Chapter 223 Entering the Palace
"Forcibly sent away?" Gu Wanyin frowned: "Where to send it?" What if it's sent away and Dow still wants to come back? You can't send someone to guard it for the rest of your life, right?
"How can it be that easy?" The third lady sneered, her eyes flickering: "That Dow is not a fuel-efficient lamp!" Besides, I don't want to be the wicked person for the sins created by the second room. If we find out in the future, maybe we will be guilty of covering up. ”
Gu Wanyin smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, what else?" I don't know what the old lady thought, she actually came up with such a method. In fact, the wisest way is not to block it, but to say it yourself. Only in this way is it the safest. Even if the second master will be punished for a while, it is better than hiding it from him like this and then happening in the east window in the future! At that time, the old and new sins will be punished together, and it will not be forgivable.
"You don't know Dow's identity. If you know, I'm afraid you'll be even more frightened than the old lady. The third lady mysteriously came up and said in a low voice.
When Gu Wanyin heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly: "Tao's identity?" Isn't Dow just a young lady from a fallen family? "Could it be that there is something hidden in it?
The third lady continued to lower her voice and said, "Why did the Tao family lose? Isn't it because the Tao family has a daughter who became the crown princess back then? ”
Gu Wanyin was taken aback. This dynasty has not yet set up a crown prince, so naturally there is no crown princess. But the emperor once set up a crown prince. And that prince is not today's saint. In the battle for the throne that year, there was a lot of tragedy between several princes, and only one of the saints was left in the end. And naturally, the saint became the final winner and was able to ascend to the throne.
But no matter what method the saint uses today, it can't hide the fact that he seized the throne and killed his brother. Therefore, the Holy One is especially jealous of these things.
What's more, there have always been secret rumors among the people, saying that the first emperor left a secret decree to pass on the throne to the crown prince. So. The saint has always spared no effort to suppress the tàizidǎng remnants. The Tao family declined precisely because of this. Even if it's because I'm afraid of being gossiped. Although the saint did not kill them all, for so many years, anyone who had anything to do with the Tao family did not end well. This shows the greatness of the saint's suspicions.
Unexpectedly, Tao turned out to be the daughter of the Tao family. Initially. Gu Wanyin never thought that this Tao family was the Tao family.
If it weren't for the third wife's words today, I'm afraid she wouldn't have thought of it. After all, more than 20 years have passed since these things, and she has heard people talk about them occasionally. The understanding is not exhaustive.
However, it seems that the old lady is not wrong to act like this. After all, there are so many precedents ahead. It is not for nothing that the old lady chose to hide to protect herself. If it is only bāoyǎng in the outer room, it is a big deal that the second master is dismissed, and there is still the queen mother's plea, and the horizontal and vertical will not shake the foundation of the Zhou family.
But what if you add Dow's identity? The emperor's paranoia. If it was so easy to eliminate, it would not have been so careful that the Zhou family had been careful for so many years.
"Does the second master know about this?" Gu Wanyin said in a deep voice, her brows gradually furrowed. No wonder when he talked about this matter, Zhou Ruijing pondered for a moment; And he didn't object to the old lady's intentions, and now he wants to come. Is it precisely because of these concerns? It is naturally best to be able to send away the broken relationship.
But what if you can't?
The third lady sneered on her face: "What if you know?" What if you don't know? Since the second master has already dared to bāoyǎng the outer room, will he still care about Tao's identity? ”
The third lady's words were extremely true. Even if the second master didn't know at first. But it's been a few years, so I should know. Gu Wanyin lowered her head, looked at the cyan pattern on the teacup of the paper tire kiln, suppressed the emotions in her heart, and asked the third lady lightly: "What does the third aunt mean?" ”
"What else can I do? If we really can't send it away, we won't have any other way, and then we'll see what the old lady means. The third lady sneered, "Since it is a disaster in the second room, there is naturally no reason for us to carry it." It's really not good, let's just let the old lady be the master and divide the family! ”
Gu Wanyin was stunned, raised her head and looked at the third wife. The third wife did this just to separate the family? Didn't the third wife say that she didn't want to split up? But now—
The third lady met Gu Wanyin's puzzled gaze, and suddenly smiled: "So far, how much can you take care of in order to save your life?" Besides, you and I have a good relationship between the two rooms, and when the time comes, we will either divide a piece of land from the garden to rebuild the house, or buy one directly nearby. It's no different from not separating the family. ”
Gu Wanyin raised her eyebrows slightly, and a smile gradually appeared on her face: "The third aunt is very right. "The third wife clearly has a plan. If she hadn't planned it in advance, how could the third lady say such a thing.
But—the third lady was too naïve to think about it. If the saint really knows about this matter, what the saint wants to send is not the second room of the Zhou family, but the room of the Zhou family. After all, the power of the Zhou family is in the hands of Changfang. When the time comes, the family will really be separated, and even if the second room will suffer, the big house will not be able to run. The third master is not an official of the DPRK and China, he only runs a family business, and he can't say that he can escape the catastrophe.
