In truth, after seeing Bai Lingtian, Gu Huanjing felt that he was not an evil person. In the past, he would treat Gu Hua Jing like that, because there was someone trying to interfere with his plans, and also because he was young and full of vigor.

Bai Lingtian was a person of few years of age, and his personality had become very calm and reliable due to his past defenses. With his handsome appearance and noble aura, it was not strange at all for him to be the dream lover of a girl in the capital.

If it was said that there was no such thing as what had happened before, then perhaps Gu Hua Jing really would be moved.

It's just that there's no if...

Gu Hua Jing suppressed the guilt in her heart and returned to the carriage.

This time, no one stopped her.

As the carriage passed by Bai Lingtian, the wind blew and the curtain of the carriage window was lifted. Through the gap in the curtain, Bai Lingtian saw a bitter smile flash across Gu Hua Jing's face …

His eyes slowly widened as he stared at Gu Hua Jing's carriage, which was moving further and further away, before it disappeared into the alleyway.

Why would she show that kind of expression? Could it be that she had her own difficulties as well? Did she have to say these heartless words to him?

When Bai Lingtian was on the border, he was known for being calm and insightful.

To defeat the nomads, he relied on his devilish tricks. However, with such a powerful mind, once emotions were involved, he would be like an ordinary person who fell into the lore of the mundane world.

Bai Lingtian thought about every word that Gu Hua Jing had said to her, and he was immediately enlightened.

That's right. Back then, the Bai Clan and Gu Clan had been provoked by someone to such an extent. Even if the two of them had feelings for each other, they wouldn't be able to prevent others from provoking them.

Gu Hua Jing was a girl, and an injured girl at that. She must have been scared, which was why she held herself back, refusing in every way.

Bai Lingtian felt that his guess was reasonable, and a wave of unwillingness to part from him surged in his heart.

What a patient girl she was. Was she afraid that someone would deceive her like Han Xizhi?

"Return to the estate."

In his eyes, the pain and confusion had already dissipated.

What replaced it was an unprecedented clarity and resolution.

If Gu Hua Jing was afraid, then she would let him clear away all the obstacles. When there was nothing else to stop him, then he would definitely regain the affection that belonged to him!

Gu Hua Jing did not know that a casual expression from her would change the mood of Bai Lingtian.

She continued to hold her head and smile wryly.

"What do you think would happen if I accidentally lost this badge?"

"Miss, don't be foolish. Even if the Fang family's old patriarch is a bit more terrifying, how many people would be willing to seek his guidance?"

"But I didn't ask …"

Gu Hua Jing sighed, "I just want to win that plate of silver. Why is it so troublesome?"

As expected …

Green Plum and Green Branch flattened their mouths at the same time, pretending that they did not exist.

Gu Hua Jing's face was full of sadness, not to mention becoming a disciple, but also that Third Prince's face …

She sighed again, "Tomorrow, I will invite Master to the Flowing Garden. I have a lot of things to do, so I have to ask for guidance from him."

The Fang family's poetry meet was very famous in the capital, not to mention that this time, there were also some of the Fang family's old grandpa's female students' gimmicks. This attracted even more attention.

Many of the girls who had not been invited all gritted their teeth in the mansion, hating that they would miss such a chance to show off.

However, when everyone found out that the one who had become the daughter of the Fang family's Old Master was Gu Hua Jing, who had caused an uproar because of their relationship, the Fang family's poem had completely become the focus of attention.

"That was personally chosen by my family's old man. With his vision, when did he make a mistake?" "This proves that the fourth lady of the Gu family is truly outstanding."

When asked by an outsider, Madam Fang had said so with a smile without exception.

She had indeed wanted to praise the Yao family, but Yao Fengyu had been too disappointing, and there was even a hint of the Fang family's old patriarch's false judgement, so how could she say anything else?

Thus, at this moment, Gu Huanjing's fame rose once again. She suppressed Yao Fengyu's title of talented girl, causing the matter of the marriage between the Bai Clan and the Yao Clan to become more subtle.

Originally, the future wives of the Bai Clan couldn't even compare to the previous wives of the He Li Clan. This Bai Clan didn't seem like they had a good eye for people.

"Pah!"

The teacup smashed to the ground, shattering into porcelain flowers.

Old Mistress White's face was dark as she pointed at Liang Ruyan with a trembling hand. Her lips quivered, and she held back her rage, not knowing where to start.

"How did you end up being a mother?!" Do you know what the person from the Yao family told me? If you say that you don't like her, you can just treat it as nothing. But now, Tian'er doesn't even know that we are going to marry the Yao Family. You actually publicly praise Gu Hua Jing, you have completely shamed me! "

Liang Ruyan was no longer the same old woman who would only lower her head to be scolded by the madame.

After Bai Lingtian returned to the capital, her status had risen greatly. Coupled with the fact that Yang Peipei had lost her power, her position in the Bai Clan could be said to be very high.

At this moment, Old Madam Bai was blaming everything on her. Liang Ruyan smiled inwardly.

