The people around were in an uproar and looked at each other in blank dismay.

What's the matter? !

A daughter-in-law of the Zeng family jumped out and said over and over that the second girl of the Gu family was her younger sister!

This is too ridiculous!

Zeng Ya watched this scene with great interest, casually put the incense ball in her hand into her sleeve, raised her chin slightly, and looked down at Gu Yanfei who was sitting on the bench with a look of contempt.

She had met Gu Yanfei before, in Huaibei, Xuzhou, just two years ago.

Once, she went to Zhuangzi in the countryside to live and play with several younger sisters. Her third younger sister was almost bitten by a poisonous snake. The dead snake was gone, and it was said that it was going to be grilled snake meat.

It's been two years, and Zeng Ya had long forgotten about this incident, besides, Gu Yanfei's current appearance is very different from the one in Huaibei two years ago, as if she was a different person.

Therefore, Zeng Ya didn't recognize her at first, and she only remembered it when she went for an outing with a few close friends not long ago, met a snake on the mountain by chance, and shared the past with her handkerchief.

At first, Zeng Ya wasn't sure, always wondering if she had made a mistake.

For this reason, she made a special inquiry and found out that Gu Yanfei's background was unknown, and the Gu family only claimed that their second daughter was raised in their hometown in the countryside.

Zeng Ya had a faint guess in her heart——

Gu Yanfei is that wild girl from Huaibei countryside!

It's ridiculous that an incomparably lowly wild girl wants to become the eldest concubine when she turns around!

Zeng Ya sneered in her heart, but with an unbelievable expression on her face, she said to herself, "Sister? How is this possible!"

Zeng Ya frowned, and yelled at Li Zhaodi: "What nonsense are you talking about! Miss Gu Er is the younger sister of Gu Qianhu, the dignified Jinwu Guard, how could she be your younger sister!"

Her voice was gentle yet stern.

Li Zhaodi was startled, her sallow face flushed red, she was afraid that Zeng Ya would get angry, she quickly pointed to Gu Yanfei who was on the bench and explained: "Miss, she is really Li Erya, the slave girl's younger sister."

Her pupils were flickering, and all kinds of thoughts crossed in her mind, which was like a mess.

In the end, she gritted her teeth fiercely, and the surging malice overwhelmed everything in an instant.

She resolutely said: "Erya and Numaid grew up together in Huaibei, and the family even engaged her, but she suddenly disappeared last year. Before today, Numai thought she was abducted by Ren Yazi... Or, something unexpected happened."

While talking, Li Zhaodi's eyes were filled with tears, she took a step closer to Gu Yanfei, and said mournfully, "Ah, you are well, why don't you send a letter back? Father and grandmother are very worried about you , Grandma was seriously ill."

Li Zhaodi looked like a good sister, with worries, heartache, and grievances on her face.

Li Zhaodi felt as if something was blocked in her throat, two lines of tears slowly shed from the corners of her eyes, and the jealousy in her heart burned her.

Compared with her real younger sister Gu Yunxie, in fact, the person she is more jealous of is Li Erya who grew up with her.

In the past, Li Erya was so humble at home. Every day, the cock crowed and she rested in the middle of the night. She was as busy as a spinning top. Wrong, I was beaten and scolded by my father every day; if I and my younger brother made any mistakes, as long as I said it was Erya's fault, my grandmother and father would teach Erya a lesson...

Erya is the dust on the ground that anyone in the family can call and order, and anyone can step on.

But now, everything has changed!

After Li Zhaodi came to the capital, she once inquired about Erya's current news, and knew that she is now the second daughter of the Gu family. Even if the Gu family has lost their title, she is still a wealthy family. contacts.

She also had a new name - Gu Yanfei; while she was called Zhaodi, a vulgar name.

She flew to the clouds and became a nobleman envied by everyone; but she herself became a poor widow.

The fate of her and Erya has changed drastically.

Just thinking about it, Li Zhaodi felt even more uncomfortable.

It shouldn't be like this, they all grew up in Huaibei, they are all sisters of the same family, why should she be the only one sunk in the mire, being called around, drank and belittled by others.

How could that humble Erya have a better life than her... No, it shouldn't be like this!

Erya should have had a worse life than herself!

When Li Zhaodi spoke to Zeng Ya, he didn't deliberately lower the volume, and those who were close to him could hear them clearly.

Gu Yanfei was the focus of everyone's attention today, and all of a sudden, more and more eyes rushed towards her, and everyone's expression was full of surprise.

The second girl Gu has already engaged in Huaibei? !

The servant dressed up by this daughter-in-law is her sister?

How is this possible!

Everyone couldn't believe it, their eyes became subtle and complicated, and they fell on Gu Yanfei like spikes.

If all this is true, then today the emperor personally presided over the ceremony for Gu Yanfei, it would be a joke!

How happy the emperor is today, and how thunderous and furious he will be when he knows the truth!

Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't speak for a long time, the lakeside was silent for a while, even the sound of the wind seemed to have stopped, and the surrounding was surprisingly quiet.

