Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

Not long after, the little maid who had just left Aunt Chang's room brought Gu Mingrong back, and Tingqin, who was called by Chang Xinya, also followed behind.

At this time, Aunt Chang had already sat down at the table, holding a cup of hot tea with green smoke in her hand.

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, just from Gu Mingrong's expression at this time, Aunt Chang knew that she might not be very happy at this time.

Noticing this, Aunt Chang slowly put down the teacup in her hand, and raised her chin slightly to Gu Mingrong:

"Here you come? Sit down first."

"What did my aunt call me here for?"

Because of the unhappiness in her heart, Gu Mingrong seemed a little bit out of interest at this time, but she obediently walked to the seat next to Chang Xinya and sat down.

Chang Xinya smiled slightly, and instead of answering Gu Mingrong's question, she asked Gu Mingrong:

"I heard that you went to your fourth brother's yard this morning?"

Although she was asking, she could tell from Aunt Chang's tone that she knew about Gu Mingrong's visit to Gu Yanshu's courtyard.

Aunt Chang has controlled the Marquis of Cheng'en's mansion for decades, except for Gu Hongji, an old lady who is not in good health, there is no one who can overwhelm her in terms of status.

It would be a little too incompetent if he couldn't grasp what happened in the Hou's mansion under such circumstances.

And Aunt Chang, as a concubine, can not only maintain constant honors and favors for decades, but can even hold the right to head the house that belongs exclusively to the mistress, so how can she be an incompetent person?

As Aunt Chang's biological daughter, Gu Mingrong naturally understood this, so she replied wearily:

"Since Auntie already knows, what else do you ask me?"

Perhaps because of the unhappiness in her heart, Gu Mingrong's tone was slightly offensive.

"Looking at you now, where did your fourth brother suffer?"

With Gu Mingrong's attitude, Aunt Chang didn't get angry, she just continued to ask in a soft voice.

After coming out of Gu Yanshu's courtyard, Gu Mingrong, who felt uncomfortable no matter what she thought, finally couldn't bear it anymore, and began to complain to Aunt Chang:

"...It's not a shame, it's just that I feel uncomfortable no matter how I think about it."

"Really?" Aunt Chang glanced at Gu Mingrong, and her tone brought a hint of reassurance from when she talked to Gu Hongji just now, "Talk to Auntie first, what happened at that time?"

At this time, Gu Mingrong, who felt that Aunt Chang would support her, finally became interested, and told Chang Xinya about the situation at that time.

Of course, when he said it, he didn't forget to add oil and vinegar to speak ill of Gu Yanshu.

"Forget it, Auntie, do you know? He actually wants to trick me!"

Especially when it came to Gu Yanshu digging a hole for her and wanting her to say something like "the third prince beats his wife", Gu Mingrong couldn't help it, and even his voice had a hint of indignation.

Perhaps it was because in the process of describing, Gu Mingrong thought of the depressed mood in Gu Yan's study again, the expression on her face became more and more ugly, and she even gritted her teeth a little at the end of the story.

At the end, Gu Mingrong couldn't help complaining as she thought about it more and more and became angrier:

"I think he might as well just die of illness when he was in the ancestral hall..."

Gu Yanshu is the legitimate son of the Hou family after all, and also Gu Mingrong's elder brother, no matter in terms of status or age, Gu Mingrong shouldn't have said such a thing.

If this word gets out, it will not only damage Gu Mingrong's reputation, but may even affect Gu Mingrong's marriage.

Aunt Chang understood this better than anyone else, the smile on her face finally disappeared, her face sank slightly, and she cut off Gu Mingrong's words with a slightly serious tone:

"That's enough! The more you say it, the more you don't look like it. How can such a thing be said by a lady?"

After being reprimanded, Gu Mingrong's rationality returned a little bit, and she also realized that she had spoken without restraint just now, so she hurriedly tried to make up for it in a low voice:

"I... I know I was wrong, I was just too angry just now."

"My aunt knows all about it, but no matter how angry she is, she can't say anything."

