Marry a concubine? Reborn to move out of the mansion and marry a general
Chapter 223: Sacrifice for Justice
"That's all my nonsense!"
Facing the three judges, Gu Jiusi tried his best to defend himself: "When I entered the door, I saw the eldest lady of the Tang family shouting and yelling for war. In a hurry, I made up a lie. Look how anxious you are!"
"I really didn't lie to you. I just followed what Miss Tang said. What Pei family? How would I know them?"
"Don't you know the tempers of your grandparents? Such a big thing as an engagement will definitely be told to you!"
"Really, it's really a lie, please believe me!"
Gu Feiwan said nothing, just looked at him with heavy eyes.
Gu Shian has always been the most unforgiving with his mouth, but at this moment he pursed his lips tightly, but his eyes were full of emotions, causing Gu Jiusi to swallow hard!
It’s hard to fool his younger brothers and sisters at home. Who understands the pain of being the eldest brother?
"Ali, go find Anran and help look after the baby. I'll come find you later." Gu Shian whispered to Ali.
Ali nodded, and when she left, she gave Gu Jiusi a sympathetic look that said "hold on".
Gu Jiusi wanted to cry but had no tears!
After sending Ali away, Gu Shian is going to get serious!
"Brother, sit down and talk!"
"I won't sit down!" Gu Jiusi refused subconsciously, and quickly made up for it: "There is really something going on in the government office, I have to go over and take a look."
Gu Shian had already pressed his shoulder: "Don't worry, how can you finish your work? You have been very diligent. We two brothers haven't sat down and chatted for a long time. Let's have a good chat today!"
"Sister, are there enough candles in the house?" Gu Shian asked.
Gu Feiwan nodded: "Even if it's until this day next year, it will be enough!"
"Well, I am relieved that my sister can manage the household!" Gu Shian said with relief: "Brother, don't feel sorry for the money. The Gu family earned so much money just to spend it."
"not me……"
The more Gu Shian downplayed the issue and the less he got on the subject, the more nervous Gu Jiusi became.
Ning Weizhou called the servants over and said, "Bring a soft couch and put a thick silk quilt on it. Tell the kitchen not to close the stove tonight and bring the food here anytime you cook it."
"Brother, Fei Wan is still in confinement. If we can keep our conversation short, we can go to bed early. If you want to talk more, Fei Wan will have to suffer. We can only spend the night on the couch!"
Ning Weizhou had just finished speaking when Gu Feiwan propped up his chin and said, "It's okay. I slept too much during the day, so I'll be energetic at night!"
Gu Jiusi's face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd!
He had planned something so rarely, but his brother and sister-in-law saw through it at once. The feeling of failure was so intense!
"The Minister of Industry's family did invite a matchmaker to come to their house..." Gu Jiusi hesitated and said only one sentence.
Gu Shian took it over: "The person they want is me!"
The tone was calm, but certain.
Gu Jiusi could only nod: "Yes, but..."
"Grandpa and grandma won't agree to it!"
"Yes, my family did not agree..."
"But this time the Anping River embankment burst, someone will definitely report me!"
"Yes, there are many impeachment memorials, but..."
"You are afraid that the marriage between the Minister of Works and me will fail, and you will make things difficult for me!"
"Of course. His family came to our house at this time, which is clearly a threat..."
"So you took the blame for this marriage on yourself!"
"You can't say it's stingy. I'm going to get married anyway, so it doesn't matter who I marry."
This time, Gu Jiusi finally had time to say something complete. Taking advantage of Gu Shian's silence, Gu Jiusi added one more sentence:
"The Gu family has been blessed by God. My sister has married the man of her dreams, and you, my second brother, have found someone you love. If I find another soulmate, I'm afraid God will be jealous! Hehehe!"
"The Pei family has only one girl. I have heard of her. She has a good reputation and is said to be quite talented!" Gu Feiwan searched for information about the Pei family's daughter from his memories of both lives.
“Look, second brother, even my sister said that the daughter of the Pei family is a good person. This marriage is not bad!”
Before he could finish his words, Gu Jiusi got a cold look from Gu Feiwan!
"I only said that she has some talent. When did I say she is a good person?" Gu Feiwan turned sideways.
In her previous life, she had met Miss Pei once. Although Shen Zhili had married a concubine at that time, the female relatives of each family would hold a banquet, and the name "Xie Feiwan" was written on the invitation.
Gu Feiwan recalled that at that time, the daughter of the Pei family married a new noble in the court. She was also well-known for her talent and was very popular. Many ladies and young ladies would go to greet her and become familiar with her.
However, behind the scenes, many ladies who knew about the situation said that Miss Pei was not kind to her old lady.
Because Pei Qianjin's husband's family was not prominent. They were just merchants in the past. Later, they gave birth to a scholar who finally passed the imperial examination. Then they moved to the capital with their family.
But the current emperor likes to employ young people, and this upstart is quite favored by the emperor. The old ministers in the court all say that he has a bright future!
Many families wanted to marry into the family, but the Pei family got there first.
Although the Pei family is only a minister, they have been officials in the capital for generations, so their connections are naturally far better than those of the new rich.
The marriage between the two parties is considered to be equally matched and well-matched.
However, Pei Qianjin couldn't stand her husband's parents and family members. She always felt that these people were petty!
Gu Feiwan still remembered that a lady said that Miss Pei not only did not have to follow the rules of a daughter-in-law, but the old lady also prepared breakfast herself every day and brought it to Miss Pei's room!
"Even if the mother-in-law is kind and doesn't need to set rules, how can it be reasonable for the mother-in-law to serve her daughter-in-law?"
"This is still a small matter. I heard that the daughter of the Pei family wants to find a good marriage for her father-in-law!"
"Where did this come from? Are we asking the father-in-law to divorce his wife and marry another? This is simply outrageous!"
"Didn't the Marquis of Weiwu Mansion also marry his concubine as his second wife? It was a marriage granted by the Emperor!"
"To be honest, it is said that the daughter of the Pei family has set her eyes on the old lady of the Weiwu Marquis's Mansion!"
"Is there such a thing?"
Gu Feiwan didn't listen to the rest. Her temper had been worn down to the point where she was just timid and submissive.
After hearing these rumors, I felt very panicked, as if I had done something shameful and was discovered. I no longer had the courage to listen and just turned around and left!
When Gu Feiwan recalled this, he sighed deeply. What a pity!
If it were now, how could she let go of such exciting gossip?
You must go there in person, sit down, and listen while drinking tea!
Hearing Gu Feiwan's heavy sigh, Gu Shian asked:
"Sister, is there something seriously wrong with Miss Pei?"
Gu Feiwan nodded heavily: "I heard that she has a hobby of marrying widows from wealthy families as concubines for her elders!"
The three men in the hall, no matter how knowledgeable and self-important they were, were still shocked with their eyes wide open and their jaws dropped!
"Brother, my uncle doesn't have the courage to do that, right?" Gu Feiwan asked caringly.
