The lady of Chongxi has supernatural powers and is favored by the powerful official

Gu Ruolan was in a trance again.

No one in the room noticed Gu Ruolan's trance, as they were all attracted by her alluring smile.

Qingqiu helped Aunt Shu to sit behind Nangong Yu and the others and found a chair for her to sit on.

But Shu didn't dare to sit down. Knowing that the old marquis's wife was here was enough to make her afraid to sit down.

Shu Yuhe has a soft personality and a strong slave mentality. To her, everyone in this room is a master.

How could she dare to sit down when all the masters of the Marquis' Mansion were present?

With Qingqiu's support, she walked to the side tremblingly, not daring to sit down.

The marquis's wife winked at her, indicating that she should stand next to her.

As a concubine, you should stand behind your mistress and serve her.

But Shu Yuhe couldn't see it, so even when the Marquis's eyes were bulging with anger, she still didn't react.

Seeing Shu Yuhe reaching out her hand to grope, Madam Hou finally realized that she couldn't see.

He coughed intentionally.

Shu was frightened.

Gu Ruoxi hurriedly supported her and forced her to sit on a chair next to her.

The Shu family only dared to leave half of their butt behind.

Madam Hou, Xiao Huang, looked at Shu with eyes as if filled with poison.

The old marquis's wife also glanced over gloomily and said slowly:

"That's unruly! The Marquis's wife didn't sit down, but you, a concubine, took a seat."

Gu Ruoxi said strangely:

"Who can the Marquis blame if she doesn't sit down? It's because her children are unfilial and don't even find a seat for her. Is this something that is honorable to talk about?"

Master Gu who was swept by the stick, Gu Ruolan:...You are the only filial one!

Seeing that her children were all accused by Gu Ruoxi, Madam Hou, who had been suppressing her anger for a long time, finally exploded:

"Second girl, you are too presumptuous! The Marquis' Mansion has raised you for more than ten years, and you don't know the rules at all. There are elders and distinguished guests here. Don't think that you can rely on the support of Prince Nangong. You have to know that the Nangong family also abides by the rules."

Tsk tsk, are you using the rules to pressure others again?

Since I came here through time, what I heard the most were rules and the differences between legitimate and illegitimate children.

When Shu heard that she was blaming Gu Ruoxi, her knees went weak and she slid off the chair and was about to kneel down.

Gu Ruoxi directly lifted her mother up and pressed her to sit on the chair, then turned around and angrily retorted:

"Rules? Aren't you my stepmother? If I don't have rules, isn't it because you didn't teach me well? You make it sound like your mansion knows a lot about rules. Come on, let's talk about the past ten years. Let these two distinguished guests listen to what you said."

"First of all, you said that your mansion has supported me for more than ten years. Madam, aren't you in charge of the household finances? Check your account and see if you have paid me and my mother a single copper coin in monthly wages in the past ten years?"

"I won't tell you that there is no monthly salary. Can you check your kitchen account book to see if there is any share for me and my mother?"

"Lord Gu, you can also check if my name is on your family tree?"

"So, how can you say you have raised me for more than ten years? Don't you know how my mother's eyes became like this? She embroidered handkerchiefs with needle and thread, and sold the money to buy food for me."

"My mother has been raising me for the past ten years. Who are you?"

Then he turned around and said to Prince Nangong:

"Now you know why I have no rules, right? I was indeed born by a mother, but not taught by a father. I don't understand rules, but I will never let others hurt me and my mother."

"On our wedding night, you saw that I couldn't even take off my formal dress, right? That's because I've never worn fine clothes before. The clothes I wear in this mansion are the clothes my mother wore when she was a maid, which she altered for me to wear."

"The money my mother earned from embroidery was only enough to buy some brown rice and firewood. Do you believe that I never wore new clothes until I was sixteen? Later, I grew taller than my mother, and when I wore pants, a long part of my calf would be exposed."

As she spoke, Gu Ruoxi also gestured.

"It's okay in the summer, but it's cold in the winter. And we only have a few pairs of trousers to wear. It's too cold in the winter. When my mother wants to get up to embroider, I just stay in the quilt because I have nothing to wear. Madam, you said that I was raised by your mansion, but where did you go at that time?"

"Despite this, my mother still treats me as well as she can. Look, I am thin, but I am still tall."

When he said this, he glanced at Gu Ruolan intentionally or unintentionally.

If there is any shortcoming of Gu Ruolan, it is that she is not tall and has a petite and exquisite figure.

"So, Madam Hou, how can you say that I am unruly and uneducated?"

Every word Gu Ruoxi said shocked everyone present.

So, how did the mother and daughter spend the past ten years in this marquis' mansion?

If you have no clothes to wear, you have no choice but to stay in bed in winter?

It’s been more than ten years and there’s no name on the family tree?

It’s been more than ten years and there is no monthly allowance in the account book?

Gu Ruoxi was talking, Nangong Yu was listening, not just listening, his eyes were always watching every expression of Gu Ruoxi. His brows were getting darker and darker, is this how Ningyuan Marquis Mansion treats Ruoxi?

However, he was also shocked by Ruoxi's performance.

This girl is pretty good.

There is great progress every day.

The first day I met her, I could tell in many ways that she knew nothing.

The next day she began to accept it and live her life seriously. She even heard her ask Qingqiu and Ruyue some questions in private.

These were obviously common sense things, but she didn't understand them and even asked.

Today, she can actually speak eloquently.

I feel like she's much smarter than that. She's improving so fast.

But, I like it.

Thinking of this, Nangong Yu couldn't hide his pride in his eyes, and in a blink of an eye he saw Gu Ruolan opposite him also looking at him.

When Gu Ruolan looked at Nangong Yu, she didn't expect to be met with gazes.

She was a little excited for a moment, but then she became depressed.

Nangong Yu, who was originally quite high-spirited, suddenly turned into a cold and indifferent expression after meeting her gaze. He also immediately turned away.

Qin Mingyuan was also looking at Gu Ruoxi, with his body slightly tilted, as if he was looking into the distance, but he seemed to see Gu Ruoxi.

She was even more shocked to hear Gu Ruoxi talk about her life from childhood to adulthood, how she lived in the Marquis' Mansion with nothing to eat or wear, and no one in the Mansion knew of their existence.

Anyone who isn't stupid knows that either someone is deliberately trying to hide their existence from others, or they have been completely forgotten.

So, looking at Gu Ruoxi who was protecting Aunt Shu, he seemed to have discovered another side of this girl... like a kitten with bared fangs and claws.

Gu Ruoxi's words really shocked him. Although he had investigated before, the concubine who was assigned to him had no status in the Ningyuan Marquis family and no one would care if she died.

But I didn't expect it to be so lowly. He also saw the moment when Gu Ruolan and Nangong Yu's eyes met, but he twitched his mouth with a smile.
