Chapter 18: Crossing the River and Wanting to Destroy the Bridge
After this trip, Gu Ruoxi understood a few things, but was also a little confused.
However, I felt a change in the Marquis' wife. It seemed that she changed after she yelled at someone last night. Even her aura changed.
They left without hesitation, leaving the elders in the hall looking at each other in bewilderment.
An elder snorted coldly:
"Stop thanking my wife? Does the Marquis think so too? Don't you think about how this Marquisate was established? It's not that easy to demolish the bridge after crossing it. The prince is also in the court. Madam, please think twice before speaking!"
"This is just nonsense. He didn't bow down yesterday and pretended to be injured. He can do such a thing. Brothers are friendly and respectful to each other. Where did you read this book?"
"Let's take our leave first. Lord Marquis, think about it carefully. It's a good thing that the prince has woken up. Last night, the emperor specially sent eunuch Wang to visit him. It can be seen that the emperor attaches great importance to the prince."
"You really can't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant. I think that the Marquis should take some time out of his busy schedule to discipline the children in this mansion. They are indeed not brought up by the mistress and are not presentable! Humph!"
Several elders of the clan criticized the situation, then left with their families.
The Changyong Marquis Mansion is the best among the Nangong family, but as a big family, there must be rules of conduct.
The Nangong family had indeed become a powerful family in the capital thanks to the Changyong Marquis Mansion, but it was only a newly-promoted powerful family. Compared with the Xie family, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree.
In the past, I heard that they were holding the Xie family girl hostage, but the Xie family didn't say anything and the Xie family girl didn't cause any trouble. The clan just turned a blind eye.
But now it seems that this Marquisate, let alone bringing glory to the clan, will do well not to bring trouble to the clan!
In the main hall, there were the Marquis with an ugly face and the old Marquis’ wife who was so angry that she wanted to explode!
Why! Why do those old men come to this mansion to give orders?
I am the most important person in this mansion and the one who calls the shots!
The wife of the Xie family has been showing off her superiority in every way since she came into the family. Even her mother-in-law cannot hold herself up in front of her.
Now that his son has established himself in the court, his niece has been here all these years, managing the household and serving as a concubine.
She has always wanted to give her niece justice.
Why keep a woman like Xie?
Madam Zhuce, who was still holding her daughter and crying, did not receive the comfort from the Marquis as she had in the past, and felt a little uneasy in her heart.
Chang Yonghou just stood up, sent the elders away, and asked coldly:
"Is Xuan'er really injured or is he just pretending?"
The Marquis was personally present at the entire wedding yesterday.
First, the second young master did not come to the wedding ceremony, and then the rooster that was prepared was pierced with needles.
This isn't targeted at why?
Yesterday, the Marquis naively believed that someone outside the mansion did not want the mansion to be good and did not want the prince to wake up, so he did this little trick in his mansion.
And asked the attendant to check it out!
How much does he trust his concubine?
The Marquis's wife yelled at him last night, but he thought she was being unreasonable.
Last night, when Yu'er woke up, he didn't call him "Dad" but only "Master Marquis". Today, Yu'er looked at him coldly without saying a word, which made the Master Marquis suddenly feel like he had lost something.
Zhu Xinlan was shocked, but she couldn't let the Marquis really know that Xuan'er's injury was fake.
Holding her daughter in her arms, she looked up at the Marquis with tears in her eyes, her voice was also tender and sad:
"My Lord, Jiaojiao is still a child, and she was just irritated by her sister's words. Do you believe the angry words of a child? Xuan'er has always valued his brother, so why doesn't he take saving his brother to heart? My Lord has wronged him."
The Marquis was silent, looked down at Zhu Xinlan a few times, said nothing, and left.
He didn't even greet the old marquis' wife and just left.
Naturally, the old marquis’s wife had another fit.
As soon as he left, Zhu Xinlan stood up straight, put away the sadness on her face, and looked towards the East Courtyard with hatred, no one knew what she was thinking.
But they didn't know that everything that happened here was like a live broadcast, and Gu Ruoxi, who was walking on the street, heard it all.
The flowers and grasses all vied to report to her.
She doesn't understand the social etiquette and rules here, but she can learn.
From what these people said and did, she knew who was right and who was wrong, and who should do what.
The conversations of those elders made her feel even more that clinging to the Marquis's wife was her greatest support in this Marquis's mansion.
There is a small garden between Wutong Courtyard and Chaohui Courtyard on the east side, and there are two tall trees, which block some sunlight for the small garden.
Gu Ruoxi likes to stay among the plants. Not only can it increase her wood spirit, but it also makes her feel comfortable.
"I…can we just stay here for a while?"
Gu Ruoxi knew that Nangong Yu was going to go back to bed and pretend to be poisoned.
But her body really needed to replenish the wood spirit. It was much more comfortable to stay here than in that room full of the smell of medicine.
Nangong Yu originally led her out of Jing'an Hall hand in hand, showing how much he valued his wife.
After coming out, he turned around and looked at the hand he was holding.
The little finger kept moving slightly, very naturally, and there seemed to be no pattern to it.
Look at her other hand, it is also moving constantly.
What is she doing?
Nangong Yu didn't dare to ask, but now after hearing what she meant, he stopped her without hesitation.
When the Marquis looked back, he explained:
"Mom, I haven't left my room for several days. Why don't we sit in the garden for a while?"
Gu Ruoxi's eyes lit up. He was so nice. It was obvious that she wanted to stay here, but he even found a reason for her.
Madam Hou paused and nodded:
"As long as you don't feel uncomfortable sitting down, it's fine. Do you want someone to bring a couch over so you can lie down here?"
"No need, just ask someone to bring a small table and a few stools over."
There was no need to give any further instructions. Qingqiu immediately asked someone to arrange it and also asked someone to bring some cakes and tea over.
Gu Ruoxi was very happy when she saw everything they brought. Nangong Yu, who had been keeping an eye on her, also noticed it. Her eyes lit up when she saw the cakes, and she couldn't help but twitch her lips.
As Gu Ruoxi sat down, she thought of one thing:
"Sister Qingqiu, have someone open all the windows in my... uh... the prince's room and move the screen so that the medicinal smell in the room can disperse. The room is full of the smell of medicine. It smells bitter."
Nanny Yang added with a smile:
"Now that the prince has woken up, he's not afraid of the wind anymore, so just open it and let it blow. Then we'll burn some incense again..."
"No, no incense!"
Gu Ruoxi interrupted immediately.
She really couldn't accept that kind of incense, which completely polluted the fragrance of flowers and plants in the air.
They couldn't feel it, but Gu Ruoxi could feel the breath of destroyed nature.
This made her very uncomfortable.
Nangong Yu glanced at her and said:
"From now on, we won't need to use incense in our room."
Gu Ruoxi looked at Nangong Yu and smiled again, and he said "we".
