Chapter 249 Chatting with you is quite interesting
Mother Chen stared at Lin Wanhui with a worried look on her face: "But, Prince Rui can't be met just because you want to."
The Duke's Mansion is still easy to deal with, as you can still visit him. But who would dare to go to Prince Rui's Mansion? Without a visiting card, the servants at the gate of the mansion will chase you away. It doesn't matter whether you are from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion or the Duke's Mansion, they will not serve you.
The probability of this happening is even lower, right?
Mother Chen looked at Lin Wanhui worriedly. She always felt that the young lady seemed a little crazy. Maybe it was Gu Ruyu's question about why Su Jin was not her biological mother that irritated the young lady?
Mother Chen said, "My dear, why not? There are so many high-ranking officials in the capital. Even if you marry into the family of a third-rank official, it would be good..."
"That won't do!"
Lin Wanhui slammed the table and said, "Ruyu is the daughter of the Marquis' Mansion. I have heard of those who married up, but never heard of those who married down. Is a third-rank lady worthy of a girl from the Marquis' Mansion?"
Seeing this, Mother Chen looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
If she were the daughter of the old marquis, she would be a lady from a proper marquisate. However, Ruyu was the daughter of Gu Changqing. What kind of official was Gu Changqing? He had been demoted to the seventh rank and didn't even have to attend the morning court. How could she dream of becoming a duke? Or a prince?
A third-rank official is considered to have married high.
Mother Chen didn't say anything. She felt that something was not right with Lin Wanhui's expression and was afraid that if she said too much she would irritate Lin Wanhui again.
"By the way, isn't Su Jin quite familiar with Prince Rui? I heard that her soap business was set up by Prince Rui..."
Lin Wanhui's eyes rolled and she had another bad idea.
However, there was no need for Lin Wanhui to come up with a bad idea. Gu Ruyu left Yong'an Marquis Mansion and went straight to find Su Jin.
She regretted it. She didn’t want Lin Wanhui as her mother anymore. She wanted Su Jin as her mother!
After all, Su Jin is more capable and has more means. Otherwise, why did the Grand Princess hate Gu Suiyu so much at first, but remain silent now?
The more Gu Ruyu thought about it, the more she felt that it was right. If she wanted to marry well, she could only go find Su Jin!
So she ran to Su Jin's door and asked to see Su Jin.
"Just open the door and let me in. Su Jin is my mother, my mother!"
The doorkeeper looked at Gu Ruyu as if she was a fool, and after a long while she said, "Third Miss, you are mistaken, Lin Wanhui is your biological mother. You call Su Jin mother because she was the eldest lady of the Marquis's Mansion and the mistress of all of you. But now that she has left the Marquis's Mansion, she is no longer your mother. When Master Gu marries again, she will be your mother!"
Gu Ruyu was so confused. She was already so old, how could she not understand? She was not stupid, but she couldn't wait for her father to remarry. Besides, who knew what kind of person he would marry?
Compared to those unknown things, she now only trusts Su Jin.
Seeing that the gatekeeper would not let her in, she called out at the door: "Mother, mother, Ruyu is here to see you!"
The noise outside soon alarmed those inside.
Su Jin glanced outside and smiled calmly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, Princess."
Yes, Zhao Yingqiao is here to visit.
This was the first time she visited Su Jin since she left him angrily last time.
Although gifts were sent to Su Jin, Zhao Yingqiao was not there, and everything was done by the servants. After all, she was the eldest princess, so wouldn't it be a bit too cheap for her to visit her in person?
Not until the matter was almost over did Zhao Yingqiao find a random excuse to visit. But as soon as she sat down, she heard shouting outside.
Zhao Yingqiao showed disdain on her face: "Leaving Yong'an Marquis' Mansion is the right choice. Everyone in this mansion has a problem with their brains!"
Marquis Yong'an and his wife, Mrs. Zou, can still say that they are old and confused, but what about Gu Changqing?
He is in his thirties, young and strong, but he always does stupid things. Now he has offended the emperor and was directly demoted to the seventh rank. But he is still not honest. I heard that he is arrogant in front of the matchmaker. People who don’t know him would think that Gu Zilu is going to become the emperor!
Zhao Yingqiao heard some rumors and today she sat here with Su Jin and kept complaining.
"Su Jin, Gu Zilu is your son, right? You really don't care? If Gu Changqing continues to meddle in this way, I think Gu Zilu's marriage will be in jeopardy!"
It can be said that Zhao Yingqiao is a person who worries a lot. There is no way around it. Although there are two sons in the family, the younger one is a troublemaker who will not be satisfied until his mother is pissed off to death.
Zhao Yingqiao was used to worrying about other people, so she subconsciously started to worry about Gu Zilu. How could he have such a father?
Su Jin smiled and said, "Brother Lu is still young. Besides, I am not worried about marriage. I advocate free love."
Zhao Yingqiao: "..."
The Grand Princess looked at Su Jin with an indescribable expression.
Free love?
This word has only ever existed in the royal family...
Oh, that's not right. Even in the royal family there was no such thing as free love. Only Zhao Yingqiao, who was considered a favored princess, could choose Yin Qing for free love. But other princesses and princes were not so lucky. Her sisters were either sent to marry foreign princes or married to princes for political alliances. In short, no one had the ability to choose their true love, not even the emperor.
"Free love..." Zhao Yingqiao smiled for some reason: "You really dare to think so."
Su Jin actually wanted her children to be free to date? She was crazy.
"Yin Zhengnan and Gu Suiyu can be considered to be in a free love relationship, right?" Su Jin couldn't help but curl her lips.
"Huh, are you kidding? I just thought our kid had unrequited love!"
Does Gu Suiyu like Yin Zhengnan?
Zhao Yingqiao really couldn't say it well. The two of them were childhood friends. Since Yin Zhengnan followed Gu Zixuan around, he couldn't avoid contact with Gu Zixuan's sister Gu Suiyu.
Gu Suiyu's gaze towards Yin Zhengnan was rational. A woman's sixth sense told Zhao Yingqiao that Gu Suiyu might not have Yin Zhengnan in his heart.
This silly boy is immersed in his own fantasy and is happy every day.
Stupid as hell.
"...Mother...I am Ruyu..."
The noise outside continued. Zhao Yingqiao was obviously getting impatient. She frowned and said, "Forget it. I'm not in the mood to chat. If you have time, you should go to my house. At least it's bigger and quieter than your place."
What a joke! How could the Grand Princess's Mansion not be big and clean? People who were not clean would have been sentenced to death long ago.
Su Jin didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and could only stand up and see him off.
Zhao Yingqiao said: "The emperor gave you the sixth-rank official position of Siyuan, not because he wanted you to work, but to support you. Now, Gu Changqing, a seventh-rank official, has to bow to you when he sees you, so it doesn't matter whether you do the work of Siyuan or not. When you have time, come to my place more often and chat with you. It's quite interesting..."
