Gu Yue kowtowed frequently.
"Mother, please grant my wish. I know I've disappointed you and I'm sorry for all your years of nurturing me. But I only want to marry Zhao Erlang. I don't want anyone else."
Xie was furious and pointed at Gu Yue's head, "You, you don't listen to my advice. Sooner or later, you will regret it."
"My daughter will never regret it. She will never regret it in her life."
Gu Yue said with a firm look.
Xie snorted coldly, "Don't speak so early."
"My daughter will definitely not regret it. She will regret not marrying Zhao Erlang and not working hard to win him over."
Mrs. Xie looked at Gu Yue, who was so stubborn that she refused to listen to a word. She was so angry that she had no strength left and collapsed on the chair.
Chun He hurriedly brought a cup of tea and said, "Madam, please drink some water to calm down and take care of yourself."
Xie said angrily, "You saw her like this, how can I calm down?"
Chun He went to persuade Gu Yue again, "Third Miss, just listen to Madam. Madam will not harm you. Madam has done so much over the years, all for your sake. Can't you be considerate of Madam?"
Xie said so much, but she couldn't persuade Gu Yue. Chun He wanted to change Gu Yue's mind with just one sentence, which was even more impossible.
Gu Yue shook her head. "Mother, I don't want anything else. I only have this one request. As long as you are willing to fulfill my wish, I will listen to you in everything from now on."
Xie narrowed her eyes and stared at Gu Yue.
Gu Yue held her head high and faced Xie calmly.
"You'll listen to me in everything?" Xie snorted coldly.
Gu Yue nodded, "I listen to my mother in everything."
"I told you not to marry Zhao Erlang, will you listen?"
Gu Yue's face turned pale, and she said stubbornly, "Except for this matter, I listen to my mother in other matters."
Xie sneered repeatedly, "Yuer, Yueer, you used all the methods your mother taught you on me. You've really come a long way."
Gu Yue lowered her head guiltily.
Xie scolded angrily, “Do you know how much trouble you have caused me because of your recklessness, stupidity, and self-righteousness?
Do you know how furious your father was last night? He pointed at my nose and called the Xie family good-for-nothings.
And because of this incident, your father decided to become irreconcilable with your uncle.
"Yue'er, your seemingly small action has brought such serious consequences. Have you ever reflected on it?"
Gu Yue was speechless, looking frightened. "I didn't expect my father to be so angry."
Xie sneered, "Of course you wouldn't think of that. All you have in your mind is Zhao Erlang and your own happiness."
In order to marry Zhao Erlang, you would do anything, even risk your life.
If one day I am abandoned by your father and your uncle dies at your father's hands, it will all be your fault.
You killed your uncle, your mother, and now you want to kill your brother and your younger siblings?
Gu Yue, where is your conscience? Before you do something, have you ever considered the aftermath? Have you ever thought about me and your brothers and sisters?
Gu Yue opened her mouth and suddenly burst into tears.
"Mother, I'm sorry. I was wrong. But now that things have come to this, it's too late to regret. Mother, why don't you just go with the flow and help me."
Xie was so angry that she laughed.
It turns out that everything she said was in vain.
Gu Yue didn't hear a word he said, and her mind was always on Zhao Erlang.
Mrs. Xie smiled bitterly, "I just doted on you too much, and I've spoiled you to the point of being lawless. Gu Yue, let me ask you, in your mind, who is more important, Zhao Erlang, whom you've only met once, or me?"
Gu Yue was at a loss, looking at Xie eagerly, "Mother, I, I..."
Xie waved her hand and said, "You don't need to say anything. I already know the answer in your heart."
Gu Yue's face was pale and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.
Xie sighed deeply.
She laughed at herself.
She raised a good daughter. She invested so much effort and love in her daughter, but in the end, she was not as important as a strange man.
How ironic and cruel this is.
Xie was disheartened and didn't want to continue. There was no point in saying more.
Gu Yue panicked and tugged at Xie's sleeve, "Mother, please listen to my explanation. In my heart, mother is naturally the most important. I just didn't react before, so..."
"Enough! Gu Yue, I raised you. How could I not know what you were thinking? You're playing tricks on me. You really make me feel cold."
Gu Yue burst into tears, "No, it's not like that. Mother, please listen to my explanation..."
"You should reflect on this."
Xie shook off Gu Yue's hand and walked out.
Chun He hesitated for a moment and said to Gu Yue, "Third Miss, you've hurt Madam's feelings, do you know that? Madam always considers you, but you... well... wait until Madam's anger subsides, apologize to her and sincerely repent. And don't mention Zhao Erlang again in the future, don't make Madam unhappy."
"Sister Chunhe, can you help me? Isn't it okay?"
Gu Yue didn't listen to Chun He's words at all. She grabbed Chun He's hand as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Sister Chunhe, you must help me. As long as you help me, I will give you money. I have plenty of money here. I can also help you achieve your wish and become the master's concubine. Really, I can really help you."
