Gu Yong nodded to the second madam. He didn't have a deep impression of this younger brother and sister, and he didn't have much contact with her in the past. She was also a victim of the incident that happened with the second room, so compared to his unsatisfactory brother, he was more interested in the second madam. Still have some patience.
"Uncle."
When he turned around to see his second daughter and heard her calling him uncle, Gu Yong felt somewhat uncomfortable. Seeing the undisguised admiration in his daughter's eyes, he couldn't help but think of what Gu Tong said before, that among these children, only his second daughter was the most like him.
After all, Shao's identity was a bit embarrassing, so she simply excused herself to go to the kitchen to watch the soup and went out first, without Gu Yong stopping her.
"Brothers and sisters, what do you want from me?" Since the incident with Aunt Zhang last time, the second lady rarely came to Old Madam Gu's yard. Of course, it was a coincidence that Gu Yong met her today.
The second lady twitched her lips and said, "It's not a big deal. I just want to discuss Mingyue's marriage with my uncle. This girl is not young at all. She should have been in love with her in ordinary people's homes."
Gu Yong frowned and did not answer.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the second lady continued: "Originally, it was my sister-in-law who made the decision about Mingyue's marriage, but she was unwell. It just so happened that my mother liked this girl's cleverness. I thought that if the uncle didn't arrange it, I might as well take this girl to Uncle Zhongyong. Stay for a while.”
The second lady's words were cryptic, but everyone understood the meaning. They said they were going to stay for a while, but in fact Mrs. Zhongyongbo deliberately showed Gu Ming the moon phase.
Gu Yong is now a third-rank official, and he has status, but his background is much worse than that of Xungui. Mrs. Zhongyongbo's status is not that high, but her connections are unparalleled by others. If the other party takes the initiative to speak, she has already given her a lot of face. Gu Yong was indeed moved by the second lady's proposal, but it was difficult for the third prince to explain it. It was not that he had never thought of replacing the second daughter with the third daughter. It was just that Ming Yue was quick-thinking, but Ming Xin really couldn't make a move. Originally, changing the person once would have already offended the third prince. If someone else was stupid, the Gu family would probably offend the third prince severely.
He knew that the third prince was not favored by the emperor at the moment, but he was still a prince after all. Gu Yong was not willing to offend him until the dust settled.
"Let me do this first
Think about it. "
"Okay, please give me a reply as soon as possible so that I can tell my mother."
"Yes." Gu Yong nodded, his original plan wavering.
"Speaking of which, the third girl is quite old, right?" the second lady asked casually.
"Third sister is one year younger than me, and her birthday will be in two months." Gu Mingyue said with a smile.
"You remember clearly." The second lady rolled her eyes at her as if she was angry.
Gu Mingyue quickly hugged the second wife's arm and said coquettishly: "I also remember the birthdays of mother and uncle."
"You are the only one who is smart."
Seeing the deep love between mother and daughter, Gu Yong was a little lost.
Seeing Gu Yong's look, the mother and daughter looked at each other, and then the second lady spoke again, "Originally, I, as a younger brother and sister, shouldn't say this, but after all, the uncle's status is different now, and there should be someone in the house. Now that I can make the decision, I wonder if my uncle has someone he likes?"
Gu Yong understood what the second lady meant, and kept a calm expression on his face, but in his heart he was not very happy that she was taking over her duties.
"Uncle, maybe he thinks I'm a troublemaker. Originally, it had nothing to do with me. It's just that the uncle's identity is here, and I don't know how many people are watching the house. Now, even people like my mother who don't do anything all the time have heard about my sister-in-law's body. I was specifically asked about the news about my discomfort when I went back a few days ago.”
Gu Yong glanced at the second lady, his eyes a little cold, and the second lady closed her mouth in embarrassment.
When Gu Mingyue saw this, she hated Xue even more. She didn't know what kind of ecstasy drug she had given her father, but she had already reached this point, and her father still couldn't let her go.
The second lady didn't answer the question, but she had to explain what she said. She could only bite the bullet and said: "Uncle, don't be angry with your mother. It's all your niece's fault. Just because you heard a few words in Uncle Zhongyong's house last time." The lady said that the eldest aunt's eyes were too high and she didn't even reply to the post. Then she came back and told her mother. "She knelt on the ground with a thud and sobbed softly, "If you want to blame the eldest uncle, blame me. I know I was wrong. Don’t dare to talk nonsense anymore.”
Gu Mingyue cried pitifully, and the second lady felt distressed and quickly pulled her up, "What nonsense are you kidding?"
Gu Mingyue was hugged by the second lady
In my arms, I secretly glanced at Gu Yong, and saw that his expression softened slightly, and my heart dropped slightly. Based on her understanding of her father, he must have been shaken by his words.
After all, no matter how much Gu Yong values Xue, he still has to worry about his own future. Even if there is no friendship between colleagues, there can be no enmity. Mr. Xue never reviews the posts written by colleagues and wives of Yong colleagues, nor does he interact with them. It is not obvious even if the time is short, but in the future, he will definitely make many people hate him. Gu Yong has an opinion.
Gu Yong is an ambitious person, and everything else is fine. When it comes to his future, he will definitely consider more.
As soon as Gu Mingyue nodded, she saw her father lowering his head in deep thought and tugging on the second lady's sleeve. The two of them immediately stood up and left.
When he was going out, he happened to see Mr. Shao coming in with a cup of soup. Gu Mingyue nodded slightly towards Mr. Shao. Mr. Shao glanced at her and smiled at her. After walking far away, Gu Mingyue still felt a little uncomfortable. Shao's smile looked a little weird, which gave her a bad feeling.
As soon as the second lady left, Mr. Shao came in with a cup of soup. Seeing Gu Yong pinching the bridge of his nose tiredly, he pushed the cup of soup to his hand, walked around behind him, and slowly pressed the acupuncture points on his head.
"Brother Yong came here in such a hurry. You haven't eaten yet. Let's drink the soup first." She always spoke softly. This was what Gu Yong had been craving for more than ten years. Unfortunately, he could no longer find it in Xue, and finally Found it on Shaw Brothers.
"Well... my brothers and sisters didn't give you any trouble before, did they?" Gu Yong leaned on the back of his chair, squinted his eyes slightly, and asked casually.
Shao smiled and said, "The second lady just thanked me and said a few words."
"What did you say?"
"Let me take good care of my aunt from now on. If you have any trouble, you can go to her."
"Oh? What's the trouble?" Gu Yong suddenly opened his eyes with sharp eyes.
Shao paused for a moment and said calmly: "I also find it strange that both the second lady and the second girl seem to think that I will be in trouble."
"Second girl? Do you mean the moon?"
"Yes." Mr. Shao smiled and passed the crystal clear bracelet on his wrist forward, "This is what the second lady gave me a few days ago. I don't even know how to return such a big gift. What happened to her?"
