CHAPTER 301 - PEOPLE

As Lady Gu spoke, she nodded to Zhao Tizhao and Sally, who were standing to one side in boredom. The two of them immediately straightened their backs in fright.

At this time, Li Rong Hua was noticed by everyone, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

The expression on Gu Shu's face was indifferent and could not be seen. On the contrary, Zhao Titian's expression immediately changed. Her gaze swept across Li Ronghua like a knife, and it was filled with hostility.

Suri Er had never seen Gu Shu and Zhao Titian treat a person with such cold hostility before. However, his friend's enemy was her enemy, and coupled with the fact that this weak girl in front of her was cowardly, which was a type that she did not like, Suri Er immediately started to dislike Li Ronghua.

Li Ronghua didn't know that the first time he saw her, he had already gained the loathing of a princess. Li Ronghua looked very dispirited as he said, "Please don't blame Ronghua for not coming over to say hello. It's because he was too weak after falling into the water last time.

Sister, you're overthinking it. Gu Shu coldly replied, then no longer looked at her.

Li Ronghua's posture was still the same as always. From time to time, he would raise his eyes to look at Gu Shu, and then timidly lower his head, as if he had received a great shock, but was still strong enough to face it.

If a few other people were to sit here, they might really be led astray by her and have some bad guesses towards Gu Shu.

Unfortunately, regardless of whether it was Lady Gu, Zhao Titian, or Sally, none of them would doubt Gu Shu, not to mention the confused Jane'er. Her heart was filled with the big sister Shu, whom she liked, and she did not look at Li Ronghua at all.

Li Ronghua's brilliant performance could be considered as a waste of effort.

Realizing this, she could only curse silently in her heart, almost unable to suppress the rage in her eyes.

At this moment, Zhao Jin and Saer were also led in by the butler.

Li Ronghua's eyes lit up. His entire temperament became even more delicate and pitiable. However, ever since Zhao Jin and Sa'er entered the room, their eyes were only filled with Gu Shu quietly sitting there.

Madam Gu, sorry to bother you. The two princesses were in a good mood today and wanted to invite Shu'er to enjoy the lake in the outskirts. They only came here temporarily because they caused a ruckus in front of me. Zhao Jin slightly cupped her hands and explained her purpose.

When Zhao Titian, who was at the side, saw his humble gentleman, his elegantly dressed face secretly curled his lips. He could not help but take apart the stage below and whisper in Gu Shu and Sally'er's ear.

Shu'er, you don't know. It was clearly the prince who brought Little Jun'er to look for me early in the morning, saying that he wanted to bring you out for a stroll. Now, it turns out that I and Sally are here to look for you instead. I really don't know what's going on in my heart. Tsk tsk …

Uh-huh, that's not it. She nodded.

When Gu Shu heard this, she couldn't help covering her lips and chuckling. A sweet feeling welled up in her heart, but there wasn't anything amiss about her expression.

And this scene, in Li Ronghua's eyes, was glaring and ear-piercing.

Why would such a godlike man have such deep feelings for that bitch Gu Shu!?

Madam Gu looked at the harmonious atmosphere before her and smiled faintly. The reason her daughter was able to hand over all these royal relatives was because she had raised her daughter well in the General's Estate.

There's no need to mind these formalities. Shu'er will be staying in the manor for the next few days. It's also good for her to go out and get some fresh air.

Thank you Madam. Shu'er, go and prepare. We must have a great time today!

Thank you, Zhao Tidou said excitedly. Zhao Jin, who was about to open her mouth, was stopped by her. She didn't even have time to thank him.

Li Ronghua, who had fallen to the background, saw that everyone was chatting and laughing together with Gu Shu. The handkerchief in his hand was about to be torn, and no one paid attention to her anymore. Even Madam Gu seemed to have temporarily forgotten about her.

At that time, Li Rong Hua seemed to have thought of something and his eyes flashed. Traveling around the lake and travelling with Zhao Jin, if she also went with them, perhaps she would be able to get some information out of him.

