Fourth sister misunderstood, I didn’t..."
"nothing?"
Gu Yao smiled sarcastically, "Do you think I'm stupid? If the fifth sister didn't send me snacks, how would you have stopped me?"
Gu Jinyu lowered his eyelids and remained silent.
"Third sister, please speak." Gu Yao pushed Gu Jinyu, "Aren't you very talkative just now? Why did you suddenly become silent? Are you guilty? Or do you feel sorry for the money? Or are you jealous of me? Are you jealous that I have money? Fifth sister, will you give me some snacks?"
"I don't care about her snacks."
Gu Jinyu murmured in a low voice, and glanced at Gu Yue from the corner of her eye, who was staring at her shyly.
Gu Jinyu felt sad for a moment.
She is the legitimate daughter and can have the most expensive and beautiful things in the world, but why does the fifth sister always look at her with envy and admiration?
She is the legitimate daughter, she is the eldest granddaughter, and she deserves to enjoy this honor.
Gu Jinyu clenched her fists and glared at Gu Yue, "Hurry up and put away the snacks. Although the fifth sister is young, she cherishes the things given by her grandmother very much. You have made the decision for the fifth sister without permission this time, which has touched the fifth sister's bottom line. If my sister is unhappy, don’t even try to please her.”
"I didn't want to please the fifth sister." Gu Yue retorted in a low voice.
Gu Jinyu snorted, "Of course you don't dare to offend Fifth Sister. You are a concubine, and you are hated by your parents. Fifth Sister has never cared about you since you were a child. She doesn't like you, so naturally she won't treat you as a human being." Treat it like a sister."
Gu Jinyu persuaded in a sincere tone, "Fifth sister is ignorant, are you also confused? Fifth sister is just a child. She made mistakes and her grandmother punished her. You actually helped fifth sister hide it. If it spreads, you Do you still want the reputation?"
Gu Yue bit her lip, "You... I didn't think that far ahead, and it was also for the sake of my fourth sister and my grandmother."
Gu Jinyu sighed softly and held Gu Yue's arm, "Just listen to sister, don't complain in front of grandma, let alone tell fifth sister what we discussed. I'm not afraid of grandma punishing us, I'm afraid of fourth sister Misunderstand."
"How could she misunderstand?"
Gu Yue muttered something, obviously she had something else to say, but was stopped by Gu Jinyu's stern eyes.
"I was just asking casually."
Gu Yue pursed her lips and said, "Fourth sister, don't worry, I understand the importance. The fifth sister doesn't know the inside story, and she does it for the fourth sister. I can't destroy the sisterly relationship between the fifth sister and the fourth sister because of my selfish desires."
Gu Jinyu smiled happily, "Fifth sister has indeed improved a lot, and she also knows how to protect our relationship as sisters."
She dragged Gu Jinyu into the house and said in a low voice: "Grandma asked me to go with you to see her. You should change into brighter clothes and dress up."
"good."
Gu Shan nodded, "Fourth sister, please wait for me for a while. I'll be back as soon as I go."
"Slow down."
"good."
After Gu Shan left, Gu Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief and took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Sixth sister, just leave this place to me. You can go and accompany your grandmother."
"Third Sister, please go back and rest early. I won't delay Third Sister's time."
"Um."
Gu Shan turned and left.
Gu Jinyu sat down, took a sip of tea from the tea cup, "It's really hard. I have to be wary of my second aunt and my second brother every day."
Her maid came over and whispered: "Grandma Fourth Aunt, I just heard what the second lady said."
"Speak more clearly and don't hesitate."
Gu Jinyu frowned, "What did the second aunt say?"
"The second bedroom seems to be planning something..." The maid lowered her voice, "The old lady of the second bedroom is sick. The third uncle of the first bedroom and the second master went to visit the old lady. It is said that the old lady was very angry and said that the second master's elbow was outward. Hui... I heard this accidentally when listening to the chats of lazy and slippery ladies elsewhere."
