Chapter 134 Invite yourself to the court
The guard told the story of the grievances between Su Wan and Su Mixue.
"Mr. Gu's original fiancée was Su Mixue, who was Su Wan's stepsister. The two sisters were only a few days apart in age. The sisters changed their marriages, Su Mixue became the current crown princess, and Su Wan married Mr. Gu."
The sisters exchanged marriages, and Su Wan fell from the clouds into dust. She would definitely not be reconciled, so how could the husband and wife be harmonious?
Cao Suxue's heart dropped, as long as Su Wan didn't like Gu Huaizhi, she would help Su Wan "get out of the sea of suffering" when the time came.
Although the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was of the first rank, above the hundred officials, her father was in charge of local military affairs and held real power in his hands. Comparing the two, her father is more capable.
What's more, Su Wan's father didn't care, but his stepmother persecuted him, so he couldn't help Gu Huaizhi in his career.
She was different. Her aunt did not make things difficult for her, and her father doted on her. She also admired Gu Huaizhi very much. As long as Gu Huaizhi married her, his father would definitely support him.
Cao Suxue was confident. Gu Huaizhi refused to marry her before because she was engaged. Now that Su Wan is treating him badly, if she comes to give him warmth, he will definitely choose her.
"This matter must not be revealed to my sister."
"yes."
"Xue'er, have you gotten up? We'll be on our way later." Cao Wanqing's voice sounded outside.
Cao Suxue's eyes flashed with boredom. This time she went to Beijing to direct and act in a play, just to make Cao Wanqing die at the hands of her "enemy".
There are seven young masters and two young ladies in the Governor's Mansion.
Although her father loved her, she was slightly behind Cao Wanqing.
Grandmother, aunt, and aunt could only see Cao Wanqing in their eyes, and they loved Cao Wanqing sincerely, but they just said a few words of concern for her.
As long as Cao Wanqing is around, her light will be blocked.
Her father's words remain unforgettable to her to this day: "Qing'er is more suitable for Huaizhi. If he comes from a high family and the two of them are of the same family, it will be a good story."
He sighed deeply, feeling extremely sorry.
The next best thing was to betroth her to Gu Huaizhi.
Cao Suxue was deeply aware of the gap between herself and Cao Wanqing.
A terrible thought came to mind.
If Cao Wanqing dies, she is the only girl in the family.
Her father will definitely value her very much, name her in the name of her aunt, and the family's resources will be poured into her.
"Sister, I understand." Cao Suxue opened the door and saw Cao Wanqing standing in the morning light, wearing a silver-red dress, like a peony gathered in smoke, and a begonia illuminated by the clouds, bright and moving.
Jealousy welled up in her heart. Just because Cao Wanqing was a direct descendant, she could choose between princes and generals.
If she wanted to marry into a high family, she could only marry a concubine or become a concubine.
Otherwise, he is a man of low family status.
Gu Huaizhi is the best choice for her.
"Wait for me while I pack my things." Cao Suxue asked hesitantly, "Sister, can we stay a few more days?"
"No." Cao Wanqing refused: "Grandma is waiting for us to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together."
Cao Suxue felt regretful in her heart. It turned out that she wanted to take advantage of Cao Wanqing's death to reject the marriage her grandmother had chosen for her and stay in Guangling Mansion for more time to win Gu Huaizhi's sympathy and cultivate feelings by living in the Gu family.
Grandma intends for Cao Wanqing to marry into the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, if she marries Gu Huaizhi.
A high-ranking family and a poor family.
He will still live in Cao Wanqing's shadow.
Cao Suxue dug her fingernails into her palms and would never allow this to happen.
Let’s find another time.
As for Gu Huaizhi, she was waiting in the capital for him to attend the Spring Festival and come again to capture her son-in-law.
Seeing that she no longer mentioned Gu Huaizhi, Cao Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, but she was afraid that Cao Suxue would remain stubborn and make mistakes.
——
Su Wan bought the house on Xuanwu Street and renovated it while waiting for Gu Huai to return to his hometown.
Qi San wrote to Qi Guang, and Qi Guang summoned the Qi family army to come to Fucheng to help decorate the house.
I finally got it all done on August 15th.
A group of rough guys sat under the eaves sweatingly, pouring water into their mouths.
Qi San came over with a basket and said, "The eldest lady has made mung bean soup and meat dumplings herself, so you can fill your stomach first. Today is August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival. The eldest lady invites us to a restaurant for a good meal."
Everyone cheered excitedly, all the fatigue in their bodies was swept away, and they rushed to the back room to take a shower.
Su Wan shouted: "Come back, eat and then take a shower."
Qi Jiajun came back again, each with a bowl of mung bean soup and a plate of meat dumplings. After devouring the food, he went to the backyard.
"Where is Qi Guang?" Su Wan saw that there was still one portion left, but Qi Guang was nowhere to be seen: "He went out?"
"Hmm." Qi San's cheeks were bulging and he said vaguely: "He went to pick up Iron Lady. This place is finished and you are about to open. Iron Lady is needed to take care of things." He raised his head and swallowed the food in his mouth. Food: “Here it comes!”
Su Wan turned around and saw a woman walking out from the wall. On her face as bright as white jade, a pair of phoenix eyes flashed with straightforward gaze. Her long, shiny black hair was tied into a high bun behind her head, making her look unique. There is charm.
Qi Guang walked behind her. He was eight feet tall, well-groomed, burly and majestic.
The Iron Lady was only as tall as his chest. She was extremely petite compared to him, but her whole body was very elegant.
"Hey! You girl, you have short legs and you take such long steps, aren't you afraid of pulling your buttocks?" Qi Guang saw her walking fast and furious, with her legs moving like a split with each step.
"Get out!" The Iron Lady rolled her eyes and said, "I can go as I please, I won't be able to pull your ass."
"..." Qi Guang said with a sullen face: "Vulgar."
The Iron Lady slowed down.
Qi Guang walked in front of her.
The Iron Lady kicked Qi Guang's butt hard, causing him to stumble and look at him sharply.
"Oh, I, a vulgar woman, accidentally pulled your buttocks, I really can't help it." The iron lady gave him another look and stepped in front of Su Wan. Luoluo said generously: "Miss, I am only vulgar to people who look down on women. Don't worry, I will do things neatly and will not let you down."
Qi Guang was impressed, his face was gloomy, he glanced at a bowl of mung bean soup and a plate of dumplings in the basket, ate a few dumplings, and left the rest for the Iron Lady.
Su Wan looked at the Iron Lady carefully. There was a charming charm in her eyebrows. She looked like she was in her twenties and had a woman's hair, but Qi San said she had never been married.
Qi Guang is now in his thirties, has been married once, and has no children. After my grandfather passed away, his daughter-in-law asked him for a letter of divorce and petitioned for divorce. After returning to her natal family, she quickly remarried.
"Yu Niang, let's go into the house and talk." Su Wan led Iron Lady into the house and gave her a stack of compiled information: "This is the process of Xinglin Workshop in Xihe Town. You can refer to it. Come back to Xihe with me tomorrow. Town, stay in Xinglin Workshop for a few days to study.”
