After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 34

Gu Ying's gaze also turned cold, "On what grounds does the little marquis save her?"

Zhao Changdu's expression was emotionless, mocking, "No need for reason, saving a life is better than building a seven-tiered pagoda."

The cold wind rustled, and the snow raged.

Gu Ying tilted her head slightly, her messy hair, and suddenly her heart felt panicked, with a faint feeling of chest tightness.

Su Huanfeng's words were not wrong, but every word was still like a knife carved in her heart.

That's right, even someone like Gu Jia has someone to save her.

Then what about her?

In her previous life, when she was struggling to survive alone in this dark trap, who had ever reached out to help her?

Zhao Changdu impatiently frowned, disgusted, "Gu Ying, take your filthy hands away."

Gu Ying smiled helplessly in place, her little hand weakly removed from his cloak, her whole body filled with bitterness, in the misty vision, the man's tall figure walked towards that trap.

Her face was slightly pale, her vermilion lips slightly parted, like a fish lacking water, her jaw slightly raised, she took a few breaths of the cool snowy wind.

Think about it, it's also reasonable.

After all, in the previous life, Su Huanfeng was Gu Jia's husband, maybe between them there was some predestined relationship, so Gu Jia was in trouble tonight and somehow attracted Su Huanfeng.

But it doesn't matter, she still has plenty of opportunities.

The pits Gu Jia dug for her were more than just this one, she had plenty of opportunities to make Gu Jia suffer.

Gu Ying made up her mind. She didn't want to entangle with Su Huanfeng here. After all, he was the young marquis of the Yong'an Marquis Family, with great power and influence. Offending him would do her no good since she had ruined his treasured Wang Bow.

She restrained her mind and tried her best to calm herself down. She didn't look at Su Huanfeng again and left the lush forest.

Just after coming out of the dark, she saw Yanzhi carefully groping over from afar.

"Miss, are you alright! I watched Ming Yue for a while and took the opportunity to sneak out when she was dozing off."

Yanzhi's concerned voice rang out. Gu Ying's eyes turned moist. She threw herself into Yanzhi's arms and hugged her tightly, "Yanzhi."

The wind and snow were too cold, and people's hearts were so cruelly cold. Only the warmth of Yanzhi's body in front of her warmed her heart.

Yanzhi didn't know what to do with her little hands, gently patting her young lady's back, and asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Gu Ying's tone was a little sour. She was aggrieved after all. She wiped all her tears on the little girl's clothes. After a long time, she recovered her composure and laughed, "Nothing, I just got tricked by Gu Jia when I went out, but your young lady is smart and turned the tables on her."

"Ah?" Yanzhi looked confused.

Gu Ying chuckled and vividly told Yanzhi about Gu Jia's pit trap.

"Ptooey! The eldest young lady deserved it, it served her right!" Yanzhi spat, and grabbed her young lady's little hand somewhat frightened, "Miss, it's getting late, let's hurry to the Empress Dowager's tent, don't offend the Empress Dowager."

Gu Ying's face was calm, and she gave a cold "hmm".

The mistress and servant walked quickly along the empress dowager's camp.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of the tent. The imperial tent was naturally exceptional, luxurious and exquisite.

In front of the snowy ground at the entrance, dozens of young ladies and girls from prominent families were standing outside the curtains, accompanied by maids and servants.

Colorful glazed lanterns hung in front of the tent, the five colors spilled out, as beautiful as brocade spread on the ground woven by fairies.

Snow floated in the sky, everyone wore oilcloth umbrellas on their heads, carefully accompanied by their first-class maids, gathered in groups of three or five, fluttering sleeves, smiling and laughing.

There were girls from the Huo family, Zhang family, Li family, Zhao family... Their appearance was dazzling.

When Gu Ying first arrived, she was a little messy on her body and head.

Yanzhi had left in a hurry and forgot to bring an umbrella.

At this time, she wore a large red cloak, a pale yellow jacket, a green gauze skirt, standing lively and pretty in the wind and snow.

Large patches of snowflakes were on her hair bun, her palm-sized tender white little face was frozen red, the tip of her nose revealed a rosy color, from her cheeks to her jaw, to her slender neck, the rosy red intoxicated color. Her lips lightly dotted, disheveled sideburns did not affect her clear and unparalleled beauty at all.

From a distance, she looked like a green lotus blossoming quietly in the thick ink night.

Everyone looked at her in unison, as if they had never seen such a figure among the noble ladies in the capital.

Gu Ying raised her head calmly.

A pair of starry eyes, lacquer-like, no longer as timid and cowardly as in her previous life, but looking directly at everyone's gaze, saluting gracefully, giving everyone a standard etiquette for young ladies.

The young ladies who hadn't seen her were a little doubtful.

Which family was this beautiful girl from?

"Second sister!"

"Here!"

Gu Shuang lowered her voice and called her. Seeing her bewildered look, she hurried out from the corner, grabbed her and pulled her behind, "Second sister, didn't eldest sister go to pick you up? How come you only came now?"

Seeing her standing with Gu Shuang, Gu Wan and other Gu family women.

Everyone suddenly understood that she was the legitimate daughter of Gu's second house, the famous General Gu, with not a good reputation.

Most of the young ladies came to see the style of the Heir Apparent of Zhenguo, of course, some came to watch her make a fool of herself.

Soon there was an inappropriate buzz in the crowd.

Gu Shuang's face was a little embarrassed and awkward. After all, she was young and cared about face... This was the first time she felt uncomfortable because her sister with a bad reputation was being talked about.

Gu Ying saw her embarrassment and didn't care about the prying eyes. She smiled and took the initiative to stand farther away from her.

Gu Wan, who stood beside Gu Shuang, looked disgusted, wishing she didn't know Gu Ying, and turned her head to talk about her elder sister's disgraceful affairs in a low voice with the young ladies she usually interacted with.

Gu Ying was alone, with only a little maidservant, tidying the pine needles on her skirt, seemingly indifferent to all the sounds around her, looking pitiful and pathetic.

Gu Shuang watched from afar, feeling more and more uncomfortable, gritted her teeth, walked quickly over, and pulled her right hand, "Second sister, I didn't mean to despise you."

Gu Ying looked at her in surprise, then smiled gently, "Aren't you afraid they will ostracize you?"
