Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Gu Qinghe was sleeping peacefully, while Gu Ruoxing was extremely hungry and thirsty, and was still punished by the old lady to kneel in the hall.

"Ruoxing, do you know you are wrong?" Old Mrs. Gu's eyes were wide open and her tone was unfriendly.

Gu Ruoxing glanced at her mother Wang who was standing beside her. She didn't say anything, but just lowered her head and sobbed softly, looking extremely aggrieved.

"Mother, Ruoxing used to go out and play on Chinese Valentine's Day every year. But today, her third sister is back, but she only went out with her eldest sister. If people knew about this, wouldn't they think too much?" Wang said pitifully, but her eyes were full of dissatisfaction. Since Li and Bai didn't come, then it was up to her to say...

"When the rumors of discord between the sisters spread, not only would it be difficult for Yueru to stay in the Lu family, but even Ruoxing and Qinghe's marriages would be in jeopardy. Then the eldest and second sisters-in-law would definitely be furious, wouldn't you agree?"

Wang glanced at the old lady as she spoke. The latter showed no reaction, so she smiled and said, "It's all very well that the second sister-in-law doesn't quite understand these things, but why is the eldest sister-in-law also confused?"

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Gu didn't even raise her eyelids as she said in a deep voice, "Third House, you've always been so proud of being from a family of scholars, but can't you even see clearly what's going on? As soon as you open your mouth, you just keep complaining about your daughter, without asking about the cause and effect?"

Wang's heart tightened as she listened to the old lady's words. What did the old lady mean? Was she also dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law? And she said it openly.

"Mother, you have always taught your daughter-in-law to be humble. How dare you be so arrogant?"

"You don't have to play dumb. I've lived this long and seen more people than you, so I can tell what you're thinking. Ruoxing crawled out through a dog hole today, is that something a girl from a wealthy family would do? In my opinion, even if word gets out that there's a feud between the sisters, it's hard to say who's to blame, but she lost her manners and went through a dog hole, which is a laughing stock!"

Seeing Wang was about to open her mouth to defend herself, Mrs. Gu raised her hand to interrupt, "You should also go back and read the Four Books for Women."

Wang was stunned when she heard this. For a girl from a prominent family, her mother-in-law's order to reread the Four Books for Women was the biggest denial of her. "Mother, you..."

"I told you differently, you are not as good as your eldest sister-in-law or your second sister-in-law in educating our daughter."

For Wang, who had always looked down on the merchant's daughter Bai, her mother-in-law's words that she was not as good as Bai in raising her daughter were another heavy blow.

She thought that Bai must have secretly given the old lady some money as a bribe, otherwise how could there be such a big change?

Wang was too weak to argue any further. She glanced at her daughter, who was kneeling on the ground, weeping with her head bowed, and bowed to the old lady. "Then your daughter-in-law will take her leave."

Old Mrs. Gu said "hmm" lightly, waved her hand, and didn't look back at her.

"Ruoxing, I'm tired too. Go back and reflect on your mistakes, then write it down and hand it to me. Otherwise, you can't leave your own courtyard until the marriage is settled." said Old Mrs. Gu.

Seeing that her mother was being scolded by her grandmother, Gu Ruoxing dared not argue anymore and responded, "Yes, granddaughter will follow your grandmother's instructions."

"Alright, that's what you said last time you were punished," said Old Madam Gu calmly. "I'll tell you again, let your father arrange your marriage. Although he's a little confused at times, he's not one to be careless when it comes to his children's marriages."

"Yes."

"Second Miss, please return the invitation now. The old lady is tired too." Mother Liu came over, gave Gu Ruoxing a light support, and sent her out the door.

Gu Ruoxing went out and saw Xing'er kneeling at the door. She pushed her angrily. This damn girl couldn't even pretend to be asleep. She was so stupid.

Xing'er was already crying uncontrollably out of fear, and said timidly, "Miss, I really didn't expect Sister Qiulian to suddenly come in and check what you copied..."

"Let's go! Why are you crying and yelling? Are you afraid that no one knows how I left the house?" Gu Ruoxing shouted, and returned to her courtyard angrily without going to talk to Wang.

Gu Ruoxing thought that her ordeal today was over, but unexpectedly it had just begun. She had just returned to her room and sat down when Xing'er came again and said that the third master had arrived.

Gu Ruoxing was stunned. Father had returned home? Was he coming here to call for punishment again?

"Gu Ruoxing, get out here!" Gu Hong's voice reached her before she even arrived. Gu Ruoxing secretly thought this was not good and winked at Xing'er, "Go find mother."

When she came outside, her father was already sitting in the main seat, looking very angry.

"My daughter pays her respects to my father. It's so late, you can send someone to call me to the main courtyard to talk, so that you don't have to work hard." Gu Ruoxing said with a smile.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you, but her father doesn't believe that.

"Kneel down!" Gu Hong shouted, "You going over there? Through the dog hole?"

Without waiting for Gu Ruoxing to reply, Gu Hong continued, "I've really been enlightened. You call yourself a daughter of the capital, yet secretly look down on your third sister. I just thought you were just a little girl, feeling aggrieved by the sight of a new beautiful sister. I didn't expect you to have such thoughts, actually dragging your third sister along with that Lin Fan? If it were you, would you be willing to marry Lin Fan? If so, I'll ask your second uncle to come and propose marriage."

Gu Ruoxing felt wronged when she heard her father say this. Tears as big as beans began to flow like a broken string. "Father, you can't say this about your daughter. I am your biological daughter."

"If they're not my biological children, I don't even bother to care. I'll just watch them make fun of me." Gu Hong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I've already chosen your marriage. It's this year's Jinshi, Feng Bao. Once your eldest sister's marriage is settled, I'll arrange for you two to meet. So, just be quiet for the time being."

As he spoke, hurried footsteps were heard outside. Gu Hong looked up and saw that it was Wang. "You don't need to ask your mother for help. She can't make the decision for you."

Wang even wanted to find a good in-law for her daughter so that her in-laws could help her son's future. However, he was too lazy to tell his daughter about this because she also agreed with Wang's idea and wanted to marry into a wealthy family.

However, Gu Hong knew very well in his heart that whether a man in a family has a promising future depends on his own efforts and the support of his family. He believed that a daughter who is married off is like water spilled. If his daughter can get along well in her husband's family, it is good enough. If she wants anything else, that is really wishful thinking.

Without waiting for Wang to come in and say anything, Gu Hong left with a sentence, "Just stay here and be at ease," and strode away.

"Mother, father just said that he has picked a Jinshi candidate for me this year, named Feng Bao, but I haven't heard of any Feng family in the capital that has produced a Jinshi candidate?" Gu Ruoxing saw his mother, grabbed her hand, and asked anxiously.
