Chapter 11: Forced Marriage
"Qin'er!"
"Qin'er!"
Old Madam Yang and Yang Yuanhai in prison exclaimed in unison.
"Qin'er, how can you beg him, even if your father is dead, you don't need to exchange it with yourself!" Up to now, Yang Yuanhai still can't figure out that this matter is just a trick set by Gu Chen in order to marry his daughter from beginning to end.
Hate only hated himself for being careless, so he fell into the other party's way.
Yang Yuanhai clutched his chest and glared at Gu Chen.
Mrs. Yang's eyes were back and forth on her son and granddaughter, her heart was already in chaos, and she couldn't choose, on one side was her own son, on the other side was her own granddaughter, no matter which side, she didn't want them to have anything to do.
However, Gu Chen pinched her two closest relatives and asked her to choose one, what should she do?
Qin Niang looked at Gu Chen's smug smile, knowing that he was just waiting for her to say this, but she could only know that there was a pit in front of her, and she had to jump down: "Gu Chen, I promise you, I promise you, are you satisfied?" ”
The corners of Gu Chen's lips hooked: "I knew today, why bother in the first place!" He let go of her, his eyes turned to the side of Yang Yuanhai, who was eager to kill him, and there was a compelling arrogance in his politeness, "Since Ling Ai has agreed, then the little son-in-law naturally has no reason to see death and not save him." ”
Seeing that he was finally relieved, Qin Niang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his back as he turned and exited, clenched her pink fists, and a fierce light burst out of her eyes.
Gu Chen, you are very good!
If you want to marry me so much, then let's go to hell together!
"Qin'er, how can you promise him, you know that Gu Chen is despicable and shameless, he dares to use this kind of inferior means to persecute your father and eldest brother today, and force you to marry him, tomorrow he will be able to torture you by all means, don't you marry him, don't you jump into the fire pit?" Old Madam Yang pointed the ground with her crutches, and said angrily and worriedly.
"I didn't expect that I, Yang Yuanhai, was honest and loyal, and held the country, but in the end I had to sell my daughter to save my life." Yang Yuanhai slammed the iron prison door twice in shame, feeling painful and anxious.
"Grandma, Dad, is there any other way for us to do this? According to the current form, it is very likely that my father will be sent down by the saint tomorrow, and all our roads will be blocked by Gu Chen, even if you are not afraid of death, but our Yang family has been an official for generations, how can we bear the stigma of filling our pockets? ”
"If my father and eldest brother are convicted, although they will not die, but the Yang family is afraid that it will be difficult to rise in the future, Qin'er is just a woman, if I am alone, I can keep the reputation of the Yang family for generations, let alone marry him Gu Chen, even let me die, why not?"
"My personal matter is small, but it affects dozens of people under the whole Yang, and even the descendants of my Yang family will be affected in the future, not to mention, it is just to marry Gu Chen, he wants to marry me in every possible way, presumably it will not be tortured to marry me home, besides, stay in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood, my father and eldest brother can only survive the current crisis and save the Yang family, if I am bullied in the future, I will have my mother's family to rely on."
"Qin'er........" Old Madam Yang grabbed her hand, her eyes were full of pity, "It's just that I have wronged you." ”
She knew that if she didn't agree to marry her granddaughter to Gu Chen today, the two pillars of their Yang family would be ruined tomorrow, and since Gu Chen had calculated them, he would definitely have calculated the rest of the matter, if they refused to nod today, maybe he would have more vicious ways to deal with them tomorrow.
In the final analysis, they are just a Qingliu family, where can the means compare to those businessmen? They still have to take care of their face and family reputation, but that Gu Chen is shameless.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Yang was suddenly helpless.
"Grandma, don't be wronged, now I don't have anything to fear him Gu Chen's calculations, as long as I can keep my heart, even if he Gu Chen marries me, he can't do anything with me, let alone ......." She promised today, but after today, if something happens again, she can't guarantee that she will be able to marry him as she wishes.
Naturally, in order to avoid the ears of the partition wall, she didn't dare to say this easily.
Qin Niang took a few deep breaths, her mood had calmed down a lot, if she couldn't escape the fate of marrying Gu Chen for the rest of her life, what if she really married him?
Today, Gu Chen tried every possible way to marry her into the door, she thought, no matter whether he succeeded in the end or not, he would definitely regret it.
Because of the time limit for the visit, Qin Niang could only simply appease Yang Yuanhai for a few words, and then took Mrs. Yang back to Yang's house.
As for Gu Chen's promise to save people for them, when will he be able to rescue people, he didn't say, and the Yang family didn't ask too much, on this day, the Yang Mansion was restless, thinking about what Gu Chen was capable of saying that a court official would go to prison if he said he would go to prison, and he would save him if he said he would be rescued.
The night is as cool as water.
Qin Niang lay on the bed in the boudoir and couldn't sleep for a long time, since her rebirth, many things seem to be different, and some things she can't predict, but the only thing that hasn't changed is that no matter how much she wants to get rid of the relationship with Gu Chen, he is still entangled with her like in the previous life.
