Chapter 233 Flat Wife
The old lady meant that she was unwilling to enter the palace.
Gu Wanyin's eyes froze, her fingers shrunk into fists and clenched tightly, and then she said slowly: "Wanyin doesn't dare." But Wanyin can go on her own. "She has been ordered to go to the palace to greet the Queen Mother. It's just that without the friendship between the old lady and the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will deal with this matter like this, but it is not certain. When the time comes. It might be self-defeating.
"You're threatening me? But what if I don't allow it? The old lady continued to sneer, "I don't believe it, I can't control the people in this family!" Obviously, Gu Wanyin's tough attitude has already angered the old lady.
Gu Wanyin suddenly looked at the old lady, but she smiled slightly, and said softly: "Is the old lady going to abandon the prince?" Although the voice is soft, it falls on the ears, but it makes people feel questioned.
The old lady was stunned, her brows furrowed slightly, but she refused to admit it: "When did I say such a thing?" ”
"Then invite the old lady into the palace to meet the queen mother." Gu Wanyin kowtowed slightly, her voice was not loud, but it gave people a sense of toughness.
The old lady only felt that her brows jumped, and the anger in her heart came out, and she sneered again and again: "Okay, good, Jing'er really married a good daughter-in-law!" That's what happened to me! Are you going to turn the other way around? In the past, you made your own decisions and deceived your superiors and subordinates, but I thought that you didn't make a mistake in the end, but I pretended not to spare you once. But I don't know that I'm used to your temper! What a majestic princess!"
The old lady's words were a little heart-wrenching.
Gu Wanyin felt uncomfortable in her heart, and her fingers tightened. However, the expression on his face has not changed in the slightest. No matter what the old lady said or did, she couldn't break her mind. Zhou Ruijing is her husband. It's the one she wants to hand in hand with the whitehead, and she's not willing to take risks.
"Old lady, you're serious." Gu Wanyin said softly and looked up at the old lady: "Wanyin is just selfishly hoping that the prince is safe." When the prince returns safely, I will not complain about how you want to punish me, old lady. Even, I can hand over the feed. "Zhou Ruijing is more important than everything. Other things, if they are gone, they are gone, and you can think of them again. But Zhou Ruijing couldn't.
The old lady didn't speak again, just so quietly, looking at Gu Wanyin with burning eyes.
For a while, the atmosphere in the room was mysterious and unpredictable.
Because the old lady did not speak. Gu Wanyin didn't get up, just knelt quietly, motionless, her eyes were clear and resolute, and she never wavered.
The two of them for a while; It was a stalemate.
After a long time, the old lady suddenly snorted softly and raised her eyebrows slightly. Shen Jing opened his mouth and asked, "As long as I enter the palace, you will agree to anything?" ”
Gu Wanyin was a little surprised—she didn't expect the old lady to give in. However, since the old lady said so, then what is the request. And only afraid. This requirement is not a general requirement. However, Gu Wanyin didn't care at all, and simply nodded at the moment: "Yes." Old lady. As long as you promise to go to the palace to ask the Queen Mother, I will agree to anything. ”
"Okay, I'm going to marry another flat wife for Jing'er, what do you think?" The old lady smiled. There was a little bit of essence in his eyes.
Gu Wanyin looked up at the old lady in astonishment, but the old lady looked serious. Obviously, the old lady wasn't joking. After a moment of silence, she looked at the old lady and shook her head gently: "I can't promise you this matter." Old lady. "The marriage she wants, that's not it. She doesn't want to work with people.
The smile on the corner of the old lady's lips turned cold, and her eyes became more and more cold. "Didn't you say yes to everything?" In words. It actually has a hint of sarcasm.
Gu Wanyin lowered her head under the old lady's burning gaze, and only after a while did she reply softly: "I really can't make decisions for the prince of this matter." I can only promise the old lady, if the prince is willing, I will never stop the slightest. Whether it is a wife or a concubine, as long as the prince nods, I will happily welcome them into the door. I will never be embarrassed by them. ”
"Really?" The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, thought about it carefully, and felt that this was no difference, and her heart was a little loose at the moment. It's just that I'm afraid that Gu Wanyin is perfunctory for a while, and I don't believe it in the end. After all, marrying a flat wife is not a concubine. Once the flat wife entered the door, Gu Wanyin's position as the main wife was also divided. Although the status of the two is equal to that of each other, they will face more problems in the future - first of all, the son-in-law. The children of the two are considered to be concubines, and there will be disputes over the inheritance of the title, not to mention that there are many troubles.
Gu Wanyin raised her head and looked at the old lady calmly, her eyes were clear and there were no waves, obviously she was not lying: "Really." I'll do what I say. ”
"Alright, let's settle it." The old lady smiled, and her tone softened again: "Tomorrow morning, you can accompany me into the palace." ”
"Yes, old lady." Gu Wanyin breathed a sigh of relief, and then stood up. It's just that after kneeling for too long, my knees hurt a lot, and my legs have become numb. But none of this matters, since the old lady has agreed, then she should go back and prepare for entering the palace.
