The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

Chapter 8 Past and Present
"Master Gu is the left minister of the Ministry of Punishment." Lu Ping handed the name card in her hand to Jiang.

"What's she doing here?" Mrs. Jiang took it and took a look, then said to Zuo Xiangning: "I asked Mama Cai to make delicious food for you. If you don't want to stay here, take it back to eat."

Zuo Xiangning nodded absently.

It turned out to be Gu Zhiqing's mother.

When Jiang went to the front hall, Zuo Xiangning stood in the courtyard for a moment with deep thoughts, and then went to the small kitchen next to it.

"Fourth girl, why are you here?" Mother Cai wiped her hands and came out of the kitchen and said with a smile: "I made some snacks for you, including honey and jam."

Mother Cai is Jiang's wet nurse and a close confidant of Jiang's family. Jiang's children also get along very well with Mother Cai.

But Zuo Xiangning always felt that Cai's mother treated her better than her other siblings.

"I just came here to see you." Zuo Xiangning said with a smile: "You are getting older, so take a good rest when you have time."

Mother Cai was stunned for a moment, and then her eye circles turned red, "I'm not tired, I'm in good health. Yesterday I heard someone said that the old lady said you were fat, so I mixed honey and jam to make a snack. It should be It won't make you fat anymore. You can try it later and if it tastes good, I'll make it for you."

Zuo Xiangning felt slightly sour.

In the past, except for my third brother and eldest sister, I was taciturn in front of others, and was lukewarm to everyone. I didn't know how many people's hearts I had hurt without even knowing it.

Zuo Xiangning returned to Xianglanzhai and asked Pancui to go to Fanghuayuan, "Try to find out why Mrs. Gu is here?"

Pan Cui entered the house together with Lu Ping, Jiang's maid, and they had a good relationship.

Pancui nodded and trotted to Fanghuayuan.

After about two quarters of an hour, Jiang entered Xianglan Zhai with Pancui.

Pancui stood behind Jiang and looked at Zuo Xiangning pitifully.

Zuo Xiangning guessed that Pancui was caught and committed suicide?
"You all, get out." Jiang said with a sullen face, and sent everyone out after entering the room, leaving Luping and Pancui to guard the door.

Zuo Xiangning stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for Jiang, then stood obediently next to Jiang with her hands down.

Jiang took a sip of tea and then said to Zuo Xiangning who was standing next to her: "Sit there and tell me what happened yesterday?"

Zuo Xiangning sat half-assed on the chair and whispered: "What happened yesterday is not that the daughter doesn't want to tell her mother, but that the daughter doesn't want her mother to worry and get angry."

Jiang pointed at her forehead and said: "Such a big thing has happened. The Gu family has already come to propose marriage, and I don't know anything about it. How do people think this? It's you who are not treated well at home. See you? Or is there no one at home to support you? "

"The Gu family came to propose marriage?" Zuo Xiangning's expression suddenly changed, she took Jiang's arm and asked anxiously: "Why?"

In her previous life, the second young master of the Gu family saved her and never came to propose marriage. Later, Jiang lowered his head and went to see the Gu family, but the Gu family still didn't agree.

Why has this life changed?
"First tell me clearly what happened yesterday!" Jiang said solemnly.

Zuo Xiangning pouted and told the matter again as she told her eldest sister yesterday.

"Are they planning to rebel?" Jiang stood up suddenly, with a stern look on her face, and shouted outside: "Lu Ping, go get Zuo Xiangyu!"

Zuo Xiangning hurriedly stopped Jiang. She couldn't let things develop like in the previous life.

"Mother, it's impossible for you to ask the result now," Zuo Xiangning helped Jiang sit down and continued, "Eldest sister said that there must be something hidden in this matter. We can't rush it. We won't wait until their purpose is found out. It’s not too late to deal with them.”

Zuo Xiangning knew that Jiang's most important daughter was her eldest daughter. Only by saying that her eldest sister would intervene in this matter could Jiang's seizure be stopped for the time being. "What purpose can they have? They just don't like us!" Jiang said angrily: "How audacious, how dare they harm you like this! What happened in Prince Qi's Mansion, I can't see not only Zuo Xiangyun, but also Prince Qi It’s hard to escape the relationship!”

