After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

Seeing that his words seemed to have some effect, Gu Chang began to think about how the plot would develop.

He has already ruined the plot point of the heroine hooking up with a rich man, and what follows is the real duel between the heroine and her second sister.

The location was at the Anshan Palace half a month later. Ouyang Jingye's mother, Princess Li, arranged a blind date for him. The reason was that it was already autumn and the chrysanthemums were blooming, so it was a good time for everyone to come out and have fun. They could also dress up nicely so that she could choose a princess for my son.

At that time, the heroine will be framed by her second sister Xu Yuya and will be truly ruined.

This blind date event will also invite various young men, and Princess Li is also happy to promote other people's marriages.

The description of this part of the plot is rather vague. It only says that the heroine was framed by her second sister, which led to her downfall and humiliation. She was even locked up in the room by Xu's father and was not allowed to take a step out.

After her rebirth, the heroine made Xu Yuya suffer all the pain she had endured, and all of it was returned to Xu Yuya.

So now Gu Chang doesn’t know who the man who received instructions from Xu Yuya is.

Because of this incident, the heroine also attracted the attention of Princess Li. Princess Li felt that the child was too pitiful. Although her mother was a concubine, she still knew the name of Qin Zhaoxue, the eldest daughter of Qin Family Villa. With this relationship, the heroine quickly became a close friend of Princess Li. The heroine became famous in the aristocratic circle of the capital. In addition, she participated in some banquets where she could show her talents from time to time, and her popularity continued to rise, becoming a well-known talented woman in the capital.

That night.

Gu Chang pushed the door open and walked out. He really couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and went for a walk outside.

The night was as dark as ink, without even a trace of starlight.

Gu Chang went back to his room, lit a candle, took the candle base, and went out.

The person on guard tonight is Long Qi. He watched Gu Chang, dressed in white, slowly walk out of the hospital gate and followed him silently.

Tonight, there is no wind and no moon.

It's a good day to steal.

Luo Ren stared at the closed door. He had long heard that the Lu Mansion had an armory containing General Lu's collection of weapons. Any item he took out would be a treasure.

He would never have dared to come before, but now was different. General Lu hadn't been back for over a decade, so if he did, he wouldn't have forgotten about the missing weapons. Besides, the Lu Mansion was now run by the sickly Lu Zhiyuan, so he wasn't afraid.

The huge Lu Mansion still allows him to come and go freely.

It was a good thing that the warehouse door was not locked.

Luo Ren was squatting behind the bushes, about to go over.

A dark shadow suddenly floated down from above his head. Luo Ren caught it without changing his expression and touched it. It was just a leaf.

I suddenly felt a chill behind my ear, and in an instant, the coldness swept through my whole body.

Luo Ren subconsciously reached out to touch it, but felt something cold and delicate that looked like human skin.

In the darkness, his senses were infinitely magnified.

He could even hear someone breathing shallowly behind him.

Luo Ren suppressed his uneasiness. Since someone was playing tricks on him, he might as well take advantage of the situation.

Anyway, there's still enough time. It doesn't matter if I play with others for a while.

Luo Ren didn't look back. He took out a tinder and blew at it the moment he turned around.

The fire lit up briefly, leaving only a little flame that was particularly eye-catching in the darkness.

Then Luo Ren saw a pale face very close to him, and the pair of red eyes were like a man-eating evil ghost, staring at him coldly.

“Ah——!!!” A scream pierced the sky, and the echo lingered.

The Lu Mansion is particularly lively tonight.

Gu Chang sat on the armchair at the front of the hall, his pale and handsome face showing no emotion.

Ten secret guards, both men and women, dressed in black guard uniforms stood below. Another was tied up like a dumpling and thrown on the cold ground, pretending to be dead.

Two of the ten secret guards are women.

Gu Chang's cold voice echoed in the hall, "I won't say much. If anyone wants to leave, just go ahead. I don't support idlers in the Lu Mansion."

The hall was silent for a moment, and then someone couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

The speaker was a tall, gorgeous woman with strikingly beautiful features. Her name was Long Shi.

