Chapter 211 Mother and Daughter Break Off Their Relationship
"Oh, then your Huang family is very powerful. Then why did Aunt Huang come to the Yongguo Mansion?"
The pride on Aunt Huang's face suddenly decreased a little, and she looked more respectful: "It's like this. Several of my nephews want to enter the Yingtian Academy in Jiangning Prefecture. Since only officials above the third rank and royal relatives can enter, I would like to ask the second young lady to give them a letter from the Yongguo Mansion so that they can go in to study."
Zhou Zhilan couldn't help but laugh: "Madame Huang, you are so arrogant. But why did our wife give you the letter from Duke Yong?"
"What this girl said is wrong. Our second girl is the daughter of the Gu family, how can we not help the Gu family?"
Gu Huan didn't know whether to laugh or just kick the person out.
"As far as I know, Yingtian Academy not only accepts children of the royal family, but also children of poor families. As long as they pass the exam, they will be accepted. Even if you have a letter from the Yongguo Mansion, it will not work. We are not royal relatives, and our husbands died in the war. We only have the title, but no one."
Aunt Huang said with a smile: "Second Miss, you are now the Queen's goddaughter, and you have been granted an imperial decree, and you are pregnant with a young prince. Yingtian Academy will definitely give you some face."
Gu Huan smiled faintly, picked up the teacup, lifted the lid and gently brushed away the tea foam.
"Aunt Huang, I am a married daughter, so it is inconvenient for me to help the Gu family anymore. Please go back and don't mention this matter again."
Aunt Huang was stunned, she frowned and glanced at Gu Huan, knowing that she was not joking, her face suddenly darkened.
His tone cooled, "Originally, the two brothers Jinwen and Ruiwen were also planning to enter the Imperial College in Shangjing. The mansion didn't have any tuition to provide for them, so I had to use my dowry to supplement them. Since the second young lady is unwilling to help, they don't have to go to the Imperial College anymore."
knock!
Gu Huan slammed the lid of her teacup shut.
He said coldly, "Send the guest away."
"Aunt Huang, please come in." Donghua frowned and made a gesture of invitation.
Watching Aunt Huang leave angrily, Zhou Zhilan sat down on the chair next to Gu Huan, speechless.
"What kind of women did Lord Gu marry? They are all of the same character."
Zhou Zhilan finished her babble and suddenly realized she had made a mistake. She said hurriedly, "I'm sorry, he is your father after all."
"He is not my father."
Gu Huan put down the teacup: "I was going to break up the engagement, but I didn't have time to do it before. Now is the time."
Zhou Zhilan's eyes widened: "What are you going to do?"
Gu Huan smiled faintly: "Do you know who this Aunt Huang is who acted as a matchmaker for Gu Yuan?"
"who?"
"Prince Jiang." "Ah?"
Chiyu had already found out all the details about Aunt Huang.
Gu Huan shook her head helplessly: "I guess the Jiang family thinks that I can still be controlled by the Gu family. The Huang family of Jiangning Prefecture pays a lot of tribute to the Jiang family every year. The porcelain and tea entering the palace all pass through the Jiang family."
Zhou Zhilan frowned: "It's really disgusting. When are you going to deal with this matter?"
"Three days later. I have already sent invitations to the elders of the Wang and Gu clans of Langya."
Three days later.
Gu Huan was wearing a white satin skirt and a black fox cloak. She sat in the Duke of Yong's exclusive carriage and arrived at the Marquis of Wenchang's Mansion with a group of people.
The elders of the Wang family and the Gu family arrived early in the morning. This time their expressions were completely different from last time. They all greeted guests with smiles and were very respectful.
This time, not only Wang Heng came, but also the patriarch of the Wang family came in person.
Among those present, Gu Huan had the highest rank and status. After greeting everyone one by one, they sat down in turn.
Gu Yuan also had a proud expression on his face.
Wang Linyi sat aside, staring at Gu Huan with red eyes and clenched her hands nervously.
