Chapter 616 Retribution
Princess Shujia glanced around, and then said softly, "I heard from Wenqing that my brother-in-law didn't look good when he looked at her early this morning."
He looked a little pale, as if he was sick.
The two of them were able to meet each other at court. I didn't say this before, as if I was feeling unwell.
It would be okay if he was simply feeling unwell, but Shen Qiuhe was not feeling well, but he still thought about Qiao Guxin. And when he came over, Qiao Guxin didn't seem to have that much on his mind.
In addition, the He family has also been doing personnel matters recently. They have been here for so long and they haven't shown up yet?
Anyway, most things are not right.
Princess Shujia has a sensitive mind, and she can feel any abnormality.
If it were normal, she would definitely not care so much. The main reason is that Qiao Gu is currently in confinement. If she gets angry, it will really hurt her body.
Furthermore, Qiao Wenqing really cared about Qiao's heart. If he knew that his sister was being wasted by her family just after giving birth, she would definitely not be willing to do so.
Regardless of whether Shen Qiuhe was in the capital or not, they still wanted to take Qiao Guxin back to her parents' home.
Conflicts in daily life are trivial matters, but during such a special time as confinement, if you still can't figure it out, you will definitely need an explanation.
Although she was smiling reluctantly, Grandma Lu had not seen Mr. He smile like this for several years. Think about it, ever since the old prince passed away, Mr. He had never shown such an expression again.
"Why are you crying?" Mrs. He heard the commotion, looked up at Nanny Lu in confusion, and then sighed, "But there is something at home, look at your temples, they are all white."
Seeing Mrs. Gu insist on asking Mr. He, since all human hearts are made of flesh, does she have a heart?
Waiting for Shen Qiuhe to come back, he must give an explanation to the Hou Mansion.
Rosary opened her mouth several times, but hesitated to speak, and finally lowered her head to lead the person over.
After hearing what Princess Shujia said, Mrs. Gu also thought it was possible.
"Thank you madam, I just lost my eyes due to the wind and sand." Nanny Lu choked up her sobs and even managed to show a smile as she spoke.
Based on past friendships, he first found a legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace for his son, and then arranged a marriage for his granddaughter in the Duke's Palace.
Speaking of this matter, Mr. He felt unhappy, "The old Marquis is really good at getting married."
"The second young master has sent a message a long time ago. Today, the prince is going to take him out. Madam, have you forgotten?" Nanny Lu answered carefully, just like she did when they were young.
She didn't think what would happen to Shen Qiuhe. She was just afraid that Mr. He would cause trouble, which was why Shen Qiuhe was in trouble.
A few days ago, Mr. He said nice things to others, but now, when there is no one in front of Qiao Guxin, he is wasting his time on Qiao Guxin. How could Mr. Gu be willing?
Mrs. Gu originally felt that He's courtyard was gloomy, but now that it was locked, she felt even more depressed.
Mrs. Gu snorted with a cold face, "I'll sit with the old lady."
She glanced at Princess Shujia in surprise, was she sick?
"Look at my brain. You've told me this several times, but I can't even remember it." Mr. He finally laughed.
And it would definitely not be possible for him to come to the door alone.
He will always look like he is bitter and full of hatred.
I think of my youngest son, who is more handsome than the eldest son, and he is more lively.
Since Mr. He was locked up, there were not many people waiting on him.
I feel sorry for my daughter, but others don't know it. As a woman, everyone knows that if she is injured during confinement, she will not be able to take care of her in the future.
Even if you marry the direct daughter of the Prime Minister, no matter what, if you don't live up to your expectations, you will still be looked down upon.
Rosary didn't know what happened. She just looked at Gu's face and lowered her head involuntarily, "I heard, I heard that the old lady was grounded by the second master."
Then he patted the chair again and said, "I went to a banquet with the Duke a few days ago, and I saw the couple in the Hou Mansion. Look at his house, the Marquis is really a coward to act like him."
The door of the room was open, and Mr. He was sitting on a chair, still holding needle and thread in his hand, but after all, he was old, so he still squinted his eyes while working.
The two of them were also sharp-eyed. They recognized Mrs. Gu at a glance and hurriedly came forward to greet her, "Good morning, Mrs. Hou, and good wishes, Princess."
Grandma Lu was secretly wiping tears for some reason.
Something happened to the Shen family. Shen Qiuhe took care of his old mother and supported his nephew, and he did his best. Such people are mostly filial sons. To be able to force a filial son to this point, it seems that something happened is not trivial.
Looking at the time, it's getting late too.
Mrs. Gu raised her eyebrows fiercely, grounded?
It is really unusual for a son to lock up his mother.
Fortunately, Mrs. He didn't look at her, she just turned her head and threw the needle and thread in her hand aside, "But even in the past, I don't know why, but I was always unhappy in my heart."
Seeing that Mrs. Gu was not kind and seemed to be angry, the two women looked at each other, but finally opened the lock.
Princess Shujia asked Nianxiang to guard Qiao Guxin here, so that if Qiao Guxin woke up, someone would send them news so as not to worry Qiao Guxin.
Mrs. Gu was about to move forward, but suddenly stopped after hearing these words.
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and said, "If you have something to do, just tell me directly. If I can do it, I will do it. If I can't do it, there will be the Duke. What are you afraid of?"
Marrying a girl from such a family will not help him at all, and may even hinder him in the future.
Unfortunately, my father-in-law still accepts this trick.
Several people walked towards the big house and arrived outside He's courtyard. The door was now locked, and they saw two women guarding it.
Then he rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Why hasn't Qiu He come back yet? Is he coming back too late today?"
Although the heir apparent is inherited by the eldest son, their brothers have always had a good relationship, and even if the second oldest son is not the heir apparent, it will still be good in the future.
Nanny Lu covered her mouth, afraid that she would cry out.
At that moment, Mrs. Gu changed her rosary beads and chanted incense and came over, "Take me to see the old lady of the Duke's Mansion."
Gu's anger suddenly rose.
He couldn't even get a position at the top of the queue. He only got a casual position in the Ministry of Works and didn't do anything.
Originally, if Shen Qiuhe had not asked the Supreme Emperor for his decree, his daughter would never have been willing to marry into this courtyard.
Even in the summer, people will feel chilly.
The lock looked heavy, just like Mr. Gu's current mood.
Mr. He hummed, "As long as you have an idea."
Even if he wanted to pick up his daughter, he would have to scold her before picking her up.
After hearing this, Nanny Lu quickly said, "Madam, don't think too much. Mr. Hou is not good, but Mrs. Hou was born as a scholar, and she must value etiquette the most. The daughter she has taught will definitely be well-educated and filial to her elders. When the time comes, just wait and have your grandson in your arms."
Even after Grandma Lu said this, He's face was still tense. She was not the only one who could give birth to a grandson.
But the marriage has been decided, and no matter how unhappy she is, there is nothing she can do.
"Ms. Gu usually has a noble look and doesn't talk to others. I really don't have any hope for her daughter. Now I have no choice but to hope that Mrs. Qiao will not be as arrogant as her mother and marry her.
In the future, if you can listen to the words of your elders and know how to discipline them, that’s all I will teach you.”
