034 Life is bitter
He made his father so angry that he was very unfilial. Duke Gu did not care about his grievances and immediately hugged the old man and asked someone to invite the doctor to come quickly.
Although Duke Gu is often confused and has no great wisdom, he is very clever. Before everyone arrives, Duke Gu quickly knelt beside the old man and slapped himself in the face: "Dad, your son is unfilial and will make you angry. You can punish your son anyway. Don't scare your son when you save you."
When the second and third masters of the Gu family arrived after hearing the news, they saw Mr. Gu swelling all his face. Naturally, they didn't know that the eldest brother was beaten by the old man.
The doctor came soon, and Mr. Gu was extremely angry and needed to rest well and not get angry anymore.
"You all heard that no matter what happens in the future, you will follow your father and you will not let him get angry anymore. If you want your father to get angry, I will break his legs." The corners of the old lady's eyes turned red, and she scolded her three sons and daughter-in-law.
"Son (daughter-in-law) understands." Seeing the three sons with a decent look on their faces, the old lady was a little satisfied. Just as she was about to stay and serve the old lady, the servant next to the old lady came out: "The old lady woke up, the old lady asked the old lady and the three masters to go back. The old lady wanted to be quiet."
In other words, the old man thought the people in this room were too noisy.
The old lady was just scolding her son and daughter-in-law loudly, and she couldn't hold on to her bottom. She said dissatisfiedly: "The older you are, the more strange rules you have. Boss, you have hurt on your face. Go back with your wife and ask your wife to apply medicine to you. The second and third brother have been a day's life and are tired, so go back early."
The old lady is used to giving commanders, and when she gets the opportunity, she has to show her existence. The three sons are used to it. As for the daughter-in-law, no matter how dissatisfied, she dare not fight with her mother-in-law. Especially the third master and the third wife, she dare not show any impatience, because she is afraid that the old lady will cause trouble for them.
The second and third masters learned that the old man was so angry that the old man was so angry that these two people who could not inherit the title and could only work hard in the officialdom themselves, and immediately understood.
"What should the boss do? King Zhao took the handle. Qianxue's dream of a princess is probably going to be broken." People who are stubborn in the officialdom still have this little eye.
"Let's go back and tell my daughter, let her see what she will end up not following her parents' orders and climbing up the branches." The second master thrilled his forehead when he thought of his daughter who was worried and wanted to marry the King of Qin.
The second wife responded repeatedly, feeling a little uneasy.
The women in the backyard had more information at home than the men. The second wife knew about Prince Chu being drugged. She also knew that the night when Prince Qin and Prince Chu came, a maid next to her daughter went out, and her daughter had also gone out.
If someone finds it out, even if it’s okay, it will cause blood.
"I hope that child will not do stupid things." The second lady was uneasy, but she did not dare to show it. She could only pray silently in her heart. This matter was over. Don't investigate it anymore, otherwise...
Her daughter was ruined in her life.
The second wife didn't know that not to mention that the old man was afraid of being embarrassed, he would not investigate this matter with great fanfare. Even Mrs. Gu, their sister-in-law would not dare to investigate it in depth.
You should know that night, she was still the one who drugged her. If she was finally found out, wouldn’t it be even more miserable?
Therefore, everyone tacitly exposed the incident that night, pretending that nothing had happened. Anyway, the matter between the Gu family and the Zhao royal family had already been negotiated, and even if it was found out, nothing could be changed.
The termination of Qiancheng and Prince Chu's engagement was a foregone conclusion. Even Duke Gu was the father of Qiancheng, but he could not turn the tide. Similarly, it was a matter of being a concubine for Qin Yunchu. Unless the emperor issued an order, Qianxue would have to be a concubine in her life.
The Zhao Mansion was very quick and someone sent the dowry back that afternoon. Looking at the dowry all over the floor, Mrs. Gu was completely unhappy, so she turned around and hugged Gu Qianxue and cried fiercely.
"My miserable daughter, what do you do in the future? It's all caused by that little bitch... I cursed her like her mother and would not die well."
Mrs. Gu was really sad. She loved her daughter, otherwise she would not have tried her best to get the dowry for her daughter from Qiancheng.