The old lady looked at Gu Wanyin gently, and said softly: "It's not too early, you go back and rest." All of a sudden, Fang Cai's indifference and severity were swept away, and the judgment was like two people.
Since the old lady had such an attitude, Gu Wanyin naturally wouldn't put on a face, and responded lightly and gently: "Yes, I'll go back." Old lady, you should rest early. After saying this, Gu Wanyin slowly retreated. There was no unhappiness in the look of action, and it was no different from usual.
And just after Gu Wanyin stepped out of the room, the old lady sighed. whispered: "Jing'er is your husband, but am I not his grandmother?" If you don't say it, I'll think of something to help him. It's just that in the end, she still thinks that Gu Wanyin's background is not high, and she is somewhat unworthy of Zhou Ruijing. Therefore, I took this opportunity to let Gu Wanyin breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the old lady doesn't want to tear her face for this matter in the future and make the two families ugly. And Gu Wanyin relieved her mouth and agreed, and the Gu family naturally had nothing to say.
In fact, to be honest, the old lady has been a little shaken these days when she coldly watches Gu Wanyin deal with things; But this incident made the old lady finally make up her mind. After all, if the Gu family's family background is better and their identity is more noble, this time, it will not be that the Gu family will not be able to help at all.
"What is the old lady doing with a good sigh?" As soon as Ganlu entered the house, she saw the old lady sighing with a heavy expression, so she asked softly and persuaded her: "Sigh hurts your body, why doesn't the old lady take care of herself?" ”
The old lady accepted the look on her face, turned to a faint smile, and said with a look at Ganluyan: "When Jing'er comes back, you will prepare and go over to serve." "Ping's wife is not in a hurry first, but Ganlu is not too young, and it is not a bad thing to send it first. At least when Gu Wanyin was busy with housekeeping, he could take care of Zhou Ruijing, right?
When Ganlu heard this, she was still a little ignorant, but after a moment of reaction, she immediately came back to her senses, and immediately showed a look of surprise and joy, and looked at the old lady in disbelief: "Old lady——"
"Well, you heard it right." The old lady smiled slightly, and whispered: "If you go over to serve Jing'er, I can rest assured." ”
Ganlu squirmed for a moment, but still held back her shame and promised softly: "Don't worry, the old lady, Ganlu will definitely take good care of the prince and will never let the old lady down." ”
"That's good. I'm tired, freshen up and go to sleep. Ming'er will enter the palace early in the morning. You're ready to prepare. The old lady was not in the mood to say much about these things at this time, so she only nodded and got up and walked to the inner room.
Ganlu was stunned, although she wondered in her heart, she remembered her identity, and she didn't ask much about entering the palace at the moment, and concentrated on serving the old lady to freshen up and go to bed, and then went back to her room.
Thinking of what the old lady said, Ganlu's face was suddenly dyed with a hint of redness, and she was looking forward to it and being happy and sweet. For a while, I remembered the master-servant relationship between the two of them when Zhou Ruijing was a child, and for a while I fantasized about how Zhou Ruijing would treat her in the future, and whether Gu Wanyin would be embarrassed by her. I couldn't sleep after tossing and turning for a while.
And the one who also couldn't sleep was Gu Wanyin.
She is not wood, so she can naturally hear and see the old lady's dissatisfaction with her family background. It is also clearer that if the old lady didn't think that the Gu family couldn't help Zhou Ruijing this time, she wouldn't suddenly mention the matter of marrying a flat wife. After all, although there are not a few people who marry equal wives, most of them are due to the frail and sick previous wives, or no heirs, so they marry ordinary wives. And what about her? It has only been a few months since he married Zhou Ruijing.
The heir naturally cannot be a reason, and she is also extremely healthy, and she is dignified and virtuous when she asks herself, and there is nothing wrong with it. Then the only problem is this world.
Thinking of this, Gu Wanyin couldn't help but sigh. I only felt a dull pain in my chest, and the whole person was uncomfortable.
It's not that she doesn't understand that the old lady is just using the topic to play, even if she really refuses, the old lady will not really die without help. But she just couldn't control herself. Seeing the resoluteness on the old lady's face, she left everything behind and forgot everything. She didn't dare to gamble, and she couldn't afford to gamble.
However, it was only today that she suddenly felt that she was so useless. It seems that apart from the help of the Gu family, there is nothing she can do in this matter. This feeling made her feel very dazed and ...... Disappointed. Disappointed in herself.
If so, she did not marry Zhou Ruijing. If Zhou Ruijing married another family's daughter, maybe today, it would be a different scene?
At the very least, it can help him clear out some dangers and protect him from being framed by his rivals. It is said that it is not possible to worship the king, but it is just around the corner.
