Chapter 471 The Female Supporting Character Who Was Reborn as a Female Cannon Fodder 16
"You little girl, you are jealous of your cousin."
The atmosphere relaxed for a moment. At this time, a maid came in from outside and bowed:
"Madam, the third young lady and the young master are back. They are now outside the courtyard and are about to come over to pay their respects to you, Madam."
When Gu heard this, her heart flew away. Tang'er and the others were back.
The old lady was unhappy at first, but when she heard that her granddaughter and grandson had returned, her anger subsided a little and she spoke immediately.
"Hurry, let them in. Brother Heng has been gone for more than two months. I haven't seen Tang'er in a long time."
Although the old lady did not love her third granddaughter as much as she did Gu Yuexi, she was a twin boy and girl after all, so she was very precious to her.
At this time, outside the house, Sheng Huan touched Gu Jingheng's head and whispered something.
Gu Jingheng nodded and held the plum blossom tightly.
After they entered the house, Gu Jingheng rushed towards the old lady holding Meihua.
"Grandma, my third sister and I are here to pay our respects to you. Here are the plum blossoms and small lanterns that my third sister and I brought back from the farm. I hope you like them."
The old lady burst into laughter, hugged Sheng Huan and Gu Jingheng and shouted: "Oh, grandma's brother Heng Tang'er is so filial that he even sent flowers to grandma."
Gu looked at her daughter and son, and was relieved to see that they were both fine.
The whole house suddenly became lively.
Gu Yuexue, who was sitting quietly in the back seat, smiled sincerely when she saw Sheng Huan. Now that her third sister was back, she could attend the plum blossom viewing banquet hosted by Princess Chaoyin in a few days. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time to keep pretending to be sick. Besides, she hadn't seen Wang Yeling for a long time.
Gu Yuexue looked at Gu Yuexi who was standing aside with a dignified expression. She didn't know what had happened. Her elder sister seemed a little strange recently.
My aunt-in-law is a person who knows how to read people's faces. She immediately envied the old lady and said, "This is Tang'er and Heng brother. My sister is so lucky."
The old lady was cheerful all the time, introducing: "Tang'er, Brother Heng, this is your aunt, this is your aunt's granddaughter Lin Qingrui, Tang'er's cousin and Brother Heng's cousin."
"Auntie."
"Cousin."
When the few people greeted each other, Sheng Huan glanced at Lin Qingrui. Lin Qingrui had delicate features, but a very dignified temperament, and was almost the same type as Gu Yuexi.
Thinking back to the original novel, the reborn heroine, in order to bring down the Gu family and also to have someone in the Gu family, teamed up with Lin Qingrui and successfully made Lin Qingrui marry the original owner's second brother Gu Jingmo. She even got hold of Lin Qingrui's handle because of this, killing three birds with one stone.
Sheng Huan felt that Gu Yuexi was really ruthless after his rebirth.
Feeling a hateful gaze, she suddenly looked back.
Gu Yuexi was startled. She pinched her thigh tightly to prevent herself from losing composure, and forced a smile on her face.
Sheng Huan smiled back and looked away again. It seemed that the heroine's mental quality was still not very good.
Seeing that Sheng Huan was no longer looking at her, Gu Yuexi lowered her eyes.
These days, she finally found Pei Jin's whereabouts, but Pei Jin had been concentrating on studying at home and had not gone out. He was not sick or in any condition, so she could not get close to him.
This made her very anxious. Was it possible that only her third sister could meet Pei Jin?

After paying her respects, Gu took Sheng Huan and Gu Jingheng back to Linfeng Garden.
"You're finally back." Gu held Sheng Huan's hand, which was still a little cold. She felt secretly worried, but she didn't show it: "How come you two siblings came back together? Where are Brother Guan and Brother Zhou?"
"Cousin Guan and the others have returned home." Sheng Huan said.
