Chapter 254 More Concerns

Madam Gu glanced at Madam Guo and couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you following their lead? This surname can be changed at will, and this is not a commoner's family. Once it involves the affairs of the previous dynasty, do you think it will be that easy?"

Madam Gu's words were full of worry, not just about the change of surname, but also about the impact it would have on the political situation.

Old Madam Guo didn't think too much about it. She just felt that Shang Ji and his wife were so filial that they moved heaven. Then she slapped the table and said.

"He's a good man, worthy of being the grandson of Marshal Gu. Let your grandmother be hers, and Grandmother Guo will support you. I don't believe that after what happened today gets out, the Duke's Mansion will still have the nerve to say something."

Then he asked his elder sister-in-law Liu and Xue Niang.

"If I tell you about the grievances you suffered in the Duke's Mansion, would you mind? We are all family, so just tell the truth to me, an old woman."

The eldest sister-in-law Liu didn't say anything, but Xue Niang spoke first with dissatisfaction.

"It's a real matter. There's no reason why we can't announce it to the public. Grandma Guo can handle it. If necessary, Xue Niang can also have a good cry in front of the ladies!"

Her temper made Guo Jia Silang next to her couldn't help but look at her sideways. It seems that she is still a girl with a temper.

And their eldest sister-in-law, Liu, was more than ten years older than them, so she would not be the kind of person who would act recklessly.

After careful consideration, he spoke.

"Ping'er is not in the capital, so even if the people in the Duke's Mansion want to harm him, they can't. As for me, I will just follow Grandmother Guo's orders."

"Okay, we are united. I don't believe that there won't be a few loyal and righteous people in the Daxing Dynasty. Let's spread the word to the Duke's Mansion so that they can know what it feels like to be bullied."

"You, why are you still in such a bad mood?"

Old Madam Gu was very worried and spoke directly to Old Madam Guo.

"Without my temper, the Guo family wouldn't be here today. But you, have you been a widow for so many years and have you calmed down? The Duke's Mansion has bullied you so much, are you going to bite your teeth and swallow it?"

When the fourth aunt heard this, her anger came out and she said to Old Madam Guo.

"What Aunt Guo said is, if we change our surname to Gu and marry into the Gu family, I think we can change Xue Niang and Ping Er's surnames as well. We want to let the people in the Duke's Mansion know that even if they don't feel sorry for us, the Gu family will!"

Fourth aunt's words made Xueniang's eyes suddenly excited, and then she nodded heavily and spoke.

"I do."

Gu Xuenniang, Shang Xuenniang, no matter what the surname is, it is hers, but if she has a choice, she would rather choose Gu.

After hearing this, sister-in-law Liu was at a loss for words.

She had made too many decisions for Ping'er in the past, but this matter was of great importance. If even Ping'er changed her surname to Gu, then he would never have a chance to be part of the Duke's Mansion again.

Sister-in-law Liu was full of concerns, and Du Jingyi obviously saw it, so he spoke to the rescue.

"Don't make a fuss, Xue Niang. Your marriage with the Guo family has already been decided. It is agreed that you will be a daughter of the Shang family and you will always be a daughter of the Shang family. This cannot be changed at will. Otherwise, the previous engagement letter and all other things will be invalid."

Hearing this, Xue Niang's body softened and she didn't say anything more.

Du Jingyi's words also helped sister-in-law Liu out of the predicament. She looked at Du Jingyi with great gratitude. The two sisters-in-law looked at each other and felt comforted.

Madam Gu obviously knew why Du Jingyi did this, so she waved her hand and spoke.

"Today is the wedding day of the Guo family. Let's not talk about this anymore. I will talk to you and your wife in detail later. And you, you should control your temper at your age. Don't forget that the Guo family is not just the Guo family. There are so many eyes watching behind the scenes."

After saying that, she glanced in the direction of the East Palace, and Madam Guo also understood what Madam Gu meant. She was telling them to be careful that someone would use this incident as an excuse to attack the prince.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Guo suppressed her temper.

Having said this, there wasn't much else to say, so I just sat for a while and then left the general's mansion.

As soon as they left, Old Madam Gu looked at Shang Ji angrily and said in an evil voice.

"Follow me back to Xulaiyuan!"

"Yes, Grandma!"

Fourth aunt and eldest sister-in-law Liu were still thinking about going to see what was going on, but they were stopped by Du Jingyi, who shook his head slightly and said.

"Let the general talk to Grandmother about these things himself. I'm afraid they will be a little concerned if we are present."

Seeing this, the two of them didn't say anything more, and Xue Niang also remembered that her recklessness just now made her sister-in-law embarrassed, so she hugged her sister-in-law's arm and said with guilt.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Sister-in-law, please forgive me. I spoke too quickly."

"Alas, if Ping'er's father hadn't given me a last word before his death, I wouldn't have done this. I also asked my sister-in-law to help me out. Is it not my responsibility as the eldest sister-in-law..."

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Du Jingyi.

"Sister-in-law, we are a family. Ping'er's future is what the general and I care about, so there is no need to blame yourself. What belongs to Ping'er should be Ping'er's."

There were only a few people in their family at the moment, so Du Jingyi didn't hide much.

It is obvious that after Shang Ji entered the Gu family, he had to help Ping'er secure the position of the young master, and what would follow would surely be a counterattack from Madam Wei and others, so they all had to be prepared.

Although the weather was fine and sunny outside, everyone in the general's mansion was feeling somewhat gloomy and melancholy.

However, the mansion of Princess Yuehua, which was also celebrating a happy occasion, was bustling with activity.

The spring banquet at the princess's mansion was prepared many days in advance, so every detail was exquisite and elegant.

The landscape displays all reveal the gesture of spring, with willows swaying in the wind, clear ponds and bright roads, and the people bustling about.

Princess Yuehua's invitation invited all the famous families in Sui'an City to a banquet. Although there were fewer men, the ladies brought all the young men and women from their families.

Therefore, there are young figures everywhere, and the vitality they exude also adds a lot of charm to the territory of Princess Yuehua's mansion.

In the waterside pavilion, Princess Yuehua sat at the head of the table, accompanied by the Crown Princess and the Fourth Prince's wife on her left and right. Logically, they should all call her "Aunt Yuehua".

Therefore, even though people from both sides had long been fed up with each other, they were all smiling generously at this moment.

"Auntie's spring banquet is really a delight to watch. I have to say that only you can be so respectable."

The Fourth Prince's wife spoke first. She was a sweet-talker, so even if the person in front of her was a ghost, her words could touch the person's heart.
