Chapter 108: Exposed
It is not a secret that Gu came back in the palace in the past, and it is even more of a secret that he has entered the palace today.
After coming out of the emperor's place, he planned to leave everything with his father, but Princess Changping, who had learned the news of him, was already waiting for them outside, and when she saw them coming out from a distance, she hurried to greet them.
Because she glanced at him back then, she still can't forget it, even if her father wants to give him another marriage for her, she is still refusing, and the emperor has a headache if she makes too much trouble, so she simply follows her first, and if she doesn't marry, she won't marry.
"Brother Nian." She hurried over and called out to him.
Ning Guohou glanced at it, shook his sleeves and left.
He couldn't control what happened to the marriage back then, so he simply pretended not to see it.
"Princess, is there something wrong?" Gu Qiannian stopped and asked.
Is there something wrong? What can she do with him, the corners of her mouth moved, her heart was sour, if it wasn't for her father who changed his will again, she would have married him today, so she asked: "Are you okay?" ”
"Very good, since the princess is fine, the king will leave first, the king's concubine is pregnant, and she can't be kept waiting." The detached and polite answer made Princess Changping stumble, she couldn't believe it, and she couldn't even accept what he said.
What is his beloved concubine, what is pregnant, who is it?
"She, who is she?" She subconsciously asked, and the name and face of Shang Xi had popped up in her mind.
"The princess knows, take her leave."
"......" Princess Changping looked at his departing back, which was stiff and firm like a pine tree planted in the palace.
His words were detached and polite, and she felt like a thousand-pound stone weighing down.
She's pregnant, she's pregnant.
They got married, she never had the opportunity to face his main room, even if she was willing to be wronged, she could only be the name of the concubine, the position of the concubine belonged to that person, if another son came out, there was almost no way to shake it, and she could only be the side concubine in this life.
For a while, Princess Changping was hateful and angry in her heart, as if she had been reduced to the position of a side concubine, but she never thought that she might not even be able to get the position of a side concubine.
~
Gu left in the past year, and his father was still waiting for him in front.
The two fathers and sons left the palace together and got into the carriage to return.
Along the way, neither father nor son spoke, and Ning Guohou didn't want to speak much now, what he should have said had already been said in the study when he came back.
He also knows Princess Changping's thoughts, but now that her sons are married, Princess Changping is still willing to grieve herself to be a side concubine? Ning Guohou didn't think much about it, so Princess Changping was unwilling at most.
The carriage clattered back, he didn't speak, his son was like a piece of wood or ice, and he wouldn't say a word to him, his mother had already married someone else, what else did he think of him? Ning Guohou was full of resentment in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
It's just that Ning Guohou didn't expect that they would leave for a long time, this Shang Xi had just returned to the house for a few hours, and she couldn't be quiet for a moment, she didn't feel comfortable if she didn't do something, or did she still think that she was Her Royal Highness Mo Lan at the beginning, and everyone had to respect her and let her!
Ning Guohou found out that his daughter was injured on her face, and not long after he came back, the second lady came to him with her daughter and asked him about the meal, saying that the eldest prince and they were back, and I don't know how long they stayed this time, and they were pregnant over there, how to arrange this meal...... As the second lady was talking about this, the fourth lady was sobbing on the side, and Ning Guohou noticed that his daughter's face was red and swollen, which made him shocked and angry, and hurriedly asked what was going on......
The fourth lady cried and threw herself into his arms and said: "Father, I don't want to live anymore, my marriage is already like this, and now this Shang Xi will use her identity as the king of Zhenbei to press me as soon as she comes back, and I will splash happiness in my face when I say a word, saying that I am not qualified to talk to her, she is now the princess of Zhenbei, my face is now made like this, how can I marry, if the prince knows that my face has become like this, he will definitely not want to marry me again......"
Ning Guohou looked at his daughter's red and swollen face angrily, and hurriedly asked, "Have you taken the medicine, have you asked the doctor to see it?" ”
"I've seen it, I've taken medicine." The second lady answered on the side.
The fourth lady cried and said: "Because we are concubines, she is now the princess of Zhenbei, and I don't even have the qualifications to talk to her now, because I am a concubine, and my face is burned now, because I am a concubine, I have to marry such a person now......"
Ning Guohou was upset when he heard this, and gritted his teeth: "This His Royal Highness Mo Lan really thought that he was His Royal Highness Mo Lan back then. He was about to go out of his legs, wanting to ask her and teach her a lesson.
She is now the daughter-in-law of the Gu family, and he is always qualified to teach her a lesson.
"Master Hou, where are you going?" The second lady knew that he wanted to go to Shang Xi, but she still hurriedly stopped him.
"I'll ask her."
"Master Hou, don't ask, I'm afraid that it will make the eldest son unhappy again, and it will also cause a rift between your father and son, Xing'er's injury will be fine."
The second lady was aggrieved and empathetic, she has always been empathetic.
