Chapter 310 Expanding Ambition
Zhou Qingdai's mother-in-law was actually a little panicked when she saw Gu Ruanci's serious expression.
"County Lady, after all, those things have nothing to do with Qing Dai."
"Don't say these things to me."
Gu Ruanci's attitude was very cold. She didn't curse on the spot, which was considered kind.
She also deliberately left a way out because she knew that Zhou Qingdai would come to fight for it again.
"Is it really appropriate for you to come here like this and leave your daughter-in-law alone?"
Zhuang Hefeng reminded her and at the same time he was driving her away.
Zhou Qingdai's mother-in-law was a smart person. She had already heard the hidden meaning and quickly got up and left before it was too embarrassing.
"They are really interesting. They are still trying to get closer. If they say Zhou Qingdai doesn't know about it, I don't believe it." Wu Yixuan said, expressing his lack of understanding.
Everyone knows Gu Ruanci's attitude towards the Zhou family. What are they thinking? Do they want to use Zhou Qingdai to get close to them?
"Everyone in the world is busy seeking profit. It's nothing strange. After all, the Zhou family is no longer as strong as it once was. Expecting help from them is no longer realistic. Zhou Qingdai herself knows that what happened back then was the work of her mother. If the two families start fighting, the Zhou family will probably hinder her husband's future. Acquiescing to her mother-in-law's actions at this time is also a way to provide herself with some protection."
Zhuang Hefeng felt that Gu Ruanci's analysis was very reasonable.
"Like mother, like daughter. This is a family tradition."
Wu Yixuan also said: "These people are really willing to do anything for profit."
Zhuang Hefeng frowned slightly when he heard this. He was more concerned about what Gu Ruanci would do next.
"Soft words, if Zhou Qingdai comes here by herself later, how do you want to deal with it?" Zhuang Hefeng asked.
Gu Ruanci smiled lightly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes. "I already know what happened back then. They thought I was unaware, so they wanted to use me. I simply admitted that I knew everything, and naturally she wouldn't dare to target me anymore."
Zhuang Hefeng was shocked when he heard this, because he knew Gu Ruanci's methods.
Telling Zhou Qingdai at this time is equivalent to telling Wen Zimei.
It seems that she is ready to go to war with Wen Zimei.
"Okay, mother supports you, and our entire Gu family supports you."
After they settled down, they sent someone to find Taoist Master Zixu to start burning incense and paying homage.
Unexpectedly, Taoist Zixu told them that Princess Duan and Prince Duan were also here.
"We came here at this time, it didn't bother you, did it?"
Princess Duan greeted Zhuang Hefeng very enthusiastically, which was completely different from her state when she was in the palace.
"Of course not. We haven't met in such a private setting for many years." Zhuang Hefeng was very emotional.
The legend about Gu Congyun and Mo Qianxiang brought them a great psychological burden.
Especially Mo Qianxiang, who has been misunderstood by Prince Duan for many years, which allowed Concubine Wen to take advantage of the opportunity.
Gu Congyun has always felt sorry for his benefactor, Master Mo, over the years. After all, it was because of him that the reputation of Mo Qianxiang was affected.
However, the Mo family never cared about these things, and Mo Qianxiang was a clear-headed person who knew who he should blame.
"Sister-in-law, I'm very happy that you can say that."
Princess Duan wanted to call Gu Congyun "big brother", so the call of "sister-in-law" also came from the heart.
Lu Enyan followed behind his mother, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Gu Ruanci was actually a little amusement.
"The prince is indeed in much better shape. He looks different..."
Wu Yixuan said something very appropriate. She could see that Lu Enyan's eyes were different.
It seems that someone is targeting their sister-in-law again, so they should be vigilant.
I should have brought Gu Yuting and Gu Yulou here today, so they can block the way in front.
Lu Enyan said naturally, "Thanks to the county lady's medical skills, otherwise I would have died long ago. I heard that the Duke's wife and the county lady were here today, so I came here specially. Mother said that she hasn't had a good talk with the Duke's wife in a few years, and today is a good opportunity. We have already agreed with the temple master that we will stay for a day like you guys..."
After hearing this, Princess Duan smiled, obviously satisfied with Lu Enyan's understanding.
She walked up to Zhuang Hefeng and said, "Sister-in-law, your daughter is truly amazing. Can we stay together today? I have a lot to say to you."
Zhuang Hefeng didn't refuse: "Of course, we haven't had a good conversation in many years. Now that the prince is gradually recovering, your worries have been resolved, and you can finally be your true self again."
The relationship between the two people is naturally good, and there has never been any misunderstanding over the years. It’s just that they are avoiding suspicion for some special reasons.
Princess Duan took Zhuang Hefeng's hand, and they smiled at each other, as if they had returned to their carefree youth.
Gu Ruanci looked at this scene and felt a warmth in her heart.
She understood that the relationship between her mother and Princess Duan was not just the courtesy between noble ladies, but also the understanding that had grown over the years.
Lu Enyan stood aside, watching the scene quietly, a hint of tenderness in his eyes. He was grateful to Gu Ruanci for saving his life, which allowed his mother to come out of years of depression.
This scene happened to be seen by Zhou Qingdai's mother-in-law.
Unexpectedly, Princess Duan and the Crown Prince would come today, and judging from Lu Enyan's condition, he is really well.
She immediately had other thoughts and returned to their room.
"Indigo..."
The sound she made as soon as she entered the room revealed that she had something else to say.
Zhou Qingdai was annoyed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
She turned around and forced a smile: "Mother, what's the matter?"
The mother-in-law looked at her with a scrutinizing look in her eyes: "Qingdai, I just went to say hello to the Duke's wife, and found that Princess Duan and the Prince are here too..."
Zhou Qingdai's heart moved slightly, knowing that she must have other ambitions.
"I didn't expect them to come here today, but it's not surprising. After all, it's a royal Taoist temple, so it's normal for people from the royal family to come here."
The mother-in-law looked at her, as if trying to read something from her face.
"Don't you think we have a chance?" the mother-in-law hinted.
Zhou Qingdai looked at her eyes and thought of her sudden excitement, and probably guessed something.
"Mother, are you thinking about my aunt's marriage?"
As expected, the mother-in-law's eyes widened, and she asked enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, don't you think the prince and your sister are a good match? If she can marry into the Prince Duan's mansion, she will be a great help to you and your wife in the future..."
Zhou Qingdai wanted to roll her eyes, but she finally held back.
"Mother, do you think that with our family background, my aunt is truly qualified to marry the Prince of Prince Duan's Mansion and become the grandson-in-law of Grand Tutor Mo?"
