Prime Minister Gu was stunned for a moment. He seemed to have never thought that Gu Qiang could deny him face like this. He immediately became even more unhappy. His knuckles holding the tea cup turned white. He gritted his teeth and took two heavy breaths and said, "You are now Are you teaching me a lesson? You are really becoming more and more unruly, it seems like I should teach you a lesson, right?"
Prime Minister Gu wanted to say something more, but Gu Qiang didn't give him a chance at all, and turned around to leave. When she arrived, Mrs. Ye glanced at Prime Minister Gu reproachfully, then stepped forward to grab Gu Qiang's hand and held her affectionately. Pull back.
Her hands were cold and she didn't feel like a mother at all. Gu Qiang didn't expect much. She just felt that such an intimate gesture should be done by her mother, not by someone who wanted to kill her. right.
So Gu Qiang shook her hand away fiercely, turned around, and asked in a cold and biting voice: "What do you want to do when you come back? If there is nothing, don't interfere with me."
Now that the capital is in chaos, she has too many things to do, but she has no time to come back and listen to Prime Minister Gu waste time here.
Prime Minister Gu was so angry that he wanted to accuse Gu Qiang, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Ye burst into tears immediately and said to Gu Qiang with tears in her eyes: "Qian'er, do you know that your sister has been infected with the traitor in the capital this time?" I've had a fever for a day. Look, your brother Huai'an is a doctor. Can you bring him over and show him to Zhi Hua?"
When Ye said this, she immediately thought of the night before, when Gu Zhihua and Qing Luo wanted to return to the third prince's house. After all, it was not the same for a married girl to always stay with her parents' family.
But who would have thought that just for a short walk on the official road, he would contract a disease and have a severe fever, which kept Ye from sleeping all day and night.
After hearing this, Gu Qiang smiled. It turned out that Ye was so anxious because of this matter.
Prime Minister Gu still hasn't recovered from Gu Qiang's rebellious virtues. Although he clearly wants Gu Qiang's help, he still maintains a sullen face to protect his last shred of dignity.
"It's time to let that unfilial son come back. I raised him so much, can't I come back and save Zhi Hua in return?" Prime Minister Gu said.
Gu Qiang still smiled and said: "It's better for my father to talk to my brother about this matter. I think my brother should be able to give the Prime Minister some face, but who insisted on letting my brother leave this family in the first place? I think my father did the same. A prime minister can't always put the focus of his life on the court. If his family members get sick, he won't even have anyone to help him, and he has the audacity to beg for a child that he doesn't want?"
After Gu Qiang finished saying this, no one said anything. This was the first time Gu Qiang said such words to Prime Minister Gu, and it was a slap in his face.
Sure enough, Prime Minister Gu suddenly slammed the table and said loudly: "What did you say? I think you are getting more and more unruly. If you are so tough, why not I remove you from the Gu family? Do you believe it?"
I thought my words like this could scare Gu Qiang, but her expression didn't change at all, so she said, "Yes, it's okay. If Prime Minister Gu can promise that you won't beg me like you begged your brother, I fully accept being expelled from the Gu family. Of course, there is another point. I am indeed the eldest daughter of the Gu family. This status has brought me a lot of honors. However, I am still Princess Luoping. This status can bring me more benefits than the eldest daughter of the Gu family. More things are coming.”
She has never spoken to her father like this. She doesn't know many things, but she already knows about her relationship with these relatives through the booklet given by Shen Qianshan. Since sooner or later, they will fall out, then she has the right to Consider it a good day.
Prime Minister Gu's face was livid with anger. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
The girl Gu Qiang has grown up, but he still treats her as a child. If she is just an ordinary young lady, how can she become the princess through her own efforts
Gu Qiang looked straight at Prime Minister Gu, as if waiting for him to let go and remove her, but she didn't want him to bite her lips, but still didn't say anything.
"Prime Minister Gu, are you not removing me now because I am the princess and am useful to you?" After Gu Qiang finished speaking, she glanced at the two of them coldly, then turned around and prepared to go back.
Ye couldn't care about anything else and still rushed to Gu Qiang, grabbed Gu Qiang with her hands and said with tears in her eyes: "Qian'er, you can't leave. If you leave, what will we do to Zhi Hua? She It’s your sister.”
At this point, Gu Qiang saw the tears on this woman's face, as well as her eyes, which had not slept well, and her sunken eye sockets. She was as thin as a skeleton.
But so what? Anyway, Mrs. Ye is not her Gu Qiang's mother. Even if Mrs. Ye dies, she will not feel the least bit sad in her heart.
"You can figure it out on your own. Unless one day I feel that I need your help, I will shamelessly come to you to ask for help. Until then, we don't owe each other anything." After Gu Qiang finished speaking, she returned to her room. courtyard.
