Chapter 95 The Queen Mother Takes Action

Hearing his father Gu Yankai roaring at the top of his lungs, asking him to get out of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, Gu Tingye smiled indifferently and left in a casual manner.

Seeing that Gu Tingye had really left, the fourth and fifth branches of the Gu family hurriedly stood up and wanted to keep him, but they didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only look at their eldest brother Gu Yankai with resentful eyes.

"Brother, why is this necessary?

Finally, Tingye wants to come back. Can we discuss it slowly?

You just drove Tingye away like this, what's the big deal! "

"Hmph! Can you agree to the conditions that this evil creature just proposed?

What can we discuss!

Fourth brother, fifth brother, don’t forget!

Now it is the British public who has made a request, requiring our Gu family to put Gu Tingye’s name back into the family tree, otherwise they will not agree to such a marriage!

You don't really think that Gu Tingye, this evil creature, isn't anxious, do you? " Ningyuan Hou Gu Yankai said disapprovingly. He was certain that Gu Tingye would come back to beg him.

"Huh? Being able to marry the only daughter of an English duke is indeed what Gu Tingye has always dreamed of.

But with Tingye's bad temper, he won't come back to beg us!"

"Hmph! Then let him do whatever he wants!

I think I've figured it out, even if it means inviting the evildoer back into the family tree.

He is also unwilling to interfere in our Gu family's affairs in the future!"

Xiao Qin, who was standing by, was very happy to see Gu Yankai and Gu Tingye having a tense father-son relationship.

She has been acting all her life, making it difficult for everyone around her to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Only she knows what she wants.

Although it was she who suggested that Gu Tingye marry the only daughter of the Duke of Yingguo, it only created a rift between Gu Tingye and the Sheng family.

As for whether he could really marry the daughter of the Duke of Ying, Xiao Qin didn't care at all, let alone put Gu Tingye's name back into the family tree.

This evil creature Gu Tingye actually fantasized about writing Bai's life in the Gu family's genealogy, claiming to give Bai an explanation, but Xiao Qinshi could not accept it.

She believed that doing so was an insult to her sister, Da Qinshi, Xiao Qinshi herself, and even the entire Qin family.

But judging from what Gu Yankai said just now, he seemed to be indifferent to the matter, which made Xiao Qinshi feel a little uncomfortable.

Gu Tingye left the Ningyuan Marquis Gu family and did not return to the mansion given by the emperor. Instead, he went directly to the palace to ask to see His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, I, Gu Changsheng, am very grateful for your concern for my marriage!

But it is really difficult for me to resolve the request made by the Duke of England!"

"What? Didn't your father, Marquis Ningyuan, agree to it at the beginning?" The new emperor Zhao Zongquan showed a puzzled expression.

“My father, Gu Yankai, did agree.

But today, the negotiations between father and I broke down!
Therefore, I have decided to establish my own residence and ancestral hall, completely separating myself from the Ningyuan Marquis Gu family.

I hope Your Majesty can fulfill it!" Gu Tingye explained without hesitation.

"Why does Marquis Changsheng have to do this?

With the Ningyuan Marquis Gu family's connections and support in the military, Changsheng Marquis' future career will be much more successful!"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty!

This is just my family affair, so I'd better let me handle it myself!"

"Ah! In that case, I will no longer inquire about this matter!
As for the request raised by the British Duke, I will go to negotiate.

Marquis Changsheng is just waiting to get married!" "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Since returning to Tokyo Prefecture, the Sheng family is no longer the small family it used to be. People come to the Sheng family every day to build relationships and propose marriages, and the door is almost broken down.

The marriage between the second son Sheng Changbai and the Hai family had been accelerated long ago. With the mediation of the new emperor Zhao Zongquan, the Duke of Ying also agreed to the marriage with Gu Tingye, and the Sheng family had to follow suit to arrange all of this.

Because the Sheng family currently has no mistress to handle such matters, the old lady has to take care of them personally, which makes the old lady feel a little overwhelmed.

As a result, the marriage between Sheng Hong and Shen Ruyue from the Shen family seemed imminent. After discussing with the Shen family, the process was accelerated.

The news that Gu Tingye was going to marry the only daughter of the Duke of Yingguo made the noble officials of Tokyo Prefecture laugh.

They all lamented that Sheng Hong "lost the rice while trying to steal the chicken", and wanted to see the joke of Gu Tingye and Sheng Hong breaking up.

Unexpectedly, before they could finish watching the joke, they suddenly saw Sheng Hong marrying the daughter of the Shen family as his first wife. This completely shocked everyone in the Tokyo government, and even the new emperor Zhao Zong in the palace showed a surprised expression.

"Your Majesty, I think our relative Sheng Hong doesn't take Your Majesty seriously.
Such a big thing was kept secret!" Concubine Liu looked at the unhappy new emperor Zhao Zongquan and suddenly said something to sow discord.

"Haha, my beloved concubine is too suspicious!
The position of the eldest lady of the Sheng family has been vacant for many years!
It really should be solved!
This is also my fault. I should have helped Lord Sheng resolve this matter earlier!" Although the new emperor Zhao Zongquan was very unhappy, his years of scheming still made him say something that didn't matter.

“That is to say, Your Majesty is magnanimous!

However, Sheng Hong's influence in the court is still too great!

I heard that Sheng Hong had already started making plans to win over the hearts of the people.

"Sheng's Library" is designed to win the hearts of readers all over the world!"

"Nonsense! My beloved Lord Sheng is sincere to the Great Zhou, how can my beloved concubine be so suspicious?" The new emperor Zhao Zongquan looked at Concubine Liu in front of him with a reproachful look.

"Your Majesty, I know I was wrong!" Seeing that the new emperor Zhao Zongquan was angry, Concubine Liu hurriedly knelt down to apologize.

"Alright, my beloved, please go down! I'm a little tired too!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, I'll take my leave!"

After leaving the new emperor Zhao Zongquan, Concubine Liu did not return to her own palace, but went straight to the empress dowager.

"Noble Concubine Liu, I have something to tell you.

Have you told His Majesty?"

"Empress Dowager, this is exactly what I came here for!
Just now, Your Majesty was very angry with me because of this matter.

It seems His Majesty is very unhappy about the harem interfering in government affairs!"

"Haha, Concubine Liu, the more His Majesty scolds you, the more it shows that he is wary of Sheng Hong's powerful influence!

Just wait and see, this thorn has already been buried in His Majesty's heart!
Your Majesty will take action soon!" The Queen Mother said with a disapproving smile.

"Ah? Queen Mother, what do you think His Majesty will do?"

"Haha, I don't know either!
But I am also very curious about the emperor's methods!"

"Eh? Queen Mother, Sheng Hong is getting married soon. What should our attitude be?"

"Haha, Sheng Hong's wings are already full-fledged. It will be difficult for Your Majesty to solve the problem no matter what he wants to do!
If we can take advantage of the rift between the new emperor and Sheng Hong to build a closer relationship with him, it will be very helpful for our future endeavors!"

"Ah? That shouldn't be the case!

Sheng Hong's daughter is Prince Huan's principal wife, so why would she favor us?" Concubine Liu showed a puzzled expression.

"Haha, this is just a one-sided view of yours!

"What does a daughter mean to me when it comes to personal gain?" the Queen Mother said with a smile, shaking her head in disapproval.