Does she really want to follow the old path of her previous life, marry into the Gu family, and then intrigue with Tang Wan?
It was not easy for her to live a new life, in fact, she was extremely reluctant in her heart, but if she was so cheap, she was very unwilling.
Thinking about it, I didn't sleep all night, and early the next morning, Qiu Tao stumbled in and shouted, "Miss, it's not good." ”
Qin Niang, who was just about to squint and take a nap, was disturbed by her shouting, she glanced at the sky, frowned and asked: "What kind of system is it that shouts, what's wrong, you straighten your tongue and say slowly." ”
"That, Gu Gongzi ........" Qiu Tao gasped, opened her head intermittently, and pointed her finger outside, "Gu Gongzi is here." ”
Qin Niang only felt her eyebrows skip a beat, and her heart sank suddenly, what was Gu Chen doing here early in the morning? Could it be that he didn't save his father?
But yesterday in prison, when he threatened her, she clearly saw a trace of ambition in his eyes, how could there be a change?
"What is he here for? Could it be that something happened to my father and my eldest brother? Thinking so, Qin Niang's drowsiness was over, and she was about to get out of bed when she lifted the quilt, and a touch of anxiety faintly appeared in her heart.
"No, he....... He's here to be hired! Qiu Tao gasped for two breaths, and finally finished the sentence in one go.
Qin Niang's action of putting on her shoes was sudden, and then she raised her head sharply, and her eyes shot sharply at Qiu Tao and asked, "What did you say?" ”
He took care of the three most famous matchmakers in the capital, and carried dozens of boxes of dowry gifts into the house, Mrs. and the old lady were angry, and are currently eating tea with people in the front hall, Miss, now the old man and the eldest son have not yet gotten out of trouble, this Gu Gongzi said that he would help us, but now he has carried the dowry to the house, what does he want to do? Do you think our Yang family is easy to bully? ”
Qiu Tao said angrily, clenching her fists, looking like she was eager to break Gu Chen's body into pieces.
It's so unreasonable, just a businessman, actually bullying them so far!
"Fetch me water, I'll go to the antechamber and have a look." Rao is Qin Niang, who has been as strong as iron since she was reborn, and she can't sit still at this time.
That Gu Chen, what do you want to do?
She has already promised him, is it possible that he is still afraid that she will regret it?
She guessed correctly, Gu Chen was really afraid that she would tear down the bridge after crossing the river, so she let three media and six hires come to the door early in the morning, called asking for marriage, but in fact, forced marriage, the entire Yang Mansion can see that this Gu Gongzi is not good.
Vestibule.
Mrs. Yang sat in the first seat, Mrs. Yang sat on the side, and there were three matchmakers sitting side by side opposite, all of whom were called in the capital.
Therefore, the faces of Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Yang were very unsightly.
After the servant served the tea, he consciously withdrew, and the atmosphere of the whole hall was extremely dull.
"Old Mrs. Yang, Gu Gongzi said that he was hired today, and I hope that the wedding date can be set as soon as possible, so that people can prepare." Mrs. Zhang put down the teacup and said.
Old Madam Yang pursed her lips and did not speak calmly.
"That is, although Gu Gongzi is in business, but these three media and six hires will not be less at all, on the day of the wedding, the custody can be seen by everyone in the whole capital, if you want more scenery, you can have more scenery, in my opinion, the sixth day of the first month of next month is a good day, otherwise the wedding date will be set on the sixth day of the next month." Huang Matchmaker waved her handkerchief and said with a smile.
Mrs. Yang's face stiffened, and Mrs. Yang's face was a little ugly, and then she sneered, look, even the date has been set, what else to discuss?
"Now the people in the capital know about your Yang family, and only Gu Gongzi still dares to come to the door to ask for marriage, I said, if it were me, I would have responded to it, although Gu Gongzi is not an official, but that person's character and appearance are also the best in this capital, marrying him is not a loss, the two ladies should not hesitate, set the date as soon as possible, we can go back to restore our lives." Mrs. Li was not polite when she spoke, and directly shook out the current situation of the Yang family.
Old Madam Yang's face was a little ugly when she heard this, and she held back her anger and asked, "But what Gu Gongzi said?" ”
The three matchmakers were stunned for a moment, and glanced at each other, how could a few people who have always been good at reading people's faces not know that Old Madam Yang was already angry at this moment?
However, what they said is also true, in this officialdom now, there are many people who step on the high and praise the low, and they are not afraid of anything with Gu Gongzi to support them.
"Old Madam Yang, don't be angry, Mrs. Li is just speaking more bluntly, she has no malice, she just wants to kindly persuade you, the person who knows the affairs of the time is Junjie, besides, that Gu Gongzi is not a big traitor, he is happy with Miss Yang, and he will treat her well if he wants to marry her, why don't you think about it so much?"
