The small flower hall of the Governor's Mansion was full of guests, including well-dressed ladies and gentlemen, as well as handsome and romantic sons, which was quite lively.

"If this was in the previous dynasty, who's concubine could be so pompous?" Gu Zhang whispered to Gu Ying quietly, "The world has changed!"

Gu Ying nodded.

Gu Hao said in an old-fashioned manner, nothing more than jealousy. A concubine in the military governor's mansion was stronger than them.

When they become wives in the future, they may not have such a style!

The two sisters sat, looking around for their prey, and found several handsome young men looking at them.

Especially looking after Gu Xiang.

Gu Xiang's face was slightly red, and he was secretly paying attention.

Then, Gu Zhang saw Gu Qingzhou and the fifth concubine come in together.

The fifth concubine is not the most beautiful woman, but she is gentle and jade-like, elegant and quiet.

Compared with the fifth concubine, Gu Qingzhou is a little more beautiful, the brilliant light of the crystal lamp falls in her eyes, her bright eyes reflect the light, and her own brilliance flows, which is extraordinarily bright.

Looking at it like this, Gu Qingzhou can be regarded as a delicate beauty.

I don't know if it's because of the light, or because she has grown up.

"Who is that?" Someone whispered, yearning for Gu Qingzhou's bearing.

None of the guests present had attended the last dance where the governor's house took care of Gu Qingzhou, so they didn't know each other, so they just said, "Is it a relative of the fifth concubine?"

"A relative of the fifth concubine, maybe a young lady from a poor family?" A nouveau riche man thought to himself.

Everyone knows that the fifth concubine's family is poor.

Since she is a young lady from a poor family, she can pursue to be a concubine, which is a romantic story in vain.

There were ripples in someone's heart.

The fifth concubine came in, and the banquet officially began.

Tonight's banquet is an old-fashioned one, with food and drink as the main focus. There are pingtan sing-alongs on the stage, squeaking.

The dishes are rich, but everyone still feels that something is missing.

Why do you have to let them dance, drink, and exchange feelings, otherwise, wouldn't it be in vain?

After the banquet, the table was removed as expected, and only long tables were placed around the flower hall, with drinks and snacks.

Pingtan's trickster also went down to join a Belarusian band.

Even if the dance begins.

Gu Qingzhou stood by the window in the southwest corner, holding the wine cup silently.

She deliberately paid attention to the movement outside.

Someone asked her to dance, and she refused.

"Miss, let's dance." A middle-aged man said with a lick of face, still unwilling to give up after being rejected.

Gu Qingzhou's eyes sank slightly, and he whispered with a smile, "Do you know who I am?"

Her eyes were gloomy, very like Si Xingpei, which she learned from Si Xingpei.

"Go away, or someone will kill you." Gu Qingzhou said indifferently.

The man was a little frightened by her, so he got out of the way.

The fifth concubine had already been surrounded by her relatives and asked for warmth, and had no time to accompany Gu Qingzhou.

"Sister Gu, why don't you dance?" Si Qiongzhi took a male companion's arm and walked towards Gu Qingzhou.

She introduced the male companion, "This is Qu Sanshao."

Then she said to Mr. Qu, "Three Young Masters, please do a dance with Sister Gu."

"No." Gu Qingzhou's eyes were quiet, but a few strands of cold light suddenly appeared on Qu Sanshao.

Mr. Qu was very aware of current affairs and knew that Gu Qingzhou didn't like him, so he smiled and walked away.

When Si Qiongzhi was about to leave, Gu Qingzhou took her hand: "Qiongzhi, let's talk for a while."

She pulled Si Qiongzhi and stood under the window sill of the flower hall, two people talking.

Si Qiongzhi was at a loss, probably because he was thinking of getting rid of her when he turned around, Si Qiongzhi was in a good mood and was extremely patient with Gu Qingzhou.

In particular, the watch in Gu Qingzhou's hand is a gold strap inlaid with a whole row of small diamonds. It is extremely luxurious, expensive, and dazzling.

Si Qiongzhi was in a better mood.

"This year's winter came very early." Gu Qingzhou and Si Qiongzhi exchanged greetings, "I didn't expect it to rain so much and it was freezing cold."

Si Qiongzhi didn't feel cold, she agreed with Gu Qingzhou's words.

Gu Qingzhou was full of these nonsense. He said that the rain was very cold, and then said that today's fish soup was too thick and not very tasty.

When Si Qiongzhi wanted to leave, Gu Qingzhou took her arm: "Qiongzhi, do you know which tailor's shop has a good looking cheongsam?"

Si Qiongzhi didn't want her to see the clue, so he endured and greeted her one by one.

"I only know that there is a shop that does a good job of cheongsam." Si Qiongzhi said.

While listening to Si Qiongzhi's words, Gu Qingzhou secretly paid attention to the movement outside.

She heard footsteps first, far away, but hurried.

Gu Qingzhou put his hand behind his back, gently took off the watch chain, took it off and put it in his hand.

Si Qiongzhi was still answering Gu Qingzhou's question: "The material must be crisp, so embroidery is the most test of Master's ability."

She said, Gu Qingzhou suddenly took her hand.

Si Qiongzhi was slightly surprised, and at the same time she heard footsteps, she was overjoyed: "Aba is here!"

There were many and complicated footsteps, walking towards the flower hall.

At the moment when Si Qiongzhi was distracted, Gu Qingzhou put the watch on Si Qiongzhi's wrist and fastened the bracelet!

"What are you doing!" Si Qiongzhi was shocked.

