502, Dismissing Aunt 2
Not to mention that my aunt and maid were taken aback, Gu Qianxue was also terrified—is there any precedent in Nanyue Country where a divorced child is awarded to a woman
There are indeed poor families. In order to quickly make room for newborn sons, some scumbags drive out their wives and children together. Of course, the result is also condemned, but since such scumbags are committed, scumbags are often not afraid.
The question is, isn't Gu Shangshu afraid? What officials are most afraid of is wind criticism. If it is reported that Gu Shangshu abandoned his concubine and daughter, wouldn't it be bad
Mrs. Zheng was anxious, "Qingze, what did you say?"
Gu Shangshu replied seriously, "My son is asking Qianxue, she chooses whether to go or stay."
Gu Qianrou was completely stunned, she never thought that the matter would be so serious, and...she didn't think about it, let alone know where she was going. Although she is the second lady in Gu Shangshu's mansion, in her heart, she thinks that she is from the Gu family, and her grandmother and father treat her well; moreover, if her mother really leaves the Gu family and remarries, who knows what kind of marriage she will have? family? Even if my grandfather was the prime minister, my mother's age was also doomed to never marry again.
Gu Shangshu asked Aunt Pei softly, "Yu Rui, do you want Rou'er to go with you, or stay at Gu's house."
Aunt Pei was also conflicted, "Rou'er..." In fact, she was reluctant to part with her daughter.
Gu Qianrou lowered her head and lowered her eyes expressionlessly, no one could see that the light in her eyes had flickered away - she decided to stay in the Gu family. In the Gu family, she is still an official lady, but if her mother really married into a merchant, how would she have any status
Gu Shangshu said, "I also hate Rou'er, but if Yurui you have a good home, or simply stay in Pei's house and don't marry, Rou'er will not be a concubine. If you rely on Pei's back like that, her home will also be lost." It won't be any worse."
These words reminded Gu Qianrou all at once—she almost forgot that the difference between a concubine and a concubine is like clouds and mud, and even more like a gap that can never be bridged!
Everyone saw that Gu Qianrou knelt down and kowtowed three times to Gu Shangshu, with tears in her eyes, "Father, grandmother, although Rou'er wants to accompany and serve you, but I can't bear to part with mother. I'm sorry." After finishing speaking, kowtow again .
Aunt Pei couldn't bear the sadness in her heart at all, and burst into tears.
Gu Qianxue sighed deeply, and felt a little sad.
"This matter has been decided in this way. In the morning tomorrow, I will send someone to send your mother and daughter back to Pei's house together with the dowry of the year. I just say that you and I are divorced, and we will have nothing to do with each other in the future. As for Rou'er, because Rou'er If you haven't entered the family tree of the Gu family, you can go with you, if you want to change your surname in the future, you can do it." Gu Shangshu said lightly.
It can be said that Gu Shangshu took so much care of Aunt Pei that he used to reconcile her.
There is only talk about reconciliation between husband and wife, and it is aimed at the regular wife. As for the concubine's room, the men just kicked it out if they didn't want it, and some unscrupulous men even gave away or sold the concubine's room.
"Master, will such an influence..." Aunt Pei was born in an official family, so she naturally understands the pros and cons.
Gu Shangshu smiled, "A man, so what if he gets scolded a few times? I was not responsible to you in the past, but now I will be responsible once."
As soon as Gu Shangshu's words fell, Gu Qianrou rushed over to hug Aunt Pei and burst into tears.
Not only the mother and daughter were crying, but the other aunts couldn't help crying because they thought of their own sad situation. Now Gu Shangshu only dotes on his wife and does not enter their yard at all. Although they have no hope of becoming a wife, if they are not touched by their husband, they are doomed to have no children and heirs, and they will have no support in the future.
Especially Aunt Liu, Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang, the three of them were specially accepted by Gu Shangshu to give birth to a son, and now the son has not been seen yet, but they have fallen out of favor. Before the age of double tenth, the good years are destined to wither gradually like unnoticed flowers in this yard.
Zheng, who was watching coldly, thought carefully and weighed it, and accepted the result. After all, there is no place for two tigers on one mountain. The Pei family and the Zhao family, a lady from the prime minister's mansion, and the only daughter of Marshal Zhao are all characters that the Gu family can't afford to mess with. In the past, the Zhao family won because of their stupidity, and the balance of the balance was tilted towards Aunt Pei; but now Gu Qianxue is not A fuel-efficient lamp, Aunt Pei has only been left out for a few months and then she can't bear the loneliness, staying is also a disaster.
Aunt Pei's departure is equivalent to inviting a great god to leave, and the backyard of the Gu family is much more comfortable and peaceful. As for Gu Qianrou's child, it's a pity, but there's nothing he can do about it.
Just when Gu Shangshu was about to close the case, someone in the crowd suddenly said, "Father, my daughter has a suggestion. I wonder if father is willing to listen." It was Gu Qianxue.
Gu Qianrou and Aunt Pei's whole body froze, fearing that something would happen to Gu Qianxue.
"Qianxue, tell me." Gu Shangshu said.
Gu Qianxue nodded and walked to the center of the main hall. "First of all, a daughter must express her admiration for her father. It is not the father's deep sense of righteousness, nor the father's tolerance for humiliation, but the father's benevolence. When you said that you would give Aunt Pei freedom, the daughter almost burst into tears. At the same time, the daughter also had an idea." The voice paused, because she was about to throw a shocking depth charge, "Since father set Aunt Pei free, why don't you ask other aunts, if you don't want to stay, just set them free? "
When she said this, Gu Qianxue's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't be sure whether Gu Shangshu was really kind or hypocritical.
Zheng patted his crutches, "Qianxue, you are a sensible child, your father is confused today, why are you also confused?"
Gu Qianxue bowed her head and said nothing, she just made a suggestion, but she didn't want to be kidnapped morally, the final decision was still on Gu Shangshu. If Gu Shangshu really likes Zhao Shi, and is willing to guard Zhao Shi to live a good life, so what if he dismisses the concubine he doesn't like
Seeing this, all the aunts rushed out and knelt down. Some begged not to leave Gu's mansion because they couldn't leave Gu Shangshu, and some just knelt and watched the changes without making any comments.
Gu Qianxue found that the loudest pleaders were Aunt Li and Aunt Ye, who had daughters Gu Qianling and Gu Qianzi; Some people with a little background, no children and no hope.
Gu Qianxue continued, "Of course, it's not just my own choice to stay or leave my aunts. It also depends on my father's will. But I, Gu Qianxue, promise that all the aunts will not serve my father in vain. According to the time of entering the house, we will A certain amount of financial compensation will be given, such as Aunt Liu and other young people, I will give five thousand taels of silver, and Aunt Cheng who has been in the mansion for a long time, I will give ten thousand taels of silver!"
