One after another, if Mr. Gu didn't understand what was going on, he would have been in vain all these years.
"Idiot." The old man looked at the eldest son of the Gu family with a disappointed look on his face and couldn't help but sigh.
"Boss, what's going on?" Mrs. Gu was so angry that her right hand was shaking. The eldest man of the Gu family lowered his head and said nothing. The old man was too lazy to pay attention to him and ordered: "Where's Mrs. Dou? Ask her to come see me."
Concubine Gu was grounded, and they couldn't even send a message in. They could only watch the emperor suppress the fifth prince and the Gu family step by step, and watch the friends of the Gu family in the court stay away from the Gu family one by one.
Although Dou is the second wife of the eldest master, she still has considerable weight in front of the old master. Dou Gao knows that the old master likes her Shuangli, so he does not go around in circles and directly explains the reason.
Sometimes the housekeeper really doesn't understand what the eldest master and his wife think. The entire Gu family can barely maintain its appearance by relying on the money given by the eldest lady. What right do they have to prevent the eldest lady from entering through the front door
The fifth prince was taken into custody, something must have happened.
When His Highness Qin came back, the Emperor issued an edict to reprimand King Zhou, which frightened the old man even more. The old man knew that this was the old emperor clearing the way for Qin Jiyan. In order for Qin Jiyan to secure the throne, the old emperor would not hesitate to attack his own son, and he would never be lenient.
The servants in the small courtyard were not polite at all. They blocked the door and refused to let Mr. Dou in...
When Mr. Dou heard this, he felt bitter in his heart, but his face seemed to be well-behaved...
A few months ago, Mrs. Gu betrayed Gu Qiancheng and obtained a golden opportunity for Gu Chengzhi from the emperor. Everything was fine, but within two days, the emperor withdrew, saying that he wanted to reconsider.
Mr. Gu knows that if this continues, the Gu family will be destroyed, but if others can break away from the fifth prince, can the Gu family be able to
"Father..." The elder wanted to defend, but the second elder quietly stopped him. The elder looked unhappy, but he could only endure it.
The housekeeper did not hesitate and said bluntly: "Old Master, I just asked, the eldest lady's carriage has been waiting at the door for a long time, and even someone called the door, but no one answered."
Mrs. Gu intercepted Gu Qiancheng's letter and took it upon herself to embarrass Gu Qiancheng. Not only did she not send anyone to pick up Gu Qiancheng, she also transferred the concierge away and refused to open the door for Gu Qiancheng.
After the butler finished speaking, he lowered his head and did not look at the angry eyes of the elder.
The housekeeper was startled and ran out in a hurry. When he came back with a smile on his face, "Old Master, the eldest lady is back." The little maid who was making noise outside the courtyard went to pay respects to Gu Qiancheng and received a reward from Gu Qiancheng. That's why I'm happy.
At this time, the Gu family was in a precarious situation. How could the old man not send someone to pick her up when he knew Gu Qiancheng was back? How could he not gain favor in front of Gu Qiancheng
"The eldest lady is tired and has already rested. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
The old man knew that Gu Qiancheng was back. As the housekeeper's wife, how could Mrs. Dou not know about it. As soon as she heard that Gu Qiancheng had opened the small door from the back and entered her yard directly, she knew something was wrong.
But Old Man Gu knew very well that the fifth prince had second thoughts, and his thoughts were quite serious. The fifth prince was taken into custody by the old emperor this time. He must have done something that made the old emperor extremely dissatisfied.
But what if we knew the reason
"That's it, you guys..." Just as the old man was about to tell the eldest and second masters of the Gu family to leave, he heard the cheerful voice of the maid coming from outside the courtyard.
Does Qiancheng still see him as an old man
The old man had no idea about Gu Qiancheng's return.
Just in time, the servants who went to find out the whole story came at this time. After knowing the reason, Mrs. Dou breathed a long sigh of relief. Let the people around you who have benefited go and apologize to Gu Qiancheng first, while you go and explain to the old man.
Mrs. Dou hurriedly sent someone to find out what was going on. At the same time, she decided to go to Gu Qiancheng in person and apologize to her. However, she was called away by the old man just halfway through.
There were five princes before, and now King Zhou. It would be okay if these two people didn't have bad intentions, but if they did, they would never end well.
The old man was worried, but he was getting older, his energy was limited, and his mind was not as clear as before. He was afraid that he would make the wrong decision, so he summoned the eldest and second masters of the Gu family and planned to ask his two sons what they could do.
Mr. Dou put all the responsibilities on Mrs. Gu, but the old man was understanding. Mrs. Gu is completely ignored now. She can't mobilize the Gu family at all. The only person who can do this is Gu Qiancheng's biological father, the eldest son of the Gu family.
In addition, Mr. Gu was picked out by his superior because of a small mistake two days ago, and he was kicked out of the official position and went home to eat his own food.
"Qiancheng is back?" Mr. Gu was happy at first, but then his expression changed. "Qiancheng is back, why didn't I know?" Qiancheng is back, why didn't you come to see him first
Mrs. Dou rushed to the small courtyard where Gu Qiancheng lived with the old lady's order, but she didn't even see anyone.
…
Mr. Gu looked at his two sons and went from initial hope to disappointment to now despair...
Speaking of which, Gu Qiancheng really made the mistake of blaming the old man this time. It wasn't that the old man didn't welcome her back, or that he didn't send someone to welcome her, but...
Originally, there were several good families who, seeing that Cheng Huan was promising, wanted their children to marry Qian Meng, but during this period, they all became cold and didn't even come to the door.
"This..." The housekeeper looked at the eldest man of the Gu family hesitantly, not daring to say anything.
"I, how do I know? Who knows what that evil girl is thinking. She has always been arrogant. She comes and leaves whenever she wants. She doesn't take us seriously at all. I don't know what she means." Gu family The elder said in a stern tone.
Old Mrs. Gu understood it at the first glance, and immediately said to the eldest son of the Gu family with a stern face: "What's going on?"
The old man frowned and called the housekeeper behind him, "Go and see, what's going on?" You dare to make a noise at this time, do you have any sense
Mr. Gu obviously didn't believe what he said, so he asked the housekeeper beside him: "You said..."
The old man's idea is beautiful, but the reality is extremely cruel. If the eldest and second masters of the Gu family had that ability, the Gu family would not be in this situation today.
The father and son were sitting outside the yard, with the blue sky and white clouds above their heads, and the breeze and the fragrance of flowers and plants around them. However, the pleasant environment could not let the three of them relax. The father and son all had silent faces, and dark clouds seemed to be shrouding their heads.
The fifth prince was taken away by the emperor's people a month ago. His whereabouts are unknown, and his life and death are unknown. Concubine Gu violated the emperor for unknown reasons. Although she kept her position, she was also grounded by the emperor and was not allowed to go out or see outsiders.
The old man didn't even look at him, and said to Mrs. Dou: "Go and tell Qian Cheng that a servant in the mansion made a mistake. Tell her not to take it to heart. I'll wait for her in the study."
