The cannon fodder female supporting role wants to run away, and the madly criticizing prince is red-

In this room, one is Yu's biological son Gu Huai, whom she is reluctant to beat, and the other is her favorite daughter-in-law Cheng Jiayao, whom she is reluctant to scold.

And she was just a concubine.

So, she naturally became the punching bag.

Therefore, the cannon fodder female supporting role Lin Qianqian fell into a big pit from the very beginning.

However, Lin Qianqian is not so pessimistic now.

Above the concubine is the wife.

Above the wife, there are the mother-in-law and the husband.

Above the mother-in-law and husband is the father-in-law.

Since Yu disliked her so much, she would definitely complain about her to the Marquis every day. But now the Marquis did not punish her, nor did he call her over to scold her.

This shows that the Marquis neither likes her nor hates her.

This situation is favorable.

Apparently, he was a neutral party. As long as she didn't do anything out of line, the highest authority in the mansion would not punish her.

Lin Qianqian walked to Yu's side, lowered her head to observe the injury on her knee, and suddenly sighed, "Alas, it is so sad for women living in this era."

"You are a tragedy, I am a tragedy, we are all a tragedy."

Everyone lives a very depressing life.

Gu Huai was suppressed by his parents and filial piety.

Women are bound and oppressed by the three obediences and four virtues. I'm afraid everyone feels very aggrieved.

Coming from the modern era, she was able to look at the situation from a perspective beyond history, but it could only give her a temporary reprieve.

"What did you say? Tragedy? What does tragedy mean?"

Yu was annoyed. She said irritably, "You always say things that are incomprehensible or crazy and outrageous."

Lin Qianqian turned around, picked up a teacup, and said, "A cup is a word that means a cup. A cup is a word that means tragedy, sadness, and drama. It means that people are just like this cup. If you don't hold it carefully in your hands, it will break into pieces with a "bang" as soon as it falls to the ground, and you can never put it together again."

Yu snorted, "It's just a cup, but you insist on calling it a tragedy."

Gu Huai patiently explained to her, "Mother, Qianqian used a cup to metaphorically represent life. This metaphor is quite interesting. Most people like to use metaphors like falling flowers, flowing water, and the moon, but she used a cup. Don't you think it's very interesting?"

Cheng Jiayao listened and watched silently.

Gu Huai's protection and favoritism towards Lin Qianqian made her feel that Lin Qianqian was really an eyesore.

Is this really true love?

Whatever she said, he supported her.

Yu thought that Lin Qianqian, who seduced her son, was fine, but she was punished, and she felt more unbalanced.

"That's because she's uneducated. Only educated people would use flowers and leaves to describe themselves, but she can only use this thing to describe herself! How can it be worthy of praise?"

Lin Qianqian said, "I also feel that I am not well educated. The wife of the Crown Prince is from a noble family and is well-read, but I only read some idle books to relieve boredom."

Yu wanted to see Lin Qianqian crying because of these words, but she didn't expect her to admit it so openly.

Seeing her acting like she doesn't care about anything, it makes me seem sarcastic and mean.

……

Several days passed.

That day, Gu Huai bought a reddish-brown Arabian horse from outside and wanted to teach Lin Qianqian how to ride a horse.

He brought her to an open pasture in the backyard of the marquis's mansion, which was half the size of a hill and had special stable servants to take care of it.

"Qianqian, when you ride on it, keep your back straight. This way you won't fall off easily. If your back isn't straight, you'll toss and turn and fall off easily."

Gu Huai let Lin Qianqian support herself with her arms and climb onto the horse.

He held the horse's reins and let her walk around the yard twice to get used to the horse's back. As they walked, he explained to her the key points of riding a horse.

"Oh, I understand. It's the core that needs to be strengthened."

"Core, what is the core?" Gu Huai heard the unfamiliar word again and was very curious.

Lin Qianqian pointed to the area around her belly button and said, "The key is that the abdomen must be stable."

"Yes, this is it."

Gu Zhao is one of the precocious children in the clan.

His father died when he was eight, and his mother raised him alone. This year, when he was 16, his family suddenly said that someone from the Marquis' Mansion had come and wanted to adopt him and take him to the Marquis' Mansion to live a good life.

After his father died, his mother helped others raise horses and do some rough work. He followed her since he was a child, following her to carry hay, chop it with a guillotine, pour it into the trough, and watch the horses chewing their cheeks to eat.

He knows best what kind of fodder each horse likes.

