Chapter 115: Duke Rong's Visit
The autumn wind comes in like a gust of wind.
"My lord, I heard that you have no appetite, so I came down to help you eat."
His eyes quickly glanced at the table. The bowls, plates, and dishes were all clean.
The small wontons in the bowl, the small meat buns on the plate, and even the sugar on the plate were gone.
Qiu Feng was stunned: "My lord, don't you have no appetite?"
Shen Munan bent down and picked up the candy wrapper: "Autumn wind."
"exist."
"Have you found the dog you were looking for?"
"Your Majesty, I have found many famous dogs and sent them to the rare animal park. You see, the dog hair on my body is still there," Qiu Feng showed, "However, the one you asked me to find has not been found yet. .”
"It's not that my subordinate is not dedicated, she said, that is no ordinary dog, it is a divine dog, and it also has a majestic name, Xiaotian."
Shen Munan pinched the tip of the candy wrapper and said, "Who said that?"
"She, that woman."
Shen Munan took a deep breath.
"My lord, I don't believe all her words. That kind of dog, a divine dog?" Qiu Feng raised one leg and covered his chest with one hand, "Such a divine dog? Haha."
Shen Munan: "..."
He lowered his head and closed his eyes, sighing and saying: "Qiu Feng, the manager of the Zoo is sick. You can go and take care of him for a while."
Qiu Feng was surprised: "Ah? This subordinate has just seen him. He is not sick."
"I said he can get sick," Shen Munan raised his head, "Go ahead."
Qiufeng pursed her lips and went out confused.
As he lowered his head and walked forward, he bumped into the old housekeeper.
"Qiu Feng, what's wrong? You're downcast."
"Uncle Lu," Qiu Feng grabbed his arm, "The prince said, let me go to the rare animal garden to take care of things."
"Why? Did the steward do something wrong?"
"No, the prince said he was sick, but I just saw him and he was not sick. I also told the prince, and the prince said he could be sick."
The butler's eyes narrowed and he calmly withdrew his arm: "Qiu Feng, what did you tell the prince?"
When Qiu Feng told what happened just now, the housekeeper's throat rolled: "Qiu Feng, hurry up and go to the zoo and do your best."
"If you don't go, Uncle Lu, maybe I won't be sick and may die."
Qiu Feng touched his big head, but before he could understand, the housekeeper disappeared in a flash.
…
Gu Yunyao walked back from the market. Now that she had money, she bought a lot of things, including fun things to eat and use. She gave them to the Yang family and prepared a few things for Song Mingzhi.
As soon as I arrived at the door of the house, I saw a carriage parked with a tall horse and a wide carriage. It was not an ordinary house.
Look at the logo again, oh, it’s from the Duke’s Mansion.
Are you here to talk to the second room about Gu Qingxue?
She suddenly became interested in gossip, and was thinking about going into the mansion to watch the excitement, when someone in the carriage raised the curtain and said: "Ayao."
Gu Yunyao looked back and saw a bronze face appearing in the window.
He is in his forties, with his hair tied up, wearing a hat, and thick eyebrows that are almost slanting into his temples.
The eyes under the eyebrows are dark and shiny, with calm gaze, but they are as sharp and thin as a bone scraper.
Gu Yunyao had no impression of him, but looking at his appearance and bearing, and sitting in the carriage of the Duke's Mansion, he guessed who he was.
Fu Fu Shen said calmly: "I pay my respects to Duke Rong Guo."
Duke Rongguo smiled slightly and touched the short beard on his chin: "Ayao has grown up and separated from his uncle."
Gu Yunyao lowered her eyes: "Rong Guogong is heroic and has unparalleled martial arts skills. Yunyao is just a little girl. She is used to being bullied and does not dare to make mistakes."
A dark light flashed in Duke Rong's eyes: "Ayao is blaming uncle for not helping you before?"
"I don't dare. You are an outsider and your surname is not Gu. How can you help me? I still understand this."
Duke Rong looked at her again. The previously thin girl had grown much taller. Although her head was lowered, her waist was straight and she was neither humble nor arrogant.
It's indeed quite different.