Gu Jinyu thought for a long time and then ordered: "Go and find Grandma Sangu. I have something to discuss with her."
Gu Jinyu didn't believe that except for his third uncle, the Gu family had no smart servants.
After all, Gu Yan is the eldest son of the Gu family, and he has written it clearly in the family tree.
Gu Yan's wife, Li, was the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. She also gave birth to a pair of children for the Gu family. She was also well-educated and was highly respected by the clan leader.
Not everyone in the Gu family is loyal to Gu Yan, but there are also a group of loyal people in the family.
"Miss Fourth."
"Third sister is here."
Gu Jinyu stood up and went out with a smile, "You're finally here. I have something urgent to tell you."
Gu Jinyu pulled Gu Jinyun into the house and turned away from the serving maid, "Fourth sister, what do you think the second aunt and second cousin are doing?"
Gu Jinyun's eyes dimmed slightly, "Them?"
"Yeah, them!"
Gu Jinyu's face flashed with something strange, "Grandma called them over and asked the fourth sister to go see grandma. She also had something to ask the fourth sister."
"grandmother?"
Gu Jinyun said in confusion: "Why did grandma ask me to go alone? Doesn't she love her third cousin the most?"
"Who knows?" Gu Jinyu deliberately let it slip and said with a smile: "I heard that the second aunt and the third cousin had a bit of a fight today. The second aunt not only reprimanded the third cousin, but also warned the third cousin that he should not The decision must never be made, and the third cousin is not allowed to participate..."
"Are you sure?" Gu Jinyun said in surprise: "I heard from my mother that the second aunt loves the third brother the most, and we are not as good as the third brother. How could the second aunt warn him? I heard that the second uncle is a filial and filial man. How can you be willing to make Second Aunt uncomfortable?"
"Hey, is your news reliable? I heard that the third cousin had a falling out with his second aunt because of Gu Jia? The third cousin is very attracted to Gu Jia. He has always wanted to marry Gu Jia as an equal wife, and he didn't even want to I am willing to admit that I am the son of my stepmother."
Gu Jinyu chuckled and said: "These days, he often goes to the academy to study. He also specially asked his husband to teach him literature and poetry, and even found a famous teacher to teach him his homework."
"Gu Jia...the third cousin is very motivated and works hard."
"I heard that the third cousin prepared a generous betrothal gift for Gu Jia, and also said that he would marry Gu Jia home. I'm worried that he has been deceived. Gu Jia is not worthy of being his legitimate wife, let alone his third cousin's equal wife. .”
Gu Jinyu spoke softly, tenderly and considerately, as if she was really worried about the third prince.
In fact, he wanted to sow discord between Gu Jia and Gu Yan.
The third cousin is the third master's only legitimate son, that is, the third prince's biological brother.
The third prince treats his third cousin as his own brother and dotes on him. If the third cousin can really marry Gu Jia, the third prince will have a strong support in the court in the future, which will definitely be of great benefit to the third prince's future.
"Is the third cousin confused and actually wants to marry Gu Jia as his wife? Who is Gu Jia?"
Gu Jinyu shook his head, "I don't know either. It's better for you to worry less about your third cousin's affairs, so as not to attract any gossip."
"That's right. It's not my turn to take care of this kind of thing. It's better to take good care of the house and try to get pregnant as soon as possible. When I give birth to my son, I will have the capital to compete with my sister-in-law."
Gu Jinyu said softly: "You can raise the baby with peace of mind, and leave these matters to me."
"Don't worry about your work. I'll go back and rest first."
Gu Jinyu watched Gu Jinyun leave and said softly: "Where are we now, third sister, don't be anxious."
Early the next morning, Gu Jinyu went to her grandmother's yard to pay her respects as usual. Not only did she go, but all her sisters and cousins came, including Gu Yao.
They sat around and had breakfast together.
