Chapter 25
Father knelt on the ground straight, and Mrs. Ge was looking at him fiercely: "Fourth, you are promising and capable, don't take me as an old woman seriously. As a mother-in-law, I want to Teach your daughter-in-law a lesson, and you will protect her, right?"

When the father heard this, his expression became stiff, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he finally swallowed what he was going to say.

He lowered his head and kowtowed to Mrs. Ge on the ground: "My son dare not!"

"So you dare not disobey me!" Mrs. Ge said with a sneer, "I just think that you have forgotten who is in charge of the Qingyang Hou Mansion and who is in charge of the Gu family."

"Brother is the Marquis of Qingyang, old lady, you are the head of the family." The father's voice was very condensed, like a frozen river in winter: "Of course, the old lady has the final say on family affairs."

"It turns out that you still know that I am the head of the family. I am here to teach Shen how to behave and how to be a wife and daughter-in-law. You should step back."

Father raised his head in astonishment, and met Mrs. Ge's stern eyebrows: "What? You want to disobey?"

"Son...don't dare." The father lowered his head helplessly, he stood up, looked at his mother worriedly and helplessly, and walked out.

Mother was still kneeling on the ground.

Gu Chongyang clenched the hand holding the door curtain tightly.She felt sorry for her mother, but she couldn't do anything to help her. This feeling made her feel like a needle pricked her heart.

Mrs. Ge snorted coldly and asked, "Mrs. Shen, let me ask you, are you convicted?"

"Old lady, it's really my fault that the daughter-in-law failed to give birth to a male heir to the Gu family."

The mother knelt on the ground with her waist straight, neither humble nor overbearing.

"In the past few years, my daughter-in-law has been asking for medical advice, but unfortunately there are no good doctors in the south. This time I return to the capital, I will definitely ask the doctor to treat her well, and strive to give birth to a son for the master as soon as possible, and inherit the incense of the fourth house."

Mrs. Ge sneered as if hearing a big joke: "Mrs. Shen, do you still think you are a young girl of seventeen or eight years old? You haven't been able to lay an egg in the past ten years, and it will be even more impossible in the future." .”

Hearing this, Gu Chongyang couldn't help looking at Mrs. Ge in astonishment.

She is the head of the family, ordered by the imperial court, and the old lady of the Hou Mansion, so why are her words as vulgar as those ignorant servants?
I didn't like my mother-in-law in my previous life, and my mother-in-law did ridicule me, but she never used such dirty words.

But the mother was not surprised, she seemed to be used to it, she lowered her eyebrows and said pleasantly: "The old lady taught me the lesson."

"Let me ask you, you have been there for three years, and you haven't moved. Could it be that the two girls, Hongyi and Cuilu, can't be born?" Mrs. Ge said: "Could it be because you are narrow-minded and jealous, so they haven't kept going?" Do you dare to conceive?"

When the mother heard this, she raised her head in surprise: "Old lady, what's the matter with Guan Hongyi and Cuilu? Didn't you say that they were ordered by me? Why did it involve the fourth master?"

"At your command?" Mrs. Ge laughed angrily: "What are you, you are just the daughter of a lowly merchant, and your ancestors have burned incense for several lifetimes to marry into our Qingyang Hou Mansion. Are you also worthy of using the girl I trained?"

"But...but that's not what you said in the letter." A panic flashed across the mother's face: "You said these two maids are smart and sensible, and you are afraid that I will be too busy to take care of the fourth master, so you specially sent them two to help Me. However, Hongyi and Cuilu are really smart, they are very quick to do things, and they really helped my wife a lot..."

Speaking of this, the mother suddenly paused, with a suddenly realized expression on her face: "Old lady, do you mean that you want the two of them to serve the fourth master? Oh, this... this... this is all the daughter-in-law's fault, isn't it? My daughter-in-law is stupid, I didn't do what you wanted, and it was a waste of your kindness. This Hongyi and Cuilu are also real, why don't you tell me, and I am in this situation today. If I knew this, I would definitely be good Arrangement, I dare not treat them as ordinary maids."

The mother pretended not to know, not only did she shirk her responsibility completely, but said that the words in the old lady's letter were unclear, and she did not make it clear in advance.

Gu Chongyang couldn't help giving his mother a thumbs up in his heart. If she was half as smart as her mother, she wouldn't have fallen to that level in her previous life.

"Okay, okay, okay." She didn't expect to be swayed by the youngest daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Ge's face was clouded as if it was about to rain: "Mrs. Shen, you are really smart. Hongyi and Cuilu were useless before." It doesn't matter. But Bai Shengsheng has delayed them for two years, so he should give them an explanation. After all, when they went to Guichi two years ago, I also promised them that as long as they take good care of me, I will lift their aunts. "

Mrs. Ge said with a half-smile, "It's never too late for a good thing, so let's give them two a face in these few days."

Seeing her mother's ugly face, Mrs. Ge felt that she had finally found her place, she said: "Mrs. Chen, you will not give the old lady this face, will you?"

