Chapter 17 What kind of devil is this?
Gu Rong realized that if she wanted to gain a foothold in the Hou Mansion, the key was not to gain the approval of Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou, but to win over Gu Xi!
However, Gu Xi was not in the Hou Mansion, and she couldn't see anyone. No matter how much she thought, she had nothing to do, which made Gu Rong feel aggrieved!
Although her system is very powerful, it allows her to redeem various cards to improve her beauty and talent, and even gain good luck, changing other people's favorability towards her.
However, the premise of all this is that she must have enough love points.
And in such a prince's mansion, she won't get much love at all.
All this is because of Gu Xi!
She really wanted to go to Zhuangzi and go directly to Gu Xi, but when she mentioned it, neither Mr. Hou nor Mrs. Hou agreed, so she had no choice but to give up.
However, she doesn't have the temperament to sit still and wait for death. Since the Hou Mansion can't get the love value, she will go outside to get it.
Gu Rong also knows her current situation. She has not learned the rules and etiquette well, and she makes people laugh when she sees courtesy.
In a word, I can’t take it out.
I can’t meet dignitaries, and I can’t join the circle of ladies.
Therefore, based on her own situation, Gu Rong decided that the targets for brushing the love value would be ordinary people, or even weaker and more despicable people.
After she inquired about the situation in the capital, she learned that there was a place like Nianci Hall that was similar to an orphanage, and she immediately decided to go there to 'boost her points'.
Compared with adults, it is easier to obtain the love value of children.
Especially orphans, as long as you give them something and show some kindness, they will beg for mercy, like you, and look forward to you.
Gu Rong is very experienced in this.
Before Gu Rong went out, she asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of pastries for the orphans to increase their love points.
From the beginning, things developed exactly as Gu Rong thought.
She took out the pastries and took the initiative to pass them to several children. She also expressed some gentle and patient concern for them, and immediately gained a few love points.
Gu Rong was elated, feeling that she had suddenly found a holy place to earn points, and these orphans didn't look so annoying anymore.
However, she didn't wait long to be happy.
"Are you also a young lady from the Zhongyi Hou Mansion? Why haven't I seen you before?"
A girl about eleven or twelve years old stared at Gu Rong and asked.
"I am the eldest daughter of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion. You little girl, isn't it normal that you haven't seen me before?"
Gu Rong felt that this girl was having a relationship.
She originally wanted to ridicule her as a humble orphan for seeing such a big shot, but thinking that she still had to be gentle and approachable, she held back her contempt.
Unexpectedly, the girl suddenly became angry when she heard what she said, and threw the cake she gave her to her.
"You're lying! You're not the daughter-in-law of the Zhongyi Hou Mansion! Aunt Li, hurry up and report to the official, there's a liar pretending to be a sister!"
The girl screamed and started calling people. She also yelled at others not to eat the cakes given by Gu Rong.
Be careful, it’s poisonous!
The children who were eating pastries just now threw them away one by one faster than anyone else.
Moreover, they all looked at her angrily and shouted to close the door. They could not let her escape and wanted to arrest her and send her to the government.
It seems like she is a great villain!
"..." Gu Rong.
What kind of devilish expansion is this!
She was confused, she didn’t understand!
And who is sister Xi(?)?
Could it be Gu Xi?!
The scene suddenly fell into chaos.
Grandma Li, the steward of Nianci Hall, quickly ran out of the house, took control of the situation, explained Gu Rong's identity to the children, and proved that she was not a liar.
Gu Rong's personal maid Jade also rushed to protect Gu Rong and reprimanded these orphans with great force.
They even threatened to arrest them all and send them to the government if they disrespected Gu Rong again.
"Jade, don't scare people, they didn't mean it." Gu Rong frowned, even if she vomited blood, she still had to pretend to be kind.
However, her kindness was not accepted by the children. They were still wary and even looked at Gu Rong with hostility.
After an awkward silence, the little girl who first started to question Gu Rong spoke again,
"So you are the young lady living abroad! It's because of you that people outside are saying bad things about Sister Xi and saying that she can no longer stay in the capital.
Sister Xi is so good, why did you drive her away? You made it impossible for us to see Sister Xi again. You are so bad!"
"Little Taozi, don't be rude to noble people!"
Aunt Li frowned and scolded, quickly pulled the little girl behind her, and apologized to Gu Rong again,
"I'm sorry, Miss Gu. Miss Gu Xi came here often before, and the children are familiar with her, so... they are ignorant and didn't mean to offend you."
Gu Rong, "..."
Sister Xi is really Gu Xi!
I can't let anyone get past this!
Even if Gu Xi controls the Hou Mansion tightly, Nianci Hall is actually her territory too!
Even these orphans are her stupid fans, no, they are fans of Duwei, and they don't accept her at all.
So angry!
"It's okay, it's okay." Gu Rong was clearly angry, pretending to be fine, and explained seriously,
"You have all misunderstood. I did not want to drive my sister away. I very much hope that my sister will stay in the Hou Mansion..."
"We understand." Nanny Li nodded immediately with a decent smile on her face.
Gu Rong, "..."
Once you see it, you don’t really understand!
Stand still and listen to my explanation!!!
-
In the end, Gu Rong couldn't explain anything, because these people were incompetent, so she had to leave Nianci Hall full of anger.
After one visit, her love decreased instead of increasing!
Because the orphans had too much resentment towards her, the system deducted ten love points from her and gave her a warning, asking her to pay attention to her reputation management.
Once she has too many negative fans and her reputation is too bad, her love points will be deducted, her love points will be deducted, and she will be punished.
Invisibly, Gu Rong only felt that Gu Xi slapped her hard on the face again and smiled mockingly at her.
Laughing at her for poaching, she ended up trapping and burying herself.
Gu Rong was filled with anger and depression. She was no longer hostile to Gu Xi, but hated her with itching teeth.
-
As soon as Gu Xi got on the carriage and entered the South City Gate, she received another prompt from the system and completed the number of slaps in the face.
Gu Xi raised his eyebrows, no longer surprised, but more curious.
She began to seriously consider whether to place an informant next to Gu Rong and monitor her every move.
"Miss, shall we go back to the Hou Mansion?" Xia Zhi asked her, making Gu Xi come back to her senses.
