Chapter 32;
Being smart
This good-for-nothing dandy from the Xinyang uncle's family is named Huang Yi.
He is a very different kind of bastard.
Why do you say he is different?
Because the noble concubines of other families are very cautious at home, trying their best to please their legitimate siblings and mistress, hoping to get a somewhat tolerable future.
But he just didn't do that.
He is famous in the capital for his no-nonsense attitude. In his words, now that his father is still here and he is not married yet, he has to enjoy it to the fullest.
If his father dies, he will definitely be separated from the uncle's house by his direct descendants. According to Dongzhou's rules, a concubine can only get 10% of the family property.
Therefore, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to cause more trouble now, lest it would be easier for him to radiate a direct lineage later.
Of course, the price for doing this is that he often gets beaten.
The more he gets beaten, the more trouble he gets, but he is also quite smart and never exceeds the bottom line.
This made Uncle Xinyang angry and helpless.
He was not afraid of embarrassment, the commotion was quite big, and the words of scolding the mistress quickly spread throughout the uncle's house.
It only took Dumei half a day for Mrs. Xinyang Bo's reputation to be as good as that of Gao's evil stepmother.
This is so embarrassing.
After Mrs. Xinyang Bo learned the rumors from her servants, she became so angry that she fell ill.
The thing that she couldn't stand the most was Uncle Xinyang. Originally, she wanted to cry to Uncle Xinyang and take this opportunity to kick Huang Yi out without hesitation.
As a result, before she started to cry, Uncle Xinyang, who returned home after hearing the rumors, scolded her.
"Idiot, who asked you to make your own decisions?"
Uncle Xinyang also had a moderately large official in the court. With Xu Wenwu's death in the Dali Temple prison, the situation in the court became very delicate.
Something happened one after another later, and the tacit understanding and balance between the Gao family and the Queen's lineage was no longer there.
The war was coming, and he, a low-ranking neutral official, did not want to get involved.
I don't dare to get involved, after all, both sides are untouchable.
But now, his stupid wife actually wants to marry the Xu family. In the eyes of outsiders, he has joined the Gao family.
What will we face?
"I am also following your instructions, Master."
"Didn't you always ask him to find a wife for Huang Yi?"
"With his reputation, which girl in the capital would be willing to marry him?"
"It's not easy to have one now, me."
"Shut up, get up now, go to Xu's house and cancel this marriage, otherwise you will go back to your hometown."
Uncle Xinyang roared and interrupted his wife.
She was so obedient to his orders because he hoped to quickly find a woman to take charge of Huang Yi's bastard son.
But you have to keep your eyes open to find this, right?
In the current situation, marrying the Xu family would be equivalent to throwing the entire Xinyang residence into a whirlpool.
You said it's better to marry someone from the Gao family. At least you can have a closer relationship with the Gao family and more or less a little more security.
But who is the eldest lady of the Xu family?
That was the eldest daughter of the original wife whom the Gao family wanted to kill.
If you bring such a person back, not only will you not be able to get close to the Gao family, but you will also be misunderstood by the Queen's lineage.
With his small body, he would be able to withstand it if the situation really breaks out.
Seeing her husband's anger, Mrs. Xinyang Bo was obedient and wanted to say something, but she didn't dare.
He had no choice but to drag his shaky body up and leave the house.
At the same time, in the main courtyard of the Xu family, Mrs. Gao had also heard the rumors outside and was extremely angry.
"Check, let me find out thoroughly. It was that dog slave who spread the news."
As soon as Aunt Tian left here, a maid came to report her from outside.
Mrs. Xinyang Bo is here again.
Gao could only suppress his anger, even though his reputation was ruined a lot.
But at least the little bitch has been sorted out.
Thinking of marrying her to a trash like Huang Yi and living a miserable life in the future, the bad reputation is worth it.
After a while, Mrs. Xinyang Bo came in.
She greeted him with a smile before she could speak.
"Mrs. Xu, the eldest daughter of your family will return her wedding invitation to you, and the marriage will be cancelled."
Mrs. Xinyang Bo directly threw Geng Tie down and turned around to leave without even waiting for Mr. Gao, who was mentally exhausted, to speak.
Looking at the red Geng Tie lying on the ground, Gao's face turned dark.
The news that Mrs. Xinyang Bo came to visit again and left Gengtie behind soon reached Lu Yaoyao's ears.
"Miss, what's going on?"
Qiu Yu looked stunned.
"You took action? No, I've been by your side all day."
She suddenly paused and turned to look at Qiu Shuang. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Yaoyao's voice sounded.
"It's not me, and it's not her."
"Who is that?"
Seeing her confused look, Lu Yaoyao smiled helplessly.
"You, you, I usually ask you to use your brain more, but you still can't figure out simple things?"
Qiu Yu smiled.
She most likes to do things she is good at, using her brain and so on, which is really a bit difficult for her.
"Mr. Gao only wanted to find me a scumbag, but he ignored a lot of things."
"This can be considered as trapping oneself in a cocoon."
Qiu Yu's eyes widened, now she understood clearly that it was Gao himself who started this rumor.
No, to be precise, it should be Gao's own people.
"Miss, what did Mr. Gao overlook?"
"Do you know who the Gao family has in the capital?"
Qiu Yu nodded quickly.
She has always been responsible for sorting out the situation reported from the outside. Although she doesn't like to use her brain, she is not brainless.
As a martial arts practitioner, her memory is relatively strong.
"Is there any Uncle Xinyang in the Gao family?"
"No."
"Isn't that okay?"
What's the problem? Qiu Yu was still confused.
Seeing her like this, Qiu Shuang couldn't bear it anymore.
"Now the Gao family and the Queen's line are out of balance, and a fight will begin."
"Uncle Xinyang has been cautious these years and belongs to the neutral camp."
"Mr. Gao only saw the misery of the concubine of Uncle Xinyang's family, so he went to find him for the sake of the young lady."
"Ignore Uncle Xinyang's thoughts. Will he be willing to take sides when a fight is about to break out?"
This time Qiu Yu understood.
The facts are also before our eyes. Hasn’t Mrs. Xinyang Bo already come to return the Geng Tie?
"No wonder the lady wasn't in a hurry yesterday. It turned out that she had thought of this a long time ago?"
"But why are you so sure that Uncle Xinyang will not agree?"
Lu Yaoyao smiled and shook his head, and Qiu Shuang's voice immediately sounded next to him.
"Because the lady's surname is Lu, she is the eldest daughter of the original wife, and she is also opposed to the Gao family."
"Oh I see."
Seeing that she finally understood, Qiu Shuang didn't wait any longer and walked out of Lu Yaoyao's small building.
At the same time, the person who leaked the information at the hospital was also found.
Facing the furious Gao, one can imagine the outcome.
Xu Zhao returned home from the Yamen and walked into the main courtyard with a gloomy face. Facing Mr. Gao, this was the first time that he didn't look good.
It was really irritating. During this time, he went to the Ministry of Rites and was laughed at by countless people, both overtly and covertly.
Gao's face was completely disgraced if he did something like this at this stall.
