During the day, the matter of the Heavenly Family sending someone to pick up Liu Mengyan's birthday was spread in the mansion, saying that the Heavenly Family is now selecting a side concubine for the prince, so Liu Mengyan is very likely to become the prince's side concubine.

For Liu Fu, this is a happy thing, but for the Gu family's mother and daughter, it is a shocking sound.

For the Zhu family, the Gu family was deeply planted from the day the Zhu family was carried into the Liu Mansion by Liu Sanye. She always felt that it was the Zhu family who robbed her of the position of his wife; Now Liu Mengyan is going to be pointed out to the prince as a side concubine again, and she has to overpower Liu Ruomei again.

Liu Ruomei cried and cried, suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashed with a very fierce light, and said fiercely: "It is absolutely impossible for me to be under Liu Mengyan, even if she becomes the prince's concubine, I will definitely let her be ruined!" ”

Seeing Liu Ruomei say this, Gu Shi was very pleased, and hurriedly nodded: "That's right, as long as you win the favor of the prince, what can she do even if she is a side concubine." Over the years, the Zhu family has not been pressed under his mother. Although she is a wife, her mother is a concubine. But your father doesn't come to his mother for a long time. ”

Guo Mansion.

After Guo Yuqi received Liu Mengyan's letter, she sent a maid several times to ask Guo Zitao if he had returned home, but all he got was no.

Finally, Guo Zitao came back from the Four Princes' Mansion, exhausted, and was about to go back to the house to rest, but he was robbed by Guo Yuqi's maid at the door of his house.

When he arrived at Guo Yuqi's courtyard, Guo Yuqi ordered someone to close the door.

"Little sister, what are you looking for your eldest brother, what are you doing? Big brother is very tired today. Guo Zitao asked.

"Can Ruoyan's letter relieve the tiredness of the eldest brother?" Guo Yuqi took out the letter and shook it in front of Guo Zitao.

When Guo Zitao heard that Liu Mengyan had written a letter to him, he hurriedly snatched it from Guo Yuqi's hand, and then unfolded the letter and looked at it.

However, after he finished reading it, his face changed greatly.

Guo Yuqi saw Guo Zitao's face, so she asked, "Big brother, what did Ruoyan write to you?" ”

Guo Zitao's blank eyes told Guo Yuqi that there must be something bad.

She took the letter from Guo Zitao's hand and read it, and after reading half of it, she said, "When will the eldest brother go to propose?" I told you a long time ago that if it drags on like this, Ruoyan will become someone else's, but the eldest brother doesn't believe it, now it's okay? ”

Guo Yuqi's words made Guo Zitao's face red.

Originally, he thought that he could take his time, but unexpectedly, the emperor really wanted to marry Liu Mengyan.

It came so suddenly, and he wasn't prepared at all.

"No, I'm going to talk to my dad now!" He said suddenly.

Guo Yuqi was about to say something, but Guo Zitao walked too fast, and she didn't have time to speak. She wanted to tell him that his mother seemed to have gone to his father's study, but he should never meet his mother.

Guo Zitao walked very fast, and soon arrived at Master Guo's study.

was about to knock on the door, but heard Mrs. Guo's voice from inside.

His hand froze in the air.

I only heard that Mrs. Guo and Mr. Guo were discussing Guo Zitao's marriage.

"This Chunling has already come, I think it's better to choose a date for the two of them to get married as soon as possible. Start a family, start a family, and only when you become a family can you start a business. Mrs. Guo said.

But Master Guo was a little hesitant, he knew his son, and his heart didn't seem to be in this cousin Chunling, "You have to ask Zitao what he means." ”

"What does he mean? Marriage is the word of the matchmaker at the behest of the parents. Mrs. Guo said.

As soon as her words fell, Guo Zitao pushed the door with anger and walked in.

When Mrs. Guo and Master Guo saw him come in, they were stunned at first, then reacted, and hurriedly greeted Guo Zitao, "It just so happens that we are discussing your marriage with Chunling, and you came just in time." ”

However, Guo Zitao said with a straight face: "I won't marry Cousin Chunling, I want to marry Liu Mengyan as his wife!" ”

He said it firmly and resolutely.

This made Mrs. Guo's face sink suddenly.

"You want to marry Liu Mengyan? You're trying to force your cousin to death, aren't you? Mrs. Guo said angrily.

Guo Zitao was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Guo's mother meant.

If you don't marry Chunling's cousin, you will force her to death?

He felt that if he married her, he would still force her to death.

Mrs. Guo snorted coldly and said, "Your cousin has already arrived here. When Chunling left home, she left home by marrying, and your grandmother and uncle have already handed her over to me, if you don't marry her now, isn't this forcing her to death? ”

When Guo Zitao heard this, he was secretly shocked: I thought that Cousin Chunling was just coming to the capital to play, but I didn't expect her to come with such a thought.

He set his eyes on Master Guo, and he knew that his father was still in his heart.

But Lord Guo has always been a club, and seeing Mrs. Guo like this, he could only shake his head helplessly, indicating that he could not do anything.

