Chapter Twenty-Seven: Abolishing Adopted Daughters?
"If nothing else, then let's all disperse!"
After Yue Zhiqian glanced at Yue Wan'an, she turned around and walked back to the palace, a group of little maids looked at the eldest princess, and before they could receive a response from the eldest princess, they were pushed away by the Gu brothers.
"Sister Wan'an, let's go!"
Gu Minlei pulled Yue Wan'an away, Gu Minqi strode to follow, Liu Chuchu just wanted to take a step, but was stopped by Gu Minyu raising his hand: "Sister Chuchu, you better stay in the house and have a good rest, I have been peeping at the young lady last night, I shouldn't have slept yet, right?" ”
After saying that, he ignored her, trotted up, and followed the three people in front.
Liu Chuchu flicked his sleeves angrily: "Hmph! What's the big deal, I really don't know what's so good about that adopted daughter, why does everyone defend her? ”
Then, he stamped his feet and walked back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, "When I marry into the palace, she will cry!" ”
Yue Wan'an was taken by the three Gu brothers to visit most of the prosperous main city before returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When they entered the house, it was already dark, and the four of them walked through the front yard giggling, and were just about to say goodbye to each other and return to their respective residences, when they saw the old butler running over.
"Hey~ A few young masters, young masters, you are back!"
"White butler? What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? ”
"It's Mrs. Liu who said to let you go to her after you come back."
"Grandmother? Why? ”
"Hey~ This old slave doesn't know, but you'd better hurry up!"
"Oh, okay." Gu Minlei stupidly raised his feet and walked towards the courtyard, Gu Minyu and Yue Wanan also hurriedly followed, only Gu Minqi kept a heart and grabbed the white housekeeper.
"Butler Bai, go tell my father and mother, just say that after we return home, we will be called by our grandmother to go to another courtyard, which doesn't look like a good thing."
"Okay, the old slave understands, the old slave will go!"
On the other side, the four of them came to the courtyard where Mrs. Liu temporarily lived, Gu Minlei swaggered on the wooden chair, picked up the grapes and put them in his mouth, and handed an orange to Gu Minyu next to him, Yue Wan'an and Gu Minqi were a little uneasy, looking out of the door from time to time.
After a while, the old lady was helped into the outer hall by Liu Chuchu, and when she saw Gu Minyu and Gu Minlei who were eating happily, her face sank a little more.
"Ahem!" The old lady coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the four.
"Grandmother, you can count it, the white housekeeper said that you are looking for us, what is the matter? It's so late......"
"You know it's late!" Old Madam Liu suddenly scolded: "All big and small, there are no rules!" How did your father and mother teach you? ”
Gu Minlei suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem, hurriedly straightened his waist, and sat in a proper manner.
"Grandmother, father and mother are generous, and they have always been kind to their children, and they have not set a curfew for us, and it is not too late for Min Qi to say that grandmother is exaggerating."
"Hehe, you actually contradicted me like this? Even if there is no access control, then you are contradicting me, are you doing the right thing? ”
"Min Qi doesn't dare." After speaking, Gu Minqi bowed his head.
Gu Minyu couldn't help but pout, grandmother was definitely deliberately finding fault!
"What? Minwoo, do you think there's something wrong with what I'm saying? ”
"Minyu doesn't dare, after all, Minyu is not Sister Chuchu, how can he dare to contradict his grandmother, and he doesn't need to accept any punishment?"
Hmph, I will be weird too!
"You! When you mention Chu Chu, I am even more angry! Let's talk about today, why don't you go out to play? ”
"That's because Sister Chu Chu is busy observing others in the middle of the night, I'm afraid that she won't rest well, and she will go to the school tomorrow to practice, so naturally I want Sister Chu Chu to rest more in the house!"
