Gu Ruanruan's letter to the second prince was not confidential, it was just a "touching" letter for help.

Gu Ruanruan burst into tears in her heart, and described in great detail the various grievances she had suffered recently, including how she was "set up" by Gu Baiyu to marry the concubine of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion as a concubine, and how she was obviously the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although there is a difference between a direct descendant and a common concubine, the Prime Minister's House has a strong family, but it suppresses her, an innocent concubine, in the matter of dowry.

She even told how she had not been welcomed as a concubine in the Prime Minister's Mansion over the years, and how she had been embarrassed by Gu Baiyu, the legitimate daughter, in the past few days, and even invited the maids in the palace to come and tease her.

This letter was so eloquent that it almost portrayed Gu Ruanruan himself as a poor little man who had lost his mother in the inner house, was suppressed by the head mother and his eldest sister, and was in a miserable situation.

Gu Ruanruan's original intention was to make a fuss about her difficult life in the Prime Minister's house. He wanted to win sympathy, and he also wanted to make a fuss about Prime Minister Gu's preference for "family matters".

It's just that Gu Ruanruan is a housewife after all, and she doesn't understand the intrigues above the court.

She just wanted to teach Prime Minister Gu and Gu Baiyu a lesson so that others would know that she was not someone to be trifled with.

But she had no idea how much there was in her letter that the Second Prince's staff could make a fuss about.

First of all, Gu Ruanruan mentioned her speaking out, and even mentioned her mother whom she had never met before. This suddenly involved Prime Minister Gu's apology for spending a good night with a brothel girl.

Although this incident was praised as a "good talk" at the time, it actually caused a lot of unpleasantness in the court.

Of course, in this dynasty, it was common sense for a man to have three wives and four concubines. When you are the prime minister, you love your wife and the courtiers do not object, which is a good reputation.

But if you make this matter cause a storm in the city, how will these courtiers with three wives and four concubines deal with themselves?

It doesn't matter if he is scolded by the emperor, but his ears will be pulled by the principal wife when he returns home!

It is no exaggeration to say that after Prime Minister Gu's incident came out, many people did not even dare to mention concubinage in a short period of time, for fear of being impeached and being scolded by their wives.

Now that old things are brought up again, the second prince has a lot to write about!

Secondly, there was the matter of Gu Ruanruan being called by the imperial concubine to have sex with her.

The second prince's mother-in-law and Zhou Guifei are both in the harem. The women in the harem all dislike each other. Zhou Guifei is smart. She has been in the harem like a fish in water over the years. No one has gotten anything wrong. It can be said that it has been smooth sailing. It's too much, let the second prince's mother-in-law also secretly crush a silver tooth.

Nowadays, a noble concubine in the palace suddenly gets involved in other people's family affairs. Is this reasonable?

At a very small scale, Concubine Zhou is just a dog meddling in other people's business. At a more serious level, a noble concubine has reached out to other people's homes and even allowed her own maid to dominate other people's homes. Is this noble concubine a good person? Too much power? Is it too domineering?

The harem is already sensitive, and even the slightest untimely move can lead to a conspiracy!

This is something that the second prince’s mother-in-law can use to make a fuss about Concubine Zhou!

As for Gu Ruanruan being suppressed, it has become the most trivial matter!

The second prince was even more happy after hearing the analysis from his staff.

"Then, should I report this matter to my father as soon as possible? Or should I endure it any longer? Do you have any good opinions?"

The staff were naturally willing to make suggestions, and the advice they gave was to wait for Xiao Yan to take a rest and prepare for the wedding. When he was not in court, he ordered people to impeach Prime Minister Gu.

In this way, even Xiao Yanlin's shocking betrothal gift today might be able to make some articles!

On the day of the wedding, the second prince was helping Gu Ruanruan, the poor concubine, and she could also gain a good reputation.

As a result, both Prime Minister Gu and the Marquis of Zhenbei will suffer...

Gu Ruanruan didn't know what kind of disturbance her letter would cause in the court. She was immersed in jealousy and hatred and couldn't extricate herself.

Xiao Yanlin in the front yard delivered the betrothal gift, sat there for a while, then said goodbye and left.

