Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

In the main hall, the eldest lady looked at the mother and son who came to the door solemnly early in the morning, and then glanced at Cui Jun who was also confused. She really couldn't understand the situation in front of her.

She asked with a smile: "I wonder why Mrs. Guhou and Mr. Gu are here?"

Mrs. Gu Hou's smile became even brighter, "The princess and the Duke must have heard what was said about the three girls and the child in the house, right?"

The eldest lady couldn't figure out what she meant. Could it be that she believed the rumors and brought her son to them to ask for an explanation and to clear up the relationship? If that's the case, then she really made a mistake before.

The eldest lady said calmly: "Those words are deliberately spread by someone to smear our family Yaying. Your son is also an insider, so he knows the truth best."

When the eldest lady's eyes glanced at Gu Zhan, he immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said: "This junior and Miss Cui are innocent. When I heard those people slandering Miss Cui's reputation, this junior also felt aggrieved for her."

"You are interested." The eldest lady's expression brightened slightly.

Mrs. Gu Hou said: "The princess didn't know something. As soon as Zhan'er heard about this, he was going to prove the innocence of the third girl to everyone, but I and the Marquis stopped him. I was afraid that if he came forward rashly, he would not only be unable to help the third girl, but also It will become darker and darker, allowing those with good intentions to seize it, make a fuss about it, and do bad things with good intentions."

"What Madam Gu Hou said is true," the eldest lady nodded. She was right. This boy is a conscientious person, so she couldn't help but soften her words a little. "Speaking of which, your son is innocent just like us Yaying." Slandered by others. Don’t worry, the rumors will soon be disproven.”

Gu Zhan was not happy after hearing this, but looked at his mother anxiously.

Gu Hou

The lady gave him a comforting look, turned around and said, "Actually, I came here this time to propose marriage to Duke Dingguo and the princess for their son."

"What did you say?" Cui Jun, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.

The eldest lady also looked shocked.

Mrs. Gu Hou said with a smile: "I am not boasting, Zhan'er has been a pure-minded child since he was a child, and his nature is pure. Everything in his heart is shown on his face. His admiration for the third girl cannot be hidden from me. This mother."

Gu Zhan lowered his head in embarrassment, his neck and ears turning red.

Cui Jun and the eldest lady noticed his expression, but Mrs. Gu Hou did not notice it and continued to talk to herself: "Now that the two children have been arranged like this, it has become known to everyone. Mr. Hou and I thought that we might as well Just let them set the marriage, and tell the public that our two families have already made a verbal agreement, and it is reasonable for them to meet in private. This not only preserves their reputation, but also creates a good marriage, don't you think?"

If Yaying is also interested in Gu Zhan, this is indeed a good thing, but the eldest lady remembers that Yaying has clearly stated her attitude to her, and of course she will not agree to their marriage proposal against her daughter's wishes.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Mrs. Gu Hou thought for a while and said: "We also know that it is a bit aggrieved to let your beloved daughter marry our Chuanning Hou Mansion. But our two families used to have good relations, and Hou and I were a little aggrieved. You two know very well what kind of person I am. If Yaying can marry in, I promise to treat her like my own daughter and not let her suffer any injustice. "

"If I am lucky enough to marry Miss Cui, I swear that I will cherish her, respect her, and treat her well in this life." Gu Zhan raised his head.

Lai said sincerely.

After hearing what they said, the eldest lady's regret was palpable, "Thank you so much, Mr. Gu and his wife, for their love for our little girl. We can rest assured that Yaying can marry into the Gu family. But if we make a marriage arrangement at this time, I'm afraid I have wronged them. And although the marriage is decided by the parents, they must be in love with each other."

Cui Jun also said: "We have other ways to deal with the rumors outside. We don't need to get them engaged to quell them. We appreciate the kindness of Brother Gu and Madam."

Mrs. Gu Hou sighed and understood the meaning of their words, "In this case, we are presumptuous. It seems that Zhan'er does not have this blessing, so we will not disturb him."

Gu Zhan couldn't hide his disappointment. When he heard the rumors about him and Miss Cui, his first reaction was that he was happy. Although she had said that her relationship with him could not go any further that day in Meiyuan, he never thought of giving up right away.

He even thought that it would be great if it was like what was rumored outside, but the rumors quickly changed direction, and he realized that the matter was not that simple. Someone was deliberately guiding her to slander her.

He wanted to help her, so he expressed his feelings to his parents. Today, he came with his mother to ask what her parents meant. He came with high hopes, but he didn't expect this to be the result in the end. Could it be that he and Miss Cui were really destined to have no connection?

Cui Jun and the eldest lady stood up to see each other off.

Seeing the disappointment of the two people, the eldest lady couldn't bear it, "Mrs. Gu Hou can trust Yaying and propose marriage at this time for her sake. We have remembered this friendship. I also like Gu Zhan, but it's not right now. good time."

Mrs. Gu Hou said as she walked:

"I understand that whether we can become in-laws or not, it will not affect the relationship between our two families. Princess, there is no need to worry too much. Now that the government has a countermeasure, we can rest assured."

The two of them escorted them out of the Duke's Mansion in person. The eldest lady looked at Gu Zhan's figure on the horse, her tone full of pity, "What a good child, Gu Hou and his wife are both kind people. If Yaying is willing to marry It would be great to enter the Gu family."

"Okay, don't think about it. In the future, Yaying's husband's family will be no worse than the Gu family." Cui Jun was full of confidence.

The eldest lady looked away when she heard this and said, "You are just talking big words. There are not many people like the Gu family."

"Not much doesn't mean nothing."

"Well, let's deal with the matter at hand first, otherwise it will be more detrimental to Yaying if we delay it for a day." The eldest lady turned and walked back.

Before the two of them stepped through the door of the mansion, they heard someone behind them shouting anxiously: "My lord and eldest lady, please stay -"

The two turned around and saw Manager Liu of the house.

Cui Jun frowned, "What are you doing in a hurry?"

Manager Liu stopped in front of him to salute, and breathed heavily: "My lord, please forgive me. I just heard news about the third girl..."

The eldest lady became nervous when she heard this, "What bad things did they say about Yaying again?"

"No, it's not bad," Manager Liu hesitated, "It shouldn't be considered bad."

Cui Jun lost his temper, "You should tell me quickly, what did they say?"

Manager Liu swallowed his saliva and said in one breath: "I heard that Mr. Shen's son said in front of everyone in the restaurant today that those rumors that were not good for the third girl are false. If the third girl is really that kind of person, he will There is no need to miss each other for many years. He also said that as long as

The third girl nodded, and he was willing to marry the third girl immediately with three letters and six etiquette. "

Mrs. Cui Jun was so shocked that she could not speak.

After a long while, the eldest lady said in disbelief: "The young master you are talking about, Mr. Shen, is the nephew of the third lady, Shen Zhiming?"

Manager Liu nodded, "It's Mr. Shen."

Cui Jun came to his senses and said angrily: "Why is this kid here to join in the fun again?!"
