Chapter 346 Thoughts

Li Mumu nodded, "Mrs. Shang was tripped up by several ladies for a while."

Seeing General Shang's confusion, Li Mumu smiled and said, "Now that Mrs. Shang and I are close friends of the Crown Princess, we are naturally more popular."

Mrs. Shang has never encountered such a thing before.

Not only she and Mrs. Shang, but also Guo Liyan and Zhang Qihui, there were many little sisters around them during the dinner.

But they were all with their mother, so they escaped quickly.

Mrs. Shang only brought her maid. General Shang's parents did not come to the capital with them, but stayed in their hometown in Chong'an.

Without elders to guide him, others don't have so many worries.

General Shang understood after hearing what Li Mumu said.

There were only female relatives inside, and it was difficult for General Shang to go in and look for anyone, so he could only wait at the entrance of the palace.

Li Mumu then asked: "Mrs. Shang never said that the general would come to pick her up. She will be surprised when she sees the general when she comes out soon."

General Shang said helplessly: "It's not clear yet. He came to pick you up. When my wife saw him, she decided to compare him with me. I had no choice but to come."

Li Mumu laughed, "Isn't this good? In the past, generals were always less considerate towards their wives."

General Shang was a rough man. He had never had such delicate thoughts before, but he was all rolled up by Gu Shangqing.

But there is one thing about General Shang that very few men of this era can do.

That is, he did not take any concubines and only devoted himself to Mrs. Shang.

Men who have a little money at home are bound to take concubines.

Even those with a good reputation have one or two wives and concubines at home.

They are all prepared for the husband when the wife is pregnant or has inconvenient menstruation.

Moreover, although General Shang was a little careless, he did not expect to be so meticulous.

But whatever Gu Shangqing does for her, General Shang will follow suit.

Even Mrs. Shang said that since meeting Gu Shangqing, General Shang has made a lot of progress in private.

Many times, I knew I would pick her up and take her home.

General Shang smiled and said, "That's true. Madam has actually never blamed me for not being thoughtful enough."

While talking, Mrs. Shang also walked out of the palace with her maid.

When she saw General Shang, Mrs. Shang was first surprised, and then she smiled knowingly when she saw Gu Shangqing and Li Mumu.

She was helped down the steps by the maid, came to General Shang, and said with a smile: "Did you see General Gu coming, and you dared to come here?"

General Shang was really speechless when asked.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shang said: "It's good that you have this intention. Many people are unwilling to take any action even if they see their colleagues and friends like this. They even claim that their words and deeds are true men."

Mrs. Shang looked at General Shang and said with a smile: "And my general, although he is sometimes careless, he always takes me into consideration."

Otherwise, why would Gu Shangqing come so quickly just because he was afraid that she would be unhappy?
It's all because I care about her.

After hearing Mrs. Shang's words, General Shang could only giggle.

Gu Shangqing and General Shang each helped their wives into the carriage and went home.

Lin Zhengyu and her mother walked to the carriage. When she was lagging behind, the maid asked in a low voice: "Girl, why were you so merciless to Miss Naven just now?"

They girls have minds like bright mirrors. They understand many things very well, but they don't like to talk about them.

I rarely argue with others.

Even though she knew what the other person said was wrong, she remained silent most of the time.

This time, he responded to Wen Ruoying uncharacteristically and unceremoniously, which was really not Lin Zhengyu's character.

Mrs. Lin stopped and turned around to wait for them.

Lin Zhengyu and the maid stopped talking.

Mrs. Lin laughed angrily, "I heard what you both said."

"What you said to the girl from the Wen family during the dinner, were you sizing me up and not hearing it?" Mrs. Lin said angrily, "Just so, Mo Yu's question is also what I want to ask."

After Mrs. Lin pulled Lin Zhengyu into the car, she said, "Tell me about it."

Lin Zhengyu then said: "That Wen Ruoying didn't have a good idea. She was jealous of the Crown Princess, but she couldn't find the Crown Princess's trouble tonight, and she wouldn't dare to do so in the future, so she wanted to take care of the Crown Princess's good friend. Madam took it out.”

"She wants to come forward on her own. I admire her courage and respect her, but she wants to bring me along." Lin Zhengyu said, "In my mother's words, is she looking at me as a fool?"

"She wants to cause trouble for Mrs. Gu, but she came to take advantage of me. She wants to drag me to gossip with her about Mrs. Gu." Lin Zhengyu snorted coldly, "With her virtue, if I really take her words , talk to her, she will definitely tell everyone in the house to talk about it, so that Mrs. Gu can hear it."

"Why should I be used by her like this?" Lin Zhengyu said coldly, "And if she wants to use me, I will naturally be rude to her."

"I asked you why you are so unusual today. I don't usually see you being so rude to others." Mrs. Lin smiled.

"I don't care what other people do unless they bully me." Lin Zhengyu said, "That Wen Ruoying has no good intentions, but she still wants to take advantage of me."

"Besides, I really admire Mrs. Gu." Lin Zhengyu said, "What I said to Wen Ruoying is also what I think."

"I really can't stand Wen Ruoying's self-righteousness. She clearly knows that she is nothing, but she still looks down on other people's meritorious deeds." Lin Zhengyu said.

Mrs. Lin then said: "In the past, Wen Ruoying was only known for her talent, but now it seems that she is really unworthy of her reputation."

"The Queen is also very good at judging people. No wonder she didn't choose Wen Ruoying." Mrs. Lin said.

"Wen Ruoying is not smart. You can tell after a few contacts. I have never seen the Queen deal with those concubines in the palace." When Wen Ruoying was mentioned, Lin Zhengyu was extremely disdainful.

On Li Mumu's side, even though he had restrained himself, he was still a little tipsy.

Gu Shangqing sat next to her and let her lean against him.

Li Mumu rested her head on Gu Shangqing's shoulder, bumping slightly as the carriage rocked.

Gu Shangqing said: "Did the banquet go well today? Is anyone looking for trouble?"

Li Mumu smiled and said: "No, today went very well. In fact, I was prepared. I was worried that Miss Nawen would not be convinced and would cause trouble tonight. Who knew she would be honest?"

Li Mumu didn't know how honest Wen Ruoying was, but she was just stopped by Lin Zhengyu.

"After all, it's the prince's wedding. No one dares to cause trouble tonight." Gu Shangqing said.

Li Mumu nodded, "Besides, I am also the Crown Princess's best friend now. Many people are too busy fighting with me to have time."

"Tonight I also observed the ladies who brought their unmarried daughters to the banquet." Li Mumu said.

Gu Shangqing asked curiously: "Why are you observing this?"

"It is impossible for the prince to have only the princess." Li Mumu said, "I will observe and see who has the intention of entering the East Palace."
