Chapter 159: I am a royal family
Gu Changting sneered and said: "If you are heartbroken, you will not forget to go to your mother to cry and complain. Don't worry."
"What's wrong with me? If something happens, you'll have to bear it on your own. I won't accompany you."
"Hey! Do you and I, husband and wife, want to be so clear about our differences? We should work together and stay together through thick and thin."
Gu Changting took Xin Nian's hand and said, "I'm holding on from the front, and you have to support me from behind."
"Okay." Xin Nian nodded solemnly: "I am a weak female with a humble status. I cannot help the prince share the pressure from the front, but as long as you can withstand it, I can hold on no matter what, and live up to the prince's trust.
"
"That's good."
Gu Changting nodded, and the couple held hands and cuddled tightly. After a while, they suddenly heard Qian's voice in the courtyard: "Are the prince and Aunt Xin here? The concubine asked them to pass."
Gu Changting patted Xin Nian on the back, strode out, and said in a deep voice: "I know what happened to my mother. I can just go there by myself. I can't implicate the Xin family. She was also forced by me to put herself on the shelf..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard Xin Nian whisper from behind: "If you are not afraid that I will add fuel to the fire, I will go with you. After all, it is true that you entrusted me with it, but I also took on this job myself.
"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Qian on the other side had already lowered his head and said, "When I say back to the prince, the concubine said that she would like you and Aunt Xin to go there together."
Gu Changting glanced at Xin Nian and asked softly: "Are you sure you want to come with me?"
"Let's go." Xin Nian glanced at him: "With you supporting me, what should I be afraid of?"
"good."
The two of them straightened their clothes briefly and went to the concubine's yard.
Xin Nian was a little two steps behind and looked at Gu Changting carefully. He saw that he was tall and straight, walking calmly and without any nervousness. Thinking of his previous words about Shuo Shu, he felt confident: My husband is obviously very confident.
The only blame is that Concubine Liao and Liao Jiaru were too greedy and lavished too much money on their parents' family. Otherwise, even Gu Changting would not have been able to seize power from the tiger's mouth so easily.
Arriving at Concubine Liao's room, the two of them saluted, and Xin Nian quietly stepped aside to avoid being affected by the flames of war.
Mr. Liao was sitting opposite Mrs. Liao. When she saw them coming, she turned her face and ignored them, wiping her own tears.
Concubine Liao had no expression on her face and stared at her son with a heavy gaze. She occasionally glanced at Xin Nian and was thinking about how to speak when she heard Gu Changting say loudly: "I will hand over the warehouse to Xin Nian from today on..."
"Why? What is her identity? How can you give your family's warehouse to a concubine? You bastard, do you really want to spoil your concubine and destroy your wife?"
Concubine Liao slapped the table. She saw Gu Changting sneer and said: "The storehouse is given to the concubine, not to destroy the wife, but because the concubine is reliable. Mother really doesn't understand why I entrusted the storehouse to Nian Nian? Or is it you?
I wonder how many things Jiaru has moved to her grandfather's house over the years? Do you really want me to talk to her face to face and tell her clearly?"
"you……"
That's how it was. She could only be passively beaten. Concubine Liao stared at her son, gasping for air, and said bitterly: "I asked Jiaru to bring something to the Liao family. What's wrong? That's your grandfather.
Family, what’s wrong with me helping a bunch of people when their turnover is not working well?”
"Mother is right, that is my maternal grandfather's house. Then do you want to ask Jiaru? How many things did she send back? Mother, don't use concubines to kill your wives to conquer my army. For your sake,
My son has been merciful. Otherwise, no one would say it was my fault if I divorced her back to her parents’ home just because of what my cousin did.”
Xin Nian lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes. Hearing this, he wished he could applaud Gu Changting: Good fellow, Mrs. Liao used her status and filial piety to suppress him, so he brought out the Three Obediences, Four Virtues, and Common Etiquette to resist. Embezzling things from her parents' house is a rule of thumb.
, not to mention how many times the Liao family has moved back home over the years. For Gu Changting, who never cares about money, to call him a big rat, the number is absolutely breathtaking.
"How dare you." Concubine Liao was furious, pounding the table and shouting repeatedly: "Do you really want to kill me?"
"Does the son want the mother's life? Or does the mother want the son's life?"
Gu Changting's eyes widened and he hissed: "My mother only saw the hardships in my grandfather's family. Have you ever seen how difficult it is for your son to deal with all the forces in the court? People have always criticized forming cliques for personal gain. You and
My cousin, I was afraid that the Duan Palace and the Liao family were not tied tightly enough, so I rushed to the Liao family to dump their belongings. I didn't go to the warehouse yesterday. I never dreamed that you were so brave. Why didn't you give away all the warehouse?
What about my grandfather's house? No wonder those adults regard me as a member of the Liao family and criticize me at every turn. Mother, do you know that by doing this, you have violated a big taboo and that you are putting me on the fire?
"
Concubine Liao was shocked by her son's words, and her momentum suddenly dropped by half. After a long while, she said: "I...how could I harm you? You were born in ten months of pregnancy. You are my only hope, I...
… Even if I die, I won’t harm you. I just think that the queen and I are sisters, you and the prince are cousins, and we and the Liao family will both prosper and suffer... "
"That's enough."
Gu Changting stared at Concubine Liao and said in a deep voice: "Did mother forget? I am a bloodline of the Daxia royal family. The prince and I are not only cousins, but also cousins. What? Do I, the emperor's nephew, have the status of a prince?
, are you actually going to suffer both prosperity and loss with a foreign relative? If my grandfather’s family really has such power, with all due respect, then they just don’t know how to live or die.”
Because it was a family dispute, apart from Qian, there was no one else inside or outside the courtyard at this time. Even so, Gu Changting also lowered his voice, and only a few people in the room could hear his words clearly.
Concubine Liao's body was shaken so much that even Mrs. Liao didn't know when to turn her face, her body was trembling, and she stammered: "Cousin...how can cousin say such things? You...you are too ruthless.
"
Gu Changting said expressionlessly: "It's okay if I say this. If the emperor says it someday, cousin, will you argue with the emperor like this?"
Mrs. Liao fell silent. Gu Changting glanced at Concubine Liao and his wife coldly, and said solemnly: "This matter has been decided. You should also think carefully about the annual income and output of such a powerful family.
Do you still need your help? Where have they spent so much money in these years? Do you know that the Liao family's children are tyrannical outside and no one dares to speak out? If you don't curb your greed and discipline the children in the family, you will
Don't blame me for not caring about family ties, I can't just watch the royal family's reputation be completely destroyed by them."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly he heard Mr. Liao choke and say, "My cousin, stay here. I have a question for you."