How could Aunt Chang not know her daughter's temperament?The tone is neither light nor heavy, pointing out:

"This is in Auntie's yard. If you have something to say, you will say it, but you must not do this outside, you understand?"

"Of course this daughter knows, she only does this when she's here with Auntie, not outside! And there's Tingqin here, Auntie, don't worry."

As soon as she heard Aunt Chang's tone, Gu Mingrong knew that Aunt Chang didn't mean to really blame her, so she quickly pulled Aunt Chang's sleeve and acted softly.

The Tingqin next to Gu Mingrong was chosen by Aunt Chang herself from many little girls.

At that time, Tingqin's cautious and steady temperament was what he liked, which just complemented Gu Mingrong's impulsiveness.

Not only that, Aunt Chang also brought Tingqin with her and taught her for more than half a year before sending her to Gu Mingrong.

So for listening to the piano, Aunt Chang can be said to be very at ease.

Originally, Aunt Chang didn't want to blame Gu Mingrong too much. Now that she heard Gu Mingrong's words and looked at her daughter's soft-spoken and coquettish appearance, she no longer wanted to preach. In the end, she just nodded to Gu Mingrong helplessly:

"You're good to know."

"I know!" Upon hearing Aunt Chang's tone, Gu Mingrong knew that this matter was over, she quickly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and then seemed to think of something, "Auntie told me to come here For asking this?"

"What do you think?" Aunt Chang glanced at Gu Mingrong, her tone seemed a little doting, "Who has been staying in her yard today and is unwilling to go out? Of course I want to ask who made my precious daughter unhappy .”

"I knew that my aunt was the best for me!" Gu Mingrong, who was still a little unhappy in her heart, now the last bit of unhappiness disappeared, hugging Aunt Chang's arm, her face was full of smiles.

"Okay, I know how to act like a baby every day!" Although she said this, it is not difficult to see from the smile on Aunt Chang's face that she likes Gu Mingrong's tricks.

"No way!" Gu Mingrong said no, but the hand holding Aunt Chang's arm tightened honestly.

Chang Xinya also liked her daughter's dependence very much, and then had a sweet whisper with Gu Mingrong for a while.

It wasn't until it was getting late and it was time for Chang Xinya to deal with the affairs of the house every day that Gu Mingrong reluctantly got up and prepared to leave.

"Then aunt let Feiluan take you back first." Gu Mingrong stood up and said goodbye, but Chang Xinya didn't want to keep her. She called the big maid beside her, and then said to Gu Mingrong, "Stay here to listen to the piano. My aunt has something to ask." ask her."

In the past, Chang Xinya would call the maid who was serving Gu Mingrong over from time to time to ask questions, and Gu Mingrong had long been accustomed to this, so she nodded without thinking:

"My daughter knows."

Afterwards, he left with Fei Luan who was beside Aunt Chang.

Regarding the fact that he would be left behind for questioning, Tingqin had a certainty in his mind when he heard the little girl say that Aunt Chang called her to go over, so now she is not surprised at all.

Tingqin could even guess that he was left behind, probably because of the incident in the fourth young master's yard.

Sure enough, just after Tingqin saluted Chang Xinya, she heard Chang Xinya's question:

"Rong'er's temperament has always been a little sloppy, and it's good to be able to say one of the three sentences correctly. Now tell me, what's wrong with what the third lady said just now?"

"What happened is roughly what the third lady said. At that time..."

Compared with Gu Mingrong, Tingqin's description lacks those embellishments, making it more objective.

In addition, Tingqin is more careful than Gu Mingrong, so I added some details that Gu Mingrong didn't mention.

Following Tingqin's description, Chang Xinya's expression gradually became serious, and her eyes became more serious.

After listening to Qin, Chang Xinya didn't speak immediately, her face was calm, as if she was deep in thought.

Aunt Chang didn't speak, so naturally she didn't dare to speak when listening to the piano, so she could only stand quietly aside, waiting for Aunt Chang's orders.

For a while, the room became quiet, and even the sound of listening to the piano's breathing slowed down a lot.