In the past, I heard my wife always talk about how Gu Yunyao had changed and how ignorant she was, but since then she no longer stutters and still chokes when speaking.
He always felt that the exaggeration was exaggerated. She was just a little girl. She had grown up a few years, was bullied severely, and was named the county head. It was normal for her temper to be a little heightened.
But when I saw you today...
"Ayao, I've been in the military camp and rarely come back home. Madam, she is sometimes irritable and spoiled Chuan Lin, so..."
Gu Yunyao raised her eyes and smiled slightly: "My lord, as I said just now, your surname is not Gu, so you have no control over the Gu family. I understand very well.
By the same token, my surname is not Lu, and I am not from Duke Rongguo's mansion, so the affairs in your mansion have nothing to do with me."
"Are you here to see my second uncle's family? How about I show you the way?"
Duke Rong's eyes narrowed and his smile remained unchanged, but there was a bit of coolness in his eyes.
"Yun Yao, the position of Chuan Lin's head wife is still vacant."
"I know," Gu Yunyao was confused, "but what's the matter? Princess Qin's seat is no longer vacant."
Duke Rong's smile froze slightly: "That's right, Princess Qin's position is indeed higher than that of the Crown Prince.
However, Yunyao, your father is not here and your mother is sick, so I can't help you much.
Although the Prince of Qin's palace is good, the position of the princess is also on fire. It is not easy to sit firmly.
Although the family status of the Duke's Mansion is not as good as that of the Prince's Mansion, as long as I am here, Chuanlin will not and dare not treat you poorly.
Your position as Crown Princess is as secure as Mount Tai. As for the other concubines, if you don’t like them, I will make them disappear.
In the future, when Chuan Lin comes to the throne, you will be the mistress of the Duke's mansion, and you will be safe, prosperous, and wealthy, isn't that good?"
Gu Yunyao's face was filled with surprise, and she took an exaggerated breath: "I must be hallucinating, this is not true."
Duke Rong Guo's tone was affirmative: "There is absolutely no lie in what I say."
"Then do you dare to say it in front of the emperor or at Prince Qin's palace?"
Duke Rong: "..."
"Bah, bah, bah!" Gu Yunyao said three times in succession, "Today you are here to meet your future daughter-in-law. You are here to take a concubine for the prince. It is also a marriage granted by the emperor. This is a great event, but you cannot say anything to make them disappear. It is unlucky."
"I don't understand the meaning of Rong Guogong's words, and I don't want to understand.
All I know is that before I can sit in the position of the Crown Princess, I have already been kicked down by the Crown Prince.
If the Empress Dowager and the Emperor hadn't made the decision to ask His Highness King Qin to marry me, my face would still be hurting now.
You were in the military camp at the time and didn't see it. You have to go back to your home more often in the future, otherwise you won't be able to see many things. If you blame the military camp, the military camp will cry."
"It seems you don't need me to lead the way, so I'll leave now."
After Gu Yunyao said that, she ignored Rong Guogong's blaming face and turned around to enter the house.
Duke Rong Guo slowly lowered the curtain, squeezed it hard with his hand, and the cup on the table made a slight "click" sound.
Gu Yunyao was in a good mood. As soon as she entered the house, she met the second lady and Gu Qingxue.
There were two other people accompanying them, the nanny and the old servant. They were not dressed like ordinary servants. They were probably stewards. Gu Yunyao guessed that they came with Duke Rong Guo.
Duke Rong Guo came, but he didn't show up. He left things to his servants to take care of. It was obvious that he didn't want to give face to his second wife.
Gu Yunyao estimated that Duke Rong probably just wanted to make a last-ditch effort to persuade her to marry Lu Chuanlin by saying something nice and playing the tenderness card.
Really persistent.
However, after this time, I should give up.
Gu Qingxue followed the second lady, dressed in colorful clothes, like a peacock, and her expression was somewhat well-behaved.
But as soon as he saw Gu Yunyao, his true colors immediately emerged.
"Second sister!" she screamed, "you've come back just in time, come quickly, these two are the stewards of the Duke's wife."
Gu Yunyao said calmly: "I saw it, salute."
Gu Qingxue was startled: "What are you talking about?"
