Zhou Gu briefly explained what Duan Hua had done and how he dealt with it in disgust.
After finishing speaking, he said irritably: "Now that she returns to Beijing, she is afraid that she will sue me."
The Duke's wife frowned and did not comment immediately. She only asked: "Have you told your grandfather about this?"
"Forgot." When Zhou Gu met the old Protector at that time, he only talked about Su Rong and his plan, and did not think of Duan Hua.
The Duke's wife looked at Princess Sheng'an and said, "Mother, Princess Qingping dotes on her children, and Your Majesty also dotes on Duanhua. What Brother Gu did was too tough and inappropriate. Logically speaking, she is free to go wherever she goes.
, although there was a reason for his interference, it was definitely wrong. Duanhua had suffered such a big loss, and it was certain that he would cry when he went back. Princess Qingping was already dissatisfied with Brother Gu's dislike of Duanhua, so I'm afraid she wouldn't
Give it up and let it go."
The eldest princess of Sheng'an snorted, "What does that little girl Duanhua want to do? She won't go to Jiangning sooner or later. She insists on chasing after Brother Gu. Think about it with your toes, no one can
Do you know what her intentions were? Our brother Gu did the right thing. If we really let her go, wouldn't it disturb the little girl of the Su family's wedding ceremony? If her attitude is not tough, with her crazy energy, she will point out
It might cause a bigger trouble."
After she finished speaking, she praised Zhou Gu, "You did a good job. Since you don't like it, you can't be soft-hearted when dealing with such a crazy girl. Otherwise, she will have to push you further and use her to attack you. She can force you to do anything. You are your own
Fiancée, of course you have to protect yourself. Don’t expect that crazy girl not to do anything. She is spoiled because of her status. Is there anything she can’t do? It’s right to kill the trouble that you know will happen. "
Zhou Gu's expression immediately improved, "Grandma said yes, that's what I think."
"Yes." The eldest princess Sheng'an nodded, "If Qingping comes to you, just ask her to come to me. Just say that I ordered you to do this. If Your Majesty brings you in front of me to listen to the instructions, I will accompany you to the palace."
.”
Zhou Gu nodded. The title of his grandmother, the eldest princess of Sheng'an, was different from other princesses. She was given the title by Taizong himself. In front of His Majesty, she was equivalent to the Queen Mother. Naturally, he was not afraid of Your Majesty.
The eldest princess of Sheng'an sighed, "Over the years, these brothers and sisters have become more and more out of character. If it weren't for your grandfather and I, these two old bones are still alive, huh, they might have taken action against the Protector's Palace long ago.
.”
Zhou Gu immediately said: "My grandfather and you must live a long life. I can walk sideways only because of you two."
"Don't talk too much." The Duke's wife really doesn't like her son now.
"That's right, we two old guys will definitely live until all your grandchildren are running around." Princess Sheng'an said with a smile: "I will have this ambition."
"Grandma is so ambitious." Zhou Gu raised his finger in praise.
The eldest princess Sheng'an looked at his smiling face, and she was in a good mood. She smiled and patted his hand, "Are you tired too? Eat first. After eating, if there is no movement in the palace, you can also
Go back and rest early."
Zhou Gu said, "I'm not tired. I also want to ask my grandfather how to ask grandmother and mother for advice to better understand the thoughts of his daughter's family. After talking for a long time, I haven't said anything yet." But now the room is full of people, aunts.
Even though he was here, he didn't have the nerve to speak, so he nodded, "I'm really tired."
The eldest princess of Sheng'an smiled and ordered people to rush to the kitchen to urge her, and then asked Zhou Gu, "Are you still used to the food in Jiangning County?"
Zhou Gu nodded, "They are all quite delicious. I brought some food back and asked the kitchen to cook it for grandma to try."
The eldest princess of Sheng'an smiled happily and said, "Okay, okay, grandma, try it. My brother Gu is the most filial."
It is said that the old son and grandson are the lifeblood of the old lady. But in the case of the eldest princess of Sheng'an, the eldest grandson must be brought up to be stable and support the family. Naturally, he cannot be spoiled. Therefore, she cannot be too kind, nor can she be too doting.
As for her youngest grandson, she doesn't have that worry, but she loves him so much that even if Zhou Gu doesn't bring her anything, she will praise him for his hard work in Jiangning, not to mention Zhou Gu is really talented.
Filial piety.
After the meal, there was still no movement in the palace, so Princess Sheng'an urged Zhou Gu to go back to Shuanglin Garden to rest.
The Duke's wife followed her son out of the eldest princess's yard. On the way, Zhou Gu thought that his mother was going to scold him, but the Duke's wife did not. Instead, she asked him: "Isn't the eldest son of the Su family going in with you?"
From Jing? Why didn’t you invite him to live in your house?”
"Invited. He has a house in Beijing. He stayed there and said he would come to visit some other time." Zhou Gu breathed a sigh of relief when his mother didn't scold him again.
The Duke's wife suddenly understood and let him go, "Okay, you can go back and rest!"
Zhou Gu quickly returned to Shuanglinyuan.
He was not too tired, so he didn't go into the house and took a walk in the yard.
After entering the yard at midnight, he saw Zhou Gu walking in the yard and was stunned for a moment, "Sir, why didn't you go back to the house to rest? Are you... taking a walk?"
