Chapter 31 You Have the Courage to Kneel for Me, But You Don't Have the Courage to Help Your Son
Jiang Qizheng had been chatting with Princess Yang for a long time, and when she didn't see Qiu Lulan come out, she was a little suspicious that this Ningyi County Lord had already arrived first, what happened to Mrs. Gu and the Tang family. Just as he was about to bring out the princess's shelf and let Princess Yang tell the truth, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the little maid came in and said, "Mrs. Gu and Lord Ningyi are here." β
Princess Yang smiled reluctantly and glanced at Princess Chunfu - although this is the Xihe Palace, Princess Chunfu is of the same grade as the princess, and she is a guest. β
A moment later, Qiu Lulan Shi Ran entered the door, half a step behind behind him, followed by the freshened Mrs. Gu.
"Her Royal Highness the Unknown Princess is here today, but what do you have to say?" Everyone is polite again, and Princess Yang can be regarded as leading the topic to the tacit topic that everyone knows.
Sure enough, Jiang Qizheng said apologetically: "It's for the sake of yesterday's misinformation, which damaged the name of the Lord of Ningyi County, and I am here to explain." β
Princess Yang's heart was full of bitterness: "Little cheap. People are already very difficult to deal with, and the Jiang family is still protecting her everywhere! Will we be able to live this day in the future? β
But he had to put on a smiling face to thank Jiang Qizheng for coming to return the innocence of Xihe Wangfu in person - after the kind words, Jiang Qizheng didn't say anything, and discussed the rhetoric with the Jiang family this night: "Yesterday we held a speech meeting in Yunyi Building, as for why we invited Lord Ningyi, I think the princess and Mrs. Gu both knew." However, what the two of you didn't know was that I changed into men's clothes for the convenience of my movement. β
Hearing this, everyone knows the method of the Jiang family's round field-
"Yesterday we booked two adjacent private rooms in Yunyi Building, but one was booked in the name of my starling brother, of course, he also has a private room with my nineteenth brother, which is far away from the place where we have a speech meeting."
This is the most correct thing that the Jiang family thinks Jiang Yadan did yesterday, that is, in order to teach Jiang Yashuang to be a qualified Jiang family man, in addition to "curling and offering jade", he quietly booked a private room, so as not to have nowhere to stay when he gets it.
"The two adjacent private rooms, one of which we have a word meeting, and the other is for the county lord of Ningyi - after all, we often have fun at the word meeting, but the county lord of Ningyi is inconvenient in filial piety, so the county lord of Ningyi appreciated the begonia and went there to rest."
Jiang Qizheng said without changing his face, "But since I invited the county lord to come over, there is absolutely no reason to leave her alone, so I went over to accompany her-where did I think, because I was wearing men's clothes, and yesterday my nineteenth brother also went out with my starling brother to join in the fun, and it happened to be in a restaurant, which made people talk nonsense!" β
"Later, when I was tired, I thought that my grandmother at home had said that she wanted to meet the county lord of Ningyi, so she took the county lord of Ningyi and the two sisters back to the house first - at that time, I was in the same car with the county lord of Ningyi, and my starling brother was not at ease, so my nineteenth brother sent us back to the house. I don't want to, this is actually rumored to be my nineteenth brother sending the county lord Ning Yi to the courtyard next door, and the person who said these words is simply crazy! β
"So that's the case, I'll just say, this kid has always been well-behaved, and Xihe Wangfu also has a tutor, how could he do such a shameful thing?" It was not Princess Yang who took the opportunity to answer, but Mrs. Gu!
For a while, everyone in the flower hall, including Jiang Qizheng, was stunned. Seeing Mrs. Gu's look of deep approval and undoubtedness, her eyes looking at Qiu Yulan were even more full of pity - even Qiu Yulan was stunned: she stayed behind just now, she intimidated the Tang family and threatened Mrs. Gu, but it was all to let them stop trying to manipulate her and quickly terminate the marriage contract with Deng Yi!
What does this mean, Mrs. Gu?
Qiu Yulan's face suddenly looked ugly!
Seeing this situation, Mrs. Gu actually said in a low voice: "I also heard a lot of talk from people outside, so I told you a few words not to go out casually in the future, where is the suspicion of you?" Now that Princess Chunfu is coming over in person, isn't it just to give you a good name? If you are still unhappy, I, I can't compensate you here, okay? β
He also said, "I don't have a daughter under my knees, and I always want to raise my daughter-in-law as a daughter, so you can't have a relationship with me because of this......"
