Coming Kingly Son-in-Law: Don't Provoke the First Daughter - Chapter 169

Chapter 169 A Mature Woman

Gu Zhiying’s expression was faint, and Ye turned her head to look at her own daughter who seemed to have changed somewhat, just where the change was she really wasn’t sure.

Shen Zhongbai’s eyes flowed and swept over the body of Gu Qiang, who did not look at him.

“After the court ladies come back this time, are they going to think about their lifelong matters?” Shen Zhongbai then asked with his teacup.

Court Lady Gu turned her head, seemingly impatient, this Shen Zhongbai hinted at something when she came back, and as for what the hint was she was actually clear.

“Lifelong matters this kind of thing, is this county princess own thing, bother your highness to remember, but your highness, court ladies remember you are plus my sister two women, these two women are not enough for you to take care of, to want to manage court ladies’ lifelong matters?” Gu Qiangcheng asked.

The surrounding people all turned their heads to look at Gu Qiang, such words could only be said by Gu Qiang, the rest of the people who dared to be so disrespectful in front of Shen Zhongbai, after all, he was the future emperor, it was the nail in the coffin.

“What are you talking about, Court Lady? Why don’t you hurry up and apologize to His Highness?” Gu Zhizhang then said, and Court Lady Gu seemed to have just reacted, so she turned her head and smiled at Shen Zhongbai and said, “I’m really sorry ah, what Court Lady said should have made Your Highness feel very uncomfortable, right? But what the court lady is saying is that just these simple words can make you unhappy, then those decisions you made, shouldn’t you feel comfortable with the court lady, right?”

After Court Lady Gu finished speaking, she turned her head sharply to look at Prime Minister Gu and said to him, “Do you know what day today is?”

Is today a day? Gu Zhizhang then turned his head to look at Ye, seemingly hoping that Ye could give himself a hint, Ye thought carefully, and then instantly became nervous, his face turning very ugly.

Today was indeed a day. It shouldn’t be forgotten, it should be very important for Court Lady Gu Huai’an, but it is very joyous for Ye. There are times when the happiness that many can find is the death of others.

“It looks like father doesn’t remember, so let the female court officials remind me that today is the anniversary of mother’s death, if father has time in the evening, would you like to go with the female court officials to meet mother?” Court Lady Gu then said.

Ye’s froze, seems to be a little strange, so many years, in the face of Jiang Rou’s anniversary of the day, in fact, is all no attitude, because Jiang Rou is indeed has passed away for so many years, and even Ye’s feel that Gu Qiangcheng should be unaware of it.

But now that Court Lady Gu suddenly said this in front of so many people. It made Gu Zhizhang very embarrassed.

“What are you doing mentioning that dead man?” Gu Zhizhang’s face instantly changed, as if he had mentioned something that upset him.

Court Lady Gu’s eyes narrowed: “Dead? Father has such an attitude towards his mother who is already dead, this makes the court ladies chilled, it always seems that father is a bit desperate, but you have heard it, First Lady, father has such an attitude towards the women who share the same bed, if he knows …… that he is betraying… …”

Betrayal? No one knew about that matter, except for Court Lady Gu, which was why Ye had to make sure that Court Lady Gu lost her memory. That matter couldn’t be spread, and if she intentionally tried to spread it, there would only be one result: death.

Now that Court Lady Gu had brought up this matter all at once, it made Ye nervous, always feeling as if she had remembered something, but that amnesia medicine was impossible to be cured.

Before Court Lady Gu could finish her words, she heard Listening Wind walk up and say to Court Lady Gu, “Miss, you still need to go and offer incense to the Lady, so don’t miss the hour.”

After saying this, Listening to the wind left in a hurry, then the rest of the words were not spoken, Gu Zhizhang waited with bated breath for Court Lady Gu to make her words clear, but Court Lady Gu didn’t, she just turned her head and said with a smile, “Everyone enjoy yourselves slowly. The female court officials still have things to do, so I won’t accompany you, but ……”

When she said this, she turned her head to look at Gu Zhizhang, changing to her own very bland expression from before, and said in a very sincere tone, “Father, will mother miss you a lot?”

With that said, he followed suit and hurried away.

Gu Zhizhang sat down on the chair, sweat instantly coming down, just feeling very uncomfortable, knowing full well that Court Lady Gu was doing this on purpose. Yet, he still couldn’t accept that Court Lady Gu said this.

It’s as if you’ve really become a negative person.

Back then things have been over for so long, who is right and who is wrong. By now there seems to be no point, the world is so big that there is no absolute love or hate, and there is no absolute right or wrong, for this reason he does not want to argue about anything.

When Shen Zhongbai saw that Court Lady Gu had left, he also got up and said, “This king still has some things to do, so I won’t accompany you, Zhi Paintings, if you want to stay in the mansion, you can stay there, if you want to go back, just make the sedan chair and go back.”

Gu Zhiying turned her head, her eyes swept over Shen Zhongbai’s back, and knew what this man was trying to do in a hurry, he just wanted to go after Court Lady Gu.

