The two elders of the Chen family were busy taking care of the old lady. First, Chen's father fell ill, and then the old lady.
Now there are even more people gossiping behind the back, and some even more outrageous rumors say that it is because of Gu Qing that the Chen family is in this situation!
"But if you think about it carefully, what they say does make sense. Ever since the Third Young Master's wife came into the family, our Chen family has been plagued by troubles one after another. The master fell ill and was bedridden just now, and then the old lady fell ill again..."
"Stop talking. Look at the quarrel between the Young Madam and the Young Master. They might even get divorced. Haven't you heard the rumors outside that our Young Master is going to make the Young Madam's maidservant a concubine?"
“Oh, really…”
…
The rumors of these people reached Gu Qing's ears.
Gu Qing deliberately pretended to be at a loss. The hand holding the medicine bowl shook slightly, and the porcelain bowl in her hand fell to the ground with a snap and shattered into pieces.
A group of maids heard the noise and turned around to look behind them.
When they saw Gu Qing standing behind them, they were terrified and quickly lowered their heads.
"How dare you plot against your master behind her back? I think you don't want to lose your heads anymore, do you?" Cui Ru pointed at the maids in front of her and yelled. Then she quickly turned around, but unexpectedly, her young mistress had already run towards the bedroom. "Young mistress, what are you doing?"
Originally, Gu Qing also wanted to take advantage of this momentum to pack up her things and go back to her parents' home.
Who would have thought that she was just feeling sleepy and worried about not having a pillow, and then this pillow was delivered to her door.
The person who came to pick up Gu Qing was not someone else, but Aunt Liu!
Concubine Liu first stood at the gate of the Chen family and scolded them, acting like the mistress of the house. "Your Chen family married our Qing'er, which was a blessing for several lifetimes. Now you marry her but you don't treat her well. Do you really think that our Gu family will die out?"
Gu Qing listened to the noise, and a frown appeared between her brows...
The arrival of Aunt Liu is really too strange!
After all, in this matter today, the Gu family could just send a housekeeper to take her home. She and Chen Zhizhou didn't really get to the point of divorce.
"Why is Auntie here?" Gu Qing stood at the bedroom door, looking at Auntie Liu with a heavy heart, and asked her slowly.
Aunt Liu went up and took Gu Qing's wrist. She squeezed out two tears in a hypocritical manner and said in a flattering manner: "Qing'er, look at you, you suffered such a great injustice in the Chen family, and you didn't even send someone home to tell them, really..."
Gu Qing said nothing. She actually wanted to see what kind of drama Aunt Liu would perform today.
"Your father ordered me to come and take you home. Don't worry, as long as your father is still alive, no one can bully you. You little girl, really... You don't even know that your mother was so angry about you that she vomited blood." While Aunt Liu was speaking, her eyes were rolling around, as if she was looking for something.
At first, Gu Qing's face remained calm, but when she heard that her mother was seriously ill and vomiting blood, she hurried forward nervously and asked, "My mother had recovered before, why is she suddenly vomiting blood again?"
Aunt Liu didn't see what she wanted -
After a moment, Aunt Liu wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and sobbed, "Poor thing! Your mother is angry because of the rumors she's heard in the capital these days. You know she's weak and can't stand the slightest bit of wind and rain..."
Gu Qing hurriedly called out to Cui Ru and told her, "Pack your things. I need to go back home now."
Cuiru looked bewildered. Earlier, the young mistress had only told her that she was going to pack up her things, but hadn't explained whether she was going home for a short stay or...
"Chen Zhizhou doesn't know what's good for him, and our Gu family doesn't need a son-in-law like him. Why should he suffer here? Qing'er, please keep the valuables I gave you. No matter what, you are still a member of the Gu family. Even if your bones are broken, we are still connected as a family..." Aunt Liu kept on rambling on and on.
Her behavior was incomprehensible to others, but Gu Qing still didn't know what she was planning.
My mother's condition must be serious and the outlook is not optimistic. Today, Aunt Liu came all the way to pick me up and take me home, also to show how competent a concubine I am in front of the wealthy families outside.
I'm afraid Concubine Liu had made sufficient plans before coming here...
No matter what unpleasant things Gu Qing said to her today, even if he hit her, she probably would have endured it.
When Gu Qing heard Aunt Liu say that it was a valuable personal belonging, she understood Aunt Liu's intention even more. Pei'er had now been taken to the outer house by Chen Zhizhou, and since she got the two golden medals of immunity from death, Pei'er had never even seen them.
This golden medal of immunity from death is in her hands, and Aunt Liu is always thinking about taking it away.
If I really can't trick her away——
Aren't they always like this? If they can't get something, they would rather destroy it than let it fall into the hands of others?
"That's right, Auntie." Gu Qing glanced back at Cui Ru beside him and instructed her, "Go get the two death-proof gold medals under my drawer and keep them safe. Don't lose them. If you do, both the Chen and Gu families will be beheaded!"
Cuiru responded and hurriedly got up to do it.
When Chen's father and mother heard that Concubine Liu was coming to pick someone up, they made a special trip to meet her. However, Concubine Liu was so sharp-tongued and mean that she didn't say a single nice word or show a good look to the two elders of the Chen family.
There is always a hurdle in Gu Qing's heart that she cannot overcome, even though she knows that today's forbearance is for tomorrow's comfort.
Before leaving, Gu Qing bowed slightly to her parents-in-law and said, "The grievances between Chen Zhizhou and me are between him and me. I have no objection to my mother-in-law and father-in-law. Please don't take our affairs to heart..."
"Oh, really... This is really my fault. I didn't teach Zhou'er well, which led to him acting so willfully today. Qing'er, if you have any unhappiness in your heart, please talk to your mother. You said you were going back to your mother's home this time, and you let..." Mother Chen shed tears as she spoke, and her tears fell to the ground.
Gu Qing was deeply moved by this scene. She really couldn't bear it and didn't want to make innocent people sad.
Gu Qing gently broke free from Chen's mother's hands. She pursed her lips tightly and whispered, "Take care, mother."