Qiu Yulan had a gloomy face and said, "Madame's words are serious, how dare I take Madame's reparation?!" β
Seeing this, Jiang Qizheng thought about it and said, "It seems that Mrs. Gu is talking to Lord Ningyi, but she was disturbed by me?" In this case, the two of them are still at their own convenience, and Princess Yang is here. β
Hearing this, Qiu Yulan didn't shirk, got up and saluted, and simply said to Mrs. Gu: "If Mrs. has anything to say, let's go outside and make it clear!" β
Then the two went out and arrived in a secluded place, when Mrs. Gu suddenly called out to Qiu Yulan: "Can you talk alone?" β
Qiu Yulan is used to picking up zombies alone, so naturally it doesn't matter.
sent the subordinates to a distance, Mrs. Gu didn't say a word, but knelt down at her with a "plop"!
"What do you mean by that?!" Qiu Yulan's face changed, and she immediately dodged away, but her expression was not surprised, and she said coldly, "Didn't you see what I did just now?" You think you're going to tie me up with your son?! β
Mrs. Gu saw that she refused to accept her gift, but she still kowtowed, and when she looked up, she was already in tears: "Since you already know, then let me tell you directly: as long as you can help my Yi'er get out of Gu Yan's hands, I am willing to promise you anything!" β
Qiu Yulan shook his head: "Who are you and me?" Please, you might as well go and beg the queen! Or it is more reliable to turn back and ask for Princess Chunfu than to beg me! β
Mrs. Gu choked up and said, "It's useless, although those two are not afraid of Gu Yan, how can they be willing to help my poor Yi'er?" β
"But why should I help him?" Qiu Yulan asked rhetorically, "It's too late for me to hide from Gu Yan!" β
"You don't want to wade into this muddy water, you won't have no choice." Mrs. Gu laughed miserably, "Seeing what you did to the Tang family just now, I know, if a person like you marries Yi'er, how can you tolerate Gu Yan's idea of beating your husband and wife?!" I know that Yi'er is not worthy of you now, and I don't dare to ask you for a round house, I just ask you to help him after passing the door, he is free, you want to remarry, I am willing to divide the Deng family's property with you eighty percent! β
Qiu Yulan sneered and said, "Mrs. Gu, you are so naΓ―ve! Do you think that if I tore Tang's clothes today and beat her so hard that she didn't dare to fight back, I would be able to deal with Gu Yan? After all, today is a surprise for you! And this is the Xihe Palace, if the Guangyang Palace, I'm afraid I just pulled the Tang family's robe down a little, and a large number of mothers-in-law rushed into the house to fight with me, right?! β
She said coldly, "Where did I get the ability to deal with Gu Yan?!" Besides, I might as well give you an explanation: I never thought of marrying Ling Lang! Not to mention the round house or something! β
"Do you want me to die in front of you?!" Mrs. Gu thought for a moment, and found that she couldn't do anything about this prospective daughter-in-law now, so she turned a thousand words into a long sigh and asked desperately.
Qiu Yulan squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "That's really sorry, I'm more hard-hearted than Madame you think." Besides, Madame thinks, if I don't want to watch you when you are looking for death, can you die and show me? β
Mrs. Gu choked, sniffed, and took two steps up on her knees to grab Qiu Yulan's skirt - seeing Qiu Yulan retreating vigilantly, she put down her hand in frustration, but slowly stood up and said in a low voice: "Okay, I don't seem to have anything to impress you now." But...... Can I, please, hear about Yi'er? Maybe you'll be willing to help him? β
Qiu Yulan thought to herself that the old lady's own affairs are in full swing now, where can she free up her hands to meddle in her own affairs - it is still an idle matter that will put herself into it if she is not careful!
She doesn't have a bad impression of Deng Yi, but she hasn't reached the point where she is willing to take risks for him!
