Chapter 826: My cousin is reborn and wants to snatch my marriage (35)

Gu Shiyao really wanted to see any signs of her unhappy life in Marquis Qi Yang's Mansion on Gu Shichu's face, but unfortunately she was disappointed. Gu Shichu was living a very good life and everyone could see the radiant glow on her face.

"Has my brother-in-law made progress recently? Speaking of which, the rumors I heard about him outside all said that he is the most into eating, drinking and having fun, but has never done anything serious. If he doesn't have a good family background, I don't know if he can support himself... My husband is different. I heard that he was praised by his superiors for his efficient work last time. They praised him as a promising talent with unlimited future..." While Gu Shiyao was praising Tang Buqing by stepping on Ming Xun, she was stealthily glancing at Gu Shichu's expression, trying to see an expression of shame and embarrassment on her face.

But she was disappointed again. When Gu Shichu heard her compare the idle Ming Xun with Tang Buqing, he did not feel ashamed or embarrassed. Instead, he nodded proudly and said, "The prince really doesn't like to climb up like those fame-seeking people. He just likes to eat, drink and have fun. You are right. If he didn't have a good family background, he wouldn't be so free and easy. But he does have a good family background for him to squander. He should thank the Ming family's ancestors for leaving him a rich legacy..."

When Gu Shiyao heard her say this, she was choked and couldn't calm down. She stared at Gu Shichu with a smile on his face, unable to understand why Gu Shichu was not dissatisfied with her husband's lack of ambition and success. Is there anyone who, after getting married, doesn't want her husband to work hard and make progress, so that she can enjoy honor and glory as a wife?

Gu Shiyao really wanted to convince herself that Gu Shichu was hiding something, but she couldn't deceive herself because there was no trace of forced smile on Gu Shichu's face, let alone any sign that she was unhappy.

"Third sister, a man who doesn't want to make a name for himself and bring honor to his family, but only wants to eat, drink and have fun by relying on the merits of his ancestors, isn't that just living off the land? People will look down on him. I advise you to go back and persuade the prince to make progress..." Gu Shiyao didn't give up. Why could Gu Shichu not care about Mingxun's lack of progress? She should also despise Mingxun like herself, or be tortured by her mother-in-law and live in dire straits.

Gu Shichu ignored her jealous provocation and looked at her with inquiring eyes, asking suspiciously, "Big sister, why do you always care about whether the prince is making progress? You are not still thinking about him, are you? You have married my brother-in-law! And it was you who despised the prince's lack of progress and tried to break off the engagement with him. Why do you think of him now? Where do you put my brother-in-law by doing this?"

"No! I'm not thinking about him! I'm not! Don't talk nonsense..." When Gu Shiyao heard what Gu Shichu said, her face suddenly changed with fright. She denied it in shock and stared at Gu Shichu until her eyes turned red. "Third sister, how can you slander me? I only have my husband in my heart. Don't talk nonsense and hurt me..."

Although she tried her best to defend herself, her flustered appearance would make people think that she was guilty even if there was nothing wrong. At least the two cousins ​​who had been silent and acted like wallflowers and just watched the confrontation between Gu Shichu and Gu Shiyao heard what Gu Shichu said, and looked at Gu Shiyao with strange eyes.

"Oh, if you say there is no such thing, then there is no such thing. Why are you arguing so loudly? People who don't know would think you are angry and embarrassed." Gu Shichu said lightly, making Gu Shiyao so angry that she almost fainted.

"Ahem...Okay, we are sisters, so please stop saying those hurtful words." Zhou finally calmed down and started to mediate. If she didn't mediate, her daughter would almost be angered to death by Gu Shichu.

Gu Shichu saw her finally speak, and was impatient to continue to tangle with the mother and daughter, so he asked directly: "Why did the aunt call us married women back? If you have something to say, just say it directly. I'm busy and have to go back as soon as possible."

Gu Shichu's words were very blunt. In Zhou's eyes, Gu Shichu became arrogant after she got into power after marrying into the Qi Yang Marquis's Mansion. Zhou gritted her teeth in hatred, but now Gu Shichu was the prince's wife, and was no longer the helpless little niece who allowed her to do whatever she wanted.

"...It's nothing. It's just that your father's birthday is coming soon. You should bring your husbands with you." Zhou stroked her chest and said weakly.

"Is it just this little thing?" Gu Shichu was very skeptical. If it was really just this little thing, Zhou could just send someone to notify them directly. There was no need to call them all back. As for her excuse that she was sick and wanted to see them, Gu Shichu didn't believe a word of this excuse.

But if she didn't say it, Gu Shichu wouldn't insist. She nodded and said, "I understand. I will come with the prince to my uncle's birthday. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Zhou looked at her, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated. Gu Shichu just pretended that she didn't see it. If she didn't say anything, did she want her to ask again and again? Then she might as well hold it in and never say it again.

In the end, Zhou could only watch Gu Shichu leave. After Gu Shichu left, the other two cousins ​​also found excuses to leave, and finally only Gu Shiyao was left.

"Why don't you let me ask them? I'd also like them to give you some advice." Zhou said to Gu Shiyao in a frustrated tone, "I see that they all have rosy faces, and they don't look like they are being tortured by their mother-in-laws. Maybe they have a way to avoid this? Especially Gu Shichu, she is a helpless woman who married the prince. The wife of Marquis Qiyang must not like her and will try to torture her, but she has a rosy face and doesn't look tortured at all. Don't you want to learn from her?"

"Mom! If I tell them, won't they laugh at me in private? The reason they weren't tortured is that they were lucky. The mothers-in-law they married into had good tempers. But my mother-in-law is a vicious old immortal..." Gu Shiyao said reluctantly.

"So what do you want? I asked your father to warn Tang Buqing, but your situation didn't improve. I wanted your sisters to teach you, but you refused to embarrass yourself in front of them. How do you want me to help you?" Zhou asked angrily, "Do you want me to call old lady Tang over and scold her? I would like to, but aren't you afraid that I will scold her to death and ruin the relationship between you and your son-in-law?"

Zhou was so angry. She thought about her daughter in everything, but her daughter did not live up to her expectations. Since her daughter got married, she has been worried more than in the past ten years. No wonder the old people think that their children are all debts. Wasn't the ancient Yao a debt that she wanted to be repaid?

Gu Shiyao choked, but still said unwillingly: "I don't want Gu Shichu to know about my experience. She will definitely gloat over my misfortune..."
