Chapter 106: Thorns
Gu Qiluo smiled like a flower and said: "Mrs. is polite, they are all a family, at this time I don't worry about the old lady, what else can I do?" ”
Mrs. Lu almost spurted out another mouthful of blood, Gu Qiluo's words were simply another stab in her bloody heart, she trembled her lips, but she couldn't say anything.
Aunt Han and Aunt Zhuang also saw that something was wrong with the limelight at this time, so they pulled their respective girls up to say goodbye, and when everyone went out, only Gu Mingyang and Mrs. Lu were left in the house, and Mrs. Lu looked at her husband's face and asked cautiously, "Does the master still have something on his mind?" The concubine doesn't look very good at your face. ”
"Atom Fei didn't confess anything, he said that the reason why he came to the capital to cheat the marriage was because he was instructed by others, including the forged marriage letter, which was also given to him by the other party." Master Gu didn't look at Mrs. Lu, but just said calmly.
Even so, Mrs. Lu was almost so frightened that she collapsed on the chair, but fortunately, after so many years of being the housewife, she also had some determination, because she quickly adjusted her breathing complexion, and pretended to be angry: "What a bold man, who is that person?" Who is so difficult to get along with us? What kind of enmity does our family have against him? ”
"I don't know." Gu Mingyang shook his head, still staring ahead, not looking at Mrs. Lu, and muttered, "It's just that I looked at his confession, and I felt that this person was a little like Dongyun." ”
With a "snap", the teacup in Mrs. Lu's hand fell to the ground, Gu Mingyang looked back, only to see her look stunned, and muttered: "Dongyun? This...... How is this possible? How dare he do such a thing? Sir, you ...... Are you mistaken? ”
Gu Mingyang looked at his wife carefully. But I didn't see any flaws. Mrs. Lu had already prepared her mind before, although she was really shocked and frightened when she heard that Master Gu actually thought of Lu Dongyun. But no matter who it was, she would inevitably be surprised when she heard such news, so she almost immediately cleaned up her mood and made a look of surprise and disbelief, which really made Gu Mingyang's heart sway again.
It's just a confession from Atom Fei, and he doesn't know who the man's name is, only that the other party pointed him the way. Under the desire for profit, he agreed. Gu Mingyang sighed, and asked as if carelessly, "That's right." Where did Dongyun go? I didn't seem to have seen him for a few days. ”
"He came to tell me before that he was going to Tuzhou to do business, and he must have arrived at this time." Mrs. Lu called Linglong to clean up the teacup on the ground, and frowned, "That's not right." How could he be so good and go against our family? Let the atom come to our house and make a big fuss. What's in it for him? ”
While speaking, she pretended to look at Gu Mingyang calmly, but saw that the other party's brows moved slightly, and said calmly: "Maybe he thinks that if Qiluo has to marry Atom Fei, we won't withdraw from the marriage at the Xiao Mansion, then we can marry Jinxiu." ”
It's finally here.
Mrs. Lu sighed in her heart, from the moment when the atomic non-door-to-door forced marriage failed. She knew that there would be this day, and fortunately she had this psychological preparation. I have already thought of countermeasures, otherwise I will be flustered for a while, and this level will definitely not be passed.
At that moment, he made a shocked look and said in a lost voice: "Master...... You know it all? ”
"Donghai told me about this before, but I refused, I really don't know what you think, you would come up with such a 'clever' idea, maybe Dongyun is exactly the same idea as you, so such a monstrous storm will be born."
Gu Mingyang said angrily, Mrs. Lu got out of the chair and knelt in front of Gu Mingyang, tears rained down and said: "Master Mingjian, I told Aunt Xiang that it really can't work, so I will marry Qiluo to Atom Fei and marry Jinxiu to the Xiao family." But the heavens are above, if the concubine has a little selfishness, it will make me die a good death. It was really full of wind and rain in the city before, and the atom had to bite to death and not let go, and it was a lot of trouble, and the concubine was helpless, so she would make this decision. The old man is in the officialdom, and he will not understand the real power behind this storm, and the concubine body does not want the old man to offend such a celestial figure, and does not want to be estranged from the Xiao family, so after thinking about it, she will come up with such a bad idea. But this is all because the concubine body was forced by that atom. As for Dong Yun, he never told me about it, not to mention that the concubine thought that he shouldn't have such courage, even if he had ill intentions, but when he went to find Atom Fei, how could he have expected those big people to interfere? Without those people, wouldn't it be easy for the master to rectify the atom? Why does he think that the atom is not capable of competing with our family? This...... Isn't that crazy? ”
When Gu Mingyang heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate, thinking that what Mrs. said was not wrong, could it really be that she misunderstood her? It's just that there is no such coincidence in this world? Because in the end, it was still difficult to dispel doubts, but his face looked better, and he helped Mrs. Lu up and said, "What you said is also reasonable, but this matter is very important, why don't you discuss it with me?" ”
Mrs. Lu cried: "The concubine has been married to the master for more than ten years, how can she not understand the master's personality?" If you had consulted with the master, would you agree? I can't say that I am the only one who has done such a wicked person, anyway, I am also a stepmother, and no one will believe that I am good to the eldest girl, I am all poked and scolded in the backbone, what is it to be a light and heavy sound? In fact, I am just hiding this matter from the master for the time being, otherwise if the Xiao family agrees, will the master not know? I didn't expect the big girl to be so powerful that she could clean up that atom, if she had already talked to me, I wouldn't have to be this villain in vain. ”
In the end, she has been a housewife for more than ten years, in such a Jedi, Mrs. Lu still does not forget to harm Gu Qiluo, and her words are all implying that the other party does not respect her stepmother. In this way, Gu Mingyang was speechless, he was not really stupid, to this day, how could the undercurrent between his wife and eldest daughter not be noticed at all? It's just that it's still an ostrich mentality, and as long as everyone remains calm on the surface, he would rather deceive himself.