Gu Yanfei raised her willow eyebrows, looked back and forth between Li Zhaodi and Zeng Ya with a calm expression, and even raised the corners of her lips in a half-smile.

Zeng Ya stared at Gu Yanfei firmly.

She thought she would see shock and embarrassment on the other person's face, but Gu Yanfei was smiling instead, with a trace of interest faintly revealing in the smile.

"Which family's servant is talking nonsense here?" Gu Yunzhen's gentle voice broke the short silence.

Holding her skirt, Gu Yunzhen walked over in a hurry, her breathing was a little short due to trotting, but her eyes were extraordinarily bright and firm.

Her pretty face was full of anger, and her eyes fell on Li Zhaodi's face, trying to find similarities with Gu Yunxie from her facial features.

Although his heart was in a state of confusion, Gu Yunzhen didn't show his face, and yelled at Li Zhaodi righteously: "Where is this place, and what are you, you really have the guts to dare to cry and talk nonsense here There are no rules, no etiquette!"

Gu Yunzhen's words not only scolded Li Zhaodi, but also scolded the Zeng family.

Unlike Wei Jiaoniang and the others, Gu Yunzhen's tone of voice was very gentle, elegant, and restrained, but he didn't show Zeng Ya any mercy.

"Which family is so disrespectful? If you bring this kind of unruly and disrespectful servant to Yuqian, aren't you afraid that you will be disrespectful?!" Gu Yunzhen asked repeatedly, but his gaze fell on Zeng Ya's face.

"..." Zeng Ya was so angry that several veins appeared on her forehead.

If she directly said that Li Zhaodi was a servant of her family, it would be tantamount to admitting that the Zeng family had no dignity!

Li Zhaodi's actions today are indeed inappropriate. The servants of other families dared to speak such nonsense in front of so many nobles, and they were beaten by the master long ago. In their Zeng family, such servants would only be dragged down and beaten to death. A straw mat hastily wrapped the body and threw it into a mass grave.

Gu Yunzhen put himself up with just a few words. What the slaves do also represent the face of the master's family. If he doesn't say anything today, other people will question the etiquette of their Zeng family in the future.

A mere Li Zhaodi is naturally inferior to the face of the Zeng family!

"Zhaodi, don't talk nonsense!" Zeng Ya's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, and the line of her jaw was tense, "Kneel down!"

Her tone was a little more stern, and her eyes were even more stern.

Li Zhaodi shrank, bit her lower lip hard, almost bleeding from the bite.

She couldn't help but timidly looked around at the crowd. All the young men and girls in fine clothes looked at her with contempt and contempt.

There is no trace of sympathy and pity, and no one will intercede for her.

Li Zhaodi's eyes finally fell on Gu Yanfei's face, and she put her last glimmer of hope on her.

However, Gu Yanfei just looked at her quietly, with indifferent eyes as if looking at a stranger.

Li Zhaodi felt that her heart was being crushed by a boulder and she couldn't breathe. Holding her skirt, she knelt down on her knees with great difficulty.

It was not the first time for her to kneel. With her status, she didn't know how many people kneeled before, and kneeling was nothing at all, but she had never imagined that kneeling was so difficult today.

It made her feel that it was not Zeng Ya who knelt down, but Gu Yanfei.

At this moment, Li Zhaodi's mind recalled the scene when Erya knelt on the ground and was beaten by her father when she was a child... It was like yesterday.

Li Zhaodi lowered her head, with an evil fire burning in her heart, under her half-down eyelashes, her eyes were red, with strong hatred and jealousy hidden in them.

Why! Why should Erya, who can step on anyone, be kneeled by her!

"This is Miss Zeng." Gu Yunzhen looked at Zeng Ya knowingly and sighed.

She was still angry, smiled slightly, and said in a neutral tone: "So this is a servant of your mansion."

"Miss Zeng, this is not your servant, is it?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Gu Yunzhen continued on his own: "Miss Zeng, kindness is a good thing, but this kindness is too soft, even slaves can't be disciplined well, maybe someday it will bring disaster to your family!"

Gu Yunzhen stood up straight, like a clump of orchids in an empty valley, and his voice was neither soft nor loud, but the boys and girls around could hear it just right.

The gentle voice has a strength that is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

Zeng Ya's face was hot, and her chest heaved slightly.

At this moment, she felt that everyone around her seemed to be looking at her, and their gazes pierced her face like knives, like guessing, mocking, suspicious, questioning...

For Zeng Ya, these gazes made her more uncomfortable than Wei Jiaoniang's rude scolding.

A gloomy light flashed across Zeng Ya's eyes.

In the past, this eldest girl Gu was always gentle and gentle. She only knew that there were two girls and three girls in the Gu family, so she ignored this girl.

After the initial confusion, Zeng Ya quickly calmed down.

She showed an annoyed expression, bit her lower lip, and said apologetically, "Miss Gu, I have already asked Zhao Di to kneel down and confess her mistake to you. If you still think it's not enough, how about I punish her by slapping her mouth again?"

