The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Chapter 192 Recruiting a Son-in-law

Xiao Mingzhang was testing the little emperor's homework in the palace. When he saw that the little emperor couldn't answer the questions, his expression turned serious. The little emperor was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly.

Qi Meizhi, who was watching outside, couldn't help but feel sorry for his son, and hurriedly lifted the curtain and walked into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is still young and can learn slowly. You will scare him..."

"Mother."

When the little emperor saw his mother arriving, he hurriedly ran over and hugged her. Now that he had a backbone, when he looked at Xiao Mingzhang, the emperor's uncle, he was no longer afraid and secretly made a face at Xiao Mingzhang.

He disliked the emperor's uncle who was strict with his homework.

Xiao Mingzhang looked at Qi Meizhi doting on the little emperor with a straight face. He originally wanted to scold the servants around the little emperor and not let them lead the little emperor astray, but now it seemed that he was meddling in his own business.

So, he said calmly, "Since the Queen Mother said so, then so be it."

He waved his hand to disperse the Hanlin Academy bachelors who were giving lectures to the young emperor, and then he prepared to leave with his hands behind his back, without any intention of wasting any more words.

Seeing this, Qi Meizhi couldn't help but feel anxious. She quickly let go of her son and caught up with Xiao Mingzhang.

"Your Majesty, I didn't mean that. It's just that His Majesty is still young, so he can learn slowly..."

Xiao Mingzhang looked at her mockingly, "The emperor is your son, and it is your right to teach him how you like."

His willingness to patiently teach the little emperor was mostly due to his sense of responsibility, but Qi Meizhi disagreed, and he didn't have to conflict with her. After all, he was just an emperor's uncle.

Qi Meizhi took two steps back sadly, "You know that's not what I meant, but..."

Xiao Mingzhang made a stop gesture, "The Queen Mother does not need to explain to this King."

He didn't want to listen to Qi Meizhi's excuses. In short, he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a regent. If the little emperor didn't like to listen to him, there was nothing he could do.

He would never do it if he were asked to teach his son the way I did. After all, such a thankless task would only intensify the conflict between him and the little emperor.

While the two were arguing, Eunuch Zhang hurried over. After greeting the two, he ignored Xiao Mingzhang and said anxiously, "Mother, my uncle wants to hire Miss Gu to be his wife..."

"what?"

Qi Meizhi's attention was instantly diverted. On this issue, she thought she had reached a consensus with her brother. It was okay to marry Gu Deyin, and it was enough to give her the title of concubine.

I never thought that my brother would actually marry her as his wife. How could this be possible?
At this time, she said angrily, "Today's fool, if he marries a daughter who has returned from the clan as his official wife, isn't he afraid of becoming the laughing stock of the capital?"

After scolding, she hurriedly asked, "Is your information correct?"

Don't tell me this by lying, right?

Eunuch Zhang said anxiously, "Uncle Guo has proposed marriage to the Gu family with great fanfare. Now the alleys over the Gu family are crowded with people, waiting to see the outcome of this matter..."

Qi Meizhi's face looked extremely ugly.

Xiao Mingzhang, on the other hand, froze on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning. There was only one sentence echoing in his mind, and that was Eunuch Zhang's sentence that the uncle of the country wanted to hire Miss Gu to be his wife.

Do you want to marry Gu Deyin now?

Gu Deyin is going to marry someone else...

When he thought of this, he could no longer calm down. The fists under his sleeves were clenched tightly. He wanted to hit someone now.

He thought that after the last conversation, he could let go of Gu Deyin and return his life to the original point. He even thought that when Gu Deyin got married one day, he could calmly send a gift and blessing.

As long as she is alive and well, that is the greatest comfort to him. Then one day when he misses her, he can secretly take a look at her, which is enough for Yu Yuan.

After all, during the time they were separated, he often glanced at her secretly from a distance. When he saw her energetically handling the affairs of the business, he would also smile knowingly, and then he would be in a good mood throughout the day.

But he didn't expect that someone would propose marriage to her so soon, which caught him off guard.

Without thinking too much, he turned around and ran eagerly in the direction of leaving the palace.

Qi Meizhi was about to complain to him about her younger brother Qi Jinzhi's absurdity, but in the blink of an eye she saw him running wildly in the palace regardless of his image, and her eyes widened suddenly.

What's his emergency?

I haven't heard of it.

She was puzzled and even looked at Eunuch Zhang who was also shocked and asked, "Did you hear anything big happened along the way?"

Eunuch Zhang hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I haven't heard of any military mobilization or disaster today. Where is the prince going in such a hurry? Is it because of the marriage of uncle Guo?"

I saw Qi Meizhi, who was about to go back to the palace to deal with her brother's marriage, suddenly stopped. What does her brother's marriage have to do with Xiao Mingzhang? Why should he be anxious when it's his turn?
Eunuch Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to support Qi Meizhi. He couldn't help but joke, "Is it related to Miss Gu?"

Qi Meizhi's expression changed, and the hand she placed on the back of Eunuch Zhang's hand suddenly squeezed Eunuch Zhang's hand tightly, and her long red nails dug into Eunuch Zhang's flesh.

Eunuch Zhang felt the pain in his hand and looked up at Qi Mei Zhi's cannibalistic expression. He quickly lowered his head and did not dare to say anything about the pain. The Queen Mother's expression was too scary.

