County's main favorite wife
Chapter 30
Mother Li was telling the other two women about the confusion just now in the servant's room, vividly and wonderfully.Seeing Gu Li push the door open and come in suddenly, he hastily smiled and said, "Miss Li."
Gu Li also walked over with a smile, "Mother Li, I told you not to go too far. Obviously you didn't listen to my words." She put her hand on Mother Li's shoulder, and the mother Li who had suffered so much immediately Kneeling and kowtowing, he said: "Miss Li, spare your life! Miss Li, spare your life! This servant knows his mistake! This servant will never dare again!"
Gu Li looked down at Mama Li's humble appearance, she knew that as long as she left, Mama Li would dare to complain to the old lady.There is no need to pity such a slave.She raised her hand and pointed at the wind, and Mama Li felt as if an ice sword had been inserted into her back. It was not only cold, but also painful.She was in so much pain that she couldn't move at all.
"If you want to sue, just sue. Do you believe that I have the ability to freeze your whole body?" Gu Li sneered, showing his white teeth.
"Slave servant letter! Miss Li, please spare me!" Li's mother lay on the ground unable to move, and the two women next to her were too scared to come over, hugging each other and shivering.
"Don't worry, I won't die." Gu Li left these words when he left.
Gu Haozhi was invited home from the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, and as soon as he entered Huarongzhai, he heard the eldest lady talk about Gu Li's disobedience.He was also very angry.Immediately find the rough envoy to fetch him.As a result, the four rough envoys were kicked out shortly after they left.
"It's the opposite!" Gu Haozhi went to Qingxueyuan himself.He didn't believe that Gu Li dared to do anything to him.
Qingxueyuan.
Gu Li had just dispatched four vicious rough envoys, and now he is waiting for the next group of people to arrive.It was Gu Haozhi who came.
"Li'er, do you still understand the superiority and inferiority of elders and inferiors? If your grandmother is so angry that she faints, if this gets out, will your reputation still be lost?" Gu Haozhi is very smart, and he didn't yell for beatings and kills as soon as he came up. .He knew that if Gu Li was pushed to a desperate situation, there would be no chance for the matter to turn around.
Gu Li smiled, "Father, I, Gu Li, came to the capital alone. What reputation do I have? What you are worried about is the reputation of the Gu family, right?"
Gu Haozhi was a little embarrassed to be easily talked about.He pretended to cough, "Li'er, don't mess around. I didn't teach you well in the past, which made you so unruly. I will take care of this matter for you, and you will follow me to kowtow in front of the old lady. Old lady I cherish you, so I will definitely forgive you." No matter how much dissatisfaction Gu Haozhi felt in his heart, when he thought of King Rui, he could only put on a forgiving look.
Gu Li thought about it, and felt that it was meaningless to make things like this.After all, he is still in the Gu family, and these people are still his blood relatives after all.So he followed Gu Haozhi's suggestion and followed him to Huarongzhai.
Inside Huarongzhai, the female family members of the Gu family are all there.Even the second wife of the Gu family, Mrs. Guo, who Gu Li seldom saw, was there.The ladies of the Gu family, including Gu Xuan whose burns were still not healed, all stood aside politely and did not speak.Seeing Gu Li coming in, everyone in the room showed astonished expressions.They didn't expect that Gu Li would dare to come after causing such a big disaster?
The room smelled of soup.Because there are so many people, the light is not very bright.
Gu Haozhi walked to the old lady's bed and said softly: "Mother, I brought Li'er here. She already knew she was wrong, so she came here to make amends to you."
The old lady has recovered now, but after all she is old, so she was very angry just now.Already showing weakness.Gu Li stepped forward, bowed and said: "Grandmother, it's my granddaughter who is stubborn and doesn't understand the rules. Please forgive me, grandma." He kowtowed to admit his mistake, just kidding.She was right, how could she kowtow to admit her mistake?
Gu Li's indifferent attitude made everyone frown.Gu Haozhi kept giving Gu Li winks, but Gu Li just pretended not to see it.After saluting, no one spoke to her, and she didn't feel embarrassed, so she got up and stood aside, as if nothing happened.
