Chapter 5 Bad Bamboo Shoots
The original person, Xu Muxian, had a very good personality, and his parents were the richest men in Suzhou.
There are only two daughters in the family, Xu Muqian is the eldest, and she has a younger sister, Xu Nianbei, who is eight years younger!
Before my sister was born, she was the only one in the family. She was used to be selfish and willful, and she only had herself in her heart.
When she was still in the boudoir, she was a headache for her parents and family.
At that time, Xu Muqian was pretty good-looking, slim and slim, and had a wealthy father and mother, so she didn't have to worry about getting married.
Speaking of which, the reason why she was able to marry into a prestigious family like the Gu family of Jinling, which is famous for its poetry and calligraphy, was due to her two parents who loved doing good deeds and were well-known for their virtues.
In the eyes of outsiders, parents who want a daughter like this are sure to have a good daughter, so the Gu family came to Xu Muqian's house to propose marriage when she turned 16, and they married her when she turned sixteen. But who knows, there are still good things that can produce bad things.
The Gu family is a prominent family in Jinling and a wealthy family.
The person Xu Muqian married was Gu Huaijin, the third son of his second wife. He was an old man. He was only fourteen years old when he married her, and he was still at the age of studying.
The two had been married for less than two months, and Gu Huaijin couldn't wait to go to the capital to continue her schooling.
Xu Muqian was left alone to start living in the Gu family, but unexpectedly, just a few days after Gu Huaijin left, Xu Muqian found out that she was less than two months pregnant, and she was immediately enthroned.
The old lady of the Gu family was overjoyed when she saw that her belly was so promising, and she happily held a banquet to celebrate. Xu Muzhen's net worth doubled due to her pregnancy, and her personality became even more arrogant after giving birth to her son.
She always wants to seize the housekeeping rights from her elder sister-in-law, or bully the second sister-in-law who is somewhat weak. Even the nieces at home are inevitably ridiculed by her.
It is estimated that no one in the entire Gu family really likes her, but Old Mrs. Gu is the most partial to her.
So even if she has a top-notch personality, the old lady can only tolerate it when others interfere with her.
Xu Muzhen glanced across the cell, but did not see the old lady of the Gu family.
Not there? Aren't they locked up together? Xu Maqian felt a little strange.
No wonder, the old lady was not here, so no one was there to help her when she was in a coma, and some people wanted to take the opportunity to get her out.
The rest of the Gu family looked at Xu Muqian's behavior with somewhat gloomy expressions, but Lin Lu looked thoughtful.
Mrs. Yao, the eldest wife of the Gu family, thought to herself, Humph! She is so lucky that she didn't die like this. That officer and soldier was really useless. She should have been killed with one knife in the first place.
Gu Lin, who had just woken up, was even more unhappy now.
She, the third aunt, has really been a nuisance for thousands of years. She used to love to bully them, and just now she tricked her into beating her. Now her arms were so bruised and painful that she couldn't move. She was really a fat pig with strong and scary hands.
Why didn't I throw her to death last time? What a pity for such a good opportunity.
Chen, the second wife of the Gu family, always appears to be cowardly and uncontested, but in fact she has always been protective of herself.
She looked down on Xu Muzhen, who was a merchant, but she didn't dare to offend her.
My sister-in-law, Yao, was the housekeeper, so she wanted to get out of the way, and even Lin wanted to fawn over her because there was an eldest man in the big house who was a senior official and had a capable husband.
Among the entire Gu family's sisters-in-law, she has always been the only one who gets the points for being patient.
Mrs. Chen looked at her sleeping daughter in her arms, feeling full of guilt and resentment that Dafang would be involved in the party struggle and hurt them. Now she didn't know what crime she would be sentenced to.
Xu Maqian held the sleeping Gu Zhao and was thinking about where to go in the future.
Since her father-in-law was promoted to the second rank, the Gu family moved to the capital, so now they are all imprisoned in Dali Temple to await their punishment.
It would be great if the female relatives could be returned to the family!
At that time, she would make peace with the original owner's husband and take Gu Zhao back to Suzhou Mansion.
Her natal Xu family is the richest family, extremely rich!
Then she takes the child back and lives a happy life.
Anyway, her original husband didn’t like her.
Before coming to the capital, they rarely went back to Jinling. After they moved to the capital, they didn't see each other a few times. They spent all day either in the college or at Gu Huairui's house.
It's not an exaggeration to say that they are familiar strangers, that person should be able to agree on Heli.
"It's time to eat! It's time to eat!" Two jailors shouted while pushing a cart containing food, and slapped the cell door with a spoon filled with rice.
Hearing the sound, the Gu family came to the door one after another with bowls in hand to wait. Each person had a coarse grain black steamed bun and a bowl of gruel.
Originally, for a family like the Gu family, the food for the servants was usually better than this, but now that they are in prison, they will only starve if they don't eat.
Especially for a woman like Gu Lin, who has never eaten a grain of whole grain since she was a child, she is even more uncomfortable with it.
When she saw the food distributed by the jailer for the first time, she screamed in dissatisfaction. Unexpectedly, the jailer immediately withheld her food and did not give it to her for the whole day.
In the end, she was so hungry that she couldn't hold on any longer, so her mother, Yao, persuaded her to save her own rations and eat half-heartedly. After that, she felt disgusted every time she ate, but she still ate.
It's all about speaking out of integrity.
"Gululu" Gu Zhao's stomach made a hungry sound when he was awakened by the jailer's cry. He was so startled that he quickly pressed his little hand on his stomach and looked at Xu Muzhen carefully, "Mother, Zhao'er didn't mean it."
Xu Muzhen looked at his cautious look and touched his head, "Brother Zhao's belly is hungry. Oh my, mother is so hungry too." After saying that, she touched her own belly.
As soon as Gu Zhao heard that his mother was hungry, he immediately came down and said, "Mom, are you hungry? Zhao'er will go get you something to eat."
Xu Muzhen stopped him, hugged him and put him aside, "Zhao'er, sit down, mother go get it."
She looked at Gu Zhao's sallow cheeks which were so hungry that she felt slightly sad.
Gu Zhao has been watching over him since he fell into coma. The food in the prison was so scarce that even people could be seen in the rice soup. He even divided his share of the food to take care of himself.
Now that she is awake, she has to take on the responsibility of being a mother.
Everyone else had already received the food. When Xu Muzhen walked to the cell door, the jailer who delivered the food was stunned for a moment when he saw her.
He muttered, "I woke up unexpectedly. I'm pretty lucky!"
He gave her a bowl of porridge and two thick steamed buns. When Xu Muzhen turned around, he stopped her and said, "Hey! This is for you."
Xu Muchian turned around and looked at the paper package handed in by the jailer, "This is it?"
"What are you talking about? Someone outside cares about you and asked someone to give it to you. Why, you don't want it?" As he spoke, he retracted his hand impatiently.
