Mrs. Xie misses her grandson Liu Feng.
He ordered Mrs. Hu to send someone to the Wang Mansion to pick up Liu Feng and let him stay at the Gu Mansion for a few days.
While pretending to agree to reassure Xie, Mrs. Hu sent someone to inform Gu Cheng to return home quickly.
The only person who can truly deal with the Xie family is Gu Yan.
Gu Gong was a little short of the mark.
As a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hu would say that some things that Gu Cheng said were okay were totally wrong and unfilial to her.
Hu Shi was not tired of living, and of course she did not want to be labeled as an unfilial person. Therefore, she handed the hot potato to Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng hurried back from the yamen.
Mrs. Hu was waiting for him at the second gate and whispered, "Madam has urged me twice, and I'm almost at my wit's end. If you don't come back, I'm going to hide at my aunt's house."
Gu Cheng smiled bitterly, "It won't be that serious. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
In the past few years, Xie has been eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures. He has lost some weight, his skin has improved, and he looks in good spirits.
In her early years, she was confused.
Later I took medicine and it cured me.
After he recovered, he began to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures.
Liu Feng's sudden arrival brought back all of Xie's memories of Gu Yue.
When she looked at Liu Feng, it was as if she saw Gu Yue, her most precious daughter.
She missed Gu Yue, but the dead could not be resurrected, so she could only find solace in Liu Feng.
She calculated the time carefully, and it was almost a month since their last meeting. She then instructed Mrs. Hu to send someone to the palace to bring Liu Feng to stay for two days.
As a result, no one came, no matter how long he waited.
The palace is in the capital, not thousands of miles away. Why would it take so long to pick someone up?
Xie frowned and guessed that it was her daughter-in-law Hu who was behind this.
She sent people to urge her repeatedly, but Mrs. Hu did not come. Instead, it was her own son Gu Yan who came.
Mrs. Xie's face turned serious. "Where is Mrs. Hu? Is she trying to trick you again?"
"She didn't fool her son."
"Since she didn't fool you, why didn't she dare to come see me?"
Gu Cheng rubbed his brows, feeling a little tired. "Madam wants to see Liu Feng?"
"Liu Feng is your sister's child. He has a miserable life and lost his mother when he was young. As his uncle, you should treat him better."
Gu Cheng said, "Mother cannot bring Liu Feng here."
"Why not?" Mrs. Xie was furious. "Did Mrs. Hu instigate you? I knew she was not a good person. Ever since she came into the family, you and your mother have become estranged. You no longer listen to me."
When Xie talked about the sad things, she started crying.
Gu Cheng remained unmoved. "Even if Mrs. Hu hadn't entered the family, my son wouldn't have listened to you."
These words dealt a heavy blow to the Xie family.
Xie was stunned and forgot to cry.
She couldn't believe that her own son was so cruel to her.
Her cheeks trembled and her lips opened and closed. She wanted to speak but no words came out.
Gu Cheng continued, "My third sister was driven out of the palace by the prince, which means that our Gu family no longer has any relationship with the palace. As for Liu Feng, he is from the Chu Palace and has no relationship with the Gu family either. So mother, please don't think about him anymore."
Xie finally spoke, "He is your nephew."
Gu Cheng's face was cold, "My son doesn't have a nephew like him. Mother should just give up."
Bang!
Mrs. Xie slammed the table, "You're such a rebel! I'm old and useless. I don't dare bother you on weekdays, for fear that you'll despise me. Now I have only one request. I want to see Feng'er, and you must send someone to bring him here. Otherwise, I will go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to pick him up myself."
Gu Cheng was in a headache. "Mother wants to take Liu Feng to live with us. Has she asked Father for his opinion?"
"Your father has no right to stop me from letting my grandson stay with me for a few days." Xie said righteously.
Gu Cheng wiped his face and said, "To be honest with you, mother, I went to the palace before I came back. The palace was very unhappy. They told me clearly that there would be no more contact between the two families. The palace will strictly discipline Liu Feng and not allow him to run around. They also told us, the Gu family, not to worry about Liu Feng."
"How could this happen?" Xie was stunned and asked anxiously, "Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Gu Cheng's face was expressionless as he continued, "My son secretly inquired about it. Liu Feng's manners are not very good. He is not liked by the prince, and the princess is also quite cold to him. Because he ran to the Gu family without permission, the prince found out and ordered him to be locked up in the manor to learn the rules. He said that he could only return to the capital when he had learned the rules well."
"How could the prince be so cruel!"
Xie suddenly covered her face and burst into tears.
Gu Cheng listened to Xie's sobbing and said, "For Liu Feng's own good, let's not go to the palace to disturb him. The prince doesn't like him to have anything to do with our Gu family. If the prince knew about what happened today, Liu Feng would be punished twice as much."
Xie was very sad. "The prince is so cruel to Yue'er's only child. It's also his child."
Gu Cheng hesitated and said, "Children without mothers always suffer."
Xie nodded repeatedly, this was absolutely right.
"Feng'er suffered because he lost his mother so early. The prince is also cruel and forbids Feng'er from associating with his maternal family. It's too much."
