Chapter 4: Threats

After coming out of the palace with Zhou Ruijing, Gu Wanyin couldn't wait to tell Duan Guifei what he said today as soon as she got into the carriage. Zhou Ruijing also frowned, and said slowly after a long time: "King Jin saw me in private today, and only vaguely told me one sentence, this matter is not what Duan Guifei and he meant. ”

Gu Wanyin was stunned for a moment, then frowned fiercely, clenched her veil a little nervously, and even her voice sank: "In other words, this is the meaning of the saint." "If that's the case, I'm afraid they won't be able to refuse it.

"If Yu Fei is unwilling, even if it is a protest, I will definitely protect her." Zhou Ruijing suddenly said in a cold voice.

Gu Wanyin didn't speak, just sighed lightly, and then instructed the coachman: "Go to the Hou Ye's Mansion." "When things get to this point, we have to discuss it carefully. Now that she has let go of the word, it is natural that the marriage should be decided as early as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night. Moreover, the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion must also send someone over to talk about it quickly.

All the way to the Hou Ye's mansion, Zhou Ruijing naturally did not follow into the backyard, but went to find a few cousins to talk to his uncle. Gu Wanyin went to meet the old lady - after seeing the old lady and asking for peace, she stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point: "Today, I will be in front of this concubine, and I will say that Yufei's marriage has been decided, and he is the second son of the Zhongyong Marquis's mansion." What does the old lady think? ”

At this point, the old lady didn't have anything to say, so she nodded and sighed a little heavily: "So far, there is no way." After a pause, he said: "I don't think Duan Guifei is a person who lets go easily, so it's better to quickly let someone go and settle this matter with the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion." Otherwise, what if...... But it's troublesome. ”

"That's what I thought, too." Gu Wanyin nodded, her mood was somewhat dull. If something like this happens, I'm afraid that no one will be happy in their hearts. After a pause, he added; "It's just that this matter is very important, but I don't know who to let say the item, it's not good for me to go myself."

The old lady pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then let your aunt go." It's true that your identity is not suitable, your generation is a generation shorter, and many things are hard to say. And you're pregnant. It's also not suitable for running around. After speaking, he looked at Liu's and ordered in a deep voice: "You can go over after dinner in a while, be hidden, and be sure to negotiate the matter." But also remember one thing, our daughter Jin Gui is not unable to marry such a person who hates to marry. Now it's just an emergency. "Heng and vertical must not blindly suppress the man because of this, otherwise Zhou Yufei will marry in the future; I'm afraid it's not easy to gain a foothold.

Liu nodded, his expression was a little embarrassed, but he still agreed: "Mother, just rest assured." I'm going to get this done. I will never let Yu Fei suffer the slightest grievance. ”

Gu Wanyin got up and saluted the Liu family, and said with a solemn and sincere expression: "There is Aunt Lao." Uncle and aunt are very gracious, and I will never forget it. ”

Liu Shi hurriedly waved his hand: "What are these words?" Where am I trying to figure this again? I just hope that Yufei can live a good life, and I will be at ease. ”

The matter was settled like this, and even Zhou Yufei himself had no objections. Because it was not yet complete, Zhou Yufei did not follow them back to Zhou's house.

On the way, Gu Wanyin tiredly leaned on Zhou Ruijing's arms, letting him rub the sun for her, and said with some worry: "The matter is settled, and then it's time to tell the old lady." Shi Ziye said. What will be the old lady's reaction? ”

"I'm afraid it will thunder and wrath." Zhou Ruijing said gently, but he didn't feel too worried, but joked with a smile: "I'm scared this time, why didn't I see the worry before?"

Gu Wanyin sighed, and said with a wry smile to tell the truth: "Before, I was on the verge of arrows, and I had to send it, but now that this matter has been solved, I should naturally be worried." The old lady's temper. How can people not worry? And she's not in good health, if she gets angry, wouldn't it be mine? If this is the case, then she will not be able to take off this "unfilial" hat in the future.

After saying this, she didn't blink, just looked at Zhou Ruijing, pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't speak.

Zhou Ruijing couldn't help but laugh in a low voice when he saw it. Stretched out his hand and put a little on Gu Wanyin's forehead, "That's it, that's it, this wicked person is naturally my responsibility." He thought the same way, but he just wanted to see Gu Wanyin like this, but he really looked at her with such a headache. I felt a little distressed again.

Gu Wanyin smiled brightly, and the sorrow in her eyebrows dissipated in an instant, "I know that the prince loves me the most." ”

This time, it was Zhou Ruijing's turn to laugh dumbly. looked down at Gu Wanyin, reached out and rubbed her legs for her, and asked softly, "Is it uncomfortable?" During this time, he saw that her legs were a little swollen, and he couldn't help but worry. Thinking that I have been in the palace today, I don't have a chance to rest, I'm afraid I'm really tired.

