Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Wang naturally did not dare to disobey the old lady. After all, she was her elder, and she was asking her to do something for her.

After reading for nearly half an hour, Wang's legs and feet became numb. She looked again and saw that the old lady was holding Liu Mama's hand and preparing to get up.

Wang supported herself on the floor with one hand and her knee with the other, and stood up.

"Tell me, what's the matter today?" the old lady asked with half-closed eyes.

"Mother, the main reason why I came here today is to chat with you. My eldest and second sisters-in-law are busy receiving guests. I was afraid that it would be lonely here, so I hurried over." Wang said with a smile.

Mother Liu stood beside Old Lady Gu and listened. It seemed that the Third Lady's habit of sowing discord was impossible to change. She said in words and deeds that all the guests had gone to the first and second rooms, and no one came to visit the old lady, deliberately creating conflicts between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.

However, this time, not only the second wife, but also the first wife was dragged into it.

"I'm old and don't have the energy for socializing. Besides, the people who come to visit lately aren't all from my daughter-in-law's generation. Older people rarely go out anymore," the old lady said slowly. "You should be the ones receiving them. But you, instead of socializing, come to me. You're putting the cart before the horse."

In the past two days, what the second son said and what Liu's mother said made the old lady think. She should change her strategy and gradually delegate power. When there is nothing to do, she will not care about anything.

When something happens at home and the third child is really in trouble, she will speak up, and that will carry more weight than the old talk now.

Now, to put it bluntly, Wang is the one who is nagging about Gu Ruoxing. She won't ignore it, but she will bring it up again when Qinghe gets married.

If you talk too much, it will only annoy people.

"Mother, I'm just worried about you." Wang argued cunningly.

"I'm fine. You can go back and do what you need to do. I know everything about your third room." The old lady sighed.

"Mother..." Wang was unwilling to give up and seemed to be unable to hold back.

"Go back! I've been thinking about this for the past two days. I'm so confused. If Ruoxing enters Prince Jin's mansion, how will Qinghe take care of her?" Old Madam Gu asked, "Did she ask the Crown Prince to write a letter to Prince Jin, asking the Emperor to show mercy to Concubine Gu?"

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was that Qinghe is the Crown Princess, so her words carry weight. I should just give Princess Jin a warning and ask her to treat Ruoxing better."

That's all? It sounds simple enough.

The more Mrs. Gu listened, the angrier she became. "The women in the backyard are treated poorly. Ultimately, it's because I'm not favored. Just look at the concubines in the previous dynasty. Some of them lived as well as the empress. Don't you understand?"

After she finished speaking, she sighed deeply. Wang and Ruoxing were too concerned.

"You go back. I will handle this matter myself. Don't argue with your second sister-in-law anymore. You have to act like a beggar when asking for help." Old Mrs. Gu waved her hand, and Wang bowed unwillingly and retreated.

Mother Liu looked at this scene and felt relieved. No matter what the old lady thought, she was no longer thinking only about the third room.

As an elderly person, it is not easy to keep things fair, but you can't just throw it on one side either.

Before the Chinese New Year, I look forward to it every day, but after the first day, the days seem to run and pass by very quickly.

In the blink of an eye, the sixth day of the first lunar month had passed, and there were only two months left before Gu Qinghe married into the Eastern Palace.

Bai lamented the passing of time every day, and before he could sigh a few times, the Lantern Festival was here.

"Madam, today is the Lantern Festival and there is a lantern festival on the street. Let's take the children out for a walk." Gu An said behind Bai while holding Gu Feng.

"Can Qinghe go out?" Bai asked hesitantly. These noble families in the capital have very strict rules, and they don't want any unpleasant news to get out.

"Her father can't even take her out?" Gu An raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'll report anyone who gossips."

"Okay, I've benefited from the influence of an official, and I'm using public power for personal gain." Bai said with a smile, "Then I'll have Wang Da feed the horses and we'll go out tonight."

Just as the voice fell, Gu Qinghe had just walked to the door and heard his mother say to feed the horse. He smiled and said, "Yes, our horse is too picky and can't eat grass and grain outside."

"That's right. I don't know where your father got such a pampered horse." Bai said with a smile.

"Mother, are you going out?" Gu Qinghe only heard the second half.

"Your father wants to take us out for a night outing during the Lantern Festival."

Gu An also nodded and said, "After dinner, let's go out."

"Thank you, father. Can you bring my brother with you as well?" Gu Qinghe said, pointing at Gu Feng.

"Bring it with you. Let's go as a family."

As night fell, the entire Gu family gathered together for a reunion dinner. Throughout the dinner, it was Mrs. Li who was talking to liven up the atmosphere, while Mrs. Wang was sullenly picking at the rice in her bowl.

"Second brother's wife, I just asked Qinghe if she wanted to chat with you around the fire. She said that you and second brother should take the two children to the Lantern Festival, right?" Li asked with a smile.

"Yes, we haven't been back for many years, and he plans to take us out to see the world." Bai smiled and said, "Besides, when Qinghe left Beijing, he was like a little carrot head, and he wanted to relive it."

When Mrs. Gu heard what Mrs. Bai said, she seemed to hear what Mrs. Liu said before. It was not easy for the Second Master. The good life of the Second House family today was all earned by the Second Master's hard work...

Looking at Qinghe again, she also felt a little guilty.

Look at Wang again, she's pouting again...

"Go ahead. Today is a holiday, a good day. Nothing is forbidden." Mrs. Gu came back to her senses, smiled and waved her hand, "If any of you still want to go, go ahead. I'm tired, so I'll just go and rest later."

Upon hearing this, Li called out Gu Yun's name, "Gu Yun, you should go out and take a look too."

"Thank you, mother." Gu Yun said, and a blush appeared on his cheeks. Gu Qinghe understood that on the Lantern Festival, unmarried men and women could meet openly.

Recently, the eldest wife arranged a marriage for Gu Yun, and it went very smoothly, but his fiancée was not from the same family as in his previous life.

In his previous life, Gu Yun married the youngest daughter of a sixth-rank official within two months of his second wife returning to Beijing. This time, after a year's delay, the target became the granddaughter of the Minister of War.

Why was it delayed?

"Gu Yun, your mother is right. We should give the girl a lantern." Old Mrs. Gu's smile was much more genuine at this moment.

Forget it, the key is probably in the hands of the old lady. She is used to arranging these things. If I really ask my parents to find a scholar from an ordinary family, there will probably be more quarrels.

Gu Yun's face turned even redder when he heard this. Gu An patted his shoulder and walked out together. "Let's go out together. It's legitimate and proper to like the person who is going to be your wife. Why are you blushing?"

It would have been fine if Gu An hadn't said anything. As soon as he said this, Gu Yun's face turned even redder. "Second Uncle, stop talking."
