Chapter 123 Rich conditions
Author: Moon Earth Moon Earth
Even though Gu Xi is not from the blood of the Hou Mansion, she was also raised by the Hou Mansion. With her intelligence and talent, as well as the industry in her hands, she has many ways out.
The best thing at the moment is to enter the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and strive to allow the Fourth Prince to sit on the dragon throne and reach the sky in one step!
So, regardless of what the old lady's eyes meant, Mrs. Hou took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said directly to Mrs. Xie,
"I don't agree. Although Xi'er is not my biological child, she is also raised by me. I will definitely not let her be a concubine."
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she smiled, "It is said that it is better to raise grace than to be kind. Seeing that the wife loves Gu Xi so much, it is indeed the case.
However, madam, don’t rush to refuse, listen to my conditions first.
Although we want to take Gu Xi as our concubine, we can consider whether she is the adopted daughter of the Hou’s Mansion, and she is both talented and famous.
This concubine is also a precious concubine. We will give her betrothal gifts. There are also eight-carrying sedan chairs, but she just won’t entertain guests.
Moreover, as long as Gu Xi can restrain my son and persuade him to make progress after entering the school, the relationship between our two families will be in-laws and can help each other.
In the future, when Gu Xi gave birth to a child, we will still carry her as a fair wife. How about it?"
After Mrs. Xie said that, the old lady's ugly face relieved a little, and she even began to think that this would be a good idea.
It is naturally because they can be in-laws with the Xie family. General Xie is the uncle the emperor relies on and has great power. This relationship is enough to make them moved.
If General Xie is really willing to support one or two, maybe her son Zhongyi Hou can go further and become the Minister of War.
Moreover, although being a concubine for the prince may be able to fight for a better future, once the throne fails, it will be implicated and it is also very dangerous.
It’s safer to surrender to General Xie!
After all, no matter which prince ascends the throne, General Xie is the future uncle, and his seniority is even more prestige.
"I heard that the noble young master suffered a few days ago, but now his body is really fine?" The old lady was moved, so she asked tentatively.
If it is unhealthy, how can we talk about leaving behind children? The value of Gu Xi's marriage is not very high.
"My son's body is fine!" Mrs. Xie's face turned cold and she said unhappily.
She naturally knew the rumors outside, and this also hit Mrs. Xie's sore spot. However, as her son said, maybe Gu Xi could really cure her son and let him leave behind his children.
Therefore, Gu Xi must be a concubine for his son.
"Does the conditions that Madam just mentioned have certificates?" the old lady asked again.
Mrs. Hou suddenly turned her head and looked at her mother-in-law, but she didn't expect that she would agree.
Then Xie Hongbao is not a good man at all!
After hearing Mrs. Xie's words, she just wanted to spit her. She couldn't control her son well, and she actually wanted Xi'er to help her educate her son. It was so funny!
"If Mrs. Old Man wants to be more secure, I can write a certificate." Mrs. Xie smiled and directly determined that she agreed to Gu Xi as a concubine for her son, and then said,
"My son is in poor health recently, so why not let Gu Xi enter the mansion to take care of him as soon as possible. We will come to carry the people in three days."
"Madam Xie, we haven't agreed yet!" Mrs. Hou shouted with a calm face.
Gu Rong, who was eavesdropping outside the door, heard her mother's obstruction and clenched her hands tightly and her eyes widened.
My mother still loves Gu Xi very much, no wonder when Gu Xi came back, her mother became dissatisfied with her.
No, she must make it happen to Gu Xi as a concubine.
Gu Rong gritted her teeth and turned to find her father. She felt that with her father's profit-oriented nature, she would not be willing to give up the opportunity to make a relationship with General Xie.
But when Mrs. Xie heard Mrs. Hou's objection, she was very dissatisfied.
"Madam, you love your daughter very much and can't accept that Tianjiao's daughter is a concubine for a while. I can understand.
However, Gu Xi is not from the blood of the Marquis' Mansion after all. She is of a low origin and is destined to marry you so well. Why don't you think about the Marquis' Mansion?
That is, my son fell in love with Gu Xi, so he had to do it, otherwise I would not have given up my face and talked about it myself, and even gave me such great sincerity.
If you are really so ungrateful, Gu Xi will eventually become my son's concubine, but the conditions will not be so good."
When Mrs. Hou heard the last threatening words, her face turned red with anger. She suddenly stood up from the chair and was about to say he could see her off.
"Sit down!" The old lady glared at Mrs. Hou fiercely, "I am still here, and Xi'er's marriage cannot allow you to decide."
"Mom, we just removed Xi'er from the clan. To put it bluntly, we have even eliminated her household registration and can't control her marriage at all."
Mrs. Hou said, giving her mother-in-law a faint wink.
She likes the Fourth Prince even more!
She also has a gleam on her face when she is a concubine for the Fourth Prince, but where is Xie Hongbao?
She has no shame to go out to attend a banquet, and she has to bear a bad reputation for selling women for honor!
Mrs. Xie was slightly stunned when she heard this, and looked at the old lady and the others unexpectedly, "Since you can't tolerate her so much, it's just right to be a concubine for my son."
"Who said she couldn't? Is it in vain for the marquis's family to raise her for fifteen years? I asked her to be a concubine for the Xie family, and I think she dares to say no!"
The old lady slapped the table and said majestic.
When Mrs. Hou heard this, she refused to roll her eyes. You called Gu Xi over just now, and she refused, let alone being a concubine.
Do you think you are Gu Xi’s biological grandmother!
Even if you are a kiss, Gu Xi is not something you can control. If you are not kind, she dares to be unfilial.
When Mrs. Xie heard this, she nodded secretly, feeling that this time she was stable.
"Since my mother is so sure Gu Xi will agree, just call her over and ask.
My wife was really worried. If we angered her, she would use her means to get the shops cut off the goods from our shops, and then our family would have to pay for it."
Seeing that it was useless to stop him, Mrs. Hou threw the matter to Gu Xi for handling, but just mentioned the old lady in her words that our family's financial power is in Gu Xi's hands.
The old lady understood it, but she was also very angry.
"What nonsense! Those business banks do business with her, and they are looking at the face of our Marquis' Mansion. She is not a girl who is not as good as a girl, let alone she is not the eldest daughter of our Marquis' Mansion now!
You reminded me that Gu Xi’s shop can be taken back. How could she, an adopted daughter, hold so many shops?"
"My mother is very capable, go and talk to those businesses by herself. Her wife doesn't have the ability."
Mrs. Hou lowered her head, looking like she couldn't do it herself.
When the old lady heard this, she almost carried it over with anger, and her face was gone!
Mrs. Xie is still watching.
Mrs. Xie was not surprised to hear the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, it was spread all over the place.
She naturally knew that Gu Xi was in the Zhang family, and that Zhongyi Hou Mansion was prosperous in recent years, and Gu Xi was in charge of it.
