"Oh, I got it."

Bang!

Aunt Zhao responded with Gu Tang's soft words and the deafening sound of the door closing. She originally wanted to humiliate her, but was rejected.

No matter how hard she knocked on the door, the people inside remained unmoved, as if they didn't hear her.

In the end, she could only curse and leave.

"An adopted daughter dares to show off to me. She deserves not to be liked by Madam and the others. Just wait, Gu Tang. One day, you will definitely be kicked out!"

Gu Tang had heard the curses getting farther and farther outside the door so many times in her previous life. At that time, she would hide and cry secretly in sadness, but now she feels calm.

After marrying Mo Siyan in her previous life, Gu Tang was pestered by him and developed the habit of sleeping in. She would never get up at this time on weekdays.

Because she deliberately got up early to wait for Aunt Zhao. On the day of Shen Yaoyao's entrance banquet in her previous life, Aunt Zhao also came before dawn to warn her not to go out and embarrass the Shen family.

At that time, she had just returned from making tea for Shen Changshan, but she was woken up as soon as she closed her eyes, and was forced to listen to a lot of unpleasant words, which made her sad for a long time.

The room fell into silence again, but Gu Tang had no intention of sleeping. She lit the candles in the room, took a folk dialect book from the bookshelf, and read it leisurely.

The leisurely posture seems to be waiting for someone.

Two hours later, there was a knock on the door again.

This time it was Shen Yaoyao's personal maid. She bowed slightly towards Gu Tang and said, "Seventh Miss, Sixth Miss asked me to give you clothes and jewelry. She hopes you can accompany her today."

"Madam, she has already informed you."

"You'll go, right?"

This maid had never taken Gu Tang seriously because she was Shen Yaoyao's right-hand girl. Now she was polite and respectful, giving off a strange aura.

Gu Tang showed a clear smile, "Of course I will go."

Back in the house, Gu Tang casually put her clothes on the screen, her eyes touched the golden head and face inside the box, her eyes were a little deeper.

Pick up the smallest pearl hairpin below.

Grind it hard with your fingertips.

The gilded crispy shell on the outside crunched and shattered, revealing the black interior, which was filled with gold-plated iron jewelry.

Gu Tang closed the box, sat in front of the dressing table, and took out the golden hairpin from last night. A meaningful cold light flashed in his casual eyes.

*

Flower Hall.

The host of the banquet was surrounded by a group of noble ladies in the center, listening to everyone's praises like stars over the moon.

During the greetings, Shen Yaoyao saw her maid from the corner of her eye. She nodded slightly to herself, conveying the news silently.

Shen Yaoyao smiled and raised her chin, then put her arm on a noble girl's arm affectionately, her closeness was very obvious.

"Sister Wan'er, your hairstyle is so beautiful. I have never seen this style in Beijing."

Shen Chaomu, who was standing not far away and had been paying attention to his sister, heard this and his eyes subconsciously fell on the head of the girl Shen Yaoyao was holding. She really had never seen her before.

He has already thought about it in his mind, and after today, he will find someone to customize a set with a similar style.

Wei Wan felt the man's gaze, her cheeks flushed, and she said shyly: "This was customized at Jiangnan Zhenbao Pavilion. This style is now popular there."

"Yao Yao, if you like it, I'll give you a set and treat it as a gift for entering your higher education."

Wei Wan is the daughter of the prime minister. Logically speaking, even if Shen Yaoyao is favored by the eldest princess now, she does not need to be so careful to please her.

But who knows that Shen Yaoyao is the sister of her sweetheart? It is said that Shen Chaomu loves this sister very much, so naturally she will also love Wujiwu and leave a good impression on him.

Shen Yaoyao noticed her peeking at her third brother, and she pouted coquettishly, "Sister Wan'er, it would be too strange for you and me to give gifts to each other. We are all one family."

Wei Wan was even more embarrassed by her family, and lowered her head shyly, "It's okay, I have a lot of tricks over there, sister Yaoyao, just accept it."

In my heart, I fell in love with Shen Yaoyao even more.

The mouth is so sweet.

Just when they were chatting happily, the other noble ladies exclaimed.

"Yao Yao, isn't that Gu Tang? Your adopted sister is so shameless. She has hurt you so many times, yet she has the nerve to come to your college entrance banquet."

"Look at how gorgeous she is. The words "she wants to steal the spotlight" are almost engraved on her forehead.

"What's the use of dressing up so beautifully for an ugly guy? Once the veil is taken off, he's not as ugly as he is."

Shen Yaoyao thought of the hair and face that she sent to the maid, and the proud smile on her lips could not be suppressed. However, when she saw the jewelry on the girl's bun.

Her pupils opened uncontrollably, and her beautiful face was distorted for a moment, mixed with a bit of indescribable shock and obvious jealousy.

Bu Yao, who was originally transformed into a hairpin, is now hanging with the removed string of beads...

The hands under Shen Yaoyao's clothes were clenched into fists, and her nails dug deeply into her flesh. If she pressed harder, it would seem that she would bleed in the next moment.

That pigeon blood ruby ​​hairpin that she couldn't get, Shen Yufei actually gave it to Gu Tang, but she was obviously his favorite sister, so this hairpin should be hers!

But superficially.

Shen Yaoyao still pretended to be very surprised, "Sister, Yaoyao thought you wouldn't come."

Gu Tang saw Shen Yaoyao's gaffe completely, smiled and said: "Of course my sister is coming for such a big day as your college entrance banquet."

"However, the hair and face that my sister gave me is too valuable. If I don't wear it, you won't be angry, right?"

The plan failed, what she wanted appeared on Gu Tang's head, and she pretended to be sisters with her, Shen Yaoyao could hardly stop laughing.

She could only force a smile and said, "I am very happy that my sister can come. How could Yaoyao be angry."

"That's good."

"Huh……"

Shen Yaoyao saw Gu Tang looking at Wei Wan's hair in confusion. The hunter's instinct for many years made her feel a strong sense of uneasiness.

Just at this moment.

Something terrible happened to her.

"Ms. Wei, did Yaoyao give you this hairdress as well? You two have such a good relationship." Gu Tang wore a veil, deliberately letting her eyes glow with envy.

also?

Wei Wan frowned in confusion, "I specially ordered this from Jiangnan Zhenbao Pavilion. What do you mean?"

Gu Tang seemed embarrassed, "Yao Yao gave me an identical set, so I subconsciously thought..."

"I'm sorry for offending Miss Wei."

Shen Yaoyao only panicked for a moment, then regained her composure. She raised her voice and said, "Sister, what I gave you is the common beaded face. Why do you want to slander me for nothing?"

As she spoke, she glanced at the maid next to her without leaving any trace, as if she was hinting at something.

The maid understood this and left quietly. The direction she took was exactly the way to Gu Tang's courtyard.

"Gu Tang, why are you bullying Yaoyao again?" Shen Chaomu had already seen Gu Tang, but there were only female guests there. He thought that if she didn't cause trouble, he would turn a blind eye.

Unexpectedly, she started doing it as soon as she arrived.
