Empress has purpose

Chapter 42 Plan
Gu Yunwan and Meng's thoughts were lost, and they got up to leave after staying in Ci'an Hall for a short time.

The old lady felt tired after Meng's fuss, her eyes were slightly closed, she stretched out her hand and rubbed her forehead lightly, Gu Qingrui took a few steps forward when she saw this, and helped old lady Gu massage.

Gu Yunxi thought for a while, then got up with a wink and said: "Yunxi also resigned, grandma, please pay more attention to rest."

Mrs. Gu waved her hand and said, "Go, you must be tired just after you came back."

Gu Yunxi blessed her body, and went out with Lu Wu.

After a while, Mrs. Gu's expression relaxed a little, she didn't seem to have the same headache just now, she still closed her eyes and said: "Rui girl, go back too, my daughter's family should go to the garden more to relax , you don’t have to stay with my old lady all the time.”

The movements in Gu Qingrui's hands paused, and she said softly: "Rather than going for a walk in the garden, Rui'er prefers to accompany grandma. When grandma is happy, Rui'er is happy. Grandma, you are also tired, so Rui'er will leave first. , come to visit grandma some other day.”

Mrs. Gu hummed lightly, and said: "Miss Rui has a heart. You all go down too, as long as there is Madam Su here."

Gu Qingrui walked out, and several servant girls followed orders to leave the door. When they were about to reach the door, Gu Qingrui turned around and looked at Mrs. Gu thoughtfully, and then stepped over the threshold and went out.

A servant girl closed the door.

After everyone went out, Mrs. Gu's originally closed eyes suddenly opened, and the eyes flashed.

"Qiu Niang, what do you think of this girl Yun Xi?" Qiu Niang is exactly Su Nai's name. Su Nai has married Mrs. Gu into Gu's mansion since she was 16 years old, and now it has been dozens of years. He is the person Mrs. Gu trusts the most.

Madam Su still kept massaging Mrs. Gu, and she said after a while: "I think the third girl seems to have changed a lot..."

Mrs. Gu pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's listen."

Madam Su then continued: "Look, servant girl, the third girl is much more stable and sensible than before. These days, the third girl and a few other girls have helped you manage the affairs of the house in an orderly manner, old lady. Everything seems to be done very well, saving you a lot of burden, and you are also very filial to the old lady. Just looking at the scriptures presented today, it is enough to see that San Niang has put her heart into you .”

"Oh? In your opinion, Yun Xi is a pretty good girl?"

Su Momo smiled and said: "This servant thinks that at Miss San's age, it's pretty good to be able to do this."

Madam Gu thought for a while, then flicked her hand, Madam Su stopped what she was doing, and stood beside Madam Gu respectfully.

The room was silent, only the curling cigarettes rising from the incense burner and the faint fragrance in the air.

……

Chonghua Academy.

Meng shi waved away the servants in the room, sat on the chair with an angry face, slapped the table vigorously with her palm, and snorted heavily, obviously in a hurry.

Gu Yunwan hurriedly walked to her side, and gently carried Meng's back: "Mother, please calm down, don't get angry again, then it will be just as they want."

After listening to her daughter's words, Mrs. Meng took it for granted, slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'm so mad, half of the old Yu Po's body is almost buried in the ground, and she still wants to dominate the affairs of the mansion. Having said that, she still doesn't agree. This mansion is controlled by me, why should she insist on it! And let those little bastards do whatever they want in the mansion."

The corners of Gu Yunwan's eyes twitched when she heard it, and she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Mother, please keep your voice down, it will be bad if it reaches grandma's ears."

Mrs. Meng glanced outside, and said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, there are all mothers in this courtyard, and they dare not spread the word outside if they have the guts."

Gu Yunwan shook her head and said: "Mother, you can't be careless. All the servants in this mansion are arrogant and snobbish. Now it's not your mother who is in charge of this mansion. It's impossible to say who has such thoughts. It's time to be active."

Mrs. Meng thought for a while, nodded, seemed to think there was some truth, and then angrily lowered her voice and said, "My mother is really flustered with anger, and you said what happened to Gu Yunxi, why did she suddenly die?" It's like a different person, like a soft dough before, let me knead, but she listens to me the most, I tell her to go east, she will never go west!"

Gu Yunwan shook her head lightly, and said: "My daughter doesn't know about things that you don't even know, but now we have also seen that the third sister is going to fight us to the end. I was careless before, mother , Now we really should make a good plan, if not, I am afraid there will be no place for our mother and daughter in this mansion."

Meng shi nodded immediately when she heard that: "Yun Wan, you are right, and I'm watching today, that dead girl Gu Qingrui is probably standing with Gu Yunxi."

Gu Yunwan was also silent. Thinking of Gu Qingrui's reaction, she felt a little resentful in her heart, and sighed: "My daughter originally thought that the eldest sister and the second sister were already hers, so she should at least pull the fifth sister over. It turned out that she was the first to take the lead."

Meng said disapprovingly, "That girl never kissed us."

Gu Yunwan thought for a while and then said: "Mother, my daughter thinks that the best way right now is to let father stand by us. She is the head of the family, and grandmother always obeys his words. It would go against his will."

Mrs. Meng nodded, and said: "That's true, but your father hasn't come to my place for a long time. I've been sick for so long, and he only came to see him two or three times. The third aunt! Especially the third aunt, because of her, your father gave birth to a son, and he spends most of his days staying with her!"

Thinking of this, Mrs. Meng felt suffocated.

Gu Yunwan sighed and said: "Mother, you also know that there are not many male heirs in the mansion. Except for the eldest brother, Zhuo brother finally came out. Naturally, my father loves me very much, so my daughter feels that the most urgent thing is, mother, don't you?" It's not time to give birth to a younger brother for our daughter, after all, father is our only support in the mansion."

Mrs. Meng blushed when she heard the words, and said angrily, "Young girl, you don't feel ashamed to say that."

Gu Yunwan's expression was a bit serious and she said: "Mother, my daughter is doing it for your own good and for our future, think about it, maybe it's because you don't have a son by your grandmother's way of treating you, so you're not in a hurry. "

Meng Shi paused, then turned to look at Gu Yunwan: "I know what you said, but this matter... I can't do it in a hurry."

Gu Yunwan thought for a while, then sighed, walked to the door and looked out along the crack of the door, then went to the window to look.

Meng Shi was very puzzled by Gu Yunwan's actions, and said, "Yunwan, what are you doing?"

Gu Yunwan turned her head to look at Mrs. Meng, and after confirming that there was no one outside, she lowered her voice and said: "Mother, you have sent your daughter out all these years, and you have invited the nuns in the palace to teach her how to behave, and my daughter also knows about you. meaning, so study every step seriously.”

Gu Yunwan paused and continued: "Seeing my daughter working hard, the nuns secretly told her a lot of palace secrets. You also know that most of the nobles in this palace are looking forward to having children, and some of them are pregnant. If not, when you are in a hurry, you will send people around you to find out the formula for giving birth to a child. Among the nuns you invited for your daughter, there happens to be one who is helping the late emperor's virtuous concubine when he was alive. This recipe."

Meng Shi was startled, she stared blankly at Gu Yunwan, and said after a while, "It's really a concubine..." If she remembered correctly, the concubine of the late emperor had the most children. "

Meng Shi thought for a while, and said with some joy on her face: "You mean..."

Gu Yunwan nodded and looked at Meng Shi seriously.
