Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 165 The Heavenly Family’s Rules Are Very Strict

After crossing the courtyard and arriving at the grand main gate, Mrs. Chen subconsciously wanted to turn, but she saw Mrs. Bai continue walking forward with a smile. "Our old lady is old and likes quietness. Now it's my eldest sister-in-law who is in charge of the family, so we need to go a little further."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Chen smiled and nodded, then continued walking forward with Mrs. Bai. When they passed the third room, Mrs. Bai took the initiative to speak, "It's just ahead."

"Well, okay." Mrs. Chen responded with a smile, thinking to herself: Sure enough, the second house is the farthest away.

This really proves the saying that the older ones are prosperous and the younger ones are delicate, and beatings and scoldings are exactly what hits them hard.

However, seeing that the second house seemed to be unaffected, Madam Chen changed her mind and said, yes, the daughter of the second house was going to marry into the Eastern Palace to be the Crown Princess. Even if they lived far away, their hearts were close. As the saying goes, even the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, not to mention that they were originally a family.

The laughter of the two people reached the courtyard. Wang was reading a letter sent back by her daughter, saying that she had received the banknotes and asked her to help keep an eye on the dowry shops in Beijing and send the dividends to the northwest in time.

"Go and see if there's anyone outside." Wang stuffed the letter back into the envelope and waved her hand pointing outside.

Mother Feng agreed and quickly came back, "Madam, it's the Second Madam outside, and she's bringing Madam Chen from the Jinyiwei envoy's house with her. They're heading to the old lady's courtyard."

Upon hearing this, Wang glanced outside and pondered for a few breaths, "I'll go over and take a look too."

"Madam, the master told you to stay at home and rest assured..."

Before Feng's mother could finish her words, Wang interrupted her sharply, "What? Isn't the old lady's place home? We haven't divided the family yet? If there's anything, you should let me know. And if there's any benefit, you can't leave the people from the third house behind!"

Mother Feng couldn't argue with the lady, so she had to shut up and follow her into the old lady's yard.

Gu Qinghe came to the old lady's courtyard because she was asked to do so. The old lady said that she was about to get married and it would be difficult to see her in the future, so Gu Qinghe came here every two days.

Actually, there was nothing much to talk about when she came. Firstly, Gu Qinghe grew up outside Beijing and did not have a deep emotional bond with her grandmother. Secondly, when her grandmother talked to her, she mostly talked about the principles of unity among sisters and not forgetting family, which she was tired of listening to. She mostly agreed with what her grandmother said. The old lady naturally knew what Gu Qinghe was thinking, especially about how she treated the second girl, but she had to say it.

"Try this red date and yam cake, it's not that sweet." The old lady said with a smile.

"Thank you, grandma. It's delicious." Gu Qinghe pinched a piece, took a light bite, looked up and smiled as he met his grandmother's gaze.

"I've asked the chef in the small kitchen to prepare the recipe. I'll add it to your dowry when the time comes." The old lady said, "Or, you can bring this chef with you."

"No, grandma, you can keep it for yourself." Gu Qinghe refused with a faint smile. The old lady looked at her and sighed in her heart. The child had grown up, and it was beyond her ability to be nice to her.

Just as he was feeling sad, someone announced that the Second Madam had come with Madam Chen from the Embroidered Uniform Guard's household.

Gu Qinghe was a bit surprised when she heard this. Hadn't Madam Chen always been a bit awkward with her mother? Why did she come to visit now? And even come to see Grandmother?

I'm afraid something happened?

"Please come in." Mrs. Gu was startled at first, then smiled and ordered, "Mother Liu, make another pot of tea."

"Greetings to the old lady." As soon as Mrs. Chen entered the room, she smiled and bowed deeply.

"Oh, Madam Chen, please take a seat. Second son, why didn't you inform me in advance that a distinguished guest was coming?" Old Mrs. Gu said with a smile.

Mrs. Bai smiled and was about to speak when Mrs. Chen looked at her and said, "Old Madam, it was me who came directly without saying hello, so you can't blame the Second Madam."

Mrs. Chen and the old lady of the Gu family exchanged pleasantries. Gu Qinghe looked at her mother questioningly. Mrs. Bai shook her head slightly and pointed in the direction of the old lady with her chin.

Gu Qinghe understood even more clearly in his heart that he was indeed coming for someone else, but why?

After the pleasantries, Mrs. Chen began to get to the point. "Look at this child Qinghe. The more I see her, the more I like her."

Old Lady Gu listened to Madam Chen's tone of regret and words full of reluctance, and her heart moved. Was Madam Chen coming here to ask for benefits because she saw that Qinghe had a better future?

It shouldn't be that serious. It was just a meeting that didn't go through to the end. Her family wouldn't be held responsible. In the final analysis, their Gu family was just fish on the chopping board to be slaughtered at will. Although, she was still quite happy in her heart.

"Yes, Qinghe inherited the advantages of her parents, otherwise she would not have been favored by the royal family." The old lady pointed upwards embarrassedly.

Mrs. Chen understood what the old lady meant and agreed, "But the royal family has strict rules. The most taboo thing is people who think they are royal relatives and make unreasonable demands."

The old lady didn't say anything when she heard this, and Madam Chen didn't care. She continued, "Today this aunt asks for an official position for her son, and tomorrow that aunt asks for a daughter, or maybe asks you to take care of her. It's very troublesome and will make the Emperor and the Empress Dowager unhappy."

After hearing this, Gu Qinghe finally understood why Madam Chen came today. She came to help her get rid of her troubles.

Bai also smiled knowingly. She thought that Madam Chen would definitely not take the initiative to take care of this matter. There must be someone behind it.

"You're right. Once you marry someone, you're their daughter-in-law. How can you always do things for your parents? Besides, the affairs of the royal family are more than just private matters." Old Madam Gu came to her senses and said to Madam Chen seriously, "From now on, I will also properly discipline the people in our family."

Mrs. Chen nodded in satisfaction after hearing what Mrs. Gu said, but she still smiled faintly, "Madam, we were just chatting. The Gu family has a strict family tradition and there wouldn't be such a person."

Old Mrs. Gu was quiet for a moment. She didn't know whether there was such a person in the Gu family before. At least before the second wife returned to Beijing, she thought every son and daughter-in-law was very good. If she had to say that she had an opinion about any of them, it would be Bai from the second wife.

When other people's husbands were sent away, their wives would take the initiative to stay at home and take care of their parents-in-law. But she didn't say a word and followed the second son to Dengzhou, taking her granddaughter with her. She had been gone for more than ten years, which made her feel uneasy. Otherwise, how could she and Qinghe have nothing to talk about?

However, after observing for the past six months, it turned out that Bai from the third house was someone who couldn't stand her brothers being better than her. She was like a fighting cock all day long, and she was also good at using some tricks, which often backfired.