Everyone looked sideways.
The old lady was so angry that she coughed.She waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I can't discipline you. Let your parents discipline you. They're all gone, I want to rest."
Everyone had to leave.Only Gu Yin stayed to serve the old lady.Gu Li was taken to his yard by Gu Haozhi, only Gu Haozhi and her were in the room.
"Kneel down!" Gu Hao said.
Gu Li blinked, trying to argue a few words, thinking that the person in front of him was his father, even if he knelt down, he should have.She knelt down obediently.
Gu Haozhi seemed very satisfied with Gu Li's reaction, "Tell me about your own mistakes."
Gu Li raised his head, looking up at the man sitting upright above him.This man is his father, does he know about the murder of his mother?She looked at Wu Siran next to her again, where is this woman?Does the mother's death have anything to do with her?
After not seeing Gu Li speak for a long time, Gu Haozhi said impatiently, "Say it!"
"My mistake was that I shouldn't have returned to Gu's house." Gu Li's voice was clear and sweet, and this sentence was like a heavy hammer hitting Gu Haozhi's heart.
"What did you say? Say it again!" Gu Haozhi was so angry that his hands shook.
"At the beginning, the old lady came forward and begged me to go back to the Gu family. I thought it was to give my mother a place to stay. As for the Gu family, it doesn't matter to me. After entering the Gu family, you are in trouble everywhere, and I don't care. But I am not allowed to go out for What? The old lady has been thinking about marrying me, and I'm afraid she has already agreed. Did your Gu family want me to come back just to marry someone? Father, today my daughter made it clear that I have devoted my whole life to martial arts, and I have never married Human thoughts. Whether I am in the Gu family or not, no one can force me to marry. If my father also has this intention, he might as well stop this idea earlier. In this way, we can still leave some flesh and blood for you, my father and daughter."
Gu Li's words directly hit the most painful place in Gu Haozhi's heart.If it wasn't for Gu Li to marry into Prince Rui's Mansion, why did he marry a spiritual bit back?From the first time he met Gu Li, he had high hopes for this daughter.The future prosperity of the Gu family depends on her.But she was the first to rebel.A woman, hasn't she learned the three obediences and four virtues?At home from the father.How could this girl dare to directly contradict her father's words?
Gu Haozhi was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked him without even thinking about it.If this kicks in, how can an ordinary daughter's family stand it?
Gu Li could see clearly, and his heart turned cold.She got up and backed away, dodging the kick.
"How dare you hide!" Gu Haozhi's two sons and two daughters, he had taught them the same way when their sons were naughty, and no one had ever dared to hide.The elders taught me that even if the strike is serious, it is the deepest love and the deepest responsibility.If you hide, you are disrespecting your elders and not knowing the rules.
"Father is so angry, I'm afraid the daughter told me what's on his mind?" Gu Li sneered, "Is it true that he asked me to come back to get me married?"
Gu Haozhi's face turned ashen.He can tolerate Gu Li's disobedience, he can tolerate Gu Li's lack of rules, but he can't tolerate Gu Li's refusal to marry.With such a good appearance, what's the use of not getting married?If he can't contribute to the future of the Gu family, what's the use of him recognizing this daughter?
"Come here, restrain Miss Li from Qingxueyuan, and not allow her to leave the courtyard without permission!" Gu Haozhi said angrily.
Gu Li was funny, but he didn't add fuel to the fire to expose it, and followed the maid who came in to lead the way and went out.
Wu Siran remained silent until now.To be honest, she was shocked by Gu Li's arrogant attitude.Never before has a daughter dared to act like this in the Gu family who valued rules the most.Gu Li did this, but he was only fined and grounded.However, everyone knew that Gu Li couldn't be restrained by that courtyard gate at all, and he left as soon as he wanted, without any hesitation.
Her husband still valued Gu Li's face.He valued Gu Li's position in King Rui's heart.It is conceivable that if Gu Li really married into Prince Rui's Mansion in the future, where would the Gu family have a foothold for their mother and daughter?
"How does Madam think about this matter?" After Gu Li left, Gu Haozhi sat on a chair with a dejected expression.