Zuo Xiangning's heart moved.

Will King Qi also be involved?

Zuo Xiangning asked in confusion: "Then the second young master of the Gu family didn't save me, so why did he come to propose marriage?"

"Mrs. Gu said that she was afraid that external rumors would damage your reputation. Moreover, she had met you several times and liked you very much. She felt that you were about the same age as her youngest son, so she rushed to propose marriage." Jiang said about the Gu family. , the expression on his face softened slightly, "The Gu family is a pretty good family."

Zuo Xiangning bit her lower lip and said, "My daughter doesn't want to marry into the Gu family."

"How can a woman not get married? However, your marriage is not in a hurry. We will wait until you are old enough." Jiang thought for a moment and said, "Who is the one who asked people to find your sister?"

Zuo Xiangning shook her head, "My daughter didn't ask."

"You kid, this person saved your life, and you still don't know who she is?" Jiang said angrily, "Go to Prince Chu's Mansion tomorrow and ask your sister. It's not okay to go and say thank you in the open, but secretly take a look. Why don't you send us some gifts so that others won't say we have no etiquette?"

Zuo Xiangning's heart was in a mess and her mind was dizzy. She couldn't hear clearly what Jiang said. She could only vaguely hear Jiang saying don't worry, he would seek justice for her.

Zuo Xiangning thought she could cut off her relationship with the Gu family for the time being. Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, she actually got involved with the Gu family again.

She wouldn't have been busy for a long time and still get the same result as in her previous life, right?
Zuo Xiangning felt anxious and anxious. In the afternoon, she felt light-headed and hot all over.

Mr. Jiang invited a doctor into the house, took Zuo Xiangning's pulse, and prescribed two medicines to dispel wind and cold, relieve external symptoms and clear away heat.

"Are you angry?" Ms. Jiang sat beside Zuo Xiangning's bed, touched her forehead, and coaxed her softly, "There are rumors outside, and they are also rumors that the second young master of the Gu family loves you. What does it have to do with you? Is it related? Is it possible that whoever likes us has to marry whomever we want? We can spread the word as much as they like, we have our own ideas in our own minds, and it’s useless what anyone says!”

Zuo Xiangning felt even more aggrieved when she heard there were rumors outside.

Especially Jiang and her eldest sister's favorable impression of the Gu family and Gu Zhicheng made her feel unsure.

"I still have to go to the backyard and ask Mama Cai to accompany you. If anything happens, just send someone to call me." Jiang helped her tuck in the quilt and warned Pancui and Panxia before finally He hurried to the backyard.

Zuo Xiangning listened to the faint sound of gongs and drums outside, and asked Cai's mother boredly: "When was I recorded in Madam's name?"

"When you were born, Madam recorded you in her name, but she never told anyone about it, for fear that Aunt Liu would make trouble. You know, the old lady has always been biased towards Aunt Liu. If there was any trouble, Madam would have to bow her head. "Mother Cai looked at her moist and bright eyes and couldn't help but say again: "Madam, she sincerely treats you as her own daughter."

"I know." Zuo Xiang sighed longly.

In her previous life, she knew that she was in Madam's name and was about to marry into the Gu family. Jiang used his own dowry to buy her a dowry as his legitimate daughter. Mother Liu and her daughter were dissatisfied and made a fuss.

Aunt Liu cried to her in private, saying that Jiang was evil-minded and deliberately used Zuo Xiangning's status as a legitimate daughter to demean her two daughters. She said that Zuo Xiangning was used as a stepping stone for Jiang to become a virtuous and loving mother.

At that time, I was still resentful of Jiang. Why didn't I think about it? How could Jiang have her in his name if he wasn't sincere?Let her enjoy the honor of a legitimate daughter?

Thinking about the two years when she had been hiding from the Gu family, when Jiang had just lost her eldest son and was still thinking about her eldest daughter in the palace, even when she was exhausted mentally and physically, she still tried every means to help her, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

In her previous life, she must have been deceived by lard, so she would only listen to one's own beliefs, be unfilial, unjust, unjust, and unworthy of being the son of a human being.

She must find ways to prevent things from developing in the past life!