Gu Cheng said, "According to the rules of the palace, Liu Feng only has one maternal grandfather, and that is the princess's family, the Wen family."
Xie was stunned on the spot.
Gu Cheng emphasized again, "Mother, have you forgotten that my third sister was carried into the palace in a sedan chair, and she is just a concubine in the palace."
"Don't talk about your sister like that." Xie suddenly exploded and yelled at Gu Cheng.
Gu Cheng was not angry. "I am just telling the truth. I would like to remind you that when my third sister was brought into the palace, my father announced that he would cut off all ties with her. If she had not been kicked out by the prince, the Gu family would never have accepted her back."
Xie was so angry that her chest heaved violently and her cheeks turned the color of liver.
She glared at Gu Cheng.
"You are so cruel! How could you say that about your own sister? How could you... you... Even if the prince forbids Liu Feng from associating with the Gu family, you should at least take care of him in private. Where is he being held captive? I've prepared some money for him. Send it to him."
Gu Cheng frowned, "Mother, don't you understand? No one in our Gu family can have any contact with Liu Feng. I don't know which farm he is imprisoned in, and I won't send anyone to inquire about his situation, let alone send him money to look after him."
Xie stared at Gu Cheng blankly.
Gu Cheng once again said sternly, "My son doesn't have a nephew like him."
Xie shed silent tears. "Yue'er died such a tragic death. I didn't hold it against you, you butchers. Liu Feng is Yue'er's only child left in the world, and you were so cruel to him. Do you have a conscience?"
"When my third sister did something shameless like that, I lost my conscience."
Xie suddenly stopped crying.
Gu Cheng said with a cold expression, "Mother, don't play dumb with me. You know everything about my third sister, right? I remember my second sister told you everything."
"She's talking nonsense. She's slandering Yue'er."
Gu Cheng gave a bitter laugh. "Did mother see Liu Feng's appearance clearly that day? Who does he look like?"
Xie's body shook violently, like a sieve.
She stood up suddenly, knocking over the chair.
"Don't ask me. I don't know anything. I can't see anything. How can a woman like me know about such things?"
Xie hid in the inner room, in the corner of the bed.
Gu Yan stood up and followed her into the inner room, squatted down and looked at Xie.
"Mother, there's no need to play dumb. You know, I know. If you don't want to ruin our family, don't mention Liu Feng again. And don't send anyone to take him to the Gu Mansion."
Xie looked at Gu Yan with a frightened and vulnerable expression.
She grabbed Gu Cheng's sleeve, her voice filled with fear and nervousness. She lowered her voice and asked quietly, "Does the prince know? Has the prince also seen it?"
Gu Cheng shook his head. "At the moment, it seems like not yet. If Mother continues to mention Liu Feng and attracts the prince's attention, that might change. If the prince discovers the truth, Liu Feng will be finished, and so will our Gu family."
Xie nodded repeatedly, "I know, I know everything. I was hoping for the best before. I thought he was your sister's only child, and I had to take good care of him for her no matter what. I didn't expect it would cause the King of Chu's wrath. Promise me you won't let the prince know."
Gu Cheng nodded solemnly, "Son promises not to let His Majesty know."
Xie was unsure, "Really? Can you really guarantee that?"
"Son promises."
Xie breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed her whole body, and slid down.
Gu Cheng quickly helped her up and laid her down on the bed. "Mother, have a good rest. If you feel uncomfortable, I will call a doctor for you."
Mrs. Xie shook her head slightly. "No need to call a doctor. I'm just too tired. A good night's sleep will be fine."
"Mother, take care of yourself. Your son is leaving."
"Go!"
Gu Yan was silent for two seconds, then turned and left the bedroom.
Xie's fingers trembled as she took out a pearl necklace from under the pillow. It was the jewelry that Gu Yue once wore.
She held the necklace and cried silently.
…
Mrs. Hu has been waiting for Gu Cheng.
After he returned to his room, Mrs. Hu hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?"
Gu Cheng felt relieved. "I've already talked it through with my mother. Don't worry, she won't mention Liu Feng again from now on. She already knows how powerful he is, and she's terrified."
Mrs. Hu was stunned. "So, Madam noticed from the beginning that Liu Feng looked like a member of the Xie family, but she didn't say a word. She even asked me to send someone to bring Liu Feng to live in the mansion. Doesn't she know that this will kill the whole family?"
"I've already told her, and she knows how serious this is. Don't be angry."
Mrs. Hu was furious. How could she not be angry?
It turns out that she is worrying so much that she is afraid that the reputation of the Gu family will be damaged.
As a result, Xie pretended to be stupid the whole time, pretending that nothing happened, and asked her to send someone to bring Liu Feng to her house to stay for a few days.
This is ridiculous!
Mrs. Hu was almost angry to death.
She couldn't scold Xie.
So he took out all his anger on Gu Cheng and decisively went into a cold war with him, "Go sleep in the study."
Gu Yan was caught in the middle, being bullied from both sides and wanted to die.
Can you guys please think about him?
He's the one who works the hardest, okay?
