"Okay, your father has his reasons for doing things. He promised me before that he would help me become his wife after that short-lived man died!" Aunt Liu said as she slowly tidied her clothes with her hands.
Seeing Concubine Liu like this, Gu Miao was furious and annoyed, but she was at her wit's end. Before leaving, she looked at Concubine Liu again and said with some reluctance, "Mother, what good will it do if you become the legal wife? If Gu Qing really gets close to the Fifth Prince, Li Xiangsheng will be the future emperor!"
this……
Aunt Liu was also panicking deep down in her heart. She had been sleeping in the same bed with Gu Yunzhao for so many years. Although she was not Gu Yunzhao's wife, she was still his.
She also conceived a daughter for Gu Yunzhao...
Gu Yunzhao is a vicious person and deserves to be killed!
He had long been aware of the affairs of the court and had started planning many years ago. After Concubine Liu gave birth to a daughter, he ordered people to send contraceptive soup to Concubine Liu every day.
The Gu family doesn't need a son.
These are also Gu Yunzhao’s original words.
Although the Gu family is also a powerful family, it is still not powerful enough. What can it do even if Gu Yunzhao gives birth to a son?
Enter the court as an official, and follow in his father's footsteps?
But it would be different if he had two daughters. He only needed to raise one of them to be a successful woman and send her to the imperial palace in the future...
His Gu family is a royal family, so it won’t be too late for the younger generations to continue to accumulate strength and climb up in the future.
Aunt Liu sat on a chair, staring blankly at her daughter's disappointed back as she left. The handkerchief she was clutching slipped to the ground. She glanced at the little maid kneeling on the ground and asked, "What else did the master say when he discussed matters with the Fifth Prince today?"
What a pity...
Money makes the world go round.
Since Aunt Liu can make Pei'er work for her, Gu Qing can also easily bribe the people she trusts the most.
The little maidservant didn't dare look up at Aunt Liu. She murmured nervously, "Fifth Prince said that the Gu family still has a daughter. If anything happens to the Chen family, as long as Gu Qing dies, when he ascends the throne, the Gu family will be recognized as a patriotic force, and the second daughter will enter the palace as a concubine. Isn't that a natural thing?"
Chad didn't have any problem hearing this...
Aunt Liu's arms were trembling slightly. When she went to pick up the handkerchief, her heart felt blocked and she almost couldn't breathe.
After enduring and restraining herself for so long, her tears still couldn't help but fall to the ground!
In that case, don't blame her for her vicious behavior!
When Aunt Liu raised her eyes again, there was a poisonous look in her eyes...
Three quarters past midnight.
Gu Miao tossed and turned in her bedroom but couldn't fall asleep. After thinking it over again and again, she decided to go to Gu Yunzhao in person to find out...
It seems that her mother can no longer be relied upon at the moment. If she wants to do anything, she has to rely on herself!
Gu Miao asked the servants and found out that Gu Yunzhao was still in the study and had not left yet. She quickly got up, put on her clothes, and walked quickly towards the study.
The door of the study was ajar.
Gu Yunzhao didn't know what he was doing...
When Gu Miao stepped over the threshold, she smiled and called out, "Daddy——" while holding the mung bean, white fungus and lily soup in her hand.
When the sweet and soft voice reached his ears, Gu Yunzhao subconsciously stiffened his body, and then quickly folded the pile of scrolls in front of him and put them on the bookshelf beside him.
His movements were as swift as the wind, as if he had some huge secret that he was afraid of letting Gu Miao know.
The more this happened, the more curious Gu Miao became.
Gu Miao placed the soup in her hand on the table. She looked at Gu Yunzhao with a smile as beautiful as a flower and said, "Dad is still busy in the study so late at night. I must be your thoughtful daughter. I made this mung bean soup for you myself."
"Oh, having you and Qing'er is the greatest blessing in my life!" Gu Yunzhao picked up the mung bean soup from the table with a smile. He lifted his clothes, slowly sat down and took a sip.
Gu Miao glanced back at Gu Yunzhao, then strolled forward again, feigning a nonchalant air. "Father, I'm afraid you only have me in your heart. There are rumors out there that you gave me some heirloom, the Dust-Repelling Pearl, to me. I had no idea our Gu family had such a rare treasure."
Dust-repelling beads?
Gu Yunzhao's hand, which was holding the porcelain bowl and sipping the soup, paused for a moment, then froze in mid-air...
"What nonsense are you talking about? There's no such thing as a Dust-Repelling Pearl in this world!" Gu Yunzhao scolded Gu Miao again with a cold and stern tone, "It's fine for you to just listen to this, but if it gets out and the palace finds out, it will endanger the lives of so many people in our Gu family!"
Although Gu Miao was a concubine's daughter, she had always been raised in the palm of her father's hand like a pearl.
On weekdays, Gu Yunzhao rarely scolded her or said anything harsh to her.
After hearing the conversation between the father and daughter tonight, Gu Miao felt even more sad.
Gu Miao lowered her eyes and glanced at the dress she was wearing. How could the fabric, the clothes, the gold and silver jewellery she was wearing compare to Gu Qing's casualness?
It seemed like Gu Qing had found a playboy, but in reality, she lived a more carefree life than herself, wearing gold and silver...
In addition, Gu Miao heard from the maids in the mansion that Gu Yunzhao planned to give the rare treasures in the house to Gu Qing.
Now that Gu Qing and the Fifth Prince are so intertwined, it's hard not to be suspicious!
"It was my daughter who said the wrong thing, and I know I was wrong." Gu Miao bit her lower lip unwillingly, and she looked at Gu Yunzhao's expression carefully.
Since she was a child, she has developed a good ability to understand people's hearts.
Seeing Gu Yunzhao's evasive look, Gu Miao knew that there must be something going on!
Gu Miao's eyes swept across the pile of scrolls on the bookshelf again, and he didn't know what Gu Yunzhao was hiding.
In the past, he would have discussed everything with Aunt Liu and Gu Miao...
Now it seems that everything is just a trick he used to cling to the imperial power, and he only gets a little bit of sweetness!
Gu Miao clutched her dress tightly with one hand, her voice cold and chilling, "Father, it's late, you should go to bed early. Your daughter will go back first."
"Go to bed early." Gu Yunzhao waved his hand without saying a word.
As soon as she returned, she told Aunt Liu everything that had happened in the study tonight...
Aunt Liu sat at the desk, one hand clutching a pen as she bent over copying Buddhist scriptures. Without looking up, she murmured, "I see. If you have nothing else to do, you should go to bed early. You're an unmarried girl, and you've been sleeping so late all night. Look at how you look these days, you haven't looked as good as before."