The third wife is really calculating.
However, Gu Wanyin would not distinguish it from the third wife, and immediately smiled slightly and stopped mentioning this matter. Everyone has selfish intentions, and no one can be an exception to this. The third wife's deliberate plan for the third room is also reasonable. If the third wife knew that the fourth prince already knew about this matter, and even threatened Zhou Ruijing and her several times, I wonder if the third wife would immediately ask the old lady to split up?
It's just that I don't know if the four princes know the identity of the Tao family?
Seeing that Gu Wanyin kept silent about the matter, the third wife didn't mention it again. However, the third wife didn't think that Gu Wanyin would be able to express her position immediately, and now she is just trying to clarify the matter. As for the curve - it will take some time for Gu Wanyin to figure it out, right?
As soon as dinner was over, the third lady had just left, and the old lady sent someone over to call Gu Wanyin over.
"Old lady, do you have something to do with me?" As soon as she entered the door, Gu Wanyin saw the old lady sitting on a chair waiting for her, and she was a little solemn at the moment. The old lady has nothing to do on weekdays, but she never happens like this, she is always comfortable and how to come.
The old lady smiled slightly: "Sit down first." ”
Gu Wanyin sat under my old lady, but she didn't speak, quietly waiting for the old lady to speak.
"Daughter-in-law Jing, Ming'er, you follow me into the palace to ask the Queen Mother for peace." The old lady said with a smile, as if she had said such a sentence casually.
Gu Wanyin was stunned for a moment, and looked at the old lady in some surprise: "Enter the palace?" Old lady, your body—" The old lady's body is not yet in good shape. Why did you suddenly remember to enter the palace?
"It doesn't matter what my body is." The old lady waved her hand, revealing a hint of solemnity: "Since Jing'er has sent a letter back from home, there must be an urgent report to the palace." Let's go into the palace to explore the wind. ”
It turned out that the old lady hit this idea. Gu Wanyin was stunned, but she was still a little hesitant: "The prince is important, but the old lady, you also have to take care of your body." What if I entered the palace alone? "If the old lady can't stand it because of this, then she and Zhou Ruijing will become sinners of the Zhou family.
The old lady smiled slightly, but her eyes were sharp: "There are some words, if I don't go in person, how can the Queen Mother reveal them?" Do you really think that the Queen Mother will always help our Zhou family? ”
Gu Wanyin lowered her head when she was seen, and her lupine-like eyelashes covered her clear and bright eyes. "Naturally not." Now that the old lady is still there, the Queen Mother naturally still cares about her feelings. And once the old lady travels westward with a crane, then this sentiment will naturally be gone. Therefore, before that, the Zhou family had better be able to change the current situation. Let the Holy One dispel suspicion.
"You don't have to worry, just go to the palace to ask for peace, and you take a sedan chair in and out, how can you be affected?" The old lady seemed to feel that her words were a little heavy, but she softened a little at the moment, and explained gently. "You and Jing'er are both filial children, and I am very happy to have this heart."
"Yes, old lady." Gu Wanyin nodded softly: "I'll go back and prepare to enter the palace tomorrow." ”
"The queen mother likes more atmospheric women, you are now the princess, you can remember." The old lady said again.
Gu Wanyin lowered her eyes, stared at the héhuān flower on the tip of her shoe, and responded lightly: "Yes." It's just that she feels a little uncomfortable in her heart - when the old lady said this, she clearly still felt that her background was too low and too childish.
The old lady stared at Gu Wanyin for a while, but in the end, she didn't say anything, waved her hand and said, "Then you go and prepare." ”
Gu Wanyin got up and left.
The old lady sat down for a while, and then let Ganlu help her get up and go to the inner room, but as she walked, she said to Ganlu: "She is a person who can endure." ”
Naturally, Ganlu didn't dare to answer, but she didn't hear it. However, the old lady didn't think that she would be able to answer, and said at the moment: "It's a good thing that she has such a heart at a young age." But I can't read her mind anymore. If I talk like that, if I were the second wife, my face would definitely not be good-looking, but she is good, she has no waves, and she can't find any mistakes. ”
"Ganlu, what kind of reaction would they have if I proposed to split up now?" The old lady continued.
This time, Manna couldn't hold back the consternation on her face, looked up at the old lady quickly, and then lowered her head again.
The old lady laughed out loud: "When Ruiming becomes a parent, this family should also be divided." ”
"The old lady likes to be lively, isn't it good to be like this now?" Manna was a little puzzled, and after hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but open her mouth.
The old lady shook her head: "This is the most natural thing. It seems that it has been decided and cannot be refuted by others.
Manna had no choice but to keep silent and stop talking. In my heart, I kept pondering the meaning of the old lady.
