Chapter 388: The eldest sister-in-law supports the family (14)

"What's wrong? Do you want to go with me?" Chen Jishi looked at his closed disciple. He felt that if he didn't say something, this disciple would be lost indefinitely.

"No, no." Wei Yin was afraid that he would be angry and shook his head to explain, "Although Wei Yin was reluctant to leave his sister-in-law, he never thought of leaving with her. The opportunity to study was hard-won and he cherished it very much. He was just sad. His sister-in-law was just a woman.

If she returned to a place like Dongdu, she would be bullied by others!" Chen Jishi rolled his eyes at him, "Since you feel sorry for her, then work harder and strive to become a master as soon as possible. If you indulge in this every day, you might as well go with her now. Go back to Dongdu with her, even if you have to do hard labor, I can take care of you."

After he said this, Wei Yin understood the key point and tried his best to suppress his emotions.

In fact, when his sister-in-law left, she also solemnly told him to study here with peace of mind and never think about the things at home. She would take care of the things at home.

Shi Yi returned to Dongdu and continued to promote their own rouge with Yue'er. The two of them were no longer master and servant, but sisters, and they opened a small rouge shop together. Yue'er was the younger sister who stayed in the shop, and Shi Yi was the older sister who promoted the business outside. Every three months, she would use the money she earned to go to the market to exchange for rice and dried meat, and then let Yue'er carry them to Nanling.

Yue'er knew the rules of the great scholar Chen Jishi, so every time she went to Nanling, she did not communicate with Wei Yin, but just put down the backpack and left. Over time, Wei Yin also figured out the pattern of her coming here, and waited at the door early that day, exchanged glances with her, and then let her leave. Chen Jishi certainly knew all these things, but he just turned a blind eye and ignored them.

The days passed quickly. The contradictions between Emperor Chunde and the prince in the court became increasingly fierce, and the private struggles between the emperor and the prince were also difficult to resolve. Because the second daughter of the Gu family married into the prince's mansion as a concubine, the Gu family, which was originally on the emperor's side, was also involved, and Censor Gu Chang was in a dilemma. At least, that was the case on the surface.

This was the third time the prince had visited Censor Gu's mansion this month. He got off the carriage and ran to Censor Gu's study room with familiarity.

When he saw Gu Chang, Censor Gu, his nominal father-in-law, he didn't even say a word of courtesy, but flew into a rage, venting all the anger that Emperor Chunde had directed at him to Gu Chang.

"Your Highness, anger is harmful to your health." Gu Chang's expression did not change because of this sudden anger. These days, he has become accustomed to the prince's routine of getting angry whenever he comes. He would be surprised if the prince were to be humble and submissive to him.

"Master Gu, tell me, isn't Father going too far? He clearly knew that Minister Liu of the Ministry of War was my man, but he framed him and put him in Dongdu Prison without saying anything. I think Father must still be resentful of me for attacking Wei Yang!" The prince slammed the table heavily and sat down. The breath from his nose was hot, and Gu Changchang took a small step back silently.

The prince didn't actually want to hear what he said. He was just angry, surprisingly angry.

After Wei Yang's death, the Wei family fell into ruin, and Emperor Chunde began to suppress him intentionally or unintentionally. Many people he arranged in important positions in the court were imprisoned or dismissed by Emperor Chunde for various reasons. If this continues, he will have no one to use in the court. What made him even more unacceptable was that Emperor Chunde began to contact other mediocre princes, trying to choose those who could compete with him.

Gu Changchang certainly knew the reason why the prince was angry. But he didn't want to give advice to the prince, nor was he willing to be such a counselor.

Not to mention that the prince had a violent temper and would beat and scold people around him at will, the way he dealt with Wei Yang was really not glorious enough, which really brought shame to the royal family.

It was also because Wei Yang had no ambition when he was young, so he did not cultivate his own power. When he died, he only had a sickly son of seventeen and a concubine's son who was less than nine years old in his family, who could not achieve anything. Otherwise, according to the nature of this case that everyone could see was an unjust case, the prince would not have an easy time.

"Master Gu, can you give me some advice? How can I regain my father's love for me?" The prince looked at the strong middle-aged man with his eyes fixed, waiting for his next words.

He knew that this middle-aged man might look down on him, but he used a method to marry his daughter and tied him to his boat. If he capsized, he would definitely not let the people on his boat have an easy time.

Gu Changchang shook his head and said modestly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince really thinks highly of me. I really don't have any good ideas."

"Does Lord Gu not want to do it or doesn't want to do it?" The Crown Prince narrowed his eyes, as if he was on the verge of getting angry.

Gu Changchang still said calmly: "I have always been greedy for fame, and I just want to be a censor with a clean reputation. I really don't want to get involved in your and the emperor's private affairs."

The Crown Prince wanted to scold him for being hypocritical. Everyone in the entire Dongdu knew that Gu Changchang was extremely harsh to his original daughter. A good boudoir daughter insisted on marrying to the Wei family to be a widow. After being a widow, he did not send someone to take her back, but let her show up outside and make a living by reselling some rouge and powder

. But when he heard the last two words "private affairs", his eyes lit up. Although Emperor Chunde was the emperor, he was also his father. They were connected by the same woman they loved deeply. Why didn't he use this bond?

With an idea in mind, he didn't stay here for long. He waved his sleeves and went to the gate of the mansion without even taking a sip of tea.

Yang Yonghua, who came to deliver cakes, bumped into him leaving in a hurry. She wanted to ask something, but stopped herself. Since the prince had left, she was not in a hurry to please him. She slowed down her pace and walked towards her husband Gu Changchang.

Although she had been with him for many years and raised three daughters, she still couldn't understand him. But she didn't mind this. She just had to show her gentleness and care in front of this man at any time. This was something that the man's original wife did not have. Come to think of it, if the original sister was as gentle as her, could she stay in this family?

"Husband, I brought some freshly made cakes for you to try." She gently placed the plate of cakes on the table.

"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Changchang's eyes were slightly cold, but the smile on his face was warm.

"These are all Hua'er's duties. What's the hardship? As long as my husband has Hua'er in his heart, everything Hua'er does is worth it." Yang Yonghua leaned against him like a little bird, her eyes were so sweet that they could drown people.

Waiting for the day when he would be a disciple, she would definitely give him more support.
