Chapter 140: Rupture
"Madame, why are you doing this?" Looking at the distant backs of the three members of the Gu family, Jin'er looked at the gloomy Gu family again, and felt distressed. How the Gu family treats the Gu family, of course she knows. However, with the Gu family, the Gu family is a mother-in-law and a person to rely on, which can always deter some young people.
Without the Gu family, who can protect the Gu family?
Wiping her tears, Jin'er persuaded softly, "The old lady and the prince can come today, it can be seen that there are still you in my heart." They may also have their own considerations. β
Gu Shi smiled, there was no bitterness in his smile, "What they think about is just themselves, who has really thought about it." It's okay that I have nothing to do with them in the future, and they don't have to be ashamed of me, and I won't feel sorry for them anymore. β
"But......" Jin'er stopped talking.
How could Gu not know her worries?
In today's world, there are many harsh criticisms of women. Leaving by himself and breaking out with his daughter, in the eyes of the world, how shocking is it?
She could almost imagine how noisy the rumors in the capital would be. But, so what?
Being able to get rid of Ling Song's slut is the most important thing for her! What's more, even if everyone in the world gives up on her, there will be a pair of children by her side.
"Nothing. I have Asu, I have Amiao, it's enough. β
As he was talking, he saw Ling Miao hurriedly walk in with a cloak embroidered with a moon-white background and blue bamboo patterns. Her green hair was only tied up with a golden crown, and she was not greased and powdered, her face was facing the sky, and her eyebrows were lightly raised, and she was dressed as a handsome young man. Looks like he's just returned from outside.
"Where did you go?" Gu frowned slightly, she got up a little late, and she didn't know that Ling Miao had gone out.
Ling Miao blinked and said honestly, "I'm going to find Old Man Su." β
Although Su Ji is a world-famous miracle doctor, his personality is like an old naughty boy. Ling Miao was familiar with him, so he called him an old man, and he was not angry or annoyed, but said with a smile that Ling Miao was sincere, not the kind of person who made a tone of voice.
"You......" Gu shook his head helplessly.
Ling Miao raised her eyebrows, "Mother, I heard that the Gu family is here?" β
In fact, I didn't hear that she happened to walk face-to-face with Gu Rusong and others at the gate.
Originally, I thought that it was my grandmother and uncle and aunt after all, so I said hello, but who knew that Gu Rusong and his wife glared at her fiercely, and then threw their sleeves away. As for the British duchess, she looked heartbroken all the time, and she didn't even give her a corner of the eye!
Ling Miao knew that it was not good.
She doesn't care about the people of the Gu family. What she was afraid of was that these people had come to hurt Gu's heart.
Fortunately, it seems that the Gu family is quite calm.
"Mother, what are they doing here?" Ling Miao strode to Gu's side, "Did you say something that you didn't like?" β
Gu lovingly pinned Ling Miao's broken hair behind her ear, and said, "Let them go." β
Ling Miao smiled and said, "Yes, the mouth grows on other people's bodies, no matter what they say." β
After a few words of laughter with the Gu family, Ling Miao returned to her residence. Ling Su went to the academy to take leave, and he wouldn't be back until the afternoon. Just moved to the other courtyard, the Gu family has countless things to sort out, and the dowry left in the Wuding Marquis Mansion has to be retrieved - at the beginning, she entered the door of the Ling family with ten miles of red makeup, and what she brought back the day before yesterday was only some close-fitting softness, as well as a lot of large pieces of furniture and antiques. The only thing that the Gu family was glad about was that these things were placed in the small building behind Wutong Garden, and they were not included in the public treasury of the Hou Mansion. Otherwise, there is no telling how much it has been posted over the years!
He called the steward to come in, and ordered him to copy a list of dowries, and tomorrow he would bring someone to the Hou Mansion to bring back the rest of the dowry for himself.
I didn't expect that in the afternoon, Xiao Li would come to the courtyard with a team of people. With him came a long carriage carrying many heavy objects and boxes......
"It's ......"
Gu Shi was surprised and looked at Xiao Li suspiciously.
This young man is as handsome as a celestial, but with an awe-inspiring aura that people dare not look at directly. However, at this moment, there was also a little smile in his eyes.
"When I learned that my wife was out of the city, there were many things that I had not brought with me. I took it upon myself to bring it from the Hou Mansion. I hope that Madame will not blame me for being overstepping. β
Gu Shi wiped his nose with a handkerchief, covered the corners of his twitching mouth, and said gently: "Where is this?" I also want to thank the prince for his help. β
This is from the bottom of my heart. The character of the Ling family, the Gu family really didn't know if it would go well if he would send someone to get back the remaining dowry.
When Xiao Li heard her say this, he bowed slightly, but his eyes fell on Ling Miao beside the Gu family. I don't know if it's my own delusion, Ling Miao actually saw a look similar to asking for merit from his face that deceived Frost Saixue.
She couldn't help but chuckle, and the bright and brilliant smile made the corners of Xiao Li's mouth hook up again.
But it was said that the Gu family and Ling Song were reconciled, which really caused a lot of splashes in Beijing. Although there is harmony and separation in this dynasty, it is still the first part of the Xungui couple and separation, and it involves the Anyang Hou Mansion, and some people say it, and the words are not so good.
