"I've already sent word that someone will come to pick up Xuan'er in the evening, and Yu Jinxi can't stop him."
Hearing what Gu Qiheng said, Liu Ruyan was surprised, "In such a hurry? The New Year is tomorrow, can't we let Xuan'er spend the New Year with us before entering the palace?"
"I'm almost trapped to death. What's the New Year? Mr. Zhang, it's only during the New Year that the nobles are happy to send people to the palace. Otherwise, do you think you can stuff a big living person into the palace for no reason? How about the palace? Where is it?"
Gu Qiheng glared at Liu Ruyan coldly, "Don't be meddlesome. If you ruin this matter, we will all be strangled to death by Yu Jinxi!"
Liu Ruyan didn't say anything anymore, she sat on the stool weakly, lying on the table and crying loudly.
Gu Qiheng looked bored and disgusted, so he simply covered his head with a quilt and didn't even look at her.
Yu Jinxi's house was happily preparing for the New Year, but Liu Ruyan's house was miserable and desolate, her eyes were swollen like peaches, and she couldn't stop her tears.
Liu Ruyan made a table of dishes to see Gu Chengxuan off in his room, but he didn't even take the chopsticks. He stared at Liu Ruyan and said in a strange way, "I enter the palace, and you can all live a good life. Mother should I’m so happy, why are you crying?”
"Xuan'er..."
Liu Ruyan couldn't help but burst into tears again, "Mom, there is really nothing we can do. This is the only way out for us, mother and son."
"Yeah?"
Gu Chengxuan looked sarcastic, "Mother, are you thinking, after I enter the palace, how will you deal with Yu Jinxi when you gain power?"
"You must have thought of many solutions, right?"
Liu Ruyan paused, then immediately cried and said, "Xuan'er, how can you miss your mother so much? She gave birth to you in ten months of pregnancy. You are her only son. Everything she does is for your future. "
"Stop using me as an excuse!"
Gu Chengxuan stood up suddenly and raised his hand to overturn the dishes on the table.
There was a crash, and all the dishes Liu Ruyan carefully cooked fell to pieces on the ground.
Gu Chengxuan pointed at Liu Ruyan and scolded angrily, "You are doing it for your glory and wealth. You are not willing to be a servant, so you use all your means. You are not doing it for me!"
"Xuan'er!"
"Don't call me that!"
Gu Chengxuan interrupted Liu Ruyan's words, with red eyes, and said word by word, "From the moment I enter the palace tonight, the kindness I owe you is enough. From now on, we will only have mutual interests, and there is no need to talk about anything else."
After saying that, Gu Chengxuan said to Liu Ruyan, "Bring me some money!"
Liu Ruyan was confused, "What do you want money for?"
Gu Chengxuan said bitterly, "If you don't take care of yourself when you enter the palace, do you want me to be bullied to death? If I die, who will please the second prince's biological mother for you?"
The tears on Liu Ruyan's face were not yet dry, and she said with an aggrieved face, "Xuan'er, mother has no money..."
Gu Chengxuan said impatiently, "Stop pretending, you still have at least five hundred taels of silver in your hand."
Liu Ruyan said quickly, "Those Zhuangzi have all lost money. Mom really has no money."
"You think I don't know? I lost the money outside, but these five hundred taels are the personal money you saved."
Gu Chengxuan stared at her with fierce and vicious eyes, "Now it's a foregone conclusion that I will enter the palace. If you don't pay me, don't blame me for getting up and stumbling upon you!"
Liu Ruyan was frightened by his eyes. She stood up slowly and went to find her own money.
After a while, Liu Ruyan came over holding a small box.
Gu Chengxuan's eyes lit up, but he did not take it immediately. Instead, he changed his face to a soft one and said to Liu Ruyan, "Mom, don't worry, I will not forget what Gu Qiheng did to us. When I get up, Not only do we have to settle accounts with Yu Jinxi, but we also have to settle accounts with Gu Qiheng."
