Phi-Fic Chapter 127 Goodbye Guo Aotian
Chapter 127 Goodbye Guo Aotian
"Last time, she hid after breaking the Prince of Yan's arm. After that, there were rumors that General Guo had quietly returned to the city, went to the Marquis's residence and gave the Marquis a lesson, and then immediately went to the palace to see the Emperor."
"You say the emperor didn't deal with her, could it be because the general pleaded for her?"
"Who knows? But I suspect that she's here today because of the general. Maybe the general sent her a special message?"
"Yes, she came here by herself without seeing the rest of the people from the Marquis' Mansion."
"Huh? Isn't that Princess Baoling's carriage? Is she here too?"
"She will definitely come. I heard that Princess Baoling..."
"You're asking for your life! How dare you talk about her affairs?"
Zhong Ran listened to everyone's discussions and walked towards the door of the general's mansion with an expressionless face.
A servant came up to her and bowed slightly: "Miss Zhong? Please follow me."
Zhong Ran ignored the young ladies and followed the servants inside.
There was a person at the door to register the gifts. Zhong Ran handed over the gift box he had prepared and said two words lightly: "Zhong Ran."
The person registering looked up at her, was slightly startled when he saw the mark on her face, then nodded slightly and quickly registered her.
After registering, Zhong Ran continued to follow the servant inside.
Princess Baoling looked at the young ladies gathered around her, her eyes fell on the back of the person in front of her who didn't turn back, her expression was indifferent.
"Whose lady is that?"
She had just gotten off the carriage and didn't know that the person in front of her was Zhong Ran. But she saw many young ladies coming to greet her tactfully, but the other party went in without even looking back?
Moreover, there was no one else around her, not even a servant. How dare they ignore her?
Upon hearing her question, a young lady immediately whispered, "Princess Baoling, it's the disaster star of the Zhong family."
A hint of murderous intent flashed across Bao Ling's eyes, but then disappeared. She frowned and asked, "What is she doing here?"
Everyone looked at her cautiously and shook their heads slightly.
What else can you do here if not to attend the banquet?
Bao Ling didn't ask any more questions and led the way inside, but she was already thinking about how to get back at him.
Zhong Ran followed the servants into the general's mansion. The mansion was decorated festively and the servants coming and going were all smiling politely.
"Miss Zhong, shall I take you in to see the old lady first? Or would you like to go on your own first?"
Zhong Ran thought, since I'm here to celebrate a birthday, I should at least go and celebrate the old lady's birthday, right?
If something happens later, it won't be awkward to just leave.
"Let's go see the old lady first."
The servant nodded and led her to the front hall.
The hall is very large and extremely luxurious, much larger than the front hall of the marquis's mansion.
There were already many people sitting in the hall, including men, women, young and old, chatting animatedly.
Because of her coming in, the hustle and bustle inside suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked over silently.
Many people turned their heads away after taking one look at her, some showed deep thought in their eyes, and some even looked at her with disgust and cold eyes.
Zhong Ran ignored all this and looked straight at an old lady sitting at the top.
The old lady's face was full of wrinkles, her eyebrows were sharp, she was wearing a red brocade robe embroidered with the word "longevity", and a longevity necklace around her neck.
Her sharp eyes also looked her up and down, and then she frowned slightly.
"Are you the girl from the Zhong family?"
Zhong Ran walked to the middle and stopped, bowing to the leader.
"That's right. I, Zhong Ran, the junior, am here to pay my respects to the old lady. I wish her a long life and happiness as vast as the East Sea."
Madam Guo forced a smile that was uglier than crying and said, "You're so kind. I'll have someone take you out for a walk."
Zhong Ran was standing up and didn't miss the disgust in her eyes.
But it doesn't matter. She doesn't care whether these people like her or not. They just came to celebrate her birthday because they received the invitation.
"No need, I have already finished celebrating your birthday, you can leave on your own."
Having said that, she turned and left.
Everyone looked at each other, very angry at her rudeness.
No matter what, when you come to someone's house to celebrate their birthday, you shouldn't just turn around and leave like that.
However, considering that this evil star dared to kill even the King of Yan, no one said anything, but they looked at her with increasingly displeased eyes.
Guo Aotian was greeting guests on the other side. When he heard that she was coming, he hurried over here.
I happened to meet Zhong Ran outside the hall. Seeing her walking out, I quickly called her: "Ran Ran."
Zhong Ran heard someone calling her name, and the voice seemed familiar, so she couldn't help but look back.
At first glance, she recognized the man in front of her.
"It's you?"
She never imagined that the man who killed wolves in the mountains would meet him here.
"Ran Ran, long time no see."
Guo Aotian looked at her expression, which didn't seem much different from the last time they met.
But he could faintly sense the fluctuations of spiritual power in her body, so he smiled and said, "Where are you going, Ranran?"
Zhong Ran said awkwardly, "Nothing much. I just went in to wish the old lady a happy birthday. Since there was nothing else, I was going back."
Guo Aotian frowned slightly: "Why are you leaving right after arriving? But who embarrassed you?"
"Not really." It's just that no one welcomed her.
"How can you leave in such a hurry after arriving here? Come on, uncle will show you around."
Zhong Ran looked him up and down, and only then noticed that there was a fluctuation of spiritual energy around him.
Is this a spiritual practitioner?
Last time in the mountains, because of her vigilance and the smell of blood, she did not notice the subtle fluctuations in his body.
She couldn't help but be curious about the identity of the man in front of her: "Uncle is..."
"Guo Aotian, you can just call me Uncle Tian."
Zhong Ran suddenly realized that he was Guo Aotian, one of her mother's suitors?
According to the eldest senior brother, he will never marry for the sake of Yun Qingran?
So, was the old lady’s dislike for her just now because of him and Yun Qingran?
Yes, such a good son, with good looks, ability and status, but because of a woman, he not only gave up his original good marriage, but also remained unmarried for the rest of his life?
No other mother would be happy.
"It turned out to be Uncle Guo."
Guo Aotian was stunned by her distant and cold tone. Thinking of the rumors about this girl outside, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes.
This is a child who is truly unloved by his father and mother.
She didn't know who her biological father was, but her nominal father wished her dead. She was sent out to be raised in the wild since she was young. I heard that she was very thin when she first came back.
"Come, uncle will take you to get something to eat."
He reached out to pull her, but when he was halfway there, he was stared at by her indifferent eyes and withdrew his hand awkwardly.
This child is not half as lovable as her mother.
Zhong Ran paused, then turned around and left with him.
With his attitude, she felt that it was not easy to leave like this.
