Chapter 37 Seizing the Stewardship

“Although the marriage was granted by His Majesty, I swear here that after marrying into the Luo family, I will actively maintain the relationship between the two families.

The Luo Mansion is now at its peak. If the Luo family is willing to help, they can definitely resolve the crisis of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Moreover, Xi'er has now gained the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If anything happens in the future, perhaps His Royal Highness will show some leniency."

Gu Jingchun knelt down as he spoke.

"I hope that father will see that I am wholeheartedly concerned about the Marquisate and seek justice for me and your grandson!"

Gu Jingchun knew that the brief encounter between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Gu Jinxi would not have any impact on the future of the Yong'an Marquisate.

But it can give Gu Jinxi an extra weight.

Upon hearing this, Gu Weiang looked at Gu Jingchun who was kneeling on the ground.

The emperor's marriage arrangement today was beyond his expectations.

Gu Jingchun was right. Shangshu Luo now enjoyed the emperor's trust. If he could negotiate for the Yong'an Marquisate, it would certainly be beneficial to the Marquisate.

and……

Gu Weiang looked at Gu Jingchun.

This girl has a pretty face, and as a man, he believes that after she marries into the Luo family, she will be able to win over Luo Ziqian's people.

By then, if she could leave a boy or girl for the Luo family, then the Luo family would be completely tied to the Marquis' Mansion.

When Gu Weiang thought of this, he already had a plan in mind.

After all, she was his own daughter, and he felt a little distressed when he saw the tears on Gu Jingchun's face.

He sighed lightly and walked forward to help Gu Jingchun up.

"Don't worry, this is your mother's fault. I will never forgive her and will definitely give you an explanation."

Gu Jingchun nodded, expressed his respect for the Marquis' Mansion, and then turned and left.

When she returned to her own courtyard, within two cups of tea, she heard that Gu Weiang had handed over the power of housekeeper and all the keys to Aunt Lan.

For this reason, Chu Qianlan was so angry that she smashed everything in the room and started making a big fuss.

In the end, Gu Weiang locked him up in the Buddhist temple, and only then did he calm down.

There are two concubines in the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion.

They are Aunt Fang and Aunt Lan.

Chu Qianlan and Gu Weiang were childhood sweethearts. They grew up together and got married naturally when they became adults.

After getting married, the relationship between the two has always been very good.

Chu Qianlan did not hesitate to follow Gu Wei'ang to the battlefield for his sake, and even personally blocked an arrow for him to save him, almost losing her life.

Therefore, Gu Weiang also promised to be together for the rest of his life and never take a concubine.

Afterwards, Chu Qianlan gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and devoted herself to managing the affairs of the mansion.

She also knew that she was not very smart, so she never asked about Gu Weiang's affairs.

But as time passed, Gu Wei'ang returned from a great victory and brought back a beautiful woman.

That is now Aunt Lan.

It is said that he was the orphan of a colleague on the battlefield. He was born weak, but he risked his life to block the sword for Gu Weiang.

Although she was not successful, she still made Gu Wei'ang look at her with new eyes. That was why he took good care of her and doted on her very much.

When Chu Qianlan heard the news, she was furious and made a scene.

However, her actions not only did not change anything, but made Gu Weiang lose patience with her even more, and he spoke harshly to her many times.

Later, Chu Qianlan saw that Gu Weiang was unusually fond of Aunt Lan.

Aunt Lan's status in the Marquis's Mansion became increasingly higher, and she made her suffer many setbacks.

Chu Qianlan felt threatened, so she simply wiped away her tears, bought Concubine Fang from outside, trained her well, and promoted her to a concubine. Only then did she manage to turn the situation around.

Over the years, the constant fighting between the two concubines has stabilized Chu Qianlan's position.

However, despite her every precaution, Aunt Lan still gave birth to a bastard seven years ago, which made Chu Qianlan grit her teeth in hatred, but because Gu Weiang liked him very much, she could do nothing about it.

And now, Gu Weiang was actually going to hand over the housekeeping power that she had always been proud of and which represented her status to Aunt Lan.

This was more painful for Chu Qianlan than killing her.

Gu Jingchun wanted her to experience the pain of loss little by little.

Take your time, there is still a lot of time.

She picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, smiled with satisfaction, and then looked at Xiaoman.

"Go ahead, go and vent your anger yourself.

However, you have to be careful.

She is my mother after all, I can’t scare her to death now.”

Xiaoman nodded when she heard that, and immediately went to prepare happily.

It was because of Chu Qianlan that she was so nervous today and almost caused something to happen to the young master.

She will settle this account with her today.

That night, bursts of screams came from the yard where Chu Qianlan was, one after another, and lasted for a long time.

Early the next morning, Chu Qianlan, who was in solitary confinement, screamed and called for help, saying that there was a ghost.

But the people who came checked around and around and found nothing abnormal.

The next day, Chu Qianlan called many servants to sleep together.

But it was still the same at night, and the screams of the servants made the whole yard even more terrifying.

This went on for half a month. Chu Qianlan was tortured to the point of being emaciated and his face looked as ugly as a ghost.

Finally, one night she was frightened again. She couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out of the room with a broom. Finally, she was knocked down by the threshold and fell directly there, completely fainting.

After this day, Chu Qianlan fell ill due to days of shock and anger.

And this illness lasted for a month.

Of course, this is all in the past.

And on the other side at this time.

“Snap—”

An exquisite vase was thrown to the ground with a loud noise, which frightened the maid Bai Lu so much that she immediately took a step back and knelt down, lowering her head, fearing that she would get into trouble.

"What a useless piece of trash!"

"As the wife of a marquis, she even had her housekeeper rights taken away by someone else. How stupid!"

"Then what will I do in the future? Do I really have to marry that Third Prince?"

Bai Lu lowered her head and explained in a low voice.

"Miss, please calm down. Madam has no other choice. The eldest lady is really too cunning. She usually pretends to be innocent, but I didn't expect that she is so cunning behind the scenes!"

“Bang!”

Another cup fell to the ground, and the fragments splashed and scratched Bai Lu's face, and blood appeared instantly.

"I don't know this yet? Do I need you to remind me?"

Gu Yunjin shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Nansheng's voice came in.

"Who has made our young lady angry again?"

"Brother Sheng."

When Gu Yunjin heard the voice, she immediately stood up and threw herself into his arms.

"Brother Sheng, you are finally here."

Gu Nansheng glanced at Bai Lu who was kneeling on the ground.

"Did this girl make you angry again?"

Gu Yunjin came out of Gu Nansheng's arms, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then said:

"This girl was so clumsy that she broke my favorite vase. I couldn't help but say a few words to her, and she actually had the nerve to talk back."
