Chapter 32 Another secret

In the front hall of An Huiyuan, Duke Yan's face was gloomy and very ugly.

Mrs. Yan Guogong seemed to be saying something to comfort her.

Gu Changyue sat aside proudly, already thinking about how she would enjoy the glory and wealth after becoming the noble wife of the Crown Prince in the future.

Especially the old lady, when she saw Zhao Mingruo again, she was no longer hostile, but more provocative.

"The second daughter-in-law is here. It just so happens that we are talking to the Duke about the marriage between Sister Yue and the Crown Prince. You are her sister-in-law, and you will help prepare it in the future."

Zhao Mingruo was confused in his heart, but with a smile on his face, "Then congratulations to Miss Fifth and Prince Yan."

"Have the details been agreed upon, the horoscopes asked and the auspicious time chosen?"

Gu Changyue showed off, "Not yet. The Duke and his wife have just come over to express their intention. I will have to ask my second sister-in-law to help me with the rest."

"no problem."

Zhao Mingruo smiled lightly and said, "I'll take care of it. I will definitely make your wedding a success."

The two of them were intimate in front of the Duke.

The Duke of Guo listened on the sidelines and his face became even uglier.

Zhao Mingruo was also sure that the Duke looked very reluctant, even——

Zhao Mingruo said seemingly unintentionally, "Since Prince Yan has taken a fancy to the fifth lady, why don't you meet Prince Yan?"

Prince Yan was not present at the marriage event.

It's not like the marriage was brought about by genuine love between the two. On the contrary, no matter how you look at it, you feel like the Duke is being coerced.

Zhao Mingruo couldn't help but have some doubts. Could it be that the Duke of Yan's mansion was really guessed by A Ruo.

Gu Changyue saved their lives?

Or is it that Gu Changyue saw the murder of the Duke of Guo and Prince Yan?

The Duke said coldly, "Leave the rest of the matter to A-yin and discuss it with you. I will go to the palace to meet with the officials and the queen."

After all, he is also the queen's nephew.

Yan Huaian's marriage was not something he could decide privately.

The old lady smiled brightly and said, "My lord, please be busy first. Come and sit at the Marquis Mansion when you have time."

Zhao Mingruo glanced at the Duke's wife, Zhou, calmly.

The Zhou family are cousins ​​of the Duke of Yan. Mrs. Zhou was originally the cousin of the Duke of Yan. She was smart and capable, and she and the Duke were childhood sweethearts.

At the beginning, the Duke of Guo accepted the marriage grant from the official family and married the Queen's sister as his legitimate wife.

It was a pity that her health was not very good and she passed away after giving birth to Prince Yan.

As a matter of course, Mrs. Zhou was welcomed back to the palace as a stepmother by the Duke of Guo. She was the stepmother of Crown Prince Yan, so she obviously didn't care about Crown Prince Yan's marriage that much.

After the Duke of Guo left, Mrs. Zhou's frown disappeared, and she actually started talking and laughing with the old lady, "Sister, we are really destined to be together. When your family was in crisis, it was our prince who took the initiative to ask for help.

Help, I didn’t expect the two of them to have such a relationship, it’s my fault we didn’t realize it before…”

Zhao Mingruo was in a daze, listening to the polite flattery of Mrs. Zhou and the old lady.

After seeing Mrs. Zhou off, the smile on her face immediately dissipated. She glanced contemptuously at the plaque of the Marquis Mansion, and soon she averted her eyes and got on the carriage.

There was only a momentary change in expression, but Zhao Mingruo still saw it.

On the way back.

Gu Changyue took the initiative and leaned over with a smile, "Second sister-in-law looks not very good. Why, are you jealous that I can have such a good marriage?"

Zhao Mingruo smiled and said, "How could it be possible? You are my husband's sister, that is, my biological sister. I am happy for you from the bottom of my heart that you can have a good future."

Gu Changyue smiled even more unscrupulously, "Second sister-in-law is really good at pretending. She is obviously very hateful and jealous in her heart, but she still pretends not to care on her face. You must be very sorry. When you went to the Duke of Yan's Mansion,

It was clearly your Duke Changning who proposed the marriage, but as a result, you didn’t have that good fortune, but I took the first step."

"However, since the second sister-in-law wants to continue to pretend, she must pretend to the end. I am about to get married to the prince. The second sister-in-law must prepare my dowry well. After all, the treasures in my mother's warehouse have been given to you by the second sister-in-law.

Taken away."

"You have to compensate me more."

Gu Changyue walked away with satisfaction, feeling very happy that she finally no longer had to look at Zhao Mingruo's face, and since she was the Crown Prince's wife, she had to overpower her.

With her help, the second brother can still inherit the title of the Marquis Mansion, and then he can divorce Zhao Mingruo earlier and marry Sister Wan to the manor.

Zhao Mingruo paused and was stunned for a long time.

She seemed to think of something in her heart, but she didn't dare to confirm it easily, "Afu..."

"My slave is here."

"Go and find someone to help me find out what happened when I came to propose marriage when I was brought back to the Changning Palace."

"Be careful not to alarm father."

Zhao Mingruo returned to his yard absentmindedly.

Gu Changheng was waiting for her in high spirits, "Aruo, you're back, where have you been?"

Zhao Mingruo came back to his senses and said, "I'm going to my mother's place. The Duke of Yan and his wife are here to propose marriage to Sister Yue."

"You want me to help prepare for the wedding."

"That's it, that's really hard on you." Gu Changheng didn't care, but smiled and talked about another topic, "Aruo, look, this is what you gave to my two shops in the past two days.

Profit, have I lived up to your trust?"

Gu Changheng, who had always loved Gu Changyue in the past, was indifferent to his sister's marriage?

Even a little disgusted.

Zhao Mingruo always felt that it was unreasonable.

She didn't say anything, but after a brief look at the account books, she found that the fake accounts were pretty good.

"Husband, you are really amazing."

Zhao Mingruo praised him against his will.

When Gu Changheng heard this, he became even more happy, "Yes, I have finally lived up to your trust in me. Now you can rest assured and leave all other shops to me and take good care of yourself."

"What about Sister Yue's marriage?" Zhao Mingruo brought it up deliberately.

Gu Changheng frowned, looking at Zhao Mingruo with uncontrollable disgust in his eyes. Even though he was trying very hard to please, the hand on Zhao Mingruo's shoulder was quietly withdrawn.

"I will give her some more dowry from the warehouse, and then give her some shops and some land."

If Zhao Mingru no longer insists, "That's fine."

"But it's a little late today. Some of the keys are with the shopkeeper. It takes time to sort out the account books. I'll send someone to inform them that everything will be ready for you early tomorrow morning."

Only then did Gu Changheng smile happily, "Aruo, you can rest assured and recover. Leave the Hou Mansion to me."

Zhao Mingruo smiled gently.

But when she saw Gu Changheng leaving happily, her eyebrows knitted together tightly.

She also understood that there were many things that the Hou family kept hidden from her, and there were things that she had never dreamed of in her previous life.
