Chapter 214 Qin Zhizhi comes to the rescue!

After watching the parade of the top scholar, Qin Zhizhi and the others separated and went back to their homes.

Although the affairs of the mansion were taken care of by the eldest princess and Gu's mother, Qin Zhizhi felt that she should go back to help since her husband had just graduated from high school.

When Qin Zhizhi and Gu Yunfei returned home, Gu Ting had already returned. He and Gu Shi were being scolded in Madam Gu's yard.

When the servants saw the two men coming back, they stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

"Princess, Madam, the old lady asked me to wait here and asked Madam to visit her courtyard after returning home."

"Did Grandmother say what it was?"

When Qin Zhizhi heard the old lady looking for her, she thought something had happened.

"The old lady didn't tell me the details, but the eldest and second masters are here too," the servant replied respectfully.

"Sister Yunfei, I'll go to my grandmother first and come back to find you."

Qin Zhizhi was a little anxious because she was afraid of delaying the old lady's business.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. You'll know when you go and take a look. I'll go back first and wait until you're done."

Gu Yunfei thought that they might be discussing something related to her eldest brother, so her grandmother specially called her eldest sister-in-law over, and the servants just said that her father and second uncle were also there.

Qin Zhizhi separated from Gu Yunfei and went directly to the old lady's yard. She didn't even return to her own yard.

On the way to the old lady's yard, Qin Zhizhi was still a little confused. Could it be that her grandmother suddenly called her because of her husband's matter?

Qin Zhizhi walked into the yard and heard her grandmother scolding Uncle Gu and father-in-law before she even entered the house.

Qin Zhizhi became even more curious. She remembered that her uncle had gone to court early in the morning, so why was he being scolded in her grandmother's yard at this hour?

My husband is in high school, and my grandmother has been in a good mood these past two days. Logically, she wouldn't scold my uncle and father-in-law unless they caused trouble.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhizhi walked faster.

The maid guarding the door saw Qin Zhizhi coming and quickly bowed.

When Qin Zhizhi walked in, her father-in-law Gu Shi was pleading for justice with the old lady.

"Mother, it was my eldest brother who rejected her. It has nothing to do with me."

Upon hearing this, Gu Ting glared at Gu Shi. He felt that his brother was caring for nothing as he didn't even know how to share some of his mother's ire with him.

"Grandma, I heard from the servants that you were looking for me. My sister Yunfei and I went to watch the parade. My husband is in the limelight today."

Seeing Qin Zhizhi, the old lady's mood improved a little, and she waved to Qin Zhizhi to come to her side.

"Zhizhi is back, come to grandma."

Qin Zhizhi walked to the old lady obediently and asked with concern, "Just have fun."

Qin Zhizhi glanced at her uncle and father-in-law standing there, and asked tentatively, "Grandma, something happened at home. Do you need my help?"

When the old lady saw her granddaughter-in-law asking about this matter, she glared at Gu Ting and pulled Qin Zhizhi to explain.

"Zhizhi, the thing is, today in the palace, your elder brother asked the emperor to grant him a marriage, asking to marry Yunfei."

"Ah, I was wondering why Big Brother was so slow to act. It turns out you wanted the Emperor to grant you a marriage."

Qin Zhizhi was quite surprised when she heard that her elder brother had asked the emperor to grant him and the princess a marriage.

Hearing what her granddaughter-in-law said, it was the old lady's turn to be surprised. She asked uncertainly, "Zhizhi, do you mean that they are interested in each other?"

"Big brother has been in love with Sister Yunfei for a long time, but he feels that he is not worthy of Sister Yunfei, so he has never let anyone come to his house."

"I think I must have mustered up enough courage to go to high school this time, and I think sister Yunfei must be willing."

"Do you mean that Fei'er also likes your elder brother?" It was Gu Ting who asked this question.

"Uncle, didn't you see the sachet on Big Brother's waist? It's obviously embroidered by Sister Yunfei."

Qin Zhizhi's words made Gu Ting feel like he was struck by lightning. He said that Qin Qingyuan's purse looked so familiar.

He knew his daughter well, and she would never give her a purse unless she was truly moved.

Gu Ting felt regretful but also somewhat relieved. Fortunately, he did not refuse so firmly in the hall at that time. He just said that he would come back to discuss it, otherwise it would be difficult to resolve the situation.

"Grandma, this is a good thing, but are you worried that Sister Yunfei will suffer if she marries him?"

"Don't worry, Grandma and Mother don't know how much they love Sister Yunfei. If they knew that Big Brother asked for a marriage, they would be overjoyed."

"When sister Yunfei marries, I guarantee that the Qin family will hold her in the palm of their hands."

Qin Zhizhi is super happy now, but she continues to tell them the story because she is afraid that they may not believe her.

The more Qin Zhizhi talked, the more fierce the look in Old Madam Gu's eyes became when she looked at Gu Ting and Gu Shi. The eldest princess and Gu's mother almost laughed out loud.

This scene is so funny. Brothers really share the same difficulties.

"Zhizhi, grandma, your aunt, and your mother-in-law all support it. Your eldest brother is a good boy, but..."

"But the Emperor felt sorry for Sister Yunfei and was worried that she would suffer if she married my eldest brother, so he didn't agree to the marriage?"

Qin Zhizhi knew how much the emperor loved Gu Yunfei, so her first reaction was that the emperor did not agree.

"Yes, it's the Emperor."

"It's not the emperor, it's your uncle who refused."

"Brother, it's obviously you!"

Everyone said it was Gu Ting, but only Gu Ting blamed it all on the emperor.

Qin Zhizhi looked at them in shock, then asked Gu Ting, "Uncle, do you also think that Big Brother and Sister Yunfei are not a good match?"

"Zhizhi, listen to me. Uncle didn't mean that. It was the Emperor who misled me. Also, I didn't know Fei'er's feelings, so I said I'd come back to discuss it. I didn't say I didn't want to."

Gu Ting finally had the chance to speak and looked at Qin Zhizhi with emotion.

Ever since his mother knew that he had rejected Qin Qingyuan on her daughter's behalf, she didn't give him a chance to speak.

"So do you agree with what uncle means?" Qin Zhizhi asked with a smile.

"If Fei'er agrees, I agree. If she doesn't like it, she won't marry him even if he's a prince. As long as she likes him, it doesn't matter if he's a beggar."

Gu Ting is well-known for doting on his daughter. Given the power of the Gu family, his daughter does not need an arranged marriage. As long as his daughter is happy, that's all that matters.

"What beggar? Qingyuan is the new top scholar Lang." The old lady felt that her eldest son was becoming less and less able to speak.

"Mom, I was just giving an analogy, not saying Qingyuan is a beggar."

Gu Shi felt that his mother had misunderstood, so he quickly explained on behalf of his eldest brother, and successfully diverted the old lady's anger.

"And you, you're always trying to smooth things over and don't care about your niece at all. My granddaughter-in-law is more attentive."

This time, Mother Gu really couldn't help herself. Ever since her husband and elder brother were scolded, she thought about all the hard times in the past and that's why she couldn't help laughing.

The main reason was that the mother-in-law's reasons for scolding her son were too outrageous. At the same time, she was glad in her heart that her mother-in-law was kind to her and the princess, and only scolded her elder brother and husband whenever something happened.

"Grandma, please don't be angry. This is not a big deal. I'll go home and tell them. If they don't approve the marriage, then they don't. I'll ask my mother to find a matchmaker."

"You're so thoughtful. Thank you for taking the trouble to make the trip."

"I don't agree!"
