After everyone finished talking, Mrs. Guo finally understood the full meaning of what they said.

However, she cares more about her family than the court affairs.

Mrs. Guo asked: "You have said so much, but you didn't get to the point. Can King Jin become Ah Nuan's lover? If he only wants to marry Ah Nuan to use our family's power to climb up the ranks?" wife, then I do not agree to this marriage."

When Li Wenkang heard this, he immediately looked at Guo Shi with wide eyes: "Look at what you said, in your eyes, I, Li Wenkang, are the kind of people who will sell girls for glory?"

Mrs. Guo was also annoyed by Li Wenkang's words, and patted the table: "I said you are that kind of person? Why are you so anxious!"

Seeing that Mrs. Guo was angry, Li Wenkang patted his mouth and smiled apologetically, "I...I was talking too fast and said the wrong thing. Please don't be angry with me if you have a lot of madam."

As soon as Li Wenkang said that, he regretted it.

Mrs. Guo, a lady from a scholarly family, married him willingly when he was the youngest, and took care of the housework for him over the years, and even the few blood-related couples he had left in this world The relatives were all brought back with the help of Guo.

Mrs. Guo has worked hard, and put him and the children first in everything, and it is the same this time, no matter how urgent he is, he really shouldn't say that kind of thing.

Qi Qingxi came out to smooth things over. She stood up on her stomach and walked in front of Mrs. Guo, pretending to be angry and looking at Li Wenkang: "Uncle, you see that you are used to talking to your subordinates in the yamen, and you don't know how to restrain yourself when you go home."

Li Wenkang knew that his niece wanted to find him a step down, so he happily answered, "Yes, yes, I will definitely pay attention in the future. Madam is the superior, and I am the subordinate. I hope that Madam will forgive me if I don't dare to do anything wrong again. one time."

Guo snorted coldly, turned to ignore Li Wenkang.

Seeing this, Qi Qingxi took Guo Shi's hand and acted coquettishly: "Auntie, we two sisters are lucky enough to have uncle and aunt treat us like our own daughters. If the two of you are unhappy because of our affairs, then our sins will be the same. I'm growing up. Aunt, you don't have pity for uncle, you pity us too."

Gu Yu on the side quietly admired the scene in front of him.

But he is not admiring the bickering between husband and wife, but admiring his wife.

It was the first time he had seen his wife acting like a baby to his elders, she was so cute, especially the cute tone when she spoke, as if a kitten's paw was scratching lightly on the tip of his heart, there was a numb itching .

"Okay, okay." Mrs. Guo patted Qi Qingxi's hand helplessly, then turned her head and glared at Li Wenkang, "For the sake of my niece, I'll let you off this time, let's see if you dare to talk nonsense next time."

Li Wenkang smiled and raised his hands: "Don't dare, there will be no next time."

When Guo Shi heard this, he showed a slightly satisfied smile.

Guo got up and helped Qi Qingxi to sit back again, and couldn't help but mutter: "You are heavy now, take care of yourself and the baby in your stomach, and don't bother with other things if you can ignore them."

Qi Qingxi responded with a smile: "Okay."

Seeing that this matter is finally over, Qi Qingxi thought that Guo Shi had just asked if King Jin would be Ah Nuan's beloved, so she couldn't help but look at Gu Yu, originally wanting Gu Yu to talk to Guo Shi about King Jin As a human being, she saw Gu Yu staring at her fascinated.

She couldn't help frowning: "What are you staring at me for?"

Gu Yu chuckled lightly: "Madam doesn't look at me, how do you know I'm staring at you?"

Qi Qingxi glared at him with her hips on her hips: "You are trying to make excuses."

This time it was Guo Shi's turn to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, don't just finish the quarrel between us and you start again."

Qi Qingxi smiled and said: "Auntie who doesn't know, I don't want him to talk about King Jin's behavior."

Gu Yu then said: "In my opinion, this marriage is very good, especially King Jin promised to write another letter of commitment, guaranteeing that if he treats Ah Nuan badly, we can take Ah Nuan home at any time. Verbal promises are unreliable, but if there is such a letter as proof, even if he really becomes the Ninth Five-Year Supreme in the future, he cannot deny his promise."

Li Wenkang just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, when he heard Gu Yu's words, he almost spit out a mouthful of tea. He put down the teacup, stretched out his sleeve and wiped his mouth, and looked at Gu Yu regardless of Guo's disgusted eyes.

"What? What did you say? King Jin still has a letter of promise?"

Gu Yu replied: "Yes."

Hearing Gu Yu's affirmative answer, Li Wenkang couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

In his heart, the two nieces are undoubtedly the best girls in the world just like his daughter.

He knew about the matter between his eldest niece and Gu Zicong. The two had known each other in Ansui before, and then reunited in the capital, and experienced life and death together in Linzhou.

He can understand the deep relationship between Zi Cong and his eldest niece.

But as far as he knew, his little niece and King Jin hadn't even met face-to-face a few times. How could King Jin do this for Ah Nuan?

Li Wenkang's doubts were clearly written on his face, and it was hard for Qi Qingxi not to pay attention.

She said: "According to His Royal Highness King Jin, Ah Nuan once saved his life, but it is not convenient for him to say the specifics."

Guo said incredulously, "Thank you for saving my life? When did Ah Nuan save him? Besides, how can Ah Nuan save him?"

Qi Qingxi shrugged her shoulders, indicating that she couldn't figure it out either.

Several people were silent for a while, and finally Li Wenkang made a final decision: "For now, let's accept this marriage first. After all, it is the Queen Mother who ordered it. If we refuse, it will be a shame to the nobleman."

"Besides, the letter of promise that King Jin said, you must remember to let him write it down and seal it when the time comes, my eldest niece. After all, if he can't take good care of Ah Nuan then, we won't talk nonsense with him."

Qi Qingxi nodded in response, and Li Wenkang said again: "Let me repeat, Zi Cong, listen carefully. No matter how those people in the court fight for power, it is their family business. Don't interfere. Once something like this happens, the staff around you will bear the brunt."

Gu Yu stretched out his hand and bowed: "Yes, Zi Cong wrote it down."

Although he said so, he didn't think so in his heart.

There are some things that he can't easily get away from without intervening, especially the unexplainable grievances and grievances between him and King An and King Qi.

He used to take the initiative to serve as an official to avoid these grievances, but now he has to stay in the capital for his family.

However, King An and King Qi provoked him and his family again and again, and he had no choice but to fight back.

And the best way to fight back is to let them lose the power in their hands, and they no longer have the ability to act, so that he can feel relieved.
