spring boudoir secret

Chapter 32
In the front hall of Anhui Garden, Duke Yan's face was gloomy and very ugly.

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

Gu Changyue sat on the side proudly, already thinking about how she would enjoy the glory and wealth after she became the high-ranking wife of the eldest son 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 discussing the marriage of Sister Yue and Shizi with the Duke. You are her sister-in-law, and you will help prepare for it in the future."

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

"Have you agreed on the details, asked the horoscope and picked the auspicious time?"

Gu Changyue flaunted, "Not yet, the Duke and Madam just came here to express their intentions, and I will have to trouble my second sister-in-law to help me with the rest of the matter."

"no problem."

Zhao Mingruo said with a slight smile, "Just leave it on me, and it will definitely make your marriage a good one."

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

The Duke of the State was listening, his expression became even uglier.

Zhao Mingruo also confirmed that the Grand Duke seemed very reluctant, even——

Zhao Mingruo seemed unintentional, "Since Prince Yan has taken a fancy to Miss Fifth, why don't you see him?"

Prince Yan was not present for the marriage event.

It doesn't seem like the marriage was made because of the true love between the two. On the contrary, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the Duke is being coerced.

Zhao Mingruo couldn't help being a little skeptical. 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 Duke Guo and Shizi Yan?

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

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

Yan Huai'an's marriage is not something he can decide on his own.

The old lady smiled and said, "Master, please be busy first, come to the Hou's mansion if you have time."

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

The Zhou family is the cousins ​​of the Duke of Yan's mansion. This Mrs. Zhou was originally the cousin of the Duke of Yan. She is shrewd and capable.

At the beginning, the Duke of the country was granted a marriage by the official family, and married the sister of the empress empress as his first wife.

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

As a matter of course, the Zhou family was welcomed back to the mansion by the Duke of the State as his stepmother. She was Shizi Yan's stepmother, so she obviously didn't take Shizi Yan's marriage that seriously.

After the Grand Duke left, the frown on Zhou's face parted, and he actually started talking and laughing with the old lady, "Old sister, we really have a destiny, when your family was in danger, it was our son who asked for it." Help, I didn't expect the relationship between the two to be like this, it's our fault that we didn't realize it at the beginning..."

Zhao Mingruo listened to Zhou's and the old lady's courteous flattery while wandering outside.

After sending off the Zhou family, the smile on her face immediately dissipated, and she glanced at the plaque of the Hou Mansion contemptuously, and soon she looked back 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 to lean over with a smile, "Second Sister-in-Law doesn't look very well, why, is it possible that you are jealous that I can have such a good marriage?"

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

Gu Changyue smiled even more recklessly, "Second sister-in-law is really good at pretending, she clearly hates and is jealous, but she still pretends to be indifferent on the surface, you must be very sorry, when you went to the Duke of Yan's mansion It was clearly your Changning Duke's Mansion who proposed the marriage, but you didn't have that blessing, and instead, I snatched it up."

"However, since the second sister-in-law wants to continue pretending, she must pretend to the end. I am going to marry the eldest son, and the second sister-in-law must prepare my dowry well. After all, the treasures in the mother's warehouse are all given to you by the second sister-in-law." Take it."

"You have to compensate me more."

Gu Changyue walked away contentedly, feeling very happy in her heart, she finally didn't have to look at Zhao Mingruo's face, and she was the wife of Shizi, so she wanted to overwhelm 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 mansion.

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, "Ah Fu..."

"The servant is here."

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

"Be careful, don't disturb father."

Zhao Mingruo returned to his yard absent-mindedly.

Gu Changheng was waiting for her in high spirits, "Ah Ruo, you are back, where have you been?"

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

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

"That's it, it's really hard work for you." Gu Changheng didn't care, but instead smiled and interrupted to talk about other topics, "Ah Ruo, look, this is the work of the two shops that you entrusted to me for the past two days. The income, did not live 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 simple look at the account book, the fake account was pretty good.

"Husband, you are really amazing."

Zhao Mingruo praised against his will.

When Gu Changheng heard this, he became even happier, "Yeah, finally you have lived up to your trust in me, now you can trust me to take care of the other shops and recuperate well."

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

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

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

Zhao Mingruo no longer insisted, "That's fine."

"However, it's a bit late today, and some keys are on the shopkeeper's body, and it takes time to sort out the account books. I'll send someone to inform them that everything will be ready for you tomorrow morning."

Only then did Gu Changheng smile happily, "Ah Ruo, don't worry about recovering from your wounds, leave the Hou Mansion to me."

Zhao Mingruo smiled softly.

But looking at the back of Gu Changheng leaving happily, she frowned tightly.

She also understood that there are still many things that the Hou's family is hiding from her, and there are things that she could never dream of in her past and present lives.