CHAPTER 302 - THIS WAS THE ADOPTED DAUGHTER OF THE GENERAL'S ESTATE

She pretended to unwittingly sigh and said, I really envy sister. To be able to become good friends with a noble person like the princess and the prince and to travel together, with such a lowly status, I don't dare to hope for such a thing. I only think about myself, but I don't even have a friend I can talk to, I can't help but feel lonely.

She paused for a moment and carefully looked at Gu Shu before continuing, If only I could go out with elder sister …

Just as he finished speaking, he saw that everyone's gaze was directed at him. Li Ronghua concealed his glee and lowered his head in a flustered and bashful manner.

Then, as if to make up for her slip of tongue, she said to Madam Gu, "I apologize for my impoliteness, but unintentionally said the words in my heart. Everyone, I don't blame you for being impolite, but mother, I will stay behind to accompany you.

Having said so, Li Ronghua smiled cutely at Madam Gu. However, he could not conceal the loneliness in his eyes. Even his smile was filled with bitterness.

Madam Gu had always been someone who would not take advantage of others. When she saw Li Ronghua's attitude, her heart softened in pity.

He could not help but say to Gu Shu'er, Shu'er, Rong Hua has not walked around the capital for a long time. Why not bring her along this time? It would be more lively with more people.

Gu Shu guessed this possibility the moment Li Ronghua opened his mouth. She sighed in her heart and didn't agree or oppose it.

Zhao Tizhong rarely saw Gu Shu's attitude, but when he thought about the various conflicts between Li Ronghua and Gu Shu, he understood.

If a sister of hers had been plotting to harm him, she would have long since chased him out of Shengjing. How would she have kept him and treated him well like Gu Shu?

Thus, seeing that her sister was in a difficult situation, Zhao Tizhao did not think much of it and directly opened his mouth to refuse in Gu Shu's place.

Madam Gu, I can see that Miss Rong Hua's body is very weak. If she had caught a cold by the water's edge, things wouldn't be good. She should stay in the mansion and recuperate.

After all, Li Ronghua had fallen into the water a few days ago, so it might not be appropriate for her to swim in the lake again. However, when she saw Li Ronghua's eager expression, she couldn't bear to make him give up.

Just as Madam Gu was in a dilemma, Gu Shu revealed a smile and magnanimously nodded her head.

Since little sister wants to follow her, then let's go together. With me taking care of her and the servants and guards following her, nothing will happen.

Shu'er? Zhao Tizhao couldn't figure it out. In the blink of an eye, Gu Shu seemed to have become a completely different person.

Thank you for your understanding, Princess. I will take good care of little sister Rong Hua and I will definitely not disturb her interest in traveling. The smile on Gu Zhui's face grew even wider as he spoke, causing Zhao Tianchang's head to be filled with fog.

However, in Li Ronghua's eyes, she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Zhao Yu paid a lot of attention to the task of investigating the silver mine in Zongzhou. After delaying it for so long, she still hadn't made any progress. She wouldn't miss this opportunity to get close to Zhao Jin, so she could only endure the discomfort in her heart.

Soon, all of them got on the carriage and headed for the outskirts of the city.

Along the way, Li Ronghua sat alone in the spacious carriage. Although the distance was not far, it was obvious that he was isolated.

Zhao Jin and Saer followed on horseback by the side of the carriage, listening to what was going on inside.

Looking at Li Ronghua's fake lonely posture, she felt extremely disgusted. When she thought back to the previous time at the General's Estate, Zhao Tizhuang's obviously unhappy attitude, she could not help but ask.

Eh? How come I've never heard that there's such a Miss Rong Hua in the General's Estate? Could it be that she's Gu Shu's distant cousin?

As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the carriage became unusual. Without waiting for Gu Shu to return, Zhao Titian spoke first. "He's not some distant cousin. This Miss Rong Hua was originally the adopted daughter of the General's Estate.

