Chapter 155 Gu Xicheng becomes the county head

An hour after Gu Xi got up, the decree to confer Gu Xi as the county lord was delivered.

Perhaps because she believed she was blessed and could bring good health to others, Gu Xi's county title was Princess Fu'an.

In addition to the canonization and the salary due to her rank, the emperor also generously gave Gu Xi three thousand acres of farmland, a pile of jade utensils and other rewards, as well as a four-level house in the capital to serve as her county principal's residence.

This house used to belong to a minister, but it was taken back after he was convicted and cannot be lived in directly. Gu Xi can give her repair drawings and suggestions, and people from the Ministry of Industry will decorate it according to her wishes before letting her move in.

Gu Xi was a little surprised when he heard this was a generous reward.

The land closure and the house all reflected the emperor's regard for her.

With the support of the Queen Mother, she, an outsider who is not of royal blood, can also gain a foothold in front of other noble ladies.

No matter how they slander her, look down upon her, or envy her in their hearts, they will never act arrogantly in front of her.

Gu Xi is very satisfied with this, because the ears will be much cleaner.

After receiving the order and thanking her for her kindness, everyone in the Hou Mansion congratulated Gu Xi and changed their words to call her the county princess.

Although the old lady was still in a coma, it was a huge happy event after all, and everyone in the Hou Mansion was honored and happy for Gu Xi.

Naturally, Gu Xi would not treat her servants who were truly loyal to her badly, so she rewarded each of them with two months' money and two sets of clothes, which made the servants even happier, and they all looked as happy as during the Chinese New Year.

The masters of the Hou Mansion were not so happy.

After all, the old lady is still in a coma due to poisoning, and she doesn't know if she can wake up.

Also, Gu Xi is not a bloodline of the Hou family, and she is on bad terms with Zhongyi Hou and others. If she succeeds alone, they may not benefit.

After receiving the imperial edict, Gu Xi went to the palace with the eunuch to express his gratitude.

Mrs. Hou watched Gu Xi's leaving figure with more and more complex feelings, mixed with regret and longing.

If she had not been so harsh to her before, if she could have been more affectionate to her after learning that she was not her biological daughter, could she have shared some of Gu Xi's glory at the moment?

"Humph, this rebellious girl! My grandmother is in coma, and she doesn't even visit her!"

Zhongyihou also stared at Gu Xi's leaving figure, angry, but in a low voice.

Mrs. Hou glanced at him and said sarcastically, "Master, why don't you reprimand him face to face?"

Hou Zhongyi's face turned red when he was stabbed, and he angrily scolded Madam Hou.

"You want to disobey me too?! No one in this house is worried! If mother can't wake up, go back to the countryside with your unlucky daughter!"

After Wu Wen was furious, Zhong Yihou threw up his sleeves and left.

Mrs. Hou stumbled backwards with a pale face.

What does he mean?!

Is it possible that he wants to divorce his wife?!

Mrs. Hou was shocked and angry, with tears in her eyes. If Xi'er was still of the same mind as them, she wouldn't be like this!

At this moment, the concierge announced that Mrs. Lu from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion had arrived.

After hearing this, Mrs. Hou suppressed all her emotions and arranged her clothes, hairpins, etc. before going to the front hall to meet the guests.

Mrs. Lu is here to visit Gu Rong.

After Gu Rong's management during this period, Mrs. Lu's love for Gu Rong has reached a state of caring and caring, and she truly treats her as a daughter.

So, when she heard the bad news, she was particularly worried about Gu Rong, so she came to visit.

Mrs. Hou exchanged pleasantries with her and saw that she really cared about her daughter, which warmed her heart and gave her a sense of hope.

If Mrs. Lu can agree to let Rong'er and Lu Heng get married at this time, Rong'er's reputation will be restored.

After all, the government of the town has testified for Gu Rong.

Moreover, in this way, there is no need to worry about Rong'er's marriage.

It can be said that it accomplishes many things in one fell swoop.

Naturally, Mrs. Hou couldn't mention this matter directly. She just kept talking about how innocent Gu Rong was, how miserable she was now, and how her future might be ruined.

Mrs. Lu felt heartbroken when she heard this.

After seeing the haggard and lost Gu Rong at the old lady's place, Madam Lu felt even more heartbroken.

"Aunt Fang, wuwuwu, why are you here?" Gu Rong saw Mrs. Lu and cried, stepping forward to hug her.

Mrs. Lu's maiden name is Qian Fang, and Gu Rong calls her Aunt Fang, which shows their closeness.

"Good boy, you have suffered." Mrs. Lu held Gu Rong in her arms and wiped away tears in distress.

Madam Hou stood aside and watched.

For those who didn’t know, they thought Gu Rong and Mrs. Lu were mother and daughter.

"Aunt Fang, if my grandmother can't wake up, I won't be able to live either."

Gu Rong continued to cry.

"Aunt Fang sent a message to Dr. Wang from Shiwang Valley, hoping that he could treat her, but Dr. Wang refused. Alas, I had to think of another way."

Mrs. Lu patted her, feeling distressed.

Mrs. Lu didn't think much about being rejected by the miracle doctor. After all, miracle doctors have tempers.

"Uuuuuuuuuah...what should I do? My reputation has been ruined and I can't get married anymore. What's the point of living?"

Gu Rong cried and continued to hint.

Mrs. Lu is her escape route. If Mrs. Lu really loves her as her own daughter, she would probably find a way to get her to marry Lu Heng to take refuge.

Mrs. Lu did hear it, but there was nothing she could do.

"Good Rong'er, Aunt Fang knows your character and talent, and she likes you so much. Without the order from the eldest prince, Aunt Fang would definitely let Heng'er marry you."

Mrs. Lu felt distressed.

Gu Rong was stunned when she heard this, "Huh? What does this have to do with the eldest prince?"

Mrs. Hou listened with her eyes dazed.

"When Gu Xi broke off the engagement, the eldest prince gave an order not to allow us to marry into the Marquis Mansion again," Mrs. Lu said.

Gu Rong,...

It’s Gu Xi!

It must be Gu Xi, that bitch!

She wanted to break off the engagement and not let Lu Heng go, but she actually wanted to end the possibility of her and Lu Heng.

This woman Gu Xi is really vicious.

Gu Rong was furious.

She had worked so hard to please Mrs. Lu, so it was all in vain!

She was also completely desperate.

The only way out she could think of was gone.

Mrs. Hou was shocked to hear the bad news, her steps staggered, her face turned pale, and she asked reluctantly,

"Is the eldest prince so dissatisfied with our palace?"

At the same time, Mrs. Hou also wondered in her heart whether this was Gu Xi's fault, to stop their high-spirited thoughts.

"The eldest prince really doesn't like Marquis Zhongyi. The eldest prince said that Marquis Zhongyi is a wallflower and a mercenary villain. If you marry such a person, you will be stabbed in the back."

Mrs. Lu said such straightforward and merciless words, which made Mrs. Hou feel ashamed.

She knew very well what kind of virtue her master was, and Mrs. Lu and the eldest prince had no problem with it.

When Gu Rong heard this, she even wanted to clap her hands in agreement!

A second ago, she thought it must be Gu Xi, but after hearing Mrs. Lu's words, she instantly changed the object of her hatred.

It was Zhongyihou who was holding her back!

This scumbag dad!

How hateful!

He is incompetent and furious, he only knows how to blame others, he is selfish... His sins are too numerous to list.
