NFBE Chapter 52 Support Gu Qingqing
Chapter 52 Support Gu Qingqing
On the Lantern Festival, Su Yuan took Zhou Tao to visit Duke Li's mansion.
Cheng Lang and Gu Yu were both waiting for Su Yuan at the mansion.
They saw that there was another girl beside Su Yuan. The two looked at each other and stood there without moving.
Gu Yu secretly looked at Su Yuan and saw that Su Yuan was still the same as the last time they met, without any change. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Mother should not have been abused in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, but with her intelligence, how could she be bullied by Gu Zhiquan and others?
Thinking of this, Gu Yu pursed his lips and smiled, feeling completely relieved.
"It's a rare visit to the Marquis of Zhennan's wife." Cheng Lang sat still and spoke in a sarcastic tone.
To outsiders, they have a grudge against each other. Even if Cheng Lang is magnanimous and doesn't care about the past, he shouldn't be too polite to Su Yuan.
Zhou Tao, who was standing by, saw that Cheng Lang didn't seem to like them, and she instantly became frightened and tense.
Su Yuan smiled, and she responded sarcastically along with Cheng Lang's words.
"Your Majesty, are you not welcoming us? Has your Majesty forgotten the kindness our Li family has shown you?
Now that you are so heartless, don't you become an ungrateful person?"
Cheng Lang sneered: "Ungrateful? Why don't I remember that the wife of the Marquis of Zhennan was kind to me?"
What he said was true. The person who had done him a favor was never Su Yuan.
Not only did Su Yuan not show any kindness towards him, but she also had a grudge against him for bullying him.
However, he would not blame her for everything Su Yuan did.
Even if it was the original Su Yuan, he was too lazy to argue with her.
The two of them were full of tension. Zhou Tao, who originally wanted to behave well, didn't dare to speak, for fear that they would direct their anger towards her.
After a moment of silence, Gu Yu stood up and asked, "Madam, who is this sister?"
Su Yuan then remembered to introduce Zhou Tao to them, "This is Zhou's cousin. She is visiting our house today. I brought her here to broaden her horizons."
Zhou Tao finally had the chance to introduce herself.
She quickly stood up and saluted Cheng Lang.
"I pay my respects to the Duke." Zhou Tao was polite and well-behaved.
Cheng Lang nodded and said calmly, "Miss Zhou, there's no need to be so polite. Please stand up."
Zhou Tao returned to his seat.
Gu Yu glanced at Cheng Lang, then at Su Yuan. He walked towards Zhou Tao, invited her to go out for a walk, and introduced her to the scenery of the mansion.
Zhou Tao hesitated for a moment, but when she saw Cheng Lang with a cold face, she finally led Gu Yu out first.
Cheng Lang is not easy to deal with, maybe she can start with her adopted son Gu Yu.
As soon as the two of them left, Cheng Lang asked directly, "Did Empress Defei send you here as a lobbyist? Do you also want me to support Empress Defei?"
He didn't want to take sides, and even if he had to, he wanted to stand with the two princes of the Eastern Palace.
The eldest prince Sima Gong is not a wise ruler, and Lu Qin probably can see that.
If he had to take sides, he would support the third prince Sima You.
Although Sima You was a few years younger than Sima Gong, he was both civil and military, and was kind and generous to others. He hoped that Sima You would be the next king.
As for Sima Tu... he is only three years old this year. It will take more than ten years to know Sima Tu's character. Your Majesty doesn't even know if there is ten years left.
He would never support Sima Tu.
Su Yuan nodded helplessly, "It was indeed Her Majesty the Virtuous Consort who asked me to be the lobbyist, and I had no way of refusing."
Gu Qingqing asked her to go, so she had no choice but to obey and come to the Duke's Mansion.
However, she also didn't want Cheng Lang to support Gu Qingqing.
"So, you also want me to support Gu Qingqing?" Cheng Lang asked.