Gu Jingheng also spoke excitedly: "Mother, my cousin Guan and I arrived in the suburbs yesterday afternoon. My cousin Guan said that the road was difficult to walk at night, so I told her that mother had a farm in the suburbs. When I went there, I found out that my sister was also in the farm."
Gu was surprised:: "This is really a coincidence."
"Mother, my sister and I brought you gifts." Gu Jingheng glanced at Sheng Huan and scratched his head.
Gu looked at her daughter, then at her son: "What is it?"
Gu Jingheng raised his head proudly: "My sister and I folded the plum blossoms by hand, and my sister also made the small lanterns. Mother, the things we gave you were made by us, and the things for others were made by servants."
As they were talking, Mrs. Xu and Ji Le and others came in with things.
Gu's heart was filled with sweetness, and now that she saw the real thing, she smiled even more: "You guys, mother likes you very much."
-
Sheng Huan didn't stay in Linfeng Garden for long. After delivering the gifts, she went back to Yuhua Garden to rest. After she returned, she instructed the servants to deliver plum blossoms to other masters in the mansion.
Qingzhi Garden.
Gu Yuexue was in a good mood. She told Dongyun: "Please keep the plum blossoms sent by the third sister. Don't let them wither."
Dongyun was also very happy and started to find a vase to put the flowers in. Gu Yuexue accidentally saw the condition of the vase and her face immediately darkened.
She could see clearly that the lady was obviously resentful of her because of the incident when her third sister fell into the water last time. On the surface, her regular treatment remained unchanged, but secretly she was miserable. The most terrible thing was that she couldn't find any fault with the lady.
Dongmei handed over a cup of hot tea: "Miss, the day after tomorrow is the plum blossom viewing banquet." She lowered her voice: "Now that the third young lady is back, you can also go out of the house to attend the banquet."
Gu Yuexue did not take the tea. Instead, she touched the new handkerchief she had made on the table with a strange smile in her eyes.
"I do have to go to the banquet. Dongmei, tell me, is Prince Wang happy to see me, or is my elder sister happy..."
Gu Yuexue now felt that it didn't matter whether Wang Yeling married the eldest sister or the third sister in the end. At this moment, she only needed to hold his heart. When the original wife died, she could be the second wife.
If it were Gu Yuetang, Madam would definitely be in great pain at that time.
In the past, she was obsessed with appearances.
-
This side of Yuhuayuan.
Sheng Huan was eating when Ji Le brought in the post.
"Miss, Madam sent over a letter from Princess Chaoyin, saying that the Princess's residence will hold a plum blossom viewing banquet the day after tomorrow."
Sheng Huan's eyes flickered when he heard that. This banquet was perfect, Gu Yuexue would definitely attend, so she should stop thinking of flirting with Wang Yeling under her name.
A faint light flashed across Sheng Huan's eyes, because of her, she was going to be exposed.
"I know, leave it alone."
-
Yayou Pavilion, the guest room of the Shangshu Mansion.
As wisps of sandalwood burned, Lin Qingrui's suppressed crying could be heard from the room.
"Grandma, you saw today that my cousin doesn't like me. She even made excuses in front of my great aunt. She will definitely not let me marry my cousin Mo."
Lin Qingrui felt very aggrieved. When her grandfather was exiled to the place, she was a sought-after person because her grandfather was the prefect. Many local wealthy families wanted to propose marriage to her. But now that she came to the capital, she was always left out at several banquets. How could she bear this gap?
"No." The uncle said firmly: "Your great-aunt is the elder. If the elder acts as a matchmaker, Gu can still resist. If she resists, it would be unfilial!"
My aunt continued: "Your great aunt will not sit idly by and watch our Lin family decline."
As for the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion, Gu Jingyou, he was just a concubine's son, so his uncle-in-law looked down on him. The legitimate daughter of their Lin family should naturally be paired with the legitimate son.
Lin Qingrui's crying finally stopped.
