Chapter 123: Here comes the backstopper

Yes, let you pretend to be forced, this time it has been struck by lightning. Mrs. Lu squinted at Mrs. Chengminghou, who was in a dilemma, and her heart was red-eared, and she was happy in her heart, and secretly said that you have been together for a long time, and you all talk about me being incompetent, but I don't know what kind of wonderful stepdaughter I have on the stall, and now I know how powerful she is, right? Even the atom Fei who is secretly supported by so many big people has made her disgraced, why do you dare to underestimate her?

It's just that the joy is happy, but Mrs. Lu is not willing to let this matter go to nothing, so she coughed, picked up her stepmother's money and said in a deep voice: "Is the eldest girl dreaming?" What marriage book? How did I not know? Mrs. Chengming Hou just came to sit down, are you stunned? Linglong, Chunzhi, take the big girl back to the room. "Chunzhi is the name of Zhou Hong's family when they were girls in the past.

"Okay."

Zhou Hong's family and Linglong were about to agree, but they heard Gu Qiluo suddenly shout, which only startled Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Chengminghou, and then saw Gu Qiluo turn to the dozens of people who had gathered outside the door, and said loudly: "Mrs., madam, if you dare to say in front of so many villagers that there is no exchange of marriage documents today, and I plan to marry the Marquis of Chengming, then even if I am messing around, I will make amends to Mrs. and Mrs. ”

"You ......"

Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Chengminghou invariably changed color, and Mrs. Chengminghou even screamed: "Mrs. Gu, is this the tutor in your house?" You guys didn't have enough jokes, and you still want the people of the capital to judge you? ”

"Big girl, isn't it shameful enough for you to step down for me?" Mrs. Lu was also angry: she had never seen someone as bold as Gu Qiluo who didn't care about fame. Dare to make a fuss in public about anything, when this spreads, won't their Gu Mansion really become a joke?

"Folks." saw that Gu Qiluo didn't pay attention to it at all. Turning his head to those people, he said with tears in his eyes: "General Xiao died on the battlefield in order to protect his family and defend the country. I, Gu Qiluo, am just an ordinary woman, in terms of identity, I am actually not worthy of him, but the dowry of the Xiao family has been ordered before, and I am his wife who has not passed the door. Today he gave his life for his country, and I would rather keep the festival for him for the rest of my life. Please give me a witness......

"Linglong. The eldest girl is sick and talking nonsense, so drag her back. "Mrs. Lu is really anxious, let Gu Qiluo make such a fuss. This is really going to be a failure. In any case, being willing to observe the festival for her dead fiancé is considered a woman's virtue, but in the eyes of most people, it sacrifices a woman's lifelong happiness. It's a little impersonal. Therefore, if there is a widow daughter in any family, although she has a good reputation in Shilin officialdom, most of the people will reprimand her parents for being unkind.

But Gu Qiluo is different, she said loudly in public that she was willing to observe the festival, which will only make people admire her loyalty and courage, not to mention that she is going to observe the festival for her fiancé who died in battle, which is to ask for a reward from the court. And if she becomes the culprit who forced her to marry another, don't say that the law does not tolerate it. Even the spitting stars of the people in the capital are enough to drown her. What's more, she is still a stepmother, in order to climb the power and attainment of the nobles, she married her stepdaughter who is determined to keep the festival to the vicious stepmother of the Hou family, and this hat is simply not to be taken off in this life.

"Big girl, you're really confused, go back with the slaves."

Linglong and Zhou Hongjia also understood that things were strict, and they came forward to drag Gu Qiluo back to the backyard, just after dragging two steps, there was a sudden sharp pain in their feet, and the two of them let go with an "oops", Gu Qiluo took this opportunity to break free from them, and in a blink of an eye, he took out a scimitar from his sleeve, put it across his neck, and said loudly: "You said that there was no exchange of marriage letters today, okay, I'll just ask, wife, do you dare to promise me to keep the festival for life in front of so many villagers?" If you don't agree to me today, and you will be coerced by the marriage contract in the future and make your father embarrassed, I would rather be blood-spattered on the spot today and follow General Xiao. Madam, do you dare to promise me? ”

Mrs. Lu never expected that Gu Qiluo would take her army at once, and she was speechless. Over there, Mrs. Chengminghou was so angry that her chest kept rising and falling, and she could only murmur: "It's the other way around, what is this for?" This...... Is there still a bit of etiquette in this? ”

"I said a long time ago that I am bold, I have a bad temperament, and I am a powerful woman with a bad reputation, and I really can't climb the Hou Mansion. If Mrs. Today promises that I will never come to my door to propose, I am willing to make amends for today's faux pas. Gu Qiluo said proudly. The scimitar full of gems but with a cold blade was across her snow-white neck, which was particularly shocking, and this scimitar was the one Xiao Jiangbei gave her when he first saw her that day.

