"Are these things you, a woman, should consider?"

Faced with her little daughter's lack of care, Mrs. Gu only felt that she could not make steel: "You haven't even understood your own marriage, and you still think about the prosperity of the family? Your father and I's greatest hope is that you two are safe and sound. , that is the greatest prosperity!”

Gu Ruanruan still wanted to argue, but Gu Baiyu saw Mrs. Gu reaching out to cover her chest again, and quickly said: "Mom, don't worry, let me persuade my sister."

After saying that, he glanced at Gu Ruanruan and motioned for her to follow him to a carriage.

Gu Ruanruan followed Gu Baiyu out of the carriage and went to another one.

The carriage had already set off back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, wandering along the way.

Gu Baiyu specifically ordered Lingyu to send away all the servants around him, and the driver was replaced by a secret guard who was secretly protecting him.

Everyone left. Gu Baiyu looked at Gu Ruanruan who looked unconvinced and spoke slowly.

"It's not worth it. You're not that stupid person. It's impossible for the second prince to give you a dowry just because he's predestined with you. You know, this is unreasonable."

Gu Ruanruan was silent.

How could she not know.

But during this period of time, the gap between her and Gu Baiyu had gradually widened, like a chasm. How could she, a person who had always been proud, be willing to admit defeat so easily?

She didn't want to admit her failure, nor did she want to watch herself lose to an ancient woman!

"So what? It doesn't matter who has the say in this world. Since the second prince has his own plans, I don't mind having the merit of following the dragon in the future."

As soon as the words fell, both of them were stunned.

Gu Baiyu was surprised.

She was surprised that Gu Ruanruan, a woman who grew up peacefully in the back house and had no worries about food and clothing, could have such an idea. It was too shocking.

Gu Ruanruan was excited.

When she said those words, she suddenly felt enlightened.

Yes, she knew how much knowledge she had in her chest, which was a treasure that left these ancient people far behind.

That knowledge is only used to please the wife in the back house and her husband. It is a waste of resources!

She was born different, how could she only focus on this one-third of an acre of land in the back house?

Gu Ruanruan even complained a little in her heart. It must be that the back house of the Prime Minister's Mansion was too comfortable, which made her lose her lofty ambitions.

Once you have such ambition in your heart, everything changes going forward.

Her eyes could no longer just focus on things in the back house.

"Sister, I was just talking nonsense!"

Gu Ruanruan looked panicked: "Really! What I just talked about is nonsense. If someone hears talking about the future throne, he will be beheaded, right?"

Her acting was so realistic that Gu Baiyu couldn't tell the truth from the lie for a moment.

But Gu Ruanruan was right, this kind of thing should not be discussed by women in the back house.

"You know it yourself, don't say such words again in the future. If others hear it, it could be as big as implicate the family, or as small as dad being impeached by the official... Also, what do you think about the Second Prince's incident today? of?"

Gu Ruanruan's eyes evaded: "I, of course I hope to get married in a beautiful way, sister, I know I was wrong, please don't make me look too ugly on my wedding day, okay?"

Gu Baiyu felt a headache. If he really went too far and forced Gu Ruanruan towards the second prince, it would be really dangerous.

Gu Baiyu pondered for a moment and said, "I'll go back and discuss it with my mother. Don't worry. But the Second Prince..."

Gu Ruanruan said quickly: "I will never associate with him again!"

But if the second prince insisted on giving away the dowry, there was nothing she could do.

After all, she is still just a weak woman who lives in the back house.

How could she have the right to refuse something the prince insisted on sending?

She lowered her eyes and let Gu Baiyu's appraising eyes wander around her body.

Finally, Gu Baiyu said, "You have a good rest on the carriage, I'll go see my mother."

After that, he got off the carriage.

Lingyu had been waiting by her side. When she saw Gu Baiyu coming down, she quickly went to help her: "Miss, shall we go to Madam's carriage?"

Gu Baiyu shook his head: "No, the carriage where the scriptures are placed is not empty. Let's go to that carriage."

Gu Baiyu took a carriage by herself. After everyone had left, she glanced thoughtfully in the direction of Gu Ruanruan's carriage through the curtain.

She was not wrong about the ambition in Gu Ruan Ruan's eyes just now.

Now, in addition to being wary of the second prince, he also had to be wary of this sister from another world.

No matter how well Gu Ruanruan pretended just now, she could not hide the trembling in her voice when she said the words "The power of the dragon".

That's not fear at all, but ambition.

Gu Baiyu lowered her eyes, maybe she should tell Prime Minister Gu about this.

In fact, there was no need for Gu Baiyu to say much. Prime Minister Gu knew about it on the day he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Naturally, he was furious.

Prime Minister Gu didn't even want to arrange the wedding for Gu Ruanruan. He bluntly said that it was just a concubine, wrapped in a piece of red cloth and sent to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion in a small sedan.

But if only things were that simple.

"Dad, it can't be done. If this is true, wouldn't it be true for the second prince's rumor that my sister has been wronged in the palace? It will also be bad for your reputation."

Prime Minister Gu sighed.

Gu Ruanruan was not here at this moment, and she and Gu Baiyu also told some truths.

"The second prince is acting strangely. Ruan Ruan is a woman with no power. How can she let a dignified prince be so persistent in helping her? I'm afraid it's not to win over the Prime Minister's Palace, but has other plans!"

"So dad, we can't make things too extreme. At least before we get married, we can't separate her from the family."

"What do you want?" Prime Minister Gu asked.

"Dad, don't worry, leave it to me."

Gu Baiyu was not going to compromise.

She knew Gu Ruanruan's character very well. As long as she gave in, the other party would be aggressive or even intimidating.

It was like this in her last life. She tolerated it for a while, but what she was waiting for was endless advancement.

"You can give me a dowry, but if you don't have good fortune, that's up to you."

Gu Baiyu will not be soft on Gu Ruanruan.

Because she touched her bottom line——

Before, it was her most important innocence as a woman;

Now it is her family and parents that matter most to her.

If Gu Ruanruan is allowed to continue like this, sooner or later his family will be affected. His parents are already old, and Gu Baiyu cannot bear any mistakes made by his parents.

After coming out of Prime Minister Gu's study, Gu Baiyu called Lingyu.

"Go and get the directory from the warehouse."

After giving the instructions, he knocked on Gu Ruanruan's door again.

"Don't you want a dowry? Let's go to the warehouse and I'll give it to you."
