"If you don't marry him, who else do you want to marry? How many years have you decided to get married? How can you still regret it?" Ms. Zhou frowned and said, "Although Prince Qiyang is said to be a bit playful, he is a measured person. Yes, he only makes small fuss, and has never caused any big trouble out of control. If you marry him, as long as nothing big happens in the Qiyang Hou Mansion in the future, your life's glory and wealth will be settled, what else are you dissatisfied with? of?"
When Yao heard Zhou's words in ancient times, she was very dissatisfied. She also thought so in her previous life. She felt that she was the right match for Ming Xun, the prince of Qiyanghou. Although Mingxun had no ability, he could inherit the title of Qiyanghou and would definitely be able to keep his identity in the future. status.
But I didn't expect that after the death of Marquis Qi Yang, Ming Xun inherited the title, but because there was no one in the court, he gradually became a marginalized person in the circle of princes and nobles. The palace gradually declined. When the ancient Yao children grew up, they could not find any willing They are married to a powerful family!
Gu Shi Yao had experienced the status gap from being superior and sought after to being despised and looked down upon. She had been brooding about this all her life in her previous life, and she would never experience it again in this life.
Therefore, no matter how much the Zhou family praised the match, Gu Shi Yao was determined to break off the marriage, but she couldn't think of a suitable way for the time being, so she had to endure it for the time being.
However, she could beat the drum and let her mother know her dissatisfaction, so she pouted and said:
"Mom, the current status of the Qiyang Marquis' Mansion is all supported by the Marquis of Qiyang. Once the Marquis of Qiyang is gone and Mingxun inherits the Marquis' Mansion, how can it maintain such dignity? Neither he nor his brother can support the Marquis of Qiyang. The Qiyang Marquis Mansion is doomed to have no heirs, and Ming Xun only has an empty title. Will it decline in the end? Could it be that his mother hopes to see her daughter follow him and become the Qiyang Marquis Madam with an empty title and no connotation? ? There are so many powerful people in the capital, anyone can step on them..."
Gu Shiyao's eyes turned red as she spoke. Wasn't this what she had been like in the second half of her previous life? She had already experienced this sadness once and never wanted to experience it again.
When Zhou heard what she said, she immediately hesitated. However, she was not a farsighted person, so she quickly found a reason to convince herself and her daughter:
"You are too unfounded to worry. The Qiyang Marquis Mansion has existed for more than a hundred years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has a rich heritage. Even if Qiyang Marquis is gone, the connections and inheritance left behind are enough for you to live comfortably for a lifetime.
What's more, the Marquis of Qi Yang is still in the prime of life and is still far away from death. After you get married, hurry up and have a few sons and let the Marquis of Qi Yang teach you well. Even if the Marquis of Qi Yang is gone, your children will have grown up. Even if the prince cannot support the Hou Mansion, there is still a next generation, so what do you have to worry about? "
Gu Shiyao was stunned. When she heard Zhou's words, she remembered her previous life. She did give birth to a child soon after marrying Mingxun. However, she was a doting child and did not give the child to Qiyang Hou for education. She raised the child by herself and indulged her child in everything. As a result, she taught him a replica of her husband - the son only inherited Ming Xun's playboy and incompetent side, and became a prodigal son. Naturally, it was impossible to support and revive the Hou Mansion.
If she had been willing to leave her son to her shrewd and strict father-in-law in her previous life, would the outcome have been different? Gu Shi Yao couldn't help but think like this, and the more she thought about it, the more regret she felt in her heart.
Did you really do something wrong? Gu Shi Yao looked in a trance.
no no! The son's qualifications were not good and he inherited Ming Xun's incompetent and playboy nature. Even the Marquis of Qi Yang could not teach him well. Isn't that what Ming Xun was like? Ming Xun is still the biological son of Marquis Qi Yang. Isn’t it true that Marquis Qi Yang can’t even educate his biological son well? How can you teach your grandson well?
Gu Shi Yao found an excuse to dispel the regret in her heart. Anyway, she could not go through what happened in her previous life again, and she had a good start in this life. She saved the future Prime Minister, and she could completely replace Gu Shi Yao. She has become the prime minister's wife with great glory, and has such a wonderful future waiting for her. She doesn't want to have anything to do with the Qiyang Marquis Mansion at all. This marriage must be canceled!
"Mom, is the Qiyang Hou Mansion going to hold Madam Hou's birthday banquet soon?" Gu Shiyao suddenly remembered this matter and hurriedly asked Mrs. Zhou.
Although Ms. Zhou didn't understand that her daughter was clearly repelling the Qiyang Hou Mansion, but now she was concerned about Mrs. Hou's affairs, she just felt that her daughter had become more adventurous, so she didn't pay too much attention and replied: "Next month on the 3rd , we have been invited to our house, you must go there when the time comes, and let the embroiderers in the house make beautiful clothes for you, you will definitely be the most dazzling one."
"Will Gu Shichu go?" Gu Shi Yao didn't want to be the dazzling one in Qiyang Hou Mansion. She only cared about whether Gu Shichu would go, because she thought that if Gu Shichu hooked up with Qiyang Hou Shizi, Then wouldn’t he be able to escape unscathed and not have to bear the blame for breaking off the engagement? And at the same time, it can also let Gu Qi, who was proud in her previous life, taste the sadness and pain of her previous life for the first time.
When Gu Shiyao thought of this, she felt more and more that this was a good idea. Putting Gu Shichu and Ming Xun together, she soon killed two birds with one stone. She not only cut off the possibility of Gu Shichu and Tang Buqing, but also found a reason to break off the engagement with Ming Xun?
Zhou didn't know what she was planning. When she heard her question, she said displeasedly: "That little hoof just made me lose face in front of the master. I won't let her have the chance to go out. She will go to Qiyang Marquis Mansion." Don’t even think about it.”
"Mother! How can you not let her go? She must go!" Gu Shiyao blurted out in a hurry. Seeing the unhappy look on Zhou's face, she quickly explained, "Mother, think about it, If she doesn't go, won't others think that you are deliberately treating her harshly? Moreover, she just complained to her father. If you deliberately make excuses to suppress her this time and she can't go out as a guest, and she goes to her father to cry again, then what will happen to her father? Aren’t they misunderstanding you even more? If you have a quarrel with your father over this, wouldn’t it be worth the loss?”
Gu Shi Yao's mind was spinning very fast at the moment, and her words happened to touch on Zhou's vital point. She hesitated as expected: "Yao'er, what you said makes sense...for a little hoof, your father is even more dissatisfied with me. That’s not good. Huh, you’re taking advantage of that little bitch!”
Zhou was extremely unhappy, but Gu Shi Yao was relieved when she was sure that Gu Shi Chu would go to the Qiyang Marquis Mansion.
If she hadn't gone to the Qiyang Marquis Mansion in ancient times, wouldn't her calculations have been useless at all? Then how could she get Gu Shichu and Ming Xun to hook up? If they don't hook up, wouldn't there be no way to cancel their marriage?
Therefore, Gu Shi Yao must make sure that Gu Shi will attend the birthday banquet of Mrs. Qiyang Marquis no matter what.
