Chapter 412 Take Two Liang
The people present were so shocked by him that they almost fit an egg in their mouths.
They all looked at the Gu family in silence.
This Gu family...why are their family customs and preferences so strange? Is it a tradition that they like maids? And they are all maids around my fiancée!
This grass beside the nest...isn’t it especially fresh and delicious?
Madam Gu almost vomited blood again, "Gu Shao, are you crazy? You want to marry a maid? And one from your fiancée's side! Change it! Change it!"
Gu Shao closed his eyes and looked at death with indifference: "I will not change! Grandmother... This is an imperial decree, how can we treat it as a joke..."
"No--"
What a sin! Madam Gu felt as if the sky had fallen down, her vision went dark, and she fainted completely.
"Madam! Madam..." The servants of the Gu family hurriedly supported her.
Empress Dowager Shen coughed dryly and said calmly: "Your Ningguo Marquis Mansion is really... of the same lineage. Anyway... it seems that the late emperor did a great thing."
Otherwise, it would be another cycle of Gu's father, Que and Mei.
Empress Dowager Shen said, "Okay, now that the issue of succession has been resolved, let's all go back! Yu Kang, have someone send Madam Gu back."
"yes."
Old Madam Gu was carried away by the eunuchs, and Li Jiaojiao and the Duke of Pingguo and his wife also left in a daze.
Only then did Shen Manman hug Empress Dowager Shen’s arm: “Thank you, aunt.”
"You..." Empress Dowager Shen pinched her nose lovingly, then looked at Shen Zhiyan and Ye Caiping: "In a few days, you will return to Nanzhou, so be prepared."
Shen Zhiyan nodded: "It has been arranged."
Empress Dowager Shen was full of reluctance, but as long as she thought that one year later, Shen Zhiyan would stay in the capital for a long time, her mood would improve.
......
After leaving the Imperial Garden, Duke Ping glared at the Duke's wife and Li Jiaojiao angrily:
"What Marquis? Bah! Now he has nothing! All the efforts I have put into him these past few days are in vain. He was given a dowry of 10,000 taels, and 100 taels is too much."
"Shut up!" The Duke's wife said angrily, "The dowry is mine, you can give me as much as you want."
"Hmph!" Duke Ping waved his sleeves and turned to leave.
Li Jiaojiao felt like she had lost her soul, with mixed emotions.
She was stunned: "Mother... What should I do? What should I do now?"
Lady Pingguo said, "You don't have to have a title. As long as you have a rich family, you can live a good life. In the future, if your descendants work hard for the imperial examinations and have the support of Ningguo Marquis's Mansion, they will definitely be able to serve as officials in the court."
Li Jiaojiao's face turned pale. She remembered the verdict of the cheating case. Her descendants would not be able to take the imperial examinations...
The Duke's wife said, "Anyway...we have to talk to Madam Gu tomorrow. Now that the title is gone, we must get more of the family property. Didn't she say that she would compensate Gu Han well?"
Li Jiaojiao nodded blankly.
When I returned to Duke Ping's Mansion, I didn't see Gu Han.
Lady Pingguogong had no choice but to send people to look for him. After searching for a long time, they found Gu Han in a tavern.
Gu Han was drunk, so they had to carry him back first and then go to Gu’s house to argue after he sobered up.
......
Because the incident of Gu Shen poisoning his own children had caused such a big uproar, the entire capital was waiting for the verdict, hoping that Gu Han could regain his title of marquis.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared and the title of marquis was passed to his nephew Gu Shao.
Just when everyone felt sorry for Gu Han, the official quickly gave the reason:
Gu Han had been in jail before. When he learned that Ye Shuren had grown yellow-heart cassava, he stole the cassava in an attempt to take away the credit for Ye Shuren's achievement.
This father and son are really...Eldest brother, don't laugh at second brother, it's the same for you.
Therefore, Marquis Gu Han could not blame anyone else for his fall from power.
Just when everyone thought that all the news had been told, Gu Shao, the newly appointed Prince of Ningguo, brought some fresh and shocking news to celebrate his success in taking the throne and gave back to new and old listeners.
Everyone was only paying attention to the case of Gu Shen murdering his son, and almost forgot about the engagement between the Ningguo Marquis' son and Miss Shen.
Now that the crown prince has been replaced, the person he likes should be someone else.
What Gu Shao wrote was... Zhao Ruying.
Everyone in Beijing: I don’t know him!
The next second: Oh my god, it turns out Gu Shao has a fiancée named Pang Xueer.
The next second: Oh my god, Zhao Ruying is Pang Xueer’s personal maid!
This, this, this... What a familiar recipe, familiar taste.
Anyway, the common people and nobles in the capital were all speechless and could only sigh: What a great family tradition the Ningguo Marquis’ Mansion has!
Pang Xueer's father is the current Minister of Works and is quite famous in the capital. When he heard about this, he was so angry that he almost exploded.
He wanted to rush to Gu's house, grab Gu Shao and give him a few slaps in the face.
But after all, it was a marriage granted by the late emperor, so I could only endure it.
Soon, the Pang family responded.
That afternoon, a nanny from the Pang family, accompanied by a dozen servants, arrived at the door of the Gu family, dragging a girl in plain clothes.
The leading nanny said coldly, "Our second young lady Pang Xueer and Gu Shao are an engaged couple. But no matter how careful you are, you can never guard against a thief in your own home. A lowly maid took advantage of the moment when the second young lady was delivering something to her future son-in-law and had an affair with him."
"Now, since the new Ningguo Marquis's son has been granted marriage by the late emperor, the Pang family will not hinder your marriage. From now on, the engagement between my second daughter Pang Xue'er and Gu Shao is over, and the marriage of men and women has nothing to do with each other in the future."
The crowd around him clapped their hands when they heard this: "Good!"
Mammy sneered, "Hand it over, this is your prince's wife."
As she spoke, the nanny pushed a young girl to the ground.
With a thud, the girl fell to the ground.
She was wearing a thin white undershirt and was shivering with cold. She didn't even have a bag.
At this time, Gu Shao ran out from the gate and saw his beloved woman in such a mess. He hurried over to help her: "Ruying..."
"Third Young Master... woooo..." Zhao Ruying cried and trembled in his arms.
The nanny got angry when she saw this and threw a piece of paper on the ground: "Here, take it, this is her indenture. I'll give you two taels of silver. You're welcome."
The onlookers chuckled: "This prince's wife is so cheap."
"Why is it so cheap? It would cost at least ten taels to buy a maid with healthy hands and feet. After all, it would cost more than two taels to raise a person."
The nanny said, "Oh, when we went to the pawnbroker to pick her out, she was nearly dying of illness, and the pawnbroker didn't care about her anymore. My second young lady felt sorry for her, and thought that if we didn't buy her, she would have no chance of survival. The second young lady couldn't bear it, so she spent two taels of silver to buy this sick girl."
"Master Gu, we don't want the money she spent on her medical treatment over the years. Please take the two taels. You're welcome."