Wu Siran frowned and said: "Master, Gu Li is so unbearable, how can he represent our Gu family to marry into Prince Rui's Mansion? Marrying like this may bring trouble to the Gu family in the future."
Gu Haozhi nodded. "I thought so too. I really didn't expect Gu Li to be so shameless. It seems that we have to think long-term about getting married. This is not just marrying a daughter, but also the face of our Gu family. In this way, I will go Talk to King Rui, and you also go to find out what Concubine Xian is saying."
"I know." Wu Siran found that things were moving in a direction favorable to her. "Master, even if Gu Li doesn't marry in the future, it won't matter after all if he is so confident."
Gu Haozhi nodded. "Yes, but this girl is good at martial arts, no one in our Gu family can match her."
Wu Siran pursed her lips, a hint of sinisterness flashed in her eyes. "Master, what does a girl want martial arts for? I think Gu Li has learned martial arts, and that's why she had such unreasonable thoughts. If she didn't have martial arts, maybe she would be much better-behaved."
Gu Haozhi raised his head, "Madam means..."
Wu Siran smiled and said, "I'm just talking casually."
Gu Li was brought back to Qingxueyuan, and Jiang Mi was relieved to see her back. "Miss, you are not in trouble, are you?"
"How can they make things difficult for me? But this Gu family, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay any longer." Gu Li looked around the room, after all, he was used to living in the room for more than a month.Unexpectedly, I have to move again.
"Wherever the lady goes, the maidservant will go." Jiang Mi was completely devoted to Gu Li at the moment, there would never be another such handsome lady in the world.
"Pack up your things, so as not to be in a hurry when you leave."
Prince Rui's Mansion, study room.
Gu Haozhi was sitting on a good rosewood chair drinking tea, Rui Wang Chengjie was wearing ordinary clothes, and said with a smile: "Uncle, after all, Cousin Li didn't grow up in the mansion, and the rules may be a bit worse. But I don't care about it." .I also ask my uncle and the family to take care of her more. When the king finds a suitable time to tell his father, he will marry Li cousin into the mansion as a side concubine."
"My lord, Li'er is my daughter no matter what. This minister treats her no differently from Yin'er and Xuan'er. But she...she is really disrespectful. My lord, if it wasn't for Li'er, it would be out of character, Wei I won't show my family's ugliness to the outside world." After hearing Wu Siran's words, Gu Haozhi felt that Gu Li was hard to control.This is not the only daughter he has, the same goes for sending Gu Yin or Gu Xuan into the mansion.
Cheng Jie shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Uncle's words made me sad. I am your junior, so how can I be an outsider? Everyone in the court knows the rules of the Gu family. My cousin was born in the world, so I am not used to restraint." , this king just likes her frankness. Uncle, you don't have to worry too much. In the future, this king will definitely treat cousin Li kindly. But before that, please be more patient with cousin Li."
Gu Haozhi really couldn't see why Cheng Jie cared so much about Gu Li?If it was just because of Gu Li's appearance, the nobles of the Tian family had seen countless beauties, and Cheng Jie was not a lustful person, so it shouldn't be the case.What else could be the reason?For a woman like Gu Li who was so rebellious, Cheng Jie didn't hesitate at all.Thinking of this, he still has a lot to say, but it is inconvenient to say it again.
Cheng Jie saw Gu Haozhi leave, and when he walked to the door of the study, he said: "Uncle, my cousin Li was born in Feiyejin Academy, so my uncle must know where it is. But I still want to say something, Feiyejin Academy is not a good place. The place of provocation, I heard that my cousin's status in the academy is not low, so you should think twice about doing things in the family."
Gu Haozhi knew that Feiyejin Academy was a college that specially recruited girls, but he didn't know much about it other than that.Hearing what King Rui said, his heart moved.After he returned home, he immediately sent someone to inquire about the situation of Feiyejin Academy.
Imperial Palace, Yuehua Palace.
This is the bedroom of Concubine Wu Youran.Wu Siran specially went to the palace today to see his sister, and now he is wiping away his tears with a handkerchief while telling about Gu Li's various evil deeds.
