I married the wrong man, and I sent him and his whole family to be executed.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision." Lord Gu knelt down hurriedly, hoping that the emperor could take a look at Gu Baizhou.

He didn't know why the eldest prince and the seventh prince both prevented Gu Baizhou from getting this assignment.

But he changed his mind and thought that according to the emperor's suspicion, the eldest prince and the seventh prince both disliked the Gu family, which just proved that their Gu family would not participate in any party in the fight for the throne. This would deepen the status of the Gu family in the emperor's heart.

It turned out that the eldest prince and the seventh prince had this in mind, and Lord Gu understood it.

These things really cannot be said openly. If the Gu family is deliberately targeted in the court, it will be a good opportunity to get rid of them.

"Let the Ministry of Personnel find someone." The emperor sat solemnly on the dragon throne, looking at everyone expressionlessly.

He was not clear about the affairs of the Cheng'en Marquisate, nor did he care, but judging from the attitudes of his two sons, either the Cheng'en Marquisate had already joined their party, and they were deliberately putting on a show in the court for him to see.

Either that or the Cheng'en Marquisate had done something terribly wrong, allowing the two of them to unite to deal with the same person.

He would not use such people, no matter whether they were good or bad, so he pushed the matter to the Ministry of Personnel and let them make the appointment themselves.

After the morning court session, Lord Gu felt somewhat resentful.

But he couldn't get angry at the eldest prince and the seventh prince, so he could only vent his anger on Gu Baizhou.

"You useless thing, you can't even handle a small matter." Lord Gu sat in the carriage, staring at Gu Baizhou angrily, "Why did I give birth to a useless thing like you!"

"Father, you saw the attitude of His Majesty and the two princes at the morning court today. I have tried my best to get it, but His Majesty doesn't let me go. What can I do?" Gu Baizhou retorted.

Now he just felt aggrieved. He had just recommended himself in the court, but was directly rejected by the emperor. His face was completely shattered.

After the morning court session, he was scolded by the Marquis, but it was not his fault at all.

"If you were more capable, would His Majesty still not let you go?"

Gu Baizhou had a cold face and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked, "Why do the First Prince and the Seventh Prince disagree with my going today?"

"We cannot stand with them openly, otherwise the emperor will be suspicious of us. You don't understand this, you piece of shit!" Marquis Gu felt more and more that his son was incompetent.

He first married Yu Wangfei as his wife, thinking that this chess piece would be easy to control. However, ever since Yu Wangfei got married, the entire Gu family has been in turmoil.

Now the emperor feels that Gu Baizhou is not capable of taking on important tasks. It seems that they can only cling to the thighs of the eldest prince and the seventh prince in order to keep Cheng'en Marquisate in a glimmer of hope during the transition of imperial power.

"Okay, father thinks I'm a waste, so I won't ride in the carriage with him." Gu Baizhou was a little annoyed, he opened the curtain of the carriage and jumped down.

In his heart he felt that he had done nothing wrong, but Lord Gu put all the blame on him, which made him a little angry.

"Let him go!" Lord Gu cursed and ordered the coachman to ignore Gu Baizhou.

After getting off the carriage, Gu Baizhou planned to walk back to the mansion on foot, but unexpectedly, he was suddenly stopped by a dandy young man.

When he looked down, it turned out to be the second branch of the Gu family, his cousin Gu Baili.

As for the second son, he likes to spend his days drinking and partying and is often not at home, so Gu Baizhou hasn't seen him for a long time.

"Cousin, why are you doing this again?" Gu Baili smiled and patted his back.

"Let go." Gu Baizhou said with some disgust.

Before he entered the officialdom, Lord Gu often taught him to cut off ties with the second branch of the Gu family, otherwise it would definitely affect his official career.

"Hey, cousin, you look like you're worried about something." Gu Baizhou stood up straight, took out the wine flask from his waist and took a sip.

"How disrespectful you look!" Gu Baizhou patted the arm that had just been touched by Gu Baili with disdain.

"I knew that you were worried about something, so today I will take you to enjoy the ultimate happiness on earth." Gu Baili was a little drunk and directly pulled Gu Baizhou to a red courtyard next to him.

After entering the yard, Gu Baili ordered the waiter to serve the dishes and pour the wine. Although Gu Baizhou didn't want to stay with Gu Baili, he didn't want to go home and listen to the blame from Lord Gu even more.

I just sat down and planned to have a drink and go back later.

"We two brothers may not have met each other, so don't be restrained, cousin." Gu Baili poured wine for Gu Baizhou while smiling.

"When will you return home?" Gu Baizhou asked, "You should go back to see your grandmother."

"Why should I go back home to listen to my grandmother blame me for being useless? I'm very free and easy now, hahaha." Gu Baili picked up the wine jug and started drinking.

After finishing a pot of wine, Gu Baili happily wiped his mouth with his hand, and then he looked at the actors performing on the stage.

Without saying anything, he walked straight over, took off the jade pendant from his waist, and said to the actor affectionately: "I love you, this jade pendant is a reward for you, why don't you come down and drink some wine with me."

The shopkeeper stepped forward immediately upon seeing this and said, "Sir, this is a theater, not a brothel."

"Nonsense!" Gu Baili didn't believe it and pushed the shopkeeper, "Which theater is decorated like yours?"

The situation was not good, so the shopkeeper immediately asked someone to invite Chu Yuheng over.

They only knew that Chu Yuheng was the master behind the scenes, but they didn't know that Chu Yuheng was not in the capital at the moment, and they didn't know that the real owner of the theater was Yu Wangfei.

"Our shop does legitimate business." The shopkeeper noticed that Gu Baizhou and Gu Baili were wearing expensive Yunyan fabrics, and realized that they must be dignitaries in the capital. He did not dare to have them kicked out directly, and could only persuade them in a low voice.

"Today, I want her to drink with me. If you don't agree, I will smash your store!"

Gu Baizhou just sat there drinking, not caring at all whether Gu Baili would cause trouble.

The waiter bravely went to the Ninth Prince's mansion, but was told that Chu Yuheng was not in the capital at the moment. He was so anxious that he didn't know what to do and could only go back to discuss it with the shopkeeper.

At this time, Yunhua went out to buy something and happened to run into a waiter working in the theater.

Seeing how anxious he was, Yunhua felt something was wrong, so he quickly stopped him and asked what happened.

It so happened that the waiter had met Yunhua once when Yu Wangfei went to the theater, so he told her everything about Gu Baili's trouble as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

After learning about the incident, Yunhua hurried back to Fangfeiyuan and told Yu Wangfei every word of the news the waiter had told him.

"What? This is actually happening!" Yu Wangfei was shocked.

I opened a shop in the capital just to make some money, but someone actually caused trouble, and the people causing trouble were the two brothers Gu Baizhou and Gu Baili!