But Mrs. Gu begged again: "I heard that Princess Ruan loved you very much during her lifetime, and you were also very filial to her. You just think of Princess Ruan, should you be pitiful and pity a mother, okay? β
Speaking of this, Qiu Yulan thought of his parents in his previous life, pursed his lips for a long time, and finally nodded: "You say!" β
"It's all my fault!" Mrs. Gu couldn't help but burst into tears when she got her permission, "Earlier, when Yi'er's father was still there, I lived with his father in the Deng family. But I was young and ignorant at that time, and I always felt that his father was born in a peasant family, and even if he entered Hanlin in Tanhua, the mansion he bought was not luxurious enough, and the food and clothing were not exquisite enough! And although I am a concubine, I was raised by Concubine Guangyang as her own daughter, so after hearing me say that I was not used to living in the Deng family, I often sent people to take me back to the palace...... Later, his father was gone, and not long after, the concubine was gone......"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Gu's face suddenly turned pale, as if she had suffered some pain on the verge of collapse for a moment, and she breathed for a moment before she could continue, "The concubine treats me as if she was her own child, and of course I am very sad when she passes away, so I took Yi'er back to the palace to mourn." At that time, Gu Yan persuaded me to take Yi'er to live in the palace, because I was afraid that I would work too hard alone. β
"Actually, he was going for Deng Yi?" Qiu Yulan felt that this story was almost heard here, so he spoke, "As far as I know, it doesn't seem that Gu Yan is taboo for men and women in the past few years, right?" "Since it was something that happened before, how long do you have a heart and eyes, will you die!
Mrs. Gu said bitterly: "Ruan Qingyan is also very fortunate in the hook column, but do you suspect that he has ill intentions towards you?" β
Seeing Qiu Yulan frowning, she sighed abruptly, "How much do you trust Ruan Qingyan now, how much I trusted Gu Yan back thenβyou must know that although I am his aunt, I am actually not a few years older than him, because of the love of the concubine, we were like sisters and brothers back then...... At that time, Yi'er was only four or five years old, how could I have thought that he was such a beautiful young man, and he would start Yi'er's idea so early?! β
Qiu Yulan thought to herself that your mother and son looked like a race and a disaster to the country and the people, but they had no awareness of preventing others from beating your mind...... This is planted on the head, I really have to blame you, a mother, for not taking care of her son!
"So Gu Yan waited for Deng Yi to grow up and used strong on him?" Qiu Yulan asked.
Mrs. Gu smiled desolately: "If that's all there is to it...... Gu Yan him, when he was a child, he guided everyone behind his back to guide him to be a good man...... By the time I found out, Yi'er didn't even want to approach me! β
Qiu Yulan suddenly realized that Deng Yi's misogyny came from Gu Yan's indoctrination!
"Hengzhu, your son is only in his teens now, and it may not be too late for you to correct it if you start teaching now." Qiu Yulan narrowed her eyes and said, "As for getting out of Gu Yan's control, I think you might as well pin your hopes on your queen mother - according to the few times I have seen the queen mother, the queen mother still likes Deng Yi very much." He can read again, as long as he lets the Queen Mother see that his talent is worth maintaining, is he afraid that the Queen Mother will not give him the master? As for me, I still say the same thing: I can't help him! β
Mrs. Gu's eyes instantly dimmed: "I knelt in front of the Queen Mother for four hours. β
The results are not known.
"Are you really, not saved?" Mrs. Gu looked at Qiu Yulan's unmoved expression, and asked desolately, "I have always hoped that Yi'er can have a capable fiancΓ©e so that she can give him a handβI originally thought that you were the wife that Gu Yan had set for him, and you would definitely not be the one who could help him...... But I didn't want to, Gu Yan looked away! β
"I thought this was Yi'er's vitality, didn't they all say that there is no endless road?" Seeing that she seemed to be planning to leave, Mrs. Gu desperately went up to pull the corner of her clothes, "You can't, pity our mother and son, pity and pity Yi'er?!" He's really not bad, is he?! β
Qiu Yulan turned around and looked at her speechlessly: "You have the courage to please me, the person who humiliated you just now, in public!" You have the courage to kneel down to me! You still have the courage to die to show me! Why don't you have the courage to help your son yourself? Do you want to be so strange that you pin your ethereal hopes on a spicy daughter-in-law? β
Mrs. Gu was stunned!
"In short, save your son and go by himself, don't drag me into the water!" Qiu Yulan said lightly, "Otherwise, I may not be able to pull him up, but I may not be able to step on him further!" Although she didn't think Deng Yi was annoying, for Mrs. Gu, the necessary beating was inevitable - Qiu Yulan didn't want to be hated by her at a critical moment!
What she didn't know was that after seeing her leave, Mrs. Gu's expression suddenly became extremely calm, not at all like begging a junior but to no avail, but she was a little relieved, and muttered to herself: "'Tianya' why did I use Yi'er as a fan to beg this little girl?" β
After thinking about it, he sighed again, "Alas, I just ask them to do it quickly and help me and Yi'er get out of the Guangyang Palace-why bother with other things!" β
The soft breeze gently brushed her beautiful face, but it couldn't shake away the distant sadness......