Wu Youran couldn't help frowning after hearing this. "According to what you say, this Gu Li is really a worry. In the past, she was only regarded as a little bad manners, but I didn't expect her to be so disobedient!"
"Isn't it?" Wu Siran wiped his tears with a handkerchief. "Our old lady has fainted from her anger. Now she relies on her martial arts skills to run amok in the Gu family. With the support of Princess Feng'an, we can only let her torment."
Wu Youran had heard his son Cheng Jie talk about marrying Gu Li as his side concubine before, so he was originally not satisfied with this choice.If you want to get closer to the Gu family, you can marry Gu Yin or Gu Xuan, why marry a wild girl who just came back?But the son is already an adult, and the concubine can only persuade her, and there is nothing the son can do if he doesn't listen to her.After all, for the rest of her life, she still counted on the mother to be more expensive than the child.
"Sister, I didn't mean you, a little girl made you helpless? How did you manage to be the mistress for so many years?" My sister knew it herself.Wu Siran has never been a character easy to bully.
Wu Siran said aggrievedly: "Ma'am, from the time I married Yao Chuxue, I have no room for me to speak at all. The old lady and the master are determined to let Gu Li return to the Gu family. I know, their mother and son are interested in it." It's Gu Li's face." Wu Siran felt a little annoyed when he said this.
Wu Youran waved the round fan in his hand slowly, and said with a light smile, "So now that Gu Li has tossed the Gu family like this, you're really relieved, right?"
Wu Siran raised her head and glanced at her sister, she no longer pretended to wipe her tears when she was poked at the center, she put down her veil and said, "Isn't it? At the beginning, I tried to persuade the master not to recognize Gu Li, so as not to become the laughing stock of the capital, but The master just doesn't listen. Now it's a good thing, I have come back to recognize a hot trouble, but I still can't get rid of it, seeing the Gu family being tossed to their feet by Gu Li, of course I am very happy." Wu Siran had a vengeful smile on his face. "But empress, what about after the happy time? I have to get rid of the trouble of Gu Li. Otherwise, she will directly bring down the reputation of the young ladies of the Gu family. What will happen to my two daughters then?"
"I heard that the Eldest Princess wants to take Gu Li as a righteous daughter, has the family not agreed to this matter?" Wu Youran did not continue the previous topic.
Wu Siran nodded. "It is estimated that the old lady was afraid that Gu Li would be more disobedient after having the backing of the eldest princess, so she refused."
The round fan in Wu Youran's hand lightly tapped Wu Siran's forehead. "Confused! The eldest princess recognizes Gu Li, which is good for your Gu family. The Gu family refuses, and if you offend the eldest princess, the emperor must know about it. What will the emperor think of your Gu family? The benefits of letting go Don't bother, what is your Gu family planning?"
Facing Wu Youran's questioning, Wu Siran only felt cold sweat running down his back. "Your Majesty, you...you mean...the emperor will be suspicious of the Gu family?"
Wu Youran sighed. "The family is also a famous family. How can you be so thoughtless? You only want to control Gu Li and let her be a good chess piece. You don't go out to inquire. Gu Li came from Feiyejin Academy, a place where he was taught. People, who will become someone else's pawns?" She patted Wu Siran on the shoulder, "It's fine if she doesn't treat you as pawns. Sister, we are our own family, listen to my sister's advice, if you can't do it with Gu Li, If you greet her with a smile, then stay at a respectful distance and don’t provoke her. You must not stop the eldest princess’ confession, or you will cause trouble.”
"Sister!" Wu Siran was unconvinced, "Am I going to be bullied by a little girl? I can't take it anymore!"
"You can't bear it with such a little anger?" Wu Youran's eyes were sharper, "Sister, remember, if you want to be a master, you must be able to bear it."
Wu Siran lowered his head and did not speak, his face was full of unwillingness but he accepted the opinion, which made Wu Youran feel a little soft-hearted.I am just such a younger sister, of course I hope her life will be better.
"Sister, last time you proposed replacing Gu Li with Yin'er, I told King Rui about it. However, he refused." Seeing Wu Siran's disappointed eyes, Wu Youran continued: "Yin'er is my niece, I am satisfied with her. It is a pity that King Rui disagrees. The child is too big to help her, and I, as a mother and concubine, can't help it."
