Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 86 Can You Still Marry the Jade Emperor?

He didn't know whether others had seen it, but he should be able to see it, and of course the prince could also feast his eyes on it.

"Really? Your Highness, don't you believe it? There are women who are not moved by gold, silver, and jewelry. They only want a sincere heart from this man." Xiao Yifei sighed, "In fact, sincerity is hard to find. People's hearts are fickle. They are not as real as gold and silver."

"You——" Xiao Jingheng shook his head.

Besides, Lu Wangzhou returned to his own house, but he was still thinking about Gu Qinghe and wondered how she was doing.

"Sir, I just heard Mrs. Wang, who was buying vegetables, talking. She also met a servant from the Gu Mansion. She said that the girl from the third branch of the Gu family was punished by the old lady of the Gu family to copy the Women's Instructions a thousand times. The third girl should be fine." Yuanxiao said with a smile.

Lu Wangzhou heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, "I understand."

"Sir, tomorrow is Chinese Valentine's Day. Please take me out for a look. Maybe you can run into the third young lady." Yuanxiao said again.

"Don't say such things casually, it will ruin the girl's reputation." Lu Wangzhou knocked on Yuanxiao's head, but there was expectation in his eyes.

"Yes, I will pay attention to it next time."

Gu Ruoxing returned to her room, and Qiulian, a maid from the old lady's room, followed her outside to check the punishment writing and to prevent the second girl from getting into trouble again.

Wang sat on the small couch in the room, looking at Gu Ruoxing across from her. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she felt pity in her heart, "Ruoxing, why did you say that about Gu Qinghe?"

Even if the slander of a sister gets out, it will be a lose-lose situation. Besides, the one who is slandered can complain, but the one who speaks rudely is unforgivable.

Not to mention the aristocratic families, even ordinary scholars would not marry such a woman.

"I just can't help but be angry. Why does he get all the good things? The new number one scholar likes her, and the wife of the Jinyiwei envoy lives just two streets away from our Gu family, but we have never crossed paths. Yet, she just happened to strike up a conversation at the Lu Mansion and ended up visiting my second aunt. And, and..."

In the end, Gu Ruoxing did not mention the prince's name. She was afraid to say it out loud, as if if she said it, it would come true and she would completely give up the idea.

"Who else?" Wang asked, and a vague idea appeared in her mind. She unconsciously grabbed her daughter's hand tightly.

"There's no one else. Aren't these two enough?" Gu Ruoxing said unhappily.

"That's what mother thinks. That girl is just a little outstanding in appearance, but there's nothing else to note. Being the mistress of the house, just being pretty isn't enough." Wang Shi first tried to comfort her daughter. "Having said that, you did do something wrong today. You and she both have the surname Gu, so if one of you is not good, both of you will be bad. In the future, you can't just hope that she is bad, but hope that you are better than her."

Gu Ruoxing seemed to be thinking about something. "Mom, you're right. I see that the second uncle doesn't want to find a good family for his daughter. Second uncle only wants to find her a son-in-law that he can control."

"That's the right thing to think. Otherwise, why was your second aunt so kind to Lu Wangzhou before? It's because he has no roots in the capital." Wang agreed.

"I must marry someone who is better than Gu Qinghe, only then will I feel relieved." Gu Ruoxing leaned in Wang's arms and said with determination. Wang also stroked her daughter's hair.

"What? If your third sister enters the palace, you will still marry the Jade Emperor? After all, that way you can suppress your third sister." With a "bang", the tightly closed door was kicked open, and Master Gu San walked in angrily, holding a ruler in his hand.

Gu Hong felt very aggrieved. He had just returned from an outing and before he even reached his own yard, he was called away by the servant of his second brother. He was still wondering what good job would be given to him, but as soon as he entered the door, he was scolded.

The second brother was a scholar, and his words didn't contain a single dirty word, but he just couldn't swallow them and felt uncomfortable, so when Gu Ruoxing and Wang continued to speak wildly, it was just like a fuss over him.

"Father..." Gu Ruoxing stood up quickly in fear and bowed to Gu Hongfu.

"No need to bow to me. You have no respect for your elders. You have been implying that your second uncle and his wife can't educate their daughter. You have damaged the reputation of your sisters. This is against the family rules. Kneel down and stretch out your hands." Gu Hong shouted.

"Husband, you must have heard it from someone else and misunderstood." Wang stood in front of her daughter, trying to calm the furious Gu Hong.

"My second brother, the second place winner chosen by the late emperor and a high-ranking official, can't even explain this clearly. I'm afraid there are things that my second brother can't bear to say out loud." Gu Hong's forehead veins were exposed. "And you, is this how you teach your daughter every day at home?"

Seeing her mother being scolded by her father, Gu Ruoxing felt sorry for her. She knelt down and took a few steps forward, holding out her palm. "Father, please punish me. I was wrong."

Gu Hong was not vague either. He slapped Gu Ruoxing's hands ten times one by one. The palms of her hands turned red instantly. After Gu Hong finished beating her, his brows were furrowed and he looked reluctant. But he remembered what his second brother said. If Ruoxing didn't control her mouth, it was Qinghe who covered her mouth today, and who knows who would cover her mouth in the future.

If you manage, manage thoroughly and punish appropriately.

Wang threw herself on the ground, held her daughter's hand, blew gently on it, and then shouted outside, "Go get the medicine quickly."

"You should pay more attention in the future. If you can't teach your daughter well, send her to the mother's home. Look at the daughter you taught. Her ambition is as high as the sky, but as small as a needle eye. She has high expectations but poor skills." After Gu Hong finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

Gu Ruoxing only blamed Gu Qinghe for today's suffering.

The Chinese Valentine's Day arrived as scheduled. After having dinner early, Gu Yueru went out with Gu Qinghe, a rare occasion. Gu Ruoxing had not finished writing the female training that her grandmother had punished her with because of her hand problems.

"Qinghe, are you okay?" Gu Yueru thought about it again and again and decided to ask. She was also there yesterday, but she didn't know how to comfort her third sister.

"Big sister, I'm fine, otherwise I would be feeling sorry for myself in seclusion." Gu Qinghe waved her hands and smiled. She had heard a lot of unpleasant words, so Gu Ruoxing's ability must be extraordinary.

She just can't stand anyone slandering her parents, otherwise she wouldn't waste her energy.

"That's good." Gu Yueru lifted a corner of the carriage curtain and looked out with a nostalgic look, sighing, "I probably won't be able to get out next year."

"Let your brother-in-law accompany you next year." Gu Qinghe said with a smile.

"I can see that you are really fine. You still have the mind to joke with me."

"Girl, we're here. Get off the car quickly. It's so lively here." Yingchun's voice sounded outside the car.

When Gu Qinghe got off the carriage, the first thing that caught his eye was a veiled hat. It seemed that everyone wanted to join in the fun.

Lu Wangzhou was writing poems with his classmates in a roadside teahouse. Before it was his turn, he saw Yuanxiao waving at him from the railing, as if he had some good news to share with him.
