“Our son-in-law is really unlucky. He is so handsome, but he is labeled as disabled.”
Aunt Fang continued, looking regretful,
"Mistress, please don't worry. I heard that Xue'er has sent people to search for famous doctors all over the world in order to cure the Second Prince's cold poison. Is that true?"
"That's true! If Sister Xue helps him cure his cold poison in the future..."
With his status as a prince, he is sure to rise rapidly in rank!
Then, my Xue'er will be able to live a happy life that everyone envies.
Upon hearing this, Gu Qianluo's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and she couldn't help but think of her from her previous life.
At that time, Gu Qianlu thought the same way as Madam Lu: as long as the Second Prince recovered, she would be able to live a good life.
However, men are all fickle.
Although she cured the second prince and enjoyed wealth and honor, the person who ultimately killed her was also the second prince.
As they chatted, Aunt Fang, oblivious to the situation, brought up Gu Qianluo again, teasing her in a shrill voice.
"Our Luo'er is so lucky! She has such a loving husband, and her illegitimate children are so eager to recognize her as their legal mother."
Aunt Mai, tell me, how many mistresses could only dream of this? Hahaha!
"Yes, Aunt Fang, I heard that the eldest son-in-law not only has a mistress, but also two concubines."
Our Miss Luo needs to work harder and give birth to a legitimate son!
Otherwise, what if your future son-in-law doesn't like you anymore? You'll end up with a reputation for being childless, won't you? Hahaha.
As soon as Aunt Fang and Aunt Mai uttered their sharp and sarcastic words, Xiao Cui's anger flared up, and she rolled up her sleeves, ready to step forward and help.
"Miss! Even if it costs me my job, I'll teach them a lesson for you!"
Gu Qianlu frowned and put her arm around Xiao Cui. "You're too impulsive and prone to causing trouble. Let me handle this."
Did they think they could provoke her and embarrass her with a few sarcastic words?
They're really underestimating Gu Qianluo.
Gu Qianlu smiled and walked calmly toward Aunt Mai and Aunt Fang.
"Is Aunt Fang making fun of me again? Luo'er didn't expect that Aunt Fang, who is so old, would still speak so frivolously."
They've even forgotten who they are.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Fang's brows furrowed immediately, and she questioned,
"Gu Qianluo, what do you mean by this?"
Don't think you can get too cocky just because you married into a prestigious family. Look at your sister; she married a prince, and she's not as arrogant as you.
Gu Qianlu slowly walked to Aunt Fang's side and sat down, taking something out of her sleeve and placing it on the table.
"Why don't you take a look at what's written inside, Auntie?"
Aunt Fang was annoyed. She quickly picked up the letters on the table and skimmed through them.
When Aunt Fang finished reading the last line, her hands trembled slightly, and she gave an awkward laugh.
"Luo-jie, look, Aunt Fang was just trying to give you a little pointer, she didn't really mean to go against you, so why don't we just let this matter go?"
Hearing this, Gu Qianluo raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, then sharply reminded her.
“Aunt Fang, it’s one thing for you to be of lowly status, but you also allow your half-sister to do such a despicable thing.”
If this gets back to Father, I wonder how he'll punish you?
Aunt Fang's heart skipped a beat. She stamped her feet in terror, crying out...
"What should I do? What should I do? My lord can't know! Luo-jie, please let me go!?"
Gu Qianlu glanced at her coldly, took back the letter from the table, and said sarcastically,
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place."
"Luo'er! Please let me go! I promise I'll never say anything out of line again! Luo'er! She's your sister too!"
Gu Qianlu lowered her eyes, brushed away Aunt Fang's hand, and strode towards Aunt Mai.
Seeing Fang's behavior, Madam Lu seemed to warn Mai, who was standing beside her.
"Is it really necessary to fawn over her like this just because someone has something on her?"
Aunt Mai, you mustn't be such a fickle person like her, or else....”
Before Madam Lu could finish speaking, Aunt Mai had already shrunk down and tremblingly ran to Gu Qianluo to beg for forgiveness.
Gu Qianluo preferred to be polite first, so she poured her a cup of tea before speaking, and said leisurely.
"Aunt Mai is quite capable! She even knows so much about how many mistresses Luo'er's husband has?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Mai's eyes narrowed into slits in shock, and she explained in a flustered manner,
"Sister Luo, you know I have a sharp tongue. Please don't take what I just said to heart, okay?"
"But Luo'er clearly heard Aunt Mai cursing that Luo'er would be rejected by her husband in the future!"
Any woman who heard those words would remember them forever, wouldn't she?
"Luo-jie, you misheard! You misheard! If you don't believe me, come here, Aunt Mai will get revenge for you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Mai grabbed Gu Qianluo's hand and slapped herself hard across the face several times.
Gu Qianluo narrowed her eyes slightly and curled her lips into a slight smile.
I thought to myself, this Aunt Mai is really going all out. For the sake of her children's future, she's even willing to harm herself.
However, Gu Qianluo finally felt relieved, but she couldn't show it on her face, and said...
"What are you doing, Aunt Mai? Stop it! If you keep hitting her like this, the servants of the Gu family will say that Luo'er is disrespectful to her elders."
“Servants? Where are the servants! Anyone who dares to talk nonsense, Aunt Mai will take care of them for you.”
Gu Qianluo already understood; Aunt Mai was an opportunist.
If we go along with her now, we'll definitely be following Lu's lead again tomorrow.
To deal with this kind of person, you have to lure them in.
Ever since Aunt Mai entered the Gu family, she has liked to put on a show.
The old lady entrusted her with taking care of Gu Qianluo. On the surface, she did her job meticulously, but secretly she put rose thorns in Gu Qianluo's porridge.
"How could Luo'er not know Aunt Mai's intentions?"
From childhood to adulthood, in this Gu family, you have always been the one who has treated me the best.
Luo'er will always remember this kindness.
Hmph! Gu Qianluo has always kept this grudge in her heart.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Mai's eyes darted away, and she shook her head repeatedly.
"Not at all! Not at all! You've always been well-behaved and clever since you were little, so of course I've always liked taking care of you."
"Hehe, if you ever need anything from Luo'er in the future, Aunt Mai, just let me know, don't be shy."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Mai's eyes lit up, and she quickly pressed her advantage, saying...
"Oh! Luo'er is such a good child, but your Aunt Mai is already in her forties, with one foot in the grave, and she still can't let go of your half-sister."
Gu Qianlu raised an eyebrow, seemingly understanding her intention, and leisurely reminded her,
"A month from now, on the birthday of the old lady of the Marquis's mansion, the old Marquis will hold a banquet."
"When the time comes, Third Sister, you'd better seize the opportunity!"
Aunt Mai understood Gu Qianluo's intention, grasped her hands tightly, and wept with joy.
"Oh! I knew it! My Luo'er understands me best!"
Gu Qianluo rolled up her sleeve and covered her mouth, saying slyly, "Of course!"
