Chapter 623: Finding Your Own Way
Gu Lian filtered out the complaints and sarcasm in Xiao's words, and grasped the point, "You said that Ah Ruan helped to intercede and invited Lang Zhong?" β
Xiao was silent.
Gu Lian's eyes were half-narrowed, he already had an idea in his heart, and sat down on the edge of the bed, a look of concern quickly piled up on his face.
"Xin'er, Dad is too busy these days to care about you, don't complain about Daddy. You also know the current situation of the Gu family, Dad must first keep the glory of the Gu family so that you will not be wronged in the future. β
Gu Xin'er sneered in her heart, in the past half a month, she had already seen the Gu family clearly. But there was a look of understanding on his face, "Father, daughter know." The daughter is ignorant and embarrassed the father and mother, and I hope the father will not blame the daughter. β
This was the first time Gu Lian had heard Gu Xin'er say such a thing, and he was surprised to feel that Old Madam Gu's education method was really effective. Gu Xin'er's stinky bone-like temper was actually softened.
It's good that saves him a lot of heart.
"It's good that you understand, and my father also knows that you are sad in your heart, so he is willing to blame you. But now my father needs your help. β
Gu Xin'er sneered in her heart, "Father, please speak." β
Gu Lian told the matter of the three princes, "The three princes like Ah Ruan, but Ah Ruan doesn't seem to want to have any contact with the three princes. Since Ah Ruan is willing to be friendly with you, Dad thought that you would be able to make peace in the middle, so that it might have some effect. Xin'er, the status of the third prince is noble, as long as Ah Ruan becomes the princess, your worth will also rise in the future. When the time comes, the third prince will protect you as a matchmaker, and you will definitely be able to find a wishful husband. β
After Gu Xin'er heard this, she couldn't help but feel jealous in her heart, this Lin Ruan is really a good life!
But she also knew Gu Lian's abacus clearly in her heart. There was no way to take Lin Ruan by himself, so he pushed her out and asked her to help the third prince create opportunities. said it well and said it was for her good, but in fact it was not for the Gu family and himself.
However, she will not refuse such an arrangement, after all, she is still counting on the beautiful marriage. It's not enough to rely on Lin Ruan, she has to work hard herself.
The Three Princes is a good choice.
If you can't be a concubine, it's not bad to be a side concubine or Liangdi, at least she has become a member of the heavenly family, who will dare to look down on her in the future.
Gu Xin'er had a plan in her heart, so she nodded along with Gu Lian's words, "My daughter understands, my daughter knows what to do." β
Gu Lian felt that this daughter had finally opened her mind, and she was happy, and reached out to rub her hair, "Then you have a good rest, and Dad will go and get busy first." β
From beginning to end, Gu Lian didn't ask half a sentence about Gu Xin'er's health.
But Gu Xin'er is not uncommon.
It's Xiao who is sad, but he doesn't want to talk about it to make his daughter even more sad. After a pause, he sat down on the edge of the bed, "What are your plans for what your father said?" β
Gu Xin'er is not wary of the Xiao family, she knows very well that the only person in the Gu family who is really good to her is the Xiao family. Although she couldn't figure out why Xiao was so nice to her, it didn't matter.
So she said bluntly: "Mother, I still can't rest assured on Lin Ruan's side, now that the Gu family wants to step on Lin Ruan's position, why can't I?" β
Xiao's eyelids jumped, "What do you want to do?" Xin'er, don't mess around......"
Gu Xin'er smiled, "Mother, don't worry, I won't mess around." I'm just trying to find a future for myself. The status of the third prince is noble, and if I can marry in, my mother should be happy for me. β
Xiao Shi's brows furrowed, "But the Gu family is planning to marry Lin Ruan, if you spoil their business, they will ......"
"Mother, the Gu family doesn't care who the person who marries in. They just want to marry a daughter to the third prince, it doesn't matter who it is, as long as it can bring benefits to the Gu family. Since Lin Ruan can, I can naturally do it. β
Xiao Shi was a little moved, her daughter's current identity, as well as her previous comments, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to marry a good family in the future. If you can marry the third prince, it will be a great thing.
However, the target of the third prince is Lin Ruan, will he be willing to marry his daughter?
Xiao is old and has experienced more things, and he doesn't think this is the best idea in his heart. "Xin'er, don't worry, we have to think about this matter in the long run."
Gu Xin'er didn't have so much patience, she didn't want to stay in the Gu family for a moment, "Mother, you know all the land in the Gu family now, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about Qi'er." If the children born by those remnant concubines in the future are better than Qi'er, what do you think the father will do? β
Xiao was stunned.
Gu Xin'er sneered, "Only if I marry into the Three Princes' Mansion can I keep you and Qi'er's status in the Gu family." β
Xiao's mind was in a mess, and he didn't know how to make a decision at all. "The person the third prince wants to marry is Lin Ruan, if you ruin his plan, I'm afraid he won't treat you well."
In the end, I still feel sorry for my daughter, Xiao kept reminding.
Gu Xin'er said casually, "Marrying one is marrying, isn't two also marrying?" No one stipulates that the three princes can't marry two daughters in the same family, right? I don't have that much ambition to compete with Lin Ruan, as long as I can enter the Three Princes' Mansion, not the side concubine, and Liangdi. After entering the house, each according to his ability. β
She didn't think that she could compare to Lin Ruan in terms of pleasing men.
Xiao Shi was distressed, "Xin'er, why bother to practice yourself like this, how easy is it to be a concubine?" β
Gu Xin'er glanced at her: "Mother, my father's concubines, I don't see how difficult it is. β
Seriously, this is also one of the reasons why Gu Xin'er doesn't look down on the Xiao family, a wife can't even suppress a few concubines, it's really useless to the extreme.
Xiao Shi was poked in the lung tube, and he felt very uncomfortable, and he wanted to persuade Gu Xin'er again, but seeing that she directly pulled the quilt to cover herself, she had to sigh helplessly.
She had already felt the changes in Gu Xin'er, and her daughter finally knew that she had used her brain to plan for herself, but she was really uneasy in her heart.
Lin Ruan withdrew his ability and was noncommittal to Gu Xin'er's thoughts.
In ancient times, the status of women was low, even if the folk customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty were relatively open, but the status of women was not high.
The Gu family didn't dare to let Gu Xin'er's identity be exposed, so Gu Xin'er was an adopted daughter and had the reputation she had made before, and it would not be easy to marry someone in the future. That's why Gu Xin'er was anxious to find a way out for herself.
It's just that the way out of marrying the third prince as a concubine is, in her opinion, similar to a dead end.
The third prince is not a good person, there are groups of concubines in the backyard, Gu Xin'er is not very smart, although she looks good, but what kind of beauty has the third prince never seen?
In the end, it is still too naΓ―ve.
However, she didn't want to stop it, after all, cutting off someone's future is like killing her parents.
Gu Xin'er was in a hurry to marry the third prince, and it was a good way to block some of the entanglements of the third prince for her.
