Chapter 820: Gloating over misfortune
Gu Zhang is a scholar after all and is the quickest to figure it out. He nodded, "We are now the royal family's in-laws. No matter how ordinary we think we are, it doesn't seem that way in the eyes of others."
“In all things in the world, there must be gains and losses.”
“We have gained status and money, but we have to lose freedom to a certain extent, as well as other things.”
Gu Fei smiled at her father, "Dad still understands."
Gu Zhang sighed, "I should have thought of this."
"Fortunately, there is no danger this time. From now on, I will do as you say."
Gu Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then when I go back, I will ask people to see if there are any good houses in the city. The city is safer than outside the city. The city gate is closed at night, and there are officers and soldiers patrolling the streets."
Ms. Chen had a frown on her face. She didn't want to go to the city to live. Now that she was in the city, it would be inconvenient to visit other places. Being at home every day would be like going to jail.
Gu Fei looked at Mrs. Chen and said softly: "Mom, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, our family wouldn't have suffered from this."
Ms. Chen felt heartbroken when her daughter said this, "What are you talking about?"
"My parents didn't think it through. Our family is not short of money now. We should have hired some nursing homes long ago."
At this time, the servants came over to say that the food had been set.
Everyone moved to the next door to eat together. After eating for a while, Taoer came over.
“Grandma just went back. She just said she felt bad. Mom asked me to ask if I would like to ask a doctor to take a look.”
Gu Zhang knew that Qian was unwilling to pay, so he motioned to the girl next to him, "Ask the housekeeper to ask a doctor to take a look. I'll be there soon after dinner."
The girl is out.
Tao'er smiled, leaned over and said with bright eyes, "I just heard from grandma that those who kidnapped her were here for Xiao Fei. Xiao Fei, have you offended someone?"
Gu Fei looked at her with a half-smile, "Sister Taoer, there are some things that you shouldn't ask about. Sometimes, the more you know, the faster you will die."
Tao'er's mouth twitched, "You guys eat, I'm going back to take care of grandma."
After Tao'er left, Mrs. Chen put the bowl down and said, "Who is this?"
“I saw her smiling like she was gloating about her misfortune.”
Gu Fei was calm. She gave her mother a piece of food and said, "Mom, this is not surprising. People's hearts are like this. Our family's life is so enviable. There are always people who wish us bad luck."
Ms. Chen couldn't help but mutter, "It's the same with you, you tell people everything."
"Looking at your breasts, you couldn't wait to leave, as if our family was a plague."
Gu Fei chuckled and said, "Mom, don't be angry. Some people are like this. They can only share wealth and honor but not adversity."
“As everyone knows, sugarcane is not as sweet as both ends, and no benefit in this world comes for free.”
She glanced at Gu Zhang and said, "My mother is gone, so my mother will be cleaner."
Gu Zhang coughed lightly and said, "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables."
After dinner, Li Chunhua insisted on going back to the palace to pick up Xiaoshu.
Gu Zhang sent a boy to drive the carriage.
The carriage arrived at the side door of the palace. Because the porter of the palace did not recognize the boy, the carriage stopped. Gu Fei raised the curtain and told the porter, "It's me, open the door."
The concierge hurriedly opened the door when he saw Gu Fei.
Just at this moment, a person suddenly rushed out from the side and knelt down suddenly in front of the carriage, "Prince Princess, please help me."
Gu Fei narrowed his eyes and saw that the person kneeling on the ground turned out to be Shan Zi's mother.
