Mrs. Zhou was crying, she couldn't help feeling sad and felt pain all over her body.
Marquis Changning watched her cry quietly, then sat back down, feeling a little weak.
He didn't know how Zhou became like this. Although there were some shortcomings in the past, it was still very good. Maybe it was because the children were still young at that time and there were no disputes.
But when she gets older, when it's time to get married, she will do whatever it takes for her children and for everything she values, or she will let others sacrifice themselves.
Is this why you should marry a well-matched wife?
Mrs. Zhou probably doesn’t understand that the family is one, and everyone is prosperous and everyone suffers. In her heart, except for the people she cares about most, everyone else is an outsider, just like her uncle who had already split up the family when she was in the Zhou family.
.
And her horizons were a little shallower. She only remembered that she was a mother, but she did not remember that she was the matron of a family.
Gu Zhixuan was silent for a long time, allowing himself to calm down: "Now that things have happened, it is useless to talk about these things. What to do next is the serious matter."
What else can be done?
His Majesty's decree has been issued. Is it possible that he can still resist the decree? The only option is to marry him off.
Gu Zhixuan stretched out his hand and frowned: "I mean, we know that this is His Majesty's imperial decree and cannot be violated, but some people may not take the imperial decree in their eyes."
Who this person is is self-evident.
Jiang's eyelids twitched. When he opened his eyes, he stopped turning the beads in his hand.
Gu You could really do such a thing of escaping from marriage again. After she escaped, she would be left alone, so how could she care about the family's troubles?
She just wants to be happy and contented herself, and she doesn't care about other people's lives.
Changning Marquis looked at Zhou, and then said: "If she escapes from the marriage, our Changning Marquis Mansion will resist and disobey the decree. Not to mention that Your Majesty can't bear it anymore, even the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will not be able to forgive us easily.
"
"At that time, our family will probably meet again in prison. If we make His Majesty angry, then we will meet again in the next life."
After hearing these words, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but tremble, feeling frightened in her heart.
She knew in her heart that Marquis Chang Ning was warning her not to help Gu You escape like last time.
But at this time, she didn't have the courage.
Marquis Changning stood up, and then bowed to Jiang: "Mother, my son is unfilial. I still need you to take care of the next things in the house. As for Zhou, since she wants to go to Yunzhong Temple to worship Buddha, then she can
Let her stay a little longer."
Zhou was startled and her face instantly turned pale: "Master Hou."
Jiang nodded after thinking for a long time: "That's alright, you can go live in the temple for a while and have some peace and quiet. I, the old woman, will help you clean up the mess you made."
"Since you don't understand, then just stop taking care of some things, so as not to cause trouble to the whole family." Jiang took a deep breath and felt that she could no longer let Zhou take care of the house, otherwise she might not know what would happen.
.
"I will work hard for another two years. When Ah Xuan gets married, I will leave it to Ah Xuan's wife to take care of it."
The intention of the Jiang family and Marquis Changning was to seize the Zhou family's power. The Jiang family was in charge of it now, but in the future they would directly skip her and hand it over to her daughter-in-law. The Zhou family was reluctant, but had nothing to say.
After all, she didn't know how to deal with the affairs in the house now.
She didn't want Gu You to be a concubine to King Huainan, but the imperial edict had come down, and she couldn't resist it. She was heartbroken and suffering, and didn't know what to do. If she couldn't see it, her pain would probably be less.
"Then I will pray for my mother-in-law and the Marquis in the temple." Mrs. Zhou held back her tears and kowtowed to Mr. Jiang, "It is my daughter-in-law who is useless and makes my mother-in-law tired."
Jiang closed his eyes and said nothing more.
The marriage grant was hotly debated in the Imperial City for several days. Changning Marquis Mansion closed its doors to thank guests, and Gu You never showed up. However, Shen Mingzhu was in the limelight for a time and was sought after by all the girls.
Xie Yixiao also received an invitation from the Beiting Hou Mansion.
"Spring Festival Banquet?" Xie Yixiao looked at the invitation and raised her eyebrows slightly, "She is going to have a Spring Festival Banquet, and she invited me?"
In a few days, it will be March 3rd, the time to go on a spring outing.
Every year on March 3rd, unmarried boys and girls will meet for a spring outing.
Engaged men and women can go out for a walk on this day, join hands in spring outings, and cultivate their relationship. If they are not engaged, they can also take this opportunity to have a chance encounter. If they get married in the future, it will be a good story.
In this way, March 3 becomes a good day for spring love and blind date.
At this time, some people also choose a location to hold a banquet, making it a place for spring outings, and invite all the young ladies and gentlemen to come. This is the famous spring outing banquet.
Shen Mingzhu is going to hold a Spring Festival banquet this year, and she has been invited.
Russula said: "I heard that many people were invited to the spring banquet, and the eldest girl from the Changning Marquis Mansion was also invited. It is said that the post has been handed over, and I don't know if Miss Gu will go? Many people are guessing.
Will she go or not?"
Xie Yixiao's eyelids twitched, feeling that something big was going to happen.
The imperial edict has been issued. In the future, Shen Mingzhu will be Princess Huainan and Gu You will be the concubine. In the future, Shen Mingzhu will be the mother-in-law of the Huainan Palace.
Since Shen Mingzhu invited you, if Gu You didn't go, it would be to deny Shen Mingzhu, the future princess's mistress, face. But if she went, Shen Mingzhu would naturally not miss this opportunity to deal with Gu You.
As for Gu You, he was not a good-tempered person either, so the two of them fought lightly.
Xie Yixiao closed the invitation, and then asked Mingxin to go and reply: "Tell the people at Beitinghou Mansion, thank you Miss Shen for the invitation, but I made an appointment with Mr. Jiu in those days.
I went to Yunzhong Temple to see Master Huiyuan, but I cannot accept her invitation, so please forgive me."
No matter how Gu You and Shen Mingzhu fight, it has nothing to do with her. She doesn't want to wade into this muddy water, let alone watch the show with her life. Gu You is unscrupulous and Shen Mingzhu is ruthless. Who knows what will happen?
.
Although Mingxin also loves excitement and watching plays, she also knows that she cannot watch this play, so she nods vigorously: "I will go and give Miss Shen a reply right now."
Xie Yixiao nodded and let her go.
After the person left, Xie Yixiao wrote a letter to Rong Ci, asking if he was done with his work. If possible, he would schedule the day to go to Yunzhong Temple before March 3rd, so that he could enjoy the flowers at Yunzhong Temple.
.
After the letter is written, let Qingluo deliver it.
Shen Mingzhu heard that Xie Yixiao had sent someone here, so she met Mingxin in person. After listening to what Mingxin said, the smile on her face became deeper: "Since Miss Xie has something to do with Mr. Jiu, I
I won’t bother you anymore.”
Ming Xin said: "Thank you very much, Miss Shen. I have brought my message to you, so I will leave first."
"Walk slowly, someone is coming, give this guy a send."
Shen Mingzhu looked at Ming Xin's back as she walked out the door, her eyes grew colder by the second, and she pinched the invitation with her fingers and kept exerting force until the invitation became distorted.
The corner of her mouth was slightly cold: "Xie Shisan, it's really nice that you still don't give me face like this."
