Chapter 185: The Threat of the Gu Family
Mo Xiaoxiao and Xiao Er came out of He Yuwen's house, and hurried back to the hotel where they were staying, just before Gu Qingfeng and Gu Yichen came back from the bureau.
In the courtyard of the Gu family
Lin Luoqi combed his hair like Bisi in the mirror, and asked casually to Cailan, the personal maid next to him.
"They're back?"
The girl on the side heard Lin Luoqi's question, and hurriedly replied: "Madam, they have already gone back, today they went to find the eldest lady, and stayed in Mr. He's house for another day, and they hurried back near evening. β
Lin Luoqi smiled lightly and continued to ask, "Has Zhao Yin's people discovered his whereabouts?" β
"Mrs. Hui, no, Mrs. Zhao went out to play cards on this day and has not come back yet, I should not know, Mrs. will rest assured." Zeran responded.
On the second day, in the courtyard of the Gu family, Gu Qingfeng held a letter tightly in his hand, his brows were furrowed and his face was pale, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, so early in the morning, Gu Qingfeng took a note in the hands of the family, saying that a little beggar came to call the door early in the morning, and then handed a note that was very well wrapped, and the family members did not dare to slack off, so they hurriedly took the letterhead and hurriedly handed it to Gu Qingfeng's hand.
Gu Qingfeng sat on the chair in the living room, originally in a happy mood with a spring breeze on his face, but as soon as this letter came, it was like a basin of cold water, and it was poured down coldly, which made Gu Qingfeng angry, and the anger in his heart was also burning, but he didn't know who wrote it, so he could only secretly be angry and helpless, the iron fist that was held tightly made a gurgling sound, and his face was like ashes, which made people feel afraid to see it.
Gu Qingfeng was so angry that his face was as green and cold as a refreshing eggplant, at this time, Gu Yichen smiled and walked in briskly from outside the door, holding a red post in his hand, perhaps because of the festive atmosphere, Gu Yichen didn't even notice the strangeness of Gu Qingfeng's mood at all, and bowed his head slightly when he entered the door, and said respectfully.
"Father, all the invitations have been handed out, and everything that should be taken care of has been taken care of, this is the purchase of some important items on the guest list, and I ask my father to take a look at it and see if there are any imperfections." Gu Yichen said calmly as he handed over the red booklet.
Unexpectedly, just handed it over, it was snatched away by Gu Qingfeng angrily, and then it was thrown on the ground fiercely, and the case was angrily reprimanded, Gu Yichen was at a loss, and he didn't know why he lost his temper so much early in the morning, and he didn't even know where the anger came from.
"Get out, get out of here." Gu Qingfeng said angrily, the horizontal flesh on his face was also fierce with his rage, and his thick eyebrows were twisted into a ball, and his voice was terrifyingly high, like thunder.
Gu Yichen slowly raised his head at this time, his face was full of temptation and puzzlement, and he looked a little aggrieved, he was silent for a moment, and when Gu Qingfeng's mood stabilized slightly, Gu Yichen tentatively spoke again: "Father, my father was so angry because of something in the morning, my son is stupid, if there is something that my son has not done well, please ask my father to make it clear." β
Gu Qingfeng wanted to say something but didn't speak, his eyebrows were heavy, and he gently kneaded the center of his eyebrows with his fingers, forcibly suppressing his anger.
There was a strong smell of gunpowder in the air, all of which were in a hurry, which made Gu Yichen restless and puzzled, standing aside and silently looking at Gu Qingfeng's tangled contradictions, wanting to say something but not knowing how to speak, fortunately he didn't say a word.
The tension in the air was stalemate for a while, and then Gu Qingfeng suppressed his anger, became calm, raised his head slightly, and instructed Gu Yichen, who was silently on the side: "Okay, you can tell Qing Shui's marriage to be dissolved, this matter has to be discussed in the long run, it's ridiculous, let the news out, the Gu family's marriage has been terminated with the He family for some reason." β
Gu Yichen was so shocked when he heard Gu Qingfeng's words that his jaw almost dropped, and he was taken aback and said in disbelief: "What, dissolve the marriage contract?" Why did the father suddenly break off the marriage? Now that everyone has been announced, the invitations have all been distributed, if the marriage contract is abruptly dissolved at this time, I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate, this is not good for the Gu family, Qingshui or father, there are disadvantages and no benefits, there are rumors behind this, and there are rumors behind it, not to mention the reputation of the Gu family, but also to damage the reputation of Qingshui, at that time it will be difficult to say, father, please think about which is more important, in case Qingshui ......"
Gu Yichen's face was gloomy, and he persuaded Gu Qingfeng bitterly, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Gu Qingfeng angrily.
"Enough, shut me up, don't I know? I have the final say in this matter or not, your father is still alive, can you want to seek power and rebel, right? You just do what I said, I've thought it through, no matter how much others chew their tongues, they can't chew on you, do I still need you to educate me? I've made up my mind, just go down and do it. Gu Qingfeng slapped the table and stood up directly, with his hands behind his back, his eyes were cold and stern, and he said sternly to Gu Yichen.
