Chapter 233: Gu Fengmao's Confession
Gu Fengmao is the prime minister, and his words are naturally weighty, although the uncle of the Tian family who was embarrassed before was still dissatisfied, Tian Yongnian stepped forward to observe the etiquette of Gu Fengmao, and asked softly:
"Yes, what my uncle said is, it's just that the Tian family's welcoming team came with me, if you can't welcome the five girls, then my family can't explain it, the parents and guests at home are waiting for us to welcome the bride back, if you return with an empty sedan chair, I'm afraid of ......"
Gu Fengmao sighed, also a little embarrassed, Gu Ziqian whispered to Gu Fengmao from the side: "Dad, or marry the fifth sister first, the things in the house are always good to say, and ...... then."
After Gu Ziqian whispered in Gu Fengmao's ear for a while, Gu Fengmao looked at Tian Yongnian again.
Tian Yongnian's sincerity in welcoming his relatives is full, if what Gu Ziqian said before, if it is true, it is just that Gu Xiuxian's people accidentally injured Concubine Shu, the emperor is distressed, and he wants to give an explanation, anyway, Concubine Shu is a member of the Gu family, and it is impossible to stand by and watch this matter, that is, it is a formality, which is not a big deal.
If the proposal is delayed because of this, Tian Yongnian also feels that it is not worth it, and besides, everything is ready on the Tian family's side, if there is no bride to take it back at this time, it will not only damage the face of the Gu family, but the most important thing is the face of his Tian family.
Gu Fengmao hesitated for a while, feeling that marrying Gu Xiuxian at this time would be a hidden danger, but now that the arrow was on the line, he had to send it, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he nodded and said:
"Go and let Xi Niang redress Sister Xian'er, and get on the sedan chair at the auspicious time."
Gu Xiuxian was hurriedly sent to the Tian family's sedan chair, Gu Fengmao asked Gu Ziqian and Gu Bohou to greet the guests instead of him, and he returned to the room to talk to Wang.
Wang's from the beginning of the wedding banquet said that he was sick and did not see guests, although the ladies of the various mansions felt strange, but there was no rumor at all, Gu Fengmao asked the maid to open the curtain for him to enter the door, and Wang was resting on the soft couch behind the screen.
Gu Fengmao held his hand, gave the cloak on his body to Ding's mother who was waiting in the room, and asked her to take the maids out, and she walked into the screen, Wang heard Gu Fengmao come in early, and after feeling that someone sat down next to her, she opened her eyes, she supported her head with one hand, and looked sick.
opened his eyes and looked at Gu Fengmao, then turned around, Gu Fengmao sighed, and asked:
"Don't you want to tell me why you had to invite Concubine Xian back to attend Sister Xian'er's wedding banquet at that time? What the hell are you hiding from me behind your back? ”
Gu Fengmao didn't know about Wang's poisoning of Gu Banqin, but what happened today made him suspicious.
When Wang heard that Gu Fengmao finally asked about this, he couldn't help but turn around and say, "I don't have anything to say." Now that Sister Shu'er's life and death are uncertain, you let her be taken away like this, so ruthless, are you also a father? ”
For Helian Hongyi to bring Gu Nianshu back to the palace to heal this matter, the Wang family was quite dissatisfied, originally she was the same as Gu Nianshu, looking down on the Helian clan who won the world on horseback, and felt that the Helian clan had too shallow foundation, no foundation, and was not worthy of her fairy baby daughter, but she had no way not to obey the emperor's orders, so she began to complain that Gu Fengmao had no ability.
Gu Fengmao frowned and said coldly:
"What are you talking about? I don't worry about Shu'er, but what the emperor said is not bad, there are many doctors in the palace, there are many medicines, the emperor will never let Shu'er die and not save her, let the emperor take her back to the palace, it is indeed better than being in our house, besides, the king's order cannot be violated, what do you want me to do? ”
"Over the years, the emperor has been committed to the reform of the scholar system, and our Gu family is already on the cusp, although the branches have been cut a lot, but the main vein emperor looks at my face, and he hasn't moved after all, in this situation, can I still openly oppose the emperor because of this matter?"
Gu Fengmao only felt that the gentle and considerate, dignified and generous wife in front of him had changed, since Gu Banqin's position in the palace was higher than Gu Nianshu's, she had become complaining all the time, and her temperament had changed a lot.
Seeing that Gu Fengmao was angry, Wang sat up from the soft couch, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes:
"I didn't let you openly oppose the emperor, I just felt sorry for my sister-in-law, I don't know what kind of crime I was suffering at this time, and I, as a mother, couldn't be by her side."
Speaking of his daughter, Gu Fengmao was also distressed, sighed, and turned the topic back:
"It's useless to worry, when I go to court tomorrow, I will ask in person, and I won't ignore it, but you have to tell me, what happened in the backyard today, why did you let Sister Xian take hot tea and splash Concubine Xian? Will there be an argument with Sister Xian again? ”
Wang slapped the veil, his eyes were cold, and he said angrily:
"After today's incident, I realized how powerful and hateful that Gu Banqin was!"
