As soon as Gu Qiancheng left, the old lady, who was lying on the bed pretending to be faint, got up with the help of a servant. She heard everything in the house and refused to come out because she was afraid of being embarrassed.
"Boss, you have raised a good daughter." The old lady was so angry that her whole body was shaking. The old man was no longer as strong as before, and he was submissive and did not dare to say a word.
"Hmph..." The old lady used a cane and hit the ground with a loud "dong" sound, which scared everyone so much that they dared not say a word. Gu Qianmeng also stopped crying and sat there twitching.
Pitiful.
"Don't cry, I'm not dead yet." The old lady turned around and sat down on the main seat with a cold face. The eldest man and Mrs. Gu rushed forward to support her, while Mrs. Gu touched the non-existent tears at the corner of her eyes.
He said with an aggrieved look: "Mom, don't be angry. It's all my fault. She didn't take care of Qiancheng. If you're unhappy, just beat her." After that, he knelt down.
When the second lady and Gu Qianmeng saw this, they followed suit and knelt at the old lady's feet one by one, "Grandma, it's not the granddaughter's fault. If it weren't for your granddaughter, grandma, you wouldn't have to suffer."
It seems to be comforting, but in fact it is provoking, but the old lady is just like this.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. Qiancheng's temper is getting more and more left-handed. Before she dared to take me and the boss to court, I just thought she was a child who was ignorant and was deceived. Now that she came to the door, I thought she was sensible.
, I don’t want to look like that, who else would dare to ask for a girl like this except a merchant."
If the old lady asked Gu Qiancheng to marry some wealthy businessman as a stepmother before, it was to keep her second wife and Qianmeng, but now it is simply because she doesn't like Qiancheng anymore.
Gu Qiancheng made the old lady embarrassed again and again, and the old lady wished that she would spend the rest of her life in a miserable place.
"Come here, put on makeup for me, I want to go to the palace to see the empress." The old lady shouted angrily. She didn't believe that Gu Qiancheng dared to refuse the marriage despite the empress' words.
This is a beautiful imagination, but the old lady forgot...
"Mom, you can't enter the palace during this period." The elder persuaded her hard.
The old lady's expression suddenly changed, her whole face turned pale, and her hands and feet were trembling.
How could she forget this moment?
"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?"
"Mother, mother, don't leave us."
The old lady was definitely frightened this time.
The eldest master and the second master Gu gathered around the old lady, with anxious expressions on their faces. The second lady and Gu Qianmeng had already crawled to the old lady, pressing and pinching her. After a lot of tossing, the old lady finally came back to her senses.
"I'm fine." The old lady calmed down quickly. On the surface, it looked like nothing happened. If Gu Qiancheng were here, he would know that this was a sign of a stroke. If something bad happened, the old lady would
He might have had a stroke.
"It doesn't matter if you can't enter the palace. The fifth prince can leave the palace now." The old lady quickly calmed down and grabbed the eldest man's hand, "Boss, you go to the fifth prince and tell him that the salt merchant from Jiangnan wants to marry Qian Cheng
, the fifth prince will definitely agree, he will definitely do it!"
The salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are as rich as the country. If the fifth prince can win over the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, the fifth prince will not have to worry about money. By then, he will have the confidence to win over the courtiers or establish his own power.
Although the eldest master and the second master Gu are not stingy, they still have some brains, and they know there is something going on as soon as they hear it.
"Grandma, do you really want Qian Cheng to marry that wealthy businessman named Liu?" Gu Qianmeng's mouth opened wide and she couldn't close it for a long time.
Didn't they ask Qiancheng to give them a dowry and give them a second house to pay off their debts in the name of forced marriage? Why did they ask Qiancheng to get married?
"What? You want to marry?" The old lady narrowed her eyes with threats. Gu Qianmeng shook her head hastily: "No, no, no, I don't want to. Thank you grandma, thank you grandma for saving your life. Qianmeng will always remember her grandma.
.”
Although Gu Qianmeng felt a little guilty, that little guilt was nothing compared to her own happiness.
"My Qianmeng is a good boy, don't worry, grandma will choose a good marriage for you." The old lady narrowed her eyes with satisfaction, grabbed Gu Qianmeng's hand, and patted it repeatedly, but her mind was constantly calculating.
stand up.
"Grandma is so kind." Gu Qianmeng felt a chill running down his spine. He shivered and stood up shakily. He snuggled into the old lady's arms obediently, but the smile on his face was a bit stiff.
After walking out of Gu's house, Gu Qiancheng got on the carriage without looking back, asking the driver to hurry back as she had something important to do.
Although the Gu family's explanation was unclear, Gu Qiancheng was certain from the limited clues that the marriage they mentioned was not simple. She must find out the ins and outs of the matter as soon as possible to avoid being deceived by the Gu family.
You must know that the emperor did not give her a definite answer at the beginning, and there was no imperial decree or outsiders in this matter. The emperor could take it back at any time.
The Gu family has a favored Concubine Gu, and a powerful fifth prince. If these two people ask, the emperor might change his mind and let the Gu family get their wish.
Although the Gu family has been demoted, it cannot be underestimated. Gu Qiancheng does not want to be passive and get married into the Gu family inexplicably, ruining his life.
The driver didn't know why. He immediately speeded up after hearing the order. He took Gu Qiancheng safely to another hospital in less than half the time. "Girl, we're here."
"Yes." As soon as the carriage stopped, Gu Qiancheng jumped out without waiting for help from his servants, and walked quickly into the yard, saying as he walked: "Wuding, Wuding, where are you? Come out!"
Having no one around her is not a long-term solution. It seems she has to cultivate her own power. Otherwise, if Qin Jiyan doesn't tell her, she will be blind and not know anything.
"Girl." Wu Ding ran up to Gu Qiancheng in three steps. One of his trousers legs was rolled up and he didn't even have time to put it down.
"Send someone to keep an eye on the Gu family to see who they are getting close to during this period. In addition, I want to find out who the Gu family has offended recently, or if something big has happened to the Gu family." Gu Qiancheng said quickly and urgently.
, Wu Ding knew that the matter was not simple, so he turned around and went to do it without even putting down his trousers.
After Wu Ding left, Gu Qiancheng also calmed down, stood in the yard in a daze, and smiled bitterly: She was so uncool sometimes.
After shaking his head and calming down, Gu Qiancheng walked towards the room. As soon as he opened the door, before he could step in, he saw a ball-shaped object flying over.
Gu Qiancheng was startled and instinctively caught it. Sure enough, she heard the little ferret squeaking in her arms, looking very happy.
"You... are naughty." Seeing the silly and cute look of the little ferret, Gu Qiancheng's mood improved a bit.
It is not easy for the Gu family to plot against her. Who is afraid of whom?
Gu Qiancheng put aside the Gu family matters and felt relieved, but Qin Jiyan in the palace was having a headache...
