Chapter 193 The Princess is So Disgusting
Her words reminded Gu Ruanci that as long as these people existed, they would always leave traces.
During this period, she did not cause trouble for the Zhou and Ye families, simply because she did not want to be too obvious and make things difficult for the emperor and others.
"I heard the palace is looking for a suitable marriage partner for the eldest princess. Word of her difficulty conceiving has already spread. Furthermore, she previously allowed herself to bite someone and refused to apologize. Those with real influence won't accept such a bride, and the eldest princess from a humble family won't be interested either."
Wu Yixuan only found out about this after he returned and heard Old Madam Xiao talking about it.
After what happened before, Gu Ruanci had already decided not to help the eldest princess.
If someone like her really had a child, I'm afraid it would only bring harm to others in the future.
If you can't behave yourself, how can you raise a child?
"That's their business. We just need to live our own lives..." She didn't realize why Wu Yixuan told her this.
After all, Wu Yixuan is not someone who likes to gossip about others behind their backs.
Gu Ruanci paused, looked at Wu Yixuan's meaningful eyes, and then she understood.
"No way? She still wants to harm our brother? Is she targeting the second or third brother this time?"
Wu Yixuan also said sarcastically, "Neither the second or third brother should have become her stepping stone... After all her previous desperate attempts to marry your eldest brother failed, she shouldn't have set her sights on the Gu family. Won't it be awkward when we meet in the future? But I know what she's thinking. Marrying into the Gu family is to disgust your eldest brother and me. And after becoming your sister-in-law, you can't just watch your brother be childless. You'll definitely find a way to help her heal her illness."
Gu Ruanci completely agreed with Wu Yixuan's analysis.
"This abacus is so calculating that even a deaf person can understand it..."
Her description made Wu Yixuan smile.
"Let the second and third brothers stay out for the next two days. They have grown up and need to learn to protect themselves."
Hearing Gu Ruanci's words, Wu Yixuan couldn't help laughing even more.
"Since this news has reached Old Madam Xiao, many people must have known about it. What is the attitude of the palace?" Gu Ruanci asked again.
Wu Yixuan thought for a moment and said, "The Empress has long been disappointed with the eldest princess. She raised her own son together with the prince, and now he has become like this. It is said that the Empress has complained that the eldest princess is just like her late mother, both of them are always fighting and grabbing, and they don't care what means..."
"What about the emperor?" Gu Ruanci asked.
After all, the emperor has only two daughters, and Lu Hanyue is not yet old enough to discuss marriage.
"I don't know. Anyway, I didn't refute it immediately."
Gu Ruanci nodded: "They should not even think about this marriage. Lu Shuyi should not even think about marrying into our Gu family. If the emperor also wants to smooth things over, I will have to think of other ways to make the eldest princess get into trouble."
Wu Yixuan looked at Gu Ruanci's serious expression and knew that she could really do it, so he quickly said, "Now is not the time to make such plans. The emperor knows the grudge between the eldest princess and you, so he probably won't do that. After all, his relationship with my father is very real."
Gu Ruanci nodded, but there was no way she could be completely relieved.
"We, the Gu family, only have a few children like these. Now, that loser from Prince Duan's mansion is after them, and that hypocritical Third Prince in the palace is after them. And this shameless Princess has even snatched them away. If these people didn't come from good families, they would have been beaten to death long ago."
Wu Yixuan listened to Gu Ruanci's blunt words and smiled and shook his head.
"If I had known that telling you would make you so angry, I should have pretended not to know."
Gu Ruanci immediately said, "How can that be? Who knows what disgusting things these people can do? This time, it's lucky that my sister-in-law reminded us, otherwise we would still be kept in the dark. Logically speaking, my father and mother should also know about this, right?"
Wu Yixuan thought for a moment and said, "Didn't father enter the palace? He must have declined, otherwise there wouldn't have been any movement. On the contrary, mother probably really doesn't know."
"Father hid it from Mother, probably because he knew she would definitely disagree and say something unpleasant... After she refused in front of the Emperor, we'll just pretend the matter never happened."
Although Gu Ruanci said this, he was still a little worried in his heart.
Why is this Lu Shuyi like a dog-skin plaster that can’t be shaken off?
"Now Lu Wenxue's house arrest has been lifted, and her house arrest has also been lifted. Although the emperor still does not allow her to hold banquets, her movement around is not affected." Wu Yixuan said.
Gu Ruanci wasn't surprised. Instead, she said, "Such a big incident happened at her banquet before. Even if she were to hold a banquet, who would dare to go? The emperor is just using another way to protect her reputation. She and Lu Wenxue have always been good friends, and now they can move around freely. Lu Wenxue has already gone to the Zhou family. Isn't it time for the eldest princess to go out and have a look?"
Wu Yixuan was not too interested in this, so he said, "That's her business, it has nothing to do with us. As long as she is not forced to marry into our Gu family, we don't need to care."
As they were talking, Wu Yixuan's maid came in.
"Young Madam, County Lady, the eldest princess sent someone to deliver something..."
"Huh?" Wu Yixuan was stunned. It turned out that bad things should not be mentioned.
"What did you give? What did you say?" Wu Yixuan asked.
"I heard that the eldest princess was struck by the second young master's paintings and gave him some handkerchiefs she had embroidered while she was bored during her confinement..."
Before the maid finished speaking, Gu Ruanci's expression had changed.
This Lu Shuyi is really shameless.
Second brother's paintings are rarely circulated outside, so they are extremely precious. No matter how she got them, it was never second brother's intention.
She sent a handkerchief embroidered by herself, and the meaning of this was obvious.
As long as the Gu family accepts these things, it means they have tacitly agreed to the marriage. Even if they don't accept it, the eldest princess will be overwhelmed by rumors.
She was gambling that the royal family would not let her reputation rot.
Wu Yixuan rarely got angry: "How shameless! Is she trying to threaten our Gu family?"
Nong Chun and Zang Xia were also angry. Why was this eldest princess always so self-righteous? Relying on her status as the eldest princess, everything she did was disgusting.
"This eldest princess, isn't it obvious that she wants to force herself to marry the second young master?" Nong Chun couldn't help but said.
Gu Ruanci sneered: "Such a low-level method, she really thinks we can't do anything to her... Don't you like forced marriage? Then I will help her choose a husband."