Seeing this, Guo Zitao knelt down suddenly: "Mother, please don't force me!" ”

When Mrs. Guo saw him doing this, she said bitterly: "Guo Zitao, you are forcing us, you are forcing Guo Mansion!" Do you know that the emperor has already taken Liu Mengyan's birthday, if it happens, this Liu Mengyan is the prince's concubine. If you insist on doing this, you are going to push Guo Fu to a dead end! ”

Guo Zitao raised his head, and he also knew the seriousness of Mrs. Guo's words, but what could he do now, he couldn't watch Liu Mengyan marry the prince.

Mrs. Guo was already a little angry and couldn't stand still, and was helped by Lord Guo to sit on the chair, but she still had to continue, "Do you think I asked you to marry Chunling for the sake of your mother?" Mother is for you, mother, mother, doesn't want you to marry a beloved woman? But now you can't marry Liu Mengyan, that is to rob people from the heavenly family. Do you want your father to be an official? Do you want to have a past? ”

Guo's mother said bitterly, so that Guo Zitao couldn't help crying.

He didn't know what to say, let alone what to do, so he got up, rushed out of the door, and ran outside.

Guo Zitao returned to his room in a trance, sat at the table and was silent for an unknown amount of time, until a little servant came in to serve tea, he came back to his senses, but the first sentence was to let the little guy bring wine.

The little guy was stunned for a moment, he knew that the young master rarely drank alcohol, unless it was at a banquet, he would drink two glasses, and he would drink even less when he entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion, but now he actually asked for wine.

But he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he went down to get the wine.

Guo Zitao was drinking, thinking about Mrs. Guo's words and Liu Mengyan at the same time.

He couldn't think of any other way to convince his mother, let alone make Liu Mengyan not marry the prince, so he felt very uncomfortable, and he didn't drink until the wine jug on the table had bottomed out.

When the little guy was about to help Guo Zitao to rest, Yang Chunling came.

She waved her hand and asked the little girl to go down first and take care of her cousin herself.

Yang Chunling looked at Guo Zitao like this, and felt very uncomfortable.

For that Liu Mengyan, is it worth torturing yourself like this?

She already knew about the quarrel between Guo Zitao and Mrs. Guo just now, so she came to see how Guo Zitao was.

Yang Chunling stepped forward and shouted a few times, "Cousin? Cousin, are you asleep? ”

But Guo Zitao didn't react at all.

She had to help the man up with great difficulty, and then helped him to the bed.

After placing the person on the bed, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and then began to change his clothes again, thinking that she would have to change Guo Zitao's clothes like this in the future, her face couldn't help but flush.

As soon as she took off Guo Zitao's coat, a letter fell from his clothes to the ground.

Yang Chunling picked it up and was about to put it back in her clothes, but when she saw that it read "Guo Zitao's personal enlightenment", she couldn't help but feel a curiosity.

Although she is not married to Guo Zitao yet, she has already decided that this man is her own. Then he has the right to know everything.

Yang Chunling unfolded the letter and looked at it, not feeling that it was immoral to peek at other people's letters.

When she read the contents of the letter, her whole face almost distorted, and she cursed something fiercely, and ran out with the letter.

Mrs. Guo was very angry by Guo Zitao's previous words, and she was leaning on the soft collapse, and the maid helped press her head, so she felt a lot more comfortable.

"Why are you so angry?" Lord Guo persuaded on the side.

"You fathers and sons are people who don't shed tears when they don't see their coffins. The daughter-in-law of the heavenly family, you dare to rob it? Mrs. Guo glanced at her husband and said.

"Yes, listen to you. Just wronged his son. I went to the study. Mr. Guo was blinded by his wife, stood up, and flicked his sleeves and went out.

"It's better to be wronged than to die!" Mrs. Guo said to his back.

But after a while, Yang Chunling hurriedly came in, "Auntie, aunt!" ”

"Alright, big night, are you going to wake up the whole house?" Mrs. Guo pinched the bridge of her nose and said.

"Auntie, Ling'er has something important to tell you." Only then did Yang Chunling restrain the anxious look on her face.

Mrs. Guo looked at her and sent all the maids in the house down.

After seeing that everyone was leaving, Yang Chunling took out the letter, "Auntie, look, this is Liu Mengyan's letter to her cousin." ”

Mrs. Guo opened the letter, and the more she looked at it, the more bad her face became, and finally slammed the letter on the table with a bang, only to feel so angry that her brain hurt.

"This Liu Mengyan simply doesn't know etiquette, righteousness and shame!"

Yang Chunling also fanned the flames on the side and said: "Isn't it, this Liu Mengyan is the dignified county lord of Anping, who actually wrote such a letter with a man, and took the initiative to write a letter to ask Brother Zitao to marry her, which is simply shameless." ”

Mrs. Guo was already defending her uncle and niece, and with this letter, she felt that Liu Mengyan was a woman who didn't know how to behave.

Such a woman, the Guo family must never want, let alone the possibility that she may become a member of the heavenly family.
