"You two, you..."
Princess Chaoyang pointed at Princess Huyang and then at Gu Jiu.
"You two youngsters actually teamed up to humiliate an elderly lady like me. You will be struck by lightning!"
ah……
Princess Chaoyang tilted her head. Is she dead? Or...
"Oh no, Her Royal Highness the Princess has fainted."
Was he actually fainted from anger?
Oh my god!
How strange!
Princess Chaoyang, who has always been the one to bully others and no one can bully her, was actually so angry that she fainted after hearing a few words from Madam Zhao.
Awesome, my Madam Zhao!
Everyone looked at Gu Jiu with admiration.
Yes, it’s all admiration.
Too, too awesome.
So admirable.
Gu Jiu did what many people wanted to do but failed to do. Even more amazingly, she even made Princess Chaoyang faint from anger.
At this moment, many people felt that they must have fallen in love with Gu Jiu.
Look at that figure, that face, and that little mouth, so adorable.
Liu Zhao was so lucky to marry such a good woman.
"My Lady, the Princess has fainted. What should we do?"
Princess Huyang was still a little skeptical, "Did he really faint?"
The maid nodded heavily.
The nanny who served beside Princess Chaoyang wiped her tears and said, "You are going too far. This matter is not over yet."
"Who are you not done with? You came to my territory and bullied my nephew's wife. I will say that this matter is not done with your Princess Mansion."
Princess Huyang glared at the maid, then stood up and walked forward, placing a finger in front of Princess Chaoyang's nose to test her. "She's still breathing, she's not dead."
Too, too much!
Can you say that about an old man?
Princess Chaoyang is an elder after all.
The nanny at the Princess's Mansion glared at Princess Huyang.
Princess Huyang chuckled, "Since she's fainted, I'll try to wake Aunt Chaoyang up. Maybe she's just pretending to faint."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pinched the Ren Zhong point.
The nanny at the Princess's Mansion screamed, as if Hu Yang was pinching not Princess Chaoyang, but herself.
"Princess Huyang, how dare you do such harm to my princess!"
"What a murder! Can't you see I'm pinching the Ren Zhong point to wake him up? If you keep nagging me, I'll shut you up and sell you to a brothel."
“You, you…”
The nanny of the Princess's residence was so old and had lived a respectable life, yet she was humiliated by Princess Huyang. She was so ashamed and angry that she almost fainted.
The nanny was stunned. Princess Huyang sighed and said, "As expected, like master, like servant. Servants resemble their masters, they are of the same bloodline."
She spoke without interrupting her work.
He exerted force with his hands and pinched Princess Chaoyang's philtrum hard.
"Hey, he's not awake yet. It seems he's really dizzy, not just pretending."
Everyone: "..." Princess Huyang has a sharp vision, I admire you so much!
Princess Chaoyang: "..." Huyang bitch, you're almost strangling me to death. So what if I'm pretending to be unconscious? Have I eaten your rice? I'm capable of pretending to be unconscious, Huyang, if you're capable, then don't strangle me! Bitch, still strangling! Who's pinching my thigh? Let me know, and I'll kill her.
Hu Yang sighed twice, "Aunt Chaoyang's tolerance is not good. My nephew's wife just said a few truths, and she fainted. It's really not satisfying."
Come, send Princess Chaoyang back to the Princess's Mansion and tell her son to stop playing tricks on people and pay more attention to Aunt Chaoyang. Otherwise, I will not be polite to him.
The Princess's Housekeeper was very upset.
"My Lady, Princess Chaoyang is in a coma. Should we invite the imperial physician to come to our house for treatment?"
Princess Huyang waved her hand and said, "No need to call the imperial physician."
The steward of the Princess's Mansion has a huge beard, and if he shakes it, I'm really afraid that it will be shaken off.
Princess Huyang slapped the Princess Housekeeper on the shoulder and said, "You don't understand this. Aunt Chaoyang and my Princess Mansion are incompatible. Once she leaves the Princess Mansion, she will be able to recover without medicine. Don't worry, she won't die."
