"My aunt had no choice, so she asked her slave to beg her cousin. Now all we can beg for is her cousin." The aunt cried, "Auntie, my aunt asked my slave to come and beg my cousin, and she also asked her to buy medicine.
....."
"If we really want the fourth girl to marry as a substitute, my aunt will plan to die to find a way for the fourth girl to live."
At this point, she started crying again.
Xie Yixiao was stunned again. In her impression, Gu Ying's biological mother, Aunt Liu, was actually not a good person. Gu Ying's sour and bitter temper was learned from this aunt, and she was also fond of her.
Jumping up and down, he is also a bit selfish.
But I didn't expect that such a person would be willing to die for his daughter.
If Gu Ying's mother died, she would have to observe mourning for three years and not be allowed to marry.
If they are desperate, this method is indeed useful, but using human life to break out this way is really...
Xie Yixiao pinched his sleeves and looked at the other person crying in a panic. He took a breath and said, "Don't be anxious first, but have you asked your uncle and grandma what it means?"
"It doesn't matter if my aunt said this."
After all, Gu Ying is the biological daughter of Marquis Changning. Why did Marquis Changning allow Zhou to push her out and use her as a knife for Gu You?
The aunt said: "The Tai Madam and the Marquis naturally did not agree, but if the eldest girl never comes back, the wedding is approaching, and someone must marry her. Even the Tai Madam and the Marquis are unwilling, but things are different.
It will also fall on the fourth girl."
"Cousin, the fourth girl is pitiful, my aunt is also pitiful..."
"Cousin, please save the fourth girl and my aunt..."
Aunt Liu came from an ordinary background and was sold by her family in her early years. Fortunately, she had good looks and was a scheming person, so she climbed up and became the concubine of the Marquis of Changning.
But she really had no one to rely on. At this time, the only thing she could do was think of her cousin Xie Yixiao.
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Don't cry. Ask Aunt Liu to ask your Lord Marquis what he thinks. At least you want to get an accurate answer."
After thinking about it, she came up with a way: "If you really have to marry someone alone, you can ask Aunt Liu to suggest that your Madam Hou accept a maid as a righteous daughter and supplement a dowry to marry her."
No matter how bad the girl in the house is, she is still a noble daughter of the Hou family. Even a concubine can marry well if she chooses at will. But the maids are different. Many of the maids came from poor backgrounds and were sold by their families.
Or they become homeless and have no choice but to sell themselves to find a place to settle down.
If the family gave her a sum of money, which would allow them to live peacefully for the rest of their lives, many people would be willing to marry her, not to mention having the title of the adopted daughter of the Hou family.
This title may not mean much in the Imperial City, but in other places, having a backer, being respected by your husband's family for the rest of your life, having money and leisure, is better than being a maid.
And although this marriage was intended to throw Gu You far away, Marquis Changning did not want to trick his daughter to death. At least the other party's character should be good.
Maybe he will have no future in his life and will never come back to the Imperial City again.
The aunt was stunned: "Adopted daughter?"
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Yes, if there is really no other way, you can also use this. You can go back and talk to Aunt Liu."
The aunt was not stupid. She thought about the feasibility of the matter in her mind, and then she was overjoyed and thanked her hurriedly: "Thank you very much, cousin. I will go and tell my aunt. I will go right away."
"But if the matter can be overcome, my cousin will be my aunt's great benefactor..."
Xie Yixiao told her to stop crying and go home quickly. After the person left, she stretched out her hand to press the frown between her eyebrows, feeling that Tianling Gai was a little unable to bear it again.
Gu You really did a lot of harm to others. After harming one person, she harmed the second one, and she even wanted to let Gu Ying marry her. She really didn't treat others as human beings. She felt that the marriage was not good, so she refused to marry.
, I took my sister out to top the cylinder.
It's really... this is basic morality, ethics, integrity, and conscience.
Mr. Zhou actually followed her and did it, which was crazy.
"Mrs. Changning Marquis, are you crazy?" Madam Xie sat aside and listened a lot, and roughly pieced together the whole story. It turned out that Changning Marquis Mansion promised Gu You a marriage, but Gu You refused, and the mother and daughter
He planned to escape from the marriage and let his concubine marry him instead.
As for Gu You's marriage, Mrs. Xie has also heard about it. It is said that far away on the edge of Jingzhou, her family belongs to a farming and studying family. Their family background is really average. At most, they only have some fields.
This marriage is indeed very bad for the noble daughter of the Imperial City.
Mrs. Xie couldn't understand: "How did she become like this?"
Even if he refuses to let his daughter get married, there are many other ways to solve it. How can he let his concubine get married?
Mrs. Xie does not have a concubine, but as a mistress, she has raised such a concubine and is about to get married. This should be a good marriage arrangement for her, which will help the family in the future.
If it doesn't work out, just choose a Jinshi from a poor family. If this Jinshi has a good future in the future, that's a great thing. If the future is average, it's not a loss, right?
Xie Yixiao remained silent for a long time without saying a word.
She also wanted to know how the Zhou family became like this. She used to be quite reasonable.
Maybe it was because nothing happened before, everything was peaceful, and there were no disputes about gains and losses. If Gu You successfully married Jiang Zeyun, and Gu Zhixuan married her favorite daughter-in-law, she could always be that kind of person.
But now, she can only fight for her children.
Youdao is a 'dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist'. As long as her daughter can escape from this whirlpool, who does she care who falls in?
Mrs. Xie asked Xie Yixiao: "Are you going to take care of this matter?"
Xie Yi smiled and said: "I originally didn't want to care about their affairs, but...my fourth cousin is really innocent, and I can't just watch her get married off."
She is not a particularly kind-hearted person, but she would feel uncomfortable if she watched Gu Ying stand indifferently and get married like this.
No matter how much trouble the Marquis of Changning, Zhou, Gu Zhixuan, Gu You and others put in, Gu Ying was innocent. How could a good girl be dragged out to be used as a knife for others?
"I want to ask what happened and how the Changning Marquis Mansion handled it." Xie Yixiao lowered his eyes, "Sister-in-law, I want... to ask Ajin to make an appointment with my eldest cousin for me.
, I think it’s time to meet.”
She didn't want to go back to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion, and she didn't want to see the Marquis of Changning either.
In this case, we can only meet Gu Zhixuan quietly, ask about the situation, and then make plans to see if we can catch him.
