Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry
Chapter 140 The Gu family is not a wealthy family
"Who is the nemesis?" Gu Hong's voice sounded behind Gu Ruoxing, scaring her ears.
"Husband, you're back early today?" Wang walked forward with a smile and winked at her daughter.
"I have nothing to do today. Didn't you say before that you wanted to bring some more things for Ruoxing?" Gu Hong said, "I own a few companies with high profits. Bring them to her."
Gu Ruoxing was visibly happy after hearing what her father said. Just as she was about to bow and thank him, she heard her mother say in embarrassment, "But aren't you planning to leave those shops to your son?"
"Then these things, you want to bring more for Ruoxing, but you don't want to bring your own things, so it doesn't make sense to let others accompany you, right?" Gu Hong said helplessly.
"I can't compare with my second brother, and you don't need to compare with my second sister-in-law. The same goes for Ruoxing and Qinghe. Just live your own lives well." Gu Hong knew that Wang had gone to his second brother's courtyard again earlier. Just now, when Gu Ruoxing called someone her nemesis, she must have been referring to Qinghe.
"Ruoxing, you just spoke so arrogantly. This is in your own home, and I thought it was just a quarrel between sisters. But when you get married, you will have committed a great sin of disrespect, and no one can save you." Gu Hong looked at his daughter and spoke with great sorrow, his eyes full of disappointment.
"Husband, as the saying goes, water flows to the low places and people go to the high places. Why don't you know how to make progress?" Wang said unhappily. If her husband hadn't been so incompetent, she wouldn't have been suppressed by others everywhere. It was obvious that her family background was much better than his.
"I have no ability, but I know myself well. I will probably be a small official in this life." Gu Hong said, shook his head, got up and walked out.
My second brother is right. I will suffer the consequences for not taking care of my children's upbringing.
Thinking of this, Gu Hong turned back and said, "Son, you are not a child anymore. Come live with me in the front yard."

Yufu Palace
When Xiao Jingheng arrived, a maid came out and told him that Concubine Li had a headache and asked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to wait for a moment.
In her past life and this life, Concubine Li has never had a headache. She is just showing him the pain.
"Then go in and tell them that I'm short on time. If mother is not feeling well, you don't have to get up. Just lie down." Xiao Jingheng said as he was about to get up and leave.
"Your Highness..." Seeing that he was really about to leave, the maid hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is already changing clothes. I think she will be out by now. I will make you some tea."
As the palace maid brought the tea, Concubine Li came out, still being supported, with her hands on her temples, looking very uncomfortable.
"Your son pays his respects to mother. You are not feeling well and should have a good rest. Why are you asked to go to the Eastern Palace?" Xiao Jingheng said calmly.
"Of course it's about the marriage your father has arranged for you." Concubine Li still held her forehead. "It's been a few days. I get a headache every time I think about it. Your father didn't discuss it with me, and you didn't come to tell your mother either. As your mother, I was the last to know."
"No one else can interfere with the emperor's decision."
"But, I heard that your father didn't assign you a concubine?" Concubine Li asked. In the future, there will only be one woman in the Eastern Palace, and no one can restrain the Crown Princess. This is not good.
"Mother, I've already said that I don't plan to have a concubine. Too many women means too much work. The government affairs of the previous dynasty were already busy enough." Xiao Jingheng said, "Besides, the Prince of Jin has also come to the capital."
His original intention was to remind his mother that there were others eyeing his position as the crown prince, but he didn't expect that his mother would become even more excited when she heard about the Prince of Jin.
"Speaking of Prince Jin, your father has assigned him a concubine. He already has several sons, but you don't even have a woman, let alone a son. The ancestral rule is to have one main wife and two concubines." Concubine Li was anxious and spoke bluntly.
"Besides, the concubine of Prince Jin is the cousin of you, the Crown Princess. This shows that the Gu family is not a wealthy family. And the Ruan family..."
"Mother, stop talking. Don't talk about the concubine anymore, let alone the Ruan family, especially in front of the Crown Princess." Xiao Jingheng said in a cold voice, with a warning in his eyes.
Concubine Li was even more displeased to hear her son say this. Just as Liu Zheng said, after the prince gets married, he will care even less about her as his biological mother.
Now it seems that he not only cares less about her, but even glares at her. He really has forgotten his mother after getting a wife.
"Your Highness, if you don't like to hear it, I won't say it. I'm doing this for your own good. Liu Zheng is your cousin. We've been childhood sweethearts and grew up together. She must be doing this for your own good." Concubine Li was determined to tell her, otherwise there would be no chance after the wedding.
Now when Xiao Jingheng heard the words "childhood sweethearts, growing up together", he thought of Gu Qinghe and Lu Wangzhou, and felt a headache and very uncomfortable in his heart, as if someone was grabbing him.
This is a time that he cannot participate in no matter how many times he is reborn.
"Mother, it's not good to marry your children to relatives like this. My eldest brother married his own cousin from my uncle's family, and he still has no legitimate son." Xiao Jingheng said sternly, "I sometimes even wonder if we should enact laws to strictly forbid this kind of cousin marriage."
Concubine Li naturally did not expect that the prince would say such a thing. She opened her mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
"You, you, go away. You have wasted my kindness and think that I am harming you. Then you will understand your mother's good intentions in the future." Concubine Li waved her hand weakly, and held the palace maid's arm to return to the inner room.
"Mother, you too, I don't want you to inadvertently become an accomplice to the evil and be used as a knife to kill people." After Xiao Jingheng finished speaking, he also stood up and left.
Concubine Li had originally slowed down her pace, waiting for the Crown Prince to say something soft and conciliatory, but she didn't expect him to just say something harsh and leave.
"Look at him, even though he is the emperor, he still knows how to coax people." Concubine Li said angrily.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince is your junior. Besides, you know how the Crown Prince would fool people." The maid hurriedly comforted her, "But I have never heard of such a thing."
Han Desheng had been outside for a long time, listening to the quarrel between the Crown Prince and Concubine Li in the palace. Now following behind the Crown Prince, he didn't even dare to breathe.
Xiao Jingheng did not intend to blame his mother, but she was too easily influenced. From what she said just now, she was speaking from Ruan Liuzheng's perspective. It was obvious that she just listened to her good niece.
He had suspected in several dreams that there was something fishy about Gu Qinghe's miscarriage, but he couldn't find a clue for the time being. In his previous life, Ruan Liuzheng was mostly with his mother in the palace and had little contact with Gu Qinghe.
Gu Qinghe is an expert in managing the harem. What should Ruan Liuzheng do if she wants to attack the queen?
