Chapter 9: There is no other way
The study of the Prime Minister's Mansion
The eldest lady knocked on the door a few times, saw that there was no movement inside, and then took a light step and pushed the door in.
Putting down the tea tray in her hand, she said softly to Gu Huai, who was standing in front of the window with her back hand: "Master, the concubine has soaked your favorite 'Junshan Silver Needle', can you taste it?" ”
Gu Huai turned around abruptly and looked straight at the eldest lady, with a rare gloomy color in his eyes.
The eldest lady's heart tightened, and then she took the initiative to step forward and hold the prime minister's arm, pretending to be puzzled: "Master, you came back from the palace with a cold face, who made you angry again?" ”
Gu Huai withdrew his arm from the eldest lady's hand, snorted coldly, and sat back on the sandalwood chair, "Why am I angry, don't you know?" ”
The eldest lady naturally knew this, pinching the handkerchief, her eyes were red, and her tone was sad, "Master, I know you are still blaming me for that incident." But ......"
"But sir, you also know that Jinxiu has been smart since she was a child, but her temperament is not as calm as Jinli, if you want Jinxiu to marry Ning Wangfu, I'm really afraid that she will ......"
Before she finished speaking, the eldest lady was already in tears: "Although Jinli is not from me, in the four years since she came back, I have always treated her as my own daughter." Eating and wearing, when has Jinli ever been worse than Jinxiu? ”
"Sir...... You can't bear to Jinli, why shouldn't I? The eldest lady wiped her tears and continued: "The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, if it weren't for the other way......
Her tears were like beads with broken threads, choking uncontrollably, which made Gu Huai's heart soften, and her anger dissipated a little.
After picking up the eldest lady, he said helplessly: "That's it, I am also at fault for this matter, and I can't blame you all." ”
For Gu Jinli, he felt guilty in his heart.
She and Feng Se had lived in Nanshan for eleven years, and he owed them too much to their mother and daughter, until Feng Se died four years ago, and Gu Jinli was taken back.
originally planned to marry her to a good family, but Gu Jinxiu had such an incident again......
He also thought about finding someone else to marry on his behalf, but the young women in the house, from the young lady to the maid, except for Gu Jinli, none of them were similar in size to Gu Jinxiu......
Moreover, for such a thing as a substitute marriage, you must find a smart and reliable woman, otherwise the East Window incident will not only be as simple as the crime of bullying the king......
Therefore, Gu Jinli is the best candidate......
The eldest lady leaned on Gu Huai's arms, finally stopped sobbing, took his hand, and comforted: "Master, Jinli is a blessed child, God will not treat her badly." ”
Gu Huai sighed lightly, "I heard that Qi Hao's sword was stabbed in Jinli's chest, and I was worried about her injuries......"
"Master, I went to see Jinli today, and the matter is not as serious as you think." The eldest lady patted Gu Huai's hand and said, "Besides, I brought so many supplements to Jinli, and the emperor also personally sent Imperial Doctor Wei, so her injuries will heal soon, don't worry too much, master." ”
Thinking of Gu Jinli's face, which was seven or eight points similar to Feng Se, Gu Huai's heart sank again.
"Hmm", he slowly closed his eyes.
Cersei, don't blame me, I'm also forced to be helpless......
If you have a spirit in the sky, I hope you will bless Jinli and make this child's life in King Ning's mansion better in the future......
"Madame, ma'am!" Suddenly, the door to the study was pushed open.
The eldest lady immediately left Gu Huai's lap, and glared at the maid Bi'er who had served her for many years with dissatisfaction, "What kind of system is it that you are flustered?" ”
Bi'er hurriedly said, "Madam, the eldest prince is injured!" And still holding a big ...... The eldest lady is back! ”
"What?" The eldest lady and the prime minister were stunned, and when they figured out who the "eldest lady" was, their faces changed instantly, and they rushed out in a hurry.
