Chapter 476 The Female Supporting Character Who Was Reborn as a Female Cannon Fodder 21
In Liuli Garden, Gu Yuexue was shocked to hear the news, but no matter how unwilling she was and how much she threw a tantrum, she was still forced to leave the house.
"Auntie!" Before being dragged away, Gu Yuexue grabbed Auntie Shi's hand tightly, exerting all her strength and shaking her head frantically: "I can't leave! I'm still so young, I haven't married yet, I can't be ruined!"
"Auntie, save me!"
Aunt Shi burst into tears, looking at the pillar in the distance with a fierce look.
The housekeeper's eyelids twitched and he said in a cold voice.
"Think it over carefully, Aunt Shi. The master's patience is limited. If you do anything else, it won't be as simple as sending the Second Miss to the manor."
Aunt Shi froze.
Seeing this, the housekeeper waved his hand and asked people to separate the mother and son.
"Aunt!" Gu Yuexue collapsed. Could it be that even her aunt was going to give up on her?
Aunt Shi burst into tears. She hurriedly took off the hairpin on her head and stuffed it into Gu Yuexue's hand. She endured the heartache and said, "Yuexue, don't worry. Aunt Shi will plead with your father later. When he calms down, Aunt Shi will definitely find a way to take you back. After all, you are your father's child."
Gu Yuexue felt disheartened upon hearing this.

Yuhua Garden.
Gu followed Sheng Huan into the house. After sending the servants away, she pulled Sheng Huan to sit on the couch.
"Your grandmother has become more confused as she gets older. Fortunately, your father knows his limits." Gu's anger at the family dinner had mostly subsided: "It's just that our Tang'er has been wronged."
Gu was quite satisfied with Minister Gu's actions just now. Minister Gu had seen many prisoners and hated shielding the most. Today, the old lady's attitude was obviously to use her status to force the juniors. How could she have the nerve to do that to Tang'er, a junior.
"Mother, I am no longer wronged." Sheng Huan leaned on Gu's shoulder: "I know father still loves me."
Gu laughed: "Go to bed early, and mother will go back to see your father."
"Mom, walk slowly."
Gu left Yuhua Garden. On the way, she thought of something and the tenderness on her face gradually faded.
Mother Xu held the umbrella for her, and she was worried: "Madam, the old lady is embarrassed today, and I don't know if she will be angry with you in the future."
She paused: "As for my cousin, I see that the old lady and my aunt haven't given up yet..."
How could Gu not know this truth? She lowered her voice and gritted her teeth, saying, "I will never let Brother Mo marry a girl from the Lin family."
Just because they don't care about Brother Mo and need to concentrate on his studies right now, and want him to indulge in women, she won't let them go.

At that time, the imperial palace and the parade ground.
With a "swish" sound, three arrows were fired at the same time and hit the bull's eye.
The man in black put down his crossbow.
The chief eunuch watched from the side, not daring to say a word.
Their Majesty is truly different from emperors of previous dynasties. He is not addicted to women and is unorthodox. No one dared to say anything when he ran to the parade ground on New Year's Day. No one knows what happened yesterday, but he even punished a palace maid.
Seeing that he finally stopped, the eunuch hurriedly handed him a handkerchief.
Emperor Chengyu took it, wiped it and threw it away, then returned to Qianyuan Hall.
"master."
A hidden guard appeared silently and presented a tray.
Emperor Chengyu looked over, his eyes flickering slightly. On the tray was the black cloak he wore yesterday. The hidden guard was also the palace maid from yesterday.
"Put it back." His voice was even, "Did anything else happen in the palace yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, the secret guard did not hide anything and respectfully told Sheng Huan what she had said in the palace yesterday. Finally, she said, "Master, when the young lady heard me say that I would be loyal to you till death yesterday, she seemed to have discovered something."
Emperor Chengyu seemed to be lost in thought. He was not surprised that Little Lantern did not recognize his identity yesterday. It was because he was so unruly that he never liked to wear those bright dragon robes. Most of the clothes made by the Garment Bureau were black. He was used to it, and so were the ministers. What's more, she was obviously flustered and nervous about her hair at that time, and he was wearing a cloak, so it was understandable that she didn't pay much attention.
But after hearing what the hidden guard said, she might have guessed his identity.
Di Chengyu was distracted again, which was rare. So, what was she thinking about at that time?
-
The New Year atmosphere was strong, and every household visited relatives and paid New Year's greetings, which was busy and fulfilling. Sheng Huan had already reached the age of marriage this year, and Gu took her to look at the account books and greet guests as usual, so that she could learn more and understand more, so that she would not be flustered when she became a mistress in the future, and could keep her composure.
On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Sheng Huan and his two siblings followed Mrs. Gu and Minister Gu to their maternal grandparents' home to pay New Year's greetings.
When the carriage stopped at the general's mansion, several carriages also stopped outside.
"Master, Madam, this is the carriage from the Xingqing Marquis's residence."
There are many nobles in the capital, and there are markings on the carriages. Therefore, the coachman is very discerning and can tell at a glance and quickly inform the master in the carriage.
In the carriage opposite, Lord Xingqing and his wife had already gotten out, followed by a refined and gentle young man.
The wife of the Earl of Xingqing said happily: "I didn't expect that we would bump into each other this year. It seems that we are destined to meet each other."
Sheng Huan was in the carriage. Gu Jingheng, a six-year-old kid, couldn't sit still after the carriage stopped, and quickly lifted the curtain to look outside.
"Sister, look quickly, it's my aunt and her family. My second cousin is here too."
Sheng Huan was pulled by Gu Jingheng to look outside, muttering: "I know, I know, don't get too excited."
This kid always pulls people, he's really strong.
Gu Jingmo, who was standing aside, did not participate in this childish activity.
Over there, Gongsun Huaili was standing next to the carriage. He seemed to sense some burning gazes and looked in the direction of the sight.
Then he saw that the small car window curtain was lifted, revealing two people.
The child looked very excited, and the girl seemed helpless, whispering something, but her beautiful face was full of passion.
When Sheng Huan was pulled by his younger brother to look over, he happened to see the man's eyes nodding with a smile. There seemed to be starlight in his eyes, warm and elegant, and he looked like a gentleman.
She nodded.
Even though Gu had told Sheng Huan about her relationship with Gongsun Huaili, Sheng Huan did not feel embarrassed and everything was normal.
Lady Xingqingbo's wife, who was beside Gongsun Huaili, was still talking to her husband, expressing her feelings for each other through fate. When she turned her gaze to her son, she saw the child greeting her through the window.
She smiled, thinking of what she had said to her sister before, and said: "Huai Li, you are not busy this year, but you can meet your cousin. Let's go, it's been a long time since we last met, go say hello to your aunt and the others."
The carriage stopped and Sheng Huan got off with his younger brothers.
