Chapter 36 The Artificial First Wife in Classical Chinese Texts 7

In the end, the items were still left behind. Gu's mother wanted to persuade her again, but Qingyu turned around and ordered someone to pack the items and send them to the General's Mansion.

Mother Gu's eyelids twitched, and she exclaimed in surprise, "You're going to give it to Xu Qi?"

"Not only that." Qingyu's smile remained unchanged, her eyes slightly upturned, and her tone carried a hint of mockery. "Such a good thing should naturally be seen by everyone in the General's Mansion."

Including Xu Yushu.

"You..." Gu's mother shook her head, but ultimately said nothing.

Well, I heard from the master that Xu Qi seems to care a lot about his daughter, so there shouldn't be any major problems, right?

Mother Gu could only console herself with this thought, unaware that the arrival of the items at the General's Mansion would immediately cause a huge uproar.

Xu Qi felt guilty and fearful, and got up to go to the Gu residence to explain, but was stopped by Xu Yushu, whose face was ashen and whose gaze was full of disappointment.

"So it was your indecisiveness that wronged our son..."

The title seemed very difficult to say. Xu Yushu paused, then changed his words and continued, "I'm sorry to Qingyu? No wonder she got angry and went back to her parents' home!"

Xu Qi frowned slightly. He dared not mention his affair with Li Mingbao, feeling a tightness in his chest from anger. He glanced at Xu Yushu again and said defiantly, "It was you who argued with her."

He couldn't bring himself to say anything more. Xu Yushu's gaze was too oppressive, and Xu Qi could only give a bitter smile and plead in a low voice, "Father, please let me go to the Gu family to pick her up. It's not good for her to stay there. There are rumors going around, and I don't want her to be talked about."

“You’re not fully recovered yet, it would be embarrassing for you to go out. Leave the matter of bringing Qingyu home to me.” Xu Yushu said calmly, but his fingers were trembling.

He didn't know what was wrong with him; he actually felt nervous in front of his... daughter-in-law.

It doesn't match his domineering presence on the battlefield at all.

But I must admit, he doesn't dislike her? In fact, he's becoming increasingly curious about Qingyu...

To be honest, Xu Yushu has never met Qingyu in person, which has only intensified his curiosity about her.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qi felt somewhat uncomfortable, but he still agreed.

Little did he know that this would become the decision he would regret most in the future.

Princess Chaoyang hosted a banquet, and people of some status in the city were invited. Some noble ladies became interested when they heard that the young mistress of the General's Mansion would also be attending.

"That young mistress is a commoner, her family isn't good enough, and it's said that she was sent back to her family home this time." The young ladies who arrived early began to discuss the General's Mansion, and their words immediately caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Other young ladies chimed in, "I don't know what General Xu was thinking? No matter how blind he is, he shouldn't have chosen someone with such a low social standing."

"I heard she's coming again today. I'd like to see who she is."

…………

The crowd whispered amongst themselves, their contempt for Qingyu evident from the moment she arrived at the banquet.

At that time, she was still wearing a gauze hat, and the wind outside was so strong that it hurt her face.

I wonder what Princess Chaoyang was thinking, admiring flowers in this weather?

Are we going to starve?

"Is she the young mistress of the General's Mansion? Why is she wearing a veil? But... her appearance isn't good?" Some impulsive people asked directly.

The other young ladies were surprisingly silent. Qingyu's figure was so graceful that they were almost swayed when she entered. She truly walked with a lotus flower in her step, and her movements were like a dance, which made them subconsciously happy.

Upon hearing the words of the first person to speak, everyone looked at Qingyu.

Qingyu didn't hesitate and took off her veil directly.

Today she wore a light green dress, showing off her slender waist and tall figure.

Everyone was captivated by her fair and snow-white face, delicate eyebrows, naturally red lips, and clear, autumn-like eyes.

Qingyu's lips curled slightly as she looked at the women with a half-smile, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

Everyone wanted to see her make a fool of herself, but she didn't look bad at all, did she?

A hint of smugness made Qingyu resemble a cat with its tail wagging, exuding an air of arrogance.

Just then, a soft voice came from outside, "What are you all doing gathered here?"

Everyone was startled and made way, whereupon they saw Princess Chaoyang, dressed in magnificent robes, walking over.

The latter, though not young, looked remarkably youthful, with a regal air about him, appearing dignified and imposing.

Standing beside her was a striking figure, none other than Li Mingbao. However, the latter was speechless and dumbfounded the moment he saw Qingyu.

This……

Is it Gu Qingyu?!

Li Mingbao's chest heaved violently, her mind filled with memories of her past life, yet she discovered that she couldn't recall a single thing about what Gu Qingyu looked like in her previous life...

Everyone's attention was focused on Qingyu, including Princess Chaoyang, who had previously looked down on people, but was also amazed by her beauty.

It wasn't that she hadn't seen stunningly beautiful women before, but Qingyu possessed an alluring charm that made her unconsciously feel happy whenever she saw her.

Princess Chaoyang immediately stepped forward with a smile, took Qingyu's hand, and said with emotion, "I have long heard of your beauty, sister, and seeing you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved. I am truly delighted to see you."

The others nodded in agreement. They hadn't expected Gu Qingyu to be so popular, and they all wanted to kill themselves for gossiping before!

Qingyu was used to this and nodded slightly, "Your Highness flatters me."

Then he looked at Li Mingbao, who was standing there in a daze.

This was the first time Qingyu had seen the female protagonist of this world. As expected of someone who had been reborn, she possessed a greater sense of composure and ruthlessness in both appearance and temperament.

"This lady... looks familiar. May I ask which family's young lady she is?"

"She is Miss Li, the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor's family."

“Li Mingbao.” Li Mingbao immediately added to Princess Chaoyang’s words. She looked solemn, staring intently into Qingyu’s eyes, her heart pounding.

So you're Gu Qingyu all along?

This surprised Qingyu somewhat. She had guessed that Li Mingbao would target her in advance, and even verbally abuse her...

I didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to now?

Qingyu's smile faded slightly, revealing aloofness and indifference. "So you are Miss Li. I've heard so much about you."

Those four words instantly changed Li Mingbao's expression.

She suddenly remembered what she had done recently, and a sense of regret welled up in her heart. She wanted to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit strange, Princess Chaoyang smiled and joked, "Now that we've met, don't just stand there like an idiot. Today, my flower-viewing banquet is naturally meant to be a happy occasion."

As she spoke, she took Qingyu's hand and led her inside. Qingyu did not resist, ignoring Li Mingbao's complicated gaze, and followed Princess Chaoyang's side with composure.

The other young ladies naturally followed, and in the end, only Li Mingbao remained in the same spot for a long time.