Gu Wanyin shook her head lightly, leaned on his chest, her heart warmed, and said with a smile: "I'm used to it." ”

"I'll help you soak your feet when I go back." Zhou Ruijing also whispered, leaning quietly on the cushion and enjoying the rare silence. Maybe after today, the world will be turned upside down. With the Holy Xing Character, they disobey like this, but they are afraid that they will not give up easily. At that time, all kinds of difficulties, or all kinds of persecution, are waiting for him to cheer up and deal with them.

couldn't help but think of what King Jin whispered to him today. It's just that in the end, he still denied it in his heart and just closed his eyes and didn't say a word.

However, Gu Wanyin opened her mouth again to ask about King Qin: "I saw that Princess Qin entered the palace today, did King Qin also enter the palace?" ”

Zhou Ruijing shook his head: "No, I heard that King Qin is sick." Today, many old ministers have interceded for King Qin. The saint was a little unhappy, but in the end, he forbeared. I think the Holy One means to imprison the King of Qin. The King of Qin has now been stripped of most of his power, and the henchmen in the court have almost been cleaned up. But the saint did not further punish King Qin, and still said that he should think about it behind closed doors. ”

"In the end, his own son, where is he so ruthless?" Gu Wanyin couldn't help but shake her head; Originally, the saint had weak heirs, and there were only two adult princes, and the king of Qin was still the first queen, no matter how he said it, the saint would take care of a few points.

The two went all the way back to the palace, but before they entered the door, they saw Yinlu standing at the door waiting, with a somewhat helpless face, and when they saw Gu Wanyin, they stepped forward and said: "Princess, the old lady asked you to come over, saying that she had something to ask you." ”

Gu Wanyin and Zhou Ruijing glanced at each other, knowing what the old lady was forβ€”it must be for Zhou Yuyan's marriage. Today, she said in front of Concubine Duan that Zhou Yufei had already made a marriage, and Zhou Yuyan came back before her, so she would naturally tell the old lady. And the old lady will naturally be extremely annoyed. This point, when she asked Zhou Yuyan to go back to the house first, she had already expected it.

"In that case, let's go." Gu Wanyin reached out to hold Zhou Ruijing's hand, as if looking for strength and support. However, the tone was calm and serene.

Zhou Ruijing nodded, clenched her palm hard, and the hot warmth passed through the palm, which made people feel at ease. "Don't worry, I've got you covered." No matter what the old lady's attitude is, he will stand in the way.

"Hmm." Responding lightly, Gu Wanyin raised a smile slightly. With him there, she is not afraid.

When I entered the room, I saw the old lady's gloomy face, and her gaze almost froze the air. Gu Wanyin lowered her head slightly, looking at her nose and nose, just as if she hadn't seen anything, and just as if it was none of her business. Everything, naturally, will be left to Zhou Ruijing to solve. After Zhou Ruijing greeted the old lady, Gu Wanyin stood quietly beside Zhou Ruijing, without meaning to speak.

"The old lady called us, but is there something?" Zhou Ruijing spoke loudly, not feeling uncomfortable at all, the same as usual.

The old lady glanced at Zhou Ruijing gloomily, and snorted coldly: "You know it in your own heart!" What are you and your daughter-in-law hiding from me? Looking at me, this old woman is dead, can't you? Yu Fei Dingqin? When is the thing, how do I not know a little? I also wondered if I was an outsider! ”

The old lady's words were not only harsh, but also heart-wrenching. If outsiders hear it, I'm afraid that the hat of unfilial piety will be stuck on the heads of Zhou Ruijing and Gu Wanyin, and they will never be able to take it off again.

"That's what happened." Zhou Ruijing was not annoyed, only said with a smile: "I have just settled down, and I am planning to find a good day to tell the old lady." I didn't expect you to know first, old lady. It is the second son of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, and he is already the captain of the imperial guard at a young age. I also know him, and I don't have to say anything about his character. Is the old lady still satisfied? ”

The old lady was choked for a long time, and only after a long time did she take a deep breath and scolded angrily: "Depending on who he is, I only ask you, why did you hide the marriage from me?" But I'm telling you, Yufei's marriage is not allowed without my consent! Tomorrow, I will send someone to the mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong to go up and retire! ”

"In this matter, my father and mother have already nodded and agreed." Zhou Ruijing was not in a hurry, spit out such a sentence, and even said: "These dears, my mother and father liked it before, but now it has been completely settled." "At the end of the day. The marriage of children, the order of parents, the words of matchmaking, even if the old lady has the power to ask, she is always beyond being a parent.

The old lady was so angry that her eyes were red, she stared at Zhou Ruijing fiercely, and laughed coldly: "Good, good, good." After a pause, he cried again: "That's it, since you don't want to see me like this; Old woman, why should I look at your face? Tomorrow, let's settle the family property and split the family. There is only one point, only I am willing to live with the second room! ”

This is not so much a cry as a threat. Everyone understands that if the family is really separated from the second room, Zhou Ruijing's backbone will be broken by someone.
