The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Seeing Xu Zhilan's familiar look, Gu Deyin narrowed his eyes slightly.

Xu Zhilan's parents died young. Although she was protected by her grandparents, she actually lived a life of dependence on others and depended on her aunts and uncles.

Mrs. Xu was very fond of her niece. She would always be invited to stay at the Xuanning Hou Mansion for a while throughout the year, which allowed her to take a breather. At least as a cousin, she was a spoiled guest in the Xu family.

When Gu Deyin first married into the Xu family, she was cautious in everything, for fear of being laughed at if she did not do well.

At that time, Xu Zhilan, as her cousin, took great care of her. After all, Xu Zhilan, who seemed cheerful and laughed, was an intimate person who could speak her mind.

Later, Xu Zhilan's arranged marriage fell through. The groom's family disliked her for being an orphan, and felt that her fate was too tight to control their own son, so they wanted to break off the engagement.

From that time on, Xu Zhilan loved to laugh, but she always looked a little lonely in her eyes.

She comforted her a lot and even let her live in Lan Xinyuan, acting like a good sister.

But how did Xu Zhilan repay her?

She still remembered the scene in her previous life when she caught Xu Zhilan and Xu Ningyu in bed. At that time, she was so stimulated that she almost went crazy. After all, she really regarded Xu Zhilan as a good sister.

At that time, Xu Zhilan was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and begged her. She said that she was acting in a drunken manner, but it was not her sincerity.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid Xu Zhilan didn't have good intentions when he approached her in the first place.

Thinking of the past events of her previous life, her expression became even colder.

"What's going on? Are you so happy to see me coming?"

Xu Zhilan stepped forward with a smile, trying to reach out and pinch Gu Deyin's tender face like before.

Unexpectedly, Gu Deyin's face turned away, causing her hand to fly away.

She stood there in shock, the smile on her face frozen.

"We haven't seen each other for a while, why are you so unfamiliar with me?"

Her eyes gradually filled with loneliness.

Gu Deyin sneered, "Cousin, what do you mean by this? Just accuse me first."

Seeing Gu Deyin like this, Xu Zhilan was slightly frightened, but a smile appeared on her face, and she bumped Gu Deyin with her arm, "I hate it, I'm scared to death of you, I thought you really ignored me? "

Then, without waiting for Gu Deyin to answer, she shouted outside, "Send my luggage to the east wing first. Cousin, I'll stay there, so I can talk to you..."

Gu Deyin wanted to refuse her to live in Lan Xinyuan, but she soon overturned this idea. She had to see what Xu Zhilan wanted to do?

Until now, she has found clues to many things, but there is only one thing that she still cannot solve.

That was her death in her previous life.

Her lingering on the hospital bed began not long after the day she caught Xu Zhilan and Xu Ningyu having an affair.

The feeling of physical weakness dominated by the disease seemed to hit her heart. She secretly clenched her fists. She must have a healthy body in this life.

So she always had a question, was she really sick, or was she poisoned secretly?

By keeping Xu Zhilan by her side, she might be able to find the answer, she had a vague feeling.

After all, she and Mrs. Xu were currently at loggerheads, so she must have some agenda when she suddenly called her niece over.

Her father and she were both obstacles in Xu's path to wealth.

Xu Zhilan turned around and hugged Gu Deyin, "We sisters will sleep together tonight, so we can have a private chat."

Gu Deyin chuckled, "Okay."

Just let me see what medicine you are selling in your gourd?

Mrs. Xu on the other side was waiting anxiously. Gu Deyin was now out of luck. If even Xu Zhilan couldn't get close to her, then she would have to find another way.

Unexpectedly, the servant soon brought the accurate letter, saying that the cousin was staying in Lanxinyuan, and the second grandmother entertained her warmly.

Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That's good, my niece is not completely useless.

That night, Gu Deyin and Xu Zhilan slept on the same bed.

Xu Zhilan had endless words to say, but Gu Deyin responded from time to time and fell asleep quickly. Seeing that she was asleep, Xu Zhilan's eyes flickered for a moment, and then she closed her eyes.

The Xu family seems to be in peace, but just dealing with the lawsuit in Dali Temple and the impeachment of the censor made the Xu family and the men of the Xu family run around.

Xu Zhilan never mentioned Xu Ningyu, but just drank tea, admired flowers and chatted with Gu Deyin, and even took Gu Deyin to walk around the house.

Gu Deyin didn't refuse. Although she had no interest in the mansion, she still followed him around.

Walking to the side door, Xu Zhilan had a stomachache and was in a hurry to go to the toilet. Gu Deyin had to wait for her. She felt bored for a moment, and saw butterflies flying. She became interested, raised a round fan, and went to flutter at the butterflies.

Inadvertently, I jumped behind the rockery. As a result, Butterfly couldn't jump, but I saw an unexpected scene.

I saw Mu from the third room talking to a strange man at the door on this side. Both of them had serious expressions, and it didn't look like they were having an affair.

Gu Deyin signaled the maid next to her to be silent and hid behind the rockery to peek at the two of them talking.

She gradually took in the full view of the strange man's face, and she was shocked to the spot.

She had seen this face before.

But where have you seen it?

She couldn't think of it for a moment, and until the man walked out of the side door and left the Marquis' Mansion, and Mu returned to the inner courtyard as if nothing had happened, she was still stuck in place, thinking hard.

It wasn't until someone tapped her on the shoulder that she suddenly turned around as if frightened, and saw Xu Zhilan looking at her with a smile.

"What are you thinking about? So absorbed."

"I didn't think anything of it."

Xu Zhilan didn't believe her, "You want to hide it from me too?"

"It's fine in the first place, how could you hide it? By the way, why did you go to the toilet for so long?"

Xu Zhilan waved her hand, "Hey, don't mention it."

Gu Deyin sneered, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it."

She directly sent an army back.

Xu Zhilan saw her leaving immediately and hurriedly chased after her, "Are you really angry?"

"No."

Gu Deyin couldn't care less about her affairs. Instead, she was thinking about where she had seen that man. The man impressed her, but the impression was not very deep.

Xu Zhilan thought she was angry and said quickly, "Okay, okay, I'll just tell you."

Gu Deyin looked at her intently.

Xu Zhilan whispered, "I just came out after going to the toilet, guess who I saw?"

Gu Deyin was shocked. Could it be that she saw Mu having a private meeting with a man? And she knows that man?

"Who did you see?"

She asked immediately, maybe she could get some clues from Xu Zhilan.

Xu Zhilan whispered to her, "I saw my cousin hooking up with someone, and it seems that she is privately engaged for life."

When Gu Deyin heard this, he was immediately disappointed.

"Oh, which cousin did you see misbehaving?"

She replied without much interest.

Xu Zhilan bumped her shoulder, "Who else? She's my cousin."

Xu Huiyu?

Gu Deyin suddenly stopped and looked at Xu Zhilan.

She has never been able to figure out who dug such a big hole for her when Xu Huiyu had an affair with her foreign husband when she lived abroad.

Now she has the answer. It turns out that Xu Zhilan was behind it.
