Chapter 273: Biezhuang
Gu Zhao stepped forward to salute with fists in his hands: "The last general will see Princess Su."
Shen Mingjiao waved his hand: "Master Gu, you don\'t need to be too polite, it\'s my concubine who came here uninvited..."
The two exchanged a few simple greetings, and Gu Zhao subconsciously looked at his daughter.
When Gu Danxue saw him, his shoulders subconsciously shrank back, fear and cowardice appeared in his eyes.
Gu Zhao frowned. He was born in martial arts and has a rough personality.
But no matter how disliked, this is also his daughter, he said to Gu Danxue patiently:
"Why is your complexion so bad, and you haven\'t eaten?"
Perhaps because of training soldiers in the military camp all year round, his soft voice, which he thought he thought to be gentle, also carried blunt orders in people\'s ears.
Sure enough, the timidity in Gu Danxue\'s eyes was even stronger.
Shen Mingjiao sighed secretly. In the previous life, after Gu Danxue died, Gu Zhao took Gu Danxue\'s son to the border and never came back.
Seeing his daughter like this, Gu Zhao completely lost his patience, and went straight to the topic in a cold voice:
"Your Majesty let you marry the prince in advance, and the marriage will be granted in half a month. You should take care of it these few days. As for that Bai Zhegui, he is definitely not a good man."
After he finished speaking, Gu Danxue, who was always afraid of him, suddenly raised his head to meet his gaze, clenched his fists, and summoned up his courage:
"Master Bai is a good man..."
Gu Zhao interrupted him with a sneer:
"Good man! A good man can elope with a girl who hasn\'t left the court!"
Gu Danxue pursed her lips and remained silent. Seeing that the two were in such a stalemate, Shen Mingjiao gave Gu Danxue a reassuring look, then turned to look at the sullen Gu Zhao:
"Master Hou, can you take a step to speak."
…
A group of people left Gu Danxue\'s yard. In order to avoid suspicion, Gu Zhao led Shen Mingjiao and the others to an octagonal gazebo in the garden.
Gu Zhao asked straight to the point: "I don\'t know what\'s the matter with the princess?"
Shen Mingjiao asked directly: "What is Hou Ye going to do about Dan Xue and that Mr. Bai?"
Gu Zhao only thought that the people in the mansion leaked the news, so Princess Su came here on the first day of the new year. He frowned:
"That Bai Zhegui is definitely not a good man, I will not agree with Dan Xue being with her."
Shen Mingjiao asked curiously: "Is that Mr. Bai still at the mansion?"
After all, it is said that the two were eloped and were arrested, so with Gu Zhao\'s temperament, it should be impossible to let Bai Zhegui go.
Mentioning this, Gu Zhao\'s face became even more ugly: "Danxue knelt down and begged me to let that man go. But I have already sent someone to follow."
Shen Mingjiao nodded, and said coldly: "That Bai Zhegui is a scumbag, he has married a wife in Pingjiang Mansion, but his wife is infertile." The unfinished meaning is self-evident.
"If Lord Hou doesn\'t believe it, you can send someone to Pingjiang Mansion to investigate."
Gu Zhao\'s forehead burst into blue veins: "I sent someone there last night."
There is no need for Princess Su to lie to him about this kind of thing.
"With all due respect, if Lord Hou uses strong means to separate the two, it may backfire. Even if Danxue is forcibly arranged by you to marry someone else, she will never be happy for the rest of her life."
Gu Zhao took a deep breath: "I don\'t know what the princess can do?"
"Try to let Gu Danxue see the essence of a scumbag with his own eyes."
Besides this, she couldn\'t think of any other good way.
Having finished what should be said, she was about to turn around and leave. When she thought of something, she thought about it:
"If this matter is resolved, Lord Hou still wants Danxue to marry the prince?"
Gu Zhao didn\'t answer, but asked: "What\'s wrong with marrying the prince?"
Shen Mingjiao said indifferently: "The prince is very good, but it\'s a pity that Yu Danxue is not a good match."
…
Three days later, Ningyuan Hou Gu Zhao took his daughter to relax, and took Gu\'s family to a hot spring villa in the suburbs of Beijing. Coincidentally, there happened to be a Zhuangzi next door to Su Wang\'s mansion.
