Ever since the old marquis passed away, the second and third houses have continued to have frequent contacts with the Marquis's Mansion because they want to curry favor with Gu Qingchen, this towering tree.

After all, Gu Qingchen is the only connection in the court.

Gu Zecheng analyzed calmly:

"Sister-in-law, I know your difficulties. The three families form an indestructible iron triangle, and none of them can be missing.

You should talk to Chen Ge'er and ask him to help you find some connections and make some arrangements.

After all, Chen Ge'er was a general of the Zhen army and had made outstanding military achievements.

Your Majesty has already made use of him, so why would he vent his anger on him?

What's more, Rong'er and Sheng'er are also his brothers.

The broken bones are still connected to the tendons, he can't just sit there and do nothing, right?"

Seeing that they were clearly here to pick a fight with Song Wanyin, but were instead using threats and inducements to coerce her, the Madam said unhappily:

"Second and third brothers, you guys failed to discipline your sons and let them get into such a big trouble.

He is unwilling to pay money to ask others to do things, but he also wants to involve my son Chen Ge'er.

What exactly are your intentions? "

Gu Zeqian didn't expect that she would bite him back, and he couldn't control his temper and said angrily:

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this?

After all, the three of us are relatives. Shouldn't we help each other when things go wrong?

Since my eldest brother passed away, you have often come to my house and told my wife a lot of faults about Song Wanyin, asking us to take charge of the matter for you.

When you were bullied, my second brother and I stood up to protect you and establish your prestige.

And your brother Chen, we also watched him grow up.

When he was a child, he often came to my place and played with Sheng Ge'er.

The affection between the brothers is obvious to all.”

Gu Zecheng looked slightly annoyed and said straight to the point:

“Sister-in-law, you also know that the second branch has been poorly managed over the years, resulting in the failure of many businesses.

Right now, I am relying on the two profitable shops to make ends meet and support my family.

If we really agreed to Song Wanyin's conditions, not only the second and third rooms would face the days of hunger.

Even your first branch, without the support of our two branches, will probably be swallowed up by Song Wanyin.

By then, your family will be without financial resources, and your fate will be even worse than ours.

If Chen Ge'er were to rely on himself alone, the heavy burden on his shoulders would crush him to death.

Would you rather fight alone, or would you rather the three families stay together for warmth?"

Seeing how aggressive they were, the lady was so angry that she had a heart attack and almost passed out.

"You, you..."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Nanny Gui quickly found a musk heart pill from her body, stuffed it into her mouth, and helped her massage her back to relieve her breathing.

"Madam, please take a deep breath and calm down."

Gu Zecheng and Gu Zeqian remained motionless, looking at her coldly as she wore a mask of pain.

In their hearts, they knew their sister-in-law very well and she liked to act pitiful to gain sympathy.

She should be trying to use the same old trick now to make them give up this idea.

Gu Zeqian urged impatiently:

"Sister-in-law, I don't care if you don't agree today.

I will stay here and wait for Chen Ge'er to come back. He will definitely help me."

Gu Zecheng lost his temper this time and said with a sullen face:

"Sister-in-law, we will stay at your house, you don't have to worry about meals.

We will never leave until we meet Chen Ge'er."

The lady saw through their ugly selfish faces and felt very disappointed.

When the old marquis was alive, when they came to ask for money, they all knelt and bowed their heads.

Now that the Marquis's Mansion is in trouble, they are using the pretext of supporting her.

In fact, I just want to come here to get some valuable things so that it won’t be a wasted trip.

In order to save their son, they did not hesitate to use threats and bribes on themselves. This is clearly moral kidnapping and too much!

At this time, Madam Zhuang came hurriedly to report:

"Madam, something terrible has happened. Miss Jiang accidentally ate coix seeds and her fetus is almost dead.

She is still in a coma and the situation is not optimistic.

The Marquis was furious and was determined to find out the truth. Lilac Garden was in chaos. "

The lady was so frightened that she felt as if struck by lightning. She felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, and her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Aunt Gui screamed in fear, stepped forward and pinched her Ren Zhong point, and stuffed medicine into her mouth.

"Madam, please wake up. Don't scare me."

Gu Zeqian stretched his head and looked for a long time, then muttered:

"Is sister-in-law really fainted, or is she pretending?"

Gu Zecheng was still hoping that the Marquis' Mansion would come forward to rescue his son, so he quickly stepped forward to lend a hand and said:

"Third brother, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and carry the eldest sister-in-law to Suxin Garden."

Gu Zeqian was stunned for a moment, pointed at the tip of his nose, and asked doubtfully:

"What? Who are we? This kind of thing should be done by the servants."

Aunt Gui cried with tears streaming down her face and said:

"Second Master, Third Master, there is something you don't know.

All the servants that the lady brought as a dowry have become lazy and refuse to serve her.

There were only a few servants left in the Marquis's mansion, and they were simply unable to take care of everything.

I am the only one who is taking care of Madam Tai, and there is no one else available to take care of her."

Gu Zeqian's pupils gradually dilated, and he said in disbelief:

"Ah? There is such a thing?

It is truly a wonder that such a dignified Marquisate has fallen to this state."

The Marquis's Mansion is like a tangled mess that cannot be cut or sorted out.

Gu Qingchen had not yet calmed down when he heard that his mother had fainted, and immediately rushed to Suxin Garden.

As soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by his two uncles.

Gu Zeqian said anxiously:

"Brother Chen, your two brothers met the wrong people, and for the sake of a quick verbal fight, they were arrested by the government and thrown into jail.

We are really at our wits' end, please think of a way to rescue them from prison."

Gu Zecheng tightly grasped his arm and said in a trembling voice:

“Your two brothers have been spoiled since they were young, and we have never even touched them with a finger.

It has been more than half a day now, and they must have been tortured and their lives might be in danger.

You have connections in the court. See if you can use them to get some money.

At least rescue the people first."

Gu Qingchen saw that one problem after another arose, and it was really a case of misfortunes never come alone, adding insult to injury.

"My two uncles, I'm sorry I can't do anything about this matter."

These two brothers have caused a lot of trouble outside since they were young.

In the past, when he was not at home, it was Song Wanyin who cleaned up the mess.

Since the authorities were alarmed and they were arrested, it was definitely not a small matter.

He had just made outstanding military achievements, and he couldn't allow someone to find fault with him because of this matter and make a report to His Majesty.

Gu Qingchen shook off his arm indifferently, walked past his two uncles with a resolute attitude, and ran to visit his mother.

Gu Zecheng was defeated, his face turned blue with anger, his whole body trembled, and he shouted angrily:

"Gu Qingchen, you are such a heartless and ungrateful person.

Do you think you can disrespect your elders now that you have some meritorious service in battle?"

Gu Zeqian was extremely disappointed, and he wanted to break Gu Qingchen's spine. He said with great sorrow:

"Brother, you saw it.

We love Gu Qingchen so much, but he is an ungrateful child who can never be tamed."
