Chapter 051: Stealing a Chicken, Losing the Rice
Su Jin was confused.
???
She stared at Gu Changqing with some surprise.
Did this man's head get caught in a door? When he was with the original body before, he was so lucky to be able to say a word, let alone praise her. Now he actually said that she did a good job? ?
She subconsciously said: "Are you here to quarrel with me?"
“…”
Gu Changqing was speechless. Why did he look like he was about to have a quarrel?
On second thought, maybe it was because I neglected my wife too much on a daily basis that this happened.
Thinking about it, Gu Changqing softened his voice: "Take the children back first, I still have something to say to Lord Cao."
Su Jin was terrified. Oh my god, is this man crazy? Doesn't he hate his wife the most? Why is he being so gentle now?
She turned around almost immediately, took the child and walked out, avoiding Gu Changqing as if he were a snake or scorpion.
The two children looked curious, and Gu Suiyu subconsciously asked, "Mom, Dad is talking to you again, isn't that good? Why are you running away?"
Su Jin runs faster than a rabbit.
"What a joke! For women, there is more than just one path to follow in this world."
Gu Sui Yu was stunned, and suddenly felt that his mother's words sounded so novel.
Aren’t all women in this world like this?
Obey your father at home, obey your husband after marriage, and obey your son after your husband's death. It seems that it has always been like this, right?
Is there any other way to go besides this?
Gu Sui Yu gently held Su Jin's hand.
Today's events have once again become known to everyone, but this time the ones who made the biggest fool of themselves were Lin Yousheng and his aunt Lin Xiaoniang.
One shamelessly deceived the granddaughter of the Yong'an Marquisate, and the other was obviously a concubine, but she had to jump around in front of the mistress, and even indulged her nephew, deliberately humiliating the face of the Yong'an Marquisate.
"Have you heard? Miss Lin is the eldest lady's distant cousin. At first, she cried and begged to go and play with her cousin. The eldest lady was kind enough to let her in to play, but she ended up playing on her brother-in-law's bed!"
"I know, I know. For so many years, the affair between these two sisters has caused a lot of uproar in the city. Everyone knows about it. I also know that Miss Lin relies on her favor to make things difficult for the eldest lady!"
"Everyone used to say that the Madam had bad character, but now I understand that she has a good character. It must be Miss Lin who is talking nonsense outside and spreading rumors that the Madam is a bad person!"
"Yes, I also found out. The eldest lady handled the Su Ji Restaurant incident very beautifully. She is also very beautiful. It is surprising that such a person would be ignored by her husband. Now look, humph, it must be this shameless Miss Lin who is causing trouble!"
"I can only say that the son of Yong'an Marquis's mansion is blind. He was actually deceived by a vixen!"
Everyone in the court saw it clearly.
The Fourth Young Lady had been standing among them, but Gu Changqing didn't say anything, Su Jin didn't say anything, and even the people in the court didn't point any finger. Only Lin Wanhui had to jump out and pull the Fourth Young Lady out. It was obvious that she had bad intentions.
Lin Wanhui was used to jumping around in the Marquis' Mansion, and when she went out, she thought that people outside were as easy to fool as Gu Changqing, but unfortunately she was wrong. Such a stupid outcome would only make everyone see her character clearly.
This Lin Wanhui is not a good person.
But Gu Changqing neglected the eldest lady for her. It can only be said that Gu Changqing, the head of the family, was too stupid to favor such a concubine and alienate Su Jin, the perfect wife.
People were talking about it a lot, and as soon as Gu Changqing left the prefecture, he felt people pointing fingers at him. He stood up and got into the sedan chair, but the discussions outside never stopped, which made his face look more and more ugly.
Lin Wanhui's performance today really disappointed him.
Inside the mansion, everything is fine behind closed doors, but outside, one cannot even tell the difference between right and wrong. Outside, no matter what, of course the reputation of the mansion is the most important!
The more Gu Changqing thought about it, the angrier he became. He just wanted to give Lin Wanhui a good scolding when he got back.
At this time, Lin Wanhui was already sitting in the room.
Mother Li gave her a bowl of plum soup to calm her down, but Lin Wanhui was so angry that she couldn't drink it.
"Su Jin must have done this on purpose!"
Her eyes turned red with anger: "Her own son is incompetent, but she wants to drag our son of the Lin family to be buried with him. Now, all the students have been taken back. I should have been preparing for the examination for the scholar, but now I have to start all over again like an ordinary person!"
The more Lin Wanhui thought about it, the angrier she became, and tears began to fall.
I originally wanted to let Lin Yousheng hold Gu Suiyu back. If they could get married, that would be the best. With the status of Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, Yousheng would surely soar to the sky, and then their Lin family would be able to be proud. If they could not get married, Gu Suiyu's reputation would be ruined. Then let's see who in the whole capital dares to marry Gu Suiyu!
Su Jin has three children, two of whom are not presentable. One is obsessed with prostitutes, and the other is a disgrace. The master can only count on his own son and daughter to bring honor to the Marquis' Mansion. Then, won't everything in the Marquis' Mansion become his, and Su Jin will have nothing to do with it at all?
But although she had good intentions, the ending was that she lost more than she gained, and even her future prospects were ruined!
"Who is that Xie Huaiguang?"
She became even angrier when she thought of the young man who jumped out. If this person wasn't there, no matter how powerful Su Jin's mouth was, it would be useless.
"He is just a poor scholar with a few acres of thin land at home."
Mother Li didn't care. Although she saved the emperor, the emperor didn't promise anything. Now she is still a grassroots with no background and no money, and is destined to have no future.
Lin Wanhui became even angrier. A poor scholar could make Yousheng suffer a loss. It really pissed her off.
"By the way, did you find out what I asked you to find out?"
Madam Li said, "I have already found out that the person who came to Liuting Pavilion that day was a teacher sent by the eldest lady from her hometown in Hexi. I think his name was Mr. Zhuzhi. I heard that he was very capable. The late emperor also admired his talent and almost kept him as the emperor's tutor."
Lin Wanhui suddenly clenched her handkerchief, her eyes red with jealousy: "So amazing."
It’s great to have a powerful mother’s family. You have everything you need, including gold, silver and jewelry. Now, such a powerful person has been sent to you.
Imperial Master? ?
Be good!
Mother Li said sourly, "Yes, the eldest lady's family has also taken great pains for this useless Xuan brother. They invited such a powerful man, isn't it for his future?"
Future, future. Su Jin is concerned about Gu Zixuan’s future, while Lin Wanhui is more worried about Gu Ziyun’s future!
How could such a good teacher be given to Gu Zixuan? He is a dandy, uneducated and unskillful person who is not worthy of him. It would be a waste to hire a better teacher. He is not as good as his own Ziyun, who is smart and studious. Only his Ziyun is worthy of such a good teacher!
Thinking of this, Lin Wanhui stood up suddenly and said nervously: "No, when will the master come back?"
