Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore
Chapter 25 Husband pointed out
In Lilac Garden, Jiang Lanyue rested in bed for a few days and finally woke up from her coma.
When she learned the bad news that she had almost had a miscarriage, she was so frightened that she lost her mind and was suspicious all day long, fearing that someone was trying to murder the baby in her belly.
She reviewed it carefully, but couldn't figure out which link went wrong.
I had been planning to find an opportunity to teach Song Wanyin a lesson, but I didn't expect that I almost killed myself.
The fetus in her belly is her only lifeline to the entire Marquis's Mansion.
A mother's status depends on her son. As long as she gives birth to a big fat boy for the Gu family, everything in the Marquis's Mansion will belong to her son in the future.
Once her ultimate goal is achieved, whatever she wants will be within her reach.
"Sister Yue, where are you?"
Madam Jiang, the voice came into the bedroom before the person arrived.
"You girl, you really worried me to death."
Jiang Lanyue was horrified. She didn't expect her mother to come to her house so soon. What if her mother knew that she almost had a miscarriage?
With my parents' tempers, they would definitely blow the roof off the entire Marquis's Mansion.
Maybe her parents would regret the engagement and not want her to marry Gu Qingchen.
By then, all her efforts and plans will be wasted.
As soon as Madam Jiang entered the room, she saw Jiang Lanyue leaning on the rosewood carved bed, her face was pale, her lips were bloodless, and she had lost a lot of weight. She exclaimed:
"Sister Yue, what's wrong with you?"
Every daughter is the apple of her parents’ eyes. They usually hold her in their hands for fear of dropping her, and hold her in their mouths for fear of melting her. They never let her suffer.
Even a sneeze on an ordinary day could alarm the entire Earl's Mansion.
Seeing her daughter become so haggard, she burst into tears out of heartache.
Jiang Lanyue glanced at Gu Qingchen who was following behind her mother and winked at her. She immediately understood what he meant and said:
"Mom, I'm fine, I just accidentally got a stomachache.
The doctor has examined me, and Brother Qingchen has been taking care of me all the time. I am fine now."
Madam Jiang's expression suddenly changed. She quickly stroked her belly and said with concern:
"Why did I get an upset stomach?
Sister Yue, you are pregnant now, so you must be careful.
If something happens to you, what will your father and I do?"
Having said this, she couldn't help but take out her silk handkerchief and wipe away her tears.
Jiang Lanyue tried to persuade him for a long time, then looked at Gu Qingchen helplessly, seeking help from him.
Gu Qingchen immediately apologized and said:
"Aunt Jiang, this is all my fault. It's my fault for not taking good care of her that Lan Yue got greedy for coolness."
Madam Jiang's expression changed slightly, with a reproachful look in her eyes, and she said sternly:
"My Lord, you swore to us two elders that you would never let Sister Yue suffer any harm in this life.
Right now, you have to give me a reasonable explanation.
If you are unable to protect both mother and child, I will have no choice but to take her back to the Earl's Mansion and take good care of her.
If the old man comes today, how will you explain it?"
Gu Qingchen stood in front of her, very respectful and submissive, and said:
"Aunt Jiang, I will definitely buy a lot of expensive supplements and nutritional products to replenish Lanyue's blood and nourish her skin. I will never treat her unfairly."
Madam Jiang was experienced. From the moment she entered the mansion, she discovered that the huge Marquis's Mansion was deserted, with only a few servants serving.
"My Lord, there are many things I don't want to make clear, so as not to embarrass everyone.
You and I both know very well what the conditions of your Gu family are.
As your wedding is approaching, have you prepared all the gifts?
If you really encounter any difficulties, just ask.
Our sister Yue has her family as a backer. "
Gu Qingchen's face felt like he had been slapped several times. It was burning hot. He clenched his fists and said in a low voice:
"Junior knows."
Mrs. Jiang wanted to visit her daughter and also to give Gu Qingchen a warning.
As a man, he should be ambitious and enterprising, instead of relying on women in everything.
Madam Jiang frowned and said:
"Sister Yue, you just ran out of the house without saying a word, aren't you afraid of what outsiders will gossip about?
Although your wedding is imminent, both parties cannot meet each other before the wedding.
When you feel better, return home quickly to avoid your father getting worried.
More importantly, if you go all out, others will look down on you."
The last sentence was deliberately emphasized.
Gu Qingchen understood the implication of her words and felt so ashamed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
Jiang Lanyue threw herself into her mother's arms and said coquettishly like she did when she was a child:
"Mother, I know you care about me the most. Father also hopes you can help me cover up."
After seeing off Madam Jiang and her group, the two elders of the Gu family came to Gu Qingchen with cold faces.
Seeing that they were still lingering in the mansion and refused to leave, Gu Qingchen invited them to the main hall to talk.
"My two uncles, I know you are eager to save your son, but I really can't do anything about this matter."
Gu Zeqian rebuked with a look of dismay:
"Brother Chen, as your third uncle, I have never treated you harshly.
When you got into trouble as a child, I was the one who protected you and prevented your father from punishing you.
Right now, your brothers are in trouble, but you just sit there and do nothing. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"
Gu Zecheng's brows knitted into knots and he sighed:
"You have now inherited the title and become the general of the Zhen army.
Over the years, you have been on military campaigns abroad and have made outstanding military achievements, and you have a certain prestige in the imperial court.
If you really want to save your two brothers, it's not difficult at all.
The second and third wives are indeed desperate. If you don't help them, you will no longer be their relatives.
By then, you will become the most unfilial sinner in the entire Gu family."
Gu Qingchen's eyes were cold. Facing the accusations and misunderstandings of his two uncles, he said slowly:
"My two uncles, you have come at the right time today. I have something important to announce to you.
The mansion is out of money. Now we have to treat my mother's eye disease, take care of Lan Yue's pregnancy, and also pay for the daily expenses of the mansion.
Only by selling part of the property can we solve the current urgent problem.
If the two uncles are willing to give money to help, I might consider speaking a few good words for my two brothers in front of His Majesty, so that they can suffer less."
Gu Zeqian glared angrily and said:
"What do you mean?
You want to use those two brothers to threaten us and force us to pay money to fill the deficit of your eldest house.
Haha, you figured it out."
Gu Zecheng frowned, slammed the handle of the chair, and objected strongly:
"I don't agree. This is all the inheritance left by our ancestors. How can I let you sell it at such a low price?
Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Gu family by doing this?
Do you want to become a sinner who is condemned by thousands of people and bear the infamy for the rest of your life?
What's more, you are an official of the imperial court after all, it is impossible for you to live in such a tight situation.
At the very least, compared with us, the filial piety you receive from others is beyond our reach.
Why do you have to cry poor in front of us?
You have to help Rong and Sheng whether you want to or not.
Otherwise, we can only ask the elders of the tribe to come and judge the case."
