Aunt Ning was in charge of the family for the first time. Although she had some shortcomings in handling things, she was very good at doing things and gave her plenty of benefits, so she didn't cause any big trouble. The most important thing is that Mr. Xue did not take the opportunity to let her subordinates confront her. Even when she removed many of Mr. Xue's people and put her own people in the main room, there was no movement at all.
This is how people's ambitions are slowly raised. Aunt Ning is just an ordinary person. Once she becomes powerful, even if she can endure it now, the people under her may not be able to endure it. However, in just a few days, the news spread that the Gu family was controlled by an aunt.
Although it was claimed that the mistress, Mrs. Xue, was in poor health and asked Aunt Ning to help share the burden, the truth was just a matter of opinion.
The whole Gu family is now controlled by Aunt Ning. Although Aunt Liu is favored, she cannot get around Aunt Ning. These two favored aunts are now truly evenly matched. After gaining power in the family, Aunt Ning wanted to release her daughter, but she never had a good excuse.
She knew in her heart that her current rights depended on the old lady's words. Gu Mingxin was becoming more and more favored in front of the old lady, which was not good news for her.
When Aunt Ning was worried about her daughter, the Bai family suddenly handed over a post. Within two days, Miss Bai's family paid a visit, and she made it clear that she wanted to express her gratitude to Gu Mingyue, the second girl of the Gu family.
Now the Bai family is not as unknown as before. Master Bai joined the cabinet soon after returning to Beijing. In the eyes of nobles and nobles, the Bai family may not be anything, but in front of the Gu family, the Bai family is undoubtedly an existence that cannot be offended. It is rare for the Bai family to be ignored. If the young lady from the family came to visit, Mrs. Gu would have wanted to come out to greet her in person if she didn't care about her identity.
Knowing that she was here for the second girl, she began to think about whether she should release the second girl earlier. As for offending Princess Xin'an, there was no movement there anyway, so the matter was probably over long ago.
Bai Yixin had thought that her cousin would vent her anger for her, but she didn't expect that her cousin did nothing. By the time she found out about Gu Mingyue's confinement, it was already more than ten days later. Thinking that his "savior" was being punished by his aunt at home,
On impulse, she went directly to visit him.
Fortunately, the Gu family is sensible, and the smile on Bai Yixin's face brightened after meeting Gu Mingyue. Although the second girl of the Gu family was born as a concubine, she was rarely a chivalrous woman. She suffered a lot when she contradicted Princess Xin'an that day. You will not feel sorry for yourself when you feel wronged, but you will have the courage to resist.
Gu Mingyue was somewhat surprised to see Bai Yixin, but she could not hide the resentment in her heart. Why was she here instead of Prince Heng's people? This was what she was thinking in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Gu Mingyue just said cautiously, "Miss Bai, long time no see. How are you lately?"
"Sister Gu, you don't have to be so polite to me. Just call me Yixin. It's all my fault that it took me so long to come to see you." Bai Yixin bowed to her, showing off her ladylike attitude.
Gu Mingyue smiled, with a flash of grievance in her eyes, "Yixin, what are you talking about? I helped you that day just because I felt that I was in love with you, not for any reason. Stop standing here, Bai Zhi, go and prepare something." Bring the refreshments." Gu Mingyue gave her a look.
"Yes, girl." Bai Zhi bowed her head and retreated.
After welcoming Bai Yixin into the house, the two started chatting. After waiting for a while, the tea did not come, but Bai Zhi walked in looking embarrassed, with red and swollen cheeks.
"What's wrong with you?" Gu Mingyue's face darkened when she saw Bai Zhi's appearance, and she asked displeasedly.
"Girl, the kitchen said that the third girl wanted to use snacks. Not only did they take away the prepared snacks, but the third girl's maid also beat the slave."
Bai Yixin was somewhat embarrassed when she overheard other people's housework. Although she admired Gu Mingyue very much, she was still unfamiliar with him and couldn't say anything, so she could only sit aside.
Gu Mingyue sighed slightly, "How could Sanmei have ever been such a stingy person? It's just a snack, take it away, and so do you. Hongyue is just trying to save face for Sanmei, what's the point of arguing with her?"
"It's all your fault, please punish me." Bai Zhi stopped defending herself and admitted her mistake.
"Forget it, forget it this time. If I find out about it again, you won't have to wait in front of me."
Gu Mingyue's gesture made Bai Yixin couldn't help but take a high look. She was the most
A well-behaved person, this is what her mother taught her at home. Although Gu Mingyue is a concubine, she behaves very appropriately. She really did not misjudge the person.
Gu Mingyue did not miss the flash of satisfaction on Bai Yixin's face. If she had not known what kind of person this Miss Bai was, she would not have gone out of her way to make friends with her.
What a lady, she thinks, is just a joke. What she despised the most in her heart was this kind of person, who looked aloof and only knew the rules. If he hadn't had a good mother and a good identity, he would have died countless times. He was so stupid!
But she is the cousin of Prince Heng. With her current identity, if she wants to catch up with Prince Heng, she can only start with Bai Yixin. It doesn't matter if it's stupid, at least it's easy to handle, and with her as a shield, it can also be used against Princess Xincheng.
Bai Yixin left the Gu family not long after she left. Before leaving, she invited the ladies of the Gu family to visit her home in front of Mrs. Gu. Even so, everyone could see that she was mainly there for Gu Mingyue. After all, Gu Mingyue was just a concubine, and she couldn't go out alone.
Old Mrs. Gu wished she could get in touch with the Bai family right away, so she naturally agreed. When they left, she praised Gu Mingyue. Aunt Ning took the opportunity to say a lot of good things. The old lady was so happy that she finally gave the three The month's grounding was also waived.
Gu Mingmou was not surprised at all when she heard the news. She didn't expect that the girl from the Bai family was a kindhearted person and actually came to support Gu Mingyue. Her grandmother had always been short-sighted. Knowing that there was a pavilion elder in the Bai family, she was probably thinking about how to get there, and she didn't even think about whether letting Gu Mingyue out like this would offend the owner of Xincheng An.
"Is the girl really going to visit the Bai family? It would be too much for the old lady to agree without even saying hello." Xiuye muttered to the side.
Gu Mingmou has long been used to Xiuye's rudeness. Although she felt a little strange in her heart, she didn't say anything. Instead, Xiuyue opened her mouth and scolded her coldly, "Shut up, if this word spreads, it will be thought that the girl is dissatisfied with the old lady! Where have you learned all the rules?"
"I'm just aggrieved for the girl. How can I understand the rules like Sister Xiuyue." Xiuye said bitterly.
