Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Gu Jiaorong could see that Gu Fuying was hostile towards her, but it was not because of Pei Xu.

Xu Qingwan's private friends were all noble ladies in the capital, unlike Princess Nan'an, who invited all the women from official families, as if she wanted to make friends widely.

Noble ladies have their own pride, and not all of them rush to become concubines. Since birth, they have been strictly trained according to the standards of the mistress of the house, and they will also become the main wife in the future.

Especially Gu Fuying, who came from a military family, disliked women who relied on despicable means to get to the top.

What's more, the rumored Gu Jiaorong was a bit seductive and seductive, so it was normal for Gu Fuying not to like her.

Gu Jiaorong had no intention of explaining. She was just waiting for the plot to end, for the prince and princess to finally get married, and then she could retire and enjoy her old age.

Although she doesn't know when this story will end, having hope makes life more motivated.

"Fuying, you are all my friends."

Xu Qingwan looked at Gu Fuying disapprovingly, her tone soft.

Gu Jiaorong curled her lips slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes. They might be friends, but Xu Qingwan was definitely not just a friend to her.

"There's no need to argue over me. I'm only here because Miss Xu sent her maid to the palace to apologize to me and sincerely invited me. I've come today and returned the gift, so I won't disturb the ladies' fun here. I'll take my leave now."

Gu Jiaorong knew that after today, the news of her falling out of favor would not only spread in the market.

Her goal has been achieved, so there is no need to be hypocritical here anymore.

Xu Qingwan probably didn't expect that Gu Jiaorong was really going to leave. She was stunned for a moment before looking at her back and chasing after her.

Gu Jiaorong walked quickly, thinking only about getting off work.

Xu Qingwan jogged and caught up with her in the courtyard.

"Sister Jiaorong, don't be angry. Fuying is just a straightforward person and has no ill intentions."

Xu Qingwan didn't want to let Gu Jiaorong leave so soon. She hadn't had time to have a good chat with Gu Jiaorong yet.

"Miss Xu, I'm not angry. I think Miss Gu is right. With my status, I shouldn't be playing with you all. There's no need to invite me to banquets like this in the future."

Gu Jiaorong's eyes were still curved, but there was no smile in them.

"Miss Xu, there's no need to keep me here. I'll take my leave now."

Gu Jiaorong was determined to leave, and Shaoyao could naturally see it. As soon as she entered the Xu Mansion, Shaoyao felt that they shouldn't have come.

Xu Qingwan stood in the courtyard, looking at Gu Jiaorong's figure, feeling a little regretful.

She messed it up.

"Qingwan, why are you standing here? The sisters are waiting for you."

After a while, Wang Sirou came back to find Xu Qingwan and said with a smile: "You take her too seriously. She is just a concubine who has fallen out of favor. Even if she is favored, what's the point? If she doesn't give us face, there is no need for us to rush to please her."

Xu Qingwan opened her mouth, wanting to say something in defense, but in the end she didn't say anything.

Seeing that her expression relaxed, Wang Sirou pushed her into the house.

"Don't think about that, the sisters are waiting for you."

Wang Sirou mentioned the girls again, and Xu Qingwan followed her back reluctantly, but she still felt regretful, as she was afraid that there would be no such opportunity in the future.

-

The news that Gu Jiaorong had a bad time at Xu Qingwan's private party spread quickly, and even Xie Wanning, who was not on good terms with Xu Qingwan, knew about it.

"Princess, this is really easy to get."

Chunzhi smiled and said, "We were worried that the bitch would make friends with the powerful and wealthy, and it would be difficult to punish her in the future. But she went to two banquets and offended most of the nobles in the capital."

Not to mention Chunzhi, Xie Wanning also smiled when she heard the news.

"She's nothing more than a fool. Besides being able to seduce the master, I don't think she'll amount to anything significant. The prince has lost interest in her now. We can just wait for him to gradually forget about her. It's up to us to kill her or chop her up as we please."

Xie Wanning snorted and laughed, her tone full of disdain.

She had been dissatisfied with Gu Jiaorong for a long time and wished she could skin her alive.

Now that something like this has happened, she can't help but feel proud.

"However, we still don't know whether Shen Zhaohua's bitch jumping into the lake was her doing. If it really was related to her, then she's hiding it too well."

Chunzhi frowned. That day, she only thought that Gu Jiaorong was soft-hearted and easy to control, but she never thought that she was a scheming person.

"It doesn't matter whether it's related to her or not. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with us. We can just watch the fight from the other side of the river."

Xie Wanning was relaxed, but she never thought that Gu Jiaorong had dragged her into this in the morning.

But since it concerns the princess, Fu'an dare not act rashly. He has to wait for the prince to come back before making a decision.

What's more, Shen Zhaohua refused to speak, and Aunt Gu had gone out to attend a banquet. Even if Fu'an had supernatural powers, there was nothing he could do.

"What the princess said is true. After all, this removes two stumbling blocks, so it's a good deal anyway."

Chunzhi nodded in agreement, becoming more convinced that her original idea was correct.

It’s a pity that the princess sometimes doesn’t listen to advice, which makes it difficult for her.

"Go and listen to what the prince does to them when he comes back."

Pei Xu never handed over the affairs of the palace to Xie Wanning, and she, the princess, was just a decoration, which made Xie Wanning very dissatisfied. But Chunzhi always advised her to be patient. Now, she, the princess, sent people to inquire about the news before she learned about the affairs of the palace.

But thinking about it, Chunzhi's words were not wrong. No matter what means she used, she had now successfully married Pei Xu. As long as she firmly sat on the position of princess, there was no need to rush the rest and she could take her time.

"Yes, princess."

Chunzhi naturally also wanted to know how the prince would deal with them.

But the prince seemed to be on guard against the princess and refused to reveal any information.

After Pei Xu returned from the Dali Temple, he went straight to Shen Zhaohua's yard.

At present, gunpowder and water wheels are still under development, so he certainly would not let Shen Zhaohua get into trouble, but he was also dissatisfied with Shen Zhaohua's jumping into the lake.

Whether Shen Zhaohua took extreme measures to attract his attention or really wanted to commit suicide, it made no difference to Pei Xu.

He stood by the bed, looking at the pale-faced Shen Zhaohua with an unhappy tone.

"Zhaohua, you're so willful. I'm so disappointed in you. I told you I've been very busy lately and don't have time to spend with you. Why can't you understand me? Why do you have to use this method to provoke me? Do you think I'd feel better if you died?"

Pei Xu's reproach made Shen Zhaohua even more sad.

Shen Zhaohua turned her head slightly and refused to look at Pei Xu. She felt like her heart was breaking.

She just wanted a pure love, which Pei Xu couldn't give her. She wanted to go home, but she failed.

How she wished this was just a dream, and when she woke up, Pei Xu was fake, love was fake, and the pain she suffered was also fake.

But it was all real, she raised her hand and wiped her wet cheeks.