After he left, relatives and friends at home also left one after another. Prime Minister Gu and his wife called Gu Baiyu to talk for a while.

When Gu Baiyu saw the happy faces of his parents, he knew that they were extremely satisfied with Xiao Yanlin. When he mentioned today's betrothal gift, he showed a little shyness like a little girl.

"Yu'er did not misjudge the person, Zhenbei Hou is really a good boy!"

Mrs. Gu looked pleased, took Gu Baiyu's hand and said, "Mother has seen how much he cares and values ​​you. After you get married, you should take good care of your husband and raise your children."

Of course Gu Baiyu agreed. Not only that, but when Prime Minister Gu also started to praise Xiao Yanlin, he felt proud from the bottom of his heart.

This is the person she chose, she didn’t choose the wrong person!

The family is in harmony, and the servants in the family are also happy to meet such a happy event. Today, Prime Minister Gu ordered to reward all the servants on duty!

Only Gu Ruanruan remained silent and acted a little weird.

While Gu Baiyu was talking to Mrs. Gu, he paid attention to Gu Ruanruan's expression.

Xiao Yanlin was too high-profile today. Gu Baiyu thought that with such a comparison, Gu Ruanruan would cause trouble again, so he kept waiting to see her reaction.

However, unexpectedly, Gu Ruanruan acted very calmly.

It was so calm, so calm that Gu Baiyu even noticed something was wrong.

So after Mrs. Gu pulled Gu Baiyu to talk a lot and finally left, Gu Baiyu immediately called the secret guards arranged by Xiao Yanlin around her.

"What's Gu Ruanruan doing today?"

The secret guard immediately told Gu Baiyu that Gu Ruanruan had contacted the second prince again.

There were no outsiders at this moment, so Lingyu asked worriedly: "What is the second young lady going to do? Is she asking the second prince to add a dowry for her, just like you, young lady?"

Gu Baiyu shook his head, how could it be possible? The betrothal gift and the extra "dowry" sent by the young lady were probably not worth the money the second prince had received.

After all, the second prince is just a young prince. Even though he has received some rewards, he has no real political achievements and he has always spent money lavishly. How could he be compared to reminiscing about the past?

And Gu Baiyu felt that it was impossible for him to do this for a "sworn sister".

Gu Baiyu felt vaguely uneasy. She didn't know where this uneasiness came from, and it made her uneasy.

Xiao Yanlin sent Gu Baiyu's secret guard, who was not only excellent at martial arts, but also good at observing people's emotions. Seeing that Gu Baiyu looked wrong, he immediately said: "If Miss Gu is worried, you might as well let us tell the news to Mr. Hou, maybe Mr. Hou can investigate Find out what the second prince and the second lady are plotting."

"Is that okay? But the letter should have been sent to the second prince, right? Maybe he has read it and destroyed it."

The secret guard immediately said: "The Marquis has some secrets around the second prince, you can try it."

Gu Baiyu was shocked when he heard this. He immediately looked around, looking a little anxious: "How can you tell others this kind of thing casually? What if someone hears it? What if I..."

"The Marquis said that Miss Gu is one of our own, and the Marquis can tell you everything."

Gu Baiyu had nothing to say now, "Then you tell him and let him be on guard. If you really can't find out, don't alert the snake. What doesn't matter to me is just the back house, which is just a matter of face." The problem is, don’t put the Marquis in danger because of this.”

After seeing off the secret guard, Gu Baiyu's uneasiness eased a little. Because he had been nervous all day and hadn't eaten much, he realized he was a little hungry now.

She was about to tell Lingyu and the others to come over when she saw Lingyu looking straight at her.

Gu Baiyu was startled: "What's wrong with you?"

Lingyu spoke, her tone was envious and a little bit sour: "Miss, I know that the young lady and the Marquis are in love. You don't need to be nervous when you just heard the Marquis' secret. I haven't seen you look so alert for a long time. ..."

Gu Baiyu blushed a little: "Is it obvious?"

Lingyu nodded vigorously: "It couldn't be more obvious. He looks very concerned. Wait until the secret guard reports to Lord Ming later. He may be very moved."