Gu Chang raised his eyebrows. He was worried that no one would talk to him.

"With him." Gu Chang glanced at Luo Ren, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and said, "Tell me, what are you doing here?"

Luo Ren, who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead, felt several oppressive gazes focused on him. With a long face and tears in his eyes, he sat up from the ground and looked at Gu Chang, "Borrow..."

At this moment, Gu Chang's eyes were as cold as ice chips.

Luo Ren accepted his fate, "I heard General Lu has an armory, so I thought of taking a few insignificant items from there and then selling them."

Long Shi said in a cold voice, "We can guarantee that we won't make such a mistake again next time."

Gu Chang sighed, "What if someone tries to assassinate me next time? What if they use me to threaten my father who's far away at the border? Can you guarantee that you won't let that happen next time?"

"A thief dared to break into the Lu Mansion. If I hadn't discovered it tonight, the loss would have been more than just a few weapons."

Gu Chang leaned back, his tone cold and his eyes arrogant, his handsome face showing no emotion, "That's why I said that the Lu Mansion doesn't support idlers."

"You are also the people chosen by my father. I will respect your wishes. I will not stop those who want to leave. I will have Uncle Wu pay off your wages for the past few years. When the time comes, those of you who leave will never be able to set foot in the Lu Mansion again."

"Hehe, Mr. Lu, you are too arrogant. Do you have the confidence that you will not be caught?!" Long Shi frowned.

The only people Gu often talked to were Long Shiyi and Long Yi. Long Yi was still silent, looking at him with his dark eyes. Long San and Long Qi looked at him with firm eyes. It seemed that the others would not stay in Lu Mansion.

"You are all secret guards trained by my father. It is really a waste of your talents to ask you to guard a sickly person all day long. I have made it very clear. If you stay, you are my people. If you leave, you will have no connection with the Lu Mansion. It doesn't matter whether you want to go to the border to find my father or rely on other forces. I will not care." Gu Chang ignored Long Shi's words. He picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat.

Long Shi was furious. Before she could say anything, she saw the person next to her kneeling down.

"I am leaving the Lu Mansion voluntarily."

Long Shi, "!!!"

As soon as someone starts, someone else will leave.

In the end, only five people were left standing in the hall.

"Miss Long Shi, aren't you leaving?" Gu Chang smiled faintly, but the look in his eyes was too teasing.

Long Shi suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Lu, please take care of yourself!" After that, he turned and left the hall.

Gu Chang looked at the four people left and asked with interest, "Long Er, why did you stay?"

Long Er had a strange and handsome appearance, with narrow eyes and half-closed eyelids. He spoke lazily, "I'm curious about how far you will go, Master."

Gu Changxin understood, "So you will wait until I die before leaving?"

"Master, you guessed right. During this period, I will absolutely be loyal to you. You can rest assured about this." Long Er opened his dead fish eyes and still spoke in that lazy tone.

But good-looking people are still good-looking even with dead fish eyes.

Gu Chang didn't know that Lu Qiao would consider appearance when selecting people.

"Okay then, Long San and Long Qi will still be responsible for their original duties. Long Yi, you continue to complete the tasks I gave you. As for you..." Gu Chang glanced at Long Er who was smiling, "Just do what you should do." He really couldn't think of anything else he could arrange for Long Er to do.

Now that six people were dismissed at once, it made no difference to Gu Chang. He just wanted to force out the person who had been lurking in the dark and slowly poisoning him.

Ryuji raised an eyebrow.

interesting.

"Master, some of the shops in the Lu Mansion were previously managed by Long Wu and Long Liu..." Long San reminded from the side.

Gu Chang pinched his eyebrows and said, "It's too late today. Let's go back first and discuss it tomorrow." After he said that, he left the hall directly.

Seeing this, the rest of the people scattered.

Someone still sitting on the ground: Don’t forget that there is another person here!

The candle flames went out in an instant.

Luo Ren: Ying.

The next morning, after Gu Chang finished his breakfast in the study, he asked Long Qi to come over and ask him to kick out Luo Ren, who had spent the night in the hall. Then he asked Long San to accompany him to check out the shops under the Lu Mansion.

