famous eldest daughter

Chapter 61 Slap

After something like this happened, Gu Yuqing naturally had no intention of celebrating Dong Xueruo's birthday.

This was the Hongmen Banquet, so why should she care about the Dong family's face?

Returning to the garden, Jixiang had already been standing at the door. When he saw Gu Yuqing, he hurriedly raised his feet to greet her.

"Miss." Ji Xiang looked Gu Yuqing up and down, and felt relieved when he saw that she was indeed in peace.

"Tell the steward in the house that I am not feeling well, so I will go back first." Gu Yuqing glanced at the steward who was serving the guests in the garden from a distance, and told Ji Xiang.

Because it was Dong Xueruo's birthday, none of the guests invited were elderly people. Mrs. Yongning felt unwell and did not come out from the beginning.

Dong Xueyi, who was trying to figure everything out, was too busy to take care of herself at the moment, and Dong Xueluo and Dong Xueruo disappeared, so the nurse in charge had no choice but to bite the bullet and go on her own.

In front of one of her servants, the guests discussed what had just happened without any hesitation in speaking, and some of the outspoken ones made their words even more unpleasant.

Song Qian was sitting in the crowd like she was sitting on pins and needles, her face was blue and red, the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a twist, and she was about to cry.

The grandma in charge felt as if she was being fried in oil. She could neither stand nor sit, speak or not speak, and had an extremely twisted old face.

It's true that the eldest lady's family affairs are still in a mess, so she has to make trouble here.

Having worked in Yongning Houfu for most of her life, grandma encountered such a shameless situation for the first time.

"Mommy, my young lady is feeling unwell, so she's going back first." Ji Xiangxing came to Mammy's side and said directly with a cold face.

Their family has no good intentions towards the young lady, so why should she speak nicely and make them look good?

Mammy recognized that this was Ji Xiang who was serving Gu Yuqing. Now she knew what happened just now. Naturally, it was hard for Mammy to keep Gu Yuqing anymore. Moreover, even if she was too shy to stay, she couldn't.

"The house is winding, so I asked the maid to guide Miss Gu." Mammy said with an apologetic smile.

Reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling person, Grandma kept her posture low, and Ji Xiang no longer had a dull face. She nodded slightly, thanked her, and turned around to leave.

That Xiang Jixiang helped Gu Yuqing leave, and immediately there were people in the garden who couldn't sit still.

Those who came to the banquet were all well-known ladies and ladies in Kyoto. Except for those who were really careless like Song Qian, most of them still knew how to judge the situation.

The reason why the Yongning Houfu is glorious is just because of Concubine Hui. The male member of the Dong family is now an official in the court, but his political performance is only average.

Although flowers may not last forever, Concubine Hui has still been popular for more than ten years. In addition, the fourth prince she gave birth to is the emperor's favorite prince, so it is inevitable that she will be the one who aspires to the throne in the future.

Don't offend me!
But over at the Chinan Houfu, although Gu Yuqing's grandfather's family, the famous Gusu family in Qibei no longer existed, the disciples of General Gusu were famous generals in the court and were quite favored.

As for Gu Yuqing's father, Gu Zhen, although he has been obsessed with searching for elixirs and medicines in recent years, he is still a very important person in front of the emperor. It is said that he has a very good personal relationship with the emperor.

As for Gu Yuqing herself, she was very fond of the Queen Mother, and she might have pointed out which prince should be his concubine. If that prince aspired to become the throne, she would be the queen.

For a time, all the guests were comparing and contrasting in their minds, but they could not distinguish between Gu Yuqing and the Dong family.

The guests in the garden in this room were still debating whether they should get up and leave, but Gu Yuqing in the other room had already brought Jixiang to the second door.

"Miss Gu!"

Gu Yuqing was about to get on the carriage when she suddenly heard someone shouting from behind. She couldn't help but paused and turned around to look back.

Dong Xueruo, the third young lady of the Dong family and the current mistress, walked up to Gu Yuqing.

"Today is my birthday and Miss Gu left like this. Don't you think you are going too far?" Dong Xueruo looked at Gu Yuqing with sinister eyes.

Gu Yuqing gave a sarcastic sneer at the corner of her mouth, looked back at Dong Xueruo, and snorted: "Too much? Compared with your eldest sister, I am far behind. You chased me all the way from the garden just to stop me?"

As soon as Gu Yuqing finished speaking, she felt a cool breeze coming towards her. Dong Xueruo reached out and slapped her across the head and face.

"Of course not, I'm here to..."

Dong Xueruo was caught off guard and was about to slap Gu Yuqing on the face, but he was suddenly grabbed by someone. Dong Xueruo's words came to an abrupt end while gritting his teeth.

"You are so bold!" Dong Xueruo turned around and glared angrily at Ji Xiang, who was standing beside Gu Yuqing, "You dare to stop me even if you are a low-handed maid, let go!"

As Dong Xueruo spoke, he struggled to shake off the hand that was tightly squeezed by Ji Xiang.

Ji Xiang seemed not to hear it and remained unmoved. He only squeezed Dong Xueruo's wrist with more strength.

Dong Xueruo was so painful that he broke into a cold sweat.

"Hurry up and ask her to let go!" Dong Xueruo's face suddenly turned as white as rice paper in pain, and he gritted his teeth and said to Gu Yuqing.

Gu Yuqing turned her head to one side, looked at Dong Xueruo coldly, smiled playfully, and said, "What if I don't let her let go?"

"You..." Dong Xueruo's sinister eyes flashed with cold light, "You'd better think clearly, my aunt won't let you go. Don't drag Chinan Marquis to be buried with you just for the sake of pleasure."

Gu Yuqing immediately sneered, "Buried with you? Miss Dong San really knows how to use words."

"I think Miss Dong San also knows that the Queen Mother has always loved me. If I ran to her old man and cried and said that you beat me today, what do you think she would do?"

Dong Xueruo's mouth trembled and he said bitterly: "I didn't hit you at all!"

Gu Yuqing smiled sarcastically, "That's not important. What's important is that as long as I say you beat me, you beat me. Do you think the Queen Mother will believe you more or me?"

Dong Xueruo's heart suddenly shrank and he was a little scared.

The purpose of following Gu Yuqing out was to slap her in the face to vent her anger on Dong Xueyi.

Stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice. At this moment, I hate Gu Yuqing in my heart, but I also know the importance of Gu Yuqing in front of the Queen Mother. If she really goes and complains about what happened today...

Thinking of the consequences, Dong Xueruo's heart trembled even more with fear.

Although she was afraid in her heart, she said firmly: "My eldest sister just misunderstood you about what happened today. Even if the Queen Mother knew about it, she would still be considerate of my eldest sister. After all, you and Brother Ce are alone and alone." Being in a secluded place will inevitably make people worry.”

Gu Yuqing sneered, her eyes shining like diamonds, but the light was cold.

"One code is another code. Now let's talk about you, why are you dragging out your eldest sister again!" Gu Yuqing moved forward slightly, approached Dong Xueruo, and said: "Do you know what the result of lifting a stone is? "

Dong Xueruo felt a chill in her heart when she was looked down upon by Gu Yuqing with an almost face-to-face cold look, and her mind had long gone blank.

I couldn't help but blurt out, "What is it?"