His sinister voice startled Liu Ruyan, and Gu Chengxuan comforted him, "Mom, you are my biological mother. I will not harm you. I know you have no choice but to blame Gu Qiheng for all this. Just wait, I will I will definitely avenge you.”
Liu Ruyan was moved by Gu Chengxuan's attitude, and immediately nodded heavily, willingly gave him the money, and said, "Your father should have some money left, mother, go get it for you."
Gu Chengxuan counted the banknotes in the box and said lightly, "I'm afraid dad won't give it to you!"
Liu Ruyan snorted heavily, "He has to give it even if he doesn't give it!"
"Just wait, mother will tidy up your house, then go find him and ask for it!"
Hearing this, Gu Chengxuan immediately stopped her, "Mom, it was my fault that I was confused and ruined your thoughts just now. I will take care of this."
Liu Ruyan touched Gu Chengxuan's head, her eyes filled with emotion, "Okay, we don't have much time left. Mom will go and get some money from you."
After saying that, she quickly walked out of the house and walked towards her yard.
Gu Chengxuan looked at him coldly, and the kind expression on his face gradually turned ferocious.
From now on, no one can take advantage of him. He entered the palace for himself, not for Gu Qiheng and Liu Ruyan.
I don't know what trick Liu Ruyan used, but she actually got two hundred taels of silver notes from Gu Qiheng. She stuffed it into Gu Chengxuan and carefully said, "Xuan'er, you must be careful when entering the palace, you must take this money." Hidden."
Gu Chengxuan nodded, his eyes filled with impatience.
It got dark soon. Liu Ruyan got the news and pulled Gu Chengxuan towards the back door.
On the way, Liu Ruyan's palms were stained with sweat. Gu Chengxuan felt it and squeezed her hand tightly at the end.
Liu Ruyan's eyes heated up and she immediately stopped, "Xuan'er..."
Gu Chengxuan saw the reluctance in her eyes and couldn't help but look at her. He uttered two words coldly, "Let's go!"
Liu Ruyan could only endure the heartache and took Gu Chengxuan to the back door. At this time, a carriage was parked at the door. It was small and cramped.
Two tall, slender men stood in front of the carriage. Although they were wearing casual clothes, it could be seen that they were different from ordinary people.
Gu Chengxuan was sent to one of them by Liu Ruyan. The man looked at Gu Chengxuan carefully, raised his hand and pinched his face, "Oh, you are really a good person. Mr. Zhang must like it. You are lucky."
His actions made Gu Chengxuan very uncomfortable, but he knew he couldn't afford to offend him, so he could only endure it.
Liu Ruyan bowed humbly and managed a smile, "Please take care of me, father-in-law."
Hearing this, the two father-in-laws looked at each other and smiled, and one of them said, "How can our family take care of it? This seems to be Mr. Zhang's favorite. Mr. Zhang is very caring, and the private residence is full of the best things. , I won’t wrong him.”
As soon as he heard this, Gu Chengxuan felt something was wrong.
Liu Ruyan also felt strange, "Private residence? Isn't it the palace?"
The father-in-law smiled treacherously, "How could Mr. Zhang be willing to let such a young person into the palace? He must have hidden him and cherished him."
Gu Chengxuan wanted to run after hearing this, but was caught by the two father-in-laws with quick eyes and hands, "Boy, I'm here to pick you up to enjoy your life, where are you going?"
"Mom...save me..."
Before he finished speaking, the father-in-law who caught him immediately blocked his mouth with something.
Liu Ruyan wanted to drag Gu Chengxuan over, but one of the father-in-laws glanced at him instantly, "Have you thought about it? Pull him back. Can you afford the punishment?"
Liu Ruyan's hand paused.
No matter how hard Gu Chengxuan struggled, it was no problem in the hands of his two father-in-laws. He stuffed it into the carriage and took him away.
Liu Ruyan witnessed the frightened Gu Chengxuan being dragged away. She didn't dare to cry. She covered her mouth tightly, rolled through the door, and went straight to Gu Qiheng's house.
