Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 293
After hearing her assurance, Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she hadn't seen Wanrong all this time, she asked, "Why didn't I see my second sister, but she was still embroidering dowry in the house?"

Grandma Gu had a hint of anger in her eyes when she heard this, and said with a sneer: "How could she stay here honestly to be married? Since I came back, I have seen her once, and went to Shouchangbo Mansion early in the morning. I haven't married yet, so I ran to my in-law's house regardless of shame..."

Wanqing heard the resentment in her tone, so she tentatively asked, "Second sister's dowry is already packed? I'm here today, and I plan to add another box for her."

Grandma Gu said coldly: "Why doesn't she pack her bags well? She has someone to watch her all day long. In her own home, she is also guarding against thieves. What does she think of her own family?"

This is Wanrong's usual style. Wanqing recalled the last time she was watching a martial arts competition. Wanrong left the field first as if she had foreseen it. She became more and more suspicious that the palace change was related to Shou Changbo. The strange thing is that something happened to King Shou, but Shouchangbo's mansion was safe and sound. Although Murong Lingyun finally turned against King Shou, did Shouchangbo not participate?

From that Wanrong poisoning incident, the relationship between Wanqing and Wanrong can be regarded as reconciled, and the two sisters can be regarded as good friends for a while later, but later, because of the matter of saving Wanli, the relationship between the two froze again. And Wanrong's habitual hypocrisy and selfishness also chilled Wanqing's heart, and she no longer expected that these sisters who were related by blood would treat each other sincerely.

Suddenly, she had a thought, and said to Grandma Gu: "Sister-in-law, do you know why mother makes the house look empty?"

Grandma Gu's face became gloomy when she heard this: "I also asked my mother-in-law several times, and she only said that she spent all the money to save the fourth sister. When I asked in a hurry, she lost her temper and rushed out to find The second sister is desperate, and she scolds the third sister..."

Halfway through the speech, he seemed to feel that something was wrong with what he had said, so he quickly shut up.

Wanqing understood that she actually suspected that she had also swallowed the money from the Gu family, she smiled and said: "Speaking of which, I was indeed the one who saved the fourth sister from the palace that day, and my mother did give me a lot of money, but , I only spent less than 1 taels that day, and returned the remaining 3 taels to Dad. If my sister-in-law doesn’t believe this, she can ask Dad. Otherwise, if the eldest brother and sister-in-law come back, there will really be only an empty shelf left in the mansion. However, it was the second sister who went into the palace to save the fourth sister. I didn’t see the second sister for a long time when I came out. She is here, but she seems to be angry with me and refuses to talk to me, so let's just leave it at that."

Grandma Gu listened very carefully, her face became more and more gloomy, she shook Wanqing's hand and said, "Third sister, thanks for telling me this, otherwise, I really don't know that our family's money has been filled in." She went into that pit, no wonder, the second sister guarded her dowry so hard, that's how it is.

Now that daddy has got back a lot of money, I feel much more at ease, and the future will not be so difficult, but I don't know if the money in daddy's hand is still in his hand now..."

The implication is that he suspects that Mr. Gu secretly gave all the money to Aunt Yu.

It's hard for Wanqing to accept such words. This is an internal matter of the Gu family. In the Gu family, all she cares about is Elder Gu and Cun Xiao. She has no strength to care about what happens to the others.

While talking, she and Grandma Gu went to the house together. After sitting down in the flower hall, Grandma Gu asked someone to bring Brother Hao to show Wanqing that Brother Hao was only over a month old. His facial features are still wrinkled together, but Gu Cunren and Grandma Gu have good genetics, Brother Hao's handsome eyebrows and cute eyes, coupled with his pink appearance, Wanqing couldn't help hugging Brother Hao who was sleeping soundly. In her hand, Grandma Gu looked a little nervous, but she still smiled dryly and put Brother Hao in Wanqing's arms. Wanqing kissed Brother Hao's little face, and let Bi Cao take a long life of Zijin Give the lock to Brother Hao.

Sister Gu saw Brother Hao return to the nanny's hands safe and sound, and then took the heavy Zijin lock, the smile on her face became much more cordial, and she kept saying good things to please Wanqing.

The Lin family over there had a sullen face, staring at Wanqing without saying a word, as if her eyes were about to swallow Wanqing.

Wanli pulls her sleeves by her side from time to time, now Wanqing looks wan and haggard, she is no longer as high-spirited as before, she is not as coquettish and domineering as before, she is not yet 15 years old, and she belongs to this age Nong Li could no longer see her complexion, and she seemed shy and cowering. When she found that Wanqing looked over, she raised her eyes slightly, and immediately lowered her eyes, as if she was afraid of meeting Wanqing's gaze.

But Wanqing still clearly saw the hatred in Wanli's eyes, her heart tightened suddenly, and she narrowed her eyes vigilantly.

But to her surprise, Wanli quickly raised her eyes again, looked at Wanqing timidly and said, "Third sister, you said last time that you would intercede for my sister... I don't know if you have Is it empty..."

This is the first time I have seen such a cowardly Wanli Wanqing, but her fleeting hatred just now made Wanqing raise her vigilance, she smiled and said: "The Shou Prince has not been dealt with yet, even if you want to replace him My sister's intercession depends on the final result of the King of Shou. If the emperor is merciful and just exempted from the throne of the King of Shou, then you can still marry the King of Shou, my sister. There is no need for me to ask for help, right? ?”

Wanli's eyes showed a hint of thin wings when she heard this, and when she was about to speak, she heard Wanrong come in from the outside and said, "I'm afraid there is no need to wait, King Shou escaped from prison, someone rescued King Shou from the clan mansion, Now, even if the emperor is willing to forgive him for treason, I'm afraid he won't be able to forgive him for treason. The weapon that injured the jailer was found to belong to Xirong. Xi Rong colluded, otherwise, they would not take such a big risk to ask the King of Shou to go."

This remark caused an uproar in the audience, and Lin and Wanli's faces paled instantly. The crime of treason is too great. implicated.

Wanli finally burst into tears, covering her face and crying earth-shatteringly. She has been suppressed for too long these days, so once all hopes were shattered, she lost control and cried loudly.