CHAPTER 303 - HE WAS SIMPLY AN INGRATE WHO WAS NOT WELL GROOMED

She paused for a moment, and when she looked at Li Ronghua who had his head lowered, her tone became gloomy. She continued: However, this Miss Ronghua is very powerful, and she almost became Jin'jie's concubine. However, this princess doesn't really understand.

Zhao Titian abruptly moved closer to Li Ronghua, causing the woman in front of him to instinctively shrink back. You said that Shu'er is so good to you, and the entire General's Estate thinks that you're a treasure in their hands? How can you be so shameless as to do something that disregards Shu'er! Furthermore, I also heard that you have done quite a number of things in secret that have let down our Shu'er!

Now that you've appeared again, what exactly do you mean by that?

Zhao Titian became angrier the more she spoke. She had wanted to remind Sally to not get too close to the girl in order to not be fooled by her gentle appearance, but the more she talked, the more excited she became.

Although she had never seen many things with her own eyes, in the capital, there was no news that could be concealed. She had heard many disgusting things about Li Ronghua, and had even hurt Gu Shu, causing her to hate Li Ronghua even more with righteous indignation.

Zhao Tiezhong completely ignored Li Ronghua's words and deliberately raised his voice.

Li Ronghua silently sat at the side, his thin shoulders slightly trembling, looking pitiful.

There is such a thing! Tell me quickly." Hearing what she said, the way she looked at Li Ronghua suddenly turned sharp, and she couldn't bear to see her look any longer.

No wonder Titian hated her so much!

What else could it be? We received favors from the general's estate since we were young, but we don't know how to repay them. Aside from acting weak and acting pitiful, we would bully and frame Shu'er and even attempt to snatch Big Brother Jin. Our Shu'er is so innocent, so we can only suffer …

However, what this princess never expected was that Miss Rong Hua's ambition was actually this great. Not only did she not manage to seduce Brother Jin, she even set her sights on Third Imperial Brother, and in the end was even … He was captured by the palace and revealed. Tsk tsk tsk, that scene really is shameful and despicable …"

Zhao Titian directly put the matter on the surface. The etiquette of learning from a young age prevented her from saying that she was dirty, but she couldn't resist the urge to expose the true identity of this vicious woman. Thus, she could only glare at Li Ronghua implicitly without any face left in her mouth.

However, unlike Zhao Tianchong, Sally was free and unrestrained since she was young. When she heard about Li Ronghua's wicked deeds, her face immediately changed and she started cursing at Li Ronghua.

Even if you have a dog, you still know to look after the house and protect it. Your previous ways were not even as good as the dog's, and you also did not look at yourself in the bronze mirror. Do you think that you are a sickly beauty with such an ugly appearance, and wish to see Prince Jin? See if you can compare to Gu Shu in any way, and that's just giving her the cold shoulder! "

In one breath, she had injured Li Ronghua from head to toe. Only then did she calm down, and without even giving her a glance, she straightforwardly turned her head and grabbed Gu Shu's arm, begging for praise.

However, from the beginning to the end, Gu Shu did not stop Zhao Tizhao's mockery in the slightest.

Instead, he calmly leaned on the carriage and watched the show.

This was because she wanted to interrogate Li Ronghua with these words!

But after her rebirth, she knew that this Li Ronghua was simply an ingrate who was not familiar with him. His thoughts were extremely vicious, and even though he said those words, she didn't know how to be grateful.

Now, these two little girls could be considered to be venting their anger for him.

Gu Shu didn't hesitate to give Sari'er a big smile. She picked up a teacup by her side and placed it next to her mouth. Sally didn't feel that Gu Shu'er was being perfunctory, and even proudly showed off to Zhao Ting.

CHAPTER 304 - DIDN'T YOU GUYS HAVE A GOOD TIME?

Zhao Titian was still standing in the same aura as Sari, clapping his hands in admiration.

Li Ronghua looked at her with a venomous look, but he didn't dare to refute her. After all, whether it was Zhao Tianchong or Sally'er, they were both noble princesses, separated from her by the clouds and mud.

