Qin was startled and quickly defended herself, "This matter is definitely not that simple. Although Xiao Qiao's temper is sometimes a little stubborn, she would never do such an irrational thing!"
"You would never do such an irrational thing?!" Gu Mingyuan shouted angrily, "Haixia is right. She is an ungrateful person. Not only did she not bring any benefit to our family after receiving the emperor's favor, but now she has offended the Empress Dowager and implicated our entire family.
What did our Gu family owe her in the past life that made her so ungrateful?
"Master, please don't get yourself sick from anger!" Wang patted Gu Mingyuan's back gently and comforted him, "We can find a way to deal with this. We can't just watch the Gu family end like this."
Qin's face turned pale. She knew that what she said was not enough to make Gu Mingyuan change his mind.
But she couldn't help but say, "Master, I believe Xiao Qiao. Maybe there really is a misunderstanding."
She didn't believe that Gu Jinqiao would offend the Queen Mother and Concubine Liang for no reason. She was a filial child and would never become the kind of person that the eldest lady described.
"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! You only know it's a misunderstanding in one day!"
Gu Mingyuan became furious when he heard what Qin said and stood up suddenly, "Tell me, she has caused such a big disaster this time, how can I calm the Queen Mother's anger?
And Jiaojiao, what was originally a good marriage has now been cancelled. Tell me, how are we going to clean up this mess now? "
Gu Mingyuan grew increasingly angry as he spoke, slamming his hand on the table. "It's all your fault for not teaching her well. Why did she have to offend the Empress Dowager and Concubine Liang? Now, our whole family will suffer!"
After hearing the news, Gu Mingyuan was so angry that he had no place to vent, so he had to call Qin over and scold her.
"This is the good daughter you raised! Alright, alright, I'm upset just seeing you now, go back to your own yard and reflect on your actions, and don't let me see you again!"
Qin's eyes were red, and she stood up with all her might, "Master, please calm down. I'll go back right away. Master, please take care of yourself and don't get too angry."
After saying that, she lowered her eyes and walked out.
But just as he reached the door, he saw the housekeeper running in breathlessly.
"Master, something big has happened!"
"Master, something big has happened!"
…
The housekeeper shouted several times. Gu Mingyuan was already furious, and when he heard him say this, he became even angrier. "Howling? What could be more serious than this?!"
"master......"
The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead and said anxiously, "Master, it's Kyoto! Someone is coming from Kyoto! Go out and take a look!"
Hearing this, Gu Mingyuan stood up suddenly. "What did you say? Someone is coming from Kyoto?"
His first reaction was that the Queen Mother had sent someone to cause trouble for him, but then he comforted himself.
That shouldn't be possible. The Queen Mother is so high and mighty, how could she take a small local official like him seriously?
But the butler spoke again: "Master, it really is someone from Kyoto, riding a tall horse and wearing an official sword."
Gu Mingyuan could no longer sit still, and rushed to the door with his men.
Wang and Qin also hurried out behind, wanting to see who was outside.
Outside the Gu Mansion.
Two men in armor, mounted on fine horses, stood before the door. Seeing Gu Mingyuan emerge, they dismounted and saluted, "Master Gu, we are here to bring you to the capital by imperial decree."
"By order?!"
Gu Mingyuan's heart skipped a beat. "May I ask whose orders the two officials are following?"
The man pulled out an imperial edict from his pocket and handed it to Gu Mingyuan, "Master Gu, please review it."
Gu Mingyuan quickly unfolded it and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the contents clearly.
Not only that, his face turned from gloomy to bright, and he felt ecstatic inside.
This turned out to be his promotion order!
Although it was only a third-rank official position, he was an official of Kyoto after all, and he would settle down in Kyoto in the future.
"Thank you so much, gentlemen! You've come all this way, and I'm so grateful! I'm so grateful! I hope you'll do me the honor of coming into my house to rest for a while, and I'll treat you well."
He excitedly held the transfer order and thanked repeatedly.
The two messengers exchanged a glance and said, "Master Gu, you are too polite. This is our duty. You don't need to thank me."
"We've been ordered to come pick you up this time. You just need to tidy up your home and make some preparations. We'll take care of everything else once you arrive in Beijing."
Gu Mingyuan nodded repeatedly.
Everyone in the Gu Mansion was shocked when they saw this scene.
Unexpectedly, their master was lucky enough to receive a transfer order from the court this time.
This is really great news.
Now, they can finally hold their heads high! In the future, they can also go to the prosperous Kyoto to broaden their horizons.
Wang narrowed her eyes and was secretly happy. The gloom in her heart caused by the Liang family's cancellation of the engagement was swept away.
Once they settled down in Kyoto, there would be many noble young men there, and she would be able to choose a perfect husband for Jiaojiao.
Humph, she even looks down upon the Liang family of Jiangzhou.
Gu Mingyuan even warmly welcomed the two as honored guests, "Please come in and take a seat, gentlemen."
His attitude satisfied the two messengers, who immediately agreed.
After all, who would be willing to do this kind of work that requires traveling across mountains and rivers if there is no money to be made?
When they reached the inner hall, one of the messengers took out the letter from his arms and said, "Master Gu, this is a letter from Concubine Gu that I have sent to you."
The messenger said as he handed the letter to Gu Mingyuan.
Concubine Gu?
Letter from home?
Gu Mingyuan was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and quickly took the letter with both hands.
Dear father, all is well.
Since entering the palace, the daughter has never forgotten her father's instructions...
…
After reading the rest of the article, Gu Mingyuan finally understood that Gu Jinnian had chosen the Emperor between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
She was currently enjoying the emperor's favor, so there was no reason for her to adopt the future prince to Concubine Liang, which offended the empress dowager.
As it turned out, her choice was right.
He had been currying favor with the Liang family for so long, but he hadn't even heard of a promotion. However, as soon as his daughter opened her mouth, the emperor issued an edict.
When Gu Mingyuan thought of this, he became more excited.
If it weren't for Gu Jinluan, how would he have had the chance to go to the capital?
Now, he can finally gain a foothold in the capital!
Well, it turns out that family members are the most reliable.
When his daughter first entered the palace, she had promised him that if she ever gained the emperor's favor, she would do her best to take care of the Gu family, and she had only one request.
That is, to make her mother Qin a co-wife.
