"The eldest lady is still young. It'll be fine once you think about it." Seeing Gu Yong frowning, Gu Tong comforted him. Even so, it didn't make Gu Yong's face look any better.
"She's still young? She'll be able to get married next year when she's hair-cut. She's still so willful that she can't tell the difference between the important and the important."
Gu Tong also sighed and said casually: "Among the three young ladies, only the second young lady has the most temperament like the master."
"Yes... it's a pity." Gu Yong was indeed a little reluctant to hear him mention his second daughter. If Aunt Ning hadn't made a big mistake and Tongtong forced him, she would have sent Mingyue to the second room. However, the second bedroom and the eldest bedroom had completely broken up with each other before. Ming Yue was worried about something and hadn't come over for a while.
When Gu Tong saw that he had finished speaking, he closed his mouth. It’s time to say some things before they can be said, so it’s better to think about them slowly.
As for the eldest lady, she established her authority over him and caused his nephew to be kicked out of the house. She should also be made clear that the master has the final say in this family, and he is the one who can influence his thoughts.
Early the next morning, Gu Mingmou had just opened his eyes when he saw Xiuyue walking forward eagerly, holding something in her hand.
Yawning lazily, he stretched his waist. His long black satin-like hair fell from his shoulders. Black gold-infused strings hung loosely around his neck and waist, with large red lotuses embroidered in the same color. The bellyband blocked the scenery in front but exposed the entire snow-white and smooth back.
Xiuyue's heartbeat slowed down a beat when she saw this beautiful scenery. She became more and more uneasy thinking about Prince Heng who occasionally came in person in the middle of the night and stared at her with eager eyes. Although I didn't see any traces on the girl when I was serving her, but according to that person's temperament, it was just a matter of time.
This girl intends to terminate the engagement with the Yongning Houfu, and she agrees with it in her heart. It is better than marrying into the Houfu and still being involved with Prince Heng. It's just that the identity gap between Prince Heng and the girl is too big. With their girl's temperament, how can they enter the palace as a concubine? Even the concubine promised by the Queen Mother is ignored. There is no future between the two.
She didn't know why the girl compromised, but it wouldn't last long. What would she do in the future
"Whose post is it?" As she got closer, she saw that Xiuyue was holding a post, and the faint fragrance wafted over it.
Gu Mingmou's words interrupted Xiuyue's thinking, and she quickly responded:
"It's a post from Princess Qiyang, inviting the lady to listen to the piano at Suifeng Pavilion."
"Listen to the piano?" The first thing that came to Gu Mingmou's mind was the piano he won. Princess Qiyang had been silent these days, and he thought she had given up completely. It seemed that was not the case.
But why did it happen at this time
She had offended the Queen Mother. It was impossible for Princess Qiyang not to know that she came to her door at this time. Did she want to put pressure on her to get the piano, or was it for some other reason
"Girl, the people from the Princess Mansion are still waiting for a reply."
"Go back, just say I will be there on time." It seemed that the other party did not intend to give her a chance to refuse.
Princess Qiyang seemed to be in a hurry, and the time on the post was set in the afternoon. The morning passed by in a flash. Xiuyue chose a light green gauze skirt for her, paired with a round fan embroidered with green vines. The jade fan pendant was placed on her hand. In such a hot afternoon, it seemed to bring a touch of warmth. Cool.
Walking out with the two maids, they happened to meet Gu Yong who was also out. Gu Mingmou stopped and saluted the middle-aged man respectfully, "Father."
"You want to go out?" Gu Yong frowned and his tone was a little low.
"yes."
"You're not young anymore. It's better to go out less often in the future."
"My daughter knows." Gu Ming lowered his eyes and did not explain to him, nor did he care about the displeasure in his tone.
"I heard that the Queen Mother gave you a nanny?"
"yes."
Gu Yong nodded, "I'll have a good time studying with grandma from now on."
Gu Mingmou suddenly raised his head. There were indistinguishable emotions in those light-colored eyes. Gu Yong was stunned for a moment, and saw her lowering her head again, "My daughter will definitely live up to her father's expectations."
"Okay, you go back first."
After Gu Yong walked away, Gu Tong, who was following Gu Yong, suddenly turned around. Seeing Gu Mingmou standing still, he smiled and said: "It's hot outside, young lady, you'd better go back to the house and rest."
Gu Mingmou didn't even look at Gu Tong, but Xiuyue spoke up, "Princess Qiyang invited our lady to listen to the piano. This is a post. Do you want to see it, Manager Gu?"
Gu Tong's expression froze, and he regretted that he had talked too much.
Just because he didn't say anything didn't mean that Xiuyue would let him go so easily, and continued: "Guanshi Gu has such a great reputation, and even the father-in-law
I want to take care of everything about the Lord. "
"Miss Xiuyue misunderstood." Gu Tong laughed dryly, wishing he could immediately step forward and block Xiuyue's mouth. He knew that she was holding the banner of Princess Qiyang, but he couldn't say these words freely. He took two steps back and looked up at Gu Yong, "Master... do you think?"
"Okay." Gu Yong was dissatisfied with the fact that the maid next to his daughter was so sharp-tongued, and couldn't help asking: "These two maids look strangers to each other, where is the Xiuye who is used to serving you?"
"Xiuye redeemed her body early in the morning. It's rare that her father still remembers it. As for Xiuyue and the others, it was her mother who chose her for her daughter. They have always been loyal."
"Loyalty is good, but you should also pay attention to your identity."
"My daughter will definitely scold her if she remembers it."
Only then was Gu Yong satisfied. Seeing that it was late, he left in a hurry.
Gu Tong followed behind and could vaguely hear someone say, "He is just an unfaithful and unjust dog, and he has no reason to lose his identity."
He was not sure whether Gu Yong heard this sentence, but there was a storm in his heart.
Are they talking about themselves? What does this mean
When Gu Yong was scolding Gu Mingmou, Sanqi kept watching with cold eyes. If the man in front of him was not the girl's biological father, she would have taken action long ago.
When she came here, she kept all the information about the Gu family in her mind. She had known that Gu Yong didn't have much affection for her only legitimate daughter, but seeing that Gu Mingmou was not even as good as a servant who had been serving him for many years in Gu Yong's eyes, she still I couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
Especially that dog was bribed.
Since Sanqi arrived, Gu Mingmou's sources of information have increased a lot. It is no longer just what Xiuyue deliberately inquired from others, but more of what Sanqi heard personally.
There was a maid who came from the secret guard camp of the prince's palace, and she used it to spy on some secrets in the back house, which was really a fuss.
But it wasn't a waste of time. She still heard something useful, more or less.
For example, her younger sister who was adopted into the second room did not give up. Not only did she secretly seduce Gu Mingxin, but she also hooked up with the most capable steward around Gu Yong. Originally, Gu Yong didn't like her as a daughter very much, and there was another person who tried to smear her day and night whenever he found the opportunity. You can imagine what would happen to her if she made one wrong move.
