Chapter 161 Have you ever thought about getting married again?
"I want to wait for a while. The capital of Yue State is dull and boring. But recently, I found an interesting person. I might as well observe him."
Xuanyuan Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at his confused subordinates and smiled: "Besides, isn't the court of Qi in chaos right now? It's okay to wait until the last moment to go back."
Yin Miaoyin and Gu Siqing lived together in the prime minister's residence, so they sent the other two noble ladies in the car back to the residence first.
When the carriage passed through the market, Gu Siqing saw a stall selling many snacks of different flavors, so he asked someone to stop the car and bought a few to take back together with the snacks from Zuixianlou.
"I heard that the noble lady from another mansion came to look for you and Miaoyin to go out and play, and she just came back now. Where did you go?" Yin Yaoxin was taking a nap in the house. When she heard the servant say that the young lady had arrived, she immediately came over to check on her daughter.
Gu Siqing put the food he brought back on the table and handed a fried dough cake to his mother.
"You said before that you like oily food, so I saw it on the street and bought it for you."
Yin Yaoxin took the fried cake and ate it with relish. Gu Siqing looked at her mother, who was dressed elegantly and happily eating the snacks she brought back with a very satisfied look on her face, and her mood calmed down as well.
"The noble ladies Miaoyin is friends with are all gentle and approachable. They said at the banquet that they wanted to visit my shop. Today they really came. I took them to Ruyi Pavilion to pick out some jewelry."
Yin Yaoxin would listen carefully to whatever she said. Seeing the oil on the corners of her mother's mouth, Gu Siqing laughed and took out a handkerchief to help her wipe it clean.
"After choosing the jewelry, they all wanted to go shopping, so we went to Zuixianlou to listen to books and eat some delicious snacks. My daughter also brought some for her mother, but we will have dinner soon, so we can't eat too much snacks."
She smiled and told her what she had done today, and Yin Yaoxin listened to her with a smile.
There was no sunlight outside the window, because it was winter and the sunset was rarely seen in the evening. Sitting in the house, even though there was no sunlight, Gu Siqing had never felt that everything in front of her was so bright.
Gu Siqing thought to herself that she was so stupid for not being able to protect her mother in her previous life. Fortunately, this life was different from her previous life, and she had the opportunity to change everything.
After eating the last piece of cake in his hand, Gu Siqing finished telling her about what happened today. Yin Yaoxin wiped her hands with a handkerchief and looked at her daughter with some hesitation.
"Mom, what do you want to say?" Now that he is accompanying his mother wholeheartedly, Gu Siqing can easily detect the subtle changes in his mother's emotions.
"My daughter, have you ever thought about starting a family again?" Yin Yaoxin wanted to ask her after her daughter divorced the prince, but she had never found the right time to ask.
Gu Siqing was playing with the teacup in his hand. Hearing this, he paused and a feeling of resistance flashed through his heart. After thinking for a while, he sat up straight and looked at his mother.
"I won't hide it from you, I no longer have any thoughts about getting married. Firstly, I don't have anyone I like, and secondly, there's no need to force myself into a couple with someone and make myself unhappy."
Seeing the worry in Yin Yaoxin's eyes, Gu Siqing continued, "If mother is afraid that someone will criticize her daughter, just announce to the public that she is no older than fifteen. If she says she is younger, no one will say anything."
"But people will grow up eventually. You are your father's granddaughter. As long as you are related to the Prime Minister's Mansion, there will be many people coming to invite you after you come of age." Yin Yaoxin could see that her daughter was unwilling, but marriage is a major event that involves many people.
"Who knows, in a few years, my daughter will meet a man who is right for her. If she doesn't meet one now, she can wait. Marriage is a big deal, there is no need to rush. After all, my daughter doesn't need to rely on anyone to survive."
Gu Siqing spread her hands. As for the matter of marriage, if it could make her mother feel at ease, she would have no problem marrying someone she liked.
My daughter has always had her own ideas. Yin Yaoxin felt heartbroken when she thought of her daughter's marriage to the prince. Although she was still a little worried about her daughter, she felt relieved after thinking about it and just went along with her daughter's ideas.
"Okay, whatever you want." The woman held her daughter's hand and sighed deeply.
After talking to her mother, Gu Siqing returned to her residence and asked Huasheng to go out and help her find out some information.
Zhou Mansion and Zhou Baili in the Marquis Mansion are still fine. Her revenge plan is only one step away. After dealing with these people, she can let go of the hatred in her heart. If Zhou Baili really becomes the Crown Prince's Consort in the future, it will always be a trouble for the two of them to be in the capital.
She had trusted spies in both governments. She only needed to find out some information and promise money to win their hearts.
Peanut is bold and careful, especially when it comes to things like getting information, she always does it in a natural and unpretentious way.
Gu Siqing had expressed some emotion before, saying that it was a pity that Huasheng was not a man and could not be a spy to gather information.
When Peanut came back from outside, Gu Siqing had just finished taking a shower and changed his clothes. He changed into pajamas and lay on the bed ready to go to sleep.
"What's going on in the Zhou Mansion and the Hou Mansion?" Seeing that it was Huasheng who came back, Gu Siqing raised her eyes and asked lazily. She liked furry things. After winter, she would put a rabbit fur hand on the pillow and usually love to hug and rub against it, like a cat.
"There is no big movement in the two governments, but there is other news." When Peanut approached, he still had a chill on his body.
Gu Siqing took out the hot water bottle that he had put in his bed to keep warm, stuffed it into Peanut's hand, and asked curiously, "Tell me about it."
"The Zhang Mansion had an obituary, and when I went to look for the people you had arranged with the Zhou Mansion and the Hou Mansion, I happened to run into the person who was delivering the message from the Zhang Mansion."
Peanut's expression was serious. Gu Siqing was stunned for a moment. He didn't immediately think of which Zhang Mansion it was.
She went through all the people she knew in the capital in her mind, and couldn't remember where the Zhang Mansion came from.
"It's normal that the master can't remember. Master Zhang of the Zhang Mansion is the one who took Miss Zhou Qianqian as his concubine. Today, the servants of the Zhang Mansion delivered the obituary, saying that Miss Zhou had died. It has only been a few days, and she is gone just like that."
Even though Zhou Qianqian had poisoned her master, the person was dead and Huasheng still couldn't talk about it to Huan Tianxi.
In the previous life, there was no such thing as Zhou Qianqian marrying Master Zhang. After hearing what Huasheng said, Gu Siqing started to speak and murmured, "Zhou Qianqian? It's her."
Oh, it's true that evil will be punished by evil. In the previous life, Zhou Qianqian and her daughter lived a life of luxury by stepping on their own flesh and blood. In this life, they inevitably paid the price for their greed.
"I went to ask around secretly and heard that Aunt Zhou died in her own room. When she was found, there was not a single piece of healthy skin on her body. Everyone knows what kind of person Mr. Zhang is, but the matter was not glorious, so they told the public that she died of illness."