Zhou Gu said "Hmm". He didn't have the habit of taking a walk after meals before, but now Su Rong has developed this habit. He pointed to the clothes on his body and asked him, "How much do you think my clothes are worth?"
money?"
Ziye was confused, but still looked at Zhou Gu's clothes carefully and said, "Sir, this dress on you is really beautiful. Was it made in Jiangning County? It looks very expensive. It must be worth a thousand taels of silver, right?"
Zhou Gu felt comfortable. Look, he was not the only one who didn't know how expensive it was. Didn't Ziye, who was following him, also don't know how expensive it was?
Ziye looked at Zhou Gu's expression and asked uncertainly: "Master, why are you asking this subordinate? Is what I said wrong?"
"Well, this piece of clothing is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold." Zhou Gu gave him some popular science.
Ziye opened her eyes wide, "Is this, so, expensive?"
Zhou Gu nodded and waved to him, "Go on, don't disturb my walk."
Midnight walked towards her house with a confused look on her face, turning back as she walked, as if thinking, ah ah ah, it’s so expensive.
Compared with Guogong's Mansion, which was pleasant and quiet, Princess Qingping's Mansion was in turmoil.
After Princess Duanhua returned to Princess Qingping's mansion, she saw Princess Qingping and cried and threw herself into her arms.
Princess Qingping dotes on her daughter the most. After not seeing her for many days, she missed her so much that she thought she was crazy playing outside and didn't even want to go back home. Now that she came back and cried when she saw her, she felt heartbroken.
Broken, "Duanhua, you, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
Princess Qingping held her daughter in her arms and asked. The more she asked, the more Princess Duanhua wanted to cry when she thought of the injustice she had suffered these days, "Mother, Zhou Gu bullied me..."
When Princess Qingping heard that it was okay, her expression suddenly changed, "Why did he bully you? Is your innocence gone?"
Princess Duanhua stopped crying, and then started crying again.
Princess Qingping was extremely anxious, "Don't just cry. Tell mother, what's going on? Mother will make the decision for you."
Princess Duanhua cried sadly, "He won't let me go to Jiangning County... He's hateful... He doesn't even care about my life or death..."
Princess Qingping was puzzled, "Didn't you go for more than twenty days? Why didn't you go to Jiangning County? Then where did you go?"
"I didn't go anywhere..." Princess Duanhua was angry and angry, "He asked someone to stop me... He deserves to die..."
Princess Qingping listened to her intermittent words, but she didn't understand what was going on. She patted her daughter to comfort her, then turned her eyes and saw the two maids standing in Duanhua not far away, "You two tell me!"
The two maids looked at each other and both turned pale. One of them was bolder and said, "Back to the princess, our princess was originally going to Jiangning County, but halfway there, she was led by Young Master Zhou's guards.
He intercepted it and said that Young Master Zhou had said that he would not let the princess go to Jiangning County and let the princess return to the capital. However, the princess did not want to, so Young Master Zhou’s bodyguard asked people to stop him. He stopped half of the princess at once.
Months, until a few days ago, Young Master Zhou returned from Jiangning County, and on the way, he forcefully brought the princess back..."
Princess Qingping frowned, "Why did Zhou Gu stop Duanhua from going to Jiangning County?"
The maid lowered her head.
Duan Hua cried and said angrily: "He was afraid that I would go to Jiangning County and bully his fiancée, the little concubine of the Su family. So he restricted my freedom to go to Jiangning."
Princess Qingping looked ugly, "Everyone in Jiangning County can go, but he won't let you go because he is protecting her fiancée?"
"Well, he is in Jiangning County. He doesn't like me pestering him and won't let me go. But he has returned to Beijing and still won't let me go to Jiangning County." Princess Duanhua stretched out her wrist and said, "Mom,
You see, when I resisted, he actually had me kidnapped. The guard beside him, Ziye, dared to do the following to me. Mother, you must let the emperor chop off his head."
Princess Qingping was only a little angry at first, but when she saw the traces of Duanhua's wrists being tied, she suddenly became furious, "What a Zhou Gu! The King of Heaven has no control over my daughter going to Jiangning County, why should he, because of a fiancée,
Are you restricted from going?"
She held Duan Hua's wrist distressedly, "Where are your guards? Didn't you take hundreds of guards with you when you left?"
Duan Hua cried, "How can the guards of our princess's palace defeat the guards of the Duke Protector's Palace? The guards around Zhou Gu are all elite guards who have been on the battlefield. The guards you gave me are not the guards of the Duke Protector's Palace."
The opponent of the guard."
Princess Qingping choked and looked very ugly, "The protector is in trouble, whoever comes, please tell me to go down and give twenty slaps to each of the guards who travel with the princess."
After she finished her instructions, she looked at Duan Hua and said, "Stop crying, keep your tears, and go cry in front of your uncle. Mother will take you into the palace right now and let your uncle make the decision for you. Zhou Gu is too much of a bully."
Duan Hua nodded and emphasized, "Mom, you must let Uncle Huang chop off that slave Ziye's head."
Princess Qingping nodded, "The following offenders should be beheaded."
So the mother and daughter didn't tidy up. One had a sullen face, the other had eyes red and swollen from crying, and they took a car to the palace together.
