Chapter 31: Slap in the Face (1)
Gu Chongyang still didn't speak, only lowered his head and took a small sip of tea, but Gu Chongzhu's face fell suddenly.
She just told Chai Xiyue that others would never dare to snub her when they looked at her face, and Gu Chongyang deliberately looked for a ballast to bully Chai Xiyue. This is not to embarrass Chai Xiyue, it is obvious that Gu Chongyang wants to give himself no face.
She was a fiery person, so she immediately stepped forward with a sneer and said, "Gu Chongyang, Cousin Xiyue is talking to you, can't you hear me?" Cousin Xiyue is a guest from afar, and the old lady asked us to treat her well, is this how you treat guests? β
Gu Chongyang put down the teacup and said to Chai Xiyue: "The tea in the old lady's room has always been the best, and this Xinyang hair tip is not good if it is cold." Just now I had tea in my mouth, I couldn't speak, I neglected the guests, and I looked at Haihan. β
She spoke eloquently, not slowly, her voice was delicate and glutinous, and she couldn't say it well, Chai Xiyue's gaze moved from the eight-treasure glazed gold collar on Gu Chongyang's chest to her face.
Her face is as bright as jade, her eyes are clear as water, this fourth lady is so beautiful!
She hurriedly cheered up and showed an embarrassed smile: "What did the fourth cousin say, you are willing to talk to me, I am too late to be happy, how dare I blame." Fourth cousin ......"
"Miss Chai, dare to ask what year you were born?"
Gu Chongyang spoke coldly, interrupting Chai Xiyue's chatter.
She choked and said busily: "I was born in August of the twenty-ninth year of Jianxing, because the moon was very bright when I was born, so my father named me Xiyue." The fourth cousin's name is Chongyang, was she born when the sun was shining during the day? β
"Yes, I was born in the daytime." Gu Chongyang nodded: "I was born on September 9, the thirtieth year of Jianxing. Because it was in time for the Double Ninth Festival, the sisters in the family were also heavy characters, so they were called Chongyang. β
As soon as these words came out, Chai Xiyue's face suddenly turned red.
She is a year older than Gu Chongyang, and she actually opened her mouth to call the other party's cousin, which is very rude. blamed himself for being too eager, seeing that Gu Chongyang was taller than himself, he thought that she was older than himself.
"Four...... Cousin ......" Chai Xiyue's face was full of apologies, looking apprehensive and sincere: "The fourth cousin is taller than me, and she speaks and acts more steadily and methodically than me, so I mistakenly think that you are older than me." I didn't expect to make such a joke, fourth cousin, don't laugh at me. β
The same is true in the previous life, Chai Xiyue called her cousin as soon as she met, and she called her sister when she got close......
Later, they both knew that Gu Chongyang was young, and when Chai Xiyue was older, Chai Xiyue took Gu Chongyang's hand and said that she was used to it and didn't want to change her words, and said that she wanted to be Gu Chongyang's good sister for life.
Gu Chongyang thought that it didn't matter what he called it at that time, not only did he not deliberately correct it, but he felt that Chai Xiyue would rather be a little sister and be very cute and cute, and he was taking advantage of being a sister.
What I didn't expect was that Chai Xiyue finally made an outer room for He Runnian.
She remembered very well that it was the third year of Chengguang, and the puppet emperor had stabilized the government. He Runnian has been filial piety for his father for three years.
Four months after taking it, Gu Chongyang found out that she was pregnant.
She was amazed and delighted, and felt that she was the happiest person in the world.
But the good times didn't last long, and she soon discovered that something was wrong with her husband. She asked people to follow He Runnian and monitor his every move.
At that time, the eldest uncle had already been named the Duke of Liangguo, and he was an important minister who contributed to the puppet emperor. She is her uncle's favorite niece, so naturally someone will slap her up and do things for her.
Within a few days, she found out the fact that He Runnian was in the outer room. She was sad and angry, and cried for half the night.
The maid who served her personally gave her an idea and asked her to go back to the Liangguo Mansion to find her uncle to administer justice to herself.
Gu Chongyang thought that the two uncles had worried about themselves so much, and it didn't make sense that this little thing made the uncles worry and angry, she still remembered that her heart was wrenching at the time, but she held back her tears and said word by word: "I don't have to tell Uncle SΓΉ, I have to deal with this matter myself." β
So he sent for the men who served around the outer chamber, a maid and a mother-in-law.
When the others came, she interrogated and found out that the outer room was actually seven months pregnant.
Gu Chongyang was in love with He Runnian at that time, she thought that He Runnian was just playing with people outside, but she never expected that the woman would be pregnant with his child, this news was no different from a bolt from the blue for Gu Chongyang.
Her eyes went dark and she passed out.
When she woke up, He Runnian had already come.