Just when Tingqin was thinking about how long this situation would last, Fei Luan, who was going to send Gu Mingrong back to the yard, came in from the door, breaking the tranquility of the house:

"Auntie."

"came back?"

Chang Xinya nodded slightly, indicating that she knew, and then looked at Tingqin standing aside:

"I know everything. Rong'er is like this. She speaks without restraint. You did a good job today. Don't forget to remind Miss San like this in the future."

"Yes." Hearing Qin's words, she quickly lowered her head and answered yes.

"Also, the fourth young master's body hasn't fully recovered recently, you should pay attention, don't let the third lady go to the fourth young master's yard during this period of time."

Aunt Chang nodded slightly, and gave Tingqin instructions softly.

Although Aunt Chang's tone is very gentle, but Aunt Chang taught and tuned the piano by herself, so how could she not hear the seriousness and seriousness in Aunt Chang's tone at this time?

Hastily nodded:

"The servant knows."

"Okay, I've already said what needs to be said, Rong'er can't leave you now, go back."

Seeing that Tingqin understood what she meant, Aunt Chang nodded in satisfaction.

As she said that, Aunt Chang gave Fei Luan a wink at the side.

Seeing this, Feiluan took out a finely crafted silver hairpin from a makeup box placed aside, and handed it to the listener:

"Auntie rewarded you."

"Thank you, Aunt Chang, for the reward. The servant will leave." Ting Qin reached out to take the hairpin, and did not stay in Aunt Chang's room, turned around and left.

After Tingqin left, Feiluan thought about the abnormal atmosphere in the room when she just came back, walked slowly to Aunt Chang's side, and asked softly:

"Auntie, what's wrong?"

"That Gu Yanshu seems to have become a little difficult to deal with." Aunt Chang narrowed her eyes, her face a little ugly.

Just now in Gu Yanshu's yard, watching his various performances, Aunt Chang had this feeling, but she was not sure.

But now after hearing Gu Mingrong and Tingqin's description, Aunt Chang is sure.

For some unknown reason, Gu Yanshu has become a lot smarter.

"Auntie is worried about this?"

Fei Luan was a little surprised, after all, Aunt Chang had never paid attention to Gu Yanshu before.

It's not that Feiluan looks down on Gu Yanshu, it's just that Gu Yanshu grew up under Chang Xinya's lap, and has been deliberately raised and disabled long ago.

Even though it was true from Gu Mingrong's description that Gu Yanshu had become a little different, Fei Luan felt that it was not enough to worry Chang Xinya.

"That's not true. The main reason is that today he asked Master Hou a question..."

As Chang Xinya said, she recounted Gu Yanshu's performance in front of Gu Hongji today, and after talking about it, Chang Xinya's face became a little ugly:

"Looking at Lord Hou's appearance, I'm afraid he wants to investigate thoroughly."

Things are just as Gu Yanshu thought, the emperor will not ask an unknown person's horoscope for no reason, nor will he match a man and the third prince's horoscope on a whim, all of these are fueled by someone behind the scenes.

In the backyard of Marquis Cheng'en's mansion, the person who contributed to the flames was Chang Xinya, and Chang Xinya also said Gu Yanshu's horoscope.

Apart from Gu Mingrong's own daughter, Aunt Chang also has a son, and that is the second young master of the Hou Mansion, Gu Yanzhou.

Compared with other young masters in the Marquis Mansion, Chang Xinya naturally hopes that her son can inherit the Marquis of Cheng En's Mansion.

But Tianqi pays special attention to the difference between concubine and concubine. As long as there are still prostitutes in Cheng'en Marquis's residence, it is impossible for the concubine to inherit the title.

In order to pave the way for her son, Aunt Chang naturally wanted to remove all obstacles in the Hou Mansion, and Gu Yanshu was one of the obstacles.

At that time, Chang Xinya relied on herself to control the backyard of the Hou Mansion, and did not cover up her work, so this matter could not withstand scrutiny at all.

Now thinking of Gu Hongji's angry appearance at the end, how could Chang Xinya not be worried?
