Gu Ningshuang didn't see the clothes worn by her servants on her body, and she was immediately disappointed.
However, she quickly cheered up again.
She specially invited Zuo Qing here today just to use what she saw and heard to pass back to Master Zuo, the imperial censor. As long as Han Ling'er said that she was bullied by Li Huang, her purpose today would be achieved.
Thinking of this, she went up and held Han Ling'er's hand: "Cousin, I went to your house yesterday to look for you. People in your house said you were not here. I didn't expect you to be at the eldest princess's house."
Even Ye Jiuning couldn't help but frown after seeing this pretentious gesture.
She didn't know whether Gu Ningshuang had been to the Han Mansion or not. She only knew that Gu Ningshuang came here for Han Ling'er.
Han Ling'er was also a little confused. When did her cousin, who had a high level of ambition, become so enthusiastic about her?
"Cousin, what are you doing in the eldest princess's mansion during the Chinese New Year?"
When Gu Ningshuang asked this question, she glanced at Li Huang from the corner of her eye.
During the Chinese New Year, it was unbecoming to detain a court lady in the house, but she wanted to see what kind of flowers she could tell!
Li Huang didn't even give her an extra glance.
Gu Ningshuang saw that Han Linger was silent for a long time, so she couldn't help but urge: "Cousin, if you are in trouble, just tell me and my mother will definitely help you."
Gu Ningshuang didn't mention the Han family. As soon as she mentioned it, Han Ling'er's face immediately darkened.
She has stayed in the eldest princess's mansion for such a long time. If her aunt really missed her, she would have sent someone to pick her up long ago.
She looked at Gu Ningshuang, her face turned cold, and she withdrew her hand: "Thank you, cousin, I don't have any difficulties."
At that palace banquet, if her good aunt hadn't kept giving her hints, would she have been so hot-headed as to stumbling upon the eldest princess?
Now, she was treated as an abandoned child by her family, and she was left in the eldest princess's house to cultivate horses, plant flowers and dig up soil. The daughter of the person who caused her to be here couldn't wait to see her lively.
Han Linger is so angry.
Gu Ningshuang's face was full of disbelief: "Why are you staying in the eldest princess's mansion if there is no difficulty?"
She almost pointed at Li Huang and scolded her for detaining the minister's daughter for no reason.
If it weren't for her demeanor, Li Huang would have rolled her eyes. Gu Ningshuang really didn't use her brain before she came to find trouble.
Even if she detains Han Ling'er to do some chores in the house, would Han Ling'er dare to say anything because of the loss of face?
Sure enough, when Han Ling'er heard this, she casually said: "The eldest princess left me in the palace to teach me the rules. After all, I caused such a big disaster at the palace banquet that day. If no one guides me, I will not know what to do in the future."
What trouble will it bring to the family?"
What she said was so beautiful that even Zuo Qing, who had always looked down on her, couldn't help but look at her favorably.
It seemed that during these two days in the Princess's mansion, she had indeed learned some rules and understood some principles.
However, Gu Ningshuang refused to give up. She took her a few steps away and asked in a low voice: "Cousin, don't be afraid. I specially invited two girls from the Ye family and the Zuo family to make decisions for you today.
Yes, if you have any grievances, you can tell us. So what if she is the eldest princess? Then you cannot bully the daughter of a minister at will."
Han Ling'er was filled with indignation when she saw what she said, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up in a mocking arc.
This mother and daughter are really virtuous and will only take advantage of her.
"I told you that the eldest princess is just keeping me in the house to teach me the rules. If my cousin doesn't believe me, you can stay with me."
Han Ling'er thought fervently in her heart, why should she be embarrassed and humiliated alone?
Since she, Gu Ningshuang, is so righteous, then let's go with her.
At this time, Li Huang also spoke at the right time: "Miss Han is right. If Miss Gu has doubts in her heart, why not stay together."
She said it easily, but Ye Jiuning's heart was beating wildly when she heard it.
She always felt that she shouldn't accompany Gu Ningshuang on this trip today.
Zuo Qing didn't know what these people were thinking, but seeing Gu Ningshuang acting like this, he knew that she didn't come here just to enjoy the flowers.
So, she also mentioned: "Yes, since the eldest princess has warmly invited me, if Miss Gu feels something is wrong, why not stay and take a look?"
Gu Ningshuang: "..."
Thinking of Li Huang's methods, Hao Hao couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart.
At this time, Han Ling'er had made up her mind to keep Gu Ningshuang with her, so she looked like she was hesitant to speak.
"Cousin, the eldest princess is really kind to me. You must not listen to the rumors outside."
With that said, she took the initiative to step forward and hold Gu Ningshuang's hand.
Gu Ningshuang saw the blisters on her hands at a glance, and her eyes immediately widened: "Cousin, what's wrong with your hands?"
Han Ling'er quickly retracted her hand and dodged her eyes: "It's nothing, I just accidentally burned it."
At this moment, Gu Ningshuang seemed to have found evidence that Han Ling'er was abused in the eldest princess's mansion. She was about to open her mouth to question, but was pulled hard by Han Ling'er.
"Cousin, the eldest princess won't admit it, please save it."
Gu Ningshuang took a deep breath, strode to Ye Jiuning, looked at her and asked: "Jiuning, would you like to stay with me to see what rules my cousin is learning?"
Ye Jiuning shook her head without thinking. So many experiences told her that when Gu Ningshuang faced off against Li Huang, she was the only one who would suffer.
She was not willing to accompany her to commit suicide.
Gu Ningshuang stomped her feet angrily: "Ye Jiuning, do you really think that having Ye Yunge in your Ye family is a big deal? Don't even think about it. If I hadn't taken you to play with me, who among the noble girls in this city would be able to look down on you?
An unloved concubine?"
Ye Jiuning didn't expect that Gu Ningshuang would turn up her face and say something so ugly, and immediately her face became dark: "Gu Ningshuang, today it was you who said that Han Ling'er was detained in the mansion by the eldest princess for no reason, and you wanted me to come with you to beg for mercy. Now Han Ling'er herself has
You said there is nothing wrong, but you insist on stirring up trouble. Do you think your Pingyang Marquis Mansion is so great that the eldest princess doesn’t dare to do anything to you?"
She had long been unable to bear Gu Ningshuang's bad temper. Since she was so angry today, she might as well do it more thoroughly.
If you hang out with her, you will be killed by her sooner or later.
Han Ling'er, who was also a concubine, was also stimulated by Gu Ningshuang's words, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
"Cousin, I'm just a concubine, so I won't bother you. You can go. I still have unfinished schoolwork."
With that said, she picked up the hem of her skirt and started to leave.
With sharp eyes, Gu Ningshuang noticed that her shoes were covered in mud.
She immediately shouted: "Wait a minute! Since the eldest princess has kindly invited me, I will stay here today."
She wanted to see what the rules of the eldest princess' mansion were like.
When the personal maid saw this, she had no choice but to return home to report the news.
Seeing this, Ye Jiuning quickly pulled Zuo Qing and left, fearing that if she took even one step, she would not be able to leave.
