Chapter 350: Inherited by the same strain
Ruan Yan rushed out of the banquet hall and ran aimlessly along a path of blue bricks and stone slabs. Her heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of her throat. When her chest hurt when she breathed, she held on to a peach blossom tree and bent down. Panting rapidly.
The warm breeze blew, and Ruan Yan's mind became clear.
After regaining her breath, Ruan Yan calmed down.
Before she could figure out what to make next, two faint voices came from her.
"I have seen Master Gu's grace and beauty from a distance before. He is a genius, not only a genius, but also a handsome man. Nowadays, no one in the court dares to offend him, and everyone wants to curry favor with him. My father used to use me Changing his future is not a trivial matter, and no one dares to act rashly. They plan to wait until today's full moon ceremony to test it out before making a decision.
Unexpectedly, in order to plead guilty last night, Li Yushi sent a woman to Mr. Gu, which completely offended him, and he was imprisoned today. "
"I also heard my mother say that all the officials who attended were impeached and investigated, and their futures are probably over."
"The situation is even worse for the Zuo Shilang. A dignified third-rank official was sent to Jinzhou to rescue Li Yushi. My father said that Jinzhou is full of local snakes and they have backers in the court. If Zuo Shilang wants to deal with them, he will be punished later. If you don't deal with these people, they will be dismissed from their posts."
"I also know about this. The family members of Zuo Shilang came to attend the full moon ceremony and were kicked away in public."
Several women gasped. The third-rank officials didn't look down on them and wanted to clean them up. There were many excuses.
Zuo Shilang's family members are afraid that they won't go out for a while, it would be too embarrassing.
"Fortunately, my father heard the news and has no intention of sending me to the Gu Mansion for the time being. However, he did not give up and brought me to the banquet today. He wanted me to show up in front of Mr. Gu. With Mrs. Gu's pearls in front, where could Mr. Gu go? Can you see how vulgar I am?"
Several people burst into laughter.
The more Ruan Yan listened, the more frightened she became, as someone seemed to be walking from the opposite side in a daze.
She didn't have time to think about it, so she looked around hastily. She knew where this place was. When the maid took her out of the palace, this was where she came. The wing was a place for guests to rest or change clothes. Seeing the person getting closer and closer, he quickly climbed up the stairs, pushed open the door of a side room, went in, and closed the door.
"Are you brave? I've been waiting for you here for so long. Are you looking for Qiao?" A tall figure came up to her, smelling strongly of alcohol, and hugged her waist from behind, squeezing her waist with the other hand. He turned his head to her chin, lowered his head and kissed her.
Ruan Yan was so frightened that her eyes widened in shock, and her heartbeat seemed to have stopped.
"Hmm..."
She struggled desperately, but the man's hand was so strong that it was like crushing her jawbone. The pain made her bite his lip regardless of her strength.
"hiss……"
The man let go in pain, his eyes full of impatience, "You..." In the dim light, he saw the woman in his arms clearly. He was stunned for a moment and recognized that she was the upright official from Cuiyan Tower, not his date. of. He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and his smile revealed an evil spirit: "Qing Guan'er doesn't sell singing, but sells his body instead?"
The blood on Ruan Yan's face faded, she was horrified, and she immediately recognized the man in front of her.
He is Zhao Yu, the eldest son of the second master Zhao of the Duke of Zhao.
Mr. Zhao Er is a different kind in the Zhao Guogong Mansion. He is extremely talented and has the style of a gifted scholar. He has no love for power. He only likes to hang out in the alleys with fireworks. His favorite thing is to sing softly and recite poems and compose poems with the girls in the building.
He fell in love with a prostitute in the building and wanted to marry her. Mrs. Zhao threatened her with death and refused to allow the girl to come in. Even becoming a concubine was an insult to the Zhao family's upright family, so she locked him up at home. Not allowed to go out.
Until Mr. Zhao Er obeyed his mother's orders and married a well-matched woman, the couple had a good relationship and seemed to have forgotten about the girl in the building. Mrs. Zhao then allowed him to go out. Mr. Zhao had the opportunity to find the girl, and found out that she was pregnant and about to give birth.
Mr. Zhao Er feels more and more guilty for his beloved and wants to redeem her life and buy a house to raise her.
However, this girl rejected him, indicating that with her status, she would not be allowed to enter even a poor family with an innocent family, let alone the Zhao family.
The Zhao family is not her support, and he is not her lover. She will wither if she is with him. It was not a wise move to keep this child, but she was reluctant to give up her own flesh and blood and wanted to taste what it was like to be a mother.
Mr. Zhao Er didn't believe that she had no feelings for him, so he used his child to force her. She refused to stay with him, and the Zhao family's flesh and blood could not be left outside.
He thought that by keeping the child, he could keep the one he loved.
That girl was born in the land of smoke and willows, and her background was not good. She had experienced too much, and she could understand it better than anyone else, and she was more decisive than anyone else.
She gave the child to Mr. Zhao Er, asked him for a sum of money to redeem her body, and then disappeared in the capital.
Mr. Zhao Er took the child back to the Zhao family and raised it under his wife's knees. He had no other heirs.
Mrs. Zhao Er raised her child as her own, and she would get wind if she wanted it, and rain if she wanted it. If Mr. Zhao Er is stricter with him and wants to control and punish him, Mrs. Zhao Er will definitely not agree.
Zhao Yu and Mr. Zhao are indeed father and son, they share the same blood, and they also love to sleep with flowers and willows.
Ruan Yan heard in Cuiyan Tower that many young masters envied Zhao Yu for having a legitimate mother who was so kind to him.
She thought so too, and even thought that Zhao Yu's biological mother was stupid. If she followed Mr. Zhao, she would fall over.
Until she overheard Wu's mother reprimanding the sisters in the building who wanted to follow Zhao Yu, "Do you really think Mrs. Zhao Er regards him as her biological son? If she regarded him as her biological son, she would have taught Zhao Yu to become a talent, instead of praising him and killing him. Waste material!”
Ruan Yan then knew that Mr. Zhao Er had a grudge against Mrs. Zhao and deprived Mrs. Zhao of her right to be a mother in order to retaliate against Mrs. Zhao for separating him from his beloved and forcing him to marry Mrs. Zhao.
This grudge also involves Mrs. Zhao Er.
He thought that Mrs. Zhao Er had no heirs and lost the opportunity to be a mother, so she would raise Zhao Yu well as the foundation for her to gain a foothold in the house.
Miscalculating that Mrs. Zhao was not one to swallow her anger, she counterattacked calmly and gained a good reputation and the Zhao family's guilt. She devoted herself to using the Zhao family's influence to help her natal family.
It was rumored that Mrs. Zhao Er's mother-in-law wanted her to reconcile, but she refused, saying bluntly: "I wasted most of my life, living like this with peace and divorce, and the same way with divorce. It's better to keep such an in-law." , let the elder brothers, younger brothers, and nephews make progress and shine the lintel of the family, and the girls in the family will not have to follow my old path."
"Master, please be careful what you say!" Ruan Yan pushed him away as if seeing the god of plague, but Zhao Yu hugged her and bit her ear and said: "Gu family's full moon ceremony, you are so lowly How did people get in?"
