Gu Qinlan felt a little depressed, but she couldn't show it, so she just picked up a piece of crispy almond candy and broke it gently.
A slight "click" sound startled Zheng Dinglian's eyelids and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face.
He was about to explain, but he saw Gu Qinlan casually put half an almond candy into his mouth, as if she was using this sweetness to cover up her recent unhappiness.
The delicate and tender white fingers, exuding a faint fragrance, gently touched Zheng Dinglian's lips, as if a small electric current spread from the corner of his lips to his whole body.
The tingling and numb feeling made Zheng Dinglian involuntarily open his mouth slightly and hold the almond candy in his mouth.
The sweetness quickly spread in the mouth and slowly flowed into the heart, like a spell, accelerating Zheng Dinglian's heartbeat.
Zheng Dinglian stared at Gu Qinlan intently, with an elusive light flashing in his eyes.
But Gu Qinlan ignored it, just calmly withdrew her hand and took the handkerchief handed to her by Wocan.
She gently wiped the sugar juice off her fingers, then glanced at Zheng Dinglian and asked softly:
"Does His Royal Highness Prince Duan trust me?"
The sweet taste in Zheng Dinglian's mouth had not yet faded. After hearing this, his eyes softened a little and he replied with a smile:
"nature."
After getting a satisfactory answer, Gu Qinlan turned his gaze to Gu Qinlian and said with a smile:
"Sister, you have accused me of many things, but it is just one-sided. Do you have any solid evidence?" She paused for a moment, glanced at Yao, and continued with a smile:
"Since Lady Dingyuan is your biological mother, she cannot be the one to testify against you."
Gu Qinlian was speechless after hearing this, and wanted to refute with her eyes wide open, but Gu Qinlan just smiled lightly, interrupted her and said calmly:
"However, I have evidence."
"evidence?"
Gu Qinlian looked at Gu Qinlan in shock, with disbelief in her eyes.
Gu Qinlan smiled and asked with a firm gaze:
"When Prince Duan's mansion came to propose marriage, did they mention the matter of fate to Marquis Dingyuan's wife?"
When Yao heard this, she was startled, raised her head, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Gu Qinlan smiled lightly and was about to continue speaking when suddenly a sound of footsteps came from outside, approaching from afar.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, only to see the old princess and Nanny Wei walking in from outside.
The arrival of the old princess made Yao's face even paler. She seemed to want to explain something, but the old princess had already signaled Wei Ma to unfold a painting and said slowly:
"In the past, my son accidentally got this calligraphy and painting and loved it very much. At that time, he was at the age of marriage, and the old Prince Duan unfortunately passed away. I was worried that the son would delay his life."
"When I learned that the artist of this painting was the daughter of the Dingyuan Marquis, I went to propose marriage in person. And the wife of the Dingyuan Marquis told me in person that the artist of this painting was the second daughter of the Dingyuan Marquis!"
Standing behind Gu Qinlan's shoulder, his eyes fell on the scroll that Wei Mama slowly unfolded, and he couldn't help but curl up a sarcastic sneer at the corner of his mouth:
"That's ridiculous. That's clearly our eldest daughter's calligraphy."
The wife of Marquis Dingyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and she quickly explained:
"I...I have clarified it later...otherwise, how could Qin Lan marry into the noble Prince Duan's Mansion smoothly?"
"In fact, it was because the second young lady protested to the death and vowed not to marry into the Duke of Duan's mansion, and the wife of the Marquis of Dingyuan had no choice but to nod and agree. Now she is biting back, which is really shameless."
The bags under his eyes spoke sharply and revealed murderous intent.
Princess Lao Duan also sneered and glanced sharply at the wife of Marquis Dingyuan:
"Since you admit that it was Qin Lan that our Prince Duan's Mansion wanted in the beginning, then it is sufficient to prove that your second young lady's accusation that Qin Lan usurped the marriage is pure fabrication!"
"Besides, who was the first to try to usurp the marriage? I should thank the second young lady of Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion."
"If she hadn't disdained our Ding Lian, if she had been allowed to slip through the cracks and step into the threshold of Prince Duan's Mansion, I'm afraid our Prince Duan's Mansion would never have peace, and our family would never be at peace!"
Princess Lao Duan spoke in a firm tone, with a look of genuine relief on her face.
When she mentioned Gu Qinlian, her eyes were full of contempt. She thought she was vulgar, had a bad character, and had evil intentions!
The old Princess Duan could not imagine that if Gu Qinlian had become the mistress of the Prince Duan’s Mansion, how could the Mansion have the peace it has today?
Not only is Huiyi born with a weak constitution and is incurable, but even Zheng Dinglian will probably be bedridden for the rest of his life, living a life worse than death!
Therefore, in the eyes of Princess Lao Duan, Gu Qinlan is not only the lucky star of their family, but also their benefactor!
After Princess Lao Duan finished speaking, Gu Qinlian's face turned pale instantly, and Yao was speechless and panicked.
Upon hearing this, Marquis Dingyuan couldn't help feeling regretful.
He originally thought that he could control Gu Qinlan, but now it seems that Yao and Gu Qinlian are more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything!
Fortunately, he had remained silent before. At this moment, he stared at Yao and Gu Qinlian with a look of grief and anger:
"Okay, okay! I never thought that you two would actually scheme to bully Qin Lan like this! Qin Lan, I'm sorry for you!"
When Marquis Dingyuan said this, his eyes turned red and he looked at Gu Qinlan with regret.
While Gu Qinlan was watching Marquis Dingyuan's performance, he sneered in his heart.
If she didn't know that Marquis Dingyuan had always been a selfish person, she would probably be moved.
Not long after his mother passed away, Marquis Dingyuan could not wait to bring Yao and Gu Qinlian, who was of the same age as her, into his house. Gu Qinlan realized that this father was unreliable.
After all, before his mother passed away, everyone in the capital knew how deeply he loved his mother. Even Gu Qinlan herself thought he was the best father and husband in the world.
pity……
Gu Qinlan remained silent and just looked at Zheng Dinglian indifferently.
Zheng Dinglian chuckled at this moment and looked at Ji Chaoli who had been silent all the time:
"Lord Ji, the palace is busy today, but you have to witness this farce. Why don't you judge how I should deal with them?"
After Zheng Dinglian said this, Dingyuan Hou and others woke up from their dream and noticed Ji Chaoli's presence.
In a dim corner, Ji Chaoli sat quietly. The servants around him blocked everyone's view like a screen, so that they did not notice his presence.
The moment Gu Qinlian's eyes met Ji Chaoli, the appearance of this authoritative figure of the Ji family made her lose all her strength in an instant. Her body seemed to be drained out and she fell heavily to the ground, her face full of fear.
She could never have imagined that Ji Chaoli would appear in this place!
This means that every word she said just now, even the love she expressed to Zheng Dinglian, had been heard by Ji Chaoli without missing a word!
"Uncle..."
Instantly, all eyes were focused on Ji Chaoli like a spotlight.
Ji Chaoli's face was as dark as the sky at this moment, so gloomy that it made people feel scared.
He finally understood why Zheng Dinglian impeached him for no reason!