Mother Chen came over with a cup of soup, "Old Madam, I would like to invite all the masters to use medicinal food, a nourishing medicinal food."
Mrs. Gu was in high spirits, neatly dressed and sitting on the soft couch, "I am getting older and my energy cannot keep up. You don't have to worry about me, just take good care of yourself and don't get exhausted."
Everyone said yes.
Gu Jinyu smiled sweetly: "Is grandma having troubles?"
"No."
Mrs. Gu said with a smile: "I'm doing well now. It won't be a problem to live another hundred and eighty years. But you guys, don't rely on me to support you and act more and more willfully."
"grandmother……"
"Jin Yu is getting older too. I see that you are living quite comfortably after marrying into the Xie family, so I won't say more."
"Grandma," Gu Jinyu said coquettishly, "don't always rush me. I'm already a child, and I'll get married in two years. Aren't you afraid that your granddaughter will be unfilial?"
"You will not."
"I will." Gu Jinyu said solemnly: "My granddaughter will be filial to her grandmother."
Mrs. Gu sighed, "Jin Yu has never disobeyed me. I believe you, but you refuse to tell the truth. I just can't let go, so I can only force you to tell me."
She held Gu Jinyu's hand with kindness and compassion, "I don't want you to go astray and hurt yourself, especially your future husband."
"Jinyu understands, don't worry grandma, I will consider it carefully and choose carefully."
"Well, that's good if you think so." Mrs. Gu smiled happily, "Jinyu, you are a blessed child. Grandma will not treat you badly. I will leave all my things to you."
Gu Jinyu looked grateful, "Thank you grandma for your love."
She sneered in her heart, the old fox couldn't bear to part with Gu Jinyu's dowry after all. Although this dowry was not much, it was the foundation of the Gu family.
The amount of Gu Jinyu's dowry affects the Gu family's status among court officials.
Gu Jinyu didn't think Gu Jinyu would lose to Gu Jia.
If she loses to Gu Jia, the Gu family will lose face and Mrs. Gu's prestige will drop to the bottom.
Gu Jinyu pursed her lips, Gu Jia was so lucky.
*****
Gu Yao had just woken up and finished washing up when Gu Shan came and knocked on the door.
"Second sister, third cousin comes to see you."
Gu Yao asked in surprise: "Third cousin? Shouldn't she go to school with her second sister?"
"She was drunk last night and didn't wake up until early in the morning. She got up early today and came to see me, saying she had something to talk to Sixth Sister."
There was sadness in Gu Shan's eyebrows, "I couldn't stop her, but my third cousin just rushed in."
Gu Yao said slowly: "Second sister, go help me change my clothes and follow me to see third cousin."
"Sixth sister, I have advised my third cousin that no matter what request she makes, you don't have to agree to her. My parents will not allow you...how can you be so confused?"
Gu Shan was anxious, "Third cousin has been staring at your dowry..."
"You misunderstood me. I will not agree to your third cousin's request."
Gu Yao said softly: "Since the second sister is worried about me suffering a loss, why don't we go to meet the third cousin together.
Gu Shan hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, you come with me."
She was not afraid of her third cousin, but worried that Gu Yao would suffer.
Gu Jinyu is already difficult enough. If another Gu Jia appears, wouldn't Gu Yao be in even greater trouble?
Gu Jinyu had no power in the capital. No one except Mrs. Gu dared to provoke Gu Jinyu.
Gu Jia is different, the only aunt in Gu's family and Gu Silang's legitimate wife!
She is the legitimate mother and has the right to intervene in the Gu family's internal affairs. Even Gu Jinyu has to give way to Gu Jia.
Gu Yao smiled and winked at Gu Shan: "Second sister, I am sensible. Besides, have you forgotten that my wedding date is before my third cousin? I am protected by my husband, and I have my grandmother who loves me. I am not afraid of anyone." .”
He looked like he was not afraid of the sky or the earth.
