497 [Prince's Wrath]
Zhao's words made Pei Yue fall silent.
Looking back at the beginning, he met Gu Zhen first and Ye Qi later. However, Gu Liang did not explicitly mention the marriage at the beginning, and Pei Yue was more close to Gu Zhen than he admired her. When Gu Zhen took the initiative to express his feelings, the two secretly made an agreement.
When they made the oath, he and Ye Qi had long been inseparable.
Zhao looked at his face and said softly: "Brother Yue, it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines. Your uncle Gu also has several concubines, and I specially found them for him. This is the way of the world, women
Who can afford a jealous wife?
The crime is that Zhen'er has been sensible since she was a child, and she definitely doesn't have the kind of temper that can't be tolerated. What's more, you broke out of the Pei family, and now you are setting up your own business. You are the only male in the family, and it is a big deal to spread the branches. "
Pei Yue said cautiously: "Auntie, I met a woman when I was in the Western Region. She has a very good character and temperament. I plan to let her into the Pei family in a while."
Mrs. Zhao was startled, then she covered her mouth and said with a smile: "You kid is really different. You said this in front of me. Are you really afraid that I will piss you off?"
Pei Yue said shamelessly: "How can I deceive my aunt about such a thing? Moreover, her life experience is a bit pitiful. I really can't help but watch her live in the world."
After saying this, he briefly explained Lin Shuyue's origins. After hearing this, Ms. Zhao sighed with emotion: "She is a poor person. It is her blessing to be favored by you."
Now that she knew the details of Lin Shuyue's identity, Zhao knew that she could not pose any threat to Gu Zhen. However, thinking of the topic just now, she asked with some embarrassment: "Brother Yue, how do you plan to arrange Miss Ye?"
Pei Yue took a deep breath, knowing that he could not escape after all.
He didn't want to be an ostrich. He originally planned to wait for Gu Liang to come back and tell him clearly about this matter. Communication between men would probably be faster, far easier than facing Zhao. Now he is tough outside.
However, the other party is Gu Zhen’s mother, and this relationship determines that he cannot act recklessly.
After making up his mind, Pei Yue told the whole story about Ye Qi and his marriage contract with her, without hiding anything, including the fact that Ye Qi was a descendant of the Ye family.
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao sighed softly, looked at Pei Yue with some distress and said, "It's really not easy for you."
Seeing that Pei Yue was a little puzzled, she said in detail: "Such a big man has to keep so many secrets in his mind. He has not rested for a moment in the past few years. Although your uncle has also made some efforts, he still can't be where he is today."
It’s still your own efforts.”
Pei Yue felt a little blocked in his heart and forced a smile: "Auntie, I'm doing very well now."
Mrs. Zhao nodded and said: "So, Miss Ye has a marriage contract with you and has done so many things for you regardless of life and death. There is absolutely no reason for you to be a concubine. There is always some friendship in life, let alone
You still have a relationship between your parents, so even if you are really determined to abandon Miss Ye and marry Zhen'er, your Uncle Gu and I will not agree."
Pei Yue felt shocked in his heart and stared blankly at the kind middle-aged woman in front of him.
The next moment, Mrs. Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "Even so, Zhen'er can't marry you as a concubine."
This is the intended meaning of the title. Considering Gu Liang's status and the lintel of the Gu family, if his only legitimate daughter becomes a concubine, the ridicule of the officials and people in Kyoto will flood the entire Guangping Marquis Mansion. From now on
It is impossible for the Gu family to raise their heads and live a good life again.
Pei Yue mustered up his courage and said, "Auntie, Your Majesty has made me a Marquis."
Zhao didn't react for a moment and didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this. She could only smile and said: "This is a great event. When your Uncle Gu comes back, we will celebrate it for you, and -"
At this point, Mrs. Zhao suddenly stopped talking and looked at Pei Yue in surprise.
An extremely rare look of shame appeared on Pei Yue's face, and he hesitated: "According to the rules of the country, only counts and above can marry two equal wives."
Mrs. Zhao looked at his expression of shame and hope. She smiled for a moment, neither in anger nor in anger. To be fair, this was indeed the best way to solve the problem, but who would want her daughter to share the status of the head wife with other women?
?Not to mention that Gu Zhen has a gentle temperament and does not fight with others, even Ye Qi has a reasonable temperament. Who knows whether conflicts will arise in the long run? Taking a step back, even if they can live in harmony, what will happen to their children in the future?
Placement?
There are so many dirty things in a wealthy family. Zhao has seen too much in Kyoto, so of course she doesn't want Gu Zhen to become a wife.
But Pei Yue has developed so fast that he can now carve out his own world in Kyoto even without relying on Gu Liang's power.
More importantly, Mrs. Zhao knew very well that her husband would not care about such an arrangement for his wife, and his expectations for Pei Yue were far greater than the world imagined.
