"That Wei Jialian is also a cruel person. After returning, she drank the abortion drug and managed to pull out the baby at such an advanced age. It turned out to be a boy. She was wrapped in blood and sent back to the Fourth Prince's residence. I heard that everyone in the Fourth Prince's residence was frightened to death."
When Gu Shaoyu told this news, Du Jingyi was also sighing.
For her, if her husband betrayed her, the child would only be a child of the Du family and would never be controlled by anyone else. She really couldn't do something like Wei Jialian, who directly killed the child and sent it back to her ex-husband's home.
However, she would not blame too much.
After all, I can bear it because of the consideration of my mother's family and the confidence that I can raise my child well, so I never see others suffering and never speak ill of others.
"What is the Fourth Prince's Mansion planning now?"
"Of course, they have cut ties with the Wei family, but there is news that the Dingping Marquis's Mansion is already selecting a suitable woman to send to the Fourth Prince's Mansion. I guess there will be another wedding at the Fourth Prince's Mansion in the next few days."
“So soon?”
When Du Jingyi asked this question, he reacted quickly.
It has to be quick. If the emperor dies in one breath, the Fourth Prince will have to observe mourning for a year. During this period, who knows whether the connection between him and Dingping Marquis' Mansion will still be as close as before. After all, the biggest connection, Wu'er, is gone, and Concubine Jia is said to be seriously ill in bed.
So, before Gu Shaoyu opened his mouth, she had already figured out a lot of things.
"What about Shang Qilang? Is there any movement? If Madam Wei knew that it was her good son who teamed up with Dingping Marquis's Mansion to set up such a game, what do you think she would think?"
When mentioning Madam Wei, the disdain in Gu Shaoyu's eyes was very obvious. He then took a sip of the tea at hand and slowly spoke.
"After doing so much, of course I have to let the Wei family know. Madam Wei has been scheming against so many people for so many years, it's time for her to have a taste of the feeling of being stabbed in the back by her family. And Princess Fu is also a vicious person, so it's better to deal with her this time!"
"General, do you have any ideas?"
"The Wei family has better ways to deal with them than I do."
Madam Wei is from the Taiwei Mansion. If it weren't for her natal family's success in recent years, the Gu family and the Duke's Mansion would have declined, and it would not have been her turn as a concubine to become the legal wife. So all these years, she and the Wei family have been mutually beneficial. Now Gu Shaoyu wants to see if the family members who have always been close to each other can still show unity at a time like this!
After saying this, he drank the tea in his hand.
"By the way, the Queen sent someone to send a message saying that a banquet will be held in Changchun Palace the day after tomorrow to welcome you and the children."
"For me? And the children? How could it be?"
"According to the words of the Empress, this is a pregnancy of three sons. Such a good omen requires a grand celebration, but it is not as big as the children's second birthday party. We can just have a simple meal in Changchun Palace."
It’s just a simple meal. There is no such thing as simple in this royal banquet.
Although Du Jingyi was a little surprised, since the message had been delivered, if they didn't go, it would mean they didn't know the rules, so he asked immediately.
"Who else did the queen invite?"
"The East Palace, the Guo family, our mansion, and of course the Earl of Weiyuan's Mansion and the Li family that you've always cared about."
When he heard the name of the Li family, Du Jingyi smiled.
"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the general."
"If this marriage can really be settled, it will be a good thing for both Sister Yu and Ping'er. Father won't be able to hold on for much longer, and Ping'er should be able to stand on her own."
"Father, his illness still hasn't improved at all?"
"No."
Gu Shaoyu did not tell the Duke Shang Yukuan about Madam Wei's evil treatment. Firstly, he did not want her to worry about it, and secondly, there was no need to do so. His situation was not necessarily better than the emperor's, so it was hard to say who came first and who came later.
Therefore, he did not intend to say anything that would make others feel guilty.
In the future, even if my father has resentment in his heart and wants to come into my dreams to scold me, he can just scold me alone, and my wife and eldest sister-in-law will not have to take the blame.
So, he suppressed the thoughts in his mind and talked about other things with Du Jingyi.
"Brother Tai will be three years old in a few days. After these things are over, I plan to take him to live in the Tiger Guards for ten days or half a month, so as to temper his delicate nature. He will have to support the Gu family in the future. If he only knows about wealth and does not understand suffering, it will not work."
Du Jingyi had no objection to this.
"The general is the one who makes the decision. Brother Tai really likes General Mu now. Maybe when he goes to the military camp, he will find everything new and interesting."
Du Jingyi's words reminded Gu Shaoyu of the days when he first followed his grandfather into the military camp as a child. At that time, he was accompanied by several cousins. He couldn't help crying until the third day.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
So, he was also very curious, when would Tai Ge'er start crying?
Outside the window, the sprouting branches are growing harder and harder, while inside the house, there is a warm atmosphere.
Two days passed in a flash.
Everyone in the Gu family got up early to prepare for entering the palace.
The palace banquet in Changchun Palace was scheduled for noon, but they were not really going there for the meal, so naturally they had to go earlier.
This time, was also the first time that the three brothers showed up in front of the dignitaries in Sui'an City, so the Gu family attached great importance to it.
For example, Tai Ge'er was a man of high status, so the style of his clothing followed certain rules. However, the three brothers usually wore simple and comfortable clothes, so it was certainly inappropriate for them to wear such clothes when meeting the Queen.
Fortunately, Eunuch Hu in Changchun Palace was also a thoughtful person. When he delivered the message, he also sent over several sets of clothes prepared by the Inner Court. So when the three brothers changed into them today, no one could say anything wrong.
As for Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi, they were also people of high rank. Since it was a palace banquet, they naturally had to wear proper court robes.
Therefore, everyone in Xitang Court was very careful and serious, not daring to make even the slightest mistake.
After getting dressed, everyone walked out of Xitang Courtyard.
The eldest sister-in-law Liu and Ping'er were also ready, but the Du couple stayed at home, hoping that they would return home soon.
As the carriage drove towards the imperial city, Du Jingyi was still a little nervous.
After all, the last time she went there was the day when she and Old Madam Gu entered the palace to resign. Now three years have passed in a flash. She is still the same person, but Queen Guo may not be the same Queen Guo as before.
Glancing at his sister-in-law Liu who was sitting next to him, Du Jingyi felt a little more relaxed by her reserved and suppressed demeanor. After reaching out and holding her hand, Du Jingyi said comfortingly.
