Gu Zhiyin heard the cousin's aunt praising Shen Wanqing in the yard.

Well-educated, polite and elegant?

She lowered her eyes slightly to hide the hint of sarcasm in them. These were just Shen Wanqing's illusions. She pretended to be well-behaved and sensible on the surface, but was actually a despicable, selfish villain behind the scenes. In her previous life, she had been with her for a long time before she discovered Shen Wanqing's true character.

But for Shen Linzhou, she has always been tolerant of the Shen family, thinking only of harmony at home so that he would have no worries.

It turns out that he doesn't deserve it!

"The eldest lady is back." A maid announced at the door.

Everyone in the room looked towards the door at once, and many relatives looked eagerly expectant.

Gu Jinse certainly married well, but when it comes to nobility, it still has to be Gu Zhiyin.

"The princess is back. Why are you standing outside the door? Come in quickly."

"I haven't seen you for a long time. The princess looks even more radiant than ever before."

Gu Zhiyin walked into the room with a faint smile and bowed to Jiang who was sitting in the main seat:

"My daughter greets my mother. I wish you to be as luxuriant as pine and cypress, and may you be blessed with everything." Gu Zhiyin said as she waved to Mother Hu behind her. Mother Hu, with a smile on her face, held a brocade box in her hands and handed it to Jiang.

The brocade box was extremely gorgeous, made of the finest pear wood, and carved with intricate and exquisite patterns. Just by looking at it, one could tell that the things inside were of great value.

Jiang happily pulled the man up: "Okay, okay, get up quickly."

Gu Zhiyin no longer had any feelings for Jiang, but Jiang still occupied the status of her mother, so she still had to do her best on the surface, otherwise people would only call her unfilial.

Countless pairs of eyes looked at the brocade box curiously, and someone asked Jiang to open it and see what was inside.

Jiang glanced at the envious eyes of the crowd and felt extremely honored. Since they wanted to see it, she would satisfy them.

Inside the brocade box is a complete set of ruby ​​headpieces. The crystal clear gems emit sparkling light in the sun, which is amazing.

"It's so beautiful."

"It's true that she's different now that she's become the princess of a county. She's so generous."

"Mrs. Gu is truly blessed."

"..."

Under the envious and amazed admiration of everyone, Gu Jinse's face suddenly became long.

Gu Zhiyin must have deliberately made her look bad.

She gave her mother such a good gift, which completely surpassed her own and made her very angry.

And these people, saying that Gu Zhiyin is generous, are they implying that her own daughter is stingy?

"Sister is really filial, but why didn't I see my brother-in-law come back with me?" Gu Jinse's sarcastic voice suddenly sounded.

The implication is that Fu Yunjing is unfilial to Jiang, so he didn't even attend Jiang's birthday party.

Everyone looked at each other with a somewhat subtle expression.

Jiang's face froze for a moment. Even though she felt that her daughter shouldn't spoil the fun at this time, she couldn't help but look at Gu Zhiyin.

As the son-in-law of the Gu family, even if Fu Yunjing is a prince, he should come to celebrate her birthday. It is really rude.

"The prince is busy and can't spare time. Let me tell my mother. Please forgive me." Gu Zhiyin glared at Gu Jinse and said to Jiang respectfully.

As early as when she came back alone, she knew that Gu Jinse would not miss the opportunity to mock her.

"Everyone in the capital knows Prince Ming. What is he busy about?" Gu Jinse said with disdain. She didn't dare to say directly that Prince Ming was a playboy and a waste. After all, his identity was there.

But even so, everyone could understand what Gu Jinse meant.

Yes, he is a well-known playboy, busy with eating, drinking and having fun, and he doesn't pay any attention to his mother-in-law Jiang at all.

Gu Zhiyin frowned slightly and was about to speak when she suddenly heard a clear and pleasant male voice outside: "Miss Gu, do you look down on this prince?"

His voice was extremely cold, like a thousand-year-old ice.

Gu Jinse's originally sneering expression instantly froze and she turned her head stiffly.

I saw a tall and handsome man striding towards the door, with white jade hair, stunning appearance and noble demeanor.

Fu Yunjing must be her nemesis. He looked down on her in her previous life. Every time she thought she could use this to mock Gu Zhiyin in this life, he would suddenly appear, as if he was deliberately taking the opportunity to slap her in the face.

Gu Jinse was so angry that her eyes and mouth were crooked. She couldn't understand why Fu Yunjing would accompany Gu Zhiyin to Gu's house again and again to make her save face.

Obviously, Gu Zhiyin should be despised and trampled upon by Fu Yunjing just like herself in her previous life.

"I am late, I hope you can forgive me, mother-in-law. This is my gift, please accept it."

Fu Yunjing said this as he handed over the brocade box.

Jiang was stunned for a moment and then smiled and said, "It's good that people are here."

Gu Zhiyin was also confused. She had not actually mentioned Jiang's birthday to Fu Yunjing. After all, it was not a big event like returning to her parents' home, and she did not want to make things too difficult for Fu Yunjing.

"How did you come?"

Fu Yunjing smiled at her, leaned over and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I can't let you come back alone and be talked about by others."

As he said this, he glanced at Gu Jinse meaningfully.

Although Gu Jinse couldn't hear what the two were saying, the look Fu Yunjing gave her was full of contempt and disdain, which made her feel so angry that she almost couldn't maintain her gentle image.

Gu Zhiyin glanced at Fu Yunjing silently, her heart trembling slightly, her expression complicated.

"Thank you." She lowered her eyes and said thank you softly.

"Brother, is that Prince Ming?" Shen Wanqing was stunned by the moment Fu Yunjing appeared. In her mind, she felt as if a burst of brilliant fireworks exploded with a "bang", and she lost her mind in an instant.

With the family background of the Shen family, she could not come into contact with anyone from the Pingyang Palace, so when people talked about how Prince Ming was a playboy and uneducated, she sneered. So even if someone said that he was handsome, Shen Wanqing didn't take it seriously.

But when I saw him in person today, I realized that there is such a handsome man in the world.

Her elder brother was already handsome, but standing next to Prince Ming, he looked as if he was covered with a layer of dust, dull and lifeless.

If Shen Linzhou knew what his sister was thinking at the moment, he would definitely slap her so hard that she wouldn't be able to come down even if they were tucked against the wall.

The kind of person who forgets his brother for the sake of beauty.

"Put away your expression and don't forget who you really should take down." Shen Linzhou secretly glared at Shen Wanqing who had been infatuated with him, and warned in a low voice: "No matter how good-looking Prince Ming is, he is useless."

Shen Wanqing curled her lips, with a hint of unwillingness in her eyes, but she finally restrained herself a little.

But she still glanced at Fu Yunjing from time to time.

Pity.

If Prince Ming's reputation wasn't so bad, she would be honorable even if she was a concubine. What's more, the prince was so charming.
