C154 nuptial candle night

Madame Song Li and Mian Niang looked at each other and saw the same shock in each other's eyes.

"That maid is also a must, she ran away and even spread the news of this matter to the entire street. The matter regarding the Elementary Scholar was no secret, and now that it has been done, it is even more embarrassing. Not to mention going to the academy to study, he wouldn't even have the face to come out and meet people on the street."

"So that's how it is?"

Madame Song Li muttered to herself.

In my opinion, the reason why the Elementary Scholar came here the first two times was also because of this matter. It was just that Mian Niang was unable to explain it properly, so they thought of such a rotten idea, but they did not expect that their plan to fail when they tried to steal the chicken and eat the rice, but instead got tricked by that servant. This time, the mother and son pair from Mei Family were probably forced to come here because they had no choice, otherwise, they would not have face, and would not let Mian Niang give them proof.

The mother and daughter duo stared at her in shock, not knowing where she had found out about this.

She waved her hand and said, "Don't look at me like that, I'm not someone who would lie on the wall and talk to a wife. Although the two of them came early, I woke up. To be honest, I was afraid that you would suffer, so I went to the city to ask around. "That's when you learn the whole story."

"You came all the way to the city for this?"

She felt that these people were meddling in other people's business, but now that she thought about it, they were only wholeheartedly thinking about Mian Niang at the time, and did not know the inside information.

"This is nothing. This is not a secret. I did not spend much effort when I found out about it. To be honest, not only did I find out about it, I also found out about something else."

Her mysterious expression successfully aroused the curiosity of the mother and daughter pair.

Madame Song Li could not help but lower her voice and ask, "What's the matter?"

"That Wu Niang was dumped by that man in the city, and now, she has turned around and made love to another Zheng Dahu in the city. It is said that this Zheng Dahu was not born to be a peaceful person, that he had a principal wife, five concubines, and a concubine, and on the outside, there was even the head of a pink river crab." That Wu Niang was dumped by that man in the city, and that Zheng Dahu had turned and made love with a Zheng Dahu in the city.

Mian Niang could not help but think back to the two figures she saw in the cloth-shop. Presumably, they were not her imagination, but the two people's description was just too intimate.

"Is she not afraid that the man from before will come back to find her?"

Mian Niang thought about the only two times they had met, how Prince Rong had always gave off a domineering and arrogant image, and did not seem like a magnanimous person.

"Aiyo, my foolish child, for her to be able to do such a thing, she must have eaten that person and won't come back. Furthermore, so what if that person has returned, I have asked around, the man that brought her out back then was just a passing wealthy businessman, this Zheng Dahu is also not someone to be trifled with. In the city, there are seven or eight shops, and they are said to be in-laws with the county magistrate, which is a well-known fact, even if that rich businessman is rich, he will not be able to suppress the boss!"

"That's not necessarily true!" Mian Niang laughed, "I have to see, compared to the snake on the ground, or the dragon on the other hand, it might even be better."

A Yunniang let out an "ah", and looked at tofu hyacinth in puzzlement. He only thought that Mian Niang was boasting for that wealthy merchant's sake.

However, Mian Niang just looked at the tofu plate in the hut and did not say a word.

A Yunniang suspiciously glanced at Madame Song, asking her what was going on.

Madame Song Li shook her head: "Look at her, what can she do, it's just that she's angry over Wu Niang's matter, at that time Dalang was also single-minded towards her, and did not have the slightest bit of sincerity, how can there be a girl like that!"

"Sigh, if I were to say that Wu Niang was like a flower and was spoiled, how would a family like us be able to keep him? You, just for your son …"

A Yunniang saw that Madame Song's expression had dimmed, and immediately changed the topic: "What about the past, we don't need to worry about it all day, but, in the future, what if the tofu hyacinth doesn't give up, what happens if they come knocking again?"

"I've already refused her!"

After Madame Song Li finished speaking, she realized that she had thought things through so simply.

Sure enough, A Yunniang patted her shoulder and said: "Don't you think about it, if she really gave up so easily, would she have come back the first two times? Now that the rumors are spreading around the city, especially after that servant ran away, the two of them found it harder to get down from their horses. What better choice do they have than Mian Niang standing out there and helping them clarify the situation? "

Madame Song Li glanced at Mian Niang, and as expected, she saw the same worry on her daughter's face.

After sending A Yunniang off, Madame Song did not immediately return to her room. When Mian Niang returned, she was still sitting on the small kang, deep in thought.

Mian Niang walked over and called her mother. She raised her head to look at her daughter, her expression somewhat obscure.