Hou Ye was even more angry in his heart, he was a member of his Gu family when he entered the door of his Gu family, so he had to abide by the rules of his Gu family, even if she was the princess of Zhenbei and had a noble status, she couldn't beat whoever she wanted, not to mention that it was his daughter who was beaten.
This His Royal Highness Mo Lan has been vicious since he was a child, and he is still so vicious, his son is reluctant to teach her a lesson, and he, who is a father-in-law, can't be presumptuous by her. When she came to Anguo Divine Mansion, the children up and down the Anguo Divine Mansion were not afraid of her, and now it is not what it used to be, he will not come by her temperament.
comforted the second lady and the fourth lady, and only said that they could eat wherever they liked to eat in Qingfeng East Courtyard, and the mother and daughter retreated if they had nothing to do.
Of course, Ning Guohou also knew that the second lady deliberately wanted to show him her daughter's injuries and wanted him to come out, her daughter was bullied, and she was a concubine, if he didn't come forward, no one would come forward for her. He didn't mind that the second lady used such a small trick, what he minded was that Shang Xi dared to treat his daughter like this, it was simply the opposite.
Ning Guohou paced in the room for a while, but still bluffed.
After all, this is not a glorious thing, he went to teach his daughter-in-law a lesson, so he didn't let the people below follow, and he went to Qingfeng East Courtyard.
Ning Guohou walked out along the verandah, but saw Gu Qingyi standing there at a corner, she was in a daze at the pond in front of her, maybe she heard someone coming, she hurriedly turned around, and when she saw that he was coming from here, she shouted timidly: Uncle.
"Hmm." He answered, glanced at Gu Qingyi, and suddenly found that she seemed to be crying.
Over the years, he has actually cared very little about Gu Qingyi, the court and the central government are busy with a bunch of things, and his children have a bunch of messy things that are enough for him to worry about, where would he think of Gu Qingyi too many things, although she is nineteen years old, he doesn't even remember how old she is, just think she is still young.
"You, what's wrong?" Now that he saw the child, he still asked with concern.
Gu Qingyi's voice was a little choked and said, "I, I just thought that in a few days it would be my father's death day, and I felt sad." ”
When it comes to her father, Ning Guohou is so sad that she still feels angry.
This second brother, he just treats him too well, he refuses to stay in the house to take care of the Gu family's property, and it is up to him, he wants to travel around and it is up to him, he is too dependent on him, so that he can give birth to such a mind, and he actually thinks about his sister-in-law with all his heart, but he pities his child.
Ning Guohou was secretly thinking about this in his heart, Gu Qingyi suddenly knelt down with a thud, sobbed and said: "Uncle, I was confused for a while, and I listened to the words of the second lady, so I took the letter to you and said that the eldest lady had a personal affair with my father......"
"......" Ning Guohou was stunned for a moment, what does this kid mean by this!
"Uncle, my father and mother passed away one after another, and the second lady has always treated me very well, often come to accompany me, she said that the eldest lady and my father have an affair, my mother was angry with the eldest lady, I believed, she asked me to take a letter written by my father similar to a love poem to show you, said let me get justice for my mother, I also believed, I listened to her, I have been regretting it all these years, I know that my father and the eldest lady have no personal relationship, my father and mother have always been affectionate, because my mother gave birth to me was a difficult birth, Later, I couldn't get pregnant again, my father because he loved his mother, and he refused to take a concubine, I was afraid that if I didn't do what the second lady said, she would ignore me, at that time the eldest lady had lost her mind, and the second lady was afraid that you would cure her illness, so she came up with such a method, I was confused for a while and harmed the eldest lady, and now the eldest lady has left you, I regret it every time I think of it, I can't sleep at night, it is my momentary confusion, not only hurt the eldest lady, but also hurt my father's reputation was ruined......"
What she said was true or false, and Ning Guohou only felt unstable under his feet......
"What you say is true." He asked through gritted teeth, almost with all his strength.
"Uncle, I've been having trouble sleeping all these years, if you want to punish me, punish me, I'm ashamed of my aunt, father, and you......" She sobbed lowly, and fell to the ground and cried quietly......
Ning Guohou was so angry that his hands and feet trembled slightly, this second lady had a vicious mind.
At the beginning, he did listen to her greedy words to believe the inexplicable letter even more......
If it weren't for her whispering in his ear from time to time that the second brother has been walking with Liang Liang more often, intentionally or unintentionally, saying that they would make others think more, others would already be discussing it in private......
After listening to it a lot, he also secretly had some guesses, and then Liang Liang went crazy, I heard that he was practicing what kind of skills he went mad, his second brother went to take care of him day and night, and even forced her to perform gong again and again regardless of his body, which eventually led to his death, when the letter was sent to him by Gu Qingyi, the anger he secretly hid in his heart exploded.
If there is no unclear relationship, who will risk their own lives for the sake of others.
