Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 1585

Gu Ruzhu was lectured by her mother. The upbringing and sense of shame engraved in her bones made her speechless. Her face was so hot that she said, "Mother..."

She thought about how much her mother had paid for her divorce and how much blame her mother had to bear from the Gu family to bring her back from her husband's home.

At that time, she was covered in wounds and almost died at the hands of her ex-husband. She thought she had no chance to survive, but her mother gave her a chance to live again, like a god descending from heaven.

Madam Gu was very angry. "I am making this clear today. No matter if it is Lord Jian'an or Prince Consort Haiyan, you are not allowed to even think about becoming a concubine."

She thought about it and analyzed it, "It's the Marquis of Jian'an! This dynasty does not allow the prince consort to take concubines, so you chose the Marquis of Jian'an. He is young and promising, and he only has a principal wife, and the back house is empty... Oh, I didn't know that my daughter's abacus beads were about to fall on his face."

Gu Ruzhu lowered her head even more, opened her mouth to say something in defense, but found it difficult to speak.

This was the first time that Madam Gu spoke so harshly after her daughter came home after the divorce. "You are my daughter, and I know what you are up to even if you turn your eyes. The other person is a rare talent, one in a million, and you are happy about it, but that is all your own business behind closed doors. But if you have inexplicable thoughts and do everything you can to get close to him, that is mean. Do you remember?"

Gu Ruzhu was scolded so much that her face turned red.

Nothing escapes the mother's eyes.

My mother guessed every one of them correctly.

She did not want to make the relationship between the two parties more complicated because of her secret love at first sight. If her mother married Master Shi, she and Lord Jian'an would become siblings, and it would never be possible.

Gu Ruzhu bowed her head and knelt down, "Don't be angry, mother. It was my daughter who was thinking the wrong thing."

In the past, Mrs. Gu would feel distressed when her daughter knelt down. But today, she hardened her heart, "Think about it, why did you divorce and go home? Isn't it because your husband sent people to the backyard every few days to make you unhappy? He also beat you indiscriminately because of the concubine, but why do you want to be a concubine for others?"

Gu Ruzhu whispered, "Mother, do you think that with my current status, I can still marry into someone's family and become their first wife?"

"So what if you don't want to get married? My Gu family can support you!" Madam Gu frowned. "If you wanted to be a concubine, I shouldn't have let you go home in the first place. Go back and rest, confine yourself to self-reflection for a month, and if you can figure it out, take the merchant ship to Chang'an County next month. If you can't figure it out, I will send you back to Ganzhou and let you fend for yourself. Don't lead your brothers and sisters astray!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ruzhu's eyes turned red. She kowtowed to her mother and walked out of the room with tears in her eyes.

The old nanny standing outside the house came in to help Madam Gu wash and dress, and couldn't help but say, "Master Shi's son is indeed one in a million, no wonder the young lady fell in love with him at first sight. If the young lady..."

Madam Gu raised her eyes and glanced at the old nanny. "You watched Zhu'er grow up. I understand that you love her. But our Gu family must never do such an ungrateful thing."

The old nanny sighed, "Master Shi originally had many concubines, and his son will have to take concubines sooner or later. Our eldest lady also has this wish, right?"

Madam Gu angrily threw the pearl hairpin on her head onto the dressing table. "Not to mention that the Marquis has a clear mind and is not a womanizer. He also loves his wife and it is impossible for him to take a concubine. Even if he wants to take a concubine, it must not be from my Gu family."

The old lady was surprised, "Why?"

"Why?" Madam Gu said in a loud voice, "I have worked so hard to earn such a large fortune, not for my daughter to be anyone's concubine! It doesn't matter if she divorces and goes home, I can support her, but she can't be anyone's concubine! Especially not the Marquis' concubine!"

The Marquis' wife looked soft-hearted, but she was a powerful character. She was also the kind of person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. If anyone knew that her daughter Gu Ruzhu had such thoughts, they would never have any contact with her again. This was one of the reasons.

Secondly, the couple was young and in love, exchanging glances while strolling in the garden. The marquis's eyes almost never left his wife, and anyone who approached such a man would only bring disgrace upon himself.

Although her Gu family was a merchant family, they also educated their children according to propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame.

The old nanny was even more puzzled. After thinking about it, she still didn't ask.