Li Ronghua could only lower his head and sob softly. He felt wronged and said, I know that I've done a lot of wrong in the past and I've come back this time to atone for my sins. Elder sister, you know this, I, I …

Li Rong Hua's body trembled as he choked with sobs. His teary eyes looked towards Gu Shu, occasionally glancing towards the outside of the carriage, as if hoping that Zhao Jin outside would say a few words for him.

However, Gu Shu seemed to have completely forgotten the promise she had made in front of Madam Gu. She casually sipped on her tea to admire the scenery and didn't have the slightest intention of helping her.

Zhao Tiewang was secretly pleased, but he did not forget to add on, Tsk, tsk, so Miss Ronghua came here to atone for her sins with Shu'er, but back then, you even shamelessly climbed onto my Big Brother Jin's bed. You actually dared to pregnant Big Brother Jin's child, causing Shu'er to be heartbroken, how did you manage to do that?

The child with Prince Jin in her womb?

Sally was the first to open her eyes wide. Her age was only around the same as hers, but she didn't expect her to be so brazen and shameless!

However, right at this moment, a cold and low voice suddenly sounded from outside the carriage. It seemed to carry a faint feeling of disgust. That is not a child of this king.

With just one sentence, Li Ronghua's face was almost transparent.

Zhao Tianchong also came to a realization. That's right. Miss Rongyan had already done that kind of thing with Imperial Brother Yu. Who knows who that child belongs to?

On the way, Li Rong Hua was ridiculed by others for doing things in the past, but he couldn't say anything back to defend himself. There was no one in this world who was more embarrassed than the current Li Rong Hua.

The joints under his sleeves were almost crushed. Li Rong Hua wished he could bite off the necks of these women in front of him.

But right now, she could only endure!

Her eyes gradually turned scarlet as she stared viciously at Gu Shu. She hadn't expected Gu Shu to suddenly raise his head and meet her gaze.

Li Rong Hua didn't have the time to withdraw his intense hatred. His face looked ferocious and unsightly.

However, as if she had already expected this, Gu Shu shot her a strange smile.

The three of them surrounded Little Zhen'er, laughing and making a ruckus. Only Li Rong Hua was curled up in a corner, pretending to be sad. In a corner that couldn't be seen, his eyes were filled with a heavy sense of unwillingness and humiliation.

Very quickly, the carriage stopped. Zhao Jin and Saer helped Gu Shu and the others off the carriage, but it was as if they had forgotten about Li Ronghua. They walked towards the lake while talking and laughing.

The handkerchief in Li Rong Hua's hand was rubbed to the point where it looked like it was broken. Fang Fei followed behind the carriage, but she hadn't arrived yet. Therefore, Li Rong Hua could only disappoint himself and slowly climb down.

Sally stood at the edge of the lake and peeked out. When she saw Li Ronghua walking towards them with big steps, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Gu Shu, why did you agree to let this woman follow us? We don't have anyone here to welcome her, and she looks like she's terminally ill. She's even wobbling like a duck, very annoying.

Zhao Tianchang also nodded his head in agreement.

On the other hand, Zhao Jin was constantly paying attention to Gu Shu's expression. As long as she was slightly impatient, she would immediately order someone to send Li Ronghua back to the General's Estate.

However, not only did Gu Shu not reveal any expression of annoyance, she even pursed her lips and meaningfully said, Bringing her out is not completely useless.

Shu'er, what are you talking about?

Princess, didn't you guys have fun on the carriage just now? Now that we're out of the carriage, there are even more things we can play with. I believe that 'little sister Rong Hua' will definitely like it, right? "

CHAPTER 305 - YOU'VE GONE BAD MY SON

Zhao Tianchong and Sally was stunned. In the next moment, she seemed to have realized something and suddenly exchanged a look, laughing like a thief.