After the brothers Gu Ruiwen and Gu Jinwen saluted Gu Huan, they stood obediently on both sides of Wang Linyi, looking at Gu Huan with eager eyes.
Gu Huan's heart softened and she smiled at the three of them.
The head of the Gu clan was the first to ask, "Why did the Duke's wife invite us here?"
Gu Huan didn't waste any time and said directly, "There are two reasons why I invited you all here today. One is that my mother wants to divorce, and the other is that my mother and I have voluntarily asked to leave the clan and set up a new female household. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Gu family, my mother, and the Wang family!"
"What!"
"presumptuous!"
“Nonsense!”
Everyone in the room exclaimed in unison and stood up quickly.
Everyone's eyes almost popped out as they looked at the gentle woman sitting at the top in disbelief.
Zhou Zhilan, Dong Mo and others immediately protected Gu Huan to prevent anyone from taking the wrong medicine and daring to attack their wives.
Gu Huan is not afraid of them.
Today, she came to settle the accounts and brought a hundred people with her.
All of them are capable of fighting.
The people brought by Gu and Wang and the people from Wenchang Marquis’ Mansion have all been controlled.
Wang Heng's face turned dark. He was the highest-ranking official here and was also the candidate for the next head of the Wang family, so he stood up immediately.
"Gu Huan, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you are the principal wife! Even if you are the wife of Duke Yong, you still have to abide by the law! You are being unfilial! And you are trying to drag my sister into being unfaithful to her husband!"
Gu Huan glanced at him and said, "I heard that Lord Wang's evaluation grade at the end of this year was second-class, so your wish to be promoted from third-rank to full-rank has become a bubble, right? Shouldn't the head of the Imperial Academy know the law best? Have you forgotten that the law also says that if a father is unkind, the son can be unfilial, and if a husband kills his favorite concubine and destroys his wife, the wife can divorce him?"
Wang Heng's face suddenly turned colorful, and he was so angry that a mouthful of blood got stuck in his throat.
The Gu clan leader had experienced Gu Huan's power last time. Now that she has risen to the top and turned into a phoenix, they feel that they have no way to fight against her.
Gu Yuan's face turned blue with anger, and he and the clan leader poked each other in the arm and waist, but neither of them was willing to speak first.
They are afraid of losing face.
The Wang clan leader remained calm and said calmly, "Little girl, you want to fly away relying on your dead husband before your feathers have fully grown? You are a junior and have no right to intervene in your mother's affairs. The Wang clan will take care of her affairs."
The head of the Wang family looked at Wang, who was trembling with nervousness, and said, "Wang, why do you want to divorce? Is it because Lord Gu is not satisfied with you? Don't be afraid. Tell us and we will mediate between you and Lord Gu. Lord Gu is very understanding and will naturally understand and forgive you."
Make peace?
Gu Huan and Wang Linyi exchanged glances.
Wang Linyi shuddered.
She knew that Gu Huan didn't like her being cowardly.
If she didn't take the opportunity to get rid of the Gu family, she wouldn't know how she died.
Moreover, even if she died, her two children would not have a good ending.
The newly married Huang took advantage of her generous dowry to seize the housekeeper's power, and she lived in darkness every day.
Wang Linyi stood up, walked over, knelt down in front of everyone, and kowtowed solemnly to everyone.
"Gu Yuan knew it when the sinner Aunt Pei poisoned me. Now, he and his new concubine Huang are poisoning me again."
Everyone in the room fell silent after hearing this.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Gu Yuan suddenly jumped up, pointed at her nose and cursed: "You useless fool! When did I poison you? Do you have any evidence?"
"evidence?"
Gu Huan suddenly chuckled.
But it was enough for everyone in the room to hear it and look over.
Gu Huan's face darkened, and she straightened her back: "I don't have time to waste with you. I will gather all the evidence for you. You can decide for yourself whether to solve the problem behind closed doors or go to Kaifeng Prefecture and let the government solve it!"
She looked at Dong Mo: "Let Chiyu bring all the people in!"
When the people from the Wang and Gu clans saw the crowds of people being escorted in, their faces all changed.
