Hope for luck

Chapter 298
After hearing Gao Qiyuan finish speaking, Gao Pan was not too surprised in his heart, and his face was also very calm, and he replied indifferently:
"If so, that would be a great thing. My nephew has no other opinions. However, I would like to ask my uncle. I heard that the son of Prince Yu's mansion already had a wife. What is the identity of the elder sister who married her?"

Seeing that Gao Pan seemed very peaceful, Gao Qiyuan was slightly surprised. He originally thought that Gao Pan would react violently, at least not so calmly.

However, Gao Pan's reaction made Gao Qiyuan feel relieved, which showed that in Gao Pan's heart, he still wanted to save Gao Guangyuan, so he slowly replied:

"I won't treat your eldest sister badly, she is an equal wife, equal to a first wife!"

After Gao Pan heard this, Wei Wei wanted to laugh a little. In order to save Gao Guangyuan, they would agree to such an outrageous thing.

A flat wife is also a wife on the surface, but she is much worse than a first wife. To put it bluntly, she is still a concubine.

Besides, there is no distinction between the concubine and the concubines. If Gao Ruoqian really married in this way, it would be a great misfortune. The fight for favor in the back house is not gentle at all.

This was the case in Gao Qiyuan's own backyard, otherwise, Gao Ming and Gao Lanshu would not have fallen into such a miserable situation.

From Gao Pan's point of view, even if Gao Ruoqian wants to marry, she must be his first wife, and there is no need to consider anything else.

However, at this time, he was not in a hurry, he just nodded indifferently:
"That's fine... If there is nothing else, my nephew will leave!"

Gao Qiyuan was still waiting for Gao Pan to express his opinion, but seeing that he didn't seem to want to say anything at all, he just said yes and was about to leave, which made him startled.

Then Gao Qiyuan came to his senses and waved his hand, indicating that Gao Pan could leave on his own.

Gao Pan saluted respectfully again, and walked out of the outer study. Gao Qiyuan squinted his eyes and looked at Gao Pan's leaving back, wondering what he was thinking.

……

After leaving the outer study room, Gao Pan was not in a hurry to go back to the East Courtyard, but entered the East Kua Courtyard, which is the courtyard where Gao Qiyao's family lived, next to Baishui Hall.

It was also Gao Pan's first time stepping here after returning to Beijing for so long. Speaking of it, with Gao Ruoqian's attitude towards him, Gao Pan should have come here earlier.

However, Gao Qiyao's indifferent attitude towards him made Gao Pan subconsciously not want to come here.

If it wasn't for Gao Ruoqian's incident this time, Gao Pan would not have come to Dongkuayuan, and Gao Pan himself couldn't explain why he felt an inexplicable sense of alienation towards Gao Qiyao.

Speaking of which, brothers Gao Qiluo and Gao Qiyao were still sons of the same mother, but whether it was the previous one or Gao Pan at the moment, it seemed that they couldn't get close to the three uncles.

"Fifth Young Master?!"

As soon as Gao Pan stepped into the courtyard, some servant girls recognized him and hurriedly saluted and greeted him, while others rushed in to report.

Hearing that it was Gao Pan who came, Gao Qiyao and Mrs. Li came out to greet him, looking very enthusiastic.

But Gao Pan looked at the couple, but always felt like outsiders, not like his relatives.

On the surface, Gao Pan was still very polite, saluted the two of them, and explained the purpose of their visit. Seeing this, Gao Qiyao and his wife sighed a few times.

He also said that Gao Pan came just in time, and it would be good to help persuade Gao Ruoqian, so he asked Gao Pan to find Gao Ruoqian by himself.

After Gao Pan listened, he was not pretentious, and came along the attic in the backyard they were pointing to, with a maid leading him in front.

After entering the yard, Gao Pan followed him up to the attic, and saw Gao Ruoqian sitting alone in front of the window, staring at a certain place in a daze.

This made Gao Pan slightly touched after watching it.

"Miss, Fifth Young Master is here!"

It was the maid who reminded Gao Ruoqian that she slowly turned around and looked at Gao Pan with a miserable face.

Seeing this, Gao Pan's heart skipped a beat. Seeing her gloomy and gloomy, with tears still in his eyes, he knew that she had cried just now. His face was filled with astonishment, and he whispered:
"big sister……"

After Gao Ruoqian heard this, she suddenly burst into tears: "Fifth Brother..."

The sad look made Gao Pan even more at a loss. Knowing that men and women are very defensive, he didn't dare to get too close to Gao Ruoqian, so he had to stand where he was, and comforted in a low voice:

"Big sister, don't be sad, the younger brother is here because of this incident. If you don't want to, Gao Pan will try his best and won't let the big sister marry you..."

After hearing this, Gao Ruoqian got up and came to Gao Pan's side, weeping, looked at Gao Pan carefully, and said slowly:

"Fifth brother, how can I disobey the words of my parents and matchmaker? I just think that I will leave this house in the future, and I feel uncomfortable, as if there is no bottom..."

Hearing this, Gao Pan was secretly startled, and quickly persuaded:

"My good sister, don't lie to me and let you marry into Prince Yu's mansion, are you willing?"

Gao Ruoqian replied tremblingly:

"Whether I want to or not, it's not up to me to decide, so I have to accept my fate... Besides, two years ago, I was supposed to get married, but...just..."

When it came to the end, Gao Ruoqian seemed unwilling to speak out, which made Gao Pan's heart move, and asked quickly:

"Just what?"

Seeing this, Gao Ruoqian calmed down slightly, and said something that surprised Gao Pan.

Two years ago, Gao Ruoqian had just reached the age of Ji, in [-], when she was about to marry out of the court, and she was the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion, so many people came to see her.

Later, Gao Qiyuan and Gao Qiyao chose Qin Luobing, the son of Qin Zhangqiu, the commander of the city guard. The two families also discussed everything, and the Qin family also offered a dowry.

But on the second day of their engagement, Qin Luobing suddenly fell ill and died, and the marriage was over.

Although no one knew how Qin Luobing died, there were strange rumors later that it was Kefu, the eldest daughter of the Gao family, who died before she married into the family. This is clearly Kefu!
People at this time quite believed these nonsense, and no one dared to come to the door to say a kiss after that, until now, the son of Prince Yu's mansion seemed to intend to marry Gao Ruoqian back to the mansion.

After Gao Pan heard it, he thought it was magical. Qin Luobing died, so how could it be related to Gao Ruoqian?This can also be said in one piece, it can really be nonsense!
Gao Pan, who came from later generations, naturally does not believe these "nonsense", and also thinks that someone must want to frame Gao Ruoqian so that she cannot get married.

"Big sister, I don't believe in these things. Tell me sincerely, are you willing to marry into Prince Yu's mansion?"

Gao Pan stared at Gao Ruoqian solemnly and asked.

This made Gao Ruoqian seem a little flustered, evasive, but the tears in the corners of her eyes stopped, and she still couldn't tell why after a long time.

This made Gao Pan very anxious, and then asked:
"Good sister, just say it clearly, the younger brother will help you. If you agree to it yourself, then I have nothing to say!"

After Gao Ruoqian heard this, her body trembled slightly, and she turned her head to look at Gao Pan. Seeing his sincerity and eagerness on his face, she felt very warm in her heart. After a while, she said:

"I don't know either. My mother told me since I was a child that husbands and children are our women's life. As for marriage, I can't decide on my own. No matter who you marry, marry a chicken as a chicken, marry a dog as a dog, my husband said Whatever is what!"