Since Prime Minister Gu had not removed her, she was still a member of the Gu family and she felt there was no need to move out.
Tingfeng was drying tea leaves in the yard. When he saw Gu Qiang coming back, he did not come up to her like before, but looked at her with an indescribable expression.
Gu Qiang immediately understood what this meant. Usually someone must have come to the yard for her to react like this.
Qingshuiyuan, which used to be the most desolate place in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, has now become a lively place. Everyone wants to come here, and they don't know why.
When they arrived at the inner hall, they saw a young man wearing a light blue robe, sitting quietly at the table drinking tea.
His movements were quite orderly, not as presumptuous as Bai Su's, but he was a well-behaved person.
But this was a man Gu Qiang had never known before.
"Who are you?" Gu Qiang took two steps and then sat in front of the man.
The man was handsome and handsome, with the tenderness and jade unique to the Jiangnan water town.
When the man saw Gu Qiang sitting down, he put down the tea cup, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and asked with a hint of respect: "But Qian'er?"
Not everyone can be called Qian'er. Generally, people who are called like this are either people who are close to Gu Qiang, or people who insist on getting close to Gu Qiang. This man obviously belongs to the latter.
Gu Qiang nodded without saying anything.
The man chuckled and said, "I am your mother's cousin. I come from the south of the Yangtze River. I came here specifically to see you. To put it bluntly, it was your mother who introduced me here. I'm rude and disrespectful."
Every time the man spoke, there was a smile on his lips. She had never seen such a man who would not offend anyone no matter what he did.
But she was no longer a little girl who had never seen the world. She said coldly: "My mother died more than ten years ago. How could she introduce a man?"
In fact, Gu Qiang already understood what was going on at this time. Last time in front of her, Mr. Ye mentioned that she wanted to introduce the man from her mother's family in Jiangnan, but she didn't want to come so quickly.
Are you so anxious to marry her off? But when did it become Ye's turn to make the decision
The man was obviously choked by Gu Qiang's words and had nothing to say. He smiled awkwardly and continued: "I'm talking about my aunt, that is, Ye Shi. After all, she should be your mother, right?"
Gu Qiang raised his eyes impatiently and said: "I don't blame you because you come from Jiangnan and don't understand the rules, but Ye is only my father's second wife, and my mother is the wife of the Gu family. It was only because of her early death that Ye passed away. She made the decision, do you really think she is my mother?"
Are you kidding me? When did her majestic princess use Ye as her mother
Sure enough, the big tree attracted the wind. When she was in the Qingshui Garden in the backyard of the Gu family, no one paid attention to Gu Qiang, the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. Now that she has risen rapidly, all these people have come over.
The man didn't seem to have thought that Gu Qiang would be so repulsive to Ye. Ye had also said well before that she would prepare for his marriage to Gu Qiang. He thought it was a done deal, but he didn't expect it to be wishful thinking on his part
So the man got up and said: "I don't know what happened between you and my aunt. Since you don't like me talking to you about these things, then I will go back first. If you are bored in the future, you can come to me, my yard Right next door to you.”
After saying that, he got up and left. He moved very quickly and disappeared through the door with his entourage.
Gu Qiang looked at the man's back coldly, and the depression in her heart was about to explode. At this critical moment, Gu Zhihua was about to die, and Mrs. Ye still had the thought to arrange a marriage for herself. Damn, there were so many people. The Lord of Nosy.
After the man left, Tingfeng wiped the cup and said, "Girl, this young man looks very different. He has long eyes and rich family. Do you really not think about it?"
Gu Qiang turned her head and looked at Tingfeng strangely. She seemed a little impatient and asked, "How about you go and give it a try?"
Tingfeng knew he had made a mistake, so he said nothing more.
In the evening, Gusu Liang came back.
Tingfeng and Gusu Liang hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the two were particularly close. After talking for a long time in the outer room, Gusu Liang came into the room and sat next to Gu Qiang.
"Girl, the man who sent it to Tong'an Pharmacy is very obedient. He has been slowly cooperating and telling Mr. Gu the prescription. The disease in the capital will not spread this time and will be cured soon. Mr. Gu asked you not to worry about him. It will be handled well.”
Gu Su Liang sent the man from the Su family to Gu Huaian and settled down before returning. She had a faint smell of wind and earth. Gu Qiang knew that this journey would not be as Gu Su Liang said. It's simple, and she certainly won't explain the process in detail, but at least the result is good.
This girl never reported good news but not bad news, and Gu Qiang was used to it.
"In addition, the name of the man who came here this afternoon is Ye Mu. He is the legitimate son of Ye's brother's family. His family is extremely wealthy. It is said that he is a good person." Gu Su Liang continued.
