Under the old lady's probing eyes, Xin You said calmly: "It's just a difficult guest."
"Oh, that's it." The wrinkles on the old lady's face relaxed.
Xinyou noticed the old lady's relaxation and thought about it secretly.
It seemed that the old lady did not want her granddaughter to get close to Dai Ze. But in this case, why did the old lady take the initiative to contact Gu Changbo? It can't be just out of good intentions, right?
Xin You doesn't think the old lady who values money more than her granddaughter is this kind of person.
Could it be——
Xin You remembered Mrs. Gu Changbo's scrutinizing eyes and had a guess: Could the old lady be planning for her granddaughter's marriage?
Is that Duan Yunhua or Duan Yunling?
This speculation made Xinyou feel a little complicated.
If the old lady has this plan, she will definitely find opportunities to have more contact with the Guchang Bo Mansion, which is a good thing for her.
But it's hard to tell if this marriage falls on a woman. It's fine if you only pursue wealth and honor, but if you value your husband's character more, marrying someone like Dai Ze would be a disaster.
Furthermore, once it is confirmed that Gu Changbo is the one who killed her mother, she and Gu Changbo's house will fight to the death...
Xin You decided to find an opportunity to find out what Duan Yunling meant, and to warn him if he had no intention of gaining power or wealth. As for Duan Yunhua, she doesn't mind her own business.
After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped and Bailu Mountain arrived.
Xin You helped the old lady get out of the carriage and saw Dai Ze riding a horse next to Mrs. Gu Changbo's carriage.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that Dai Ze also looked over, met Xin You's gaze, and revealed a smile that he thought was charming.
Xinyou: "..."
The old lady took a step to block the view, waited for her daughter-in-law and granddaughters to gather, and walked up the mountain.
Gu Changbo and his wife also got off the carriage.
Seeing that her son did not disappear as usual, but instead walked slowly beside her, Mrs. Guchangbo knew it.
This is because he has fallen in love with the girl from Shaoqing's residence, and it is very likely that he is his cousin.
If she is the daughter of an ordinary family, Mrs. Gu Changbo will not take it seriously. After all, there have been too many similar incidents in the past two years, and the trouble will be over after a while. But if she gets involved with a girl from an official family, she can only marry her home. .
With Gu Changbo's words, Mrs. Gu Changbo also figured out that her daughter-in-law's family status was almost nothing, but this kind of orphan girl was definitely not good.
Now that we have lowered our requirements, there are plenty of options to choose from, so it’s a good time to take a look at them in autumn.
With this thought in mind, Mrs. Gu Changbo was even more reluctant to get close to people from the Shaoqing Mansion and deliberately slowed down her pace.
Seeing Xin You walking further and further away, Dai Ze became a little anxious: "Father, mother, you walk slowly, I will pick a good place first -"
Mrs. Gu Changbo grabbed her son and said, "Don't run around alone. Today, the whole family will climb up to pray together."
Dai Ze wanted to say more, but Gu Changbo glared at him: "We'll talk about it later!"
"Oh." Dai Ze reluctantly agreed.
Bailu Mountain is not high, the mountain is gentle and open, and many gauze tents have been erected on the top of the mountain.
After all, the old lady was getting older. After chatting with acquaintances, she sat in the tent that was set up.
"It's rare to come out together. You can have some fun."
Seeing Mrs. Guchangbo's distant attitude at the foot of the mountain, the old lady knew that there was little hope of planning for her two granddaughters. Disappointment doesn't count, after all, both granddaughters have shortcomings. The second girl's mother was divorced, and the third girl was a concubine.
For the old lady, if this test fails to achieve another goal, as long as it succeeds, it will be profitable. If not, then take your time. The real decision for the Duan family's future is the eldest grandson studying in the Imperial College.
"Cousin Qing, let's go over there. There are many wild flowers there." Duan Yunling held Xin You's hand.
Xin You was about to have a private chat with Duan Yunling, so after saying hello, the two of them went hand in hand to a place filled with wild flowers.
Duan Yunhua, who stayed where he was, had a frosty face.
They openly ostracized her outside, which showed no regard for their dignity.
But no matter how angry he was, Duan Yunhua couldn't catch up and settle the score in public, so he had to walk in the other direction with a cold face.
There are not many types of mountain flowers in late autumn, but there are many dogwood trees with round fruits, which are crystal clear like strings of rubies.
Duan Yunling raised his hand and folded one, and said with a smile: "Cousin Qing, this is for you."
"Thank you."
"Then let me put it on your head."
Xin You lowered her head slightly, and cooperated with Duan Yunling to insert a bunch of dogwood into her hair, then broke off a bunch of dogwood and put it on Duan Yunling.
"I hope my cousin is safe and sound."
"I also wish cousin Ling no disaster."
The two looked at each other's red dogwood fruits and smiled at each other.
The atmosphere was just right, Xin You asked softly: "What does Cousin Ling think of Prince Gu Chang Bo?"
Duan Yunling was startled for a moment, then his expression changed: "Cousin Qing, could it be that you... like that disciple?"
"lecher?"
Duan Yunling whispered: "Last spring, my eldest sister and I went out together and saw him molesting the young lady in the street. The young lady was so angry that she wanted to report it to the police. He reported his identity and threatened them, then threw away a piece of silver and left... …”
"If cousin Ling is allowed to marry Prince Guchangbo——"
Duan Yunling blurted out: "Then I would rather die!"
Xin You confirmed Duan Yunling's idea and felt slightly relieved.
If Duan Yunling only pursues wealth, she will have to waste some time.
"Cousin Qing, why did you suddenly mention this? Is there something going on?" Duan Yunling calmed down and felt something was wrong.
"I met Gu Changbo's family by chance today. I'm worried that my grandmother has the idea of getting married to them. If cousin Ling doesn't intend to, try to avoid them."
With the gap between the two families, even if the Guchangbo Mansion is willing to marry the Shaoqing Mansion, the right of choice lies with the other party, not the old lady who can choose whichever one she wants. In this case, as long as you don't wander in front of Mrs. Gu Changbo and avoid contact with Dai Ze, the problem won't be big.
"Thank you cousin for reminding me, I will definitely stay away from them!"
Next, Duan Yunling didn't even feel like wandering around anymore, and dragged Xin You to a place with fewer people.
However, more and more people come to Bailu Mountain to spend the autumn and bid farewell to their youth. I thought there were few people in the place, but suddenly there was a noise and a group of people appeared in front of me. It turned out that Princess Zhaoyang had arrived.
Princess Zhaoyang was the only sister of Emperor Xingyuan. She did not remarry after the death of her consort, and she had a son and a daughter.
Xin You knew that this must be the aunt her mother mentioned, so she looked over curiously.
At this glance, she couldn't help but be stunned.
She is somewhat similar to Princess Zhaoyang...
This similarity brought about by blood relationship made Xinyou feel subtle.
Princess Zhaoyang gradually approached, surrounded by a group of people. A girl with picturesque features next to her saw Xin You and pulled Princess Zhaoyang's sleeve.
"What's wrong, Fu'er?" Princess Zhaoyang lowered her head and asked.
"Mom, that sister looks just like you."
The child's voice was clear and clear, and countless eyes turned to Xin You.