Qi Meizhi had never doubted the relationship between Gu Deyin and Xiao Mingzhang. After all, in her opinion, these two people were incomparable. However, Eunuch Zhang's joke made her begin to suspect that these two people were afraid of each other. Is there really some shady relationship?

Otherwise, why was Xiao Mingzhang anxious just now?
If he was doing it for Gu Deyin, then everything would make sense.

"You should immediately send someone to the Gu Mansion to keep an eye on him. If you see the prince there, come back and report it immediately."

She coldly told Eunuch Zhang to be fair.

Eunuch Zhang didn't dare to answer at this moment, so he quickly said "yes", immediately let go of Qi Meizhi's hand, bowed and hurriedly bowed and left to do this.

He had a hunch that if he couldn't handle this matter, he wouldn't have to hang around the Queen Mother anymore, and his good days would be over.

Qi Meizhi stood in the empty palace, looking toward the outside of the palace with sinister eyes, her hands clenched into fists, she would never allow anyone to take away her spoils.

no way!

If Gu Deyin dares to stretch her claws towards the man she likes, she will cut off her hand to see if she still dares!
The palace people passing by saw the terrifying look on the Queen Mother's face, and they all did not dare to approach and hurriedly took a detour.

At this time, after Qi Jinzhi's words of marriage proposal came to light, the Gu family was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop to the ground.

When Gu Ershu and his wife first heard that the present uncle came to propose marriage, they were so shocked that they almost dropped their jaws. They had already divorced Gu Deyin, how could he still be worth such a high price?
They didn't come back to their senses for a long time. Only when they heard Qi Jinzhi calling Gu Jianghuai Master Taishan with their own ears did they truly believe that the person who came to propose marriage was really the uncle of the country.

The couple couldn't help but get excited. Although they planned to arrange Kang Shenglian for Gu Deyin, this was a poor choice. If Gu Deyin could marry into the Qi family, it would be a truly beneficial marriage for the Gu family.

With this marriage, their Gu family can also squeeze into the circle of royal relatives. Will there be any less benefits in the future?

Not to mention that the Gu family can shine with this, their son can also marry a noble girl in the capital, and the two daughters will not worry about marrying high. After all, they will be related to the Queen Mother by then.

Just thinking about it, it’s so beautiful.

So the couple hurried to Gu Jianghuai's side and started playing drums.

"Brother, Uncle Guo is so sincere in asking to marry our sister Yin, so you should quickly accept it. If sister Yin can marry into the Qi family, it will be a blessing earned in eight lifetimes. You will not have to worry about having a good life in the future... …”

"Yes, uncle, the best life for us women is to marry the right person, and we won't have to be a lonely ghost when we die in the future. Isn't this much better than running around for a few taels of silver?"

The couple tried to persuade each other, but they were afraid that Gu Jianghuai would get angry and push back on this good marriage, which would be bad.

Qi Jinzhi glanced at Uncle Gu and his wife, his eyes were both complacent and a bit contemptuous. Such a look of following others' influence was really ugly.

After getting married to Gu Deyin, the couple must not be allowed to stay in the capital, otherwise they will lose his face.

When Bo Qingya saw the embarrassing behavior of Uncle Gu and his wife, the expression on his face became more and more ugly. What did this couple think of Gu Deyin?
Goods for sale?

Nothing so insulting.

He looked at Qi Jinzhi coldly, "Uncle Guo, is this your sincerity in asking for marriage?"

With a kind of condescending arrogance, as if marrying Gu Deyin was already a great charity, and the Gu family had to be grateful.

He bah!

I have never seen such a disgusting operation.

Gu Jianghuai pushed away the second uncle Gu and his wife who were nagging in his ears. He did not scold Bo Qingya for his rude words, but he stood up and returned a salute to Qi Jinzhi, showing off his posture first.

Qi Jinzhi was shocked, how could he dare to accept his courtesy? He quickly jumped away and said, "Master Taishan, don't be like this..."

Gu Jianghuai saluted again in the direction where Qi Jinzhi jumped away, "Uncle, my dog ​​is shapeless, so please don't worry about it. Besides, I am not your Lord Taishan. I cannot bear to be called you..."

Ignoring Qi Jin's ugly look, he continued.

"Uncle Guo, my daughter is really not worthy of you. I cannot agree to this marriage..."

"Master Taishan is too modest. It's up to me to decide whether he is worthy or not. Miss Gu is very good and I admire her very much. That's why I am willing to hire him as my head wife..."

For Qi Jin, this is what he says from the bottom of his heart.

Originally he just wanted to be his concubine, but after being criticized by Gu Deyin that day, he knew that this path would not work. So in order to get Gu Deyin, he took it upon himself to hire Gu Deyin as his wife without consulting his sister Qi Meizhi.

Given Gu Deyin's dignity, she had no reason to oppose the marriage.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jianghuai, an old man, actually jumped out to block his way. At this time, his eyes narrowed slightly, feeling full of oppression.

Gu Jianghuai was not afraid. He would never marry his daughter to such a person. If he wanted to say anything else, he saw his daughter also stand up.

She walked slowly to Qi Jinzhi and said calmly.

"Uncle Guo, since we divorced, my father has said that he will not marry me off again, but will recruit a son-in-law to continue our family relationship. If you are willing to be this son-in-law, I will accept the marriage. ”
