Jin Yue's heart suddenly turned cold. Did his grandfather really want to sacrifice himself?
The old Marquis took a breath and added: "However, if you want to marry, you must also marry Wei Yatou. This matter has nothing to do with Yue'er."
Jin Yue's heart dropped again. Her grandfather still understood the truth, at least he never cheated on his love for her.
Although she had already stated that the emperor would grant her a marriage, after all, the imperial edict had not yet been issued. If her grandfather really wanted to marry her to someone else, no one could say anything!
Zhen's heart was just vomiting blood. How come this old man has become shrewder as he gets older? He is not as easy to fool as before.
The second uncle Jin Ci said dullly: "But the Guo family only needs our eldest daughter Jin Yue by name, and no one else can replace her."
At this moment, the housekeeper came to the passage: "Master, all the young masters are back. I heard that they were expelled from the academy because of the reputation of the Marquis Mansion."
When the old Marquis heard this, he stood up in shock and hurried out.
Sure enough, I saw a row of grandchildren standing outside the door. Each of these children had their heads drooped and listless, but they were hit hard.
When Mrs. Zhen saw it, she immediately lit another fire and deliberately wiped her tears and said: "Old man, I am willing to follow you even if you go to the countryside. Since there is no place for us in Huajing, let's go together!"
After all, the old man couldn't hold on any longer, so he looked up to the sky and cried: "God, are you really not going to give us a way to survive in the Hou Mansion?"
Jin Yue was speechless. She originally wanted things to get more serious.
At that time, she would take action to solve the problem, and then she would be able to completely gain the right to speak from her grandfather.
Unexpectedly, my grandfather's fighting power was so weak. He was already dead even before he had a chance to fight!
She said: "Grandpa, why don't you want to think about another village? If my second uncle can't be an official, it doesn't mean that others can't, not to mention that the Marquis Mansion is still there and the title is still there, so why go back to the countryside?"
Mrs. Zhen cried for a while, and then answered: "Now go out and listen. The streets are full of people scolding our Hou Mansion. People in our Hou Mansion can't get out of this door, so how can we stay here in Huajing?"
Jin Yue didn't even look at her. He only looked at his grandfather and said, "You are a Marquis. You enter the court as an official as a Marquis and start at the fourth rank."
The old Marquis stopped crying. How could he not know the meaning of his granddaughter's words.
But he couldn't do it. If he could be an official, he would have served as an official in the court as a marquis. Why would he have been laughed at for decades?
Jin Yue whispered something in the ear of the old marquis, and the old marquis's eyes immediately lit up.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. Grandpa, if you don't believe in your granddaughter, then there's nothing you can do about it."
The old Marquis suddenly stopped being depressed, and pointed to the row of haggard grandsons and said, "Since we are all back, just say that you are willing to see your parents."
After saying that, he quickly winked at his granddaughter and had a good talk in private.
Jin Yue focused her eyes on the young man standing at the edge, that was her younger brother Jin Yu.
The young man was looking at his sister, almost unrecognizable when she came back this time.
Is that stunning beauty in red clothes really his sister?
Jin Yue winked at her younger brother, her naughty movements showed a lot more intimacy!
Jin Yu's heart moved. He had never seen his sister like this.
He used to really want to get close to his sister, but she never liked him. Every time she saw him, it was like seeing an enemy, which kept him away.
But when I wanted to take another look, my sister's figure had already left.
Only the old Zhen family with a gloomy face and his second uncle Jin Ci were left.
Even though the old Marquis didn't know many words, the study was extremely well-organized, and he spent a lot of money to renovate the appearance.
Jin Yue sat opposite the old Marquis and said straight to the point: "There must be someone behind this matter. It's not that simple."
When the old Marquis heard this, he immediately asked: "You mean, your second aunt has been taken advantage of?"
Jin Yue sneered: "She wants to harm me, and she doesn't need others to take advantage of her."
The old man also fell silent, feeling disgusted at the thought of having such a troublemaker in his family.
But after all, Mrs. Zhang gave him two grandsons, and they had to swallow this disgusting thing for the sake of their two grandsons.
"Don't mention her, Yue'er, tell me what's going on?"
"Who is Guo Huaian? His grandfather was the number one salt merchant in Jiangnan.
His father was from a prefecture, and he himself won two yuan in a row, and he was both talented and beautiful. Even if he did not have an official status, with his knowledge and family background, he was worthy of marrying a young lady from a high-ranking official family in Huajing. have to. "
In this sentence, the old Marquis believed: "You are right. I also saw this in the beginning and was tempted."
Jin Yue said again: "But I am just a woman whose reputation has been tarnished by King Jinyang's divorce. Although I come from a marquis' house, my mother's family has no help. Why did he choose me?"
Although these words are a little heart-wrenching, they are all true.
The old Marquis could only ignore what his granddaughter said about his family's incompetence, and asked: "Who do you think is behind this?"
Jin Yue had thought of it when Zhang proposed it, but kept silent and watched the tense development.
After all, only when something happens can the person behind the scenes be revealed, and she can catch the thief and seize the stolen goods.
Otherwise, if you catch the thief and you don’t get the stolen goods, it will be like working in vain.
She said: "If I guess correctly, the person behind this is Yan Ruoshu."
"What? Her?" The old Marquis couldn't believe it: "She is just a little girl, how can she have such deep scheming intentions?"
If Yan Ruoshu hadn't been extremely deep in the city, how could she have deceived her all over in her previous life.
She said: "The fact that King Jinyang withdrew from the court and married me because of her made it known to everyone.
As long as she tells Prime Minister Yan, she will definitely become her enemy. How could Prime Minister Yan easily let me marry the King of Chu? "
The old Marquis understood, and slammed the table and said angrily: "This whole family is a bastard. They have done such disgusting things themselves, and they want to prevent you from marrying into a high family to take revenge. This is simply too vicious. The whole family is really shameless."
Jin Yue looked at the old man and sighed: "If my grandfather can be as open-minded as my grandmother and scold the public, then my grandfather will really be an official."
When the old Marquis heard this, he was immediately frightened: "What nonsense are you talking about, girl? How can we allow people to be arrogant in the court?"
Jin Yue deliberately provoked the general and said: "If my grandmother were a man, she would definitely be able to become a royal official in the imperial envoy."
"You kid, why are you talking more and more crookedly? It's just nonsense!"
Jin Yue looked at his grandfather seriously, with a serious and sincere expression on his small face.
The old Marquis was infected by his granddaughter's expression and became serious.
He asked: "How do you say this?"
Jin Yue began to lie: "What kind of official is that, Royal Envoy? That's the official who complains about others. When the supervisory officials see any injustice, they report it directly to the emperor. There is no need to be polite at all. They just complain as much as they feel comfortable."
The old Marquis was suddenly elated. If he really became such a comfortable official, he would be so majestic.