Wu Siran was silent for a while before saying: "I know that the empress has tried her best. Alas! It is my Yin'er who is not blessed."
"If you don't worry, I will pay attention to Yin'er's marriage. I must find her a royal family member." Wu Youran said.
Wu Siran forced a smile.That daughter of hers only wanted to marry King Rui. "Thank you ma'am."
After returning home, Gu Haozhi went to the old lady's Huarongzhai.He told the old lady what King Rui meant, and the old lady understood that what King Rui meant was to make the Gu family treat Gu Li kindly.
"It seems that King Rui already knows about our family. Since he said so, if we punish Li'er again, it will be disrespectful to King Rui." The old lady sighed. "This girl is favored by Princess Feng'an and protected by King Rui, so let's bear with it for now. No matter what, her surname is always Gu. Boss, you should try to pay attention to the situation with King Rui as soon as possible. It would be better to marry off Li'er."
Gu Haozhi nodded, "Son understands. Mother, how about we avoid Li'er's grounding?"
The old lady closed her eyes wearily, "The nobleman has already spoken, who dares to restrain her feet? I just hope that she can understand our painstaking efforts in the future, keep some rules, and don't make it difficult for us."
"Yeah, I hope she will be sensible in the future." Gu Haozhi also felt a little headache when he mentioned Gu Li.
At this point, the matter of Gu Li making a big fuss about Gu's family was brought up again and again, but then gently dropped.A few days later, Gu Li was ready to go out.
Qingxueyuan.
Gu Li was a little surprised by such a change.But she didn't care about these things.After tearing up with the Gu family, her daily greetings became more and more perfunctory, but the old lady didn't complain anymore.Originally, he had already packed his things and was about to be swept out, but now Gu Li asked Jiang Mi to put them back away.
"Miss, why did the Gu family suddenly change?" Jiang Mi was puzzled.
Gu Li's hand lightly tapped on the table, and asked after hearing the words: "You said that the Gu family must recognize me, what is the purpose of coming back?"
Jiang Mi thought for a while, "Miss is worried that the Gu family has other plans?"
"It's not worrying. It's affirmative." Gu Li smiled, "Look at the family status of the Gu family, there is no shortage of daughters, and they have such an attitude towards me. What are they trying to do? I am a commoner woman, what is there to do? Favored by the precious family?"
"Miss is such a beauty, how many people are there in the world?" Jiang Mi wanted to support his forehead.My young lady is good at everything, but she doesn't have a clear understanding of her face.
Of course Gu Li thought about this reason.She felt that a family like the Gu family should play some high-level tricks.If it was just for her to get married, to be honest, she would be very disappointed.
Qin Qi didn't come to Gu's house all day today, Gu Li was a little strange.After dinner, Gu Li took Jiang Mi to the Eldest Princess' Mansion.
Seeing Gu Li coming, the eldest princess shook her head and said, "Li'er, are you here to see Qiqi?"
Gu Li nodded. "I'm used to seeing Qiqi every day, but if I didn't see it today, I couldn't help but come and have a look."
The eldest princess saw Jiangmi following behind her, "It seems that he didn't come out over the wall this time."
"Grandmother has lifted my confinement." Gu Li explained casually, but he was even more surprised when the eldest princess asked her to go to Kangyuan. "Your Highness, is Qiqi there?"
The eldest princess was a little confused: "Qiqi has already rested."
Gu Li raised his eyebrows. "Your Highness..."
The eldest princess interrupted Gu Li with a wave of her hand, "Li'er, I know you treat Qi Qi very dearly. But there are some things that you shouldn't ask since you haven't figured it out. There are so many meritorious families in this capital, so you can mess with them casually." Either one of them may cause you to be killed."
Gu Li also walked over with a smile, "Mother Li, I told you not to go too far. Obviously you didn't listen to my words." She put her hand on Mother Li's shoulder, and the mother Li who had suffered so much immediately Kneeling and kowtowing, he said: "Miss Li, spare your life! Miss Li, spare your life! This servant knows his mistake! This servant will never dare again!"