She never thought that Gu Qingzhou would be so upright and put the watch on her hand.

This watch cannot be worn!

Si Qiongzhi was so angry that she was on guard against Gu Qingzhou's conspiracy, but she didn't expect that Gu Qingzhou would come directly to conspiracy and swagger to kill Si Qiongzhi.

Si Qiongzhi was frightened and confused, but her wrist was a little plumper than Gu Qingzhou's, and the strap got stuck.

"This bitch, how can she do this, why doesn't she play tricks!" Si Qiongzhi was about to cry.

She calculated everything, even Gu Qingzhou would suspect that there was something wrong with the watch, and then calculated how Gu Qingzhou handled the watch.

Now that Si Qiongzhi has all the coping methods, she will definitely make Gu Qingzhou unclear.

However, the only thing she didn't count was that Gu Qingzhou was so blatant and put it on Si Qiongzhi's wrist!

So simple and rude, it disrupted Si Qiongzhi's plans, and Si Qiongzhi was completely panicked.

And the commander-in-chief has already stepped into the flower hall.

There was silence in the flower hall, and everyone looked at the commander in surprise.

Si Qiongzhi lowered his head and tried to untie his watch strap, which was particularly striking, and fell into the eyes of the commander-in-chief.

When the commander-in-chief saw the watch, the urgency and anxiety in his heart dissipated, and when his heart fell, he gave the adjutant a wink.

While the adjutant walked towards Si Qiongzhi, the commander-in-chief laughed loudly: "It's quite lively, everyone is here to celebrate the fifth concubine's birthday, it's very good."

His laughter relieved the depressed atmosphere in the room immediately.

At the same time, the two adjutants had already taken Si Qiongzhi away from the side door.

The fifth aunt was too puzzled and wanted to see what was going on, but she was stunned for fear of causing suspicion from the guests.

"What happened?" Fifth Aunt was confused.

The commander-in-chief walked up to his concubine, and the adjutant took out a brocade box, which he handed to his concubine: "Happy birthday."

As a result, the guests thought that the commander-in-chief came in a hurry to celebrate his concubine's birthday.

The fifth concubine took over the brocade box and said with a bright smile: "The Overseer has a heart."

After saying a few words, the fifth concubine said to the guests: "Everyone is dancing, don't be stunned."

When the atmosphere got up, the fifth concubine accompanied the governor and left from the side door of the flower hall. Her maid Xiuxiu and Gu Qingzhou also left.

Until the end, the fifth concubine did not come back.

The guests left the Overseer Mansion with their stomachs full of doubts.

The two sisters Gu Zhang also chatted and laughed with the two young masters. The other party even offered to send them back, but Gu Huang did not agree.

"Sister, why didn't you agree?" Gu Ying didn't quite understand, she felt that Gu Ying was missing a good opportunity.

Gu Zhang poked her forehead: "You are stupid, ladies and gentlemen have to be reserved! You are too casual, no one will take you seriously!"

Gu Ying seems to understand but does not understand.

Then, Gu Ying asked again, "Sister, where is Gu Qingzhou? She seems to be leaving with the fifth concubine, shouldn't we wait for her to come home?"

"What are you waiting for?" Gu Zhang was annoyed, "She will be a member of the Si family in the future, how can she still remember us?"

The sisters left, and the guests also left the table. No one thought that something big was happening in the outer study not far away.

More than a dozen personal attendants were closely guarded, and the commander-in-chief sat alone in the side hall of the study. Si Qiongzhi, Gu Qingzhou and others stood opposite him.

The commander-in-chief's face was quiet, his eyes were like a deep pool without waves, and the lamp in the study put a thin layer of light on his face, making his quietness appear solemn and majestic.

He silently looked at a watch.

This watch was taken off the wrist of Si Qiongzhi by the commander-in-chief with his own eyes.

"Abba, it's true. Sister Gu suddenly put it on my hand, it's not mine!" Si Qiongzhi explained, looking very anxious.

The commander-in-chief did not speak.

The fifth concubine also saw the problem at this moment.

This watch is unusual.

This was bought for her by her maid Xiuxiu, who said it was a thank you to Gu Qingzhou. It was also Xiuxiu's idea to send something to thank Gu Qingzhou.

The fifth concubine was too silent, her eyes circling back and forth on the faces of Si Qiongzhi and the governor.

"Qingzhou, where did you get this watch?" After a long while, the commander-in-chief finally raised his eyes, and the light in his eyes was soft.

"It's not mine, it's Miss San's." Gu Qingzhou said, "I can't afford such a watch."

The fifth aunt's heart changed sharply.

Although she didn't understand why Gu Qingzhou said that, but Gu Qingzhou refused to admit it, indicating that there was really a problem with the watch.

The fifth concubine thought that Xiuxiu bought the watch, and Xiuxiu deliberately led her and Gu Qingzhou to the outer study, and Xiuxiu's feet were exclaimed, and she deliberately alerted the adjutant to let the adjutant see them passing by.

Everything shows that there is a conspiracy!

Although Wuyitai didn't know why Xiuxiu was involved, she couldn't believe that Xiuxiu would betray her, but at this moment, Wuyitai decisively made up her mind.

"Abba, it's not mine!" Si Qiongzhi's rush has subsided, with a bit of helplessness, "It's really Sister Gu, she's wearing it on my hand, I'm still confused now."

At this time, the fifth concubine's maid, Xiuxiu, said, "Overseer, this is Miss Gu's, and the fifth concubine gave it to Miss Gu in person. I was there and saw it with my own eyes."