Ye’s hand poked Gu Zhi Hua hard under the table, but in return, Gu Zhi Hua received a blank stare.

“What are you planning to do by sitting here? Why don’t you hurry and chase after him to see if he’s gone to find Court Lady Gu?” Ye then lowered her voice and said.

Gu Zhiying’s face was calm as she turned her head and asked, “If he really went after Court Lady Gu, what could I do? Can I change anything?”

Her appearance was very frank, as if she had already accepted the result was the same, when did she Gu Zhiying become like this? When did she become like this?

Ye’s stomach of words was held in her throat. But nothing could be said.

When Court Lady Gu and Listening Wind turned the corner, Listening Wind finally grabbed Court Lady Gu’s coat and couldn’t help but ask, “Girl, what exactly do you mean by betraying all this?”

Court Lady Gu turned her head and said to Listening Wind, “Now that you’re back in the mansion, be careful in all things, those things you shouldn’t know, if you’re always curious, you’ll end up harming yourself.”

Listening to the wind in silence, I don’t know why, this time after the girl returned to the mansion, the whole person seemed to have changed, rather than changed, it was more like recovered.

Her attitude and personality, her openness to all things, all of it foreshadowed that she seemed to be regaining her memory.

If that was really the case, that would naturally be good. It’s just that regaining her memory means that the girl has become a threat to Ye again, and Ye will treat Court Lady Gu as a thorn in her side and find a way to kill her.

That was what was most frightening, and it was also the reason why Court Lady Gu had said that there were some things that should not be known, and if they were known there would inevitably be trouble.

Just after Gu Qiang’s words were finished, a voice could be heard behind her, “Qiang’er’s words and teachings to her maids to the point that this king appreciates them.”

What did it matter if he appreciated or appreciated? Court Lady Gu was not meant to live for Shen Zhongbai’s appreciation.

Court Lady Gu raised her eyes and met Shen Zhongbai’s eyes, the smell of his body was familiar, it seemed to be a smell that she had been in contact with before, only that Court Lady Gu had lost her memory before, and even when she smelled the smell, she didn’t find it familiar.

The smell was wafting through the air at the moment, mixing with the air and floating around her.

All the memories of Shen Zhongbai came flooding back to her in a flash, and she just felt her eyes reddening.

“Shen Zhongbai, I heard that you canceled my marriage contract with Shen Qianshan? Do you know how excessive this is, the late emperor’s corpse is not even cold yet, and you are in a hurry to try to control this, the eating is simply too ugly, advise you to behave yourself.” Court Lady Gu then said.

Her mind was filled with all the things Shen Qianshan had said about himself, he really wasn’t wrong, no matter how many times Court Lady Gu had lost her memory, his love for her had never changed, and even his words that he would make her fall in love with him again were true.

“Court Lady Gu, you’ve always been a smart person, how do you not know how to see the wind and turn the helm, can you escape marrying me by being so tough?” Shen Zhongbai then said.

She simply didn’t understand what Shen Zhongbai was doing by pestering himself like this, but the more he pestered himself like this, the more she wanted to run away.

“I’m going to marry Shen Qianshan before you’re an emperor, so let’s have some fun, shall we?” Court Lady Gu then said.

After saying that, he wanted to leave, but Shen Zhongbai grabbed the hand of Gu Qiang’s court lady, and his tone softened, and when he looked down at Gu Qiang’s hand, he said softly, “If you really decide, you can try it out, and see if it’s you guys who are faster or me.”

Obviously there are much better ways to do this, as long as Court Lady Gu compromises on this one point.

That night, Court Lady Gu and Gu Huai’an went to the mountains to see Jiang Rou.

As the wife of Prime Minister Gu’s family, Jiang Rou was qualified to enter the Gu family’s main grave after her death, but for some reason, she was pitifully buried in the bamboo forest.

It’s a good thing that the landscape around the bamboo forest is beautiful, with the water in front of the mountains in the back, and her grave is quietly there.

She was light in character and uncontroversial in life, and was worthy of such a place in death.

Court Lady Gu rummaged through her memories, only to realize with embarrassment that she hadn’t even come over once to offer her condolences.

Gu Huai’an walked behind Court Lady Gu, looking at her petite back and long hair.

“I before to very like to come over to see and talk when there is not is things, after leaving from the Gu family, there is a long period of time, I can not be frank, is here to let me gradually put down, female court official you should have come a long time ago.” Gu Huai’an then said.

“Big brother I’m sorry, I was too ignorant.” Court Lady Gu then bowed her head, she had brought good wine and nice flowers over, she didn’t really know what her mother liked, the word mother was still too foreign to her.

In front of the grave, Gu Huai’an stood there and watched as Court Lady Gu put the flowers up and sat there without saying a word.

“Did he ever think of coming to see mother? If there is only a hint of it, I would be happy.” Gu Huai’an then said.

It took a moment for Court Lady Gu to realize who Gu Huai’an was talking about.