"Father...... Father thinks twice about the reputation of the Gu family, and may end up with a reputation for not keeping his word in the future, now Jiangcheng people are almost everyone knows that the eldest lady of the Gu family will get married in three days, and this matter has already been rumored, if the marriage contract is dissolved at this time, it is inevitable that others will maliciously speculate and speculate about something, and when the time comes, the gossip will spread like a plague, and it is not a situation that we can control at all, I don't know why my father came into contact with the marriage contract with the He family so suddenly, But no matter what, the dissolution of the marriage contract and the Gu family are not small now, if it really makes a storm in the city, not only will the Gu family become a laughing stock after everyone is full of wine and food, but even Qing Shui will have no face to see people, and my father must not be ...... in this matter."
Gu Yichen fell to the ground on his knees with a "plop", and persuaded Gu Qingfeng with painstaking words, making Gu Qingfeng embarrassed on both sides.
"I've thought of this for a long time, do I still need you to talk about it? Someone sent a note to the Gu family this morning, asking me to dissolve the marriage contract with the He family, otherwise it would ......" Gu Qingfeng's face was pale, and he tilted his head slightly and said with a serious and regretful voice, his heart was as heavy as lead.
"How else?" Gu Yichen hurriedly got up and asked tightly.
"The child in Qing Shui's belly is not He Yuwen, but ...... But there is another person, if we don't dissolve this marriage contract, this person will have to announce the news to the public, originally a woman's unmarried pregnancy is a big evil deed that corrupts the family and morals, and it is to be spit on and poke the backbone, but this child is not her fiancΓ©'s, if this is spread out, won't it be more ridiculous, and I am afraid that Qing Shui will not be able to accept this more cruel fact, and the He family will not be willing to suffer this shame, how can they accept Qing Shui, don't look at the He family is not in the climate now, but the He family's emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, No matter how big it is, and with the fact that the two brothers of the He family work together to turn over, it is only a matter of time, but there is just a lack of opportunity, so this matter must not be exposed. β
Gu Qingfeng sighed softly and said earnestly, with endless remorse and resentment in his heart, which made him miserable.
"How is it possible, didn't He Yuwen enter Qing Shui's room...... Besides, how did the father know that what the man said was true or false, and if the father really canceled the marriage and did it, wouldn't he just admit it? Maybe that person just casually said that he wanted to threaten the Gu family, how did she know if that thing was true or false. Gu Yichen hurriedly refuted Gu Qingfeng's words.
Gu Qingfeng turned his head, looked at Gu Yichen intently, shook his head and continued: "How could He Yuwen do such a thing when he was drunk and unconscious that day, you don't have to question this matter, just do what I say, do it now, the more it drags on, the more it will not work, and she has to do the ideological work of doing Qingshui, lest she can't think about it, this matter has to be considered in the long run, and she must not marry He Yuwen, as soon as this layer of window paper is pierced, it will really be covered with water and there is no room for recovery." β
"But my father...... This matter must not be lifted, wouldn't it be even more suspicious if it was lifted now? Even if you want to lift it, there must be a reason, I'm afraid it won't work in such a hurry, so it won't be able to slow down Qing Shui for a while, even if you lift the child in Qing Shui's belly, what if you lift the child in Qing Shui's belly, when the month is older, the paper can't contain the fire, and sooner or later it will be revealed...... "After thinking about it, Gu Yichen still felt that there was a risk and said.
Gu Qingfeng's gloomy face pulled down again, with an impatient expression and some anger that seemed to be brewing between his eyebrows: "This is not good, that is not appropriate, then you should give me a foolproof plan, but no matter what, as long as it is not contaminated, otherwise there will really be a fish to die and the jade will be burned at that time?" β
There were also layers of cold sweat on Gu Yichen's forehead, and the expressions on his face were also intricately intertwined, and the two were silent with each other for a while, and Gu Yichen seemed to suddenly have an answer.
"Father, I don't know if it's feasible."
Gu Qingfeng glanced at him and said disapprerovingly: "If you have anything, just say it, don't pretend to be vague." β
"The plan to delay the army, you can first postpone it to say that Qing Shui wants to postpone the marriage due to illness, and then release the news later, saying that He Yuwen refuses to accept the seriously ill Qing Shui and asks to dissolve the marriage contract, He Yuwen's lukewarm attitude towards Qing Shui is well known to the family, and it will not make people suspicious when the time comes, so it will also get rid of the pot of this unrighteous person, and now except for the father and mother who know the news that Qing Shui is pregnant, basically no one knows, and it can be postponed until the time when the marriage contract is dissolved, someone will naturally come to the door to propose, Even if you don't see Qingshui, there are people who have long coveted and clinged to the Gu family, and it is not too late to talk about marriage at that time, and it seems reasonable to outsiders, no one will say irresponsible but sympathetic. β
Gu Yichen said calmly.
