The old lady looked at Gu Xingnuo coldly and said, "You still remember to come and see me, your grandmother?"
Gu Xingnuo bowed slightly and said, "It's my fault that I didn't come back to pay my respects to grandma. Grandma, please forgive me this time. Dance e-book"
What do you want the old lady to do now? You haven't even started to scold her yet, but she has already sincerely admitted her mistake. What else can you say?
Gu Xingnuo said, "Ruan Yi from the Ruan family sent me a letter just now. I accepted it and asked someone to bring him here to kowtow to grandma. Fortunately, I was concerned about grandma's health and didn't let him come to disturb her. Grandma, you should take good care of yourself."
What Mr. Gu said sounded nice, but the meaning was very mean. If Ruan Yi didn't come to see you, you would be sick. If Ruan Yi really came to disturb you, wouldn't your illness be more serious, grandma?
The old lady was simply at a loss as to what to do with Young Master Gu. She was choked and speechless.
"Grandma, please take a rest," Gu Xingnuo said, "Sun and I are in the mansion. We will come over anytime if you need anything."
Young Master Gu and Madam Sun bowed to the old lady, took three steps back, turned around and left.
For a moment, no one dared to speak in the old lady's bedroom, and it was completely silent.
After a long while, the old lady finally let out a long breath and said dejectedly to the two maids serving by the bed: "He hates me!"
The two maids could only say nice things to please the old lady. You messed up the family for Ruan Tian. The second and third young masters moved out of the house. Do you still want the eldest young master to pretend that nothing happened? Not to mention the eldest young master, even if the old man came back, you two would have to fight a lawsuit!
The old lady raised her hand to shut up the two women. Who would want to listen to such words that sounded like coaxing? "Go away," the old lady said.
The two maids left with the people serving in the room, and only the old housekeeper who had followed the old lady from the Ruan family and had lived in the Gu family for decades stayed.
"The boss was just lying to me before," the old lady sighed to the housekeeper.
The housekeeper said with a bitter face: "Old Madam, for a young lady from the Ruan family, you have offended all three young masters in the mansion. Why do you do this? Do you still expect the marshal to come back and make the decision for you? Don't you think about it, in the eyes of the marshal, which is more important, the Gu family or the Ruan family? Can the marshal not side with his own children and grandchildren?"
"Tian'er has been driven out of the house by them," the old lady suddenly became emotional and said, "What else do they want from me? Kneel down and admit my mistakes to the three brothers? Can they bear it?!"
The housekeeper looked at the old lady who had aged greatly during this period. How could she be so smart when she was young, but she became confused when she got old? Who is suffering now? Are the young masters in the mansion suffering? The prime minister, the general, and the prince consort, aren't the three young masters still living a glorious life?
"Madam," the housekeeper advised the old lady, "You are old now. How long can you manage the affairs of the Ruan family? Isn't it better to just stay at home and enjoy your old age?"
There is another truth that the housekeeper didn't say out loud. The eldest master is the prime minister, and you will stay in the inner house for the rest of your life. The man in the court is a man who plays tricks. Can you win in a battle of wits with him?
The old lady lay on the bed with her eyes closed and said nothing. It was unknown whether she listened to the housekeeper's advice or not.
After Young Master Gu and Madam Sun walked out of the main courtyard where the old lady lived, Madam Sun whispered to her husband, "Isn't this too much for Grandmother?"
Young Master Gu turned his head to look at Madam Sun.
Madam Sun raised her hand to wipe the slightly curled edge of Major General Gu's clothes and said, "Just let the young master of the Ruan family meet Grandmother. This is not a big deal."
Young Master Gu smiled and said, "Are you worried that this will get out and affect my reputation?"
Madam Sun said sternly, "I made the decision on this matter. What does it have to do with you, General?"
Young Master Gu smiled and continued walking forward, whispering, "The princess said something that I think is very right."
Mrs. Sun's mouth twitched immediately. What did that person say?
Young Master Gu said, "Princess, can reputation be eaten?"
Madam Sun..., this is indeed what Her Royal Highness the Princess said.
"Ruan Shihao wants to rely on my Gu family," the smile on Young Master Gu's face turned cold, and he said, "How can I let him have his way?"
Madam Sun heard something wrong with Master Gu's tone and asked hurriedly, "Did Master Ruan do something again?"
"He used my name to forcibly buy three thousand acres of fertile land," said Young Master Gu coldly.
"Three thousand acres?" Mrs. Sun was shocked by the number.
"He's pushing me."
Madam Sun pulled Gu Xingnuo's sleeve and asked anxiously, "Will this harm you? Then, what about the people whose good land he seized, and, what about them?"
"I have my own plans," Gu Xingnuo patted his wife's hand gently and said, "Ruan Shihao won't get even one acre of the three thousand acres of good land."
Madam Sun said, "General, why don't you tell Grandmother about this?"
"I told you, will grandma believe me?" Gu Xingnuo said with a smile, "Okay, my lady, I will handle this matter. How can my name be borrowed so easily?"
The couple was talking as they walked towards their own room. A front door attendant hurried over and said to Gu Xingnuo, "Master, the two uncles from the Xu family are here."
When Mrs. Sun heard that someone from her mother-in-law's family had come, she immediately became nervous again. Mrs. Xu was now under house arrest in the Buddhist temple by her husband. No matter what the reason was, if the Xu family made a fuss about this, her husband would be the one in the wrong.
Gu Xingnuo said to Madam Sun as if nothing had happened: "I will go and greet my two uncles. You ask the kitchen to prepare a table of wine and food."
Madam Sun hadn't left yet when another doorman came running over like a man on fire and reported to Master Gu and Madam Sun, "Master, Madam, the Third Master and the Princess are here."
Madam Sun opened her mouth but said nothing. Although she felt bad, she had to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess. If they got along well, it would be fine. If not, Her Royal Highness the Princess would not be the one to suffer anyway.
Young Master Gu felt dizzy for a moment. The Xu family was a family of scholars. Their two uncles were well-read, to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, they were old-fashioned and stubborn. Now that these two had met Her Royal Highness the Princess, Young Master Gu knew without thinking that things would get lively again!
"Have they, the princess and Xinglang, met my two uncles?" asked Young Master Gu.
The doorman nodded. How interesting! Two groups of people were standing at the gate. How could they not be seen?
"I'll go take a look," said Mr. Gu to Madam Sun, and almost trotted towards the gate.
Madam Sun..., does she have to go with them? If things get really chaotic, can she help hold the princess back? (You should go to the kitchen o(╯□╰)o)
