Chapter 27: Ambition
"Are these things you should be thinking about as a woman?"
Faced with her youngest daughter's lack of oil and salt, Mrs. Gu only felt that hatred was not made of steel: "You don't understand your own family affairs, and you still think about the prosperity of the family?" Your father's and I best hope that the two of you will be safe and prosperous! ”
Gu Ruan Ruan still wanted to argue, but Gu Baiyu saw that Mrs. Gu was about to reach out to cover her chest again, and hurriedly spoke: "Mother, don't worry, let me persuade my sister." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Gu Ruan Ruan and motioned for her to follow him to change carriages.
Gu Ruan Ruan followed Gu Baiyu out of the carriage and went to another car.
The carriage had already set off for the Prime Minister's Mansion, swaying along the way.
Gu Baiyu specially instructed Lingyu to disperse all the people around her, and the person who drove the car also changed to a secret guard who was protecting in the dark.
Everyone left, Gu Baiyu looked at Gu Ruan Ruan who was unconvinced, and slowly spoke.
"No profit can't afford to be early, you are not that stupid person, the second prince can't just give you a dowry just because of something related to you, you know, this is unreasonable."
Gu Ruan Ruan was silent.
She didn't know.
But since this period of time, the gap between her and Gu Baiyu has gradually widened, like a chasm, how can she, a person who has always been proud, be willing to admit defeat easily?
She didn't want to admit her defeat, and she didn't want to watch herself lose to an ancient woman!
"So what? It doesn't matter who says anything about this world, since the second prince has a plan, I don't mind having a dragon in the future. ”
As soon as the words fell, both of them were stunned.
Gu Baiyu was surprised.
She was surprised that Gu Ruan Ruan, a woman, who grew up peacefully in the back house and had no worries about food and clothing, would have such an idea, which was too shocking.
And Gu Ruan Ruan was excited.
When she said that, she suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment.
Yes, she knew how much knowledge she had in her chest, and it was a treasure that left this group of ancient people far behind.
That knowledge is only used to please the queen house woman and her husband, which is simply a tyrannical thing!
She was born different, how could she only focus on this one-third of an acre of land in the back house?
Gu Ruan Ruan even complained a little in her heart, it must be because the back house of the Prime Minister's Mansion was too comfortable, which made her lose her lofty ambitions.
Once you have such an ambition in your heart, everything that has gone before has changed.
Her eyes can no longer just focus on the things in the back house.
"Sister, I just said, I'm talking nonsense!"
Gu Ruan Ruan made a flustered look: "Really! I just talked nonsense, this kind of thing, to be heard talking about the future throne, is to be beheaded? ”
She acted too realistically, and Gu Baiyu couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while.
However, Gu Ruan Ruan is right, this kind of thing should not be talked about by the women of the back house.
"You yourself know that you won't say that again. If it is heard by others, it will be as big as the Zhulian family, and as small as the father being impeached by the official...... Also, what do you think about the second prince's affairs today? ”
Gu Ruan Ruan's eyes dodged: "I, of course I hope to get married, sister, I know it's wrong, don't let me be too ugly on the wedding day, okay?" ”
Gu Baiyu felt a headache, if he really did too much, it would be really dangerous to force Gu Ruan Ruan Ruan to the side of the second prince.
Gu Baiyu pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with my mother, don't worry." But the second prince ......"
Gu Ruan Ruan hurriedly said: "I will definitely not deal with him again!" ”
But if the second prince insisted on giving the dowry, she couldn't help it.
After all, she is still just a weak woman in the back house.
What the prince insisted on sending, how could she have the right to refuse?
She lowered her eyes and let Gu Baiyu's gaze wander over her.
At the end, Gu Baiyu spoke: "You have a good rest in the carriage, and I'll go see my mother." ”
After saying that, he got out of the carriage.
Lingyu had been waiting by her side, and when she saw Gu Baiyu coming down, she hurriedly went to help: "Miss, shall we go to Madame's carriage?" ”
Gu Baiyu shook his head: "No, the carriage for the scriptures is not empty, let's go to that carriage." ”
Gu Baiyu rode a carriage alone, and when everything was gone, she glanced thoughtfully in the direction of Gu Ruan's carriage through the curtain.
The ambition in Gu Ruanruan's eyes just now, she was not mistaken.
Now in addition to beware of the second prince, you also have to beware of this sister from another world.
No matter how well Gu Ruan Ruan pretended just now, she couldn't hide the trembling in her tone when she said the phrase "from the dragon".
That's not fear at all, it's ambition.
Gu Baiyu lowered her eyes, perhaps, she should tell Prime Minister Gu Cheng about this.
In fact, there is no need for Gu Baiyu to say more, on the day he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Gu knew about it.
Naturally, he was furious.
Prime Minister Gu didn't even want to do a marriage for Gu Ruanruan, and bluntly said that it was just a concubine with someone, just take a piece of red cloth and wrap it around his body, and send a small sedan chair to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
But if only it were that simple.
"Daddy, no. If this is the case, wouldn't it confirm the rumors in the mouth of the second prince that my sister was wronged in the house, and your reputation is not good. ”
Prime Minister Gu sighed.
Gu Ruan Ruan was not here at this time, and he also told the truth to Gu Baiyu.
"The second prince's move is weird, Ruan Ruan is a woman, powerless and powerless, can she let the prince be so obsessed with helping her? I'm afraid it's not to win over the Prime Minister's Mansion, but there are other schemes! ”
"So Dad, we can't go too far. At least until they get married, they can't let her be separated from their family. ”
"What do you want?" Prime Minister Gu asked.
"Daddy, don't worry, leave it to me."
Gu Baiyu didn't intend to compromise.
She knows Gu Ruan Ruan too well, Gu Ruan Ruan's character, as long as she retreats, she will be aggressive and even coercive.
In her previous life, she endured it once, and what she waited for was endless inches.
"The dowry can be given, but if the wind is not beautiful, then it will be said."
Gu Baiyu will not be soft on Gu Ruanruan.
Because she touched her bottom line-
Before that was her most important innocent chastity as a woman;
Now it is her family and parents who value her most.
If Gu Ruan Ruan continues like this, sooner or later it will affect the family, his parents are already old, and Gu Baiyu can't bear any mistakes from his parents.
After coming out of Prime Minister Gu Cheng's study, Gu Baiyu called Lingyu.
"Go and get out the list of the storerooms."
After giving the order, he went to knock on Gu Ruanruan's door again.
"Don't you want a dowry, let's go, go to the treasury, I'll order it for you."
