890 Aren’t you a thing?
Before Cai Xiaolian could say anything, Gu Xin spoke, ” “Duke Rong’s wife, what does my family’s condition have to do with you? You better take care of yourself! Li Shan isn’t your child, is she? you acknowledged her as your child, but you didn’t discipline her. What is she playing with?”
Lu Yang covered his face and pointed at Gu Xin angrily, ” “You, you’re saying I’m a thing?”
Gu Xin glanced at her,’aren’t you something? That’s right, you’re nothing! What did you just say about the Zhou family? Are you looking down on the Zhou family? Do you know who the daughter of the Zhou family is? That’s your mother! Every New Year or festival, when your Lu family opens an ancestral hall to pay respects to your ancestors, your own mother has to offer her incense and kowtow to her. You’re just a junior, yet you’re still spouting nonsense here. Your Lu family’s upbringing is really very good! In any case, we country bumpkins can’t raise such an unfilial child.”
you! You! Lu Yang pointed at Gu Xin. my mother is my father’s wife!
Gu Xin,’so what? Your mother is the wife, but she is the second wife! She would have to kowtow to the late Madam and lower her status. Of course, I don’t know if your family has done so. Outsiders won’t be able to see it anyway.”
Lu ni was so angry that she wanted to strangle Gu Xin but was stopped by Mrs. Lin’s men.
“Mother!” Lu Yang looked at Madame Lin, unconvinced.
Lin Shi asked the servant to take her to the carriage. She looked at Gu shouxin and his family.”The Gu family, right? I’ll remember that!”
Gu Xin wasn’t afraid of her. Her parents didn’t stop her anyway. She looked at Madame Lin, ” “You’re Madam Lu, right? I’ll remember it too! Thank you for remembering me, Mrs. Lu. Please mention me the next time you pay respects to aunt Zhou and let her know of my existence!”
“Hmph!” Madam Lu flung her hands and left.
Madam Xie also looked at the Gu family in disdain. Only Li Shan looked like she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
I’m sorry, second uncle, aunty Lian, sister Huihui, sister Xinxin. I didn’t know things would turn out like this. I’m sorry. Li Shan clutched her handkerchief, her face full of worry.
The four members of the Gu family didn’t even look at her and left.
The people around them dispersed. They were all ordinary people who were watching the show. They didn’t dare to say anything to the young ladies and madams of these powerful families, but they admired the Gu family!
When Gu Xin mentioned this, some of the older citizens couldn’t help but recall the scene from more than ten years ago when the country guarding Duke’s wife, Mrs Zhou, died. The Zhou family came to the capital and caused a scene.
Tsk, tsk. At the beginning of last year, the heir of the country guarding Duke died, and the position of the heir was passed on to the son of the second wife. They always felt that there was a big show going on in the Lu family of the country guarding Duke!
……
In Renshou Palace, the Grand Empress Dowager’s lips curled up as she listened to Shen Feng’s story about the Gu family on the street. “The Lin family and the Duke Zhengguo’s mansion, right? Let her have fun!”
Shen Feng was shocked, but he said calmly,”Yes! Grand Empress Dowager, then in the future, if you want to do it,”
The Empress Dowager interrupted him,”it’s fine even if you don’t let anyone hurt them.” As for the rest, he would just let it develop. Aijia killed all those annoying things with a hit of the stick, so how can little Xinxin have fun?”
“Yes, Zhenzhen!” Shen Feng replied.
After Shen Feng had retreated, the Emperor who had followed him over met him. The Emperor had only been serious in front of Shen Feng for a short while, but after he entered the house, he revealed his true colors in front of Grand Emperor and Empress Dowager,”Imperial grandmother, your grandson has already given the decree. Just let your grandson come and pay his respects every day!”
The Grand Empress Dowager cast him a glance.
The Emperor sat down obediently.
The Empress Dowager replied,”mm, it’s good that the decree has been issued.” Emperor, you must remember that Jinghe represents the face of the royal family. As long as she doesn’t cause too much trouble, you must support her and not destroy the prestige of our royal family! Your uncle, Duke Rong, is a man who pays the most attention to rules and status. We have to show the dignity of the royal family.”
The Emperor looked at Grand Empress Dowager with a strange expression, ” “Imperial grandmother, why does grandson feel that you are speaking the opposite of the truth? Are you going to mess with Duke Rong? Imperial grandmother, can you tell your grandson the reason?”
The Grand Empress Dowager glared at the Emperor.
