Chapter 89 My dear concubine, are you willing?
"Although I have no choice but to make Gu Huan my concubine, I will marry her according to the rules for a legitimate wife."
Mu Junyan's words made Wang's face look better.
After all, the family background of Duke Yong was too high, and the illegitimate daughter of the Gu family could not be his legal wife.
Gu Yuan was overjoyed: "Then our two families will become even closer."
After sending Mu Junyan away, the Gu family was in an uproar. They never expected that the most inconspicuous second daughter of the Gu family would suddenly rise to the top and become a phoenix.
Gu Yuan was ecstatic: "I never thought that both of my daughters would marry into the Yongguogong Mansion. I never thought that Huan'er would be so successful that the Yongguogong would fall in love with her!"
Aunt Pei snorted coldly: "It's just a toy to please men with your beauty. What's there to be happy about?"
"Pei!"
Wang couldn't stand it any longer and angrily scolded: "Are you her biological mother? How can you speak so harshly and viciously! The Duke of Yong said that he would marry her as a concubine with the standard of a wife. She has the dignity!"
Aunt Pei smiled with a fake smile: "It is precisely because I am her biological mother that I know her strengths and weaknesses. It's ok for her to feel lowly, but just don't get in the way of the eldest lady and the young lady's affairs."
Whenever Wang heard her talking about her daughter, she always had a strange feeling.
Aunt Pei was usually arrogant and domineering, and never took her, the mistress of the house, seriously. But strangely, she always sent her own daughter to be stepped on by the legitimate daughter.
But since it involved her own daughter, Wang didn't say anything else.
Thinking of that poor child Gu Huan, Wang's heart softened a little and she ordered, "Pei, prepare a dowry for Gu Huan according to the rules for the marriage of a legitimate daughter in the mansion."
Aunt Pei screamed: "She is a concubine's daughter, how can she deserve the same dowry as the legitimate daughter?"
Wang simply could not understand why Aunt Pei was so cruel to Gu Huan.
She turned her head and looked at Gu Yuan: "My Lord, Gu Huan is marrying the Duke of Yong. You see, the Duke of Yong gave a dowry based on the principal wife. If we don't give a comparable dowry, what if the Duke of Yong misunderstands that we are not giving him face? There is no reason for the son's dowry to be less than the father's, right?"
Gu Yuan originally agreed with Aunt Pei's opinion that there was no need to spend too much money to marry off a concubine's daughter as a concubine.
But after hearing what Wang said, she agreed with him: "Madam is really thoughtful. Pei, compare the dowry you prepared for Huan'er with Ru'er's, and don't leave anything out."
Aunt Pei rolled her eyes.
She, Ruer, brought a huge dowry to marry Mu An, and almost used up most of her own dowry.
Wang actually wanted her to give so much to the little bitch. What a wishful thinking.
Aunt Pei drooped her face and spread her hands: "My Lord, please look at the account book at home. There is no way we can afford such a large dowry. How about asking Madam to use her own dowry to supplement it? When the eldest daughter got married, most of the dowry was supplemented by my dowry."
Aunt Pei was very proud. She said that the Marquis married Wang because she didn't have much dowry.
Those who have no money have no right to speak.
Wang was so angry that her face turned blue.
But when it comes to money, she becomes breathless.
"As the legitimate mother, I naturally have to add some makeup to the girl."
Gu Yuan looked at Aunt Pei for the sake of his dignity and said, "Mrs. Pei, if you don't have enough dowry for Huan'er, then give all the shops in your dowry to Huan'er."
Aunt Pei was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
Doesn’t her dowry shop support the Gu family?
Otherwise, how could Wang still maintain her position as the Marquis’ wife?
Gu Huan had no idea that the Gu Mansion was in chaos, and had no idea what everyone in Yongguo Kilometer was busy with.
I just felt that red silk and red lanterns were hung everywhere in the house, and it was full of joy.
Looking at this scene, isn’t this marrying a wife?
Gu Huan was feeling a little gloomy.
Late at night, when everyone was asleep, the golden sunflower came quietly.
"Second Miss, the eldest lady and her husband have an appointment with the godson of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to meet at Yichun Courtyard tomorrow."
Gu Huan immediately perked up; the time of their meeting was exactly the same as last time.
“Who do they take to serve?”