Chun He's expression changed. "Third Miss, what nonsense are you talking about? Let go immediately."
"Sister Chunhe, please, please help me. You are the only one who can help me now."
"The Third Miss is so capable, why would she need my help? I have to go back and serve the Madam. Bye."
Chunhe was very strong and forcibly pried Gu Yue's hands apart and ran out.
Gu Yue burst into tears, and the maids closed the door directly, not afraid that Gu Yue would run away.
When there was no more noise outside, Gu Yue stopped crying.
Xie walked very quickly, and only after she had walked some distance did she calm down from her anger.
Chun He chased after her and said, "Madam, are you okay?"
"What did the third girl say to you?"
Chun He lowered her head and whispered, "The Third Miss asked me to help her. I didn't agree."
"This damn girl still hasn't given up."
Chun He hesitated for a moment and said, "Madam, it seems that the third young lady is determined to marry Zhao Erlang. This is not a solution."
"I know that. But if I give in to her wishes this time, she'll get a taste of her own sweetness and will definitely become even more aggressive in the future."
Xie said this with gritted teeth.
Gu Yue came here to collect debts.
Chun He said, "But if the Third Young Lady is locked up like this, I'm worried something might happen."
Xie narrowed her eyes.
Chun He reminded Mrs. Xie, "Madam, there is no such thing as a completely impenetrable wall. The eldest wife's family has been running the mansion for so many years, and the whole mansion is filled with people from the eldest wife's family.
There's no guarantee that no one will find out about the Third Miss's affair. If someone were to tell anyone, there would be a big commotion just with the eldest Miss. It would also be difficult to explain to the Master."
Xie frowned.
Xie understood what Chunhe said.
But if she didn't teach Gu Yue a lesson, Xie would be unable to get over the anger she felt.
Xie said to Chunhe, "Send someone to monitor the mansion. If there's any disturbance, report it to me immediately."
"As you command."
Chunhe sighed secretly, it seemed that his wife still had not made up her mind.
Xie looked up and around, only to find that she had arrived near the yard where Gu Shan lived.
Xie took a deep breath and said, "Follow me to see the fourth young lady."
Gu Yue disappointed Xie, but she still had Gu Shan.
Gu Shan is a sensible child and is also smart. Compared with Gu Yue, Xie found that Gu Shan has too many advantages.
She really ignored Gu Shan before, which was really wrong.
If Gu Yue had been given some of her love to Gu Shan, Gu Yue might not have become what she is today.
With mixed feelings in her heart, Xie walked into the courtyard where Gu Shan lived.
Gu Shan was surprised to see Xie coming, but her face remained calm.
"My daughter has seen her mother. Why is my mother here so late at night?"
"Come and see you."
Xie looked at the courtyard where Gu Shan lived. The furnishings were obviously simpler and cleaner than those of Gu Yue's.
"Why don't you send someone to the warehouse to get some more ornaments?"
Although she didn't know why Mrs. Xie said this, Gu Shan still answered honestly: "My daughter doesn't allow the maids to put too many ornaments. My daughter likes it simple."
Mrs. Xie nodded. "You've been different from your sister since you were little. She likes luxury, and you prefer simplicity. She likes going out, and you like reading. Oh, you two sisters are really different."
Gu Shan tried to ask, "Is something wrong with Third Sister?"
Xie waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about your third sister, let's talk about yourself."
Gu Shan didn't understand what was going on. She lowered her head and said, "My daughter is fine."
Mrs. Xie looked at her and asked, "Don't you need to buy anything?"
Gu Shan shook her head. "Thank you, mother. My daughter doesn't need to buy anything for the time being."
"I see."
This way of chatting is really boring.
Xie suddenly understood why she doted on Gu Yue so much but disliked the smart and sensible Gu Shan.
She was boring and didn't know how to get close to people. Although they were mother and daughter, their attitude was polite and distant.
This kind of chatting attitude made Xie frown and feel unhappy.
You really can't blame her.
With Gu Yue's attitude, she seems to have no idea how to be a good mother.
Gu Shan looked at Xie with a cautious expression.
Xie coughed lightly, came back to her senses, and asked, "Shan'er, have you thought about your lifelong event? What kind of family do you want to marry into?"
Gu Shan was very obedient and gave a standard answer, "It's all up to my mother."
"Marriage is indeed a matter of parents' decision. However, as parents, we must also respect our children's opinions. If you have any ideas, Shan'er, please feel free to tell me. I will help you achieve them."
Huh?
Gu Shan was full of questions.
She thought about it and said, "My daughter wants to marry someone of equal status, hardworking and ambitious, and with good character."
Xie looked at her and tried to ask, "Don't you have any requirements for appearance?"
"Good-looking."
Then Gu Shan added, "A man's character is the most important thing; appearance is not the most important thing."
It's really completely different from Gu Yue.
Gu Yue's brain was too weak to see beyond appearance. Character and hard work were not as important as a good-looking appearance.
Xie laughed at herself. She had given birth to two daughters, but they were polar opposites. It seemed as if they had nothing in common.
