On the day of leaving, the old lady asked those people: "Where are you taking him?"

"The old marquis found a master for the third young master. The master is a hermit who only accepts the third young master."

The old lady didn't feel sad when the carriage left, because she didn't like her youngest son from the bottom of her heart.

Maybe it's because his ten fingers are unusually long when stretched out.

The old marquis doted on the third son too much and neglected the eldest and second sons. The old marquis always beat and scolded the eldest son for not living up to his expectations and called the second son a coward.

But Gu Boyu was her first child, so she still valued her eldest son more.

During the ten years since he left home, Gu Shaoyu would write a letter every year to express his safety. When the letter delivery person asked about Gu Shaoyu's situation, the old lady would be informed.

The Third Master has grown taller!

The third master passed the examination and became a student.

The third master passed the examination and became a scholar.

Third Master...

It was not until ten years later that Gu Shaoyu returned to take the imperial examination and became famous overnight, rising rapidly from the top scholar to a cabinet minister.

The old lady never worried at all.

Perhaps he was not raised by her side since birth. The old lady was just proud of Gu Shaoyu's growing power and had no feelings for him at all.

Thinking of this, the old lady felt a little ashamed.

Aunt Zhi was speechless. Her eldest sister seemed to have too strong a sense of superiority in front of the old marquis.

Back then, the old marquis was just a farmer in their Ouyang countryside. After his family members starved to death, he joined the army and later became a captain. When he returned to his hometown, the village sponsor was attracted by his honesty and married his daughter to him, who is now the old marquis's wife.

The old marquis fought his way through and by the time he was named a brave general, his two sons were already in their teens.

The old marquis bought a small courtyard in the capital and brought the three of them from his hometown in Ouyang to the capital.

As early as in Ouyang, the county magistrate of Ouyang, Tu, took the initiative to find a matchmaker to marry his legitimate daughter, Tu, to Gu Boyu.

In the third year after they arrived in Kyoto, Tu and Gu Boyu got married.

In his hometown, a general of the fourth rank could walk around with all his might, but in Kyoto, he couldn't even get a chance. The old lady was deeply dissatisfied with marrying a rough man.

The old lady never thought that the man would be granted a title of nobility one day.

In the second year after Zhou Shaoyu was born, the brave general was conferred the title of Marquis of Pingyang. Later, the old marquis died while saving the old grandfather of the Xie family. From then on, the Xie family supported the Marquis's family in many ways and promised to marry their legitimate daughter to the family. Only then did the Marquis's family of Pingyang finally get close to the Beijing circle.

Otherwise, why would the Marquis’ Mansion be invited to any flower party?

After hearing what the old lady said, several aunts and cousins-in-law felt that their trip might have been in vain.

There is no affection between mother and son. Why should Gu Shaoyu take care of outsiders like them?

The old lady snorted when she saw the disdain on their faces.

"Don't be depressed. No matter what, the third brother is my son. I gave birth to him, and the old marquis raised him. He would never do anything to disobey me."

"I told him yesterday to find some work for my nephews and nephews' great-nephews, and he agreed."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of several aunts immediately lit up and they rushed to compliment the old lady.

"Big sister, you've worked so hard."

"Your nephew will definitely be filial to you."

"Let your niece's wife take care of you in the future, and let them both show their filial piety to aunt."

For a time, the aunt and sister-in-law had a deep affection for each other.

Miss Zhi San, Zhi Meimei, suddenly ran over in a hurry and whispered a few words into the second aunt's ear, and the second aunt's face turned stern.

"Sister, I didn't sleep well these two days in the Marquis' Mansion. I'll go back and take a nap first?" Aunt Zhi said goodbye to the old lady with a smile.

"Many people are used to their own beds when they sleep, and they can't sleep in a different bed." The old lady also told Taxue, "See my second sister-in-law off."

Aunt Zhi shook her hand and refused with a smile: "No, it's only a few steps away, I can go back by myself."

I hurried to the lakeside and saw a secluded place where Uncle Zhi was blocking a woman's way, laughing sinisterly and talking nonsense.

"Little girl, you are not young anymore, are you? Why would you want to be a servant? It would be great if you could follow the master, wear gold and silver, and be the master!"

"Uncle, you can't do this. I am still young!"

"Small? Oh my goodness, you still call this small? Tsk..."

The woman was obviously a maid. There was a wall behind her, a tree on her left, and the lake on her right. She had nowhere to go. Seeing his hands wandering around, she said anxiously, "Uncle, please respect yourself."

"Whether it's heavy or not, you'll know if you try it."

"Don't come over here. If you come over here again, I will, I will shout..."

"Shout, shout, the louder the better." Uncle Zhi grabbed the woman's chin and touched her face, "It's so slippery!"

Just when the woman was in despair, Zhi's second aunt arrived and angrily said, "What is the master doing?"

Uncle Zhi didn't expect there was someone there. He turned around and saw that it was his wife. The woman took advantage of the moment when Uncle Zhi turned around, squatted down quickly, covered her face, and ran away quickly.

Aunt Zhi was furious and anxious, and cursed in a low voice: "Even if the master is so hungry, he should know that this is the Marquis' Mansion. Has the master forgotten how he came to the capital?"

"shut up!"

"Master, Baiju's future is about to be ruined in your hands. Can you restrain yourself for the sake of your descendants? I beg you!"

In Ouyang, relying on the fact that his father was a juren, his eldest nephew was the Marquis of Pingyang, and his third nephew was a cabinet minister, Uncle Zhi was so bold that he slept with the granddaughter of the village head.

This was not the first or second time that he had violated the innocence of other women. The village head was so angry that he reported the matter to the county magistrate, who turned out to be a member of Tu's family.

The lawsuit could not be won, and the headman's wife brought her daughter-in-law with her, beating drums and gongs, and scolding the family members so much that they could not leave the house.

The head of the village also spread the word that if the county magistrate did not drive out Uncle Zhi's family, he would go to the capital to file a complaint and deprive Uncle Zhi's youngest son Zhi Baiju of his title of scholar.

Complaint?

The Zhi family was frightened and after discussing everything, they all went to the capital.

Before leaving, they also spread the word that Lord Gu invited them, the uncles, to live in Kyoto in their old age.

The head of the village was so angry that he vomited blood. He could only grit his teeth and swallow the blood. Who asked the other person to be so powerful?

Unexpectedly, just a few days after entering the Marquis' Mansion, Uncle Zhi's old illness recurred!

Aunt Zhi Er was anxious and angry. She slapped Uncle Zhi Er hard and cried, "If you had restrained yourself a little, we wouldn't have to stay in the Marquis' Mansion like this, being scolded by a child and being shameless."

After being slapped, Uncle Zhi was furious. He pushed Aunt Zhi to the ground and slapped her twice, cursing, "You stinky bitch, you are so rebellious! Why should I look for someone? It's all because of you. You are old, ugly and disgusting!"

This place is remote, and Uncle Zhi and his wife originally thought that few people would pass by. However, they did not expect that Mo Yan was digging water chestnuts by the lake today, so they heard everyone coming.

When he first heard his second uncle molesting a girl, he was about to jump up and expose it, but suddenly he realized it was Chun Ling, so he lay down behind the lotus leaves without saying a word, listening to what they were doing.

They were flirting with each other and he wet his pants listening to them. He almost wanted to throw a stone at them when his second aunt Zhi came and, listening to them, she heard something else.

Didn't this family come here to take advantage of the situation? Were they driven out of their hometown?