"Is that Chu Chu observing others? It is clear that someone does not abide by the woman's duty, and climbs over the wall to the man's house in the middle of the night, and is accidentally seen by us! ”
The woman who "didn't keep her duty" snorted and muttered: "I didn't keep my duty......"
"Dare to quibble? Let me ask you, is it you who climbed over the wall to go to the palace in the middle of the night? ”
"Yes."
"You can do this kind of cheap deed at a young age, how can you let Gu Son-in-law and Shiyun raise their heads in front of outsiders in the future!"
Yue Wan'an lowered her head, she didn't want to be a godfather and godmother because of herself.
Seeing this, Liu Chuchu hooked his lips and smiled proudly: "Grandmother, not only my sister-in-law and uncle can't raise their heads, but I feel ashamed when I go to the academy tomorrow, hey~ Really, I don't want to go to the academy anymore!" ”
"That's not going to work, Chu Chu you have to go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Liu turned her head to look at Yue Wan'an: "That's it, you won't go out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the future, although I didn't stop you from accepting you as an adopted daughter at that time, but it's not too late to make amends, for the sake of you saving Minyu, I will let Shiyun leave you in the mansion for another month, and when the time comes, where did you come from, give me where I go back!" ”
"No way!" The three Gu brothers spoke in unison.
"Wan'an is our younger sister, since her father and mother recognized her as a goddaughter, she will always be our godsister!"
"Hey? I can't control you anymore? ”
"I agree with Brother Minqi's words, grandmother, you can't decide this matter!"
"You stinky boy, I'm your grandmother, and your own mothers crawled out of my belly, what else can't I decide?"
Gu Minlei, who has always been honest, suddenly sank his face: "Grandmother, the mansion you are standing in is surnamed Gu, and the affairs of the ancient mansion should be decided by the people of the ancient mansion. ”
"Okay, you Gu Minlei! Haven't I decided to stay with an adopted daughter? ”
Things are getting more and more anxious, Gu Minqi was afraid that Gu Minlei would say something inappropriate, and the old lady grabbed the handle and made a fuss, so he hurriedly pulled him.
"Grandmother, the abolition of the adopted daughter is not trivial, let's wait until tomorrow after I inform my father and mother, and then talk about it!"
Yue Wan'an's hands were stirred together, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Don't wait for tomorrow, I'll tell my mother-in-law tonight!" A strong tenor voice sounded in the doorway.
Everyone looked up sharply and saw that it was the prime minister and his wife who came hand in hand.
Old Madam Liu and Liu Chuchu secretly screamed badly, but the matter had come to this point, Old Madam Liu could only stalk her neck and raise her voice, trying to use her momentum to suppress people: "Gu son-in-law, Shiying, you came just in time, for the sake of the reputation of the ancient mansion, Yue Wan'an can't stay!" ”
Prime Minister Gu had a serious face: "I'm afraid my mother-in-law has forgotten, in the past 20 years, when has our ancient mansion ever cared about reputation?" ”
After saying this, everyone was stunned, although it sounded weird, but it seemed to be like this.
"Son-in-law Gu, what are you talking about, even if you didn't care before, but in the future, for the sake of Minchen and their brothers, this reputation will not be bad!"
"Haha, as a person from my Prime Minister's Mansion, I should have the consciousness of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how did I Gu Haotian get to where I am today, and my future children and grandchildren must remember, after all, this person can't forget his roots!"
"How can this be the same? You are thinking about the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, but Yue Wan'an is just to be cheap! ”
"Mother, you're going too far!" Liu Shiyun couldn't help but speak.
"Shiyun, you don't know what good things your good adopted daughter has done, do you? Chu Chu, tell me about your sister-in-law! ”
"Yes, grandmother."
Liu Chuchu told the events of last night again, and the old lady looked proud after hearing it.
The prime minister and his wife walked in front of Yue Wan'an tacitly.
"Wan'an, do you like the prince?"
"Wan'an, don't be afraid, tell the truth to your godfather and godmother."