Wang said this, and then told how she bought the palace maid next to Gu Banqin to poison Gu Banqin.
"But who knows, God has no eyes, and actually let Gu Banqin secretly know the news, and turned around and calculated this on my Shu'er, she is really vicious, I knew that she was like this today, when she crawled out of the belly of that slut in the Duan family, I should have sent someone to suffocate her to death."
When Gu Fengmao heard this, he finally couldn't help but weaken his legs, sat down on the chair on the side, pointed at Wang, couldn't speak for a long time, his face was full of shock and fear, and after a long time, he barely made a sound:
"You. You. It's just daring. How dare you, how dare you! ”
Wang was not much surprised by Gu Fengmao's shock, she just knew that if she told Gu Fengmao, he wouldn't dare to do it, so she hid it from him, and snorted coldly:
"Hmph, why don't I dare? What kind of background is Gu Banqin, and she dares to stand on the head of our Shu'er and spread wild? With her foxy tricks, the emperor was fascinated, I am doing the right thing for heaven and teaching her a lesson, so that she knows what kind of life should be! ”
"If I don't make a move, wait until she is promoted one step further, and when the time comes, will it be possible for us to call her the queen mother? The queen is our Shu'er's, my daughter's, why is she a stinky dancing girl born in Gu Banqin? ”
Wang's words were very vicious, so that Gu Fengmao didn't know how to react, moved his thirsty throat, and said in a deep voice: "Even if she has a bad background, she is also my species, you say that she is a wild seed, are you scolding me?" ”
Gu Fengmao's tone couldn't hear joy and anger, but Wang obviously felt that something was wrong, and what else he wanted to say to Gu Fengmao was slapped by Gu Fengmao's raised hand, and he lowered his voice and said angrily:
"I have always respected you, and I think you are a good wife, a good mother, and a good helper, but now it seems that you are even more shallow than ordinary vulgar women, when you did it to Gu Banqin, did you ever think that this kind of behavior would put me and the Gu family in a situation from which we could never recover? You will ruin our Gu family, do you know? ”
"Gu Banqin, no matter what her background is, she is now a virtuous concubine, just like no matter how much you don't like the Helian clan, they have already taken over the world and become the emperor, if you don't want to accept it, then there is only one way to rebel, but today I tell you, if you want to die, don't pull hundreds of lives from my Gu family, you want to die yourself, do you understand?"
Gu Fengmao's suppressed voice sounded in the room, and every word was like a slap, crackling on Wang's face, and the arrogant mask she was wearing before was all over the place, and she was embarrassed.
Gu Fengmao didn't want to care about her anymore, and after saying those words, he turned around and was about to leave, but Wang was stunned for a while, and hurriedly chased after her.
"You, what are you going to do? You're not going to get this out, are you? Gu Fengmao, you have to think clearly, if you want to hand me over this matter, I will definitely bite you to death, and when the time comes, even if you don't rebel, your Gu family will never recover, don't force me. ”
The Wang family had said those words before, in fact, after she knew that Gu Banqin had counterattacked Gu Nianshu, she began to worry that this matter would be stabbed on the table, and when the time came to investigate deeply, everything she did would be exposed in front of people, and the emperor would definitely not let her go.
Therefore, after Gu Fengmao said those words, she turned around, and she nervously thought that Gu Fengmao was going to sue her, and she couldn't help but say such face-tearing words to Gu Fengmao on impulse.
Gu Fengmao turned his head and glared at the Wang family angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "It's stupid." ”
After speaking, Gu Fengmao pushed away Wang's hand with all his might, pushed Wang so much that he couldn't help but take several steps back, and sat down on the ground, the more weak he became, the more excited he became:
"Gu Fengmao, you come back for me! Gu Fengmao! ”
But under Wang's sharp voice, Gu Fengmao never returned. This is the first time that the couple has quarreled, and I believe it will be the last.
Because the Wang family knows that after today, even if Gu Fengmao does not stop her, he will definitely not trust the Wang family as much as before, and obey the words of the Wang family, and the image of a virtuous woman that the Wang family has worked hard for so many years has completely collapsed.
Of course, Gu Fengmao would not be stupid enough to sue the Wang family to the court, nor would he poke out all the things that the Wang family had done behind his back, because in that case, not only the Wang family would be ruined, but also the entire Gu family.
But when something happened, he always had to give an explanation, so three days later, Gu Fengmao took the results of the 'investigation' to the Taihe Hall to find Helian Hongyi to restore his life.
"It is true that the supervision of the family is not strict, and the minister found out after a round of investigation that the person who poisoned the hairpin of Sister Xian was a maid who used to serve the lady Niangniang, named Cuizhu, she was adopted by Mrs. when she was a child.
Unexpectedly, this woman was vicious and jealous, and she had hurt Concubine Shu before, and this time she was also jealous. The minister has asked for all the confessions, and wrote them on the fold, this woman is hateful, but my wife and I watched grow up, and I asked the emperor to ...... Drop from a light hair. ”
