"You treacherous son, you have done such a thing and you still dare to make excuses. This is what your father taught you?" Mr. Gu said angrily to Gu Jingheng. He was only afraid that Gu Jingheng would say another word at this moment.
Gu Jinghuan covered his hot cheeks and was stunned for a moment. He looked at Mr. Gu in disbelief, "Father."
This slap was a slap in the face of Mr. Gu. He himself was reluctant to scold the children he had taught carefully since childhood, but if he continued to make trouble like this, it would only make the emperor think that the Gu family was a scoundrel.
Moreover, if he really continues to talk about it, wouldn’t it be impossible to hide the matter between him and the Lu family?
Lord Gu kowtowed three times to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I failed to educate my son well, and made him commit such a mistake, which also ruined Miss Lu's reputation. The son is still young, so I hope your Majesty will do it."
Spare him this time."
After that, he said to Lu Yuan, "Master Lu, everything is Quanzi's fault. I apologize to you here. As for Miss Lu, my Gu family will definitely come to apologize and ask for the girl to be my concubine someday."
"That's enough!" When the scene seemed harmonious, Lu Yuan couldn't help but speak out. He lowered his voice and shouted, his deep voice filled with almost uncontrollable anger.
"Master Gu, my daughter is innocent, but Master Gu wants to put an end to this matter just by saying she is a concubine? Then what do you Gu family think of my daughter? A brothel girl on the street?"
After Lu Li heard this, he raised his head in confusion. Her doubtful eyes met Gu Jinghuan's, and she felt a chill in her heart.
Lu Li remembered that that day, Gu Jinghuan made a promise in her ear, "If you help me reach a high position in the future, girl, I hope you can become the woman by my side."
He was so gentle when he said these words, but now he allows his father to abuse him and make her a concubine.
Lu Li looked at him tremblingly, "Gu Jinghuan, do you really want to marry me as your concubine?"
How could he? How could he let his father do this.
Gu Jinghuan had already recovered from the slap. He looked at Lu Li indifferently, gave the emperor a deep kiss, and said clearly, "I can't blame you for this. I hope your majesty will be kind and allow me to marry Miss Lu Li as my concubine.
"
With one word, the light in Lu Li's eyes dissipated, and she leaned back and leaned against Chu Yue.
It turned out that he didn't care about himself at all. Everything was just wishful thinking. From beginning to end, he never defended himself. The only thing he cared about was himself. Even if he was also involved in the conspiracy, he didn't want to believe her.
Half a minute.
His decisiveness and ruthlessness made people feel heartbroken. Just now she had a glimmer of hope, but it turned out that in his eyes she was nothing more than a pawn, a joke.
"Making my daughter a concubine? It would be better for my daughter to die. Father, how do you want your daughter Hihe to behave and hold her head up in this capital?" Lu Li looked like he really wanted to die.
Lu Yuan protected Lu Li, "No, Li'er, my father will never let you become a concubine."
He looked at Mr. Gu, knowing that it was useless to talk to him now, so he just said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I know that people speak lightly, but my daughter is absolutely not allowed to be a concubine.
I beg your Majesty to make the decision for me. I beg you, for the sake of my loyalty to the Qi Dynasty, and for the sake of hard work without any merit, let the Gu family ask Li'er to be my wife. I, the Lu family, are all grateful for your majesty's kindness." He said.
After saying that, he kowtowed to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
He kept kowtowing and repeating this sentence. At this point, he could only use his old face to seek this marriage for his daughter. He could not watch Li'er die in front of him.
Even if he offends the Gu family in the future, even if he loses his own future, he doesn't care at all.
Seeing that Lu Yuan had the intention to oppress the emperor, Lord Gu could only bring up another matter. He also put his last hope on this, "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want Heng'er to marry a daughter of the Lu family as his wife, but Heng'er is already married, so Miss Lu can only be forced to become a concubine."
As soon as these words came out, sparse voices rang out from the crowd.
"Marriage? When did Mr. Gu Xiaohou get married?"
"you do not know?"
"have no idea."
"This was also agreed upon by the old lady of the Shen family and the old lady of the Gu family many years ago. At that time, the engagement ceremony was a sensation in the entire Kyoto. The dowry alone was five miles away along Dadong Street."
Lu Li looked at everyone present, and finally glanced at Shen Zi. There was indescribable disgust and hatred in his eyes. Did she really want to marry Gu Jinghuan's concubine? Could she not be suppressed by Shen Zi for the rest of her life? She Not willing, not willing.
"Father, my daughter doesn't want to be a concubine. My daughter doesn't want to be a concubine. My daughter would rather die." Lu Li turned to look at Lu Yuan. At this moment, he could only place his hope in him. She didn't want to be a concubine. She had to become Gu Jinghuan's first lady, otherwise everything would be in vain. It's over.
Gu Jinghuan looked at the woman on the ground indifferently. What happened tonight was too sudden. He could no longer guess what role Lu Li played in it. He was also confused. How could he believe the words of the palace maid and come here alone? At this moment, my heart was in chaos, and my clenched fists were shaking constantly.
At this time, he couldn't break off the engagement with Shen Zi, at least not yet. As for Lu Li, everything happened too fast. He couldn't see through that woman anymore. He had to understand this matter as soon as possible.
He didn't care who the woman beside him was, but as soon as he left, someone came behind him. Even he couldn't distinguish the letter on the ground, which meant that someone had already arrived when he came to Linglong Pavilion. Calculate the overall situation.
When things get serious between him and Lu Li, who can get the greatest benefit from it?
Shen family? But Shen Zi is obsessed with herself and would never do this?
Lu family? But just now Lu Li said he didn’t know anything?
The Jiang family? The Jiang family has always been on good terms with his father, so it is impossible for him to do this. But Jiang Kaiyuan's behavior today is quite suspicious, but Jiang Kaiyuan in the past.
Who on earth could plan all of this in such a short period of time and make it so interconnected that the Gu family is deeply involved.
Lu Yuan protected Lu Li behind him and comforted him, "No, father will not let you be my concubine."
He seemed to be telling Lu Li, and he seemed to be telling himself that with the Shen family's marriage, Li'er had no choice but to be a concubine, but if she didn't marry into the Gu family, Li'er's life would be ruined, and Qing Qing would be waiting for her. Denggu Buddha.
Unless, unless the Shen family agrees to cancel the marriage.
However, he knew better than anyone how the Shen family could agree to cancel the marriage.
He didn't understand how his good daughter could be framed by someone, and why it was his daughter who was unlucky.
However, at this time, the people around him retreated in twos and threes.
