Chapter 190 The Prime Minister’s Regret?
Note: The part about carrying a thorn stick to ask for forgiveness was just a random quote from an allusion. Don’t worry about what dynasty this was.
"He has the nerve to come."
When the people present heard that Prime Minister Su was coming, they all stopped smiling. They had naturally heard about the hardships that Gu and Yue'er had endured in the countryside, and that Concubine Liu was even more hateful.
All this happened with the tacit approval of the Prime Minister. They did not expect that the Prime Minister would dare to come and ask for trouble.
"Let him in."
Old Gu pondered for a moment, and considering the overall situation, he gestured for him to come in. After all, he was the prime minister of a country and his son-in-law. If he refused to see him, those who had ulterior motives would make up something for him.
After all, his daughter Qin'er and he are still husband and wife. For the sake of his daughter, he doesn't want to do anything embarrassing.
"Yes!" Not long after the butler left, he saw a familiar figure approaching from afar. Just looking at the way he walked, it seemed that he was carrying something on his back.
When they got closer, they discovered that Prime Minister Su was carrying a bramble on his back. The bramble was extremely long, one end of it was higher than the prime minister's head, and the other end was hanging behind his thigh.
"As your son-in-law, Su Yan, I have failed to take good care of the Gu family's mother and daughter. I am here to apologize." As soon as Prime Minister Su entered the room, he knelt down in front of Mr. and Mrs. Gu, lowered his head and apologized directly, with a very humble attitude.
"What are you doing..." Old Gu originally had many complaints against Su Yan, but now that he knelt directly, Old Gu and the others didn't know where to start scolding him.
"You know that what you did was wrong. Look at Yue'er's hair. You must have suffered so much in the country for five years. Her hair used to be so fine, so black.
Now, because of poor eating, she has become so thin. Let me ask you, when you picked up the mother and daughter, and saw Yue'er so thin, did you feel a little guilty?
And my sister, even though she came back with you, she was still bullied by your aunt. How have you ever upheld justice? ”
Gu Qingzhi didn't buy Su Yan's trick. Seeing him kneel down directly, he started to blame him loudly.
After hearing these words, Su Yan lowered his head very low. Every word Gu Qingzhi said was true and he couldn't refute it.
Gu and Su Yue just looked at Prime Minister Su coldly. When Gu Qingzhi mentioned the hardships they had endured, neither of them showed any emotion.
If you are heartbroken and have no hope, how can you feel wronged?
Moreover, this person was able to lower her posture to such an extent, naturally because she saw that the Gu family would surely make a comeback. Her father, her husband, had always been such a person who sought profit and avoided harm.
"My brother is right. I was the bastard who was blinded by greed and allowed that lowly slave to bully Qin'er and her daughter."
Prime Minister Su directly took over Gu Qingzhi's words and called him "brother", making it clear that today's affairs were all family affairs and had nothing to do with their status and position.
"You are worthy of calling me that..." Gu Qingzhi narrowed his fierce eyes when he heard Prime Minister Su calling him brother, and was about to refute.
"Butler Su, bring the person up!" Prime Minister Su shouted loudly, shocking everyone present. They all turned their heads to look towards the door of the hall, wanting to see who Prime Minister Su had brought.
As a result, before they saw the person, they first smelled a foul odor, which made everyone feel nauseous.
Gu Yian, who had just been given a name, also smelled the stench with his little nose and started crying loudly in discomfort. Mrs. Luo hurried to comfort him.
"Third aunt, please take my cousin in to rest. Children sleep a lot, and Yian should be asleep too." Su Yue smelled the stench, and a hint of understanding flashed in her eyes. She was naturally familiar with this smell.
"Then I'll go in." Mrs. Luo did not refuse. After all, the child was crying so pitifully, with tears rolling down from the corners of his eyes like free little pearl beans, which made Mrs. Luo feel very distressed.
So Luo hurriedly picked up the child and went to the inner room.
"Prime Minister, someone is coming." As the familiar voice of Butler Su came, everyone covered their noses and looked at the door, with astonishment in their eyes.