Yue Wan nodded slowly: "I...... I want to marry into the royal family. ”
"Listen, listen, she said it herself!" Old Madam Liu pointed at Yue Wan'an with her index finger.
Yue Wan'an blinked, a little aggrieved, but she felt sorry for her godfather and godmother, and as soon as she lowered her head, she was held by Liu Shiyun.
"Wan'an, my good Wan'an, prince, did you hear that? We have a sweetheart in Wan'an! ”
"Hahaha, I heard it, our Wan'an is not only kind-hearted, but even this vision is also very good!"
Everyone rubbed their ears, what kind of god-level reversal is this?
"Godfather, godmother, I shouldn't have climbed over the wall in the middle of the night to ......"
"Wan'an, you did it too right, my godmother told you, now the king with a different surname is a piece of sweetness, and a bunch of women are rushing to marry into the palace, if you want to succeed, then you must come up with some means!"
"Huh?"
"Godmother thinks that your trick is good to go over the wall, and you have a fight with your godfather back then."
Prime Minister Gu's face turned red and scratched his head: "Haha, sure enough, it is from our Prime Minister's Mansion, and we have to chase people like this!" ”
"Gu son-in-law, Shiyun, what are you talking about!" Old Madam Liu was suddenly dumbfounded.
"Mother, this is a good thing, Wan'an has an intention, and, through the observation of the past few days, the prince is also a serious person who can be entrusted for life, marry Wan'an into the palace, I can rest assured!"
"Are you at ease? So how can I rest assured? Have you forgotten that we Chu Chu likes that prince? ”
"I remember, but, just in our city, I don't know how many women like the prince, this is the situation of more wolves and less meat, no matter who it is, you have to try your best to lean up, and whoever gets the heart of the prince in the end will be the final winner!"
"But...... But ......"
This operation made the old lady faint directly, what did she want to say?
"Hahaha, it's not too early, Wan'an, and the three of you, hurry up and go back and rest!"
Prime Minister Gu patted Yue Wan'an, and Yue Wan'an's eyes were slightly red gratefully: "Godfather, godmother, I can really ......"
"Of course you can, our Wan'an, you can do whatever you want, let alone marry into the palace, that is, if you want to marry into the East Palace, and marry into the palace in the future, your godfather and godmother will support you!"
Yue Wan'an pursed her lips, trying her best not to let her tears flow.
"Okay, Wan'an, go back and rest, you can't lie in bed tomorrow morning!"
"Uh-huh."
Just when Old Madam Liu's eyelids were lowered, the three Gu brothers pulled Yue Wan'an and swaggered out of the courtyard.
"Shiyun, let's go back and rest!"
"Yes, sir. Mother still has Chu Chu, so we will go back first. ”
It wasn't until the courtyard returned to calm that Liu Chuchu was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Grandmother~ Look at them, one by one, they seem to have fallen into evil!" ”
"Chu Chu, don't worry, she is an adopted daughter who came from nowhere, even if she is not kicked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, can the prince next door still take a fancy to her? The prince is not blind! ”
The "not blind" Yue Zhiqian turned around the courtyard five times, but she still didn't see Yue Wan'an's figure, her brows furrowed slightly, why didn't she come tonight? Is something wrong? Could it be that the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion are embarrassing her?
The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and with a light tap of my toes, I flew up to the roof, stepped on the tiles, and walked all the way to Yue Wan'an's room, and after estimating the position of the bed, I carefully uncovered the two red tiles.
After seeing the sleeping side face of the little guy, the heart that he was carrying finally relaxed, and a doting smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
The next day, the six Gu brothers and Yue Wan'an had already sat in the carriage, but the carriage did not leave for a long time, just because Liu Chuchu had not yet left the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"Chu Chu, hurry up, be careful that you will be late."
"Grandmother, don't worry, I know it in my heart, isn't there such a sentence? The most important people are often the last to appear! ”
