Zhou Mu felt that Gu Xiyan's words were reasonable.
He thought of Mrs. Yu and Yu Ran whom he met at the birthday banquet, and said sternly: "You don't have to accommodate the Yu family. Grandma looks at you unkindly, so there is no need for you to entertain the Yu family."
Speaking of the Yu family, Gu Xiyan had something to say: "Before today, we didn't know that the Yu family had moved to the capital. Today, my grandmother showed up at the birthday banquet. Should we visit the Yu family?"
After all, this is etiquette, otherwise people would probably say that Zhou Mu was unfilial.
Zhou Mu decisively rejected Gu Xiyan's proposal: "Since we met in the Hou Mansion today, we can treat it as if we have dealt with each other. As for what the Yu family will think of me, I don't care."
No one from the Yu family even came to his wedding, so why should he deal with the Yu family who didn't like him? It's okay for him to be wronged, but Xi Yan can't be wronged.
"No matter how we say that my mother is a member of the Yu family, is it not good for us to completely ignore the Yu family? I'm afraid that the young master will be criticized." Gu Xiyan still had concerns.
"My grandma didn't feel bad when she made things difficult for you in public today. It's my grandma who didn't like you first. I won't give my wife to her for waste. This matter has been decided and there is no need for further discussion!" Zhou Mu!
The coffin is sealed.
Gu Xiyan:......
In fact, in her opinion, Mrs. Yu was just a difficult old lady, but what he said was so wasteful that she couldn't laugh or cry.
Although Zhou Mu rejected the proposal to visit the Yu family, Gu Xiyan still prepared a bunch of gifts the next day and ordered people to send them to the Yu family.
Regardless of the reaction of the Yu family, she was very polite and wanted to let the people in the capital see that Zhou Mu and she had expressed their stance.
When Old Mrs. Yu saw the dozens of large and small gifts sent by Gu Xiyan, she felt quite comfortable, but then Yu Ran said: "My cousin is coming to Yu's house. Is it difficult to visit grandma? It's actually
You sent some dead things to send to our Yu family. Does this mean you are looking down on your grandmother or the Yu family?"
Mrs. Yu stopped laughing for a moment.
That's true if you think about it carefully.
They were all in the capital, so Gu Xiyan could have come in person, but she couldn't come to visit and sent the Yu family away with just these gifts. What's the point?
"My cousin's taste is not that good. There are so many ladies from famous families, which one is better than my cousin-in-law? Besides, we've been married for half a year, and I haven't seen my cousin-in-law pregnant with the little grandson. I don't know if she can't give birth to her." Yu
Ran Ji tried his best to restrain himself.
She would not admit that she was jealous of Gu Xiyan's rise from a down-and-out noblewoman to a prince's concubine, and being pampered by her cousin. Obviously she was also the daughter of the Yu family, and there was a princess in the Yu family, so she had every chance of becoming the prince.
Concubine's.
If my cousin is appointed as the crown prince, Gu Xiyan, a down-and-out noblewoman, will be promoted to the crown princess and her worth will be a hundred times higher.
If she could go to Beijing earlier and give her grandmother a hard time, she might have a chance to marry her cousin.
Rather than being occupied by Gu Xiyan in that distinguished position like now.
"With my cousin here, my cousin will be farther and farther away from our Yu family. I suspect that it is my cousin who is behind the scenes that prevents my cousin from being close to my grandmother. My grandmother had time to meet my cousin and asked her to divorce her.
Sister-in-law." Yu Ran tried his best to provoke her.
Old Mrs. Yu frowned when she heard this: "What are you talking about, kid? Do you know that the marriage between your cousin and cousin-in-law was granted by His Majesty? Does this mean that you can just divorce it? And Zimo may be appointed as the crown prince.
How can it be possible to divorce your wife easily under such circumstances?"
Although she didn't like Gu Xiyan and was dissatisfied with her grandson's daughter-in-law's contempt for the Yu family, she also knew that this marriage would not be easy to change.
"But my cousin is not good enough for my cousin, and she will only drag her down in the future. I only made this suggestion for my cousin's benefit." Yu Ran muttered dissatisfied.
Mrs. Yu looked Yu Ran up and down and suddenly asked: "Ran'er, tell grandma the truth, are you attracted to Zimo?"
Yu Ran's face showed a hint of shyness: "My cousin is good-looking. As soon as I saw my cousin, I felt that there is no man better than my cousin. Later, when I looked at my cousin's sister-in-law, I felt that my cousin was not as good as my cousin in everything...
…”
What else does Mrs. Yu not understand after hearing this?
This girl really fell in love with Zi Mo, probably not only because Zi Mo was good-looking, but also because Zi Mo had a noble status.
"Zi Mo, don't think about it. He can't possibly like you. Besides, he already has a prince and a concubine. No matter how bad his appearance is, she is still the eldest daughter of Wanqing Hou Mansion. What about you? Who is behind this? What do you think?
Zimo is something you can imagine?" Although Old Mrs. Yu had no relationship with Zhou Mu, after all, he was the son of his beloved daughter, and he was the best among men, so she subconsciously protected Zhou Mu.
Yu Ran didn't expect the old lady to speak so rudely. She looked unhappy and said coquettishly: "Would grandma rather protect my cousin, an outsider, than me, my direct granddaughter?"
Old Mrs. Yu glanced at Yu Ran and corrected her: "How come Xi Yan has become an outsider? She is the wife of Zi Mo Ming Matchmaker, and her majesty and Zi Mo value her. Maybe in Xi Yan's eyes, you are the outsider."
Yu Ran was angry that the old lady spoke rudely, but she couldn't argue with it. She was still unwilling to accept it, and took the old lady's arm affectionately and asked: "Is there any way for my grandma to let my cousin divorce my cousin? If I marry my cousin,
Just by getting closer and closer, these brothers will surely be valued by their cousin..."
Mrs. Yu withdrew her arm and said angrily: "You girl also saw it in Wanqinghou Mansion. Zimo didn't take me as his grandmother in his eyes. How could I, an old woman, influence his marriage? Ran'er
, although grandma is old and has dim eyesight, she is not so stupid that she thinks she has much ability. At that time, your grandfather's biggest wish was to keep the Yu family safe, and it didn't matter whether your brothers could join the officialdom. "
After saying this, the old lady asked Yu Ran to leave.
Yu Ran wasted her words and was a little discouraged, but she thought there might still be a chance.
If my grandmother doesn't want to go to the Zhou Mansion, she can just go by herself. Maybe she can still see her cousin.
With the plan in mind, she specially prepared some gifts and planned to go to Zhou Mansion in the afternoon in the name of the old lady's return gift.
Gu Xiyan really didn't expect that Yu Ran would come to her door suddenly, and Yu Ran came just after Zhou Mu returned to his house. The timing was too coincidental.
"Is this time to return a favor? Could it be that you want to stay at our house for dinner?" When Zhou Mu heard that Yu Ran was coming, he immediately felt disturbed.
"Everyone is here, we can't miss it. Master, do you want to go with us?" Gu Xiyan asked.
"Don't go!" Zhou Mu said to Gu Xiyan: "Go back quickly. Don't waste time on people who don't matter. Send them away quickly."
Gu Xiyan thought to herself that Yu Ran was from the Yu family, and she was obviously a relative of his, but she still wanted to send him away.
