When Mrs. Ruan heard what Gu Yunniang said, her expression immediately changed and she said sharply,
"Mother Yun, what nonsense are you talking about? Even if your sister gets married, she is still the daughter of the Gu family, with the surname Gu."
Gu Yunniang was stared at, she regretted her mistake and did not dare to answer.
Gu Zhiyuan's face was also livid, and now his body was filled with anger.
He seems to be from the eldest prince's lineage, but last time Pei Jinting took advantage of him and offended Lu Wenze and many officials.
These days, his life is much more difficult than before.
But after all, since the eldest brother is here, no one really does anything to him.
Once something happens on the border, the Gu family building will collapse. There is no question whether his official position can be kept. Who will tolerate those enemies who want to attack him?
He won't be eaten by then?
These women are still making noises.
Gu Zhiyuan raised his voice and slammed the table.
"Why are you arguing? At this time, if the family is not united, they are still arguing here."
He glared at Ruan.
It’s this mother-in-law who can’t teach her daughters well.
Fortunately, he still has a daughter, Qingyuan. Although she has been adopted, she is still his flesh and blood.
If something happens to the Gu family, maybe they can rely on the Pei family and the prince's family.
Anyway, in the eyes of the eldest prince and his family, he is now colluding with the prince's supporters.
When he got angry, Ruan and Gu Yunniang lowered their heads instantly.
Gu Qingyuan said nothing, but looked straight ahead.
"Although the third son of the Pei family is not the eldest son of Duke Cheng'en, he is favored by His Majesty and is appointed as the admiral of the Five Cities Military and Horse Department."
"The future is bound to be limitless. It is a high achievement for you to enter the Cheng'en Palace. From now on, you can stay with Mr. Pei with peace of mind..."
Gu Zhiyuan spoke with sincerity and sincerity,
"Although this marriage is not very glorious at first, it is also a way out for you..."
Gu Qingyuan understood what he meant.
This clearly means believing in the worst outcome on the other side of the border.
And he must use Gu Qingyuan to find a way out for him.
Gu Qingyuan smiled and interrupted Gu Zhiyuan's words.
"Thank you uncle."
"However, the family has reached this point now? Do we need to sell the girls in the family to help?"
"If Third Young Master Pei doesn't help, will my uncle let me go home and send me to the next useful family?"
She stood up from her chair and said with a smile,
"It's my uncle's family who have no way out right now, not me."
There is still a way out for her.
Even if Pei Jinting doesn't help her, she still has a way out.
Before Gu Qingyuan finished speaking, Gu Zhiyuan's face turned pale with anger.
He has always thought highly of himself because of his elder brother's role as Duke Zhenguo, even though he has been having a hard time these days because he offended the eldest prince's family.
I have never heard anyone be so sarcastic.
"You...what did you say? You are really feeding an unfamiliar wolf. Don't forget, whose daughter your surname is Gu."
Gu Qingyuan really felt sad for Duke Zhen.
The people in this house enjoy the merits earned with the blood of the town and country on weekdays.
Once there is danger, throw it away after use and burn bridges across rivers.
Before coming, she had thought that they were still a family. Gu Zhiyuan was on duty at the yamen and could always find ways to find out some information.
Unexpectedly, their thoughts were not on this at all, they only wanted to find a way out for themselves.
"Uncle, even if you have no conscience, you should still leave the last trace of dignity to the ancestors of the Gu family in the ancestral hall."
After Gu Qingyuan finished speaking, she turned around and walked out decisively, regardless of Gu Zhiyuan's livid expression.
No matter what method she uses, she must find out what happened in Northern Xinjiang.
This ended the father-daughter relationship between her and Zhen Guogong.
Even if she can do very little.
As a woman, she cannot be like those son-in-laws who rush to the frontier with passionate worship.
I can't leave the sky in all directions to see the stars, the sea, and the vast grassland.
She is not obsessed with the rights and wrongs of the pond, but she has to be restrained.
Before Gu Qingyuan came out of the Zhenguo Palace, she went to the courtyard where she used to live.
In less than two months, fallen leaves piled up outside the yard, and dust piled up inside the house.
It can be seen that Mrs. Ruan never asked anyone to take care of her yard.
Lifting the bed board, Gu Qingyuan took out a small box from underneath.
Inside was a piece of fabric cut from the corner of a garment.
Different from ordinary clothing materials, this is a piece of red and yellow cloth with the same color as the dragon robe.
The fabric was stained with blood and had gold embroidery.
This piece of cloth was stuffed into Qin's hand before she passed away.
At that time, she didn't understand what Mr. Qin meant by being pardoned. Later, as she grew older, she realized that it was torn off a corner of the dragon robe and was a promise made by His Majesty to the Zhenguo Palace.
She believed Pei Jinting would help her, but she couldn't put all her hopes on him.
She doesn't want any promises, she just wants His Majesty to send people to find the Duke of Zhenguo. He wants to see him alive and his body after death.
Gu Qingyuan got her things, walked around the corridor under the eaves, and almost reached the door.
Her eyes undoubtedly glanced at one place, where Mrs. Ruan was pulling Gu Yunniang towards the courtyard. When she saw her, Gu Yunniang sneered at her.
Mrs. Ruan didn't listen to anything she said.
Gu Yunniang grabbed the maid next to her and whispered a few words into her ear.
Then he took out the thing hidden in his sleeve and put it in the maid's hand.
His eyes were quite sinister and he motioned her to do it quickly.
Although Gu Yunniang was secretive, Gu Qingyuan still saw clearly that what she put in the maid's hand was a letter sent to an unknown location.
Gu Qingyuan smiled.
Even with His Majesty's golden words, Lu Wenze still hasn't come to greet the bride. No wonder Gu Yunniang is anxious.
I don’t know if Gu Yunniang can still marry into the Hou family after the news about Duke Zhen spreads.
After leaving the Zhenguo Palace, Gu Qingyuan stood at the foot of the steps, turned around and looked at the plaque in front of the door.
After several generations, the plaque is still shining brightly, with the words "Zhenguo Gongfu" dancing on it.
At this time, a scattered voice sounded in my ears,
"Gu Yuanyuan..."
Gu Qingyuan turned around and saw Pei Jinting walking towards her.
She looked at Pei Jinting unexpectedly and asked,
"How did you come?"
Pei Jinting's expression was gentle and warm. He smiled at Gu Qingyuan and said,
"Can't you tell? Of course I'm here to take my wife back home."
The lady's call was affectionate and affectionate. After speaking, he raised his eyebrows and asked,
"What else do you think you're going to do?"
Gu Qingyuan was stunned by the question and murmured subconsciously,
"I just thought you were in the palace..."
"Pei Jinting, is there any news from the palace?"
Pei Jinting knew what she was asking. His eyes were dark and he said to Gu Qingyuan, who was looking at him with a fragile expression,
"We have sent people to look for it. I promise you, we will find it."
At the very least, you want to see people alive, and you want to see corpses when dead.
If it were a corpse, it shouldn't be a problem.
Gu Qingyuan looked at him, and Pei Jinting's eyes were full of her shadow.
He will help her, right?
Suddenly, she seemed to remember what Pei Jinting said to her ear that night when she was groggy.
It seems to be very important.
He said, Gu Yuanyuan, please develop a relationship with me.
