Chapter 11 I Didn't Be Presumptuous Recently

He is powerful and powerful, if the Gu family has a daughter who becomes the crown princess, she will not be far away from destroying the family.

Both His Majesty and Empress are not stupid, if they had taken a fancy to the sisters in the family, they would not have made him Marquis of Zhenbei back then.

Things in this world can't have the best of both worlds. When weighing the pros and cons, there must be something to give.

"If grandma called me here for this matter, then I have already expressed my attitude. If there is nothing else, I will go back first."

As he spoke, he was about to get up and leave, but the old lady slammed the table down angrily, "Gu Tingshu, I see that you have become more and more arrogant recently, and you don't even listen to your grandmother."

All of these things have gone against her will, if this continues, what majesty does she still have in the mansion?
"Grandma was joking, I'm not just being presumptuous recently, I've always been like this."

After saying this, he ignored the astonishment in the room, raised his cloak and walked out.

The old lady was out of breath, picked up the teacup in hand and threw it at him.

The sound of breaking through the air was harsh, and before everyone could react, the teacup was split open by a sword, the brown tea scattered all over the floor, and the falling cup was also broken.

Eleven withdrew his sword, retreated behind the door, and lifted the curtain for Gu Tingshu.

"If grandma wants to spend her old age in peace, she should stay in her own yard in peace. Next time, I can't guarantee where this cup will fall."

There was a blatant threat in the words, which was clearly a crime of disobedience, but no one dared to speak out, even the old lady couldn't breathe under his hostile eyes.

The suffocating atmosphere in the hall was relieved only after the lifted curtain returned to its original state.

The little maids hid in the corner, opened their mouths to let out a little breath, glanced at each other secretly, and understood the fear in each other's eyes.

Although the old lady and the young master had been at loggerheads for a long time, they had never been so tense. The young master's words were like sharp knives, and the old lady was almost stabbed to death.

It seems that the Hou Mansion is really going to change this day.

Gu Changrong lowered his head and counted his fingers over and over again, as if he didn't see what happened in the house, and he didn't even look up when the old lady threw a string of beads on her.

"Gu Changrong, look at this is the good son of Guangzong Yaozu you said. I'm not dead yet, and I'm no longer in his eyes."

"If you let it go like this, will he still be able to protect the Gu family after you have lived for a hundred years?"

As for the matter of the crown princess, I originally thought that it would not happen if it was not possible, but now looking at it, it must be done.

Gu Tingshu's determination is unreliable, and the crumbling Hou Mansion must find the most secure backer.

Glancing at her silent son, the old lady slammed down the table again angrily.

If he fights a little bit, how can the Hou Mansion allow her to be supported by a girl.

"He is indeed a glorious ancestor. The disrespect to you is not because you rubbed his mother to death."

Come again and again.

Every time he talked about this, he always brought up the dead person to talk about. Because of this, how much has she been angry over the years?
"Get out, useless thing, get out of here!!"

After being scolded for a long time, Gu Changrong wanted to leave a long time ago, but now that the old lady opened her mouth, he dragged Mo Shi away, as if there was a scourge behind him, and he even forgot to salute.

Seeing him like this, the old lady was furious again, this rebellious son really followed his father.

Mammy Xu served another cup of tea, and said a few words of relief, seeing that the old lady couldn't listen, she stopped trying to persuade her again.

"Go and call Qingning over, I have something to tell her."

"By the way, don't let the second girl come with her, she doesn't have a gatekeeper, I'm annoyed."

The little maid went away, and the old lady leaned on the chair and sighed a long time.

If she had known this earlier, she shouldn't have allowed Chen to marry in back then. She had found a strong in-law for Rong'er back then, and now she wouldn't have such a headache.

After serving for decades, Mother Xu knew what the old lady was thinking just by looking at her expression, but she didn't say anything on her face, she just walked behind the old lady and rubbed her temples for her.

After leaving Furongyuan, a peregrine falcon swooped towards him. Gu Tingshu kept walking, and Eleven raised his hand.

The peregrine falcon landed firmly on the scabbard, Gu Tingshu pulled out the bamboo tube tied to its feet, took it with his hand and put it on his shoulder.

There were only a few numbers, and they were all read in a blink of an eye. Gu Tingshu destroyed the note, turned around, "Enter the palace!"

What happened in Furongyuan could never be heard by Qing Zhu Xiaozhu, Shen Qiqi craned her neck to watch for a long time, finally turned off the light and went to sleep under the urging of He Nanny.

Maybe she slept for too long at noon, she didn't feel sleepy, and couldn't calm down after tossing and turning.

Jin Bao quietly touched the head of the bed, and lightly touched her shoulder.

Shen Qiqi was taken aback, and the exclamation she was about to utter was covered with one hand.

"Girl, I'm Jin Bao."

A slightly embarrassed voice sounded, Shen Qiqi heaved a sigh of relief, and patted the hand covering her mouth.

"Why are you still not sleeping?"

"The girl hasn't slept yet, so the servant girl can't sleep naturally."

"Is the girl unable to sleep?"

Shen Qiqi said "hmm", and sat up with her hands propped up. After turning off the lights, she couldn't see clearly, so she could only try to open her eyes wide.

Her eyes were not small in the first place, but when she tried to widen them, she looked like a round grape. Jin Bao smiled "hee hee" and followed her example.

"I can't sleep. Go and see if Mammy is asleep. Let's get up and make tea secretly, shall we?"

Jin Bao didn't know what to drink when the tea was boiled, he only knew how to listen to the girl, so she did what Shen Qiqi said.

She went out quietly and came back quietly, and Yin Bao followed in when the lamp was lit, and the two of them were together at this moment, smiling as if they had succeeded in stealing food.

Shen Qiqi ordered them to put things in order, and just as she was about to get out of bed, Jin Bao picked her up.

She let out a small exclamation, and only let out an "ah" when she was placed firmly on the soft couch.

He obviously doesn't look very strong, so why is he so strong?

Facing Shen Qiqi's curious scrutiny, Jin Bao smiled embarrassedly, "Don't blame the girl, this servant was trained by holding firewood when I was a child."

The girls in the country, except those who are about to get married, all have to help with the work. Although her father loves her daughter, the family conditions are not so good that they can keep their fingers off the hook.

There are not many heavy jobs at home, but carrying water and chopping firewood is also necessary. After a long time, she has developed all her strength.

"Girl, shall I take out all the snacks?"

Yinbao lit the stove and put it beside the soft couch, added a few pieces of charcoal into it, and then got up to ask.

The best silver bone charcoal, ignites without smoke, burns for a long time, and the old lady in the house can't use it, so she was sent several large baskets here.

Seeing the faint flames shining from the stove, Shen Qiqi was in a daze.

If she hadn't held on to her cousin's cloak at that time, if he hadn't stopped, what would she be like now?
