Chapter 33
He was so angry that he was shaking all over.
"Madam, Yue'er is just a wild girl who grew up outside! She doesn't know any etiquette, and she won't bring any benefits to us. She is marrying up to the Shangshu Mansion! But Qingqing is different. Qingqing grew up in the Marquis' Mansion since she was a child. She is a rich and beautiful woman, and she is also on good terms with the prince. In the future, she will marry the prince and become the crown princess, and may even become the future empress! I am the father-in-law of the country!"
Gu Rong slapped him without hesitation.
"Ye Bojian, I won't stop you if you want to be the father-in-law of the country! But what does this have to do with marrying Yue'er to Zheng Shaoling? I understand that you have ambitions, but I can't let you harm my Yue'er!"
Ye Bojian is so hypocritical. He wanted to climb up the social ladder, he wanted to be the father-in-law of the emperor
, there was nothing wrong with that, after all, it would be strange if a man had no ambition at all! But he became the father-in-law of the emperor because of Ye Qingqing, he just tried hard to get Ye Qingqing to marry the prince! Why did he marry Ye Jingyue to Zheng Shaoling, a waste known to the whole city ? The Shangshu Mansion was obviously a pit of fire! And Gu Rong had clearly refused to marry Ye Jingyue to Zheng Shaoling. Ye Bojian still stamped the marriage certificate! She really didn't expect him to be so shameless! Ye Bojian covered his beaten face, a sinister look flashed across his face. He had been beaten by Gu Rong one after another in the past few days, and his temper could no longer be suppressed. "Madam, I think you have forgotten that this is the Marquis' Mansion, and I have the final say! Yue'er is my daughter, and I can marry her to whomever I want! You are my wife, and I am your husband, and you should listen to me!" Ye Bojian glared at Gu Rong fiercely: "I don't agree with Qingqing's marriage, and Yue'er must marry Zheng Shaoling!" The Marquis's surname is Ye! Not Gu! Everything is up to him! When the situation was tense, a sharp voice came from the door. "The imperial edict has arrived!" Gu Rong smiled at Ye Bojian who heard the imperial edict coming to the door. "Marquis, you are wrong, this Marquis' Mansion is not yours to decide. Under the feet of the emperor, everything is decided by His Majesty!" Ye Bojian was shocked. "What do you mean?" It can't be what he thought it was . The eunuch who delivered the edict had already walked in and raised the imperial edict directly. Two servants came in and helped Ye Bojian to kneel down. Gu Rong also knelt down . "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor has decreed that the Marquis of Cheng'en and his wife should come to the palace to see the Emperor! Receive the decree!" Ye Bojian was shaking with pain all over his body, and his heart was shaking too. "Your servant receives the decree..." "Your servant receives the decree!" Compared to Ye Bojian's nervousness and fear, Gu Rong was much calmer. The eunuch who announced the decree gave the decree to Ye Bojian and said coldly: "Marquis of Cheng'en, let's go." "Yes..." Ye Bojian was trembling and was helped up by the servants. He staggered and trembled and went out and got on the carriage. Because the injury on his buttocks was too serious, he could not sit in the carriage and could only lie down. His image was very bad. Gu Rong sat far away at the other end of the carriage with an indifferent look on his face. Ye Bojian asked, "Madam, did you do something that made His Majesty summon me to the palace?" Gu Rong glanced at him coldly. "You are the Marquis of Cheng'en, the master of the Marquis' Mansion. You have the final say in everything in the Marquis' Mansion. If you want to marry Yue'er to Zheng Shaoling, that loser, then you can do it. As a woman, I can't persuade you. But I am a mother, and I will not let my daughter marry into a wolf's den. So I asked my brother, the Duke of Zhenguo, to go to the palace to file a complaint against you!" "You sue me..." Ye Bojian almost jumped up. But his injury did not allow it. Whenever Ye Bojian thought about going to the palace to see the bloodthirsty and cruel Majesty, he trembled in his heart. He was so arrogant in the mansion just now, but now he was completely arrogant, without any arrogance at all. "Madam, why are you so reckless? If there is something you can't discuss properly, why do you have to go to His Majesty to complain? Do you know that this will anger His Majesty?" His Majesty has been crazy since the murder of the previous queen. He kills people for a disagreement. His life may be in danger on this trip to the palace! How could he not be afraid? Gu Rong smiled coldly. "My Lord, now you know to discuss it properly. When Liu Qinglian came to my house yesterday, my attitude should be strong enough and clear enough. I don't agree with this marriage! But what about you, my Lord? Today, the news that Zheng Shaoling was deposed spread all over the imperial city. My Lord, I didn't hear that my Lord knew that Zheng Shaoling was deposed, but he still accepted the marriage. My Lord called this communication." Ye Bojian opened his mouth, not knowing how to respond. It's not that he didn't think that Gu Rong would be angry. But he was the head of the Marquis' Mansion, and when the matter was done, Gu Rong had to agree even if he didn't agree. But he never, never thought that Gu Rong would go to the Duke of Zhenguo and ask the Duke of Zhenguo to complain to His Majesty! You know, anything that involves the person who is high above you is closely related to your life! Now, things are serious! It's over! The carriage drove to the palace gate, and those who came had to get off and walk. Gu Rong got off the car first. Ye Bojian called her from behind: "Madam, help me." Gu Rong ignored him. Ye Bojian was embarrassed and could only ask the driver to help him get off. The eunuch Cao Gonggong, who was standing by, said loudly, "My Lord, the emperor said that you can go in by yourself." Cao Gonggong's eyes fell on Ye Bojian, which made Ye Bojian feel creepy. "Or crawl in."
Ye Bojian shuddered and turned pale.
His Majesty's intention...
made him terrified!
Gu Rong couldn't help but burst out laughing.
This laugh was too abrupt.
Ye Bojian's face turned ashen.
Gu Rong calmly put away the smile on her face and said calmly, "My Lord, let's go."
Ye Bojian didn't hesitate.
His butt was already bruised and his whole body was in pain, especially when walking. He wanted to lie on the ground and not get up.
But he couldn't really crawl into the palace, right?
Then he really wouldn't have to hang around in the court!
He endured the pain of bone grinding and caught up with Gu Rong in front of him, lowering his voice.
"Madam, I know I was wrong. When you see His Majesty later, you must speak well of him for me and ask His Majesty not to blame me."
The closer he got to the palace, the more Ye Bojian felt that his life was in danger.
After all, His Majesty would kill people if he disagreed with him.
Eunuch Cao told him to walk in by himself or crawl in. His tone was like asking for his life!
Gu Rong sneered.
"If the Marquis has the time to beg me, he might as well beg His Majesty. I can't make the decision for His Majesty!"
Ye Bojian was really about to cry.
"Madam, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! I will cancel Yue'er's engagement when I go back. I am a bastard and a scumbag. Please don't be angry, okay? If His Majesty is really angry about this, I will die!"
