Chapter 249 Gong Yuanzheng 36
Gong Yuanzheng wanted to say something in rebuttal, but Qingyue stopped him. It wouldn't be good to be too obvious, as it could easily lead to speculation.
"Is that food box for Young Master Jiao? We shouldn't delay him."
Shangguan Qian lowered her gaze to the lunchbox in her hand.
“I have prepared some food myself. Why don’t you all come to the Corner Palace for lunch?”
"Is what you made even edible?" Gong Yuanzheng asked with a look of disgust. "Don't let my brother get food poisoning."
Shangguan Qian ignored his words and suddenly put a hand to her mouth.
"No way, Sister Song has been in the Zheng Palace for so long, and she hasn't cooked or made soup for Young Master Zheng at all?"
Gong Yuanzheng's eyes were sharp: "Why does my wife insist on doing the work of servants?"
"You're not likable yourself, but you think everyone else is like you, only doing unnecessary things to please people."
Are all these people employed by the palace just there to do nothing?
Why hire someone if you have to do everything yourself?
No way, no way, Shangguan Qian doesn't think that just because she can cook, she's different from others, does she?
Shangguan Qian: "..."
She just had to say that one more thing.
Qing Yue smiled at Shangguan Qianyang, thinking, "Why bother making a fool of yourself?"
Shangguan Qian gripped the lunchbox tightly: "Young Master must be getting impatient, I'll be going now."
The two ignored her. Shangguan Qian brushed past them, and just as she was about to pass them, she stumbled and fell into Gong Yuanzheng's arms.
Gong Yuanzheng was startled and quickly stepped aside while holding Qing Yue.
"Are you OK?"
Gong Yuanzheng lowered his head and asked Qing Yue.
He meant to say that Shangguan Qian wasn't close to her, but seeing that Shangguan Qian was still there, he knew he couldn't go too far, so he changed his words.
Qingyue shook his head. He reacted quickly, preventing Shangguan Qian from succeeding and also avoiding any impact on her.
"Paji."
Shangguan Qian slammed hard to the ground, spilling the food from the lunchbox in her hand all over the floor due to the impact.
Blind?
She's the one who's in trouble!
She was lying on the ground, and Song Yueqing was being held and protected in his arms. Who was in trouble?
Open your eyes and tell lies.
If she hadn't heard his words and raised her head slightly from the ground, she would have thought that Gong Yuanzheng was asking her out of kindness. She never expected him to be asking Song Yueqing!
Qingyue walked up to her.
His feet were not far from where she was lying. Fearing that Shangguan Qian would do something naughty again, Gong Yuanzheng followed closely behind.
"After showing goodwill to Young Master Yu in the early stages, and then expressing her feelings to Young Master Jiao, what does Miss Shangguan want to do to Yuanzheng now?"
Qingyue looked down at the woman who had fallen and was in pain, her expression cold.
"You want all three young masters of the palace to fall for you?"
"Your appetite seems too big. Since you have been chosen to be the wife of the Corner Palace, you should do your job well and not covet others."
Looking at the scratches on her palms, Shangguan Qian's tears welled up instantly.
Gong Yuanzheng reacted quickly, dodging the attack while also pulling Song Yueqing away from her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen to the ground and could have pinned someone down on her.
She almost succeeded; it's probably impossible for her to use that skill again now.
Why did he ignore the delicate beauty and instead carry Song Yueqing aside?
He showed absolutely no mercy or tenderness towards women.
"No, I just lost my balance and tripped. Why are you misunderstanding me like this!"
"Misunderstanding?" Qing Yue sneered.
"Judging from the way you fell just now, you should have fallen forward. Why did you fall to the side and back? What else could it be but intentional?"
"How can you talk about misunderstanding?"
Shangguan Qian continued to argue, "But falling down was not my intention. How could I know which way I would fall?"
Qingyue said blankly, "You've already come up with your own excuse, so no matter what others say, it's useless."
"What are you still doing lying there? Do you expect any of us to help you up?"
Upon hearing the word "support," Gong Yuanzheng pulled Qingyue back a few steps, urging her not to get too close.
“You should cry in front of my brother. You have no manners of a lady of the palace. All you do is cry all day. I really don’t know why my brother chose you as his wife.”
Shangguan Qian knew that feigning helplessness would have no effect on these two people.
Put the food box away and carry it in your hand; the guards and maids will take care of the food on the ground.
"I'll redo it. I won't bother you two any longer."
After saying that, Shangguan Qian turned around and headed back the way she came, her face as black as ink.
Damn Gong Yuanzheng, damn Song Yueqing.
Once she gets rid of Gong Shangjiao, those two will pay the price!
After watching the person walk away, Gong Yuanzheng held Qingyue's hand and gave her another word of advice out of concern.
"I was there this time, but you must never get that close to her next time."
Qingyue chuckled and said, "Out here, would she dare to do anything to me so openly?"
"Who can say for sure?" Gong Yuanzheng said dismissively, "Look at her just now, she dared to throw herself at someone in public. If I hadn't dodged quickly, she would have landed on me!"
Who knows what she was trying to do with that gesture, whether she thought he would be gentle and considerate, or whether she wanted to get something from him.
Feeling particularly strong about her husband, Qingyue became increasingly satisfied with Gong Yuanzheng.
She didn't even need to lift a finger; he handled everything himself. He's a model of virtue!
The guards and maids walked back and forth, and many people witnessed this scene.
Shangguan Qian is about to become famous in the palace.
Even if she went to Gong Shangjiao to complain, saying that Gong Yuanzheng and Song Yueqing were targeting her, what could she do?
Rumors spread very quickly and may even change into multiple versions, so Shangguan Qian will ultimately not benefit from them.
Gong Zishang, Ye Zihan, Jin Fan, and Gong Ziyu, who had watched the commotion from afar, walked over.
Gong Zishang and Gong Ziyu were reminding Ye Zihan not to have too much contact with Shangguan Qian.
Shangguan Qian is too dangerous; they might not be able to outsmart her.
Gong Yuanzheng and Qing Yue looked at the four of them, having been watching for quite a while.
Gong Zishang exaggeratedly circled around Qing Yue and said, "She really is a great beauty, only slightly less beautiful than me."
Everyone: "..."
As expected of a young lady from a wealthy family, her skin is thicker than most people's.
Guessing who the person in front of him was, who else would dare to act like this in front of Gong Yuanzheng? Only that young lady.
"Young Miss." Qingyue nodded slightly to her.
"Just call me sister," Gong Zishang said with a smile.
Qingyue said obediently, "Sister."
Gong Yuanzheng pouted to the side; if he were to argue back, Gong Zishang would definitely make him call him that too.
As for Gong Zishang, he just didn't like her always siding with Gong Ziyu; he didn't have a bad feeling towards her.
"I never imagined that Shangguan Qian had ever been nice to Gong Ziyu." Gong Zishang looked at Gong Ziyu with a teasing expression.
Gong Ziyu pursed her lips, looked at her bride beside her, and began to explain.
“I had no private contact with her. It was in the dungeon, which is where you saw her.”
Ye Zihan: "I know."
Shangguan Qianyi was clearly very cunning. No matter who the target was, as long as she stayed at the palace gate, it wouldn't be surprising that she showed goodwill to all the young masters at the palace gate.
She just felt that Gong Shangjiao's standards were too low.
