I became the God Brother of the Regent King after Transmigration!-Chapter 168 - 114: When the First Snow Falls, You Can See Those You Miss

As Gu Lan finished speaking, the scene became rather awkward.

The surrounding officials looked at Lu Feifei with expressions full of change and complexity.

So, it turns out that the Second Miss Lu failed to win over Young Master Gu, and now she’s trying to put down County Princess Changle. The critical part is that even someone as accepting as Young Master Gu rejected her, indicating what kind of unpleasant woman she must be.

Lu Feifei didn’t expect Gu Lan to defend Rong Baoyi so much, leaving her momentarily stunned. Her beautiful eyes looked at her with both irritation and sadness, appearing somewhat delicate and pitiful.

No man could endure being looked at by a fragile girl like this.

Unfortunately,

She was not a man.

Young Master Gu was unmoved. Although she was willing to give every heartbroken girl a home, this did not include those who already had one.

In the end, it was Lu Bingxin who reacted first: "Young Master Gu is just joking, haha, County Princess Changle is truly admirable, not letting men surpass her!"

Gu Lan’s eyes were filled with coldness as she waved her hand: "Lord Lu, farewell."

Lu Feifei watched Gu Lan leave and withdrew her gaze.

She tightly gripped the wooden handle of the food box in her hand, her face alternating between green and white.

"Daughter, Young Master Gu is so arrogant and unruly, not someone you can control, and besides, she is infatuated with County Princess Changle." Lu Bingxin sighed and said.

"What use is her infatuation? It’s impossible for the Prince Rui Mansion and the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion to have any connections." Lu Feifei said in a low voice.

Lu Bingxin hesitated and said, "That’s indeed true. However, I’ve heard that Young Master Gu has quite a few concubine girls in her courtyard, and she is very unruly. I really don’t want you to marry her."

"The fact that she could save those ladies at the Mid-Autumn Banquet proves she’s righteous and kind-hearted; the fact that she came through an assassination attempt last night unscathed proves she’s skilled in martial arts. Such a man is worthy of my affection."

Lu Feifei bit her silver tooth, her face blushing, but she spoke with determination.

"I insist on marrying Gu Lan. Once I marry her, Princess Ning’an can give up, and my brother can marry her."

A few days ago, Lu Feifei’s elder brother Lu Rufeng, who was serving as the Second Prince’s companion at the Imperial Family, told her that he wished to marry Princess Ning’an and become the Prince Consort. But the Princess had her eyes on Young Master Gu.

Lu Feifei, at the Mid-Autumn Banquet, initially wanted to see what kind of person this Young Master Gu was, who had captured Princess Ning’an’s favor. Unexpectedly, it turned out that Gu Lan drove away the deranged concubine but saved the ladies at the banquet, including herself.

Until yesterday, she saw Young Master Gu teasing a group of Qiangrong people in the street, and her heart was completely captivated by Gu Lan.

Lu Bingxin sighed deeply: "Well, this matter needs to be carefully considered. Someday, I’ll have your mother send a greeting card to Madam Zhou at the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion."

Elsewhere, Rong Baoyi walked alongside Gu Lan as they strolled around the city wall roots.

"Young Master Gu is getting more and more adept at using me as a shield." Rong Baoyi said helplessly.

"Purely accidental. If you weren’t here, Baoyi, then it would have been this little maidservant of mine." Gu pointed at Geng Tao, "Besides, you are indeed my beloved sister."

Rong Baoyi: ...

"How old is that maid of yours anyway?" She glanced around and asked as if pondering, "Is Rong Heng not here?"

"He’s not here."

"No wonder," Rong Baoyi showed a knowing expression, "You can have many sisters, but only one brother."

She suddenly felt a coldness on her nose, looked up, and exclaimed in surprise: "It’s snowing. The snowfall is really early this year."

Gu Lan looked up, seeing that a light snow was quietly falling from the gray sky, extending a hand to catch the delicate, icy flakes as they gently landed on her fingertips.

This was the first snow of the year in Yan Country, and also the first snow since she came to this world.

Zipei hurried over from a distance to hold an umbrella for Gu Lan, and Geng Tao also came over with an umbrella to cover Rong Baoyi, but she declined: "Young Master Gu, you have an abundance of sisters; this little girl can’t be more than thirteen, right."

Hearing this, Geng Tao’s plain face blushed a bit: "I-I am the new maid of the Marquis Mansion, twelve years old this year."

Rong Baoyi chuckled: "You should hold the umbrella for your master. I still need to patrol the city gates later."

Zipei said, "County Princess, you don’t need to work so hard. This is the Capital City; no one would dare to commit crimes at the base of the Imperial City."

Gu Lan appraised Rong Baoyi. In just over half a month, the youthful face of County Princess Changle had tanned a bit, yet in a healthy way. Her bright black eyes were captivating, and she had gained a certain free spirit that ordinary girls lacked.