When he arrived at the Marquis's Mansion, he learned that the mansion also raised horses, so he came to take a look, and was delighted to see the majestic and beautiful Arabian horses.

After school, Gu Zhaotian would go to the stable and stay with the horse. Only today did he find out that the horse was actually given to a concubine.

Gu Zhao held a dark brown horse brush and carefully cleaned the soft hair of the white horse, gently sweeping off the dirt and weeds on its body.

He turned his head and saw Gu Huai leading a horse for a woman in blue in the distance, chatting and laughing with her. The woman was very beautiful.

I guess it must be his favorite concubine.

When Gu Zhao saw Gu Huai for the first time, he saw that he was the only young man in the mansion, dressed in precious jade, well-spoken, and had a noble and spoiled air. He knew that this was the Prince Gu.

He had been in the marquis's mansion for seven days and was arranged to live with the servants.

Every day, the Marquis would come to ask him about his homework.

Only when he arrived at the Marquis's Mansion did he realize that horses needed three kinds of combs to keep them beautiful.

Unlike the family he served before, who only had an old and broken comb.

The back of the horse should be brushed with a horse brush or horse comb. This tool is usually made of bristles, silk thread, cotton strips and other materials, and is used to comb the horse's hair and help keep the horse neat and tidy.

The mane should be combed with a horse mane comb. The horse mane comb is a long-handled iron comb that is durable and has narrow teeth for easy combing. It is mainly used to comb the horse's mane.

The horsetail comb is a short-handled double-ring iron comb, which is durable and has a large gap between the teeth, making it convenient for combing more tail hair to prevent the tail hair from getting stuck in the teeth.

No wonder the horses in the marquis's mansion are all handsome and strong.

"There is a gadfly on this horse."

"Oh my god! It's so big, lying on the horse and sucking blood."

Lin Qianqian got off the horse and took a rest, looking around the horse.

Look at its hair, the huge black eyes of the horse, touch its head, touch the horse's butt.

Suddenly, I found a black, egg-shaped insect lying in the lush horsehair, its body bulging with food and drink, obviously it was full.

Isn't that the thing that sucks blood from cows?

It also happens in horses.

"Where?"

Gu Huai came over and asked.

Lin Qianqian pointed and said, "Here, see it? Such a big and disgusting bug." She bent down, picked up a twig from the ground, and used it to pull the bug out.

"Where?" Gu Huai asked again. He didn't see it.

"Wait, I'll get it off for you." Lin Qianqian said, "This is a blood-sucking insect, just like a mosquito. Mosquitoes crawl on people and suck their blood, but this one sucks the blood of livestock."

When Gu Huai saw Lin Qianqian using a branch to pull out a fat, round insect, he screamed and ran three meters away.

"How scary!"

"Oh my god, how can there be such disgusting bugs!"

Gu Huai patted his chest, feeling uneasy. He slowly came over, stretched out a hand to pull Lin Qianqian's arm, and said with disgust, "Don't do it, be careful that it will fly onto you."

"It's disgusting."

Lin Qianqian turned her head and said, "It doesn't have wings, it can't fly."

"It's a bug that specifically lies on horses and sucks blood."

As she spoke, she stepped on the bug on the ground and crushed it. "Look at you, you're so scared. I'll kill it for you. Don't be afraid anymore!"

"You can't keep these shoes!"

Gu Huai pointed at Lin Qianqian's shoes and shouted.

"Your shoes are dirty! What I've been afraid of the most since I was a child is bugs. The bottom of your shoes is dirty!"

"I'll have someone embroider a new pair of shoes for you tomorrow."

Lin Qianqian stepped on a piece of lush green Zoysia grass and rubbed it hard: "It's just that the sole of my shoe is dirty, just rub it clean."

"How could there be such disgusting bugs? It must be that the servants didn't clean them thoroughly in advance." Gu Huai thought of the bugs just now and felt physiologically disgusted.

He turned around and looked around. He saw a tall, thin ginger figure in the stable, bending over to wash the belly of a horse. He called out to him, "The servant standing there washing, come over here."

Gu Zhao took the horse brush, walked to Gu Huai, lowered his gloomy eyes, and said, "Meet the prince."

"How did you clean the horse? There was such a big bug."

"It made Qianqian's shoes dirty."

When Lin Qianqian heard Gu Huai's words, she quickly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Sir, it's just a pair of shoes. Don't blame a servant for such a small matter."

Gu Huai, "I wanted you to learn horse riding happily today, but after this incident, I'm afraid you won't be in the mood to learn horse riding anymore."

