Gu Qing looked quietly at the girl in front of him.
This was what Gu Miao did in her previous life. She acted out her sisterly love and deceived everyone.
"elder sister?"
Gu Miao felt a little uneasy when stared at by her deep eyes.
Gu Qing smiled: "After not seeing you for two days, I feel like I'm in a different world from my sister."
Feeling relieved, Gu Miao smiled sweetly: "Sister must have missed me too much."
Everyone first greeted Chen Zhizhou in a distant and cold manner, then turned around and happily welcomed Gu Qing into the house and went all the way upstairs.
No matter how evil their ambitions are, the Gu family is very good at acting and putting on a show. If Gu Qing had not been reborn, it would have been difficult for him to see the true faces of these people.
While speaking, Mrs. Gu pulled Gu Qing and looked at her again and again. After making sure that her daughter was not wronged, she patted her hand and lowered her voice.
"Your father is waiting for you in the study, go quickly."
Gu Qing nodded and stood up.
In her previous life, her mother died after learning that she was paralyzed by poison. She never saw through her father's viciousness and lived in the lies woven by the Gu family.
That's fine.
If her mother knew that she was the leverage her father had over her, she would probably try every possible way to commit suicide. It was better to keep her in the dark.
Chen Zhizhou's deep gaze swept over Gu Qingyuan's departing back.
He lowered his eyes while drinking tea, suppressing the coldness in his eyes.
Gu family’s front yard, study.
"Greetings to father. I haven't seen you for two days. Is your health okay?"
Yingying bowed and looked up. Gu Qing's face was full of admiration, but deep in his eyes was resentment and cold murderousness.
Father Gu helped her up himself.
"Hurry up and get up, and let your father see you. My daughter has suffered so much in the past two days since I last saw her. I'm sorry for marrying such a scumbag."
Patting Gu Qing's hand, Gu's father showed his true feelings.
Gu Qing shook his head and said obediently: "As long as I can help my father, it's not a grievance."
"Okay, okay."
After saying three good words, Father Gu pulled Gu Qing to sit down and asked impatiently, "How is it? What did you gain from your two days at the Chen family?"
"My daughter asked Madam Chen for an old lady from the Chen Mansion. I want to ask her about some of the things going on in the Chen Mansion. I believe that I will get some information soon. Don't worry, father."
Father Gu nodded.
He was indeed anxious. What could he gain after only being married for two days?
Upon learning that she had no gains, Father Gu seemed a little bored. After saying a few words, he asked her to go back to the backyard.
At the same time, Chen Zhizhou's servant leaned over and whispered back.
"Third Master, our people heard that the young lady did marry into the Chen family with a purpose. She seemed to be planning something."
Chen Zhizhou still had a faint smile on his face.
Those eyes were as cold as frost, and there was a hint of disappointment that he himself was not aware of.
He nodded: "Got it, tell them to retreat, don't let anyone find out."
The servant went out in response.
Gu Qing came in one after another and glanced at Chen Zhizhou first.
Their eyes met in the air. Gu Qing was stunned for a moment, thinking of Meng Lang that night, and looked away awkwardly.
Chen Zhizhou's eyes became even deeper.
Gu's father's servant came in and called Chen Zhizhou and the other members of the Gu family to the front yard. The people from the other two families left on the pretext of something. Gu Qing finally had some free time to talk to Mrs. Gu in private.
"How is the Chen family? How does your son-in-law treat you?"
My mother had asked the same question in my previous life.
How did she respond?
He first belittled Chen Zhizhou, saying that he was an unkempt military general who lacked the bearing of a scholar and was just like their family's groom.
He also expressed his disdain for the entire Chen family, saying his father-in-law was not presentable and his mother-in-law came from the countryside.
She was like a precious peony kept in a cowshed.
Before Gu Qing could say anything, Gu Miao sighed, "Chen Zhizhou has such a bad reputation. It's really unfair for a precious person like my elder sister to marry him. How can someone like him be worthy of my elder sister?"
He paused and continued, "And the Chen family? They're only good at fighting. Counting back three generations, they were all peasants. A general who emerged from the countryside, who in the capital would respect them?"
Mrs. Gu frowned.
She was about to say something when Gu Qing spoke.
"Sister, why don't you go and tell father about this? Since you've said such terrible things about Chen Zhizhou and the Chen family, then what was father's intention in marrying me into the Chen family?"
Gu Qing's face was cold and indifferent.
"Whether Chen Zhizhou has a good or bad reputation is just rumors spread by outsiders. So what if the Chen family is of humble origin? Heroes come from all walks of life, and whose ancestors didn't come from humble backgrounds? It's fine to say this within our family, but if others hear it, they'll doubt my father's intentions of marrying into the Gu family."
These words made Gu Miao's face turn pale and then red, and then red and then pale.
But she didn't dare to argue.
Because she and her aunt knew about Gu's father's plan.
Without giving her a chance to speak, Gu Qing continued, "Okay, you should go and rest too. I have something to say to my mother."
Gu Miao's heart was pounding, and he said goodbye softly. After leaving the main courtyard, he was still in a daze for a long time.
She always felt that Gu Qing was weird today.
no.
She had to discuss it with her aunt.
Inside the room, Madam Gu patted Gu Qing's hand and scolded him, "Why are you suddenly angry? Look how embarrassed you are for your sister."
Then she continued, "But what you said makes a lot of sense. Mother is actually very satisfied with this marriage. Zhizhou is definitely not as bad as the rumors say. Your mother-in-law is not his biological mother, but judging by how close Zhizhou is to her, she is a good person and easy to get along with. Mother was afraid that you would look down on their family, and she was very worried."
Now I can finally feel relieved.
Gu Qing felt a lump in his throat and couldn't help but throw himself into Madam Gu's arms.
She had never heard these words in her previous life, and she had let her mother down.
"You're so old, and you're still acting like a spoiled brat."
Mrs. Gu pinched her face.
Gu Qing said in a muffled voice, "No matter how old she is, she is still my daughter. Mother, please stay away from Gu Miao and her daughter from now on. I think they have ulterior motives."
My mother is weak by nature and has never had any means. It is precisely because of her weak nature that Gu Miao and her daughter have the respect they don't deserve in the Gu family.
Aunt Xu, the maidservant beside her, nodded heavily: "Even Miss, I have tried to persuade Madam many times, but Madam did not believe it."
Mrs. Gu really thinks they are nice.
"Madam Liu has always been polite, and Miaomiao is obedient and well-behaved. How could she have such ulterior motives? I think you are angry because she said bad things about Zhizhou."
As they were talking, a maid suddenly opened the curtain and came in to report: "Madam, Miss, Concubine Liu is here."
Mrs. Gu was stunned.
What is she doing here at this time?
Gu Qing sat up straight, his eyes cold.
A concubine dared to go to the upper room without the mistress's permission on the day when the daughter of the legitimate wife returned home.
Today she was going to crush all of Concubine Liu's arrogance and dignity, and make her stay in the Gu family as a concubine.
"Let her come in."
