Chapter 149 The Grand Tutor Pleads for the Princess
The Zhou family has suffered one blow after another recently, and Zhou Yuqi's non-cooperation has made Zhou Zhili extremely uncomfortable.
Ye Lanxin was caught in the middle and was also in a difficult situation.
There was really no other way, so she could only find an excuse to go back to her parents' home for a few days.
The Ye family has not been at peace recently. They had not yet recovered from the huge amount of money stolen by Gu Ruanci, and now the Zhou family has run into trouble again.
"No matter what you say or do about this matter, it's all your fault in the end. You might as well hide away and get some peace and quiet... You've been very attentive in educating them over the years, and you've done your best to repay the Zhou family."
Pan's words made Ye Keguan feel uncomfortable.
But he didn't refute it, he had already gotten used to it over the years.
Ye Cheng also said, "That's right, just stay at your parents' house and let them figure out what's going on over there. I don't believe they want you to apologize to Gu Ruanci in person. It's gotten to this point, what on earth is Yu Qi thinking?"
Ye Chi didn't say anything, but from his expression, it was clear that he was very disappointed with the two nephews of the Zhou family.
"You're already acting rebellious before you even get married. Who knows what will happen after you get married."
Shang Hongmian had a serious expression. Her life should have been the center of attention, but because of Gu Ruanci, it ended up happening in a different way.
When he was middle-aged, he had lost so many important people and brought shame to his father and mother as well.
Qin Kerou said something, and everyone understood the current situation of the Ye family.
The ties with the Zhou family are already too deep, unless the elder sister-in-law can leave.
Anyway, the three sons of the Zhou family are not hers. She has been helping others raise their sons for so many years. Now it seems that the return of the original wife's daughter will still shake the relationship between them.
Ye Ke looked at Ye Lanxin's expression, then glanced at Zhou Qinzhu who had been silent beside him, and finally could only sigh helplessly.
"The Zhou family is in trouble right now, so you should stay."
His words made Ye Lanxin feel relieved. After all, her father would not give up on her.
Since both women of the Zhou family were not at home, Zhou Zhili and his two sons had a particularly hard time.
Zhou Zhili originally wanted to go to the Ye family to ask his father-in-law to intervene, and then go to the Gu family again to plead with Gu Ruanci, but someone acted faster than him.
Since Master Lu came in person, the Gu family had to take it seriously.
Even though they were hastily preparing for Gu Yutang and Wu Yixuan's marriage, there was no way they could refuse Tutor Lu.
In recent years, Taifu Lu has not attended court, but he still has enough influence on the court. After all, he was once the emperor's teacher and his status is the same as that of Taifu Mo.
"Master Taifu hasn't shown up in a long time. It's really an honor for our Gu family to come to our house today."
Gu Congyun said politely that after returning to Dizhou, he had learned some ways of flattery.
Imperial Tutor Lu stroked his beard and said with a chuckle, "Your Excellency is truly too modest. If I were not so old, I would have greeted you according to etiquette. The Gu family is a family of loyal and brave men, guarding the country's borders. We old folks cannot compare to them. Your Excellency's words just now really humiliated me."
"Your Excellency, you are too kind. We are just warriors, and it is only because of the Emperor's appreciation that we have reached our current status over the years. Your Excellency is highly respected and well-educated, and naturally we cannot compare to him."
Gu Congyun knew that he came here for something, and it was most likely about the eldest princess, so he deliberately went around in circles.
As expected, Imperial Tutor Lu was the first to lose his temper. He said, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed of what you said. Even with all my knowledge, there are always things I cannot control. I still cannot remain silent about the affairs of my descendants."
The Gu family knew that he was about to get to the point.
"Master Taifu is right. Aren't we, the Gu family, also busy preparing for Yutang's marriage? After all, the other party is from the Prime Minister's family, so we must pay more attention to it, fearing that we might do something wrong or lose our manners."
Master Lu nodded, his smile already a little awkward.
"This time I came here to ask for a favor."
Gu Congyun thought that finally someone couldn't help it.
However, he did not laugh at it, nor did he expose it. Instead, he said, "Master Taifu, you are really embarrassing us. If you have any questions, just give us an order. Why would you ask for help from others?"
Seeing that they were unwilling to bring it up, Master Lu had no choice but to say it himself.
"As you all know, the Lu family married a princess. This is our Lu family's supreme honor. Moreover, this dynasty does not restrict the real power of the prince consort. This is also our Lu family's good fortune. However, the eldest princess has not been pregnant since she entered the mansion. It's not that we haven't asked the imperial physician to check before, but they are all men, so some things are not convenient for them to do."
He paused for a moment and found that the Gu family still had no intention of responding, especially Gu Yutang, who was more steady than his father.
He knew that the Gu family knew it very well, but just wanted him to say it out loud.
For the sake of his descendants, he no longer cared about face and could only continue, "If the eldest princess remains childless, it will be a major event for both the Lu family and the royal family. Her mother died young, and she has been raised by the Empress Dowager all these years. If she doesn't have a child of her own, I'm afraid the Empress Dowager will be equally distressed."
The Gu family listened to him involving as many people as possible in this matter and using this to put pressure on them, but they didn't care much.
After all, since the day Gu Ruanci revealed her identity, their Gu family has been mentally prepared for this and will never use family pressure or personal relationships to force her to save anyone.
The medical skills are hers, and it is her freedom to treat whoever she wants.
"Master Taifu is right. This matter is indeed a headache, but it is a problem that even the imperial physician cannot solve. It is really difficult to deal with. The matter of offspring is also based on fate. After all, the eldest princess is still young, so there is always a chance."
Gu Congyun’s words made Master Lu extremely angry.
I've already said that much, and he's pretending not to understand?
"I was thinking that since the Princess of Chaoyang County is a minor medical genius, and she could even cure Prince Duan's illness, which the imperial physician and various famous doctors had declared insurmountable, she must also have her own unique insights into the eldest princess's health..."
Finally, he couldn't help it.
"Well, I'm afraid we have no right to say anything. Besides, we've already said it softly that day in the palace. Her main expertise is treating the accumulated injuries of the Crown Prince, as well as recovering from external injuries. Gynecology is something she's not very confident in either. I'm afraid that will disappoint the Grand Tutor..."
Gu Congyun never hesitated to defend Gu Ruanci.
Imperial Tutor Lu clearly didn't believe it. "I know there were some misunderstandings between the Grand Princess and Princess Chaoyang. Those can be resolved. However, Princess Chaoyang is kindhearted. She just returned to Imperial Province and has such connections with the Zhou family. I'm sure she'd want more help... I might as well reveal one thing: Marquis Zhou has already contacted me..."
