Wei Wan felt the warm breath on Shen Chaomu's body and echoed with red ears: "Third Young Master, Gu Tang is really evil-minded. He made trouble at Yaoyao's banquet and even offended me at will."

"You must punish her severely."

Someone was backing her up, and the maid had already gone to Gu Tang's room to destroy the evidence. Shen Yaoyao was very confident. When no one was paying attention, she gave Gu Tang a proud look, which seemed both to show off and to ridicule.

Haha, you are really overestimating your capabilities.

Do you think you can defeat her by just saying a few words?

Gu Tang did not panic in the face of the three people's accusations. She pretended to be innocent and opened the box in her hand, her voice even more timid and a little aggrieved.

"But this is what Yaoyao gave me. Yaoyao's maid also specially told me to wear it to the banquet."

The wooden box engraved with auspicious clouds and the novel head and face inside are indeed exactly the same as those on Wei Wan's head.

Everyone looked at each other.

Especially Wei Wan, you know, she has only worn this hat twice, the first time was at the palace banquet a few days ago, and the second time is today.

An adopted daughter of the Shen family who was not favored came up with a headdress that was exactly the same as hers.

Wei Wan couldn't help but feel chills running down her spine, and she looked at Shen Yaoyao with a bit of suspicion. Not many noble ladies could go to that palace banquet, if she remembered correctly.

Shen Yaoyao has gone...

Opposite me, Gu Tang continued to talk.

"But I've never seen this style before. It must have cost a lot of money. I thought I couldn't let my sister spend the money, so I didn't wear it. Now I have it because I want to give it back to Yaoyao."

The girl's white and tender fingers were digging into the box tightly, her left arm was hanging with gauze, and her helpless eyes looked very pitiful.

Gu Tang used Shen Yaoyao's way of pretending to be pitiful to block her escape route. The dilemma of being exposed last time at Xie Guogong's mansion reappeared again today.

Shen Yaoyao didn't expect that Gu Tangxue was so smart that he brought the things over directly. How disgusting!

She covered her face and lowered her eyes, feeling sad and helpless.

"Sister, I know you are still complaining about Yaoyao, but the last time Wu Qianqian forced me with a knife, I was really too scared to help him do evil. I am really sorry."

"Third brother, sister Wan'er, please don't blame your sister. She should want to take revenge on me. It was me who did something wrong."

Last time, the bruises from the painting were found out, and she had to admit it no matter how unwilling she was, but this time it was different. As long as she was bitten to death by Gu Tang in revenge, no one would doubt her.

After all, Gu Tang has such a bad reputation.

Shen Chaomu couldn't bear to see the girl behaving so compromisingly. He narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to Wei Wan, "Miss Wei, this matter is still my fault."

"That day at the palace banquet, I saw that your headdress was very special, so I asked someone to find out and draw a pattern. I didn't expect that it was stolen by my unlucky adopted sister!"

"Please take care of me, Miss Wei."

When the brother and sister's words came together, everyone understood instantly and looked at Gu Tang with even more disgust.

Wei Wanxu helped the man up, feeling extremely distressed, "Third Young Master, how can this be your fault?"

"It can only be said that it is difficult to prevent domestic thieves. Some villains are born with bad intentions. You can't stop them from doing bad things."

Shen Chaomu smiled slightly, "I disciplined my sister for being unkind, thank you Miss Wei for your understanding."

After speaking, he took Gu Tang's arm, his eyes were no longer as humble and gentle as before, but had a sinister dark glow.

"come over."

Gu Tang did not stop Shen Chaomu's movements, followed him step by step, and left here obediently.

A deserted side hall.

Shen Chaomu narrowed his eyes, "Gu Tang, am I too kind to you that I dare to use such vicious tactics to frame Yaoyao today?"

"You should be lucky. If you hadn't been holding the recipe for beauty cream in your hand, I would have dealt with you severely the last time I was at Duke Xie's mansion."

"Cruel?" Gu Tang looked sarcastic, "When Shen Yaoyao used the beauty cream to claim credit, why didn't you say she was vicious?"

Shen Chaomu's eyes darkened, "You have done so many dirty things to Yaoyao, and the beauty cream is just the compensation you should give."

"Besides, you are a rich lady and have everything. Yaoyao is just the adopted daughter of the Shen family and she has nothing. As an elder sister, what can you do if you show some consideration to her?"

Gu Tang sneered, "But to the outside world, I am the adopted daughter of the Shen family. I wear Shen Yaoyao's old clothes, and I am forced to use charcoal fires to keep warm in the winter. My parents and brothers all regard me as their enemy..."

"This is what Third Brother said, I have everything?"

Shen Chaomu's eyes were full of contempt, "If Yaoyao hadn't agreed to take you back, you would still be digging soil and farming in the countryside. How could you have come into contact with the circles in Kyoto."

"And you are too greedy and insist on coveting things that do not belong to you."

The tone of giving was as if the girl had taken a huge advantage.

Gu Tang said slowly: "I was injured and almost lost my life trying to block the sword for you. Shen Chaomu, I don't owe you anything."

"So don't pretend to be great."

She touched her left shoulder near her heart. Under the fabric of her clothes, there was now an ugly scar on her flawless white skin.

One time when they went shopping, they happened to encounter someone fighting. Seeing that the sword was about to fall on Shen Chaomu, Gu Tang immediately stood in front of him without even thinking.

However, when she was stabbed in the chest and bleeding, she saw her third brother carrying Shen Yaoyao, who was just frightened, to the hospital in a panic.

Finally, a passerby sent her for treatment. The doctor said that if she had been sent a little longer, she would have been dead.

Shen Chaomu frowned, "You still have the nerve to mention it? If you hadn't taken the initiative to block the sword for me, how could Yaoyao be so frightened that she had a high fever for two days."

Now it seems that the people who were fighting at that time did not stab Gu Tang accurately and let Gu Tang die directly, and they would not have caused so many troubles later.

Gu Tang lazily said: "Why can't I mention it? I saved a white-eyed wolf who repaid kindness with revenge. Can't you regret it?"

Now she just wished she hadn't been reborn half a year earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stand here and accuse her righteously.

Shen Chaomu was stung by the girl's indifferent attitude, and his expression slowly darkened. He threatened in a low voice, "Don't change the subject."

"Let me tell you, the people attending Yaoyao's college entrance banquet today are all high-ranking officials. You'd better stay safe, otherwise, the Shen family will no longer have a daughter like you, and I won't have a sister like you."

Throw these words away and leave.

Gu Tang stared at his back. Although his clear eyes were smiling, there was a faint cold aura in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

*

After hearing the words from Aunt Zhao, Lin Lanshu, who had just received a distinguished guest, pressed her aching temples and said, "It's really unlucky. Fortunately, Chao Mu took care of it and didn't make a big deal out of it."

"You ask the servants to be more careful. As soon as they see Gu Tang, they will stop her and don't let her get close to the flower hall. If she insists on doing anything, she will be tied up and thrown into the woodshed."
