Chapter 475 The Female Supporting Character Who Was Reborn as a Female Cannon Fodder 20
Di Chengyu was a little absent-minded, but no one noticed his absence. They only felt that he seemed to have become a little cold and aloof, as if strangers were not allowed to approach him. He nodded and strode away in the snow.
Sheng Huan looked at his back. He was tall and strong. He should be about 1.9 meters tall. No wonder he was so tall.
There was a soft halo falling on her face, bringing out a hint of elegant softness, like sunlight through a filter.
Since she wanted to find someone who loved her, Sheng Huan decided in her heart, why not find the person who stood at the top of the world.
"Miss, you are here to change your clothes, please follow me."
At this time, a female voice sounded next to her, and her footsteps were very light.
"Yeah." Sheng Huan looked over and knew at a glance that this man knew martial arts. She nodded: "But my clothes should not have been delivered."
"Young lady, please wait in the hall first. It's cold outside."
Sheng Huan nodded and followed him in. Once inside, she found that the entire palace was very warm and everything around was incredibly exquisite. It didn't look like a place for women to change clothes, but she didn't ask.
The palace maid who led the way lowered her head. Even though the hem of the black cloak she was walking through was very long and almost dragged on the ground, she didn't seem to notice anything unusual.
-
It was not until the clothes were delivered that Sheng Huan noticed the cloak he was wearing.
Seeing that she was in a daze, the maid respectfully said, "Young lady, just give me this cloak. I will return it to you, young master."
It was obvious that this cloak was not for women, and it was not suitable for Sheng Huan to wear. The palace maid had not known about it before, but now she could not just ignore it.
Sheng Huan looked at her and hesitated: "You are his."
"I swear to be loyal to you till death... Sir."
The implication was that she shouldn't worry about the cloak.
-
Over there, Di Chengyu was walking in the snow, standing with his hands behind his back, not knowing what he was thinking about.
[Master!] The spirit of the weapon said in his mind: [Master, you are obviously different to that girl, so don’t lie to me!]
[I secretly saw you looking at her several times today, Master, you still hugged her! You have never hugged anyone before!]
[What beauty and withered bones? They are all fake. I don’t believe them!] The spirit of the weapon yelled in his mind.
Di Chengyu stroked his fingers and looked straight ahead. He was confused for the first time, and it seemed that his fingertips still had that soft touch.
Beauty...withered bones?
-
When Sheng Huan returned to the banquet, the singing and dancing were still going on, but there was no trace of Gu at the table.
Seeing Sheng Huan's confusion, Gu Yuexi took the initiative to speak: "Mother went downstairs to change clothes."
Sheng Huan nodded and sat down.
Sitting high up in the seat, Emperor Chengyu inadvertently glanced over here, and after that glance, he never looked over here again.
Not long after Sheng Huan sat down, Gu came back. When she saw Sheng Huan, the worry in her eyes finally faded away: "When did Tang'er come back? Mother didn't see you in the dressing room just now."
Sheng Huan looked calm: "Maybe we took the wrong path."
Gu didn't think much about it: "It should be so."
-
The banquet in the palace was lively, with people eating and drinking to their heart's content and constant toasts. However, in the Glazed Garden of the Shangshu Mansion, Gu Yuexue had a high fever again.
Aunt Shi cried so hard that she almost fainted, and she quickly picked up a handkerchief to cool her down.
"Yuexue, why are you so stupid? Why do you keep ruining your body? You are tearing out my heart!"
Gu Yuexue was unconscious due to the fever, but she still held onto Aunt Shi's hand. When she saw the horrific purple marks on Aunt Shi's neck, she seemed to remember the day when she was beaten thirty times with torn skin and flesh, and was even cruelly exiled to the village by her father. Aunt Shi was afraid that she would die on the way with her injuries, so she hanged herself on the spot, just to let her stay and recover before sending her away.
As the New Year was approaching, it was not appropriate to see blood in the Shangshu Mansion. In addition, my aunt had been a trusted maid serving my grandmother, so after my grandmother asked for her help, she was finally able to continue staying in the Shangshu Mansion to recuperate. However, my father said that no matter what happened to her after the New Year, he would send her away.
Her father had always been upright and showed no mercy that day. Gu Yuexue was scared, so she could only torture herself and make herself not want to get better, and dare not get better, to make her aunt and grandmother feel distressed. Even though Gu had deliberately made things difficult for her and her aunt these days, and had withdrawn all the servants, and the food was always cold, she could not go to the countryside, because if she went, her life would be over.
"Aunt, I don't want to leave, I can't leave!" Gu Yuexue cried miserably: "I'm already a 15-year-old, if I leave, my life will be over, Aunt, please go and beg grandma, beg her, your daughter begs you!"
What could Aunt Shi do? Her last suicide had already angered the master, but this was her daughter, her only child. How could she bear to see her ruined?
Aunt Shi said with difficulty, tears welling up in her eyes: "Yuexue, tell me, considering the relationship between you and Wang Yeling, can he marry you?"
When Gu Yuexue heard this, she thought of the look Wang Yeling had given her that day, and she couldn't help trembling. However, if she was abandoned by the Shangshu Mansion, she might as well marry Wang Yeling. At least by marrying him, there would still be a way out.
But how could she meet Wang Yeling and how could she convince him?
-
On the first day of the New Year, firecrackers are heard.
It was a rare occasion for all the masters in the Shangshu Mansion to get together, enjoying the family happiness, except for Gu Yuexue.
By the middle of the drink, the atmosphere had become more tense, Sheng Huan was talking to Lin Jingheng when the old lady suddenly spoke.
"Brother Ting, mother already knows about Yuexue's matter. She was young and ignorant, so she was punished according to family rules and suffered a great punishment. I feel..."
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and you could hear a pin drop. The smile on Gu's face disappeared, and she looked like a cold arrow. If the old lady hadn't spoken up last time, how could that bad-hearted Gu Yuexue still stay in the mansion? She is trying to get even further!
Minister Gu clenched his wine glass.
Sheng Huan was speechless.
Unexpectedly, when the old lady saw that no one was talking, she actually looked at Sheng Huan: "Tang'er, although Yuexue was wrong, those things didn't happen after all, and you are fine too. For the sake of sisters..."
With a "bang", the wine glass in Minister Gu's hand smashed to the ground, and the fragments flew everywhere, scaring everyone present. The old lady looked even more panicked.
Gu held Sheng Huan's hand and patted it soothingly. Sheng Huan's eyes turned red with grievance.
"If you make a mistake, you have to bear the consequences. Mother is suppressing Tang'er and making the victim feel wronged. There is no such reason in the world!" Minister Gu said coldly: "It seems that she still does not repent and is still making trouble."
"housekeeper!"
"master."
"Send Miss Third out of the house immediately."
"Brother Ting..." The old lady stood up in surprise.
"If mother talks any more, I will no longer have this daughter!"
Minister Gu threw down these words and left with a flick of his sleeves.