The Gu family, who used to be very popular in the circle of noble ladies, has become an existence that everyone avoids for a while. Even Ling Miao, who had friends with handkerchiefs in the past, was told by the elders of the family not to come and move.
Only Cen Yuan never cared about these. When she and her father and brother came back from the border pass, they heard about Gu Heli and Ling Miao's breaking out of the door. She was worried about Ling Miao's friend, and hurried to the courtyard the next day after returning home.
Seeing that Gu and Ling Miao's mother and daughter both looked very good and were in good spirits, they were relieved.
"It really made me worry in vain." After Cen Yuan said hello to Gu's family, she and Ling Miao came to Ling Miao's residence, Begonia served tea, Cen Yuan took it and drank it all, and let out a long sigh of relief before saying to Ling Miao, "I heard about you and Aunt Gu when I entered Beijing yesterday. I wanted to get out of the city immediately, but I didn't want the city gate to be closed. I went to find Sister Chu and wanted to ask her to come and see you. Unexpectedly, she only said that her wedding was imminent and she couldn't go out. Hmph, this is also a sister! β
Cen Yuan's personality has always been straightforward, and if she has anything to say, her mind is not bad. She used to be good friends with Chu Xuanhua Ling Miao, so she thought about the two little sisters wholeheartedly, which one of them was bullied by them, Cen Yuan would definitely speak up. But the little girl was still a little naΓ―ve, Ling Miao was framed for being unclean before, and Chu Xuanhua's inaction had already made her feel a little chilled. But this time, she thought that Ling Miao had such a big event, and she didn't need them to say anything or do anything, but to take a look at Ling Miao together, Chu Xuanhua should not shirk it, right? Unexpectedly, people's hearts are so cold!
"Sister Chu is different from you and me." Ling Miao can understand Chu Xuanhua, she is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Chu in this life, her status is noble, and she has a marriage contract with the Duke of Dingguo, so she naturally has more concerns. In the past, although the old county lord liked himself very much, when it came to fame, he would not allow Chu Xuanhua to act at will. What's more, although she didn't know the reason, Ling Miao still vaguely felt the prejudice of the Duchess of Chu about herself.
In the past, she regarded Chu Xuanhua as her future sister-in-law, so even in this life, she tried her best to protect Chu Xuanhua. But at the moment, it seems that people don't need it?
It's just that it's a no-brainer.
Ling Miao thought that she was not a broad-minded bodhisattva, and since Chu Xuanhua had taken care of her, there was no need for her to stick it again.
"What difference can it make?" Cen Yuan was still a little indignant, and seeing that there were only two people in the room, Ling Miao and herself, she leaned forward and said in a low voice, "Actually, I came with her, and there is something I want to tell her." β
Her big eyes flickered, and there was a pure look of "come and ask me" in her eyes.
Ling Miao couldn't help but laugh, "What's the matter?" β
Cen Yuan raised her eyebrows, "Do you know Xu Er of the Dingguo Mansion?" β
A hint of mockery flashed in her beautiful eyes, "At the beginning, the old lady of the Duke of Chu chose to decide this family affair for Sister Chu. The two national mansions, the right door, and both have an inextricable connection with the royal family, no matter how you look at it, they are all good family affairs, right? β
Ling Miao nodded, not understanding what this girl wanted to say.
"Let me tell you, Xu Er looks like a faction of Sven, but he is actually a beast!"
Ling Miao narrowed her eyes, not knowing why.
"When my father and I returned to Beijing this time, we passed by Daliangzhou, where Dingguo Gong was stationed before, and heard a lot of things. Xu Er is the second son of Dingguo Gong, and his eldest brother was awarded the title of son, but his body is weak, he is sick and crooked all year round, and he has no flesh and blood inheritance until now. I heard that Dingguo Gong was not very satisfied with his eldest son for a long time. It's Xu Er, who is very valued by him. The Duchess of Dingguo is the same, almost obedient to Xu Er's words. β
"It's nothing, is it?"
Compared with the frail and sickly eldest son and the capable second son, which one is not his own flesh and blood? What's more, there is talent to be valued, isn't it?
"If that's really the case, why should I rush back to Beijing?" Cen Yuan sneered, "Although Xu Er is capable of doing things, he is a complete beast!" Ah Miao, everyone in Daliangzhou knows that the maid around Xu Ergongzi has never been more than three months! β
Ling Miao's eyes widened again.
People around you, no more than three months? Could it be that Xu Ersi's handsome appearance is an illusion?
"I didn't know what was going on before, because I was worried about Sister Chu, I deliberately spent a lot of money, and finally pulled out the truth from a person's mouth. It turned out that most of the maids in Xu Er's house were abused to death by him! First the maid placed by the Duchess beside him, and then it was transferred by the house, and none of them got a good death! So much so that in the end, the Guogong Mansion had no choice, and the steward could only buy some fatherless and motherless people who signed a death contract with outsiders and sent them to serve him! β
"This ......"
"Why is that?" Cen Yuan's face was stained with a touch of red, and she said in shame, "That person said that Xu Er is inhumane!" β
