Chapter 34 Being Beaten
Gu Jingchun chuckled and looked straight into Gu Nansheng's eyes.
"Father, what you said is very strange!"
"Why? If she were to marry the Third Prince, that would be a den of tigers and wolves. I'm marrying the Third Prince for my own good. Does that mean the daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an deserves to be treated as an inferior?"
"You keep saying that I can't tolerate her, so let me ask you, can your Yong'an Marquis Mansion tolerate me?"
Gu Nansheng looked into Gu Jingchun's eyes.
Those eyes were so calm and clear that he felt guilty. He subconsciously took a step back and let her go.
"Don't try to make excuses. It was clearly you who designed the Yunjin brocade in the first place, and it made the Third Prince take a fancy to it. And now you're still trying to argue!"
"Yeah?"
Gu Jingchun smiled and asked, "Did your mother tell you that?"
Gu Jingchun said this and looked at Chu Qianlan.
Chu Qianlan subconsciously lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Gu Jingchun.
The scene of being strangled by Gu Jingchun in the palace was her nightmare.
She still felt a lingering fear when she thought about it now, which also made her feel a little afraid of Gu Jingchun from the bottom of her heart.
Gu Yunjin was standing behind Gu Nansheng. After Gu Jingchun looked over, she timidly hid behind Gu Nansheng, looking aggrieved and scared.
Seeing this, Gu Nansheng immediately moved Gu Yunjin behind him and looked at Gu Jingchun with a vigilant look.
At this time, Gu Weiang shouted again!
"Evil girl!"
"Get down on your knees!"
"Don't try to quibble. I went to great lengths to bring you back, but you actually did something like this, and even pushed my Yong'an Marquisate into the spotlight. What crime should you take?"
Gu Jingchun stood up straight and sneered.
"Father, what you said is very strange. It was clearly Mother who set me up first and left the Yong'an Marquisate behind. I only escaped because I fell asleep. How can it be my fault now?"
"Instead of questioning his daughter, the father should have asked the mother how she got the puppy pendant."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qianlan looked flustered.
Gu Wei'ang's gaze also fell on her.
Chu Qianlan quickly denied it.
"You... are talking nonsense. How would I know anything about puppy pendants?"
Gu Jingchun chuckled.
"The Queen Mother has been in charge of the harem for many years. What could possibly be hidden from her eyes? Mother, don't you think that the Queen Mother didn't notice your puppy pendant?"
After saying this, Chu Qianlan was completely panicked.
She stood up and pointed at Gu Jingchun and started cursing.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you uneducated girl? Don't think you can escape punishment by making such random remarks."
"I think I should return this to Mother. Mother, don't you think that if you put all the blame on me, Father won't scold you?"
Gu Jingchun chuckled as he spoke.
"But mother, have you ever thought about this? What you did today may seem like a small thing, but in the eyes of His Majesty and the Queen Mother, it is a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"If I'm not mistaken, Your Majesty has long been wary of the Yong'an Marquisate, otherwise this marriage wouldn't have happened."
Gu Jingchun spoke eloquently, and just two sentences hit the nail on the head for Marquis Yong'an.
After hearing this, Gu Weiang's expression calmed down a bit.
He looked at his daughter in front of him and began to look at her seriously for the first time.
Gu Jingchun naturally noticed his gaze and continued:
"It's just marrying a foolish prince. With the status of the Yong'an Marquisate, it won't be a big deal even if my sister marries him.
But my mother happened to do such a clever thing.
At today's birthday banquet, if the Third Prince really takes a liking to my daughter, it would be fine, and I would certainly not have any complaints.
But unfortunately, Mother insisted on getting a puppy pendant related to the Third Prince, causing him to lose control!"
"Father, don't you know that in the eyes of the Emperor and the Queen Mother, this is an act of insubordination and an attempt to control the royal family?"
As soon as these words came out, Gu Weiang stood up.
But Gu Jingchun continued, "Father, have you ever thought about why the Queen Mother and the Emperor have discovered this but haven't punished us yet?"
"Is it because of the great favor bestowed upon us by the Emperor of Yong'an?"
Chu Qianlan murmured.
"Isn't it?"
Gu Jingchun looked at her as if she were a fool and sneered.
"That's because His Majesty has already made murderous intentions towards the Yong'an Marquisate!"
The emperor did have murderous intentions towards the Yong'an Marquisate.
In the previous life, after Gu Jingchun’s death, the Yong’an Marquis Mansion was quickly destroyed, and no one in the entire mansion was spared.
When Gu Wei'ang heard this, he could no longer hold back and shouted loudly.
"absurd!"
"Shut up!"
Gu Jingchun sneered.
"It seems that Father has been in this high position for too long and can't even see clearly."
"Father, haven't you ever thought about why the emperor suddenly granted me and the Luo family a marriage today?"
Gu Weiang remained silent and said nothing.
Chu Qianlan snorted coldly.
"Everyone in Tiandu knows that the son of the Luo family is a homosexual. This incident has caused a huge uproar in the city, and all the noble ladies in Tiandu are avoiding the Luo family."
"The emperor granted you and him a marriage, clearly deliberately suppressing our Yong'an Marquisate, adding insult to injury, and deliberately disrespecting us."
Gu Jingchun sneered.
"Mother, have you ever thought about what would happen if I really did as you wished, was chosen by the Third Prince, and then married to him?"
"What will happen?"
Chu Qianlan didn't care.
"It's just a different person, but you are still the real daughter of the Marquis of Yong'an. Logically, this marriage should have been yours. How could His Majesty be unhappy?"
"certainly!"
Gu Jingchun said:
"This is the face and authority of the royal family!"
"Mother, do you think the royal family's reputation and authority can be challenged casually?"
"Can the Yong'an Marquisate bear the responsibility for the crime of deceiving the emperor?"
After saying this, Gu Weiang finally understood everything.
He glared at Chu Qianlan angrily and slapped her.
"You are a jeopardizer who is more likely to cause trouble than to help. Can you please use your brain before doing anything?"
After all, he had been in a high position for too long, and his power and status gradually blinded his eyes, and he almost caused a disaster.
Although the Queen Mother and the Emperor have discovered their actions, they have not committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, and there is still room for improvement.
Furthermore, the marriage between Gu Jingchun and the Luo family is now a boost to the Yong'an Marquisate.
When Gu Weiang thought of this, he couldn't help but look at Gu Jingchun carefully again.
Chu Qianlan was stunned by Gu Weiang's slap.
She fell to the ground, holding her face.
Seeing this, Gu Nansheng and Gu Yunjin screamed and helped the man up.
Chu Qianlan let go of his hand, and a trace of blood immediately flowed from the corner of his mouth.
She looked at Gu Weiang in disbelief.
"You actually hit me?"
"You actually hit me because of a few words she said?"
