Chapter 10

The night has fallen, and the street lights at the gate of the governor's house are on again. The orange light is like tulle, lingering and charming.

Gu Qingzhou got out of the car.

Under the misty lights, everyone's eyebrows and eyes are gentle and kind.

The governor's mansion held a ball, and all the celebrities of Yuecheng aristocratic family were present. The venue in front of the gate has long been filled with all kinds of luxury cars, fragrant cars, BMWs and colorful clothes.

"Miss Qingzhou, Mrs Gu, this way, please." The accompanying adjutant also got out of the car, walked calmly and led the way, and regarded Gu Qingzhou as a guest of honor.

Gu Qingzhou nodded slightly, with a slender jaw and graceful posture, followed the adjutant into the door.

Cai Jingshu, the governor's wife, stood on the second floor, leaning casually behind the curtains, playing with light green rich tassels. Her eyes were always staring at the vehicles entering and leaving the gate. Her eyes were cold and soft, with a bone etching light.

When she saw the car sent by her family to pick up Gu Qingzhou came back, she smiled and smiled brightly.

Gu Qingzhou is coming!

"How dare you come!" The governor's wife said to herself, "since you have come, you will naturally have your good fruit to eat! How dare you threaten me, a country girl?"

She smiled quietly and had already had a clever plan against Gu Qingzhou, which made Gu Qingzhou not only dare not show her evidence, but also lose face.

The governor's wife walked downstairs slowly. Today, she wore a dark purple skirt, with the skirt sleeves swaying on the ground and swaying styles when walking, which crumpled her dignified and gorgeous style, perfectly integrated into one place and outlined the strong style.

Someone breathed in.

"This is the governor's wife? I can't see at all. She gave birth to five children for the governor." A man in his forties was holding a crystal goblet. The red wine in the goblet showed brilliant ripples, which stained his eyes. He stared at the governor's wife.

What a beauty. The appearance and manners of the famous ladies in Yuecheng are far less than those of the governor's wife.

It's a pity that such a noble woman can't be contaminated, otherwise she will be courteous when she dies.

The man's companion was also surprised and said, "she is the governor's wife! However, she only had two children, the second Young Marshal and the third young lady, and the others were not born to her. The first Young Marshal was born originally, and the other two young ladies were born to her aunt."

"Oh, no wonder..."

As the governor's wife went downstairs, the discussion stopped slowly.

Men are amazing and women envy. Everyone's eyes are on the governor's wife.

The dance hall of the governor's mansion is very large, which can accommodate 300 people. Several crystal chandeliers are complicated, and bits of broken awns fall on the smooth ground like a mirror.

In the luxurious hall, the band is ready. First, the ethereal music of the piano hovers beautifully.

The governor's wife is still charming, and the bright light is enough to force back the prosperity of the world, leaving only her graceful style.

When Gu Qingzhou stepped into the grand ballroom of the governor's mansion, he was also dazzled by the rich and brilliant, fragrant servant clothes and entered the cloud fairyland in a trance.

"Mummy, it's more exquisite than the largest dance hall in London. I hired a White Russian to be a pianist!" Gu Xiang was excited and his cheeks flushed slightly.

As long as she married into the Secretary's family, this luxurious pomp would be hers, and Gu Xiang's heart was hot.

"Yes, I'm here for the first time..." Qin Zheng was also stunned.

The Gu family can only be regarded as a middle-class family in Yuecheng, so they can't climb up to the top giants. Qin Zheng didn't see the grand feast in the governor's house. Today, it is still stained with the light of Gu Qingzhou.

When their mother and daughter looked at the dance hall in surprise, Gu Qingzhou had hired ting to walk in.

The adjutant led the three of them to the southwest seat. After sitting down, the uniformed waiter brought the red wine.

Gu Xiang took the lead in taking a cup.

Qin Zheng also received a cup.

Seeing that Gu Qingzhou also stretched out his hand, Gu Xiang said with a contemptuous smile, "can you drink wine? If you haven't seen the world, don't spoil things."

Gu Qingzhou smiled and took the crystal glass with a small hand as white as jade. He shook it gently and took a sip.

Gu Xiang Yijie: she looks like a wine taster. She doesn't make a fool of herself!

"Elder sister, is your hand no longer painful? I still care about whether I have seen the world. You are very kind to me." Gu Qingzhou smiles.

Gu Xiang was speechless, and the pain of her wrist being ignored came slowly after Gu Qingzhou's reminder. She took a breath and didn't know how to respond to Gu Qingzhou's sarcasm. She was very angry.

Then, guests came one after another. In the dance hall, men wore tuxedos and women wore long dresses.

The governor's wife greeted the crowd, but she never came to Gu Qingzhou and ignored Gu Qingzhou.

"Mom, why doesn't the governor's wife come and say hello?" Gu Xiang also saw that the governor's wife ignored them.

And they were looked around.

"Who is it?" Nine Chengdu are familiar with each other, and only Gu's mother and daughter are strange faces. People speculate about their identities one after another.

"I haven't seen it."

"Do you know them?"

The crowd shook their heads.

A famous lady said with a low smile, "the emperor has three poor relatives."

That is to say, Gu's mother and daughter three are unknown poor relatives of the governor's office.

The haughty women cast disdainful eyes and looked at them up and down critically.

Gu Xiang is a little anxious. She doesn't want to be looked down upon.

Qin Zheng didn't answer her daughter, but she also looked at the governor's wife frequently, hoping that the governor's wife could come and give them face.

Only attend to the boat, drink slowly, look leisurely, without half a minute of anxiety, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Then Gu Qingzhou heard three or four girls chatting behind her.

"Do you know why there is a dance today?" Asked a girl with a beautiful soft voice.

"Didn't you say that today is miss two's birthday."

"The second young lady is just a concubine. Why should she have such a big ball on her birthday? I haven't seen the second young lady for a long time. I heard that she is still studying in Britain and hasn't come back yet."

"Then why the ball?"

"My mother said that the fiancee of the second Young Marshal was coming today. It was the wife of the governor who brought her up."

Gu Qingzhou heard this, and Gu Xiang also heard it.

Gu Xiang was suddenly excited. Her cheeks were pink and tender. She naturally thought that the second Young Marshal's fiancee was her.

"Second Young Marshal's fiancee?" A girl's voice was sharp and unwilling to believe, "when did the second Young Marshal get engaged?"

"It's a baby kiss!"

"Speaking of it, I haven't seen the second Young Marshal for many years. Didn't he come back from studying in England long ago? Why didn't he show up?"

Gu Qingzhou pricked his ears when he heard this.

Gu Xiang and Qin Zheng are the same, and their mother and daughter know little about the governor's house.

"I've been back for five years." A man answered, "don't talk about you. You are the relatives and friends of the Secretary's family. You also said that you haven't seen the second Young Marshal for many years."

"He is so mysterious. Is he an official in the army of the supervisor?"

"It's common to work in the army. Why do you want to be mysterious and not see anyone?"

At this time, a voice inserted: "my elder sister and the eldest lady of the Secretary's family are best friends. She said that the second Young Marshal was actually ill for a long time..."

"What disease?"

Gu Qingzhou was a little distracted when he heard that he was ill.

She thought of the man yesterday.

During the interrogation, he was directly skinned. After skinning, he nailed the bloody man to the stake, and then he was excited to vent his fierce desire. Is he a patient?

Gu Qingzhou thinks he must be suffering from some kind of mental illness!

Maybe the young commander of the Secretary's family is also mentally ill and can't be seen by outsiders to provoke right and wrong, so avoid seeing others?
