Chapter 169 Trouble Comes (3)
The consequence of Li Jiao's actions was that the old lady accelerated her pace of taking concubines for Gu Changyuan.

After knowing what Li Jiao had done, the old lady sneered and didn't say anything. Over the years, she was speechless about Li Jiao's ignorance. She just looked at Nanny Qi and said seriously: "I bought it. Are those girls clear about their wealth?"

"It's all clear, all the girls and Lao Nu have confirmed with Ren Yazi one by one."

The old lady nodded after hearing this, and after a moment of silence, Nanny Qi said in a low voice: "Old lady, do you really want to pick a concubine for the uncle among these girls?"

"What? Do you think there's something wrong?"

"It's not wrong, the old slave just thinks that the background of these girls is too low."

The old lady frowned when she heard this, and sighed: "I don't know what you said, generally well-educated people are not very good except for the daughters of officials, but those daughters of officials in the capital are not very good. Don't think about it, even a concubine would not come to our Gu family to be a concubine."

"Firstly, Changyuan's official position is not too high. Secondly, Gu Heng is so big. The most important thing is Li Yi's influence in the court. In order to be my concubine of the Gu family, he made Li Yi unhappy. No one will do something that is not worth the loss." The old lady said with a blank expression, "In this case, I can only find a daughter with a clean background and a lower status."

What the old lady said, Nanny Qi understands that she does not have much hope for coming to the Gu family as a concubine. The position of the mistress is unshakable. Even if she gives birth to a son, she does not have much chance to compete with Gu Heng. The age difference is too much.

In fact, why does the old lady not want to find an excellent concubine who can suppress the second aunt, but right now she really can't find a suitable candidate.

"Old lady, this old servant suddenly thought of someone."

"Who?"

"Miss Lin."

"Her?" Thinking of Lin Wan'er's style and appearance, the old lady nodded and said, "This Miss Lin is really nice, but is she willing? After all, she used to be the housekeeper's daughter."

"Old lady, although she is said to be the housekeeper's daughter, her current situation is worse than that of ordinary people."

Thinking of what Ms. Lin once said about the past, her family background, family disaster, her parents died, her brother and sister-in-law disappeared, and she was the only one left in the family. With nothing to rely on, there is only a girl and a groom by her side, and she is a weak woman who can't survive at all. This is why Miss Lin was sad at the family banquet that day.

Seeing that the old lady's heart was moved, Nanny Qi said in a low voice: "Old lady, the most important thing is that Miss Lin is of the right age."

The old lady was shocked when she heard the words, yes, Lin Wan'er is already seventeen this year, and it is easier to conceive than those fourteen five years old.

"Nurse Qi, you seem to be more concerned about letting the uncle take a concubine than I am! You have thought of everything."

The old lady's indifferent words made Mammy Qi's heart skip a beat. Immediately, she knelt down in front of the old lady, raised her head, looked at the old lady and said frankly: "Old lady, this old servant has been following the old lady for decades. To put it in a rebellious word, in the Gu family, no matter which master is proud, even if it is changed in the end, there is no place for the old slave except for the old lady. Therefore, the old slave understands one fact in his heart, that is, only the old The old slave will only be well when the person is well."

The old lady listened and looked at the inquiry in Nanny Qi's eyes, and doubted the news, because she knew that although what Nanny Qi said was a bit outrageous, it proved that she had seen it thoroughly. No matter who in the Gu family saw it, She is her own confidant, she wants to find a new master, no one can trust her, she will only treat her as a spy sent by him to spy on them.

The old lady reached out to help her up herself, and said slowly: "Get up! You and I have been master and servant for dozens of years, and I seem to know you well, but I was tossed about by the second aunt and the others recently. I feel a little confused."

"Old lady, this old slave understands."

"Nurse Qi, Lin Wan'er, you can talk about it from the side first, and see what she thinks in her heart. If she has that intention, I will tell her personally."

"Yes, old lady."

The meaning of the old lady is very clear, if Lin Wan'er agrees, she will be her backing in this family.

In the big mansion, the most difficult thing is to hide the secret, not to mention, the old lady never thought of hiding the matter of the concubine for Gu Changyuan's service, and then, the people in the mansion soon found out. The news made people in the mansion startled, but they didn't react too much, but this time there was only one person except Li Jiao.

After Li Jiao got the news, she lost her temper immediately, and then went to the old lady, but she didn't know what she had said with the old lady, and finally walked out with a pale face. The pavilion collapsed, and the medicine boiled for Li Jiao at night was more meditation and calming than before.

At the same time, the third aunt of Gu Changyuan's woman reacted much more flatly, and even laughed inexplicably when she heard the news. Gu Yun'er on the side didn't understand this very much, and said puzzledly: "Auntie, you... ...Aren't you sad?"

"Sad? Hehe, my aunt has been sad before, but she won't be anymore." The third aunt caressed Gu Yun'er's small face, and said softly: "My aunt has already seen through the things that can't be seen or touched. , I just hope that you can make a good marriage and live a better life than your aunt, and nothing else matters."

Gu Yun'er seemed to understand a little bit, she didn't care about what Auntie said, did she refer to her father?

After Gu Qingyuan heard the news, he slowly laughed, and the curtain finally opened.

Liu Lang looked at Gu Heng and frowned and said, "What's going on? How could you let your aunt go to the Zhuangzi?"

Regarding the eagerness in Liu Lang's words, there was still a trace of trouble, Gu Heng remained calm, and said calmly: "It is the best choice for Auntie to go to Zhuangzi."

"How could this be the best choice? Life in Zhuangzi is hard, how can your aunt bear it?"

"It's better to be poor than to be kicked out of the Gu family."

Liu Lang was choked up when he heard this, and then paused for a moment, a little disbelieving: "You mean, the old lady will drive your aunt out of Gu's house, that's impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible." Gu Heng raised his eyes, with coldness in his eyes, "She has lived so smoothly for so many years, before doing things, she even forgot the word "measures", how dare she set a date in the Earl's Mansion Playing with her mind, she is so bold."

"Heng'er, you should also understand your aunt, she is also worried..."

"What are you worried about? Are you worried that Gu Qingyuan's becoming the Crown Princess will threaten her status?" Gu Heng said mercilessly, "Uncle, my aunt is sometimes confused, you should be able to imagine that with Li Yi around, Auntie will definitely not have a day of rectification, so even if Gu Qingyuan is gone, Gu Wuxia will not be a prostitute."
