"I don't know since when, there were rumors that the eldest lady was going to enter the palace. The old lady also acquiesced to this statement.
The number of people who said they were close was gradually decreasing. Suddenly one day, the eldest lady fell ill and fainted at a flower party organized by Mrs. Chengen.
After being sent home, he fell ill, to the point where he could no longer see guests or hear human voices.
The doctor said she needed to rest, so the old man sent her to a village in the countryside, with Mrs. Jing accompanying her.
When the eldest lady went, she brought a total of thirty-six maids and maids, fifty guards, and ten luggage carts.
The motorcade left the city, causing a sensation in the whole city. It was just a trip to recuperate, but it was so grand. Everyone felt that it was really her destiny to enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine.
The eldest gentleman occasionally went to Zhuangzi to visit the eldest lady. About a year later, one day, the eldest lady went to Zhuangzi and brought back the eldest young master and Mrs. Jing.
Even though Mrs. Jing was born in a humble family, she was not a child born after taking her into the family. She was the eldest lady's personal maid, so she was somewhat disgraceful.
But this kind of thing is nothing to the Gu family. After all, the continuation of the bloodline is the most important. He is the only child and only son of the eldest master. This status is enough.
The eldest son has been very smart and outstanding since he was a child. As usual, Mrs. Jing's status has increased, and she can even compete with the eldest wife.
However, the eldest master didn't like her very much, and he never went to her house. She was also very quiet, and basically didn't care about the eldest son's upbringing and learning, leaving everything to the old master.
The eldest lady, however, has been living in the countryside and has not returned. It was not until the eldest son was five years old that someone in the palace asked about the eldest lady's current situation, and the family did not bring her back.
The eldest lady seemed to have changed at that time. She became skinny and skinny, her appearance was no longer beautiful, and she became taciturn and disliked seeing people.
The palace envoy saw her appearance and did not even let her enter the palace, saying that he was afraid of scaring the nobleman.
From then on, the eldest lady moved to live there, and her marriage was not mentioned at home.
The eldest son has loved reading since he was a child. In addition, the eldest wife has never been very kind to him. The eldest master is very cold to him, and Mrs. Jing does not like to get close to him, so he often goes into hiding.
He often stayed in there all day long and refused to come out when it was time to eat. The eldest lady would cook for him with her own hands and teach him how to read.
The rumor spread from that time. The cleaning woman said that the eldest young master and the eldest lady looked really alike. She also said that she saw the eldest young master sleeping and the eldest lady hugged him and cried..."
Mu Yunhan couldn't help but interrupt Elder Wu: "How could such sensational words come from the mouth of a woman who does menial work? Isn't it intentional?"
She felt that Mrs. Gu might have done this kind of thing.
That woman is the best at doing this kind of thing.
Elder Wu smiled bitterly: "That may be the case. But the eldest master did something. He had that woman Ling Chi executed. He also replaced all the people and punished them one after another. He strictly ordered the eldest son not to go again."
"It's been done well," Mu Yunhan said.
The reaction was so intense, it was more like a guilty conscience covering up.
Elder Wu sighed: "Who can say otherwise? Since then, the eldest son's life has become even more difficult. The eldest master ignored him completely. Once he was bullied, his temper became weird."
