Chapter 147 Rejecting the Princess Again
No matter how much Lu Shuyi regretted it, it was useless.
She could only stand up unwillingly, and then glanced in the direction of the Gu family.
As a result, she found that neither the elders of the Gu family nor the sons looked at her at all, and they were too lazy to even give her a glance.
She felt even more broken-down in her heart, and when she thought about what she had done before, she felt unwilling to accept it.
She thought of Lu Wenxue. All these things were caused by her instigation.
The palace banquet didn't last too long, even though the annoying people had left.
In the end, Ye Keguan was unable to get close to Gu Ruanci and say anything, so he could only go back with the Ye family.
He was very silent throughout the journey.
The same goes for Mrs. Pan. She really didn't expect that Gu Ruanci has now become someone that their Ye family can't get close to.
Ye Cheng and Ye Chi didn't speak along the way. The more dazzling Gu Ruanci became, the worse it was for the Ye family.
The Gu family stayed until the end, and the emperor gave them special commendations.
At the request of the Empress Dowager, Prince Duan went to Gu Ruanci and expressed his gratitude to her.
"Although there were some misunderstandings between you and my daughter before, since you saved my son, all that has happened is forgiven."
He still looked reluctant, probably because he had never thought that one day he would have to bow to the children of his subjects.
Gu Ruanci did not take advantage of the situation, but said: "Thank you very much, Your Highness..."
"You're welcome. Please be more attentive to my son."
After Prince Duan finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
He himself realized that this statement could easily be misunderstood.
He added, "Treat him well."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. Since I said I can cure him, I will naturally do my best and will definitely cure him."
Upon hearing that she had indeed cured Lu Enyan, Prince Duan's first thought was not happiness, but rather embarrassment.
He remembered the promise he had made to Concubine Wen, and his heart was in turmoil.
The eldest princess, who had been refusing to leave the palace, finally found an opportunity and stepped forward to say to Gu Ruanci, "We had some misunderstandings before, and I hope you don't take it to heart."
"You are too kind, Princess. I have forgotten what happened."
Lu Shuyi felt that she had hope, so she asked, "I wonder what Little Medical Fairy is best at?"
Gu Ruanci said directly, "For someone like the Crown Prince, who was born with a poison and later suffered injuries, the accumulation of medicine over the years is what this servant and Master have mainly learned. In addition, I am good at caring for the elderly and recovering the injured. Other things still need to be learned. After all, I only have ten years. In addition to medical skills, I also have to learn the art of playing the zither. This servant really has limited energy."
In the end, Gu Ruanci still didn't give Lu Shuyi the answer she wanted.
Lu Shuyi stared into Gu Runci's eyes, wondering if she was lying on purpose because she didn't want to help her cure her illness.
But there was no flaw in Gu Ruanci's words, and her face was full of sincerity.
"So that's how it is..."
Lu Shuyi had no choice but to say this.
Lu Hanyue already understood what she wanted to do, but did not say anything to help.
In this matter, it was the imperial sister's fault from the very beginning.
Seeing Lu Shuyi's slightly disappointed look, Gu Runci did not feel any pleasure in revenge. After all, she was not qualified from the beginning.
The more Princess Duan looked at Gu Ruanci, the more she liked her, and she really wanted to make Gu Ruanci her daughter-in-law.
However, she could also see that Gu Runci was an extremely independent woman who would not depend on anyone, so she suppressed this idea.
Her own marriage has been buried in the Prince Duan's Mansion, and she does not want to use the power of the Prince Duan's Mansion to break the wings of a woman who could have a bright future.
Lu Enyou's gaze was always following Gu Ruanci. Not only the Queen Mother noticed it, but even the Emperor saw it.
He hesitated, thinking of various possibilities.
But in the end, nothing was said. After all, it would be inappropriate to interfere too much in the affairs of the next generation.
The Gu family had another meal in the palace in the evening before leaving, which was considered a great honor.
After all, Gu Yutang was there, and when he came back to report on his work this time, he really gave the court a satisfactory answer with his excellent results.
As a result, as soon as they got home, the doorman came up to them and told them that the Zhou family had just left.
"How many people are coming? Who are they? What are they here for?" Zhuang Hefeng asked directly.
"Three people, Zhou Zhili, brought Zhou Yuxiu and Zhou Qinzhu, saying they wanted to see the county lady, probably to ask her to help the third son of the Zhou family treat his hand."
The doorman's words made the Gu family laugh.
What on earth are these people from the Zhou family thinking?
That night, news came that Zhou Yuzhi seemed to have become possessed after returning home.
Such a medical genius was actually talking in his sleep, saying that his grandmother blamed him and that he saw his grandmother.
Gu Ruanci didn't take it to heart. Even if all the Zhou family members died, she wouldn't frown.
That night, Zhang Songming went to Zhou's house and spent another night there.
On the second day, news of the Zhou family spread like wildfire. Not only did the third son become depressed and refuse any treatment, but the second son also fell ill. Overnight, these two proud sons of the Zhou family seemed to have given up on themselves.
Zhou Zhili came to the Gu family again, this time bringing only Zhou Yuxiu.
"Could you please help pass on the message so that I can meet the Chaoyang County Master?"
Zhou Zhili's attitude towards the doorman softened, and he was completely different from before.
After all, the future and prospects of the two sons depend on Gu Ruanci to save them.
The doorman did not make a decision on his own, but directly sent someone to inform.
"Don't pay attention to him. It's obvious what he wants to do." Zhuang Hefeng said with a disdainful tone.
Gu Yutang said, "Mother, my younger sister must have her own considerations on this matter. Let her decide for herself."
"That's right, we have all seen my little sister's abilities. The Zhou family is now in need of her, so it's too easy for my little sister to control them."
Gu Yuting also supported letting Gu Ruanci face it himself.
Gu Ruanci stood up and said, "Then I'll go and take a look. Otherwise, if they keep making such a commotion in front of the Gu family's gate, it will have a bad influence."
Zhuang Hefeng didn't stop him, but just warned him, "You can go out, but you must not agree to his request. The Zhou family is not worth saving."
"Don't worry, mother."
After Zhuang Hefeng finished speaking, she actually felt a little regretful. She knew that she had acted on impulse.
"Just now, when I was on the gas, I remembered the injustice your mother had suffered, and I felt suffocated. But after all, they are your mother's children. If your mother were still alive, she might still be soft-hearted. So, just pretend that I didn't say anything just now. Do whatever you want. Even if you decide to save them in the end, I will support you."
