Chapter 37
Everyone says that those two years were the darkest time in the imperial city.
But if you think about it carefully, Xiao Ci killed people in cold blood during those two years, and the entire imperial city was flooded with people. He used the death of the previous emperor to eliminate all potential threats.
That's why he is sitting on the throne so firmly now.
It must be said that he is a ruthless person. He took advantage of Xia Muyan's death.
Gu Rong certainly knew that Xiao Ci valued the throne. Which man in this world could resist the temptation of that position?
She said, "His Majesty loves your aunt very much and treats the Gu family well."
"Oh."
[You think he is helping you now because of Xia Muyan's face. If he really loved Xia Muyan that much, he wouldn't have so many sons! Twelve princes! What a bullshit true love!]
[He! He wants both. Now that the situation is stable, he starts thinking about his true love! Under the guise of his true love, he is actually a scumbag!]
Gu Rong's heart trembled, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
It seems... that's indeed the truth!
"Madam..."
Ye Bojian, supported by a servant, caught up with her, glanced at Ye Jingyue, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face, but he suppressed it. He
forced a smile and said to Ye Jingyue: "Yue'er, I am your father. If you need anything in the mansion in the future, just tell your father, and your father will make up for what he owes you."
Ye Jingyue blinked her eyes, looking innocent.
[The scumbag father is so hypocritical! I get goosebumps because of his disgust. I really don't want to talk to him and affect my mood. ]
Seeing that Ye Jingyue ignored him, Ye Bojian was a little angry, but he would not show it.
He could only look at Gu Rong awkwardly.
"Yue'er seems to be quite unfamiliar with us."
The implication is that they are not familiar with each other.
Gu Rong snorted coldly, "Yue'er left us when she was young, and only came back fifteen years later. It's only been a few days since she came back. You know how you treat her, Lord Hou, and you want to marry her to a waste. How can we not be estranged?"
Ye Bojian knew that he was wrong, and quickly admitted his mistake: "Yue'er is my biological daughter after all, how could I harm her? The main thing is that I was also deceived by Minister Zheng at that time..."
Gu Rong found that Ye Bojian really had the ability to say different things to different people.
No wonder she was deceived before!
Gu Rong was too lazy to pay attention to Ye Bojian, and said softly to Ye Jingyue: "Yue'er, mother bought you some cakes, come on, mother will take you to eat."
When Ye Bojian heard that she was leaving, he hurried to pull her.
"Madam, now Yue'er's marriage with the Zheng family is cancelled. Then Qingqing's marriage with the butcher..."
Gu Rong snorted coldly.
"I am not as shameless as the Marquis. I lied to you about Qingqing's marriage with the butcher. It never existed."
She asked someone to forge the marriage certificate.
She didn't like Ye Qingqing, so she naturally had other ways to deal with her.
She wouldn't use such a despicable method.
Of course, if the emperor didn't support her, Ye Bojian would definitely marry Ye Jingyue to Zheng Shaoling. She might lose her bottom line and really put Ye Qingqing into the butcher's family.
Fortunately, she kept her bottom line.
Gu Rong pulled Ye Jingyue to his side and said to Ye Bojian expressionlessly, "Marquis, it was the fault of the Madam to change Yue'er. Just lock her up for a month and let her fast and chant for a month."
Ye Bojian's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Madam, that's my mother!"
His Majesty didn't pursue this matter, so why did Gu Rong pursue it?
Moreover, the Madam probably suffered a lot when she was young, and it was very difficult for her to control her appetite.
If the Madam was forced to eat vegetarian food for a month, she would really make a big fuss in the Marquis' Mansion.
Gu Rong sneered.
"What's the matter, Marquis? Have you forgotten who is in charge of the Marquis' Mansion now? I asked you to give the order to save your face. Are you sure I should go there in person? She has separated us for fifteen years, and you are reluctant to punish her with such a small punishment. You said you would change, but you lied to me."
Ye Bojian's face turned ashen.
He stared blankly at Gu Rong, who was now aggressive. He felt that everything was out of his control.
Finally, he could only grit his teeth.
"I'll go and tell her!"
Gu Rong was satisfied.
"Marquis, you can't pretend to obey and disobey this time. I will have people keep an eye on you. If the lady doesn't fast and chant Buddha's name to reflect on her mistakes in this month, I will go to the palace to ask His Majesty to come and administer justice."
Ye Bojian's face had turned completely black.
Gu Rong did this on purpose!
She completely dispelled his plan to secretly feed her food.
Ye Bojian was really in a state of panic now!
Gu Rong looked at his worried look and was in a good mood.
Gu Rong knew how difficult it was to deal with the Madam, and so did Ye Bojian. She had confined the Madam for a month and couldn't eat meat. Haha, she could make Ye Bojian sleepless and restless.
She wanted to see how long the mother-son relationship between the Madam and Ye Bojian could last without her being the punching bag in the middle.
Facts proved that Gu Rong still thought highly of Ye Bojian.
Ye Bojian knew that the Madam was difficult to deal with, so he didn't go to her yard at all, but sent his servant there.
Is that enough?
No!
Ye Bojian also called Gu Yingxue to take care of the Madam.
Gu Yingxue entered the house, but she didn't come to look for Gu Rong, nor did she go to see her own daughter Ye Qingqing, but went straight to the courtyard of the old lady!
It can be seen that she really loves Ye Bojian!
Gu Rong suddenly wanted to laugh.
The old lady's lover died, and her food was withheld, and she was also imprisoned. This was probably the most frustrated time for her since she became the old lady. It was
the time when she was furious.
It was too obvious what Ye Bojian meant by asking her to come over.
It can be seen how selfish Ye Bojian is.
Jinxiu stood aside, hesitant to speak.
Gu Rong asked her with a smile: "What do you want to say?"
Jinxiu twitched her lips: "Does the second young lady want to be the Marquis's concubine?"
The second young lady Jinxiu mentioned was Gu Yingxue.
Gu Rong sneered: "If she wants to be one, then she can be one."
She gently peeled a chestnut for Ye Jingyue.
"Yue'er, you eat it."
Ye Jingyue obediently accepted her mother's feeding, but she was complaining in her heart.
[Gu Yingxue doesn't want to be a concubine. Her brain is hundreds of years ahead of you! She doesn't marry, her son is raised by someone, her daughter is raised by someone, and my mother raised her to be pure and innocent. 】
【The key is that she doesn't have to take care of a huge mansion, nor does she have to endure the anger of her mother-in-law. She can live freely and unrestrainedly outside. As long as she pretends to be gentle and considerate in front of her father occasionally, she can get her father's love. 】
Gu Rong's heart was empty.
After Ye Jingyue's analysis, Gu Yingxue's life is indeed very happy!
【My father is actually a sucker. Gu Yingxue is a playful person. She has three or five lovers outside. Ye Tianqi is not his child. His scumbag father is simply a green-headed turtle!】
Puff!
Gu Rong couldn't help but spit out!
