envied him for flirting with you, and everyone supported you being with him. They liked to see you and him being close, and they all thought you and him had a good relationship, which was why you were like this."