"Isn't this the servant's fault? He is responsible for taking care of the horses here, so he should clean the horses. How could there be bugs on the horse I bought for you?"

Gu Zhao raised his head, his voice hoarse from his voice change period intermittently speaking, "Sir, this... this stable is under the charge of Old Zhao, I am just, just helping out..."

"Look at him, he's shirking responsibility!" Gu Huai pointed at him and said angrily, "What I hate most is servants shirking responsibility. If you honestly admit your mistakes, I won't punish you. If you shirk responsibility, I will punish you."

Gu Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

Lowered his head.

He clenched his fists at his waist.

Lin Qianqian said, "It's inevitable that there will be bugs."

"The bugs on horses are like lice on humans, they can't be cleaned out. And humans also have parasites called mites. Acne on the face is caused by these bugs."

"If I were to get mad at a little bug like this, I'd probably get so mad at it that I'd die, and there's nothing I can do about it. Why bother getting mad at myself? Just pretend you don't know."

"Are there really mites on humans?" Gu Huai asked half-doubtfully, with a complicated expression.

"Yeah." Lin Qianqian nodded.

"Why do people feel itchy? They need to scratch because there are these tiny bugs that are invisible to the naked eye. Even Your Majesty, as long as you are a human, you will have them on your body."

"But, but, this kind of bug is too disgusting... In short, he didn't clean the horse carefully! I ordered people to clean it thoroughly, but he actually fooled his master like this!"

Gu Huai said as he lowered his body, squatted in front of her, lifted up Lin Qianqian's right foot, took off her embroidered shoes, and threw them onto the grass three meters away, "Don't wear these shoes!"

"threw!"

"Hey, why are you throwing away such a good pair of shoes?" Lin Qianqian's eyes widened with anger.

She stood on one foot and hopped a few times, trying to find her shoes, but Gu Huai grabbed her hand and held her up as she was about to fall, "Don't go! You've already thrown them away, why are you looking for them again?"

Gu Huai frowned and said seriously, "The sole of the shoe is stained with the blood of the bug. Such a fat, ugly and disgusting bug, I feel sick just thinking about it. When I see this shoe, it is hard for me not to think of this disgusting bug."

"Then do you want me to go back wearing only one shoe?" Lin Qianqian looked at her shoes in the distance.

"You don't want that shoe anymore! I carried you back, and when I saw this pair of shoes, I remembered the bug. You could have chased it away, but you stepped on it to death."

Lin Qianqian rolled her eyes at him and said, "Are you blaming me?"

"I do not blame you."

"It's just the bugs. How could there be bugs on the horse out of nowhere?"

Gu Huai turned around and yelled at Gu Zhao: "You didn't clean the horse properly! You are responsible for taking care of horses, but you can't even do such a small thing! Kneel down!"

Gu Zhao raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Huai.

Gu Huai became even angrier, "I told you to kneel down, didn't you hear me? Am I the master, or are you the master? How dare you ignore my words!"

Gu Zhao hesitated for a while, then slowly knelt down.

His back was straight.

"Fight it yourself, don't force me to do it!"

Gu Zhao looked down at his palms, slowly raised his right hand, and slapped his face.

Suddenly, he was pulled by a pair of soft arms, and a burst of fragrance came over him, but in just a moment, it left him.

Lin Qianqian came over and said to Gu Huai, "What are you fighting for?"

"Why do you have to punish me for no reason?"

"My Lord, we are probably not clean right now. There are bound to be dust and bugs outside. Why don't we go back and wash first?"

When Gu Huai heard this, he felt like ants were crawling on his body and he couldn't bear it for a moment.

He grabbed her hand anxiously, "Qianqian, let's go back and wash ourselves!"

"Leave now!"

"it is good."

Gu Zhao saw Gu Huai squat down and let Lin Qianqian climb on his back, and he carried her away.

Only one horse was left, eating grass with its head down.

Gu Zhao waded through the dense grass and saw a pink embroidered shoe lying in the green grass. He picked it up and looked at the sole.

There was a pool of red blood, covered by green grass juice.

Such beautiful women's shoes, how could they be thrown away just because of such a small thing?

Gu Zhao bent down, found the other shoe, held them together in his arms, and reached out to touch the shoe surface carefully.

The fabric was so soft and delicate, and the embroidered butterflies and peonies were exquisite and beautiful. However, his mother left him without ever wearing a pair of such shoes.

The Marquis took pity on him and brought him to his mansion early.

If his mother had worn a pair of shoes like this, her life would not have been in vain.
