Gu Rong couldn't help but nodded and agreed,

"What you said makes sense. No matter what, Gu Xi is the adopted daughter of the Hou family. If there is no conflict of interest with me, my father and mother will not take action."

"Miss, I dare to ask, how kind are your adoptive parents to you? What kind of temperament do they have?"

When Gu Rong heard Feicui ask this, she pursed her lips and her face turned slightly ugly.

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"I just want to see if I can do something about this."

Seeing Gu Rong's ugly face, Feicui couldn't help but guess that the young lady must have suffered a lot in the countryside.

This is to be expected.

Countryside people favor boys over girls. If the family is doing well, they will use their daughter as a maid and let her do all kinds of work. If she is very poor, she will be sold as goods.

"I actually don't know how they treat me." Gu Rong hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell the truth.

"Before I was brought back, I fell seriously ill and forgot many things.

But based on the short time I spent with them, they are just vulgar, uneducated country people with nothing special except their good looks."

Jade's eyes widened and she looked at Gu Rong in shock.

This surprised her so much!

And it’s also very strange.

The young lady doesn’t look like someone who has lost her memory at all.

"I'll tell you this. Unless I have to, I don't want others to know about it." Gu Rong said with a serious face.

She also knew that she did not act like someone who had lost her memory, and it was even more wrong that she did not reveal her memory loss immediately after arriving at the Hou Mansion.

Moreover, she also showed off her piano skills and ability to compose poems. If she lost her memory, she shouldn't remember these.

"My slave must keep the secret." Jade quickly promised,

"Don't worry, miss, your adoptive parents from the countryside will not come to the capital, and no one will know about this."

"Hmm. Let's not talk about them. Let's talk about how to stop Gu Xi. Do you have any other ideas?"

Gu Rong also thought that they would never meet again, so she never cared about her original adoptive parents.

"Miss, why not use the simplest and most violent method and hire a murderer to stop Gu Xi?"

A trace of ruthlessness flashed in the jade eyes.

"Do you have a connection?" Gu Rong came to be interested.

Jade nodded and whispered,

"This slave knows someone from a Jianghu gang. As long as you give enough money, they will kill people and steal goods."

"How much money do you need? I want Gu Xi to be disfigured and break a leg!"

Gu Rong suppressed her voice and said harshly.

Since you have to spend money, don't be merciful.

To be soft-hearted to the enemy is to dig a hole for yourself.

"Miss, the more money you have, the more people you can hire. If you hire a dozen skilled people, you will need at least a thousand taels of silver."

Jade said.

When Gu Rong heard this, she was immediately in trouble. She couldn't afford so much money!

The total amount of money she has on hand is only a hundred taels!

"Miss, why don't you go to Princess Yaoguang to discuss this matter? We will provide the manpower and let the princess provide the money?!"

Jade eyes lit up and she spoke.

Gu Rong nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

-

Mrs. Hou knew that Gu Rong had returned home, so she asked her maid to invite her over to have lunch with her and pay close attention to how her first day at the academy was going.

When she heard that Gu Qian'er and the others were isolating her, Mrs. Hou frowned immediately.

Gu Qian'er is the legitimate daughter of the second son's family, and she is difficult to discipline.

However, two concubines, Gu Rourou and Gu Die, actually dared to look down on Rong'er. They are so courageous that they are going to heaven.

She was going to beat them and their aunt hard.

When she heard Gu Rong say that the academy was testing piano skills and she also went up to play a piece, Mrs. Hou was very surprised. She didn't hear Gu Rong tell her that she could play the piano.

Immediately, let Gu Rong play a piece for her first, and we will talk about the rest later.

After listening to Gu Rong's playing, Mrs. Hou was pleasantly surprised and praised her greatly, "Rong'er plays really well, and He Xi'er is no less generous."

She was so happy that her own daughter could grow into such an outstanding person without any guidance.

At this time, Mrs. Hou gave Gu Rong ten more love points.

"Mom, my sister's piano skills are much better than mine now. I can't compare to you." Gu Rong smiled and said proudly,

"Mom, you must have never imagined that my sister is now hired by the mountain chief as his wife. My sister is really amazing!"

"What? How did Gu Xi get hired as a master?" Mrs. Hou was surprised and happy, and asked quickly why.

"I don't know why the mountain chief wanted to hire my sister, but Princess Yaoguang and many other noble ladies objected and asked my sister to prove her talents..."

Gu Rong then talked about Gu Xi's challenge to the four great masters of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting tomorrow afternoon.

After hearing this, Mrs. Hou showed a confident smile and said happily,

"With Xi'er's talent and learning, even if he can't win against the four great masters, he can still amaze them all. This is an excellent opportunity to become famous."

Gu Rong looked at her mother's attitude with a hint of evil in her eyes.

Jade is right, her mother is happy to see Gu Xi become her wife!

What she wants to do next must be hidden from her mother!

-

After Gu Rong had lunch at home, she took the carriage to the academy again.

Along the way, Gu Rong was thinking about how she would secretly discuss with Princess Yaoguang about hiring a murderer to stop Gu Xi when she arrived at the academy.

However, Gu Rong never expected that before she even reached the academy, she would be blocked by Princess Rubao and her people!!!

"Bring Miss Gu down from the carriage and ask her to kowtow to the princess."

Princess Rubao played with the ruby ​​bracelet on her hand and said proudly.

When Gu Rong was dragged off the carriage by the strong woman beside Princess Rubao, everyone was stunned.

Campus bullying???

These words suddenly appeared in Gu Rong's mind. She wanted to laugh, but she really couldn't laugh at all and her body was trembling.

Why did Princess Rubao block her? Was it because Gu Xi stood up?!

"You weren't very capable when you played the piano in the morning. I haven't even touched you yet, and you're already scared?"

Princess Rubao looked at Gu Rong who was shaking non-stop and said contemptuously,

"You and Axi are really different. I wanted to teach you a lesson, but seeing how cowardly you are, I lost interest."

Gu Rong was forced to kneel on the ground, her face turned red as she listened to Princess Rubao's humiliating words, her heart was tormented, her teeth were itching with shame, discomfort, and hatred.

"Why, why?" Gu Rong raised her head, holding back her shame and anger and asked Princess Rubao,

"Are you standing up for your sister? Do you think I've interfered with my sister's affairs and taken away her identity and status?"

"Of course not. The reason you just mentioned only accounts for a small part. Axi is so powerful, I don't need to stand up for her.

The main reason why I hit you is because I don’t like you and I’m disgusted by you. Gee, you’re so good at pretending!”

As soon as Princess Rubao opened her mouth, Gu Rong was angry and confused.