Mrs. Lu looked at her husband's face carefully, knowing that she had narrowly passed this hurdle, and finally let out a long breath in her heart, and sat back in the chair, only to find that the cold sweat had soaked her clothes. Over there, Gu Mingyang was silent for a while, and suddenly said softly: "You are also sick these days, I will let you recuperate and leave the home to Qiluo to take care of, do you think you can make it?" ”
Mrs. Lu sighed in her heart, knowing that although this level had passed, her husband still planted a thorn in his heart, and said with a smile: "This is very good, it can be seen from this incident, the eldest girl is really powerful and shrewd, if she is inexperienced, I don't think it maybe, then the Baiwei Pavilion is also a thriving and orderly way for her to take care of?" Now it would be nice to let her take care of the house for a few days so that I can rest for a while. ”
Gu Mingyang nodded, knowing that it was impossible for his wife to have objections at this time, but he still felt bitter in his heart, and secretly said that no matter what Qiluo and his wife thought, I hope that there will be no more waves after this incident, and when Jiangbei comes back from the frontier, he will marry Qiluo as much as possible, so that this family must be peaceful.
As Gu Qiluo expected, although Gu Mingyang is a good father and a good official, he still has a consistent spirit of "rare confusion" when facing family affairs, even if he clearly knows that there is an undercurrent surging in this backyard, as long as he doesn't see it, he is still willing to believe in the illusion of "family and everything is prosperous".
****************************
"The third sister has been active again these days, she is relieved, if I experience such a thing, I am afraid that I will be embarrassed to go out for a year."
On the gazebo in the small garden, Gu Lanxuan shook her fan, looked at the seven or eight girls who walked in outside the garden, and pulled the corners of her mouth and mocked. Beside her, Gu Qiluo was looking at a book, and when he heard her words, he raised his head and looked at it, and then said with a smile: "Don't say it, a thick-skinned person like the serious third sister has a better life, no matter what kind of blow he suffers, he will always recover quickly, and no one like you is so comfortable and chic." ”
Gu Lanxuan pursed her lips and said, "Why can't I be comfortable and chic?" I don't do anything wrong, I'm much more comfortable and chic than her. ”
After speaking, she saw those girls look over, and then they all turned around and came this way, she said "bad luck", and said to Gu Qiluo: "Big sister, I really don't want to deal with these noble girls, but I don't want to show weakness and leave, you can quickly think of a way to see how you can make them retreat." ”
Gu Qiluo rolled his eyes, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Sister, do you think I am an immortal?" I don't want to leave and I don't want to socialize with others, why don't you let me conjure up an invisibility feather cloak for you? ”
Gu Lanxuan giggled, and knew that she was embarrassing Gu Qiluo, seeing those girls coming with Gu Jinxiu and Gu Suxuan, she gritted her teeth and whispered, "Hmph!" Who doesn't know what they're here for? Isn't it just that there is news from the border pass, saying that the princess of Xining likes the brother of the Xiao family, and the lord of Xining intends to promote this marriage and tie the knot with Daxia forever? ”
When she said this, she couldn't help but be a little worried, because she was afraid that Gu Qiluo would be troubled, so after knowing the news, even if she was worried, she didn't ask the eldest sister, at this time, since she accidentally said something, she simply pulled Gu Qiluo's sleeve and said, "Big sister, do you think the brother of the Xiao family will really be with the princess?" ”
"No, it won't."
Gu Qiluo's eyes were still on the book, and she replied indifferently, her calmness surprised Gu Lanxuan very much, and she couldn't help muttering: "Big sister, do you trust the Xiao family's brother so much?" Yes, I know he's very nice to you, but this time, it's the princess of Xining. ”
"What about the princess?" Gu Qiluo shook his head: "Xiao Jiangbei is not that kind of person. (To be continued......)
PS: With a personality guarantee, Mrs. Lu did not end well in the end.