Mian Niang did not know what happened to her, and immediately asked her.

She did not answer and only shook her head and asked: "If that Mei Family came back again, what would happen?"

Mian Niang already had a plan in her heart, after hearing what she said, he did not hide anything: "Today's beans have already been soaked, and must be made tomorrow. This way, we can use up the brine and sell the tofu skin.

Madame Song Li nodded: "That's the only way."

It was rare for the mother and daughter to speak in such amiable tone after their accident. Mian Niang was a little unwilling to part with such an atmosphere, but when she looked at her mother, her eyes were filled with affection.

She had another plan in her mind, but she did not want to alarm her mother right now. This matter had to be carried out quietly so that nothing could happen in the future that could implicate her mother and brother.

Madame Song Li was worried that she might cause trouble again after entering the city, and urged, "After entering the city, if you can inquire, ask. If you can't find out, don't force it.

This was a rare moment of concern for his mother, so Mian Niang nodded in agreement.

Madame Song Li took away the shoes that she had made for two months and only half of them were made. She told her to go to bed early.

Mian Niang didn't know why she took her shoes away, but she felt that his mother was closer to him today than she was in the past. She was very satisfied in her heart, after washing herself, she was really lying on the brick bed, but she was unable to sleep for a while, all she was thinking about was the Mei Family.

Beijing, Gu Hou Mansion:

The moon was up and the guests had dispersed. After the hubbub, all that was left was a pile of red paper.

Red firecrackers filled half the courtyard.

Several maidservants were carefully cleaning the place.

At some point, a tall figure was standing on the red felt paper in the courtyard.

The solitary figure appeared even more desolate and desolate in this bustling place.

Only when one of the maidservants came closer did she realize that the person standing there was not just any other, it was the third young master.

He couldn't help but be curious in his heart. Obviously, on the day of little Denver, this master didn't return to his room to accompany the bride, but rather, just what was he standing here for?

He carefully called out: "Master San!"

It was only after a long while that the man replied, "Ah!"

The maid was even more curious. They exchanged glances with other people, and all they got was the same kind of curiosity and doubt. It was just that they didn't dare to ask too much about the Main Family.

When he thought about the rumors in the mansion, they all said that this master had met a lover after returning to his hometown, but they had never mentioned it. Back then, when the old master had been in charge of this marriage, he had not resisted at all.

If there really was such a person in his heart, with his temper, he would have already started a ruckus.

Yet now, she decided to marry him instead.

This was not his style.

Gu Xin could naturally feel the gaze. He looked at the people in the yard who pretended to be focused on their work, then turned around and walked towards his own yard.

Unexpectedly, two people came over and greeted him politely, "Defend, congratulations, on this day. Instead of watching the bride today, why are you loitering around? Don't tell me you're being shy?"

At the same time, Gu Yue cupped his fists and bowed, "Big brother, second brother."

Gu Er didn't answer, but even though he felt bored, he still couldn't help but to curse.

Your new wife might just be a concubine of the Prince Rong's Mansion, but she can still be considered a golden branch and a jade leaf. Furthermore, it was Grandpa who personally asked her to marry him, so you shouldn't treat her with contempt.

If it were in the past, Gu Han would have already retorted back, completely disregarding his concubine cousin. However, today Gu Yan was in a bad mood and didn't say anything. He just bypassed them and was about to leave.

Gu Er didn't want to let him go. He extended a hand to stop him, but was stopped by his grandfather. "Guard him. Grandfather has put in a lot of effort. You must understand."

Gu Xin's body trembled. He coldly looked at the two people and said, "Of course I understand."

The emperor was like a puppet, he was completely at the mercy of the King Rong himself. Grandfather was continuously being attacked, and now that he was bedridden, there was no way for him to take on big responsibilities in the family, even his uncles and fathers could not stand up, and his grandfather's request to be the son of the Feng Family was even more suppressed. After his grandfather had gotten sick, the Gu family's position in the imperial court had become weaker, and the old grudges between the Gu family and the Prince Rong's Mansion had also started to recede.

In order to make a fuss about the future generations, Senior Marquis Gu took the initiative to throw out an olive branch to King Rong.

It was an act of helplessness.

Gu Yue turned around and left, Gu Er was still indignant: "Big brother, look at him, what's so great about him, he doesn't even like the King's Mansion's golden branches and jade leaves, he doesn't even think about it, once the marriage is decided, the title of Marquis Mansion will be given to the Third Branch, what else is there for him to be unsatisfied about?"
