"Your mother does need to recuperate." Gu Zhan said calmly: "But if you want to completely cure your mother's body, I heard that Sheng Xiaotao has a method. She is Sheng Guoer's sister and has superb medical skills. In this case, we can After getting in touch with Sheng Guoer, things at home are almost noisy, so it’s time for us to get down to business."
Sheng family.
The affairs of the Gu family have been making a fuss these days, and Sheng Guoer is naturally waiting to see what happens. Just now Meng Xingzhou came to say that he has also found out the details of the Gu family. It turns out that the Zhao family and the Gu family and the Meng Qili family are a huge group. .
However, Gu Yan was on good terms with King Zhao, and Gu Jinyu had Princess Zhao as his backer. Even if Sheng Guoer knew Gu Jinyu's identity, she did not dare to touch Gu Jinyu.
After all, there was Gu Silang standing behind Gu Jinyu.
The Seventh Prince didn't want to cause trouble, so he passed the news to Sheng Guoer. These families were more powerful than the Zhao Palace.
Although Gu Silang was quite famous in the military camp in the North, he was an important official in the imperial court, and the noble family did not buy him much.
After all, the Gu family was just a merchant, and in terms of wealth, it could not even compare to that of Prince Zhao's family.
Sheng Guoer thought about it carefully and felt that the seventh prince wanted to use the Gu family's help to clean up Prince Zhao's house and sell Gu Jinyu a favor.
Prince Zhao's Mansion is very powerful, but there is a large and powerful family in the capital - Lu Zheng!
How could it be that Lu Zheng's father-in-law was the only eldest son of the current Empress Dowager? When the Empress Dowager was still the prince's concubine, Lu Zheng's biological mother was considered favored and had status.
Although Gu Jinyu's biological mother, Mrs. Chen, was the daughter of the Jiangnan gentry, compared with the Queen Mother, she was nothing more than a country woman. After Mrs. Chen married Mr. Gu, she did not reap any benefits and ended up in a depressed state.
Gu Jinyu's natal family was not up to par, and Gu Jinyu's status had also risen. She was now the top noble girl in the capital, even more noble than the princesses in the palace.
After Chen's death, Gu Jinyu's biological mother Chen Xiuyun also died of illness. Gu Jinyu was more like the golden branch and jade leaf raised by the Gu family in a boudoir, and she grew up pampered.
But instead of being gentle and dignified, she was extremely domineering.
The more domineering and arrogant Gu Jinyu's character is, the easier it is to cause trouble, especially since Gu Yan only recognizes Gu Jinyu as a daughter in his life and does not allow any concubines to have children. Gu Jinyu has a strong say in the Gu family, no less than Mr. Gu.
If Mr. Gu dies, Gu Jinyu will become the new generation leader of the Gu family, and she will have absolute say in the Gu family.
Mr. Gu had already arranged Gu Jinyu's marriage for her, and as soon as she was pregnant, he and his consort would travel to the south of the Yangtze River.
Sheng Guoer was once envious and jealous of Gu Jinyu, but she was more glad that Gu Jinyu married to Jiangnan.
If Gu Jinyu marries to Jiangnan, she will be able to rely on him more in the capital.
Although she is a young lady from the Sheng family, the Sheng family has long been inferior to what it used to be. Mr. Sheng has long hated the Sheng family, and he is even less willing to allow the female members of the Sheng family to come to Beijing.
Sheng Guoer ran away secretly, and several big families sent people to hunt her down. However, she ran fast and easily got rid of her pursuers.
"I heard that Gu Jinyu is sick?" Gu Zhan glanced at the trembling maidservant kneeling on the ground and frowned, "Why didn't you take him away?"
"Third brother!" Gu Yao said before Gu Shan, "Don't blame Sister Shan, she is just worried about her grandfather."
"She's not worried about my grandfather, but she's worried that your Gu family will really make my grandfather mad."
Gu Zhan snorted mockingly, "Gu Jinyu, I heard that you were sick, so I came here to visit you. If you are weak and need a good rest, I can move you to live in my yard. I don't mind if you live with me." In the room, we brother and sister share a room, you should be grateful to me!"
He stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Shan up, "Follow me, my grandfather is still waiting for you to fulfill your filial piety, why don't you always stay in the ancestral hall?"
"Third brother, I don't have it!"
"Stop making excuses. You obviously want what belongs to your grandfather. You want the Gu family's property."
"You're talking nonsense!"
Gu Shan struggled desperately and cried, "My grandfather was so kind to me, my grandfather loved me so much, and my grandfather loved me the most. How could I want the things my grandfather left to the Gu family?"
"If you don't take my grandfather's relics, why would you still miss your grandfather's coffin?"
Gu Zhan sneered: "You are just a shameless person who cheats on food and drinks!"
"Let me go!" Gu Shan bit Gu Zhan's arm hard. She had never been humiliated before. At this time, she hated Gu Zhan. "You dare to humiliate me? Who do you think you are?!"
Gu Yao: "..."
Gu Shan, this idiot, beats Gu Zhan in front of everyone in the Gu family?
"You dare to scold me?" Gu Zhan was so angry that he kicked Gu Shan in the stomach. Gu Shan fell to the ground holding her stomach, moaning in pain: "I was wrong, I was wrong, third brother, please spare my life."
"roll!"
Gu Zhan waved his hand in disgust, "You don't deserve to call me third brother! You don't deserve to be named Gu either!"
Gu Shan burst into tears, "Third brother, I am your biological sister. I was born from my parents. How could you...how could you treat me like this?"
