Shocked! The salty concubine was spoiled by the cold prince

Gu Jiaorong naturally chose the yard without hesitation.

It was already depressing enough for her to hide in this small courtyard to avoid disaster. If she couldn't even leave the room, she would really have no happiness at all.

Yue Yan could probably guess what she was thinking, so she smiled and went to make arrangements.

The meal was quite peaceful, but after it was over, a servant came to report that her parents had arrived.

Gu Jiaorong couldn't help but frown. The book didn't mention her parents.

But this is normal. No author would spend a lot of space to describe the background of a cannon fodder character.

But based on her many years of experience in reading literature, the sudden visit of this couple of parents was obviously not simple.

Perhaps her guess was a bit malicious, but it was very likely that Gu Jiaorong had a brother.

"Since they are already here, let them come."

Gu Jiaorong was in a bad mood. She raised her eyelids and said with a smile on her face.

Let her see what good fart this couple of parents can come up with.

"Yes."

Fanglan responded and went over to lead the person.

Soon the person was brought over. The couple did not speak immediately, but instead looked around Gu Jiaorong's yard carefully, as if they were assessing how much silver they could get from their daughter.

Gu Jiaorong didn't say anything either, just waiting for them to speak.

However, although she did not speak, she observed her biological parents.

Gu's mother had a bitter face, high cheekbones, and a shrewd look in her eyes; she looked like someone who was not easy to handle. And his father had a shifty look in his eyes, not the impression of an honest man.

She snorted, feeling a little surprised.

How could such a couple give birth to someone like Gu Jiaorong?

Gu's mother also noticed Gu Jiaorong's reaction and spoke immediately.

"Sister Rong, I heard that you have become a noble in the palace. Your father and I came to see you specially."

Mother Gu pulled her husband's sleeve, indicating that he agreed with what she said.

Father Gu nodded naturally, he still remembered the purpose of his visit.

"Yes, yes, your mother is right. We came specially to see you."

As he spoke, he pushed his snakeskin bag forward.

"These are fresh vegetables that your mother and I brought specially for you. We don't have anything good at home, as you know. These are the ones your mother and I picked from the fields early in the morning. We wanted you to eat something fresh."

Father Gu had a flattering look on his face. He knew that his daughter was no longer the same as before, and even if a little money slipped through her fingers, it would make them rich.

Gu Jiaorong never spoke. She did not inherit the original owner's memory. It was as if before she came, the original owner was really just a paper man without emotions.

"Sister Rong, why are you ignoring me? Are you angry with me?"

Mother Gu tugged at the corner of her clothes, her tone nervous.

"Mother knows that I wronged you in the past, but you also know that our family is not as good as others. Besides, if I hadn't sent you to the palace since you were young, you wouldn't have been able to live such a good life."

When Mother Gu said the last sentence, she seemed to have gained some confidence.

She seemed to really think that Gu Jiaorong could live such a good life all because of her.

But she didn't know that in the book, when Gu Jiaorong died, she once thought that if she had not been sold into the mansion, she would not have reached that point and become a pawn in Xie Wanning's hands.

She was not a very clever girl, and could be coaxed into submission by others with a few words.

What's more, the people opposite her are her biological parents.

I'm afraid this blood-sucking couple asked her for a lot of money, which is why she has little savings.

In the book, she became arrogant and domineering once she gained power, which was probably because of her parents.

The original owner, Gu Jiaorong, was indeed grateful for Xie Wanning's support, but she also knew that a small concubine was not enough to support her greedy parents and their family, so she needed to climb higher.

Shen Zhaohua, her true love, is her stumbling block.

If she was lucky enough to defeat Shen Zhaohua, her desire would push her to the opposite side of Xie Wanning.

Gu Jiaorong is not the original owner, so naturally she would not risk her life for this pair of vampire parents.

"What happened in the past is all in the past. I am doing well in the palace now, so you don't have to feel guilty anymore."

Gu Jiaorong gave a fake smile. She knew that the couple didn't mean that, but she was unwilling to follow their arrangements.

She is not a walking ATM, so why should she take whatever the other party says as the final word?

"It's good to live well, it's good to live well."

Mother Gu repeated the words mechanically, then rubbed her hands, a trace of embarrassment flashing across her bitter face.

"Sister Rong, we came here just to see you."

She seemed to know that her past mistreatment and exploitation of her daughter was wrong, but she was unwilling to let her daughter off. Therefore, even though she was just saying this, there was still some greed in her eyes.

Her father, in particular, seemed very dissatisfied with his wife's reaction.

"Sister Rong, your mother and I are here for another reason. Your eldest brother has already found a family and will be getting married in a few days, but his parents want the wedding to be more respectable..."

What Mr. Gu didn't finish was that he hoped his daughter could pay more money.

Gu Jiaorong naturally understood, but she was not the original owner and was not used to being a sucker.

"If father wants to be respectable, he shouldn't come to see me now. Instead, he should take care of my eldest brother's marriage."

Gu Jiaorong spoke with a smile, without mentioning the money at all.

After all, it was the Gu family's son who was getting married, not her son.

When Mr. Gu heard this, he knew that Gu Jiaorong didn't want to give the money.

"Rong'er, that's true, but you know our family's situation. I'm afraid we can't afford that much money. Logically, your mother and I shouldn't ask for this, but you've become a noble now. Even if a little slips through your fingers, it's more than the hard-earned money your mother and I have earned. Can you please give some money to your parents first, even if your mother and I borrow it?"

If you talk about borrowing, I'm afraid you won't get it back.

What's more, if Gu Jiaorong really asked them to return the money, they would probably accuse Gu Jiaorong of being unfilial.

"Dad and Mom, what are you talking about? I'm not a toad that spits out gold coins, so how can I possibly have money for you? Besides, Dad and Mom have already borrowed money from me once before. Isn't that enough money for my eldest brother to get married?"

Gu Jiaorong sneered and said that the original owner didn't leave any money, so it turned out that he had used it all to support his family.

The monthly salary from the palace may not seem like much, but if it were given to a poor family, the Gu family would not be living so poorly.

It's really hard for her good parents to still open their mouths.

Mr. Gu didn't expect that his daughter, who had always been considerate and obedient, would say such a thing, and his face suddenly showed some embarrassment.

"Sister Rong, you're in the palace, so naturally you don't know what's going on down there. Everything costs money these days, and what you gave me is not enough!"

Gu's father deceived Gu Jiaorong as soon as he opened his mouth, and he didn't feel guilty at all.