The two parties arrived at Zhuangzi\'s gate almost at the same time. Gu Danxue got out of the car, and the moment she saw Shen Mingjiao, she was naturally in a great mood.
Shen Mingjiao came over, waved everyone off, and said with a smile, "You look good today."
It\'s really good. Compared with three days ago, although his face is still pale and thin, his eyes are full of energy.
Gu Danxue hummed a little clumsily: "...Princess\'s complexion is also very good."
The two of them chatted very happily, not far away, Gu Yun, Gu Erye\'s daughter, curled her lips in disdain: "It\'s really ugly people who make troubles!"
Mother Wang gave her a warning look, and lowered her voice and reprimanded: "Shut up! Don\'t look at who is standing opposite."
Recalling Shen Mingjiao\'s notoriety, Gu Yun shrank her neck.
But thinking of her parents\' plans last night, her heart suddenly jumped with excitement.
Shen Mingjiao glanced at Zhuangzi behind the crowd, and said to Gu Danxue: "Your house is really lively here, why don\'t we come together! There are more people and more lively,"
Gu Danxue naturally wouldn\'t object. After entering the Zhuangzi, Shen Mingjiao pretended to be curious and asked: "I\'m in such a good mood today, did you agree with Mr. Bai?"
Gu Danxue lowered her head in embarrassment, "Father only said that I will make up my mind about my marriage in the future."
With these words, she felt hopeful with Bai Zhegui.
She said in a low voice: "Mr. Bo wrote to me, asking me out to meet, and said that he wanted to discuss the matter of going to the house to propose marriage. I will let him come to Biezhuang, and then bring him to see my father."
After finishing speaking, she squeezed her fingers carefully: "Princess, am I right?"
Shen Mingjiao couldn\'t bear it in her heart, and said tentatively:
"In this case, why didn\'t Mr. Bai come to propose marriage earlier?"
Gu Danxue curled up his fingers calmly, shook his head in confusion, but subconsciously spoke out to defend his sweetheart:
"Because his father is only a fourth-rank magistrate, presumably he is afraid of coming to propose marriage, and my father is unwilling."
Shen Mingjiao said "Oh" and didn\'t say any more, people who are in love don\'t listen to persuasion.
She only asked: "Then, when did you make an appointment for him to come?"
"He said he would come in the afternoon and wait for me at the corner gate on the west side of Zhuangzi."
Shen Mingjiao: "It\'s still early, why don\'t we go shopping!"
Because of Mrs. Gu\'s secret plan, Gu Danxue hasn\'t gone out for a long time.
She is in a good mood at this time, and she naturally feels happy in everything she does. Therefore, the two went further and further apart, and they had reached the end of the junction of the two Zhuangzi.
Gu Danxue took a look, and said pleasantly: "Hey! Is there a Merlin over there?"
Shen Mingjiao looked at it intently, and seemed a little surprised: "This looks like a wild plum grove, why don\'t we go over and have a look,"
Gu Danxue also had some changes. The two of them arrived at Merlin, and before admiring them for a while, suddenly a delicate-looking and petite woman sprinted past the two of them, covering her face.
The two of them looked at each other, Gu Danxue was worried that something might happen to the girl, she might be overwhelmed, so she hesitated, feeling someone chasing after her.
She was afraid of bumping into some bad secrets, so she instinctively hid behind the dense plum tree on one side.
Fortunately, the person behind seemed to be thinking about the woman who ran away, and strode past the tree where the two were hiding.
When Gu Danxue saw the person passing by, his eyes were completely stunned.
Shen Mingjiao looked through the tree branch, and saw a young man in brocade clothes eagerly holding the girl\'s hand.
She looked at the other person\'s appearance curiously.
Well, barely considered medium height, just a little taller than her, a pretty face! In Shen Mingjiao\'s opinion, it was really just average.
The voices of the two came intermittently:
"Xinniang, listen to my explanation, I don\'t want to divorce my wife..."
The woman named Xinniang shook off his hand, sobbing and said: "But she is the prostitute of the Hou family, I... I can\'t give birth to an heir for my husband, so my husband should divorce me!"
