Chapter 5: Temptation

"Although he seems to be a bit unobtrusive, and even his reputation outside is not very good, you have never heard of him oppressing the people, have you?"

Saying that, the Zhou family seemed to feel more and more that Yan Shizi was more suitable, and couldn't help but persuade again: "What's more, he is a serious royal prince, if he can really protect you, then you ......."

Even if he really responded, it didn't matter.

It's just that before this sentence really came out, Gu Wushuang already showed displeasure: "Do you want your daughter to be a concubine?" ”

"I didn't mean that, I ......"

"Mother, the daughter of the Gu family will never be a concubine with anyone, this is the rule set by my grandfather."

Gu Wushuang shook his head, not giving Zhou a chance to speak again: "I have my own plans for this, you are also tired for a day, go back and rest first." ”

Saying that, Gu Wushuang directly ordered someone to send the Zhou family back.

After a pause, after the Zhou family left, Gu Wushuang raised his eyes and glanced at Steward Zhao on the side: "Uncle Zhao, what is ...... today?"

"Maybe it's for those fields, right?"

Steward Zhao was also a little unsure: "Although the emperor has decreed that he will not pursue it, there was a reward in the palace when he was knighted before, and the two Zhuangzi and the surrounding fields are almost 100 acres, and there are also the feudal towns on the title, which were all taken back together when they were knighted." ”

"And before, in addition to the two Zhuangzi itself, the fields around the Zhuangzi and the fields of Hou Yeyi were all taken care of by the clan, so I estimated ......."

Steward Zhao didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning of this couldn't be more obvious.

"Field?" Gu Wushuang directly hooked the corners of his lips when he heard this.

It is all the private property of the Hou Mansion, but in recent years, except for a few melons, fruits and vegetables, the grain rent of the fields next to it has not been ......

"Let people keep an eye on it!"

Gu Wushuang was originally a little suspicious, but now when he heard this, he suddenly understood everything: "Look at the elder of the big clan, this matter shouldn't be so easy, let's pay attention to it first." ”

As he spoke, Gu Wushuang suddenly frowned as if he had thought of something.

"Second Miss?"

"It's okay, Uncle Zhao, let's go get busy first, I'll go and see my mother."

Gu Wushuang shook his head, didn't explain much, just casually answered and followed back to the backyard.

At this time, the Zhou family just lay down, raised his eyes and caught a glimpse of Gu Wushuang coming in, and couldn't help but sit up quickly.

"Mother." Seeing this, Gu Wushuang hurriedly stopped, then helped her to sit on the head of the bed and half-lay down, then took another coat and put it on her, and then spoke again, and said softly: "I want to go to Jingguo Mansion to have a look." ”

Xu Ziqing, the Duke of Jingguo, in addition to being the elder of the pavilion personally enshrined by the first emperor, is also the current prince and young master.

Although they are all false titles, their influence in the court is very large.

So if there is anyone else who can help now, it is probably only the Xu family, right?

"What are you going to do at the Jingguo Mansion?" Zhou subconsciously frowned: "Do you want to go to Xu Ge Lao to intercede?" ”

Zhou's Fu Ling was very heartfelt, but he guessed Gu Wushuang's plan in an instant, and immediately refused without thinking about it: "No!" ”

Zhou Shi Zhengse, speaking straight to grab Gu Wushuang's hand: "You can't go!"

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, although in his selfish heart, the Zhou family did not want to go to the Xu family to ask for help, but Xu Ge, a person who is so disciplined, how could he change his principles because of Gu Wushuang's plea?

Not to mention that Xu Ge Lao didn't like Gu Wushuang a little much from the beginning......

"You know, Xu Ge Lao didn't agree with your marriage to Xu Maoxing at the beginning, if you really ask now, then what should you do if you marry Xu Maoxing and enter the door of the Xu family one day?"

Saying that, Zhou's eyes unconsciously turned red again: "I feel sorry for Cheng'er, but you are also my own daughter who was conceived in October, how can I ignore your happiness because of Cheng'er?" ”

"I just want to inquire about Xu Maoxing's whereabouts."

Gu Wushuang shook his head, held Zhou's hands with his backhand and patted them lightly: "You also heard Yan Shizi's words before, if you didn't know it before, it would be fine, but now that you know...... I'm always bad or don't do anything. ”

After all, at this time, she was still Xu Maoxing's unfinished wife, so it was reasonable for her to do something.

"Really?" Zhou didn't seem to believe it, but Gu Wushuang didn't explain more, just nodded and directly ordered someone to set the meal, and then accompanied Zhou to eat some food and went back to his courtyard directly.

Then after everything was taken care of, Gu Wushuang went directly to the Jingguo Mansion early the next morning.

When Duchess Ning first heard that she was only Gu Wushuang alone, she couldn't help frowning instantly, but when she thought of Zhou's temperament and the current situation of the Gu family, she couldn't help but be instantly relieved.

"Auntie." In the small garden in the backyard of the Guogong Mansion, Gu Wushuang saw that the Ning clan was already waiting, so he couldn't help but hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Hurry up." Ning Shi smiled, and when he saw this, he hurriedly helped her, and then when Gu Wushuang got up, he directly pulled her to him.

"Looks a little thinner."

The Ning family really likes Gu Wushuang, and she insisted on setting this marriage at the beginning, so her concern for Gu Wushuang at the moment is naturally more sincere.

"Is your mother okay? And Allure, I heard that she was pregnant, and she ...... What are you going to do? ”

"What can you do?"

Gu Wushuang smiled bitterly, and naturally could see that Ning's concern was sincere, so he didn't hide it at the moment: "I'm not afraid of my aunt's jokes, my mother and I didn't know the news until yesterday." ”

Since the death of the Gu family's father and son, the connection between the Gu family and the imperial court has gradually been broken, especially after King Yu also followed the accident, the people who had dealings with the Gu family in the past have almost cut off contact, and Gu Wushuang's source of information is only the newspaper published by the imperial court.

"Then you haven't visited your sister yet?"

Ning frowned, but after seeing Gu Wushuang follow the silence, he sighed unconsciously: "It's also difficult for you." ”

"I heard your uncle say that the original Criminal Department and Dali Temple were hanged, but when they reported to the emperor for decision, they were stopped by your father's colleagues in the old department."

After a pause, Ning told all the news he knew: "Because of their intercession, and the fact that King Yu has been ambushed, and it was later confirmed that your sister is pregnant, this matter has been put on hold for the time being." ”

"But I don't think it will take too long, at most by the end of this month."

Saying that, Ning Shi paused again, then thought to himself for a moment, and then spoke again, "Either I want to think about it, even if it ends up ...... At least so that your sisters can see each other first? ”

"Really?" Gu Wushuang was overjoyed when he heard this, but he frowned again in an instant: "But the edict is not as good as the place, if the aunt comes forward...... Will it cause trouble for my aunt? ”