With a gentle and forbearing demeanor, she turned the problem back to Gu Yunzhen and put herself in a disadvantaged position.

Speaking of this, if Gu Yunzhen still refuses to give up, then it is Gu Yunzhen who insists on punishing Li Zhaodi, and it is Gu Yunzhen who is aggressive and unreasonable.

Especially since this is the Royal Palace, so many pairs of eyes are watching.

Li Zhaodi, who was kneeling on the ground, was frightened, her face turned pale and panicked.

Although she entered the Zeng Mansion not long ago, she also knew that the Zeng Mansion had strict rules and regulations. Once a servant violated the rules and was severely slapped fifty times. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and even a tooth was knocked out.

Li Zhaodi said in fear: "Girl, please forgive me, this servant did not lie..."

"Snapped!"

A maidservant in Tsing Yi strode forward and slapped Li Zhaodi's face heavily, and also knocked out the rest of her unfinished words.

A bright red palm print quickly appeared on Li Zhaodi's face, and her cheeks were also swollen.

Li Zhaodi was dumbfounded.

Zeng Ya was going crazy, she blurted out to Wei Jiaoniang, "Wei Jiaoniang, why did you hit someone?!"

The maid in Tsing Yi who slapped Li Zhaodi just now was Wei Jiaoniang's maid.

"Ha!" Wei Jiaoniang sneered contemptuously, and asked back, "Miss Zeng, didn't you ask us to beat you?!"

"..." Zeng Ya was speechless for a moment, her face was tinged with blue, and she almost dropped the round fan in her hand.

People are in different positions, so what they can do is naturally different. Gu Yunzhen has only a widowed mother in her family. She can't be aggressive, but Wei Jiaoniang can.

Wei Jiaoniang raised her chin slightly, and looked at Zeng Ya with a half-smile, with a confident look on her face.

It's just a servant of the Zeng family, and she speaks without words, so she hits her as soon as she hits her, what else can she do!

incredible! Lu Qin almost didn't laugh, and suppressed the urge to applaud Wei Jiaoniang.

Li Zhaodi covered her red and swollen face, her hair was disheveled, and said in a low voice: "This servant really..."

The maidservant in green raised her hand high, and Li Zhaodi immediately shut her mouth, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Wei Jiaoniang laughed, and Gu Yun stared at Zeng Ya with a half-smile.

All eyes around were fixed on Zeng Ya.

Zeng Ya had mixed feelings in her heart, all kinds of feelings mixed together, rolling and rolling, weighing the pros and cons, after a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Zhaodi, you step back."

Li Zhaodi didn't want to quit, she still had a lot to say, she wished everyone here knew about Erya's miserable past.

But……

She timidly glanced at the maidservant in Tsing Yi again, her body trembled again, she only felt the left side of her cheek was numb and sore from the beating, and her mouth smelled salty.

If she continued talking, she would only get slapped in the face again, and Zeng Ya couldn't keep her at all.

Li Zhaodi covered her face and stood up, bowed her head, and left silently.

After walking a few feet away, Li Zhaodi couldn't help but turned her head and glanced at Gu Yanfei who was sitting on the bench, her eyes were venomous.

Zeng Ya was also looking at Gu Yanfei, rubbing her slender index finger repeatedly on the handle of the round fan.

Gu Yanfei's face is still very calm. From the moment Li Zhaodi appeared, she has never lost her composure. She has always been like this. Can't see through, can't figure out.

Li Zhaodi was pushed by the mother-in-law of the Zeng family, and she didn't dare to stay any longer, so she hurried away.

The others didn't care about Li Zhaodi's going or staying at all, their attention was all on Gu Yanfei and Zeng Ya.

Zeng Ya secretly gritted her teeth, her eyes were cloudy, and said politely to Gu Yanfei: "Miss Gu, it's all my servants who are rude."

Tang Jinyun and several other aristocratic women next to her all stared at Zeng Ya with complicated expressions and burning eyes.

They all wanted to ask Zeng Ya, what happened to her servant named Zhaodi?

Judging from the emperor's attitude today, Gu Yanfei will most likely be the eldest prince's concubine. After Gu Ce overturns the case, the emperor will marry the eldest prince and Gu Yanfei in a grand manner.

Just now the daughter-in-law of the Zeng family said that Gu Yanfei is her younger sister, and she has been engaged to her for a long time. Is this true?

The crowd started to commotion and looked at each other.

For everyone present, the origin of the second girl from the Gu family was a mystery, and she just appeared in the capital in the second half of last year.

Since she returned to Beijing, her life has been full of glory, and even the future Concubine Kang Gu Yunxie has been overwhelmed by her.

Before arriving in the capital, no one knew about her. Her life in the past fourteen years was a mystery, as if this person was born out of thin air.

It is inevitable that people feel that there is something strange behind this.

If what the servant of the Zeng family said just now is true...

Tang Jinyun and the other girls had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and they waited and watched.