"It's just me and Biyu."
jasper!
They actually chose Jasper.
Biyu has served Mu An since she was a child and has been loyal to him wholeheartedly. Yet they actually gave her to that pervert as a plaything?
But that's like them.
Gu Huan was both excited and anxious.
The excitement was because Gu Wanru and Mu An had reconciled over the issue of winter military supplies and had started to take action. As long as they move, she will have the opportunity to cut off the source of the problem.
What makes me anxious is whether Yinzhi is willing to tell the truth and whether she can recognize her mother.
Gu Huan hadn't seen Mu Junyan for the whole day and wanted to find someone to look for Chi Yan, but she didn't dare to move for fear of annoying others.
Seeing that he is about to get married, he will definitely not help her like that in the future.
It was late at night and Gu Huan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Suddenly, a dark shadow blocked the moonlight that was filtering through the wooden window into the house. Gu Huan was so frightened that she almost screamed.
When the person came closer, he smelled a familiar and refreshing scent.
It’s Mu Junyan.
He had never set foot in Yayun Pavilion, let alone now it was late at night.
Gu Huan quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.
She hadn't seen him since she came back from the palace. She was feeling uneasy and couldn't figure out what position she held in his heart.
When the man stood in front of her bed, Gu Huan wanted to test him.
The man stood beside the bed for a long time. Gu Huan felt a strong pressure and her body moved slightly involuntarily.
Mu Junyan was also possessed by some strange force.
He even had the impulse to marry her as a concubine, and in order to make her more respectable, he went to Gu's house in person to propose marriage and offer betrothal gifts.
He didn't know whether he was doing the right thing or not.
It was already late at night when he returned home after finishing his work, but he couldn't help but come to see if she was feeling better.
He ordered that she must not be told that he was planning to hold a wedding banquet for a concubine because he felt a little regretful.
What if it was just his wishful thinking?
Wouldn't that harm the little girl?
Mu Junyan slowly sat down beside the bed and reached out to stroke her cheek.
It made her feel itchy. Gu Huan couldn't help but move and whispered, "Donghua, I'm thirsty. Pour me a glass of water."
Mu Junyan's hand stopped in mid-air and he looked at her in surprise. The girl still squinted her eyes and swallowed saliva up and down her throat, looking really thirsty.
Mu Junyan saw the teapot warmed by a small charcoal stove on the coffee table in the moonlight, and poured a cup to her mouth.
Gu Huan half-propped herself up and drank from his hand in small sips.
Mu Junyan watched the hair on her temples slide into the cup, and naturally reached out his hand to lift it up and wrap it around her earlobe.
The touch of his fingertips made her unable to pretend any longer. She looked up in astonishment and said, "Duke, why are you here?"
"Finish drinking." Mu Junyan said calmly.
Gu Huan reached out to take the teacup, but her hand was unable to lift it, so she had to lower her head and continue drinking the tea in the cup.
"Still thirsty?"
"I'm not thirsty anymore." The girl's voice was as thin as a mosquito's hum.
Mu Junyan put down the teacup, sat down beside the bed, and stared at her in the moonlight.
Should I ask her?
If she regained her status as a legitimate daughter, she could marry into a good family as the principal wife.
But if she became his concubine, I'm afraid few families would dare to marry her, even as a concubine.
He somewhat regretted his impulsive decision.
Gu Huan felt a little embarrassed, not knowing whether she should just lie down and sleep, or do something.
To please him?
She couldn't do it in this state of mind.
"you……"
"country……"
They both spoke and shut up at the same time.
They stared at each other quietly in the dark night.
Mu Junyan said: "What do you want to say?"
Gu Huan swallowed her saliva, mustered up her courage and asked softly, "Did the Empress Dowager grant the marriage?"
Mu Junyan raised his eyebrows: "Are you scared?"
Fear?
Sort of.
However, after this period of time, Gu Huan has been able to accept any changes.
As long as she has the courage to try, all roads lead to Bianjing, and there will always be a road she can take.
"Don't worry. The Duke has a legal wife, and there is someone to take care of him. It's good."
Mu Junyan rubbed his fingertips, watching the moonlight fall into the girl's clear eyes, and said carefully: "What if I marry you as my concubine? Are you willing?"
Gu Huan was shocked.
