Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 75 Full of lies
Gu Zhao soon got the news that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were coming to Kyoto, and the next day he brought the Duke of Guo to visit him personally.

Father Lin and Mother Lin were naturally surprised.

When Liang Yuqi came to propose marriage at that time, except for meeting them once during the initial matchmaking, he never showed his face again.

Even for weddings, housekeepers were sent there.

Comparing the two, it can be seen that the Gu family attaches great importance to this marriage.

Lin Miaofu didn't know what kind of methods Gu Zhao used to make the Duke willing to come forward.

Worried that the scene would become ugly, I took Xiaolian with me and waited near the flower hall. He sent a little maid to find out the news. If something happened there, she would come back and tell him immediately so that she could go and make amends.

However, Lin Miaofu was unexpected.

The Duke of Guo was unusually cooperative.

Although her expression was a little stiff, she still exchanged a few words with Father Lin and Mother Lin, and settled on the specific details of the wedding date. After that, they could just wait for the wedding date and complete the wedding ceremony.

Lin Miaofu breathed a sigh of relief during dinner in the evening. My parents talked about it.

"I didn't expect the Duke to be so approachable."

Lin Miaofu broke out in cold sweat while her parents were talking.

Gu Xicheng and Gu Zhao were at odds with each other, so Lin Miaofu couldn't tell her parents directly about this matter.

But he didn't want them to think that the Duke of Guo was a good person, so he said, "Mom, you can't just look at people by their appearance. The Duke of Guo seemed to have a good appearance, but when Mrs. Jiang died of illness, he left the mess in the Duke of Guo's mansion alone. Regardless, the servants and wives were allowed to escape with their money, and unknown persons infiltrated the Duke's mansion... If the prince hadn't gone back to take charge of the overall situation, I'm afraid what would have happened to the family!"

"A son doesn't say anything about his father's faults. You, an unmarried daughter-in-law, are just talking about the rights and wrongs of your elders."

Father Lin said coldly: "If you act like this, others will only say that our Lin family did not educate our daughter well."

"Okay, please stop saying a few words." Mother Lin said, "It's just gossip among my own family. How can you be so serious?"

"Just get used to it." Father Lin said angrily: "She dares to make her own decision and reconcile with others! There is nothing wrong with discussing the rights and wrongs of her parents and brothers!"

"Yes, then what other opinions do you have!"

Father Lin was immediately speechless and could only sulk to himself.

"Okay, there are so many delicious things, I can't stop your mouth." Mother Lin seemed to have a gentle temper, but she loved her daughter the most.

Father Lin loved his wife very much and couldn't bear to see her being wronged. Even if she was making unreasonable troubles, he would suffer silently.

"I feel a lot more at peace after meeting Prince Gu today." Father Lin tried to lighten the atmosphere on the court and abruptly changed the topic: "There are rumors outside that he killed his own bodyguard in cold blood. He found some excuse to kill his own bodyguard. Yes, and are they neatly piled up at the door for passers-by to see?"

"At that time, I felt that this uncle was not good enough."

"But judging from his words and behavior today, those rumors are not entirely true."

"It's natural." Lin Miaofu immediately supported: "Didn't I say it? After Mrs. Jiang's death, the Duke of the country listened to one side of the story and made the entire country's uniform a mess, and some thieves took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the country. In the palace."

"Some are pretending to be guards at home, or servants, and some are runaway slaves... If it's a story, there is no need to use thunder to scare them. I'm afraid the entire Duke's palace will become the laughing stock of everyone."

Lin Qiyuan ate in silence, feeling that these words were very boring.

Is it true that my sister defends Gu Zhao so much and doesn't hesitate to lie to her parents just because she is worried about her parents?

He didn't think so.

I'm afraid there are other reasons that they themselves don't know.

"Okay, okay, don't say this, it sounds scary." Lin's mother looked at Lin Miaofu strangely and said: "Why did you come to Kyoto? Your courage has become bigger. This fight and killing I'll kill you when you talk about it...without blinking an eye." He used a joking tone, but there were still a few tears in his eyes.

Lin Miaofu slowly lowered her eyelids and said: "Perhaps, she is used to seeing it... This Kyoto is like a big dye vat, with pure white silky cloth put in it, who can tell that she was originally what colour?"

Mother Lin's nose felt sore, and her tears flowed down again. He hurriedly wiped them with his hands, forced a smile and said, "This is all over. From now on, mother will never be alone with you!"

The neglected father and son looked at each other and felt a little sad.

In the afternoon, Gu Zhao sent someone to deliver something to Lin Miaofu, saying that it was for Lin Miaofu to add to her dowry.

The Lin family was happily preparing for the wedding.

Mother Lin was determined to make the wedding more lively than the last time.

Liang Yuqi was so distressed that he looked a little haggard.

He sat slumped in the study, with his aide Mr. Tan in front of him. The two of them couldn't find out who he had offended after spending a whole day together.

Liang Yuqi thought he could check on Gu Zhao and Lin Miaofu.

But the person who died was his old servant.

According to Mr. Tan's meaning, it is better to be still than to move.

If Liang Yuqi was just left to be alone, there would be nothing wrong with him.

But seeing that the new year is approaching, if the wine shop cannot be opened, all the orders received before will be cancelled.

"Why don't I find some connections and go visit Mr. Fu Yin to find out whose instructions he has to target us."

"Will he say it?"

"According to the current situation, something should be revealed." Mr. Tan said with stern eyes: "After all, if this matter is resolved, it is a matter within our house and will be detrimental to your reputation. But they are ambiguous. On the contrary, it makes me feel that they are just waiting for us to go to them and ask for a message."

"As long as you know what they are trying to do, there will be an explanation."

"I understand what you mean." Liang Yuqi nodded and asked Mr. Tan to go to the accountant to pay the money, while he waited for the news at home.

Mr. Tan did not shirk and went to do it immediately.

Wan Niang was carrying the food box and happened to meet Mr. Tan at the door. Mr. Tan bowed respectfully to Wan Niang and then hurried away.

Wan Niang came to plead guilty to Liang Yuqi.

After much thought, she decided to tell Liang Yuqi about Grandma Jin.

"Master Hou, it's me."

Wan Niang stood respectfully at the door, as if she didn't dare to enter without Liang Yuqi's instructions.

Liang Yuqi personally greeted him at the door and said, "Why do you still need me to pick you up if you just came in?"

"I feel guilty and dare not come in."

As he spoke, his face looked sad, looking miserable and plaintive.

Liang Yuqi hated seeing her like this the most, so he held her in his arms and said softly: "Why are you guilty? That old woman was dissatisfied and framed her for the fault. You must not blame yourself!"
