Chapter 374 Yuan Niang's Cry
After Li Yuan and Gu Heng's daughter Qiqi was betrothed to the Zhao family as Zhao Jiayi'er, it was considered that Li Yuan had fulfilled one of his wishes.
After the decision was made, Li Yuan went to find Yun Qiao on purpose.
Told her about this.
The main reason was that the Zhao family had wanted to marry Nian Nian before, but Chen Jingyan disagreed, so they decided to marry Qiqi.
Li Yuan was worried that Yun Qiao would think that their family had other intentions.
When Li Yuan came over, Yun Qiao understood what she was thinking.
Li Yuan let her daughter Qiqi take the surname Chen because she wanted to give her a good future. Now it happened, she could be said to have fulfilled her selfish wish.
"Yuanniang, do we still need to be so polite to each other?"
"Whether it's Nian Nian or Qi Qi, they are both children of our Chen family. Gu Heng will always be the Second Master of the Marquisate. In fact, back when the old lady was still alive, she mentioned that she wanted Gu Heng to change his surname to Chen. It was the Second Master who cared about the Gu family and didn't want the Gu family bloodline to be cut off, so he insisted on using his name."
Li Yuan held the handkerchief tightly, hesitating for a long time. In fact, she didn't know whether she should say it or not...
In fact, she and Gu Heng had conflicts before. Later, when Jiangcheng was hit by a flood, Gu Heng spared no effort to help their Li family. For this, Li Yuan has always been grateful in her heart.
However, Gu Heng was too caring towards his relatives.
Li Yuan always felt uncomfortable.
"Yuanniang, you can tell me anything. Besides being sisters-in-law, we are also friends. Have you forgotten?"
Li Yuan might be wary of her princess status, or of Chen Jingyan's status as the Marquis' wife, but in Yun Qiao's eyes, her relationship with Li Yuan remained the same as before.
Very pure.
The kind where you can say whatever you want directly.
"Mother Qiao, I...I won't hide it from you anymore. I suspect Gu Heng has a mistress. Some time ago, I noticed that Gu Heng often came home very late. I was worried at first, so I asked the maid to pay more attention to him. Then I found something strange: Gu Heng went to the same place three times in this month."
"I asked someone to check out that place. There was a woman living there. She had two children, two girls, who were about two years younger than Chen Yang."
Li Yuan looked very painful when he said this.
Yun Qiao asked her, "Have you discussed this with Gu Heng?"
Yun Qiao no longer called Li Yuan "Second Brother" in front of him, but called him by his name directly. If it was true that Gu Heng was keeping a mistress outside, Yun Qiao would have dared to step forward and slap him twice without waiting for Li Yuan to take action. This was of course to protect her best friend.
Li Yuan shook his head, "I haven't asked."
"He was nice to me, and I was afraid that after I asked, our relationship wouldn't be able to return to its current state. However, I wasn't feeling very comfortable. Now that Qiqi can marry into the Zhao family, I'm relieved."
After this marriage was arranged, even if she left Gu Heng in the future, Qiqi's marriage to the Zhao family would still exist.
Yun Qiao grabbed Li Yuan's hand and said soothingly, "When you have time, go and ask about this matter. It might not be what you think. If he really is keeping a mistress outside, you won't be happy. Just deal with that person directly."
"Just a concubine."
In modern times, she is a mistress who is hated by everyone.
In modern times, beating to death is not allowed, but in ancient times, if someone was beaten to death, who would care as long as the person’s family did not pursue the matter?
There is a lot that can be done in the gray area.