Gu Li looked down at Mama Li's humble appearance, she knew that as long as she left, Mama Li would dare to complain to the old lady.There is no need to pity such a slave.She raised her hand and pointed at the wind, and Mama Li felt as if an ice sword had been inserted into her back. It was not only cold, but also painful.She was in so much pain that she couldn't move at all.
"If you want to sue, just sue. Do you believe that I have the ability to freeze your whole body?" Gu Li sneered, showing his white teeth.
"Slave servant letter! Miss Li, please spare me!" Li's mother lay on the ground unable to move, and the two women next to her were too scared to come over, hugging each other and shivering.
"Don't worry, I won't die." Gu Li left these words when he left.
Gu Haozhi was invited home from the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, and as soon as he entered Huarongzhai, he heard the eldest lady talk about Gu Li's disobedience.He was also very angry.Immediately find the rough envoy to fetch him.As a result, the four rough envoys were kicked out shortly after they left.

Gu Haozhi nodded. "Yes, but this girl is good at martial arts, no one in our Gu family can match her."
Wu Siran pursed her lips, a hint of sinisterness flashed in her eyes. "Master, what does a girl want martial arts for? I think Gu Li has learned martial arts, and that's why she had such unreasonable thoughts. If she didn't have martial arts, maybe she would be much better-behaved."
Gu Haozhi raised his head, "Madam means..."
Wu Siran smiled and said, "I'm just talking casually."
Gu Li was brought back to Qingxueyuan, and Jiang Mi was relieved to see her back. "Miss, you are not in trouble, are you?"
"How can they make things difficult for me? But this Gu family, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay any longer." Gu Li looked around the room, after all, he was used to living in the room for more than a month.Unexpectedly, I have to move again.
"Wherever the lady goes, the maidservant will go." Jiang Mi was completely devoted to Gu Li at the moment, there would never be another such handsome lady in the world.
"Pack up your things, so as not to be in a hurry when you leave."
Prince Rui's Mansion, study room.
Gu Haozhi was sitting on a good rosewood chair drinking tea, Rui Wang Chengjie was wearing ordinary clothes, and said with a smile: "Uncle, after all, Cousin Li didn't grow up in the mansion, and the rules may be a bit worse. But I don't care about it." .I also ask my uncle and the family to take care of her more. When the king finds a suitable time to tell his father, he will marry Li cousin into the mansion as a side concubine."
"My lord, Li'er is my daughter no matter what. This minister treats her no differently from Yin'er and Xuan'er. But she...she is really disrespectful. My lord, if it wasn't for Li'er, it would be out of character, Wei I won't show my family's ugliness to the outside world." After hearing Wu Siran's words, Gu Haozhi felt that Gu Li was hard to control.This is not the only daughter he has, the same goes for sending Gu Yin or Gu Xuan into the mansion.
Cheng Jie shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Uncle's words made me sad. I am your junior, so how can I be an outsider? Everyone in the court knows the rules of the Gu family. My cousin was born in the world, so I am not used to restraint." , this king just likes her frankness. Uncle, you don't have to worry too much. In the future, this king will definitely treat cousin Li kindly. But before that, please be more patient with cousin Li."
Gu Haozhi really couldn't see why Cheng Jie cared so much about Gu Li?If it was just because of Gu Li's appearance, the nobles of the Tian family had seen countless beauties, and Cheng Jie was not a lustful person, so it shouldn't be the case.What else could be the reason?For a woman like Gu Li who was so rebellious, Cheng Jie didn't hesitate at all.Thinking of this, he still has a lot to say, but it is inconvenient to say it again.
Cheng Jie saw Gu Haozhi leave, and when he walked to the door of the study, he said: "Uncle, my cousin Li was born in Feiyejin Academy, so my uncle must know where it is. But I still want to say something, Feiyejin Academy is not a good place. The place of provocation, I heard that my cousin's status in the academy is not low, so you should think twice about doing things in the family."
Gu Haozhi knew that Feiyejin Academy was a college that specially recruited girls, but he didn't know much about it other than that.Hearing what King Rui said, his heart moved.After he returned home, he immediately sent someone to inquire about the situation of Feiyejin Academy.
