Mrs. An Guogong was thrown to the ground by Gu Shiyao and sprained her waist. She no longer cared about continuing to interrogate Gu Shichu.
When An Guogong came back and learned about his daughter's embarrassing scandal in the Qiyang Marquis Mansion, he became furious and scolded Gu Shi Yao severely. He almost sent Gu Shi Yao back to his ancestral home to hide from the limelight. In the end, it was the Zhou family that The beloved daughter earnestly persuaded her husband for a long time before Gu Shi Yao could stay.
However, in ancient times, Yao was still banned, forced to kneel in the ancestral hall, and was invited back to teach the rules again.
The Marquis of Qi Yang and his eldest son Ming Xun came directly to divorce An Guo Gong the next day. An Guo Gong was wronged and knew that his daughter was responsible for it. It was Yao Xian who had planned Ming Xun in ancient times and caused this disaster. He didn't even think about pursuing it. However, he had no choice but to reluctantly agree to let the two break off their engagement.
It didn't take long for Gu Shichu to find out about this. She expected that Mingxun would break off the engagement with Gu Shiyao. After all, what man could tolerate knowing that his fiancée wanted to frame him and his future sister-in-law? What's more, he doesn't love this fiancée at all.
Gu Shi Yao failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice, and her plot against Ming Xun and Gu Shi Chu failed, and she also ruined her reputation. Now the well-matched young men in the capital will not consider marrying her, even if she has a high-ranking father. .
Gu Shiyao was a blessing in disguise. After all, this way she and Tang Buqing would be more likely to get together. At first, Gu Shiyao realized that she was ruined and couldn't accept it like a bolt from the blue, but after a day, she understood that she Although I lost my reputation this time, I also lost many constraints. I could propose to my parents to marry Tang Buqing, who was born in a poor family!
So Gu Shi Yao turned from sadness to joy, and when she knelt in the ancestral hall, she had already begun to think about how to tell her mother about Tang Buqing.
Gu Shichu was questioned by Gu Taoxing about Gu Shiyao, because Gu Shiyao and Zhou had always said that she was suspected of framed their cousin, Gu Shichu said his story again, Gu Shichu Tao Xing is a very chauvinistic man. He doesn't think that a small and weak woman in ancient times could have the ability to scheme against his own daughter in the strange Qiyang Marquis Mansion without showing any trace, so he doesn't doubt the ancients at all. At first, when he came to ask her for questioning, it was just a perfunctory way to deal with Mr. Zhou.
So Gu Shichu succeeded in getting out of this dirty business, and all suspicions fell on the people of the Qiyang Marquis Mansion.
"Miss, where are we going?" Zhiqiu lifted the car curtain and looked out, "Furong Restaurant is the most prosperous restaurant in Beijing now. It is said that the hibiscus pork knuckle is the most famous. Many gourmets go there every day and wait to order it. Why don’t we go there?”
"Okay, I'd like to go see if it's really so delicious." Gu Shichu suddenly became interested.
The carriage soon stopped at the entrance of Furong Building. Gu Shichu got off the carriage and walked in. He saw that the lobby was almost full of people. It was very lively and the waiters were running back and forth between the tables. It's so busy that it is indeed the most prosperous restaurant in Beijing nowadays.
Fortunately, Gu Shichu came in time. Although the private room upstairs was gone, there was still an empty table in the corner of the lobby.
Although she lived in the Duke's Mansion in ancient times, she was just a transparent person, so no one except her family and relatives knew her. When she went out, she didn't look like a lady at all, so she pretended to be very calm. The lady, who was a commoner, sat at the last table in a generous manner.
Zhiqiu immediately cleverly ordered several of her favorite dishes, including the famous hibiscus pork knuckle.
"Oh, you two girls are really lucky. Our restaurant happens to have the last pig's knuckle left. If you came a little late, you wouldn't be able to eat it, but you happened to be stuck at this last moment. This means that the girls have a fate with our restaurant. Ah, I have to come here a few more times in the future..." The waiter's mouth was very sweet.
"Then it depends on whether the food here is really delicious. If it is delicious, we will naturally come back in the future." Gu Shichu said.
"Absolutely delicious! Guests, you can tell by looking at our lobby. How can we have so many customers if the food is not delicious?" the waiter said proudly, pointing to the guests in the hall.
Gu Shichu didn't have to wait long, and a few dishes were quickly served. She tasted them and found that the most popular restaurant was really capable. So far, these dishes were all in line with her appetite.
It was just that the hibiscus pork knuckle she was most looking forward to had not yet been served. She was about to urge it when she suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the door: "I want this last dish, hibiscus pork knuckle! Which customer ordered it? I Just pay him a few times more for the food!"
"This...you have to ask the guests first. You can't make the final decision..." the waiter said with a smile.
"Who is the guest? Lead the way!" The arrogant and cool male voice said again.
Gu Shichu's face turned cold, someone actually wanted to steal his food? !
Sure enough, soon the waiter came over with the man who wanted to steal her food.
Gu Zicchu looked up and saw that he was actually an acquaintance. Not long ago, he had teamed up with him to deceive others.
"Is it you?" Ming Xun was also very surprised when he saw Gu Shichu, but his surprise only lasted for a moment. Soon he confidently said to Gu Shichu, "I want this hibiscus pig's knuckle, give it to me. I’ll pay you ten times the food price!”
"No! I'm here just for this dish. I won't give up any money you give me." Gu Shichu shook his head very firmly.
"One thousand taels of silver! In addition, I also treated you to this meal!" Mingxun thought she thought the money was too small, so he frowned and increased the price, "This is a lot of money, don't go too far."
"Humph, are you deaf? Didn't you hear me saying that I won't give you any money?" Gu Shichu said with a sneer.
"Gu San, are you sure you really don't want to give it to me?" Mingxun narrowed his eyes, suddenly slapped her on the table, and said viciously, "Dare you offend me? Did you forget that you were in my house before?" Are those dirty things happening?"
"You said it happened in your house, what does it have to do with me?" Gu Shichu sneered.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll spread the word that you were the one who went out to frame your sister?" Mingxun lowered his voice and threatened her.
"Just say it and see how many people believe it." Gu Shichu raised his eyelids and said sarcastically.
Ming Xun suddenly choked, and realized that few people would believe that it was her handiwork, and he had no evidence yet. Others would only think that she was a poor cannon fodder who was pushed out to take the blame, and maybe they would sympathize with her.
Mingxun didn't expect that he would be suppressed by such a small woman, and he felt even more aggrieved. He resorted to his biggest move: "Aren't you afraid that I will retaliate against you? You are an orphan with no father and mother, and you are married to Mr. An Guogong." The relationship is also average, right? If I deal with you, will they be willing to seek justice for you? "