He knelt at the head of his bed and begged himself not to tell his uncle: "Chongyang, if the eldest uncle knows, he will definitely not give up." Chongyang, count me begging you! β
"If you don't tell Uncle SΓΉ, it's okay." Gu Chongyang looked at He Runnian coldly: "If you let the person outside have a fetus and cut her in two, I will treat this incident as if it never happened." β
"How's that going to work!" He Runnian Huo Ran got up and asked Gu Chongyang loudly: "You are also a person who wants to be a mother, how can you be so ruthless?" What she is pregnant with is my He Runnian's flesh and blood. You asked me to kill my own child, Gu Chongyang, when did you become so vexatious and cold-hearted? β
It was obviously him who did the wrong thing, but in turn accused himself of being unreasonable and cold-hearted.
Gu Chongyang laughed angrily: "The child in her womb has been more than seven months, and you have given birth to a child in filial piety, even if I don't tell Uncle SΓΉ, those imperial histories will know it, and it will be enough for you to drink a pot." I want to see if the Yanenhou Mansion is important, or the slut outside is important and abused! β
He Runnian's face turned pale, and his fingers trembled and pointed at Gu Chongyang and scolded: "You are simply unreasonable!" β
Gu Chongyang's heart was scarred, and the words he said became more and more aggressive: "It's obvious that you have a dirty mind, misconduct, forgetfulness, filial piety and indulgence, and you have the face to talk about me!" β
The two of them became more and more arguing, and finally broke up.
But that night, my mother-in-law came.
In the first month of Gu Chongyang's marriage to Yanenhou Mansion, her mother-in-law treated her very well.
From the second month, first the eldest lord of Yanenhou's Mansion was drunk and drowned, followed by the second master who fell off his horse and died, and not long after, the old Yanenhou also died of illness.
The mother-in-law invited the Taoist to calculate that she was an ominous person, and there would be this result, because her life was too hard to kill the eldest master, the second master, and the old Yan Enhou.
Since then, her mother-in-law has been sneering at her and glaring at her. Not to mention coming to her yard in person, even if she went to say hello, her mother-in-law rarely gave her a good face.
Therefore, although she knew that her mother-in-law came to support He Runnian's outer room, and maybe Shizhi* was to help He Runnian intercede, she still felt a little flattered and had to cheer up to welcome her mother-in-law.
It was rare for the mother-in-law to talk to her calmly: "...... Husband and wife are one, the husband is honorable and the wife is expensive, and the husband and wife are mourning, you must know the truth. You are the wife of the Hou Mansion Ming Media, if the Hou Ye behaves at a loss, as the head of the Yan'en Hou Mansion, your face will also be damaged. β
"Hou Ye is filial piety for fun, raising an outer room, and giving birth to a concubine, it is indeed his fault. If this matter spreads, the Yanenhou Mansion will be disgraced, but can you be left alone? β
"Do you know that when others accuse Hou Ye, they won't say that you are jealous and unvirtuous, forcing Hou Ye to have to raise an outer room?"
"Or do you want to hear those long-tongued women laugh at your incompetence and can't hold your husband's heart?"
Gu Chongyang was stunned at first, and then fell silent.
Although she knew that her mother-in-law was speaking for He Runnian, she also had to admit that every word her mother-in-law said was on point.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the mother-in-law continued: "Have you ever thought about how worried Liang Guogong should be if this matter reaches the ears of Liang Guogong? I think you must not want Liang Guogong to be angry and worry about you, right? β
Speaking of his uncle, Gu Chongyang finally let go. She was no longer indifferent, but nodded slightly.
The mother-in-law patted her hand and said, "Good boy." This is not the way to go, and the matter will eventually be resolved. Now that Hou Ye has bowed his head, as a wife, you can't be stubborn, but you have to get off the donkey and round things up. β
Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Gu Chongyang immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No, mother-in-law, I will never allow that woman to enter the door." β
As soon as the words fell, Gu Chongyang regretted it.
How can she contradict her mother-in-law like this, her mother-in-law doesn't like herself in the first place, so I'm afraid that she will be disgusted with herself.
But the mother-in-law was not angry, but let out a long sigh: "Alas! What a silly boy. Now you think that the love of men and women is more important than anything else, but you will understand that as the wife of the Hou Mansion, respect and decency are more important than love. β
"If that woman is allowed to go outside, it will be detrimental to the reputation of our Yanenhou Mansion. The most important thing is that we can't grasp what the woman wants, and we can't do it. If you let her enter the door, on the one hand, it can show your generosity as a wife, which will make the Hou Ye feel ashamed, and he will love you more in the future. On the other hand, with the status of a wife and concubine, wouldn't it be easier for you to control her again? β
Gu Chongyang's mother-in-law's words made Gu Chongyang very moved, she didn't want to pinch anyone, but she didn't want to watch others share her husband, and she was helpless and could only be beaten passively.
If the woman enters the door, at least the matter is in the inner house, at least she can intervene. Instead of being like now, she was out there and had no way to take her by herself.
But that woman is already seven months pregnant, if she enters the door and gives birth to a male baby, won't she be the eldest son of the Hou Mansion.
The son-in-law is not long, and the eldest son is not the eldest son, which is a taboo in the Hou Mansion.
But if you don't accept the woman into the door, the child will definitely have to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors in the future.
For a while, Gu Chongyang was worried and looked forward and backward.