Zhao Tianchong grabbed onto Gu Shu's arm and said coquettishly, Shu'er, you've become bad. Did Zhao Jin lead you astray? However, I like your look. Haha!"

At this time, Li Rong Hua, who had just walked to the lake shore, suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He didn't know why, but he suddenly had a bad premonition.

The few of them arrived at the famous lake, especially on the autumn day. Because of the red maple trees growing on the shore, many people came to admire the autumn scenery.

Just as the few of them were chatting happily.

An extremely magnificent pleasure boat slowly sailed towards the shore, nearing the pier where Gu Shu and the others were.

The huge hull occupied everyone's line of sight and reflected the rows of three storied buildings that looked like they were carved from stone.

Each pillar was meticulously crafted, and the images of the birds and birds floated in the air. A bright light leaked from the cabin, and it was obviously still before nightfall, yet it was still dazzling.

It was like how a godly person used an immortal technique to shrink a palace and send it into the water. It was like how a godly person used an immortal technique to shrink a palace and send it into the water.

The boat is here, let's go.

Zhao Jin, as the most beloved prince in the capital, had never seen any of these treasures before in the luxurious palaces, so she was already used to this sort of cruise. At this moment, she calmly held onto Gu Shu's hand and led everyone onto the boat.

Gu Shu was a person with two lifetimes' worth of experience, so her scope of knowledge was naturally extraordinary as well. She would also not make any big fuss over nothing.

As for the princess prince, Zhao Tianchong, and the Sally siblings, they also had the arrogance of royalty. After being stunned for a while, they recovered their composure and followed Gu Shu, Zhao Jin, and the other two on the boat while joking and joking.

Only Li Ronghua, who was left behind, looked out of place.

Li Rong Hua had never experienced such a situation before, not even when she was with Zhao Yu. Thus, she thought that she had hidden herself and looked around, her eyes filled with the light of vanity and greed. However, she didn't forget to put on a weak and delicate posture.

On board the boat, Zhao Tizhao and Sally didn't want to ruin Li Ronghua's interest in swimming the lake. They just treated her like a lowly maid, and ordered her to pour tea from time to time. Other than that, it was like treating a lump of air, not even giving her a glance.

If she didn't get any useful information, then all the humiliation she suffered before would have been in vain. Therefore, no matter how wronged and unwilling she was, no matter how much she gnashed her teeth, she did not dare to say anything offensive and could only obediently do things.

The cruise liner slowly moved forward. Not long later, Zhao Tizhao and Sally'er had already started to play with Little Jun in an unrestrained manner.

Throwing the matter of teasing Li Ronghua to the back of their mind, the three excitedly ran to the top floor of the pavilion. Sayel was afraid that the few of them might be too reckless, so he helplessly and gently shook his head before following them.

The servants who were serving with him were ordered out by Zhao Titian at the beginning. After all, several people were reminiscing about old times, so they didn't want others to disturb them. As a result, only Zhao Jin, Gu Shu, and Li Ronghua remained in this spacious space.

This was the best opportunity to gather information.

Li Ronghua's eyes lit up and his lips revealed a determined look. He twisted his slim waist and moved towards Gu Shu and Han Ying Xue.

Big sister Shu'er, Prince Jin, this is the tea that Ronghua has just brewed. Please have a taste.

As if unintentionally approaching Gu Shu and Zhao Jin, Li Ronghua respectfully took away the teacups in front of them that had already cooled down, and fluently poured another two cups.

CHAPTER 306 - TO AVOID BEING TAINTED BY UNCLEAN THINGS

Gu Shu only looked at Li Ronghua as he faintly smiled. She picked herself up to drink a mouthful, but did not refuse. Her eyes were somewhat cold as she sized him up.

Being treated so coldly, if it were anyone else, they would have just flung their sleeves and left. Li Ronghua, on the other hand, didn't seem to have any feelings for him. His actions, on the other hand, seemed more intimate.

He pushed the plate of snacks beside him and said, "Ronghua saw that the snacks this elder sister made were also small and exquisite and had a sweet
