Chapter 83 The Cruel Gu Long

Hearing that her granddaughter's tone did not sound like she was being forced, Mrs. Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

She asked her granddaughter to put away the jade pendant, and took her hand and stroked it gently. After a while, she let out another long sigh.

Xue Ruzhen looked at her grandmother who was getting older beside her and frowned slightly and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you? What's bothering you?"

Mrs. Xue hugged her granddaughter and hesitated for a while, thinking that since her granddaughter has already decided, she will definitely marry into the royal family without any accidents. I'm afraid that you will have a hard time entering the royal family for the first time..."

Qin Shuhuang's status is noble, but he was hijacked by the Gu family. On a day like today, Madam Gu dared to come and bite her. It can be seen that Qin Shuhuang's affairs with the Gu family have not been sorted out, let alone helping the emperor.

The emperor was suppressed by the regent. He was still in power at a young age. Everyone could see that the regent did not want to return the throne. The emperor's only half-siblings were the eldest princess. If the eldest princess was still trapped in the Gu family at this time, she would not stand up. As the emperor's right-hand man, how can his granddaughter live a good life after entering the palace?

I am afraid that I will fall into a terrible palace fight and become a victim accidentally.

How can the old lady not be worried if she is well-informed.

Xue Ruzhen is smart and understands her grandmother very well. She already knew her grandmother's worries just halfway through what she said.

Instead of frowning, she smiled generously, "Grandma, who gave me the list for your selection as a female officer?"

Although she has the idea of ​​becoming a female official, the Xue family has been away from the court for five or six years. As time goes by, the old relationship has gradually faded away. Even if her grandmother can go out of her way to find a chance for herself to enter the palace and become a female official, But she couldn't get the newly released list of female officials so quickly.

One must know that it took her half a month to ask someone to inquire about the selection of the female officials in the palace.

Since it wasn't the information she asked for, how could the information be delivered to her so quickly at a specific time?
Through today's events, Xue Ruzhen was quickly determined to be the eldest princess Qin Shuhuang.

Before what happened today, His Highness had already expected that Mrs. Gu would come to cause trouble, so he made arrangements in advance.

At the same time, it was also a test for her.

Can such a wise and resourceful Princess really not be able to become the Emperor's right-hand man?
Mrs. Xue listened to her granddaughter's explanation, and her frown slowly relaxed.

She patted her granddaughter's hand, "Since that's the case, if you really enter the palace, you will treat Her Royal Highness the same way the Emperor treats Her Royal Highness, remember?"

Xue Ruzhen had the coquettish attitude of a young daughter of her age in front of Mrs. Xue. She hugged Mrs. Xue's arm and acted like a baby, "In the eyes of my grandmother, I am so ignorant! Even if the marriage fails, Her Royal Highness the Princess is still mine. One cannot be unfaithful to a savior."

Today's trip to the Princess's Mansion relieved a big knot in Mrs. Xue's heart. Thinking of Mrs. Gu who she met when she left in the evening, she was angrily, "The Gu family has their own fault today!"

After the carriage of Duke Rongguo traveled a certain distance, Du Qinglin jumped on the carriage.

When his mother goes out, Du Qinglin always rides beside the carriage to guard, and rarely rides with his mother.

As soon as he entered the carriage, Mrs. Rongguo knew that her son had something to say to her.

After learning that her son and Xu Siyuan were in love, Mrs. Rong Guo angrily "hammered" her son.

Du Qinglin sat beside his mother and let her vent.

My mother has been in poor health. There is no strength in her fists. His skin is rough and fleshy, and he doesn't hurt or itch.

Mrs. Rong Guo punched her a few times and found that her son was not moving at all. She gasped angrily and asked angrily: "Does the Emperor know?"

Du Qinglin scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "My son is emotionally confused, and it was my cousin who reminded him."

Mrs. Rong Guo looked carefully at her son's face, seeing her son shy, and hearing the change in his son's address to Qin Shumin, she was pleasantly surprised again.

In the past, he was worried that his son was getting further and further away from the Shuhuang siblings. Now, the relationship between the three of them is back to what it was before, and she can breathe a sigh of relief.

"In this case, the most important thing is to be sincere! Brat, you are my son. If I have something good, will I give it to others first?"

When she said this, Mrs. Rongguo felt a sense of sadness in her heart. Although she had a good relationship with her son, Du Qinglin was only her adopted son after all. Du Qinglin felt very sad for herself. Although mother and son were close, they were not as close as their biological mother and son. No scruples.

When Du Qinglin saw his mother nodding, he was overjoyed.

Mrs. Rongguo warned, "Siyuan is a good boy. Since you two are in love, you must treat her well in the future and never let her down."

"Mother, don't worry, you don't understand what kind of temper your son has!"

"Stinky boy!"

For some reason, with just a few conversations in the carriage today, Mrs. Rong Guo felt that the distance between herself and her son was one step closer.

Mrs. Gu panicked and asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, but at this time the Ministry of Rites had already left the yamen, so there were no one else there.

Mrs. Gu twisted the veil, "Where can I find out the news at this time?"

Mother Ge hurriedly said: "It's so late, Madam, why don't you go back to the house first, tell the young master or master the news, and ask them to inquire tomorrow. It's better for a man to come forward than a woman."

"No! I don't know that my daughter has become a female official, and when outsiders find out, they still laugh out loud! I doubt that I, the aunt, have treated the illegitimate daughter harshly."

Mother Ge glanced at Mrs. Gu, lowered her head and whispered: "Madam, I know a place where I can find out the news, but if I want to know it right away, I'm afraid it will cost me some money..."

Mrs. Gu gave Ge Momo a sideways look, "How much money?"

"A message costs at least 100 taels..."

Mrs. Gu had just spent all her body and soul to make up for Qin Shuhuang's shortfall in dowry, and there was not much left. The 100 taels immediately made her feel painful, but she had no other choice but to grit her teeth and agree, and took it. Silver, let her buy news.

Not long after Mrs. Gu returned home, Grandma Ge also came back from the side door.

She brought back this year's list of female officers, and Gu Yuling's name was indeed on it!

Mrs. Gu was clutching the list in a daze when Gu Long rushed in suddenly.

As soon as Gu Long came in, he questioned Mrs. Gu, "Where is Yu Ling? Can you bring it back?"

Mrs. Gu was immediately speechless and did not dare to look at her husband.

Under Gu Long's questioning, Mrs. Gu was helpless and told Gu Yuling about becoming a female official.

Gu Long angrily smashed all the teacups on the table to the ground.

He had already agreed to send his daughter to the regent, and General Liu had already helped him pull the strings. If he didn't send his daughter, wouldn't he have offended both General Liu and the regent?
After offending the most powerful person in Dawu, the Gu family may no longer want to hang out in the capital!
Seeing that her husband was angry, Mrs. Gu carefully walked to her husband to comfort her, "Husband, Yuling is already a female official and has been listed in the palace. The marriage is no longer up to us. If that person likes Yuling, why don't we spend a lot of money to buy one and let him have it?" She recognized us as parents."

"Nonsense!" Gu Long pushed Mrs. Gu away.

If this was possible, then why did he plan to give his daughter to the regent, and those shady women were not insulting him.

Gu Long sat aside with a sullen face, and Mrs. Gu did not dare to say anything more.

After a while, Gu Long suddenly stood up and said, "If it's not possible, I'll send Yu Fei to the Prince Regent's Mansion."
