Splendid spring returns

Chapter 157

Concubine Liao knew her son too well, and knew that Gu Changting was extremely suspicious. For a moment, she felt confused, and she was so guilty that she didn't dare to look her son in the eyes. She just said, "I...I am also confused by your anger. Can you easily say such things as pampering your concubine and destroying your wife? You...you don't know how much it will hurt your mother's heart, your cousin..."

"If I remember correctly, my cousin has been in charge of the warehouse all these years, right? Even when Feng Rong was alive, she was weak and never touched the warehouse."

"You...what do you want to say?"

Concubine Liao couldn't help taking two steps back, and immediately felt ashamed, she couldn't help looking at Gu Changting and said angrily, "What do you want to say?"

"It's nothing. Mother, take a good rest. I'll go to the warehouse to pick out gifts for the Dragon Boat Festival for Niannian."

Gu Changting smiled slightly, and did not go forward to press Concubine Liao anymore. After saluting, he turned and went out.

"You...you come back."

Concubine Liao fell down on the couch and cried out weakly.Seeing her son walking away without looking back, she couldn't help but fell headfirst on the soft pillow, beat the wooden couch and cried, "What crime did I do? How did I give birth to such a rebellious thing?"

"It's important for the concubine to take care of herself. Don't be angry and sad. The prince has always been filial. Today he is just a momentary..."

Mrs. Qian hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, but the next moment, Concubine Liao sat up with a "huh", gritted her teeth and said, "That's right, Chang Ting has always been filial, why has it become like this now? Look, it's just for the Dragon Boat Festival, and this is what happened. Mrs. Xin, they are all bitches like Mrs. Xin. I was so filial to my son, but she was instigated to ruin her. I...I wish I could cut her into pieces..."

Qian Shi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Taufei, you can't say this, let the prince hear. If anything happens to the Xin family in the future, wouldn't the prince be suspicious of you? It's really not worth it to hurt the relationship between mother and child for such a bitch."

Concubine Liao caressed her chest, gasping for breath, but she was kind and did not dare to say more.

The room fell silent for a moment, and after a long while, Concubine Liao asked Qian: "In your opinion, is that scoundrel going to check the warehouse? What he said to me just now clearly aroused suspicion."

"Check it out. It's been so many years. Where can I find many old and bad debts? Even if the prince finds out that the concubine and grandma have indeed sent some things to the Liao family, it is his maternal ancestor's house after all. The concubine and he complained about the difficulties of the Liao family. How can the prince be serious?"

Concubine Liao blushed, coughed and said: "Theoretically, the royal family has a lot of income and a little out, so it's okay to help the Liao family. I'm afraid that this evil person will make use of it and won't let it go."

Qian said with a smile: "If the prince really doesn't care about the love between mother and child, the concubine should not care about her face. With your status, you can't do such things as crying, making trouble, and hanging yourself, but because you are worried about getting sick and being bedridden, isn't that normal? The old slave doesn't believe it. The prince really has the heart to force you to death?"

"Hmm." Concubine Liao nodded, "It's you who is on the sidelines, that makes sense."

After speaking, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the Dragon Boat Festival gift from the palace on the table, Concubine Liao felt bored, and waved her hand: "Hurry up and get everyone to take it. Really, it's all caused by these things. My sister is also, she only cares about supporting Jiaru, but she doesn't think about it. This is Prince Duan's mansion, not the palace. She has the final say, but in the end it caused such a disturbance, which made me burn out here."

"Hey! The empress is also kind. Who would have thought that our prince would love the Xin family so much."

Mrs. Qian hurriedly called the little girls to come in, and cleaned up a table full of things.When she went out here to look at the sky, she saw a few dark clouds floating in all directions, and her heart sank.

*****************
"I'm just sorry for you. Our empress is too stingy. As the saying goes, if you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, she will not like you anymore. Anyway, she has to pretend to take care of the prince's face. What is this now?"

The windows of the outer room were all open, and gusts of wind rolled up the gauze curtains, rustling them.

Xin Nian and Aunt Gu were sitting opposite each other on the couch, entwined with a coil of silk thread. When Aunt Gu complained, she smiled and said, "Okay, I haven't said anything yet, but you complained a lot. What's the matter? Because I got you in trouble and you didn't get the red bead bracelet, so you feel uncomfortable?"

"Isn't it just a string of beads? Although I'm humble, I don't think so. Thanks to you this year, my lord has rewarded me with two boxes of jewelry. Which one is better than this bracelet? I'm just apologizing for you, and I'm still the empress, with such a narrow mind."

Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something again, and quickly asked: "By the way, I think the Four Treasures of the Study that the Eldest and Fourth Young Masters got are all treasures. Brother Chen is nothing more. He is not a material for reading. I think rewarding him with a knife, gun, stick and stick is more fun than rewarding him with a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. But the Third Young Master is different. He has seen good things at Aunt Feng's before. Now that he is staying here with you, he does not have his share in the Four Treasures of the Study. I don't know what he will think."

"Look at you, you are not as good as a child."

Xin Nian lowered his eyes and smiled and said, "Don't worry, when I came back from school last night, Brother Feng saw the gifts from the empress, and shared them with Liu Zai Yaya for a long time. I said that what they got was simple, far inferior to that of the eldest master, fourth master, and fifth master. Brother Feng also comforted me by saying that it is better to rely on oneself than others. Rewards from the palace are big and small. Just get it. If you really want something good, you have to earn it yourself. When I got up this morning, I think he has already used those pens and ink." gone."

"Brother Feng is indeed sensible."

Aunt Gu nodded, seeing that Xin Nian didn't care about it, she also felt a little calm, because she smiled again: "I met Grandma and Aunt Qiu in the garden yesterday, guess what they said?"

"Oh? From what you said, they probably chewed my tongue again, but I don't know what I did wrong. In grandma's eyes?"

Aunt Gu smiled and said: "I heard them say, you are always pleasing the master, you just went outside the second gate earlier, why did you bring the third girl with you? There are several moves in the Changfeng Pavilion, what do people see? I thought our girls were not well-bred."

Xin Nian sneered and said: "According to their upbringing, the living are also raised to death. Never mind her, anyway, the prince was there at the time, and the prince didn't say anything."

"That's right, they are obviously jealous of you, otherwise why don't they try to please the prince, don't they want to? Isn't the prince bored when he sees them."

Xin Nian thought that even the Liao family and the others didn't spread gossip about Gu Yunxiang, so it can be seen that the secret matchmaking was done confidentially.After thinking about it, isn't it a secret? Only Gu Changting and himself, Aunt Qin and his daughter know, which of these four people will spread the word?
