Gu Sangu didn't know that Guo Wan initially wanted to find someone better, thinking that since she was the sister of the imperial son-in-law, she might be able to marry a prince!
The Empress Dowager was such a shrewd person. How could she allow her only granddaughter to be bothered by her sister-in-law?
Therefore, the Empress Dowager used some means to get Guo Wan to agree to the marriage willingly.
She wouldn't force it, otherwise it would be difficult for her granddaughter!
As for Guo Yan, it's even easier to explain. The Empress Dowager wouldn't allow her wicked mother-in-law to bully her own granddaughter. For the sake of her grandson-in-law, she wouldn't punish the wicked mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law, but she would definitely make clear arrangements for the three of them, and keep them far away. She chose a girl from Qingzhou for Guo Yan.
The fiancés chosen for these two siblings are not from bad families. As long as you live honestly, life will be good. Of course, if you want to cause trouble, then you can't blame others.
Such a family is naturally considered good in the eyes of Gu Sangu's mother-in-law. Now, she herself is unwilling to live with Gu Sangu and her husband anymore. She heard from others that marrying a princess as a daughter-in-law means you have to endure mistreatment and you can't control her, but if you marry a girl from an ordinary family, you can control your daughter-in-law. If she doesn't listen, you can complain to the princess daughter-in-law and the prince consort's son.
This "other person" was none other than someone arranged by the Empress Dowager.
Therefore, Gu Sangu's mother-in-law firmly stated that she would have her youngest son support her in her old age and would not cause trouble for her eldest son and his wife.
It must be said that the Empress Dowager was truly devoted to her descendants, and she was willing to solve all their problems.
Uncle Gu changed his clothes and went into the palace with Aunt Gu.
Upon arriving at the Empress Dowager's palace, he respectfully performed the grand salute.
The Empress Dowager stepped forward to help him up: "Eldest son, you're back! Let your grandmother see, you seem to have lost weight, you're not as plump as you were two years ago."
Yes, when older people look after children, they often notice how thin the child has become after just a few days.
Other kids would say things like, "Grandma, I haven't lost weight. Grandma, you look like you've lost weight," and so on.
But Uncle Gu was different from ordinary people. He held the Empress Dowager's hand and said, "Grandmother, you don't know, I've really lost weight. I've suffered a lot!"
The Empress Dowager was taken aback.
Uncle Gu continued, “Grandmother, let me tell you, the second son is heartless. He sent me to the wasteland to reclaim wasteland and even planned to make me build a city there, so he won’t let me come home. My mother only cares about my father, and my father only cares about my mother. As for my wife, all she wants to do is have children and go through postpartum confinement and childbirth with my two younger siblings. I’m suffering! Grandmother, you can’t be biased! The third son is in the capital. You can fatten him up to be as fat as my wife. I don’t care. I finally found an elder who cares about me. Grandmother, you must fatten me up while I’m in the capital. Grandmother, what do you say?”
"Hahahaha..." The Empress Dowager was amused by him and patted his hand, saying, "Oh dear, my eldest grandson has been wronged. Your parents deserve a beating, and the second son deserves a beating, but don't worry, Grandma will take care of it for you. I will definitely raise you to be as chubby as the third son. Grandma loves raising children the most."
"Hehehe, I knew Grandmother loved me." Uncle Gu helped the Empress Dowager walk to a chair. "Grandmother, come on, let's sit down and talk. It's tiring to talk standing up. I'd feel bad if you got tired!"
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to my great-grandson!" The Empress Dowager was as sweet as if she had just eaten a jar of honey.
