When General Lu learned that the Qiao family was causing trouble in Prince Jin's mansion, he felt a little worried.
But it is inappropriate for him, a person who has been bedridden for a long time, to suddenly appear in the public eye.
So I asked Madam Lu to resolve this matter, and before she left, I carefully instructed Madam Lu to soften her attitude.
After all, he knew Princess Yan Yang's temperament too well. She always responded to soft tactics and would not tolerate tough ones.
Over the years, he and his mother had coaxed Princess Yan Yang into working wholeheartedly for the mansion. If Qiao Guangzhi hadn't suddenly appeared, he wouldn't have been caught off guard.
Old Madam Lu returned home and told General Lu that Princess Yan Yang had publicly announced that she had broken off relations with him.
In a rage, he scolded everyone, including Mrs. Lu.
General Lu didn't stop his anger until Madam Lu collapsed from anger. He felt resentful towards Madam Lu, blaming her for secretly supporting Qiao Guangzhi and not wanting to take care of her, so he assigned Qiao, who had just sneaked in, to serve her.
General Lu had himself carried to stop Princess Yan Yang from moving her dowry out of the mansion, but was severely scolded by Prince Jin and did not even get to see Princess Yan Yang.
He could only write letters to Princess Yan Yang every day, recalling the past and begging for Princess Yan Yang's forgiveness.
However, the letter did not mention the news of expelling Qiao Guangzhi.
Because he also felt that Lu Xiuyuan had gone to the battlefield and no news had been sent back yet, he had to preserve the bloodline for the Lu family.
The Lu family had lost its mistress, the old lady had fallen ill, and General Lu had been claiming to be ill, so with the support of Qiao Guangzhi, Qiao naturally took over the management of the Lu family.
Housekeeper Qiao said that the guards at the Lu Mansion had relaxed a lot, and Dan Ruo easily entered Gu Wanru's yard because there was no one on duty.
In the house, Qiao Guangzhi was annoyed by Gu Wanru's pestering. Gu Wanru begged Qiao Guangzhi to give her money to hire a better doctor to see her.
She said that Qiao didn't give her any money, not even the most basic monthly salary.
Qiao Guangzhi was very unhappy when he heard Gu Wanru complaining about her mother. "The doctor has already prescribed medicine for you. Why spend extra money?"
Gu Wanru also wore a veil in the house, and she didn't dare let Qiao Guangzhi see her face.
"The medicine prescribed by the court doctor didn't work for me."
Not only was it bad, but after using it, it caused pus to ooze out and ulcers to form, and it was extremely itchy. She couldn't help but scratch it, which caused the itching to recur and become increasingly serious.
Dan Ruo smiled cunningly when he heard this. It seemed that the ointment he made was quite effective.
When the original owner was injured by her, he wanted to secretly pay for a doctor to see him and get some medicine. He spent all his savings to get connections and buy medicine from outside.
But she was discovered by Gu Wanru, who took the medicine away and stopped her from applying it.
In order to save face, Gu Wanru knelt down and begged Qiao Guangzhi to give her some money for the sake of her child so that she could see a doctor outside.
Qiao Guangzhi pushed her away, full of sarcasm:
“Everyone else has a dowry, but you don’t. Why don’t you ask your parents for a dowry? That way you can have money and face.
I don't want to waste money on a dull face."
Gu Wanru's heart ached: "I don't have a dowry, and it's because I had an affair with you before marriage. I could have been Lu Xiuyuan's legal wife, but in order to marry you, I became your concubine while pregnant, and you actually treated me like this."
Qiao Guangzhi was even more disdainful.
"That's because you're willing to have an affair with me. What can I do about it? You're a young lady from a wealthy family, surrounded by a bunch of maids. How can I force you to do it?"
After saying this, he got up and left with full impatience.
Gu Wanru's sobbing voice was heard from inside the house. Danruo gave money to Chunxiang, the maid of the Lu Mansion, and asked her to continue to keep an eye on Gu Wanru before leaving.
The next day, Gu Wanru told Mrs. Qiao that she wanted to go back to her parents' home to get some money for her dowry. When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she smiled happily and immediately arranged a carriage to take Gu Wanru home.
When they arrived at the Gu Mansion, Gu Wanru explained her purpose and Lord Gu drove her out.
It happened that Li the matchmaker entered the room. Gu Wanru recognized at a glance that the hairpin on Li the matchmaker's head was her mother's dowry, so she was about to go up to Li the matchmaker and argue with her.
Matchmaker Li sneered and said, "These were all gifts from your father. I'm returning them to you. I will never be your father's matchmaker again, so I don't have to bother with him."
I am the only one in the whole capital who is willing to help your father find a match.
Lord Gu hurriedly comforted Matchmaker Li, and then had Gu Wanru forcibly sent away.
Gu Wanru finally understood that her father wanted to use her mother's dowry to marry a new wife.
Gu Wanru thought that after she gave birth to the child, she would make her father regret his behavior today.
Little did he know that Lord Gu had already learned about Gu Wanru's situation in the Lu Mansion through her maid. He regretted supporting her at that time and now just wanted to quickly find a powerful Yue family to help him.
After she was kicked out, she planned to go to the prison to find her mother. Her mother was so smart, she must have some hidden money.
Danruo received Chunxiang's message and asked Xuanping Hou to give a greeting to the Tianlao so that Gu Wanru would not be unable to enter and see Madam Gu.
Dan Ruo also took the wife of Marquis Xuanping to the Heavenly Prison to visit her old friend.
When Lady Xuanping heard Danruo calling her to go to the prison, her face froze, "My dear, I'm worried about your health. It's best for you to rest at home now."
Dan Ruo smiled. Yesterday, the wife of Marquis Xuanping asked the court physician to check her pulse and confirmed the pregnancy.
She told herself to rest assured and take care of her pregnancy, not to worry about anything, as the Xuanping Marquis Mansion would always be her backing.
Dan Ruo also knew that although the health of the wife of Marquis Xuanping had been almost restored by her using the merit points, her heart disease still existed.
She was often awakened by dreams at night, and then ran out of her house in the middle of the night to make sure that her daughter was really found, and then she would feel relieved and go back to rest.
