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

Chapter 79 A visit
Although this tone was very gentle, it carried a determination that could not be refused.

Gu Sheng's eyes were filled with disappointment, and he could only lower his head and promise, but he did not dare to resist. It seemed that he knew that he was not qualified to say anything now.

There is an invisible wall between the two brothers.

Gu Sheng can no longer act coquettishly around his brother like before.

He decided to leave dejectedly.

Gu Zhao only brought the tea and drank it slowly without saying a word of instruction.

Gu Xicheng took Gu Sheng to live in the upper courtyard. When Gu Zhao came back, he asked him if he wanted to live with him or create a separate courtyard for him.

But he just looked at himself and his father timidly, without saying anything.

After Gu Sheng left, Gu Zhao found Mr. Xie.

"Sir, I want my mother's dowry back."

Xie Guang said: "The Duke is in his prime, and I'm afraid he will renew his marriage. Logically speaking, you are now married, and Mrs. Jiang's dowry will naturally be divided between you and the second master."

At this point he hesitated to speak.

The problem is that Gu Sheng's identity is currently unknown.

"Only give him some cash and the shop. All other items belong to me." Gu Zhao turned the tea cup in his hand and said: "No matter whether he is the mother's child or not, he still grew up by her side. Give him more money. , which can be regarded as my compensation to him."

"Well, it's okay. The second master can't inherit the title, so he has to live alone. With more land in his hands, life will be easier in the future." Xie Guang stroked his beard and said slowly: "This matter I'm afraid I have to ask the elders of the Jiang family to come forward."

Gu Zhao said: "Grandma is old, so I can't let her continue to work on my affairs. Several uncles are in Yanzhou. After all, my aunt is a female family member, so it's not good to mention it to my father. What's more, my grandma's family is afraid that I don’t want to see my father. I think it would be more appropriate to ask my uncles and uncles to come forward."

Many Gongqing families had marriages. The old Duke of Guo married the Sun family at that time, and his brother Sun Xunming married the eldest princess of Changde, so the Gu family became in-laws with the Sun family.

"I think it's better to invite people from both sides to discuss the matter."

Xie Guangzhu was still a little hesitant. After all, Mrs. Jiang's natal family were still there, and they should take care of these matters.

Gu Zhao also knew that what Xie Guangzhu said was right, but he had done something wrong to the Jiang family.

She also felt ashamed to have a father like Gu Xicheng, and was speechless in front of the Jiang family.

"Your Majesty, some things must be explained clearly first, otherwise the estrangement will only become deeper." Xie Guang said: "Mrs. Mei is not an unreasonable person. I heard that she had made an appointment with Miss Lin to go to Yu." Qingguan seemed to be very satisfied with her and sent her back personally."

Gu Zhao was dumbfounded, but didn't know what to say.

"Mr. Xie, please help me prepare a gift. I'm going to visit my grandmother."

Gu Zhao naturally knew how reasonable his grandmother was.

But the more this happened, the more he felt that he owed them.

When Mrs. Mei received Gu Zhao's visit, she was surprised and hurriedly asked people to prepare his favorite food. She also said to Fang's mother who was waiting beside her: "Ah, I thought he would have to wait until he got married before turning around." Turning around, you can see that if you encounter trouble, you will still grow up."

Mrs. Mei sighed, but she didn't feel much sadness in her heart.

Mrs. Mei gave birth to five sons and one daughter in her life, but only three grew up. Both sons went to war, but Mrs. Chiang stayed with her to fulfill their filial piety.

However, after Mrs. Jiang gave birth to her second child, she suffered from a hemorrhagic collapse. Although she was rescued, her body suffered serious losses, and she had to take medicine to survive.

Mrs. Mei had long expected that she would die before her, so she didn't feel so sad.

Speaking of which, Mrs. Mei always said, "Children entrusted to the Jiang family are always pitiful." If they died, it would be considered a relief.

"The prince's temper is similar to that of a big girl. He is stubborn and accepts death..." Fang's mother was halfway through her words, but could not continue. Tears had fallen and she hurriedly wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Mrs. Mei's eyes were also red, but she did not shed tears.

"Okay, okay, please stop crying. It's hard for me to accept the news that Mei Zhi is dead. Now that you're crying, I can't help it... I'll see how you end it then!"

"It's all my fault. I just don't cry."

"By the way, go get the box containing the secret cards."

The Chiang family is prosperous, but the most promising generation is Duke Dingguo.

Among Gu Zhao's peers, there is no one who is better than him.

Fang's mother was Mrs. Mei's confidant. She knew what she meant as soon as she heard the words. She asked with some surprise: "Old lady, what do you mean..."

"Some things must be nipped in the bud." Mrs. Mei plated the beads in her hand and said: "In ancient times, there was a saying that a glass of wine releases military power. Nowadays, among the military attachés, my Jiang family is the most important... But I, the daughter of the Jiang family, There are questions about the cause of death, but there is no satisfactory answer. This can already be seen that our Jiang family is on the cusp of a storm."

"A wave hits us. If we can ride the wave head-on, we may be able to take another step forward, but if we are hit, we will be in a doomed situation."

Mrs. Mei's ability to live to this age is not only due to her good health and special emphasis on health preservation, but also because she has a heart to follow the Tao.

"My slave knows." Fang's mother looked tense and hurriedly went to get the box.

Gu Zhao also came with people to meet Mrs. Mei, and then asked with a little uneasiness: "Is grandma in good health? The house is in a mess during this time, and there are too many things to be busy with. You won't It’s your fault that I haven’t come to see you for so many days!”

"Hey, is it worth my concern if your family brings some bullshit to ruin the family?" Mrs. Mei said disdainfully: "With the way your father is, there's no need to expect him to do anything."

Fang's mother coughed lightly and said to Gu Zhao: "Old Madam, I haven't seen the crown prince for a long time. I really miss you!"

The son didn't say anything about his father's fault. Even if Gu Zhao felt ashamed of Gu Xicheng in his heart, he couldn't tell the truth in front of others.

The two exchanged pleasantries and joked for a few more times before Gu Zhao got down to his business.

Speaking of Gu Sheng, Mrs. Mei sighed again.

"When your mother was pregnant with her second child, the war in Yanzhou was intense, and your fourth uncle passed away on duty, so I didn't personally interfere with her childbirth. I just assumed that she had given birth before, and now that she has another child, she is already familiar with it. "

It was Gu Xicheng who arranged the whole thing in an orderly manner and was praised for quite a while.

Presumably, this was his deliberate arrangement, and there was naturally no loopholes.

"It would have been better if...if only I had been there." Every time Mrs. Mei thinks about it, she feels that she owes her daughter.