Would Tian'er not know what the madame meant? He obviously knew about it, but the madame was unwilling to admit it.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law was wrong, but don't you know that Tian'er's character is very high, and she has to be the most outstanding in the poetry contest? Do you think that Tian'er did it on purpose?"

Liang Ruyan smiled slowly, "If Yao Fengyu's talent had been above Gu Hua Jing that day, Tian'er would have definitely chosen Miss Yao. Didn't you praise him in the past? Didn't you say that his personality was unmoved?"

Old Mistress Bai did not even manage to breathe. Her throat was blocked as she nearly rolled her eyes.

"How can it be the same?!"

"What's different? You're still counting on Tian'er to make a choice? If that was the case, how could Tian'er obtain His Majesty's green eyes? How can he have the status that our Bai Family has today? "

"…" Old Mistress Bai felt stifled in her chest. This daughter-in-law of hers was really becoming more and more capable! She had an excuse for saying everything now, so how could she continue to talk like that?

"Can't I talk about you now? How do you want me to explain this to the Yao family? The Yao family has already given up on this. If they don't show sincerity, this marriage will be over! "

"Mother, what are you worried about? Could the Yao family be the best? Tian'er had only acted based on her own heart, and they had already angrily come looking for her. How could it be that their own young lady was disappointing? Could it be that marrying Tian'er was not even comparable to Gu Hua Jing's return? How can I not be a laughingstock! "

Liang Ruyan's tone was firm, and for a moment, the Old Madam Bai was stunned. He felt that what she said was correct.

However, she had been searching for the Yao family for a long time and knew that it was the most suitable family for her. Furthermore, the old master's errands were inextricably linked to the Yao family.

Right now, the best method was to get married. Only then would the two families be inseparable and be able to advance and retreat together.

"Alright, alright. I can't beat you now, but as for Tian'er, hurry up and persuade her. It would be best if he personally made a trip to the Yao family to appease their anger."

When Old Madam Bai thought of how Yao Fengyu had actually lost to Gu Hua Jing, her heart was filled with displeasure. No matter how she once viewed Yao Fengyu, her heart had calmed down.

However, the engagement between the two families was inevitable. It was related to the interests of the two families, so it was fine. Let's talk about it after they get married into the sect.

Liang Ruyan agreed, but she actually didn't think that she could persuade him.

Tian'er had always had a good idea, but this time the Fang Family's Shishi Association's actions had already caused her to be unable to make heads or tails of it.

What she had said just now was just to fool the madame, but even she could not convince the madame herself.

Tian'er clearly loved and hated him, and if he was like this in the past, then even if Gu Hua Jing was truly talented, he would definitely not stand on her side in front of so many people.

Unless... Currently, Tian'er's feelings for Gu Hua Jing had already changed …

As soon as Bai Lingtian returned to his residence, he was immediately called over by Liang Ruyan.

He had been prepared for this, and he knew that the Yao family wouldn't let the matter rest.

"Mom, don't mind the Yao family. I never intended to marry Yao Fengyu."

Liang Ruyan frowned, "Then who do you want to marry?" Could it be that you want to marry Gu Hua Jing back? "

"…" Liang Ruyan had only said these words casually. Who knew that after she finished, not only did Bai Lingtian not immediately retort, a rare conflicted expression actually appeared on his face.

Liang Ruyan turned pale with fright. She couldn't even finish her sentence as she hurriedly held onto Bai Lingtian's hand, "Child, you can't, can you really think this way?"

"Again …" "Why not?"

"Of course not!"

Liang Ruyan had never expected that Bai Lingtian would actually have such a thought, and all thoughts of probing him vanished from her mind.

"Tian'er, you didn't like Gu Hua Jing so much in the past, but in order to avoid her, you've been separated for three years. Now that we've finally made up, how could you …"

Hearing his mother mention the past to him, a trace of pain appeared in his heart.

"I was wrong about the past. I was young and angry, and thought I could see a person clearly. Mother, I was wrong."

"That won't do!"

Liang Ruyan's voice suddenly increased in volume, causing Bai Lingtian to nearly jump out of his skin.

His mother had always been gentle and kind.

"How can Liang Ruyan not have a big reaction?" This won't do, Tian'er, no matter which family's girl you want to marry, your mother will do everything in her power to marry you. It's just that the Gu family won't do it, Gu Hua Jing … She can't! "

"Why is that?"

"Why?" Liang Ruyan glared at him, "Why do you think?" When you first got married, it was three years ago. The Gu family and the Bai family became like this, and now you want to marry Gu Hua Jing back? Do you think the Gu family is easy to offend? And where did you put the Bai Family?! "

Liang Ruyan spoke very seriously, and her expression was also as heavy as it had ever been.

"Tian, mom doesn't know why you changed so much, but there are some things that can't go along with what you want. Let's not talk about other things, do you think your grandmother would allow you to marry Miss Gu back?"

Seeing her son not say anything, Liang Ruyan also felt bad in her heart.