In a word, Mrs. Chengminghou will also be there. According to her temperament, a fierce woman like Gu Qiluo, the Hou Mansion should not even look at it, but she knew that this matter was very important to Yang Zifan, so even if Gu Qiluo forced her into such a wolf situation, she couldn't stride away with her head held high and save this face.

The two housewives were pale, no one spoke, Gu Qiluo was opposite them, glaring at them without giving in, the scimitar was on her neck, and a wisp of blood even oozed out, but she ignored it, obviously having made up her mind.

It was the time of the stalemate, when I suddenly heard someone outside the crowd shouting: "Get out of the way, let us in." ”

The crowd moved out of the way, wondering who this was? Looking at the excitement and such boldness? Don't even talk about a first-come, first-served basis?

As he thought about it, he craned his neck to look over, but saw a magnificent carriage parked across the street, and two women came surrounded by a large group of men and women. After looking closer, the crowd suddenly retreated a few dozen steps, because some of them already recognized the men as a group of eunuchs.

"This is someone from the Prince's Mansion." There was a well-informed solution to everyone's doubts, which suddenly made everyone's eyes wide, and everyone knew it: This must be the crown prince's side concubine coming, this time the matter is interesting, who is General Xiao? That's the younger brother of the side concubine, now that Miss Gu is determined to observe the festival for General Xiao, who dares to say no in front of the side concubine?

After Xiao Jingchun and Aunt Xiang walked in, the people "hula" and surrounded again, but saw the two eunuchs coldly closing the door and completely isolating them from the door: The prince and the concubine are here, can the people on the street be allowed to watch and discuss?

"Huh? This...... What's going on? Big girl, you ...... What are you doing? Put the knife down, it's not play. Aunt Xiang and Xiao Jingchun got the news, but they didn't expect to see this scene as soon as they entered the door, and then Aunt Xiang hurriedly stepped forward to snatch Gu Qiluo's scimitar, and then just glanced at it, tears fell, and said softly: "This is the day...... The scimitar that the second young master gave to the girl? ”

Gu Qiluo also burst into tears, took the knife back, rubbed it gently, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, he sent it." Now that he's gone, there's no way to protect me, but his knife is still there, and with this knife, no one can try to force me. ”

"What does this mean? Who dares to persecute you? It's that Abei is gone, but you used to come to me often to talk, and I have long regarded you as a relative. Xiao Jingchun said coldly, her eyes swept lightly over the faces of Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Chengminghou, and said with a smile: "Why is Mrs. Yang here?" ”

How dare Mrs. Chengming Hou say that she is here to exchange marriage letters and marry the prince and Gu Qiluo at this time? Because he hurriedly laughed and said: "The concubine has nothing to do in the house, come to talk to Mrs. Gu, why did the mother come over?" ”

Xiao Jingchun said lightly: "I also have nothing to do in the house, it just so happened that my aunt came, and told me that the eldest girl has lost a lot of weight these days, and her spirit is not very good, the last time I went to her, I actually said something stupid, I was afraid that she would be too sad and do something stupid, so I said that I would come over with my aunt to have a look, and untie her." ”

Pretend, you pretend.

Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Chengminghou are about to vomit to death: what come to explain? You're the crown prince's concubine, won't you send someone to call her over if you want to explain it? even personally condescended to the nobles. Is this unclear just to support your dead brother and let Gu Qiluo enter the Xiao family?

It's just that although they all know this, they must not say it. Here, Aunt Xiang wiped her tears for Gu Qiluo, and then wiped her own tears, Fang turned her head and said to Mrs. Lu: "I just heard that this child said that Mrs. wanted to marry her to the prince of the Chengming Marquis Mansion, but she refused, so she made such a fuss, is this true?" ”

At this point, even if the marriage certificate is exchanged, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Chengminghou must deny the matter, otherwise they are forcing Gu Qiluo to almost kill Mingzhi as the culprit and prevent a woman from observing the festival for her fiancé, which is guilty in the law, how dare the two admit it in front of Xiao Jingchun? I had to laugh and deny it.

Xiao Jingchun said: "That's it, I don't expect the two ladies to do such a foolish thing." Reasoning, Abei has died in battle, we shouldn't delay Qiluo's life, but although the two of them are not married, they are deeply in love, Qiluo will hold a secret marriage for Abei to observe the festival, even if this is not approved, it should not be stopped. What's more, Abei's corpse and bones haven't come back yet, how can Qiluo be so easy to recover? After a few years, she may figure it out, why is she so impatient, the two ladies said yes? ”

What do Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Chengminghou dare to say? Only Wei Wei agreed. Xiao Jingchun is kind, as Xiao Jiangbei's only sister, she did not make a final decision, but left a living mouth, so that Gu Qiluo would have the right to choose in the future. This is also the plan she has worked hard for her because she misses Gu Qiluo's affection for her brother.

Xiao Jingchun then came to Gu Qiluo again, climbed her shoulder and said with a smile: "Aunt said that you are not in good spirits these days, I think you are really in a trance, don't say that the two ladies of the edict are ignorant women of the people, and they can't do it, so you suspect them for no reason." (To be continued......)
