Chapter 272 Collapse
Chang Zhen was not called Chang Zhen before, but she changed her name to Chang Zhen when Ning Guogong brought her back to the mansion.
It was winter, and the capital was snowing.
The first thing Ning Guogong did after leading Chang Zhen back to the mansion was to take her, who was only six years old, to meet Gu Changan.
"This is Chang Zhen, and she will be your sister in the future. Chang An must remember to treat her well!" Ning Guogong Chang Xun said to Gu Chang An with a gentle face.
At that time, Gu Changan was just in his early twenties, the age to show his sharpness.
Although the young man who has become an official in the court is still a little restrained, the light on his body still attracts the young Chang Zhen and can't move his eyes.
It's just that Chang Zhen didn't know what it was at that time, he just thought that this brother was very good-looking.
Because of having a good-looking brother, she felt that coming to this new mansion was not as scary as she imagined.
However, before she could imagine a bright future, meeting another person made her on guard again.
That woman is Mrs. Ning Guogong.
Her eyes are very beautiful, even though she is getting old, there seems to be no trace of age left in the corners of her eyes.
But... the way she looked at her made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Chang Zhen felt that she seemed to be...
Seeing through his disguise.
Obviously only six years old, she has already learned how to behave well in order to be cherished.
After all, the people here have no blood relationship with her at all. Although the Ning Guogong is kind and amiable, he is not his own grandfather after all. As long as she allows her temper to make people angry... she will be... mercilessly Drive out.
Just like that, the panicked Chang Zhen tentatively spent year after year in Chang Mansion.
Finally, she discovered the sincerity of Duke Ningguo in treating her.
It's just that Mrs. Ning Guo always keeps a distance from her. Although she has never felt sorry for her, Chang Zhen feels from the bottom of her heart that this old woman's eyes are too sharp.
As for her brother Chang An...
He seems to be very kind to himself, and he can promise her anything. When she smiled at him, he smiled at her.
Especially once, when Chang Zhen saw how indifferent Gu Changan was when getting along with others, Chang Zhen felt unspeakably sweet in his heart.
Look, her elder brother Chang An is only good to her!
In this way, her elder brother Chang An will not attract others! Then she can be with Brother Chang An all the time!
From the beginning to the end, Chang Zhen never thought that Gu Changan would marry a wife one day.
In her perception, she and brother Chang An are the real family.
Gu Changan... only belongs to her.
I thought life would go on like this, but Duke Ning passed away.
That day, she cried so hard that she passed out.
It's just not because of how sad it is...
It was the high walls she had built over the years that collapsed.
The sense of security that I finally built up began to disappear again.
In order to stay away from that terrible woman Mrs. Ning Guogong, in order to gain a good reputation for herself, and in order for her brother Chang An to pay more attention to her, she chose to take the initiative to go to Longhua Temple in Qinghe City to eat fast and pray for blessings.
She thought... When she came back, her elder brother Chang An would accept her thoroughly.
However, after she came back, she learned from Mrs. Ning Guo that her elder brother Chang An had gone to provide disaster relief.
She waited and waited, and finally the news of his return to Beijing came.
So, impatient, she immediately went to meet him.
Haven't seen her for many years, but her elder brother Chang An is even more dazzling!
It's just...he even attracted the attention of another woman!
Until later, Brother Chang An repeatedly reprimanded himself because of that woman!
Her brother Chang An... seems to be someone else's!
And from the way he looked at the woman, she felt that there was something in it that never belonged to her.
This woman who was killed halfway... how can she win the love of others!
But...but her elder brother Chang An has been completely bewitched by others.
Fortunately, she met someone.
Her name is Rong Yan, and she said she could help her get her brother Chang An back. She also said that she didn't like that woman either.
Look, I don't like one or two, so it must be the woman's problem!
She is not wrong!
She is rescuing her elder brother Chang An from the devil's lair!
As long as Brother Chang An wakes up! Will definitely appreciate her!
So under Rong Yan's step-by-step instigation, she coaxed Mrs. Ning Guogong and the Queen Mother to call the woman to Quanling Villa.
And then... her plan.
It was Rong Yan who taught her how to identify the poisonous wild mushroom.
At that time, she didn't know that this mushroom was poisonous, and that woman must have no idea!
Everything looks foolproof!
She wants to make that woman completely disappear in front of Brother Chang An this time!
…
"Are you satisfied with the play I played with you?"
Gu Changan's words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Chang Zhen's chest.
She raised her hand a little stiffly, and whispered in disbelief: "Chang...Brother Chang An?"
Gu Changan replied unhurriedly: "It used to be, but not now."
At this time, Chang Zhen didn't think about the deep meaning of the other party's words. She looked at Mrs. Ning Guogong and the Queen Mother standing side by side at the door with a dazed expression.
The two of them looked energetic at first glance, and those sharp eyes almost cut her to pieces.
"Mother... empress dowager... old lady... you two are awake? This is really... great..." Chang Zhen had never encountered such a thing before, and after forced a smile, she opened tremblingly. mouth.
At this time, the queen mother seemed to have lost her original benevolent appearance, and the aura that belonged to the top of the harem naturally pressed towards Chang Zhen.
Mrs. Ning Guogong and his wife on the side were full of sarcasm, and said word by word: "It's beyond my expectation that you can endure until now."
"Old madam, what do you mean... Zhen'er is ignorant... some don't understand..." Chang Zhen lowered his head, trying to hide all the anxiety on his face.
"Your thoughts about Chang An are clearly revealed. For his sake, you have suppressed your temper and kept it secret until now. It's just that...you completely went astray and attacked me and the Queen Mother. Fortunately, You Qing found out in time and made contact with us. We informed you, and put the secret medicine that can remove the poison of the mushroom in advance, so we avoided the poison of the mushroom. And... before you walked into this room, we rushed to the door behind you Outside. So...everything you said, we heard the truth. Therefore, everything you say now must not be mixed with any falsehood.. "
Mrs. Ning Guogong said so much in one breath, but very directly tore everything in front of Chang Zhen.
Every rebuttal Chang Zhen could think of was completely suppressed.
All her thoughts...all unclean thoughts...
I was thoroughly listened to by these people...
Especially her brother Chang An...
used to be... not anymore...
Chang Zhen suddenly understood what Gu Changan said just now.
He means…
He will never recognize her as a sister again!
"Brother Chang An, don't you want Zhen'er?" Chang Zhen instantly collapsed and rushed to Gu Changan's leg, trying to hug his leg in vain.
But Gu Changan just looked down at her, and then took a few steps back to avoid it.
Seeing this, Ruan Youqing bent down, and then slowly opened his mouth:
"Chang Zhen, no one in Ningguo's mansion has ever taken the initiative to reject you. It's you yourself, and you have never regarded them as family members. You have only regarded them as a big tree where you can live. However, you are not satisfied when you are on a big tree. Especially After I appeared, because of your strong possessiveness, you excluded me in various ways. Even if you exclude, you still can’t figure it out, and you have found the way that you can’t turn back.”