Pei Yue is not an inexperienced boy. Not only does he not care about Zhao's entanglement, but he also understands the feelings of a parent. In the final analysis, this matter is because he is a little greedy, so he stood up, saluted and said: "Auntie,
I dare not
I praise my character and character, but I make the most serious promise in my life. If sister Zhen'er is willing to enter the Pei family, Pei Yue will respect and love her in this life. If she is allowed to suffer the slightest hardship and pain, I will be struck by lightning.
After death, you will go to the Nine Nether Purgatory!"
People of this era would naturally believe such an oath. Mrs. Zhao looked at Pei Yue's resolute face steadily, sighed softly, helped him up, and said with a wry smile: "That's all, as long as Uncle Gu and Zhen'er are willing, I won't
will be obstructed."
"Thank you, aunt."
Pei Yue saluted sincerely, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief, finally passing the test of being a mother-in-law.
Mrs. Zhao actually admired Pei Yue, otherwise it would be difficult for her to agree to this method. She said to a maid next to her: "Go and invite Miss and Miss Ye to come over."
Pei Yue couldn't help but smile.
He hadn't seen Gu Zhen for so long, why didn't he miss this girl with such a charming temperament?
After a while, Ye Qi and Gu Zhen arrived at Guangsha Hall.
It was still early spring, and the weather was suddenly warm and then cold, so Gu Zhen's physical condition was naturally not comparable to Ye Qi's.
She wore a peony and phoenix patterned gauze brocade shirt, and a floral emerald shirt and a dewy lily skirt on the lower body. Her face had a calm make-up, her slender figure became more and more slim, her steps were light, and her clothes made a sound when she moved.
Gu Zhen first saluted Mrs. Zhao, then turned to look at Pei Yue, but saw that her face was beautiful and cold, her eyes were like deep pools of ink jade, and she looked like a fairy floating out of the dust. The shy smile at the corner of her mouth was enough to explain her mood at the moment.
Pei Yue smiled and said politely, "Please greet Sister Zhen'er."
Gu Zhen returned the greeting shyly: "Good morning, Brother Pei."
Ye Qi looked quite interesting. Previously in the back house, she asked Gu Zhen if she wanted to see Pei Yue, but the latter just shook her head. Then after seeing the maid sent by Zhao, she took the initiative to drag her over. Now in Pei Yue's house
Yue looked like this again, really...
If Pei Yue knew, he would definitely tell her that this is called tsundere.
But before Ye Qi could start joking, the housekeeper Hou Liu suddenly came in hastily and said to Ms. Zhao apologetically and anxiously: "Madam, something happened."
Mrs. Zhao knew Hou Liu's temperament, and would not be like this unless something serious happened. When she thought of her husband and son who were fighting abroad, she couldn't help but panic, and said in a trembling voice: "What happened?"
Hou Liu lowered his head and said, "The boy next to the fourth young master came back to report that someone was bringing a large group of soldiers to embarrass the fourth young master. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, he quickly came back to ask for help."
Zhao felt relieved, and then asked in confusion: "Who would embarrass Fan'er?"
Not only is she so confused, but even Pei Yue and Ye Qi can't figure it out. Even if we don't talk about the strength and status of the Gu family, just Gu Fan's martial arts training, which ranger in Kyoto dares to attack him?
Hou Liu quickly replied: "It is said to be a prince, but I don't know which prince it is."
Pei Yue frowned and said, "Where is brother now?"
Hou Liu looked at him and said, "Xicheng Taikangfang."
Pei Yue turned around and looked at Zhao, and said decisively: "Auntie, don't worry, I will take someone there right away."
Zhao was a little dizzy. If it was just an ordinary gangster fight, she would definitely not be afraid that Gu Fan would suffer. But now it was a prince in front of him, and the Gu family's name obviously could not scare him. Seeing Pei Yue come forward, she said with relief and nervousness.
: "Brother Yue, your brother has a rather stubborn temper. When you go there, stop him, then say a few words to the prince to soften him up, and don't conflict with him."
Pei Yue nodded in agreement.
Ye Qi said: "I will go with you."
Pei Yue shook his head and said seriously: "Since it is the prince who stirs up trouble, he will not take action in Kyoto. You stay here with my aunt and sister Zhen'er."
Ye Qi thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay."
Pei Yue then said to everyone: "You guys sit at home for the time being. I will come when I go. I won't let my brother lose a hair."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
After leaving Guangping Hou's Mansion, he said to a soldier beside him: "Go back to your home immediately and mobilize the rest of the people to rush to Taikangfang in Xicheng without any delay!"
"Obey the order!" The soldier turned his horse's head and galloped towards Yongrenfang, where the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion was located.
At the same time, Pei Yue led more than ten soldiers to gallop on horseback, heading west.
He frowned tightly because this matter was too obviously weird.
