The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

This makes sense. Otherwise, how could Yu be so kind in this life as to take me back a year earlier?

In their hearts, they should die of old age in the Qin family manor!

If it weren't for Qin Shu, the treasure in their hearts, I wouldn't have the qualifications to return to the Marquis' Mansion in this life, let alone the previous life.

Although coming back means death, the way of death still has its own rules. In the eyes of Yu Shi and others, all the value of a person must be squeezed out before he deserves to die.

So no matter in the previous life or this life, I still have certain value!

Looking at Gu Yunzhou getting closer and closer, Qin Wenlan could only temporarily put her scattered thoughts into order. However, she probably wouldn't be able to recognize the person in front of her in this life!

Gu Yunzhou didn't expect that he would meet the eldest lady who had just been brought back from the Marquis' Mansion here.

He took a step forward and took the initiative to speak, "Miss Qin."

Qin Wenlan suppressed the disgust and contempt in his heart and glanced at him coldly, "Who are you? Do we know each other?"

When Gu Yunzhou heard this, he froze instantly. He didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Qin family would be so straightforward. Even if she really didn't know him, she could tell from her clothes!

The person following him chuckled, "How dare you be so rude to the Fifth Prince!"

"Oh, so you are the Fifth Prince. I'm sorry, I just came back from the manor and don't know the people in the capital very well."

He bowed perfunctorily to Gu Yunzhou, and then Qin Wenlan walked past them and prepared to leave without waiting for Gu Yunzhou's response.

The guard suddenly raised his hand to stop her.

Qin Wenlan frowned, turned around and looked at Gu Yunzhou again, and said coldly: "What do you mean? I have just apologized. A dignified prince should not be so narrow-minded!" Qin Wenlan deliberately spoke incoherently.

"Yu Hu, you must not be rude to the eldest lady of the Qin family."

After saying that, Gu Yunzhou waved to the guard, signaling him to step back, and then he took a few steps towards this side.

He looked at Qin Wenlan with a smile and said, "Miss Qin, when you were brought back last time, I took a quick glance at you at the city gate. It's only natural that you didn't recognize me."

Qin Wenlan rolled her eyes in her heart. How could she, who had just returned, pay attention to the pedestrians along the way? Besides, if she had the leisure time, wouldn't she enjoy the scenery?

Gu Yunzhou still felt a little disappointed. After all, he was deeply attracted to her the last time he took a quick glance at her, and he asked the guards to find out.

Only then did he realize that there was such a person in Qin Hou Mansion. From his appearance to his speech and behavior, he was exactly like him!

So from then on, I tried to find a way to get into the Qin Hou Mansion, and it was not until today that I had the opportunity to come in openly.

The information spread from the Marquis' Mansion said that Miss Qin had grown up in the Qin family manor, and outsiders all thought that this girl was vulgar.

But how could the world know the true inner nature of this woman? Or maybe he had the foresight to find out early on.

Perhaps because of Qin Wenlan's practice, he is very sensitive to people's emotional fluctuations.

Therefore, she sensed Gu Yunzhou's emotional instability almost immediately.

She frowned slightly. In her previous life, she had never met Gu Yunzhou like this.

Maybe it was because I was only concerned with treating everyone in the Marquis' Mansion wholeheartedly at that time, and put all my energy into it.

So even if I met anyone at a birthday party like today in my previous life, I probably wouldn’t remember or take it to heart!

However, it is impossible for a prince to treat himself, a person who grew up in the manor, the way he does now in his previous life.

After all, I didn't look like this in my previous life! It seems that because of my cultivation, I have unknowingly become the focus of others' attention.

This was not something she wanted to see. It seemed that she would have to be more restrained in the future, otherwise she would be like now, buzzing around like a fly, annoying everyone.

However, compared to his previous life, Gu Yunzhou now looks like a decent human being. In his previous life, he was clearly very dismissive of himself, full of disgust and hatred.

It's not like now that he's actively chatting with me. And just now, she asked if we knew each other, and she clearly sensed that he was in a low mood.

These things only flashed through Qin Wenlan's mind. She lowered her eyes again and said, "I'm sorry, even if we knew each other then, I wouldn't remember it, because I don't bother with unimportant things and people."

Gu Yunzhou had already put away the disappointment on his face and replaced it with a gentle smile, "I can't blame you, there were a lot of people at the city gate that day, it's normal that you didn't recognize me.

But, don’t we know each other now? I hope Miss Qin won’t say she doesn’t know me anymore.”

Looking at Gu Yunzhou's smiling face and listening to his soft words, to be honest, Qin Wenlan was a little uncomfortable and almost vomited the food he had eaten the night before.

I remember that in his previous life, due to the struggle for imperial power, he was a murderer, and he showed no mercy when killing his fellow countrymen. His cruel and ruthless appearance still remains to this day...

"Qin Wenlan, why are you here?" Suddenly, a gentle voice came.

When Qin Wenlan raised his eyes, he saw a charming figure walking towards him.

This person is Qin Shu, the "legitimate daughter" of the Qin family.

Speaking of how to address the two of them, it's a lot of a hassle. Qin Wenlan is originally the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's family, but because they are the same age, it's really difficult to address them!

Although she was the legitimate daughter, because Min was gone, Yu climbed from a concubine to the position of stepmother, and her status as a legitimate daughter was really embarrassing.

According to age, the two should be equal in age, and according to the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, Qin Wenlan is of course the eldest daughter.

But Yu is now the lady of the Marquis’ Mansion, so Qin Wenlan can only think of herself and insist on her identity as the eldest daughter.

Perhaps she didn't pay much attention to these things in her previous life, so people didn't take them seriously. In this life, she didn't come here for family affection.

So even though no one recognized her identity, because of her persistence, everyone in the Marquis' Mansion called her the eldest lady.

However, most of the time, Qin Shu and I call each other by our respective names, except when we are in front of outsiders. But I think Qin Shu did it on purpose just now!

After Qin Shu finished calling Qin Wenlan, he pretended to notice the Fifth Prince Gu Yunzhou coming and quickly bowed to him, "Shu'er greets the Fifth Prince."

The Fifth Prince was quite familiar with Qin Shu. After all, there was only a small circle in the capital, and Qin Shu was a good performer. She was always present at every flower-viewing gathering.

"Miss Qin, there's no need to be so polite. Please get up!" Gu Yunzhou said with a wave of his hand.

"Thank you, Fifth Prince." Qin Shu stood up!

Then she turned her gaze to Qin Wenlan and said gently, "Wenlan, you're new here, and there are many things and people you don't know yet. Let me take you to get acquainted with them first!"