Mrs. Xie said to Gu Shan, "Mother knows all your thoughts. I will definitely find you someone with good character and outstanding talent. You like reading, and if he also likes reading, you two will naturally get along well."
Gu Shan blushed for the first time. "My daughter is still young. It won't be too late to discuss her marriage after her three sisters' marriages are settled."
Xie laughed, "I know. But when they're looking after your sisters, I'll keep an eye on them for you."
Gu Shan pondered for a moment and asked cautiously, "Mother, is my eldest sister's marriage not going to happen? Is there any progress on my third sister's marriage?"
Xie frowned, "Who told you that?"
"My daughter guessed it herself."
Xie restrained her expression and said seriously, "Don't do it again. A girl's marriage is not that easy to decide."
oh!
Gu Shan understood.
Something must have happened in the marriage of my eldest and third sisters, which made my mother so moved that she came to the courtyard where she lived so late.
Everything that needs to be said has been said.
Xie also felt it was boring to stay any longer.
She gave Gu Shan a few more instructions, then got up and left.
Gu Shan sent Xie to the gate of the courtyard.
"Go back and rest early."
Gu Shan nodded, "Mother, can I go visit my third sister tomorrow?"
"Your third sister has been very angry these past two days, so you shouldn't go."
Gu Shan readily agreed, "A daughter listens to her mother."
Xie raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly.
Suddenly he thought of Gu Yue and his face fell again.
If Gu Yue was half as smart and sensible as Gu Shan, she would wake up laughing in her dreams.
…
The next day, news came from the neighboring Marquis' Mansion that the Haixi Marquis' Mansion did not plan to marry into the Gu Mansion.
In other words, the Haixi Marquis' Mansion did not fancy Gu Zhen.
call!
Xie breathed a sigh of relief, she knew this would happen.
After what happened, how could the Haixi Marquis's Mansion marry Gu Zhen?
Xie was thinking about how to bring up this matter with Lord Gu when he came back in the evening.
Gu Zhen's marriage, Gu Yue's marriage...
Xie was in a dilemma.
Mrs. Xie asked Chunhe, "Is the third young lady still making a fuss?"
Chun He shook her head. "The third young lady had breakfast and asked someone to prepare writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone. She is reviewing her lessons in her room."
Xie snorted coldly, "It's really rare that she knows how to make progress."
Chunhe didn't dare to speak casually.
"Have someone keep a close eye on Zhen and San Yatou. They must not let their guard down for the next few days."
"I understand."
After thinking about it, Mrs. Xie decided to go find the first wife, Mrs. Zhang.
The marriage at Haixibo Mansion fell through, and she had to find a new marriage for Gu Zhen as soon as possible. While no one knew what had happened to Gu Zhen.
In addition, the Xie family must be punished. They must be silenced and not allowed to gossip about others.
Xie had a good plan, but he didn't expect that plans could not keep up with changes.
…
Xiao Cui's reputation as a nosy person is not undeserved.
The news that Xie had kept strictly secret still allowed her to find a breakthrough.
"I found a young lady from Zizhuyuan and she told me that yesterday evening, Madam went to visit the Third Miss. She cried so hard that Madam raised her voice and scolded her several times. My young lady listened to a few of her words."
Gu Jiu was curious: "What did your ladies hear?"
Xiao Cui took a sip of water and continued, "The Madam seemed to be scolding the Third Miss, saying that she had to fall in love with Zhao Erlang when there were so many people to choose from. She also called the Third Miss stupid and heartless."
"Are you serious?"
Gu Jiu's hand holding the teacup paused in mid-air, a look of disbelief on his face.
I'm so tired.
So that’s it, so that’s it!
No wonder Gu Yue wanted to plot against Gu Zhen. It turned out that Gu Yue had taken a fancy to Zhao Erlang and wanted to replace Gu Zhen and marry into the Haixi Earl's Mansion.
There is no reason for two sisters to marry two brothers from the same family.
Gu Yue knew very well in her mind that the prerequisite for her to marry Zhao Erlang was that Gu Zhen’s marriage fell through.
Gu Yue is really ruthless and efficient, and his ability to act is off the charts.
She must have first met Zhao Erlang on the day of the banquet. Then she acted decisively and carefully planned to plot against Gu Zhen.
This kind of action power is unmatched by ordinary people.
Other girls, even if they like a boy, will only think about him in their hearts.
If you want to take action, you have to think carefully and wait for the next opportunity.
It's rare to find someone as decisive and straightforward as Gu Yue.
Gu Jiu had to admire Gu Yue's ability to take action, it was so strong.
She ruined Gu Zhen's marriage as she wished.
However, Gu Yue's dream of marrying Zhao Erlang will not be so easy to achieve.
Gu Yue is such a cruel person.
At least Gu Zhen used to run around for her and act as her vanguard.
As a result, for the sake of a man, she destroyed Gu Zhen's marriage in a blink of an eye.
If Gu Zhen knew the truth, what would she do?
