Seeing her son finally arrive, Old Madam Gu immediately sat up, exclaiming in frustration, "This blind fool will eventually be kicked out by me. Son, you must think of a way to get Gu Wanning out of here."
Gu Siyuan pondered for a long time, his brow furrowing as he replied, "Mother, please calm down."
The King Jing and his wife had fallen off a cliff and were missing. Emperor Jing summoned the Second Prince to the foot of Foguang Mountain to search for them, but there had been no news so far. It seemed that the situation was dire.
If they intended to deal with Gu Wanning, it would be wise to wait a little longer.
Everything in this marquisate belongs to you; it is the main branch that has taken advantage of the situation and seized the title. This is already my greatest concession. If we can't even handle a small girl, wouldn't that make us the laughingstock of the entire capital?
When she married into the Zhongyuan Marquisate as a secondary wife, Old Madam Gu had her sights set on the marquis title, thinking that since Old Marquis only had Gu Changqing as his legitimate eldest son, he would be easier to manage. Thus, she obeyed her family's wishes and married into the marquisate.
However, she never expected that Old Marquis would disregard the rumors circulating in the capital and take Gu Changqing with him to the border, personally teaching him while she remained in the large marquisate, enduring all sorts of gossip.
After experiencing numerous hardships with Gu Siyuan, she finally endured until Old Marquis passed away. Just when she was about to obtain the title, Gu Changqing had unknowingly established a significant military presence while stationed at the border under Old Marquis's guidance and gained recognition from His Majesty.
Meanwhile, her son could only rely on his own efforts to climb step by step through the imperial examination system and officially enter government service.
She had hoped to finally breathe easy when Gu Changqing disregarded public opinion and married a merchant's daughter, allowing the Zhongyuan Marquisate to once again become a topic of conversation in the capital.
"It’s inconvenient these days; let’s wait a while longer," Gu Siyuan said.
The Minister of Rites was getting old and about to retire. Many were eyeing this lucrative position, and Gu Siyuan was no exception; he had been in his position as deputy minister for far too long.
With his connections as Minister of Rites and the Second Prince, it was only a matter of time before he secured that position firmly.
At this critical moment, even Chen Die had entered the residence and rewarded all the servants there with both kindness and authority to ensure their silence.
After confirming that Old Madam Gu was not seriously harmed, Gu Siyuan left Chen Die behind to take care of her and turned away from Chunhe Hall.
Once Gu Siyuan left, Chen Die hurriedly served tea and water to Old Madam Gu while also asking her to personally select gifts for her.
Old Madam Gu wanted to vent her anger on Chen Die but had to suppress it, nearly choking on her own frustration.
After much effort, she finally managed to please Old Madam Gu. With a smile, Chen Die said, "Mother, don’t be angry. I have a plan that will allow you to vent your frustrations."
Old Madam Gu turned to look at Chen Die, raising an eyebrow as she asked impatiently, "What is it?"
Chen Die leaned in close to whisper a few words into Old Madam's ear before sitting beside her.
Old Madam Gu straightened her back slightly and squinted at Chen Die uncertainly. "There won't be any mistakes with this plan, will there?"
"Rest assured, Mother. Even if something happens, no one will suspect us," Chen Die replied confidently with a smile.
"Then I’ll leave this matter in your hands. Make sure you handle it well."
Yes.