Imperial Palace, Yuehua Palace.
This is the bedroom of Concubine Wu Youran.Wu Siran specially went to the palace today to see his sister, and now he is wiping away his tears with a handkerchief while telling about Gu Li's various evil deeds.
Wu Youran couldn't help frowning after hearing this. "According to what you say, this Gu Li is really a worry. In the past, she was only regarded as a little bad manners, but I didn't expect her to be so disobedient!"
"Isn't it?" Wu Siran wiped his tears with a handkerchief. "Our old lady has fainted from her anger. Now she relies on her martial arts skills to run amok in the Gu family. With the support of Princess Feng'an, we can only let her torment."
Wu Youran had heard his son Cheng Jie talk about marrying Gu Li as his side concubine before, so he was originally not satisfied with this choice.If you want to get closer to the Gu family, you can marry Gu Yin or Gu Xuan, why marry a wild girl who just came back?But the son is already an adult, and the concubine can only persuade her, and there is nothing the son can do if he doesn't listen to her.After all, for the rest of her life, she still counted on the mother to be more expensive than the child.
"Sister, I didn't mean you, a little girl made you helpless? How did you manage to be the mistress for so many years?" My sister knew it herself.Wu Siran has never been a character easy to bully.
Wu Siran said aggrievedly: "Ma'am, from the time I married Yao Chuxue, I have no room for me to speak at all. The old lady and the master are determined to let Gu Li return to the Gu family. I know, their mother and son are interested in it." It's Gu Li's face." Wu Siran felt a little annoyed when he said this.
Wu Youran waved the round fan in his hand slowly, and said with a light smile, "So now that Gu Li has tossed the Gu family like this, you're really relieved, right?"
Wu Siran raised her head and glanced at her sister, she no longer pretended to wipe her tears when she was poked at the center, she put down her veil and said, "Isn't it? At the beginning, I tried to persuade the master not to recognize Gu Li, so as not to become the laughing stock of the capital, but The master just doesn't listen. Now it's a good thing, I have come back to recognize a hot trouble, but I still can't get rid of it, seeing the Gu family being tossed to their feet by Gu Li, of course I am very happy." Wu Siran had a vengeful smile on his face. "But empress, what about after the happy time? I have to get rid of the trouble of Gu Li. Otherwise, she will directly bring down the reputation of the young ladies of the Gu family. What will happen to my two daughters then?"
"I heard that the Eldest Princess wants to take Gu Li as a righteous daughter, has the family not agreed to this matter?" Wu Youran did not continue the previous topic.
Wu Siran nodded. "It is estimated that the old lady was afraid that Gu Li would be more disobedient after having the backing of the eldest princess, so she refused."
The round fan in Wu Youran's hand lightly tapped Wu Siran's forehead. "Confused! The eldest princess recognizes Gu Li, which is good for your Gu family. The Gu family refuses, and if you offend the eldest princess, the emperor must know about it. What will the emperor think of your Gu family? The benefits of letting go Don't bother, what is your Gu family planning?"
Facing Wu Youran's questioning, Wu Siran only felt cold sweat running down his back. "Your Majesty, you...you mean...the emperor will be suspicious of the Gu family?"
Wu Youran sighed. "The family is also a famous family. How can you be so thoughtless? You only want to control Gu Li and let her be a good chess piece. You don't go out to inquire. Gu Li came from Feiyejin Academy, a place where he was taught. People, who will become someone else's pawns?" She patted Wu Siran on the shoulder, "It's fine if she doesn't treat you as pawns. Sister, we are our own family, listen to my sister's advice, if you can't do it with Gu Li, If you greet her with a smile, then stay at a respectful distance and don’t provoke her. You must not stop the eldest princess’ confession, or you will cause trouble.”
"Sister!" Wu Siran was unconvinced, "Am I going to be bullied by a little girl? I can't take it anymore!"
"You can't bear it with such a little anger?" Wu Youran's eyes were sharper, "Sister, remember, if you want to be a master, you must be able to bear it."
