Chapter 488 She Doesn't Want Her Big Brother Anymore?
Gu Zhifeng really couldn't understand.
In his opinion, since it was Gu You who had the problem, but now that Gu You is gone and has nothing to do with the Changning Marquis Mansion, it should be settled down, so why is there a commotion inside again.
Zhou did make mistakes at the beginning, but with her father and eldest brother here, even if she planned, things would not come to pass. The things have already passed, so why should she be so resentful anymore.
Moreover, Gu Ying always thinks about her own future. She has driven the Zhou family crazy. Marquis Changning and Gu Zhixuan still don't know how to treat her?
Gu Zhifeng sighed: "After this incident, it will be difficult for the fourth sister to gain a foothold in this family. Her father and eldest brother may not allow her to stay any longer."
Xie Yixiao remembered what Jiang had said earlier that he planned to find a match for her and marry her off.
It would be better if she got married earlier, and Jiang would help arrange the arrangements, and she might have a good marriage. If she kept her, and Zhou continued to behave like this, Marquis Changning and Gu Zhixuan would inevitably resent her, and her life would probably be difficult.
And she can probably only rely on the Marquis's daughter to rely on her influence outside. If she is in trouble, Gu Zhixuan may help her for the sake of brother and sister, but if he wants to get any benefits, it will definitely be
No.
Summing up the results, no one is left behind.
When he arrived at the door, Gu Zhifeng did not go in: "I'll wait here. Cousin, go talk to Fourth Sister."
"Thank you so much, third cousin." Xie Yixiao thanked him with a slight salute, and then entered the ancestral hall.
Gu Ying knelt in front of the memorial tablet in the ancestral hall, her head lowered, and she was quiet.
The Changning Marquis Mansion has only been rich for three generations, and many ancestors cannot remember it clearly. The highest honor in the ancestral hall is the first marquis of the Changning Marquis Mansion, who is Gu Zhixuan's great-grandfather and a military general.
It is said that the old Chang Ning Hou had an opportunity when he was young. He became a disciple of a martial arts knight and learned martial arts, especially swordsmanship. In his early years before joining the army, he worked as a butcher and a pig butcher.
Later, when his hometown fell, he heard about the reputation of the Li family, so he traveled thousands of miles to join the Li family and became a soldier of the Li family, thus becoming the Marquis of Changning.
Although the original Marquis of Changning was not the Duke of the country, he was still one of the top ones among the twelve Marquises, and he held military power in his hands.
It was just that his son was useless and none of his grandsons could go to the battlefield, so he had to hand over his military power. Later, the current Marquis of Changning became the number one scholar in the imperial examination and embarked on the road of civil servants.
Xie Yixiao thought of the big waves.
I don’t know how many of the twelve princes of the Four Kingdoms who were enthroned by the founding of the Dongming Dynasty will be left in a few decades. Now His Majesty is still here. He remembers the feelings of fighting together in the past. As long as it is not a serious crime of rebellion or murder,
, he can tolerate them all.
Even so, there are also a few that are not developing very well, such as Lu Guogong's Mansion and Beitinghou's Mansion.
The Changning Marquis Mansion has Chang Ning Marquis as the Minister, and Gu Zhixuan is the Tanhua Lang. Even if it cannot be better in the future, it will not be in decline, but the Changning Marquis Mansion is unstable.
Instability in the inner house is a big deal to courtiers, as it proves that you cannot do things with peace of mind.
The ancestral hall was very quiet. Gu Ying heard the voices of Xie Yixiao and Gu Zhifeng early on. When she heard footsteps approaching, she couldn't help but turn her head.
"cousin."
"Cousin, I really didn't know things would be like this."
Gu Ying now lost all her previous arrogance, and instead felt a little at a loss: "I just wanted her to know what it's like to lose a daughter, and let her know the pain, but who knew...who knew she would go crazy?"
.”
"I really didn't expect things to turn out like this... Cousin, you have to believe me."
When Gu Ying told Mrs. Zhou about Gu You, she really did not want Ms. Zhou to feel better. If Ms. Zhou was just sad, she would probably have been given a few words of reprimand and the matter would have passed. But who knows what happened to Ms. Zhou?
Then you will go crazy.
Xie Yixiao stretched out his hand and twisted his eyebrows, feeling as if his head was as big as a bucket: "What's the use of talking about this now?"
Gu Ying put her hands in her sleeves, feeling a little uneasy: "Cousin, you must help me, otherwise I..."
"Ah Ying." Xie Yixiao suddenly called her, and Gu Ying was stunned. In the past, Xie Yixiao always called her 'cousin' and 'fourth cousin', but he had never called her 'Ah Ying'.
Xie Yi smiled and said: "I can't help you with these things. I have said before that if you are in danger, as long as you are not the one who harmed others, and you are my cousin, I should help you regardless of emotion and reason.
Just like last time."
"But this time it's a grudge between you. If I help you, where will that leave my eldest cousin?"
Gu Ying became even more panicked when she heard this. She didn't know where to put her hands: "Then, cousin, what should I do? Father and eldest brother, they, they..."
"cousin......"
"You really did something wrong this time. Although my eldest aunt was at fault, but my eldest cousin and eldest uncle were protecting you before, it will definitely not happen. You just did it for your eldest cousin's sake."
It shouldn’t be..."
Gu Zhixuan does favor his mother, who is his biological mother after all, but as an elder brother, he doesn't care about Gu Ying. If his elders make mistakes, he also helps to fight for them.
But with Gu Ying's move, it would be fine if Mrs. Zhou was fine, but if Mrs. Zhou went crazy, what would Gu Zhixuan think?
She doesn't want her big brother anymore?
Gu Ying lowered her head and cried softly: "I, I didn't know it would be like this..."
She cried for a while and then asked: "What should we do now?"
Xie Yixiao shook his head: "I don't know. I didn't plan to come see you today. I feel that you are really not very smart and do things regardless of the consequences. There is no absolute fairness in the world."
"In aristocratic families like ours, there are differences between direct descendants and concubines, and they are divided into high and low status as soon as they are born."
For example, she was born in the Xie family. Because she is the legitimate daughter, the Xie family does not have much direct blood. Therefore, even if her parents died young, there are elders who care and love her. The family does not dare to touch anything that should belong to her.
.
She could choose two first-class maids and four second-class maids to serve her, and live the life of a wealthy lady with a lot of servants. The people she looked at were all noble sons of the same status, but Xie Yu, who was from the side branch, could only marry him.
Help her and marry the person she chooses.
The same is true for the Changning Marquis Mansion.
Gu Ying was a concubine, and she had to endure some hardships as long as it was not a big deal.
What happened last time was indeed that the Zhou family should not have used her marriage to fill Gu You's trap. She was really wronged, but it didn't happen after all. Instead of thinking of ways to get revenge on the Zhou family, she might as well rely on the help of her elders.
If you owe me a debt, seek a good marriage and a generous dowry for yourself. This is the long-term solution.
She actually foolishly caused such a big thing and ruined a good situation.