Princess Chaoyang: "..." You bitch Huyang, you actually cursed me. I will never coexist with you.
The princess's steward stopped trying to persuade her and quickly sent Princess Chaoyang back to the princess's mansion.
The Princess's Housekeeper had a simple idea: even if Princess Chaoyang was to die, she couldn't die in the Huyang Princess's Mansion. She could die anywhere else outside the Princess's Mansion.
The servants hurriedly took Princess Chaoyang out, put her in the carriage, and hurried out of the princess's mansion.
Princess Chaoyang was sent away and the show was over.
Everyone can drink tea when they want and eat snacks when they want.
Princess Huyang came close to Gu Jiu and asked, "My nephew's wife, have I been able to help you today?"
Gu Jiu nodded and smiled, "I have to thank my aunt for her help today. If it weren't for your support, I would have been bullied by Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"With me here, she won't dare bully you."
"Aunt is so kind to me. I don't know how to thank her. Oh, I remember that I got a jade sculpture some time ago. I think it will be very suitable for Aunt's temperament. If Aunt doesn't mind, I will have someone send it to you tomorrow."
"I don't mind, I don't mind."
Princess Huyang was beaming with joy.
What she liked most about Gu Jiu was that he was very accommodating and never asked for help for free. If he asked for a reward, he would give it immediately, never doing it for nothing.
Unlike some people who said there would be a generous reward, damn, it’s been a year or two and I still haven’t seen any reward.
Huyang has never been willing to help people like that.
Princess Huyang was very satisfied with Gu Jiu's thanks and she liked everyone he met.
She also advised her daughter, Chen Min, "Learn more from your eldest cousin's wife, be straightforward, and don't worry about trivial matters. I, your mother, am a princess, your uncle is the emperor, and your grandmother is the empress dowager. There are few people in the world with a status more noble than yours. Although you don't have a title, you are better than one.
In the future, after you marry into the Gu family, if the other party is polite and doesn't cause you trouble, you should be kind and generous. If someone is blind, don't hesitate and hit them directly.
Just like your eldest cousin's wife, Princess Chaoyang is so noble and of such a high generation, yet she beats people without hesitation, without giving them any respect. Being like this is what it means to be happy. All those virtuous and gentle things are just deception. Only when you feel happy yourself can you feel truly happy.
Chen Min's three views are crumbling.
This was not the first time she had seen Gu Jiu arguing with others.
But this time, she had never seen someone directly expose the other person's past and knock him unconscious.
She was a little excited and a little scared at the same time.
She patted her chest and asked, "Will something bad happen if my cousin treats Princess Chaoyang like this?"
"What could possibly happen?" Princess Huyang rolled her eyes. "Even if I file a complaint with the Emperor, His Majesty will definitely side with your cousin."
"Why? Princess Chaoyang is our elder." Chen Min didn't understand.
Princess Huyang reached out and poked Chen Min's forehead. "I've always told you to stop reading useless books and learn more about managing the household, but you refused to listen. It's such a simple truth, and you're still asking why. You've really wasted all these years eating rice."
Why else? It's for money, of course. Your cousin-in-law can make money for His Majesty, but Princess Chaoyang only steals from the Great Zhou, runs a casino, and drives people into bankruptcy.
His Majesty is not a foolish or incompetent ruler, so he naturally took the opportunity to severely punish Princess Chaoyang. Why do you think Princess Chaoyang pretended to faint? Isn't it because she was afraid that your cousin-in-law would say more things that would harm her?
Chen Min uttered an "ah," covered her mouth, and asked quietly, "Is Princess Chaoyang pretending to faint?"
Princess Huyang smiled smugly, "She managed to fool me with her little tricks. She's in her forties, and she's completely lost her dignity today."
Chen Min pulled Hu Yang's sleeve and asked, "Mother, since you knew that Princess Chaoyang was pretending to be unconscious, why did you deliberately pinch her Ren Zhong?"
"Of course I'm venting my anger! Are you stupid? She took the initiative to give me the opportunity. If I don't take the opportunity to deal with her, am I still Huyang?"