Wu Siran lowered his head and did not speak, his face was full of unwillingness but he accepted the opinion, which made Wu Youran feel a little soft-hearted.I am just such a younger sister, of course I hope her life will be better.
"Sister, last time you proposed replacing Gu Li with Yin'er, I told King Rui about it. However, he refused." Seeing Wu Siran's disappointed eyes, Wu Youran continued: "Yin'er is my niece, I am satisfied with her. It is a pity that King Rui disagrees. The child is too big to help her, and I, as a mother and concubine, can't help it."
Wu Siran was silent for a while before saying: "I know that the empress has tried her best. Alas! It is my Yin'er who is not blessed."
"If you don't worry, I will pay attention to Yin'er's marriage. I must find her a royal family member." Wu Youran said.
Wu Siran forced a smile.That daughter of hers only wanted to marry King Rui. "Thank you ma'am."
After returning home, Gu Haozhi went to the old lady's Huarongzhai.He told the old lady what King Rui meant, and the old lady understood that what King Rui meant was to make the Gu family treat Gu Li kindly.
"It seems that King Rui already knows about our family. Since he said so, if we punish Li'er again, it will be disrespectful to King Rui." The old lady sighed. "This girl is favored by Princess Feng'an and protected by King Rui, so let's bear with it for now. No matter what, her surname is always Gu. Boss, you should try to pay attention to the situation with King Rui as soon as possible. It would be better to marry off Li'er."
Gu Haozhi nodded, "Son understands. Mother, how about we avoid Li'er's grounding?"
The old lady closed her eyes wearily, "The nobleman has already spoken, who dares to restrain her feet? I just hope that she can understand our painstaking efforts in the future, keep some rules, and don't make it difficult for us."
"Yeah, I hope she will be sensible in the future." Gu Haozhi also felt a little headache when he mentioned Gu Li.
At this point, the matter of Gu Li making a big fuss about Gu's family was brought up again and again, but then gently dropped.A few days later, Gu Li was ready to go out.
Qingxueyuan.
Gu Li was a little surprised by such a change.But she didn't care about these things.After tearing up with the Gu family, her daily greetings became more and more perfunctory, but the old lady didn't complain anymore.Originally, he had already packed his things and was about to be swept out, but now Gu Li asked Jiang Mi to put them back away.
"Miss, why did the Gu family suddenly change?" Jiang Mi was puzzled.
Gu Li's hand lightly tapped on the table, and asked after hearing the words: "You said that the Gu family must recognize me, what is the purpose of coming back?"
Jiang Mi thought for a while, "Miss is worried that the Gu family has other plans?"
"It's not worrying. It's affirmative." Gu Li smiled, "Look at the family status of the Gu family, there is no shortage of daughters, and they have such an attitude towards me. What are they trying to do? I am a commoner woman, what is there to do? Favored by the precious family?"
"Miss is such a beauty, how many people are there in the world?" Jiang Mi wanted to support his forehead.My young lady is good at everything, but she doesn't have a clear understanding of her face.
Of course Gu Li thought about this reason.She felt that a family like the Gu family should play some high-level tricks.If it was just for her to get married, to be honest, she would be very disappointed.
Qin Qi didn't come to Gu's house all day today, Gu Li was a little strange.After dinner, Gu Li took Jiang Mi to the Eldest Princess' Mansion.
Seeing Gu Li coming, the eldest princess shook her head and said, "Li'er, are you here to see Qiqi?"
Gu Li nodded. "I'm used to seeing Qiqi every day, but if I didn't see it today, I couldn't help but come and have a look."
The eldest princess saw Jiangmi following behind her, "It seems that he didn't come out over the wall this time."
"Grandmother has lifted my confinement." Gu Li explained casually, but he was even more surprised when the eldest princess asked her to go to Kangyuan. "Your Highness, is Qiqi there?"
The eldest princess was a little confused: "Qiqi has already rested."
Gu Li raised his eyebrows. "Your Highness..."
The eldest princess interrupted Gu Li with a wave of her hand, "Li'er, I know you treat Qi Qi very dearly. But there are some things that you shouldn't ask since you haven't figured it out. There are so many meritorious families in this capital, so you can mess with them casually." Either one of them may cause you to be killed."
