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

Chapter 80 Past events

Gu Zhao also heard about this matter.

When my mother gave birth to Gu Sheng, news of her fourth uncle's death in the war coincided with the news. My grandmother was dealing with her uncle's funeral at home. She was afraid that some bad things in the family would offend her mother, so she didn't come to the Duke's Mansion to watch.

In addition, at that time, my mother and father were a loving couple in the eyes of outsiders.

Who would have thought that my father would hide such thoughts from his mother?
"Whether he is scheming or not, even if grandma is here, if he wants to do something, he can hide it from you."

"Your father was confused when he was young. When your mother was pregnant with you, he kept an outhouse outside. When the old Duke found out, he quietly dealt with this man. Later, he smuggled on the sea with others. If it weren't for you Uncle..."

Mrs. Mei sighed, feeling that talking about these past events was meaningless and made Gu Zhao unhappy, so she changed the topic and talked about Lin Miaofu.

"Forget it, let's not mention these disappointing things." Mrs. Mei said: "How are you preparing for your wedding?"

"The Queen sent the aunt in charge to supervise the process. I also arranged for Mr. Xie to help control the details. Everything is ready."

"I've seen that girl before." Mrs. Mei blinked at Gu Zhao, with a strong sense of ridicule in her eyes: "It shows that your mother still has eyesight. Although she misjudged your father, this daughter-in-law did not Find fault.”

Gu Zhaodao: "It's just a pity that mothers can see with their own eyes the daughter-in-law she chose."

His expression was indescribably lonely.

Mrs. Mei didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only respond with silence.

"Grandma, I'm here to ask you to come forward and help me negotiate with my father about dividing my mother's dowry."

In fact, Gu Zhao can go by himself, but Gu Xicheng can rely on the fact that he is the elder and has no plans to renew the relationship at the moment and forcefully refuse to return it.

"Don't worry, I will remember this matter." Mrs. Mei said, "Originally, after you got married, I took some of your aunts to come to him to tell him about this matter."

"He is no better than you." Mrs. Mei said, "The relationship can be renewed in a hundred days. If he wants to live in peace and find another woman, he will naturally have to give up something."

Gu Zhao nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, among the noble girls in the capital, who is suitable to be his stepmother?
According to Gu Xicheng's character, he naturally looked down upon women of lower family status.

If Gu Zhao wanted Lin Miaofu to take charge, he would have to go through some troubles.

I'm afraid her identity will still be criticized.

When he thought about this matter, Gu Zhao regretted it. If he had known her earlier, maybe the matter wouldn't have been so difficult.

But then he thought that she was born into a wealthy merchant family. If she hadn't been married to the Liang family, he wouldn't have known her.

After thinking about it, he still needed to take precautions and figure out Gu Xicheng's movements in advance... As long as he couldn't renew their relationship, his wife would naturally have to take charge.

Then Gu Zhao informed Mrs. Mei about his distribution of his mother's dowry, which was regarded as an exchange of anger with her.

"That's fine, regardless of whether Gu Sheng is here or not, we can make arrangements in the future."

Mrs. Mei nodded in agreement.

Gu Zhao finally solved the knot in his heart.

After all, although he was Gu Xicheng's son, he was also the grandson of the Jiang family. Mrs. Mei was willing to recognize him, which made him very happy, and the stone that was weighing on his heart seemed to be less heavy.

The two talked some more about the situation in Beijing, and while they were speculating, Jiang Feng hurriedly came in from the outside, bowed to the two people in the hall, and looked at Gu Zhao anxiously. Gu Zhao frowned subconsciously. Jiang Feng was his bodyguard and someone who had left the Jiang Mansion. Ordinary things would not make him panic like this.

Mrs. Mei lowered her head and drank her tea, pretending not to see it.

Jiang Feng immediately leaned down and whispered in Gu Zhao's ear: "Master, something happened. Miss Lin and Mrs. Lin's carriage was hijacked."

"What about people?"

"Miss Lin was taken away." Jiang Feng said: "The gangster drove all the way to other places."

Gu Zhao's eyes widened, and there was a moment of panic in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said, "How did Yuqingguan handle such a big thing? Did you guys send it out?"

"The two maids beside Mrs. Lin, one of whom is Su Su, Sang Ju are guarding Mrs. Lin. Our people only follow from a distance and mark the road."

Gu Zhao once sent two people to secretly protect Lin Miaofu's safety, but this time the arrival was too sudden and the opponent was so large that even if the two guards fought to the death, it would be difficult to rescue them.

One of them came back to report the news, and the other one fell behind the carriage and followed him from a distance. As long as he didn't lose his whereabouts, he could always wait for Gu Zhao's rescue if he delayed a moment or two.

"Send someone to rescue her immediately."

Gu Zhao glanced at Mrs. Mei and said with great apology: "Grandma, I'm really sorry. Something happened to Miss Lin. My grandson has to go see her. He can't stay for lunch today."

"Since something happened, you should go and have a look quickly, and be sure to bring the person back safely." Mrs. Mei was also very worried, and handed the box in her hand to Gu Zhao: "Keep these, I guess you can use them before My uncle also told you."

"If the matter is urgent, don't worry... I'm old, and you will have to take care of your aunts and cousins ​​in the future."

"Grandma...how did this happen?"

"Who can I leave it to if I don't leave it to you?"

Gu Zhao felt that the box in his hand weighed a thousand pounds.

Grandma actually put Jiang's life into her own hands.

He has to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Jiang family. Can he be up to the task?
"Why are you still standing there? Your fiancée has been kidnapped... This is a big deal! You can't let others underestimate you."

"Although I know what to do." Gu Zhao bowed respectfully and strode out of Jiang's house with the box in hand.

Jiang Feng was stunned. Although he didn't know what was in the box, he could see the pattern on the box.

He came out of that place, so why didn't he recognize the things of his old master?

Looking at Gu Zhao with a complicated expression, he couldn't help but feel a little sad. It seemed that those brothers and himself had reached the same destination through different paths.

"Don't let those people die." Gu Zhao said with sinister eyes: "I want to see who is so bold and dares to touch my wife who has never married me."

Lin Miaofu and Wen Susu were sitting in the carriage, comforting Xiaolian who was almost collapsed. In front of them sat a big man with a machete in his hand, looking at the three of them with a fierce look, as if they were fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. generally.

The carriage jolted from the pipeline to the path. The sky was getting darker and darker. Lin Miaofu finally thought about it and spoke: "This strong man, I have some money here and I will give it to you. Can you let us go?"
