Chapter 17 Spilling Tea

Gu Heng was satisfied with the result of this treatment and bowed his hands to Chu Jiyao, thanking her for her kindness.

But the tied servants were frightened. They were gagged and couldn't make a sound, so they could only cry "wuwuwu", and then they leaned towards Gu Mingshu like beetles, begging her for mercy.

Gu Mingshu originally planned to use the help of the Gu family to bring the matter to the attention of the old concubine, but after changing these thorns, she did not expect that Chu Jiyao could help before leaving.

"Mother, today is an auspicious day for your trip. It is not suitable to see blood. My daughter-in-law be brave enough to intercede and spare them the death penalty."

Chu Jiyao cooperated: "You are too kind-hearted. So how do you want to deal with it?"

"Although the death penalty is avoidable, I really don't dare to use him anymore. It's better to sell him." Gu Mingshu said.

At this time, someone in the crowd stood up and said, "The two princesses are Renyi, I am willing to buy them!"

Chu Jiyao then said to Nanny Chen beside her: "Mother Chen, go to Tingxue Tower and get the deeds of these people for Xiao Shu."

If it wasn't her person who went to get it, I'm afraid it wouldn't be easy for Gu Mingshu to do it.

But just when Chen Ma said "yes", a green figure flashed in front of Gu Mingshu at the gate of Hailing Prince's Mansion.

"Princess, I have obtained the body deed."

In her previous life, Gu Mingshu still naively wanted to get along well with the people in her family, and she even wanted to maintain Qin Yue's image in front of her family, so it was impossible for her to confront Yun Qianxue head-on, nor to seek help from the Gu family.

But now, it would be a fool not to take advantage of one’s power!

When Chu Jiyao heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled and asked Nanny Chen to lower the curtain.

But Grandma Chen whispered: "She has the ability, but she is still a bit immature. Her own people took the body deed. Doesn't it prove that she planned what happened today?"

Chu Jiyao smiled and said nothing, motioning for her to continue reading.

Just listen to Nuanfeng's loud voice: "The late king's side concubine, Lady Yun, heard that her bridesmaids had done such outrageous things. She was so angry that her old illness relapsed and she rested in bed. She said this when she gave these slaves these physical bonds.

, everything is at the disposal of the princess!"

Okay, now it’s finalized, it’s clear who is the person who spread the rumors.

Yun Qianxue did what she did in the first grade of junior high school, and Gu Mingshu did what she did in the fifteenth grade. Revenge that can be avenged on the spot will never be left overnight!

Someone who was not buried in the crowd took the opportunity to say: "What did I say just now? This oiran's concubine was able to enter the palace, and the old concubine also contributed. Do you believe it now?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, the water in the backyard of the palace is really deep..."

At this point, the "rumor" about Gu Mingshu has come to an end, but the rumors about this matter are spreading more and more widely. Gu Mingshu and the famous women in the backyard of the palace have a completely different public impression from their previous lives.

Of course, this is all a story for later.

Chu Jiyao watched the fun and excitement, and felt much better after starting her journey again. After leaving the city gate, she resolutely rejected the offer of giving away another ten miles of land, and directly sent the young couple and Gu Heng back.

As soon as Chu Jiyao left, Gu Heng naturally left.

With no one watching, Gu Mingshu breathed a long sigh of relief, turned around and climbed into her carriage.

Although her current cooperation with Qin Yue is not a happy one, as long as it doesn't completely collapse, she still has to continue to pretend to be loving in front of her family.

Now that no one was watching, she felt much more at ease. She flipped through her little ledger. She planned to take stock of what she had and think of some ways to make money.

After all, no matter what your plans are for the future, money is the only thing that is absolutely indispensable!

She needs money - and it needs to be big enough to cover everyone when Gu Jiajun's salary is cut off!

However, she had just sat down and opened the booklet. The carriage shook and Qin Yue came up.

Gu Mingshu clicked the booklet and looked at him strangely with raised eyebrows.

Her carriage was not small, but with three people squeezed into it, it still seemed cramped.

Qin Yue had no expression on his face and didn't explain anything. He just said to Cui Wei, "Go down and wait."

The little maid did not move, and only turned to look at her master. She was the lady's person, so naturally she only listened to her.

Gu Mingshu sighed and waved her hand to signal Cui Wei to go down.

She pressed her private account with one hand, looked directly at Qin Yue, and asked: "My lord, what do you want to do for me?"

Qin Yue went straight to the point: "Gu Heng said today that after the marriage decree was made, General Gu knelt down outside his study and begged Your Majesty to take back the decree. Is this true?"

Gu Mingshu was quite patient at first, but when she heard this, her face turned cold, and her eyes revealed a murderous intent.

"Why, you are very proud to hear that my father went to beg Your Majesty but came back in vain. I can't stop you from humiliating me with your wedding, aren't you? Qin Yue, you should have a certain temper when bullying others."

If Qin Yue only humiliated her, then she would just take it out on his bully. If he still wanted to use this to humiliate her father and even the Gu family, she would have to reconsider her revenge plan. For example -

Send him away first, and then set fire to the Hailing Prince's Mansion. Anyway, Princess Chu is no longer in the mansion now, but her only son died young, so she will probably be sad...

"I didn't mean to humiliate you." Qin Yue explained, "After the marriage decree was issued, I was indeed displeased, but I didn't express my anger. However, someone later told me that it was because of you that General Gu relied on his military merit.

I asked for the marriage in front of His Majesty."

These words were like thunder, crashing into Gu Mingshu's mind.

In the past, she had always thought that Qin Yue had humiliated her so much during their wedding just because she had taken the position of his sweetheart, "Princess Hailing", and that the torment and inconvenience after marriage was all because of this.

But now, Qin Yue told her personally that the cause of all the tragedies in her previous life was actually because someone spread a rumor that completely confused right and wrong?

"Since I took off my armor, I have stayed away from the court for many years, and rarely enter the palace. Some information may not be a secret, but I really don't know it." Qin Yue's tone was sincere, and he seemed to be a little ashamed.

After Gu Mingshu digested the news, her cold expression barely changed.

"Then what does the prince mean by talking about this now?"

This question seemed to stop Qin Yue. He frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "My mother once said before she left that the most important thing for a husband and wife to get along with each other is to be honest. Words that can be expressed clearly and misunderstandings that can be explained should not be hidden.

"

"Heh." The corners of Gu Mingshu's lips curled up in an arc as if she wanted to smile, "So, does the prince want to put aside the past grudges with me and become a real couple?"

Qin Yue said: "You are the concubine that I am marrying, not a fake couple."

Before she finished speaking, Gu Mingshu picked up the tea at hand and splashed it all over Qin Yue's face and body.
