Quick Wear: The bad female supporting role, the male protagonist prefers

Chapter 114 The Concubine's Daughter Climbing into Bed (6)

The people of Jing Dynasty are open-minded, and there are many women who marry for the second time. In some places, women who marry for the second time and have children are even more popular than young girls.

After all, giving birth to children proves the fertility of a remarried woman.

There are families whose daughters have lost their virginity in the boudoir, but no family would kill their daughters for fear that their daughters would bring shame to the family.

Even Duke Wen, who could be considered from a truly noble family, only sent his daughter, who had lost her virginity a few years ago, to a villa to practice Taoism. Only his Gu family wanted to kill their daughter.

Therefore, Du Shaoyu really looked down on Gu Zongqing, who was willing to kill his daughter for the so-called family honor. Among all the princes and ministers in the court, only Gu Zongqing was so hypocritical.

Seeing Du Shaoyu didn't respond, Gu Zongqing looked at Gu Shutang, who was protected by Prince Jin, and said, "Tang'er, the Gu Mansion is where you were born and raised. Would it be ok for you not to marry in the Gu Mansion?"

Gu Shutang pretended to be a bullied young wife and said weakly, "Your Highness Prince Jin has ordered me to do this, and I dare not disobey."

"Your Highness, this is against etiquette. If you insist on doing this, I'm afraid the Censorate will impeach His Majesty. I hope Your Highness will think twice before acting."

Gu Zongqing touched the ground with his head and kowtowed loudly several times.

"Is Minister Gu threatening me?"

Du Shaoyu was impatient. "If the people in the Censorate knew that the Gu family had committed insubordination and even dared to resort to private punishment on the emperor's relatives, I wonder if Minister Gu would be able to keep his position then?"

Gu Shutang heard Du Shaoyu threatening Gu Zongqing and turned her head with the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Under the cover of Du Shaoyu's wide sleeves, no one could see her expression at the moment.

Gu Zongqing was breathing heavily. Seeing that his eldest daughter was still hiding behind Prince Jin and was unwilling to speak for him as a father, Gu Zongqing felt disappointed and a little panicked.

If the eldest daughter does not marry in the mansion, even if she becomes a princess, can their Gu family still profit from Prince Jin's Yue family?

The Prince of Jin holds military power, is the Queen Mother's youngest son, and the most trusted brother of the current emperor. Being able to become a relative of the Prince of Jin will be of great benefit to his career.

But if the Prince of Jin gets hold of something and complains to the Emperor, or uses his power to frame the Gu family, the Gu family will probably be finished.

"Your Highness, my wife has no intention of offending you. I hope you will calm down. I will leave my eldest daughter to you as you please."

Gu Zongqing weighed the pros and cons and reluctantly gave in. After all, his eldest daughter was still on the Gu family tree, his biological mother was his concubine, and his half-brother was also in the clan school. It was not so easy to completely sever ties with the Gu family.

Du Shaoyu was thinking about which family to send Gu to be a daughter, and was about to take Gu Shutang away.

Gu Shutang hesitated and held Du Shaoyu's hand, "Your Highness, you promised me a request before. I wonder if Your Highness still keeps your word?"

"nature."

Du Shaoyu looked at Gu Shutang's swirling hair, his eyes were deep and he couldn't see the meaning behind it.

"Your Highness, can you help my aunt leave the mansion and no longer be a concubine of the Gu family?"

Although she didn't know why Du Shaoyu was so kind and wanted to help her escape from the Gu family, Gu Shutang still couldn't miss this good opportunity and asked for a chance for Aunt Xu to leave the house.

After all, Gu Zongqing, his wife, and my mother did not treat the concubine and daughter in the mansion as human beings.

In the original plot, Aunt Xu was beaten to death in order to protect her daughter. Aunt Jiang, the heroine's biological mother, was used as a bargaining chip to threaten the heroine, and she would be treated harshly if she did not do what they wanted.

After the heroine had the power to rescue her aunt, Aunt Jiang had become a mere walking corpse, with scars of varying sizes all over her body.

Not to mention that the few girls who were valuable to Gu Zongqing were either given to dignitaries who were older than Gu Zongqing as second wives.

It means marrying a young man from aristocratic family who has an unspeakable hidden illness or special hobby.

Even the two daughters born to Mrs. Gu escaped the marriage that Gu Zongqing arranged for her with the son of the elder who was interested in having an affair with someone else.

She could not escape the fact that she trusted her mother, who pushed her into the den of tigers and wolves at her maternal grandfather's house, married her to her incompetent cousin, favored her concubine over her wife, and locked her up in a side yard.

Later, after the heroine Gu Shuye ascended to a high position, she was unable to do anything to the Gu family. The reason was that the girls in the Gu family all grew up under the care of their biological mothers, who treated them well and naturally had a mother-daughter relationship.

The Gu family threatened her with her biological mother, and her biological mother was influenced by Gu Zongqing and did not dare to leave the Gu Mansion and get rid of her status as the concubine of the Gu family.

The people they care about are in the hands of the Gu family, so naturally they are cautious about what they do.

If Gu Shuye had not accidentally seen the scars on his mother's body and made up his mind to destroy the Gu family and take her out regardless of his mother's thoughts, the Gu family would probably have used Aunt Jiang to threaten Gu Shuye for the rest of his life.

"can."

Du Shaoyu nodded, brushed away Gu Shutang's hand, and asked Gu Zongqing for Aunt Xu's indenture and the letter of release from concubinehood.

Gu Zongqing was extremely reluctant, but when he saw the obvious threat in Du Shaoyu's eyes, he reluctantly asked the housekeeper to get pen and ink.

When the housekeeper got the pen and ink, Mrs. Gu spoke again unwillingly. Mrs. Gu behind her had learned her lesson once and did not try to step forward. She stood aside with Gu Shulan at a distance.

"Wait a minute, Your Highness. Since Xu is the concubine of the Gu family, there is no reason for her to leave the house. I do not agree to release my concubine."

"Does His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin intend to rely on his royal bloodline to dictate to the family affairs of his subjects? There is no such thing in the world!"

Old Mrs. Gu tapped the cane in her hand, and Gu Shutang, who already looked down on her, found her even more hateful.

This treacherous person forgets the family that gave birth to her and raised her once she is favored by a noble person.

"Gu is my wife before I marry her. Even my brother the Emperor won't blame me for standing up for her."

Old Madam Gu felt as if she had been struck with a hammer, but she remained stiff-necked and said, "If Your Highness insists on marrying my eldest granddaughter off to another family, then she will no longer be my granddaughter, and her name will no longer be in the family tree."

Old Madam Gu took out the heaviest punishment for Gu Shutang. In this dynasty, without the protection of the family, it was difficult to move forward and everyone could bully him.

Even if Gu Shutang takes the position of princess, there will always be people who want to get a piece of the pie and pull her down.

A man's favor is but fleeting sand, which disappears in the wind. Old Madam Gu does not believe that Du Shaoyu will love her granddaughter for the rest of her life, nor does she believe that without the protection of Prince Jin and without a family to rely on, Gu Shutang can stay in the position of Princess Jin for the rest of her life.

"Since she's not in the family tree and isn't my granddaughter, I don't need to cover up for the big mistake she made."

The illegitimate daughters of the Gu family were not as panicked as Old Lady Gu had imagined, and some even felt a sense of relief.

They huddled aside as an inconspicuous foil, completely lacking the eagerness they had to plead for Gu Shutang, and ignored the look in Old Lady Gu's eyes that signaled them to speak up.