"I bother."
Gu Zhan didn't hesitate to spit Xingzi and spray it over, "When your parents brought you back, I thought they were picking up a baby bump, but then I gradually discovered that you were not my biological child, and then thinking about your mother... Haha, I am right You are not related by blood at all."
Gu Yao nodded secretly. Gu Zhan said it well. She also suspected that Gu Shan was not her biological child.
"Third brother!"
Gu Shan begged in pain, "Have you forgotten my life-saving grace for you? If it weren't for me, you would have been abducted by human traffickers. I would rather take risks to help you find those abductors, and I would... I would still risk my life. Help."
Gu Shan wiped the sweat from her forehead and pointed at Gu Yao, "If you don't believe it, ask Sixth Sister, our sisterly love, don't you miss even a trace of our old feelings?"
"I'm not nostalgia for old friendship, I'm just looking down on you, a wolf with a heart and a dog's heart!" Gu Zhan said bluntly: "If you really had the grace to save my life, you shouldn't have done it when I was sold to another county and almost starved to death and froze to death. Not only did you not repay the favor, but you also took the opportunity to bully me. Did you treat me like a fool? You were just greedy for my money."
"NO, I have not."
Gu Shan choked up and shook her head, "I really didn't think so much at the time. You misunderstood me. I didn't want your money, but... I'm just a weak woman. Without money, I... I can't live. .”
"You don't have to make up lies. I've seen a lot of white lotus and green tea bitches, but this is the first time I've met someone like you."
Gu Zhan raised his lips and mocked, and glanced at the maids who were dodging at the door, "I remember they are the maids serving you. Just now you shouted, shouldn't they rush over to stop you?"
"They... they are timid, afraid that I will hurt you." Gu Shan tried her best to squeeze out a few tears, "They are all loyal servants, not like me... not like me..."
"You mean they are all white-eyed wolves, and you are the Virgin White Lotus, a good girl."
Gu Zhan's eyes darkened a bit, "I remember that my second aunt often taught you to be a kind-hearted girl who knows how to repay kindness, and will not take other people's money at will. Since you are a person who knows how to repay kindness, why do you take it away again?" What about other people’s wealth?”
"Anyway, please hand over the money first, and I can consider forgiving you."
"..."
Gu Shan opened her mouth to say that she had no money, but found that all the clothes she wore were the best. Where could she get the money?
"What? You didn't?!"
Gu Zhan sneered: "Then don't blame me for using lynching to forcibly search you out."
Gu Shan shrank her neck in fear and begged in a low voice: "Third brother, please, I really don't have any money... I... I don't have any."
"I'm surprised, how can you be so poor?" Gu Zhan touched the tip of his nose, "Don't you have money to eat, or don't you have money to buy rouge and gouache?"
Gu Shan shook her head and said, "I have money to buy rouge and gouache."
Gu Yao couldn't help laughing, and Gu Zhan's face twitched twice, "Then why don't you use it?"
Gu Shan cautiously glanced at Gu Yao and saw the smile in the corner of her eyes, as if she was being pricked by needles.
"Where's your jewelry?"
"Yes..." Gu Shan whispered: "I have a set of gold and jade."
Gu Zhan frowned, "Did you give all those jewelry to your mother and sister-in-law? I remember that when my grandfather brought you back, except for a pair of clothes, there was no decent jewelry! I was too far away from home and couldn't catch up. When I come back to see you, I can only ask someone to send a sum of money back."
Gu Yao silently held her forehead, Gu Zhan was not out of money, but deliberately humiliated Gu Shan.
Gu Shan's cheeks turned red, "Those jewelry... I didn't want to take them out. Third brother, it's not that I'm ignorant, but those jewelry... I didn't dare to take them out, for fear that my grandmother would find out."
"Are you afraid of grandma?!"
Gu Zhan was surprised, "Grandma is not good enough to you? Doesn't she love you enough?"
Gu Shan lowered her head, "Grandma prefers the sixth sister. She...she won't let me in. She also said that I am a concubine, not even as good as the fourth sister. She dotes on the fourth sister more."
"This is her fallacy." Gu Zhan said lightly: "She and I have been at odds for a long time. She really doesn't want to see our sisters, not just because of my father, she... she also because of her fourth brother. "
Gu Shan was stunned for a moment, "My mother said..."
"They say I'm a bastard, a useless child raised by the Gu family, and not worth cherishing."
Gu Yao tugged on Gu Zhan's sleeves. He wouldn't tell the secret of that day.
"I don't care, I'm used to it." Gu Zhan held Gu Yao's hand, "Although I was envious of my fourth brother that day, I have never been jealous of anyone, because I know that they are all eldest sons and will inherit the title in the future. They are the ones enjoying the blessings, and I... am just a tool for them to fight for power."
"you understand me?"
"I understand that you are afraid that I will be jealous, so you must let me marry you. In fact, I know in my heart that it doesn't matter who I marry. If I marry a virtuous wife, you may not marry me. After all, I have never treated you Do your duty as a husband to the day.”
"But if you marry me, I will be your only man."
"……Um."
Gu Yao nodded heavily. Gu Zhan was indeed the Gu Zhan she knew. Even in a complex environment like the capital, he still adhered to his bottom line.
He would never let her down or take a concubine!
"Third brother, you...didn't you say you have no money?"
"I have no money, why don't you make money?"
Gu Zhan sneered: "You are my sister, I can't let me starve you. I heard that you manage many of the Gu family's shops? The money you earn every month is not enough for you?"
"…Yes, yes."
