"I don't! Why?! I should have the final say on who I want to marry, why should I let others make the decision!"
Seeing that Prime Minister Gu was so angry that he covered his chest again, Gu Baiyu quickly stepped forward and stopped him: "Dad, let me talk to my sister."
When Gu Ruanruan saw her, he gritted his teeth in hatred, and his eyes were full of unwillingness: "Are you happy now? You are willing to marry blindly and become an ignorant housewife, and now you want to drag me down!"
"And brother Ruoyun, I thought he was different from you! Who knew he also gave in!"
Gu Baiyu's tone was calm: "He is not surrendering, but he is more responsible than you. Marriage is granted by the imperial decree, and resistance will involve the whole family. If you run away, you will be at peace. Have you ever thought about your parents?"
"I was forced by you! Have you ever asked me for my opinion?"
Gu Baiyu suddenly laughed: "Then when you asked him to take me to elope, did you ask for my opinion?"
"I...I don't care!" Gu Ruanruan was still insisting: "I want to marry the person I like!"
Mrs. Gu finally couldn't help it any longer, she raised her hand and slapped Gu Ruanruan, who was always gentle!
"Not to mention that your misbehavior almost brought down the whole family. Now, everyone knows that you stayed in the brothel for a few days. Do you think any other man in the world would want you?!"
Hearing this, Gu Ruanruan finally panicked.
The disappointed eyes of parents, the disdain and pointing fingers from everyone at the brothel door...
She just wants to pursue her own happiness, is she really wrong?
Mrs. Gu was extremely disappointed: "Don't talk about others, first think about whether Xiao Ruoyun still wants you... A woman whose reputation has been ruined can't even be considered a concubine..."
Gu Ruanruan was really scared now, "No, brother Ruoyun is different from you..."
Seeing this, Gu Baiyu shook his head and left with the two elders, letting Gu Ruanruan calm down.
Back in his bedroom, Gu Ruanruan rubbed the dagger and lowered his eyes.
Perhaps, Gu Ruanruan should be allowed to recognize the reality and what kind of world she lives in, otherwise sooner or later, she will bring disaster to the Prime Minister's Mansion!
The next morning, the first thing Gu Baiyu did when he woke up was to instruct the housekeeper to evacuate all the maids and servants serving Gu Ruanruan.
The housekeeper just thought that Gu Baiyu was dissatisfied with Gu Ruanruan's actions yesterday, so he didn't ask any more questions.
After finishing this matter, Gu Baiyu accompanied Mrs. Gu to have breakfast. As soon as the breakfast was over, he saw Prime Minister Gu returning happily.
"Yu'er, your wedding date is set! The eighth day of next month!"
Gu Baiyu was slightly startled, wouldn't it be only half a month?
She was a little surprised, "How could it be so fast?
Prime Minister Gu couldn't hide the smile on his face, "It's not because you have good taste, Yu'er, that you have chosen a good husband!"
Prime Minister Gu and Gu Baiyu talked about what happened in the court today.
Gu Ruanruan made such a fuss yesterday, and it finally spread.
Above the court, there were even officials under the second prince who had read several books of Prime Minister Gu.
However, Xiao Yanlin tried his best to speak for Prime Minister Gu at this time. Even when the emperor asked him if he needed to cancel the engagement, he refused without hesitation.
"Oh! Didn't you see how resolute the Marquis of Zhenbei was at that time? He told His Majesty that he wanted to set a wedding date as soon as possible and marry you in, so that you would not be disturbed by rumors!"
"This Kyoto, I don't know how many women would envy you!"
Gu Baiyu's face felt hot after hearing this, but she was secretly happy in her heart.
Because the wedding was approaching and after breakfast, Mrs. Gu asked the servants in the palace to bring out all the dowry prepared in the storehouse and list them one by one.
She was checking the booklet one by one when she heard Gu Ruanruan's voice coming from outside the hospital.
"Sister! Why did you send away all the maids and servants around me? Hey, what is this? Isn't this my dowry?"
Gu Baiyu glanced at him: "Not anymore."
Originally, Mrs. Gu treated her two daughters equally, but people's hearts are full of flesh. She did these ridiculous things, which angered Mrs. Gu, so she decided to follow normal etiquette.
Gu Baiyu closed the book and said, "I am a direct descendant and a matchmaker, and you are a concubine. According to the rules, you do not have a dowry."
"Why? We are all the children of our father and mother. Am I inferior just because I am a commoner?"
"Yes, just because you are a concubine. Do you still want to tell me that everyone is equal? In this case, you don't need to ask me about my maid and servant. They are equal to you, why should they serve you? Someone come! Send the second lady back to her room to rest."
After Gu Ruanruan was forcibly taken away, Gu Baiyu's ears finally became quiet.
However, Gu Ruanruan was not destined to be the kind of person who would give in easily. After she was sent back to the room by the housekeeper, she sneaked out of the house while others were not paying attention.
She is going to find Xiao Ruoyun!
Even if she has to marry Xiao Ruoyun, she still has other ways not to give in to the world!
However, when she left the Prime Minister's Mansion and walked on the street, she realized that everything was different.
From the moment she left the house, people had been secretly looking at her and pointing fingers at her.
"That's her? The second young lady of the Prime Minister's Palace. How many days did she stay in the brothel?"
"Oh my god? Really? In a place like a brothel, girls from good families won't go near it. How could she..."
"How can this be false? Everyone on the street saw it! Prime Minister Gu personally dragged him out of the brothel!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, pity the second young master of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, he's already wearing a cuckold before he even gets married, haha!"
……
Even if Gu Ruanruan is a modern person, he is blushing with embarrassment because of these words!
She ran to the gate of Zhenbei Hou's Mansion, trying to find Xiao Ruoyun, but was stopped by the concierge, "The Marquis said he was missing!"
"I'm not looking for Mr. Hou, I'm looking for brother Ruoyun! Tell him I'm here and ask him to come see me!"
The concierge couldn't bear it anymore, "Miss Gu, please stop this! Our second young master is still willing to fulfill his engagement with you, which is already considered generous!"
As the concierge was talking, Xiao Ruoyun walked out.
Gu Ruanruan's eyes lit up, "Brother Ruoyun! I have something to discuss with you!"
She couldn't wait to take out the two pieces of paper she had written on.
"Brother Xiao Ruoyun, a marriage without an emotional foundation will not be happy! Our engagement cannot be changed. I want to sign a marriage agreement with you before we get married. Before you and I understand each other, we will not consummate the marriage and respect each other. !
Of course, this agreement is valid for both of us. If you don’t want to in the future, I won’t force you! "
Xiao Ruoyun looked at Gu Ruanruan who was chattering in front of him, and suddenly felt that she was very strange.
In the past, he thought Gu Ruanruan was clever and cute. He often told him some beautiful things that he had never heard of before, and often mentioned to him the equality of all living beings.
He felt that Gu Baiyu had unique ideas and great love, but after experiencing these things, he couldn't help but waver in his previous thoughts...
Xiao Ruoyun felt discouraged as he listened to the unfamiliar words and strange thoughts in her mouth.
"Okay, I promise you, I'll sign."
Seeing that Prime Minister Gu was so angry that he covered his chest again, Gu Baiyu quickly stepped forward and stopped him: "Dad, let me talk to my sister."
When Gu Ruanruan saw her, he gritted his teeth in hatred, and his eyes were full of unwillingness: "Are you happy now? You are willing to marry blindly and become an ignorant housewife, and now you want to drag me down!"
