Reborn to be replaced, remarried to the royal palace to raise children and train husband
Chapter 85 Old things
Sheng Mimi wanted to see Gu Qinlan in distress, so she insisted, "In that case, let someone invite Aunt Gu. But I want to make it clear in advance that if you dare to use your status to suppress others, don't blame me for being rude."
When her maid heard this, she hurriedly pulled her sleeve and said anxiously, "Miss, don't be impulsive."
The eldest daughter of the Gu family now has a different status than before. Although she has not been granted an imperial decree, her status is well-deserved. To be honest, the girl in their family has violated a taboo.
Sheng Mimi impatiently waved away the maid's hand, "Go and ask Aunt Gu to come over, immediately!"
The maid could not disobey her order and had to leave with a sad face.
Today's farce was obviously caused by her daughter's unreasonable behavior. How could her daughter have the right to interfere in the private affairs between the Gu sisters? Moreover, the eldest daughter of the Gu family was already the noble wife of the prince, and it was not someone her daughter could easily offend. Why did her daughter have to get involved in this insignificant matter?
Today's disaster seemed inevitable. When she returned to the mansion, she and the maids who came with the girl would probably not be spared.
Sheng Mimi's personal maid was as pale as paper, but she did not dare to disobey her master's will in the slightest, so she hurriedly found Song.
Song was busy entertaining a group of officials and their wives in the courtyard. When she heard Sheng Mimi's call, especially about Gu Qinlian's dowry, she replied, "I'm busy with work at the moment and can't leave. Let's talk later."
The little maid's eyes were red with anxiety, and her voice was trembling: "Madam Gu, please make sure to go. This matter involves the eldest daughter of the Gu family."
She hoped that the Song family would step forward and fight for a chance of improvement for their girl.
Upon hearing this, Song immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, so she stood up and said, "Then I will go with you. Ladies, please allow me to leave for now."
The officials' wives showed great interest in this matter: "Is the Crown Prince's wife here too? Let's go over and say hello together."
Gu Qinlan's status was obviously higher than theirs. The Zheng family's second wife used to be in charge of socializing, but after the second wife unfortunately died for love, the Zheng family remarried and the Zheng family fell into a period of mourning. Therefore, the Zheng family has not been involved in social occasions for three years.
Now, with the third wife of the Zheng family coming in, they finally have the opportunity to establish connections with the Zheng family.
Song had no choice but to lead several officials' wives to Gu Qinlian's residence.
Along the way, Sheng Mimi's maid wanted to appeal to Song, hoping to persuade her to help persuade Sheng Mimi, but she could never find a suitable opportunity. Song had been carefully trying to please those officials' wives.
Soon, the group arrived at Gu Qinlian's courtyard.
As soon as those officials' wives stepped into the courtyard, they walked straight towards Gu Qinlan.
Sheng Mimi couldn't wait to rush forward and held Song's arm affectionately.
"Aunt Gu, you are finally here. You don't know how stingy Gu Qinlan is. The gift she gave to Qinlian was so simple that it was like giving alms to a beggar. I couldn't bear it, so I asked her to use her own jewelry to supplement it. I didn't expect that she would insist on inviting you over. It's obvious that she wanted to use your name to make you think that those insignificant rags can also be regarded as a token of her love."
She said this first to see how Gu Qinlan would respond.
Song was eager to see Gu Qinlan make a fool of herself, so she smiled and said to Sheng Mimi, "You are always so worried about Qinlian. In fact, the most important thing about the gift of dowry is the thought, not the value of the gift. Besides, Qinlan has always been frugal, and the value of the gift she gives is not important. As long as she is there, everything is enough."
There was dissatisfaction in Sheng Mimi's words. On the surface, she was praising the Song family's magnanimity, but in fact, she had secretly revealed the ironclad fact that Gu Qinlan could not give a good gift.
Sheng Mimi said indignantly: "Aunt, you are so tolerant, but I can't stand it! She is now the wife of the prince, but she is still so stingy, which is really unacceptable. Qin Lian is my confidant, and I can't bear to see her suffer such injustice."
Song patted her hand gently and consoled her with a smile: "Okay, Mimi, this is just a trivial matter, don't worry about it. Besides, Qin Lian is not lacking in these things."
Gu Qinlan stepped out from the other ladies and bowed elegantly to Song: "Greetings, Madam."
Song's face was filled with a virtuous smile: "Get up quickly, I have been worried about you for several days, and finally you are back. It's good that you are back, and the other things are just dust, no need to mention them. Have you visited Qin Lian? She is also looking forward to your arrival every day."
She did not mention the gift of dowry in her words, but her words revealed her stinginess towards Gu Qinlan.
How could Gu Qinlan let her get her wish?
She smiled gently and replied, "I haven't visited her yet. I was planning to go after I put on my makeup, but Miss Sheng insisted on dragging me to play. Madam, I am not stingy with these jewelry and headdresses. Although they are not treasures, it is okay to give them away casually on ordinary days. But today is different. I am here to add makeup to Qin Lian. I think this gift is impeccable. If I include this headdress, I am afraid it will embarrass Madam."
Sheng Mimi couldn't help but sneered: "You are talking nonsense. How can Aunt Gu be embarrassed if the gift is not in place? Gu Qinlan, you are already a married woman, do you still want to rely on Aunt Gu?"
Gu Qinlan ignored Sheng Mimi's provocation, and just slightly turned sideways to show the box full of gifts.
Song followed her movements and felt that the box looked familiar, but she did not pay too much attention to it. After all, the style of the box was not unique, and there were many similar boxes in the Gu family's warehouse.
Sheng Mimi's eyes flashed with excitement, and she pointed at the box and said, "Aunt Gu, look, the dowry gifts she gave to Qin Lian are all in there."
Gu Qinlan said calmly: "Miss Sheng, I will say it again, the value of emotions should not be measured by material things. The amount of gifts cannot erase the sincerity of others. Moreover, I do not think that the gifts I gave are insignificant. On the contrary, each of these items is precious to me."
Sheng Mimi raised her lips with a mocking sneer, "Sweet talk! You are stingy, so why bother to cover it up with the saying 'the gift is small but the sentiment is great'. You keep saying that these items are priceless, today I will let everyone see how much these so-called treasures are really worth."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sheng Mimi took a decisive step forward and suddenly opened the lid of the box.
The moment the lid of the box was opened, the smile on Song's face froze instantly and turned into astonishment.
She was very familiar with these old things in front of her!
They were all treasures carefully selected from her storeroom, some of which were even purchased by the ancestors of the Lin family when she was not yet the mistress of the mansion. Those items full of memories were even older than Gu Qinlan herself.
Song rushed forward involuntarily and quickly closed the box, as if she was afraid that someone would peek into the sealed history.
Sheng Mimi looked at her in confusion: "Aunt Gu, what's going on?"
