Chapter 832: My cousin is reborn and wants to snatch my marriage (41)
Gu Shichu won the championship as expected. She was wearing a fiery red riding suit, standing on the podium with high spirits and vigor, holding the golden pony-shaped trophy and smiling brightly. The people in the audience shouted, "Madam Crown Prince! Madam Crown Prince!"
In fact, more people were calling out to her from women, of all ages. They were all happy that Gu Shichu won the championship, and looked very proud of it.
"Why do they like Gu Shichu so much?" Gu Shiyao asked Shu'er beside her bitterly and unwillingly, "Don't they think she is a bad influence on other young girls?"
Shu'er bit her lip, not knowing how to answer. She actually realized that her wife had a particularly strange obsession with Gu Shichu and Ming Xun. It seemed that she couldn't stand them living better than herself...
Gu Shiyao didn't hear Shu'er's answer for a long time, so she turned around and glared at her fiercely, saying, "Are you mute? I'm asking you a question! Why do these women have such a high liking for Gu Shichu?!"
She lost control of her emotions and spoke louder, so the middle-aged lady who had spoken to her before heard it. She sneered and said, "Why? Of course it's because the horse racing competition was proposed by the Crown Prince's wife. Other recreational competitions such as Cuju, Touhu, archery, wrestling, etc. were also proposed by the Crown Prince's wife. She also allowed women to participate, so that we women can also have fun and live happily. Of course we like her..."
After hearing this, Gu Shiyao raised her head and said, "She brought it up? She..."
Maybe it was because she was too stimulated, but her voice became sharp and piercing, and the jealousy and unwillingness in her tone almost overflowed. The middle-aged lady couldn't help but turn her head away with contempt and no longer paid attention to this inexplicable person.
Gu Shiyao no longer cared about anything else. She knew that the changes in the horse farm were all because of Gu Shichu, and her heart was filled with shock and anxiety.
Why did Gu Shichu come up with so many strange and popular ideas? Was she also reborn? If she was really reborn, why would she be willing to marry Ming Xun instead of finding Tang Buqing and still being her future prime minister's wife?
If she wasn't reborn, why did she change so much? In her previous life, she was just like an ordinary woman, a woman who took care of her husband and children and put her husband first. She didn't do so many shocking things in this life...
Gu Shiyao was puzzled. She wanted to find Gu Shichu and ask him face to face, but she was afraid. She was afraid that Gu Shichu was really reborn and would question her why she took Tang Buqing away, or mock her for not being able to live well even if she married Tang Buqing...
Gu Shichu didn't know about Gu Shiyao's dilemma. After she won the championship, she stuffed the trophy into Mingxun's hands and said, "This trophy is for you, so you don't have to think about the championship trophy so much."
Ming Xun held the trophy carefully and said, "I want the championship trophy that I won, not yours."
Poor Ming Xun, he has never won a championship, and his best result is runner-up, because he always competes with Gu Shichu, and his horse is not as talented as Gu Shichu's Xue Piao, and he can never outrun Xue Piao, so he always finishes behind Gu Shichu.
Fortunately, he was broad-minded and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him being inferior to his wife. Although he expressed disdain every time Gu Shichu gave him a trophy, his body was honest and he carefully kept every trophy of Gu Shichu.
"What's mine is yours, why are you being so polite?" Gu Shichu said to him with a smile, "Xue Piao is the horse you gave me. Without a good horse, it would be useless even if I am a good rider."
"That's true." Ming Xun was immediately coaxed by her and said, "I'll keep all your trophies for you. When you have children, let them know how glorious you once were..."
"Oh, you're thinking so far ahead?" Gu Shichu couldn't help laughing, and leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
Although this guy is not a young talent who works hard to make progress in the secular sense, he is a happy person who can bring happiness to his family and friends. He has a bottom line. So what if he likes to eat, drink and have fun? As long as he doesn't hurt others, it's fine.
Gu Shiyao was unable to ask Gu Shichu whether she was reborn or not, because she felt guilty and timid.
She and Tang Buqing can now only barely maintain superficial harmony, but in private they are actually estranged and living different lives.
She had been tortured by Tang's mother for a long time, and Tang Buqing's official promotion was limited. It would take several decades for him to become the prime minister. Sometimes she felt that she might not be able to wait until that time, and would be driven to death by the trivialities of life and Tang's mother's torture.
She felt that this life was much more difficult than her previous life. At least in her previous life, when she was in the Ming family, she could enjoy a life of luxury for the first few decades and did not have to suffer from the bullying of her mother-in-law. But in this life, the Tang family was a poor family. Even though her dowry was generous, she could not enjoy it as she pleased. Tang's mother and Tang Buqing were used to being frugal, and they could not stand any extravagant behavior from her. Therefore, she could only live frugally, and she, who was used to enjoying life, felt miserable.
What made her even more frustrated was that as Tang Buqing's wife, she was often ridiculed and mocked when dealing with the wives of Tang Buqing's colleagues and superiors - all because of the scandal she had been involved in at the Marquis of Qi Yang's Mansion.
After she started socializing, she realized that the scandal was not something that she could just ignore and pretend it had never happened. Of course, if her status and position were high enough, others would pretend not to know even if they knew about it. But the bad thing was that she was now only Tang Buqing's wife, the wife of a sixth-rank official, and those who had any interactions with her were either Tang Buqing's colleagues or the wives of his superiors, who were of similar or higher status than her and could therefore look down on and ridicule her.
Gu Shiyao was a proud and arrogant person. Naturally, she could not tolerate being treated like this, so she had an argument with the person and refuted and cursed back without any politeness.
This time she offended the wives of Tang Buqing's colleagues or superiors. Pillow talk is sometimes very effective, not to mention that she offended a large number of people. As a result, Tang Buqing became sad in officialdom. Even if he was talented, his future would be hindered if he was disliked by his colleagues and superiors. Those who have been able to rise rapidly in officialdom must have both IQ and EQ. They must have ability and good popularity.
Tang Buqing himself had no problems, but Gu Shiyao held him back. She was more likely to cause trouble than accomplish anything. With such a wife, he gradually found it difficult to take a single step forward.
In his previous life, his wife was Gu Shichu. Gu Shichu was a virtuous wife who was good at managing the household and getting along well with others. She helped Tang Buqing a lot, allowing him to work in officialdom without any worries and making him rise to prominence.
