After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Xie Qing's biological mother, Xu, came from a noble family. She could be said to be a completely different person from Su.

Su was born in a merchant family. She lived a life of luxury since childhood. She usually went to the theatre, went shopping or bought some storybooks to pass the time.

The old man of the Xu family was a famous scholar who taught his descendants strictly. Xu started to learn at the age of three and became a famous young talent in Beijing at the age of ten.

Since they were clear-minded, they naturally devoted most of their energy to studying. Therefore, although the Xu family had a collection of three thousand books, they did not have much silver.

Many court officials were disciples of Old Master Xu. When Old Master Xu was alive, the Xu family was considered prosperous. However, none of the Xu family's sons were very capable, and the Xu family declined after the old master passed away.

Xu's dowry was not much back then, and she was not good at accounting so she didn't leave much property behind. These boxes were mostly books that she brought with her.

Gu Rou looked through the boxes one by one. Not to mention the ruby ​​headpieces, there were not even many pearl hairpins. She pursed her lips, sighed softly and said, "Back then, my mother and father's wedding attracted much attention in the city. Even now, my mother still sighs with me about the grand occasion back then.

Unfortunately, we never had the chance to see it, and can only look at these books left by our mother to remember her. "

Gu Jin curled his lips, tilted his head to look at Gu Rou and asked, "Second sister, do you think the first lady's dowry is too little?"

Gu Rou's face froze.

Gu Jin is poisonous!

She did mean that, but who would say something like that directly?

But the matter had already been brought up by Gu Jin. Gu Rou pursed her lips and said, "My husband has always missed his mother. One more relic will give him one more thing to think about."

Su finally understood what Gu Rou meant, and her expression became unhappy. "The late Madam's things are all here. I gave them to my mother to keep on the first day I married into the mansion. If you don't believe me, just ask and you'll know."

Are you kidding? Would the daughter of the Su family covet other people’s money?

Gu Rou was stunned for a moment, looking at Huo at a loss.

Mrs. Huo didn't even bother to look at her, she just nodded and said, "Yes, I have been keeping this thing all along. If you feel that there is something missing, just ask someone to get the booklet, right?"

"I dare not. I don't know that the things are kept by grandma. We naturally trust grandma." Gu Rou felt that Mrs. Huo didn't like her very much, and this time she was even more flustered.

Gu Jin said slowly, "Second sister, what do you mean by that? Did you think that the things were kept by mother, so you suspected that mother had kept the things of the late wife?"

"No... I didn't mean that..." Gu Rou waved her hands repeatedly, her little face flushed with embarrassment.

She looked at Xie Qing for help, hoping that he would help her out as soon as possible.

But at this moment, Xie Qing was looking at Gu Jin with a frown, still immersed in the anger of being betrayed by Gu Jin.

"Okay, the tea is served. I'm a little tired, so you all can go."

Huo started to chase them away, and everyone stood up and left.

Gu Jin naturally took Xie Ran's arm. Xie Ran smiled and said softly, "Let's go to mother's house for dinner. I specially asked the kitchen to prepare some dishes according to your taste."

Gu Jin also cooperated professionally and said, "Thank you for your concern, my husband."

Seeing that there was no estrangement between the two of them and that they looked like a sweet couple, Mrs. Huo showed a rare smile on her face.

Getting into the wrong bridal sedan and ending up in a happy marriage is a blessing in disguise.

A world has been realized in which only Gu Rou was injured during the tea ceremony today. Not only did she lose a set of ruby ​​head ornaments, but she also offended the Huo and Su families. How will she live her life as a bride in the future?

Ma returned to the courtyard and dismissed the servants in the house. She said to the second master, "I didn't expect that the eldest daughter of the Gu family is so capable. She helped Su out of the predicament with just a few words."

The second master took a sip of tea and smiled faintly, "It's better to be more powerful. If Qing'er and the other two get all the benefits, this show will be meaningless.

Besides, there is a powerful person behind Qing'er. Just wait and see, there will be trouble in the first room!"

Xie Qing did not go back to the yard directly, but took Gu Rou to Aunt Xu's yard.

When Xu passed away, Xie Qing was still young. Marquis Yongchang was worried about leaving Xie Qing to others, so he took Xu's half sister as a concubine. Therefore, although Aunt Xu was a concubine in Marquis Yongchang's mansion, she was also Xie Qing's aunt, and had a deep relationship with Xie Qing.

Aunt Xu had already heard about Songhetang from her own daughter Xie Siyin, so when Xie Qing and the others arrived, Aunt Xu said, "Qing'er, you are really too impatient this time.

The old lady values ​​rules the most. How can she be happy if you offend Su in front of everyone?"

"She is just a business woman. How can she be qualified to accept my gift?" Xie Qing disagreed.

Aunt Xu's graceful face showed a trace of worry, she said softly: "That being said, the Marquis's Mansion has not yet appointed a prince, and the Marquis has always been filial, so he will definitely listen to the old lady's opinion on this matter.

The old lady is already very unhappy about the marriage exchange, you must not make her angry again, otherwise Xie Ran will take advantage of it. "

When Gu Rou heard this, her heart sank instantly. Her father and mother had told her that the position of the Crown Prince would definitely be Xie Qing. If Xie Ran became the Crown Prince, wouldn't she become a joke!

Aunt Xu saw her expression change, her eyes flickered slightly, and she said: "But the throne of the heir should belong to Qing'er, and you are talented in writing and highly valued by the Marquis, so you just need to be careful in the future.

Xie Ran was seriously injured this time. Although he was lucky enough to survive, he will probably have difficulty in bearing children for the time being. As long as you give birth to the eldest grandson of the Marquisate before them, the position of the Crown Prince will be yours by then."

Hearing this, Gu Rou's pretty face turned red and she lowered her head shyly. However, Xie Qing did not look at her, but instead breathed a sigh of relief.

In this case, it will be difficult for Xie Ran and Gu Jin to consummate their marriage for the time being. Once he obtains the position of Crown Prince first, he can drive Xie Ran out of Beijing, and then Gu Jin will have to rely on him!

"Don't worry, Auntie. I understand."

Seeing Xie Qing agree, Aunt Xu smiled and nodded, but a sharp look appeared in her gentle eyes.

She wanted to meet this Miss Gu and find out who she was!
