Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 158: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 37

Lan Yu raised her foot and kicked the woman who was talking nonsense away.

Bai Shuang cursed, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will pull out your tongue!"

The woman fell to the side of the road, holding her stomach, her eyes still stubbornly looking at Gu Li. When the master and servant passed by her, the woman grabbed Gu Li's skirt.

She was in tears at this moment, begging: "County Lady, please save me, I don't want to stay in the palace, please let me go."

"Let go, do you want to die?" Lan Yu raised his foot and stepped on the woman's hand.

The woman's face was swollen. Even though her hand was stepped on, she gritted her teeth and refused to let go. "County Lady, I am also a person, an independent person. I don't want to be a substitute for others. I believe that the county lady doesn't want someone to use your shadow to fantasize about something dirty and be imprisoned in a dark corner."

Gu Li stopped Lan Yu who was about to attack again, "It was the prince who brought you into the palace, how can I save you?"

This woman with the same name was different from other women. In an era where there were clear distinctions between superiors and subordinates, she had the courage and guts to defy class.

She was trying to fight back, but for a little girl like her, such behavior was like an ant trying to shake a tree in that era of clear class divisions.

"You can, County Lady. As long as you can help me, I promise that I will never let the prince find me again in the future."

"Oh? Then why didn't you run away before entering the mansion?"

"We, we escaped, but we couldn't get away."

"Then how do you know I can help you?" If she wanted to leave, wouldn't the fastest way be to go find the Princess?

I believe that as long as she tells Zhang Jinwei that she wants to leave, Zhang Jinwei will be happy to see it happen.

The woman gritted her teeth and asked, "Can the county lady let them leave first?"

"County Lady, don't listen to her."

"Miss!" Bai Shuang was anxious and called out the old title.

"All of you step back!" From the very beginning, she did not see any malice in this woman. Instead, she understood the determination to die and the faint desire to survive in her eyes.

"I, I want something that is imbued with dragon energy." She tried it before, but even the prince didn't have such a treasure, let alone the princess.

Gu Li narrowed her eyes. The emperor called it a real dragon. She wanted something that was stained with dragon energy. She wanted something that belonged to the emperor!

The woman tried to explain anxiously, "I'm really not a bad person. Only a treasure with dragon energy can send me back to my original place. I really just want to go home, County Lady, you believe me. You can send someone to monitor me, I----"

"You and your sister both come from far away places?"

"Yes."

"Will she leave with you?"

"Yes, I will take my sister away from here and make sure the prince can never find us again."

Gu Li straightened up and distanced herself from her, "Okay, I got it!"

I wondered if Liu Bojiao's vigilance had been eaten by a dog. Why didn't he think of exchanging secret signals with the two sisters?

Gu Li is sure, one on one is accurate!

On the way back, Gu Li kept thinking about what the woman said and what kind of feelings Liu Baijiao had for her.

She guessed that woman wouldn't lie.

Oh, belated affection is cheaper than grass.

I guess Liu Bojiao didn't have any deep feelings for me. At most, I felt a sense of loss of control when something that I had expected to belong to me suddenly became someone else's.

Otherwise, why didn’t Liu Baijiao take a second look at Gu Li who was confined to the backyard in his previous life?

After knowing Liu Baijiao's shameful and disgusting behavior, Gu Li didn't want to stay in the palace any longer.

But she still had things to finish.

All she lacked was the woman who dealt her the final fatal blow in her previous life.

Now, this pair of sisters with the surname Gu had never appeared in her previous life. As long as they did not affect her, she was willing to send them back to their original world.

Wanting the emperor's personal belongings might be harder than climbing to the sky for others, but Gu Li happened to have them.

After exiting the Moon Gate of the West Garden, Lan Yu moved closer and whispered, "County Lady, someone was following us just now."

"now what?"

"No more following."

"When did you find out?" Gu Li continued walking towards the East Garden without stopping.

"We have been following since we came out of the pavilion. I thought the princess had sent someone to escort us, but -"

However, when a maid appeared in the West Garden and blocked the way, the people behind her just hid aside and watched, and did not stand up to control the servants.

The atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival suddenly disappeared.

This Zhang Jinwei wants to pull her into the game.

I just don't know whether she wants to use me to get rid of the Gu sisters, or to reveal Liu Bojiao's dirty side to me.

"Don't worry about it for now."

When Gu Li returned, she found the dragon-shaped jade pendant bestowed by the emperor, and told Lan Yu and others to send it to the Gu sisters along with the return gift when they sent the rice dumplings from Xiyuan.

After getting the jade pendant, the elder sister of the Gu family ran to find her younger sister, but her younger sister hesitated and didn't want to leave now.

The sisters had a big quarrel and parted on bad terms.

In a moment, a faint light flashed in the sky above the West Garden of the Prince's Mansion, and disappeared so quickly that people could not even see it.

At night, Liu Baijiao, who was returning home from a banquet, could not find his sister Gu Li anywhere, while his sister Gu Di remained silent.

She was obviously prettier than her sister, but the prince liked her sister more and went to her room almost every night. Almost everything she wore and put on her head was shared with her by her sister.

But she didn't want to share a man with her sister.

After seeing the new world brought by imperial power, Gu Di couldn't wait to go home.

It’s just right that my sister left. The prince will be able to see her from now on.

To Gu Di's disappointment, the prince made the whole Prince's Mansion sleepless at night but did not give up looking for his sister. The only time he looked at her was to ask about her sister's whereabouts.

She just shook her head and said nothing, refusing to say that her sister had returned to their original world.

After checking several times, no one was able to take the person away from the West Garden without being noticed. Liu Baijiao finally turned his attention to the main courtyard.

He rushed into Zhang Jinwei's yard, furious, smashing everything he could, and asking her where she had hidden the person, or whether he had been killed by this vicious woman again.

There was chaos in the West Garden, while there was silence in the East Garden.

After listening to the noise in Xiyuan, Gu Li fell into a comfortable sleep.

I wonder if Zhang Jinwei regretted inviting her to Xiyuan to cruise around the lake and enjoy the flowers today!

The next day, the servants in the East Garden got busy as the master woke up early. When Gu Li left, the West Garden was still dead silent.

The prince made a fuss at the princess's place the entire night. When it was almost dawn, the prince could no longer hold on and was helped by his servants to go back and rest.

Now the master and the servants are all sleepy.

Gu Li didn't even bother to take a look and went out with Lan Zhu and Lan Yu.

She made an appointment with Chu Yansheng to meet at Jinyu Tower today.

Chu Yansheng was very happy. They had just met yesterday and he thought it would take several days before they would meet again. Who knew there would be such a good thing?

Jinyuluo does not sell gold and jade, but is a newly opened teahouse. Not many people come here to drink tea and have breakfast early in the morning.

Chu Yansheng sat by the window in the largest private room on the second floor, his heart full as if he had eaten a few plates of Gaoqiaosong salty pancakes made by Chef Jiang from the imperial kitchen.

The county lady took the initiative to ask him to meet.

As soon as the carriage from the Prince's Mansion turned the corner, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and prepared to go downstairs to greet them.