"Mom, mom...what I will do in the future? I don't want to be an aunt. Mom, I don't want it. Help me, please help me, okay? Imperial Concubine, let's go and ask the concubine. She is my aunt. I also saved the fifth prince. The concubine will definitely help me..." Gu Qianxue cried even more sadly, and grabbed Mrs. Gu's clothes tightly, with her sunken eyes flashing with despair.
"Qianxue, the Imperial Concubine..." Mrs. Gu couldn't continue to say it, but Gu Qianxue understood in her heart that she was completely desperate.
"Mom, mom...I don't want to be a concubine, I don't want to be a concubine." As Gu Qianxue said, she threw herself into Mrs. Gu's arms: "Mom, what do I want to do, what do I want to do..."
"Qianxue, my miserable daughter, don't worry, my mother will not let that little bitch go, I will avenge you..." The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried bitterly. Whether it was Mrs. Gu or Gu Qianxue, they knew in their hearts that this matter was a foregone conclusion. Not to mention that the Imperial Concubine could not help, even if they could help the Imperial Concubine, they would not help.
Others don’t know it, but Concubine Gu and the fifth prince knew that the person who saved the fifth prince at that time was not Qianxue but Qiancheng at all.
The fifth prince and Concubine Gu did not say it because they didn't care. Since the Gu family thought that it would be better to put this credit on Qianxue, Concubine Gu naturally helped the Gu family.
If you want Concubine Gu to come forward for Gu Qianxue, it is undoubtedly a fool. Not to mention Concubine Gu will not come forward, even if Concubine Gu is willing, Prince Zhao will not give Concubine Gu face.
The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried bitterly, and scolded Gu Qiancheng together for a long time. The mother and daughter were a little relieved. And Gu Qiancheng was not having a good time at this time.
Before, she used the dowry as a price, asking Duke Gu to pay 800,000 taels of silver directly to lit the eternal light for her mother. Now the Zhao Mansion has returned the dowry, Duke Gu took away the part of the duke, and threw the rest to Gu Qiancheng, and asked Gu Qiancheng to deal with it by himself.
What Gu Guogong took away was the cash-in-box and the gold that was sold for sale. What he left for Gu Qiancheng was a bunch of antiques, fabrics, jewelry, and even furniture that were difficult to sell.
These furniture are all made according to the size of the new house in Zhao Wangfu, and the best red sandalwood is priced and even priceless. Of course, the wood for making furniture is naturally not from Gufu, but her mother's dowry.
Gu Qiancheng had a headache when facing a pile of flashy jewelry, fabrics, and even half a human-high coral ornaments.
"How can I sell these things?" The point is, you have to sell them at a good price.
"Sell? Little, Miss, what are you...what did you say? Are you going to sell your dowry?" Sun's mother was stunned and thought she had heard it wrong, but saw Gu Qiancheng nodding seriously: "If you don't sell it, why don't you keep it? I will never use these fabrics and jewelry in my life."
"Miss, you can't use up the dowry. You can leave it to the young master in the future. Miss, you must not sell it. The amount of dowry means your status in your husband's family in the future. Women who don't have dowry or have little dowry will be looked down upon by the husband's family. Master and Madam, they will definitely not prepare much dowry for you. You will only rely on in the future, so you can't sell it." Sun's mother persuaded her heartily, trying to dispel Gu Qiancheng's idea of selling dowry.
The dowry is a woman's private property and the husband's family has no right to possess it. The more a woman gets dowry, the more it means that the more important the mother's family attaches to it, the higher the status in the husband's family will be.
With Gu Qiancheng's dowry, she is enough to gain a foothold in her husband's family, but...
Gu Qiancheng looked at Sun's mother and said, "Mom Sun, are there anyone in the capital willing to marry me? If I marry far away, no matter how much dowry I have, I can't keep it."
When Gu Qiancheng said this, he was not much sad, but when Sun's mother heard it, it hurt in her heart, and tears fell out.
"Miss... My miserable lady has been hurt by them in this life. What should you do in the future?" Sun's mother knelt at Gu Qiancheng's feet and cried bitterly.
Gu Qiancheng is right. Unless it is a family that is too poor to live by a wife’s dowry, the family that is slightly more respectful will not let their son ask Gu Qiancheng to marry him.
He was disabled and was disconnected from the engagement by Prince Chu on the spot. He was so angry that his biological father was unfilial to his stepmother and made his family's misfortune. No one dared to lead such a woman into the door.