"The old lady's order, the daughter-in-law dare not disobey. It's just..."

Mrs. Ge asked gloomily, "Just what?"

"It's just that Hongyi and Cuilu have already married in Guichi County." The mother blamed herself, "It's because the daughter-in-law didn't think carefully. She wanted to tell the old lady, but there are too many things to do now, so she forgot about it." .”

Mrs. Ge glared at her mother sharply, "Who did you marry?"

"Hongyi is a local gentry in Guichi County, with a wealthy family. Cuilu married Shangfeng, the fourth master. Although she was young, Cuilu was very happy when she entered the family. Now she is living a very good life." The mother paused and said: "Old lady, you can rest assured."

Mrs. Ge couldn't help falling on her back in anger!
The person she worked so hard to train was originally intended to provoke Sifang for her own use.Unexpectedly, he was taken by that bastard of the fourth son to make friends with the local snakes and please Shangfeng.

The roadblocks he set up instead became his stepping stones.

She wasn't a good-tempered person in the first place, and she made troubles many times today, but she was bumped back by this daughter-in-law. She had endured it for a long time.At this point, she couldn't take it anymore.

"Mrs. Shen, you really deserve to be the daughter of a merchant, and you have no manners at all." Mrs. Ge said with a cold look in her eyes: "If you want to give away someone who is rewarded by the elders, do you still have my mother-in-law in your eyes? You have been married to our Qingyanghou Mansion for more than ten years, and you are still so shameless. I must teach you a lesson today. If you let you be so disrespectful, you will lose face of our Gu family sooner or later all!"

After finishing speaking, she called out to Madam Su loudly: "Take Mrs. Shen to kneel in the open room, I don't want to see her dejected face. Send two little maids to watch over her, and don't let her get up until noon."

The mother is the wife of the fourth bedroom. The old lady punished her mother in such a way that she clearly wanted to humiliate her on purpose.

Everyone in the family is watching, which makes my mother have no face to discipline the servants in the future.

Watching his mother go out and kneel next to Mingtang's long table, Gu Chongyang felt his heart was being stabbed.

She always thought that the treatment she received in the He family was very unfair, but she never thought that her mother's situation was much worse than her own.The old lady tortured her mother so much.

Gu Chongyang's heart skipped a beat!
In the previous life, until his mother passed away, he did not know that his mother was sick.No matter how confused he is, it is impossible not to have no impression at all.Besides, I didn't see my mother asking for medicine at all.

Could it be that the mother didn't die of illness in her last life, but was tortured to death by the old lady?
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Chongyang wanted to boil a pot of boiling water in his heart, tossing up and down, unable to calm down.

No, not possible!
In the previous life, after his mother died, the inner house was peaceful.If the mother was really killed by the old lady, how could the father live in peace with the old lady later?Not to mention that my father also married the old lady's niece Ge Bilian.

Besides, she still has an uncle.The two uncles loved their mother very much. If their mother was killed, they would fight to the death to find justice for their mother.

In this way, the mother's death has nothing to do with the old lady. The mother may really have a sudden illness.

But that was all a matter of the previous life. In this life, with myself, I would never watch my mother die of illness.

But what about now?Right now, my mother is being tortured, and my father has gone to the outer court, but I can't do anything about it.

This feeling can be really uncomfortable!

She doesn't want to hide here anymore, she has to do something.

Gu Chongyang was about to go out when he heard a burst of lively voices coming from outside.

As soon as the curtain moved, the eldest wife Hao Shi, the second wife Fei brought the eldest lady Gu Chonghua, the second lady Gu Chongzhu, and the third lady Gu Chongzhi came together.

Along with them were the second master Gu Zhanyu, the eldest son Gu Zhengrong of the first room, and Gu Mingxi the eldest son of the second room.

Eldest Master Gu Zhanpeng is the current Marquis of Qingyang, he is the eldest son of Madam Ge's own, and he has a son and a daughter under his knees.The eldest son Gu Zhengrong and the eldest daughter Gu Chonghua.

The second master Gu Zhanyu is a concubine and has one son and two daughters, namely the second young master Gu Mingxi, the second young lady Gu Chongzhu and the third young lady Gu Chongzhi.

The third master, Gu Zhanyun, is also Mrs. Ge's own son. He is not in good health, and now his knees are empty, and he has no heirs.

The fourth master Gu Zhanming, Gu Chongyang's father, he is also a concubine, and only the fourth young lady Gu Chongyang has a daughter under his knees.

Now there are four young ladies in the Qingyang Houfu, and only two young masters, so it seems that boys are even rarer.

Mrs. Ge loves her granddaughter dearly, but she values ​​her grandson more.

In particular, Gu Zhengrong, the eldest son of Marquis Qingyang, was the eldest grandson of Mrs. Ge's direct relatives. Seeing him coming, Mrs. Ge's face was all smiles.