The Lu family owned five shops, all well-known in the capital and strategically located. Two of them were part of Ye Wan's dowry and had been passed on to Lu Zhiyuan. Gu Chang had visited the other three shops and chatted with the owners. After gaining a general understanding, he assigned Long San to take over the responsibilities previously held by Long Wu and Long Liu.

Gu Chang didn't want to go back so early, so he just walked around casually.

Then he happened to meet the heroine Xu Ruowei who was dressed as a man.

Xu Ruowei walked out of a jade shop called Liuli Pavilion. She probably opened it herself.

As expected, the heroine cannot be understood by ordinary people. How could this jade shop survive in the capital without some strength and background?

"Mr. Lu." When Xu Ruowei saw Gu Chang in a dark green robe walking past her, she couldn't help but call him out.

There was a servant following behind her, who looked very smart.

Gu Chang tilted his head, paused, and spoke in a cold voice, as clear as the sound of a piano. There was a hint of alienation in those extremely beautiful eyes. "What's the matter?"

Xu Ruowei was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "I've heard of Mr. Lu's great name for a long time. My surname is Qin, and I've admired you for a long time. I wonder if Mr. Lu would be willing to meet me for a chat?"

The servant beside him echoed, "Yes, yes, my young master has admired you for a long time."

"If you don't have time, Mr. Lu, I will definitely visit you another day." Xu Ruowei was quick-witted. She knew that Lu Zhiyuan was a recognized sickly person in the capital. Although he was known as one of the four young masters of the capital, that was because of his appearance. Besides, he had only written one poem so far.

Although the son of a general was of no help to her, he was handsome, and a few more glances at such a person were enough. Moreover, Lu Zhiyuan's father, Lu Qiao, was the one who truly held the real power. Since she was on good terms with Lu Zhiyuan, it would not be a bad idea to let General Lu know about her words through Lu Zhiyuan.

In just a few seconds, Xu Ruowei had already thought of a countermeasure. She would not let Lu Zhiyuan go. At least she could not make him her enemy.

Gu Changdan learned from the plot that the heroine in the early stage was simply the incarnation of the golden finger, but this was not enough, he did not understand the heroine well enough.

"No problem." Gu Chang was very cold.

The system shouted from the side, "Come on, host! \（￣︶￣）/"

Xu Ruowei's face was a little excited, and her almond-shaped eyes seemed to be shining with stars. "That's great! If Mr. Lu doesn't mind, let's go to Yunhe Tower."

Yunhelou is a famous restaurant in Beijing. Several of its famous dishes are very well-known, but the consumption level is also higher than that of ordinary restaurants. To put it bluntly, the dishes are delicious and expensive, and the geographical location is also very advantageous.

The heroine was willing to invite Gu Chang to Yunhe Tower, and she spent a lot of money.

The servant was about to say something but stopped himself, but when he saw the guard behind Gu Chang glance at him, he immediately followed Xu Ruowei obediently.

Xu Ruowei warmly invited Gu Chang to get on the carriage, and Long San served as the groom.

Inside the carriage, Xu Ruowei gave Gu Chang a friendly look, her lips curled slightly, "Doesn't Mr. Lu come out often?"

Gu Chang sat upright, his waist-length black hair held back only by a black silk headband, a few strands dangling by his ears. With his head slightly lowered, his jawline was perfectly smooth and graceful. His raven-feather eyelashes drooped, and his complexion was pale. Only his cool, indifferent voice echoed from within the carriage, "Hmm."

Xu Ruowei almost stopped breathing. In her previous life, she had only heard some things about Lu Zhiyuan, and this was the first time she saw him in person so close.

I didn’t dare to look too much at Zhuqieju before, for fear that someone would discover something.

This person was sitting next to her, and she could smell a faint, cold fragrance. If possible, she didn't want Lu Zhiyuan to die so soon.

What a pity.

Such a person should have been admired by others, but in the end he died of a cold.

Gu Chang endured Xu Ruowei's covetous gaze, lifted the curtain with a cold face and didn't look at her.

Is the heroine so hungry?