Hu Yang chuckled twice. "My silly girl, how come you haven't learned any more wisdom in the two years since entering the palace? You only grow taller, but not smarter. Are you trying to piss me off to death? You're just as dumb as your brother."
Chen Min said aggrievedly, "No one taught me. The maids in the palace don't teach me these things."
Hu Yang glared at her. "Didn't I teach you in the Japanese palace? It's you who don't want to learn and despise me for being so despicable. I'm telling you, to make a living, you have to rely on my despicable methods.
Otherwise, today, both of us would have been captured by that old witch Chaoyang. Even if we were bullied to death, no one would stand up for us. If you want to live a happy life, instead of relying on others to make decisions for you, it’s better to rely on yourself.”
Chen Min was half-believing, half-doubting. A piece of his worldview had already been shattered. Just waiting for the next violent impact, and his worldview would collapse and be reshaped anew.
She always ignored her mother, Princess Huyang's words and felt disgusted.
But I saw with my own eyes that my cousin's wife Gu Jiu was arguing with people, but she still lived a prosperous life and was invincible.
Only then did she realize that some of what her mother said did make sense.
Otherwise, why is my cousin's wife so close to my mother? It can't be to please my mother.
She had doubts in her mind and wanted to find out the truth.
Before the meal started, she finally found an opportunity.
"Is sister-in-law tired?"
Gu Jiu shook his head and smiled, "Minmin, sit down and talk, I'm not tired."
"Sister-in-law, you've offended Princess Chaoyang today. Aren't you worried?"
Gu Jiu smiled and asked, "Why should you worry?"
Chen Min still used the same excuse as before, "She is the elder after all."
"So what if they are elders? In the face of national laws and family rules, there is no distinction between elders and juniors."
Chen Min was thoughtful. "Sister-in-law, if we women want to live a good life, do we have to resort to extraordinary means?"
Gu Jiu smiled softly, "That depends on what you want, and what you understand as extraordinary measures."
"Please teach me, sister-in-law."
Gu Jiu pondered for a moment, "If a person wants to gain a reputation for being virtuous, he or she will naturally try to please others, flatter them, work hard, and suffer grievances everywhere. Only when others are satisfied can one be considered satisfied. Only when others are happy can one be truly happy."
If a person seeks profit, they will naturally side with those who benefit them and avoid those who are poor or have no future. This kind of person is often called a snob.
Some people just want to be happy, like your mother, Princess Huyang. She's the typical person who only wants to live a happy life, never blaming others for their feelings. Whether others are satisfied or not is never within her consideration.
Chen Min asked curiously, "What did sister-in-law ask for?"
Gu Jiu asked in return: "What did Minmin ask for?"
Chen Min blushed and whispered, "I pray for harmony between husband and wife and a smooth life."
"If you want your life to go smoothly, you can't always compromise yourself to please others. Because if you retreat a foot, others will advance a foot, and eventually they will ride on your head and act wildly."
Chen Min was a little worried, "What should I do then?"
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "Of course, when someone bullies you for the first time, you should fight back decisively and let everyone know how powerful you are.
When everyone knows you're not a pushover, they'll have to think twice before trying to bully you. Remember, everyone picks on the weak and fears the strong.
If you want to avoid being bullied and live a smooth and comfortable life, you must show your strength."
"Is this how sister-in-law lives a comfortable and carefree life?"
Gu Jiu shook his head. "In addition to having a temper, a person also needs money. Money is a person's courage."
Chen Min wrinkled his nose. "But I don't have any money. All my private savings added up to less than two thousand taels."
Gu Jiu laughed, "When you get married, your dowry will be your capital. With capital, it will be very easy to make money.
Therefore, you must hold the dowry firmly in your hands and not give it to anyone else. If someone tries to trick you by claiming to be doing you a favor and managing your dowry, don't be polite and slap them back.
Even if he's your husband, don't be polite and beat him up. A man who's obsessed with his wife's dowry is either stupid or bad, or both."
