Chapter 371 Taking a Bride

"Mother, you, you want me to provide for Song Qian's grandmother until her death, and you want me to raise a son for him in vain?" Gu Huarong became excited again.

Queen Shen knew that she was unwilling, and she felt disgusted and disgusted in her heart, but this was the only way at the moment.

"The aristocratic family values ​​the family's reputation and strictly abides by the rules set by our ancestors. Why do you think Xie Jinyun's two dead sisters died?"

Queen Shen's eyes were so deep that Gu Huarong felt cold in her heart.

Gu Huarong's voice trembled slightly and she asked in confusion: "Why?"

"Now that you are in this situation, it doesn't matter if I tell you the truth. Your brother originally wanted to win over the eldest son of the Xie family or the second son of the Xie family, but they didn't know what to do. At this time, a woman suddenly ran out. Her name was Xie Jinyun, the daughter of Xie Jinyun’s stepmother.”

"She admired your brother, and your brother promised her the position of concubine. Xie Jinyun's mother, Su, also approved of the marriage. However, after Xie Lanfeng, the head of the Xie family, learned about it, he announced that Xie Jinyun had died suddenly."

Gu Huarong took a breath of cold air, and her body shook a few times as if she was electrocuted: "They are crazy. My brother has given her the position of concubine, and he already thinks highly of them."

"But in the eyes of the aristocratic family, this is not the case. Although Xie Jinyun is a stepmother, she is also a direct descendant. Even if Xie Jinyun competes for the position of the crown princess, her status is important enough, but she has no matchmaking relationship with your brother. Tong, this is a great shame for the Xie family, which is very concerned about face, and is enough to ruin the marriage of the entire Xie family's children, so the people of the Xie family would rather execute Xie Jinyun, but also want to preserve the reputation of the whole family. Hua Rong, your father The emperor did not execute you..."

"Ah!" Gu Huarong was so frightened by Queen Shen's words that she covered her ears and did not dare to listen anymore.

Gu Huarong never paid attention to the rules adhered to by the aristocratic families, and never knew that they could be so harsh on the children of the clan in order to abide by a clan rule.

They are crazier than she is.

Seeing that she was afraid, Empress Shen took away her hands covering her ears and said, "The Queen Mother is not trying to scare you. The Queen Mother wants to tell you that for the mistake you committed in the Princess Mansion today, your father is enough to give you a white silk ribbon." , to preserve the reputation of the royal family.”

"You are a princess, so you can do whatever you want and not follow the rules."

"No, even the Queen Mother doesn't dare to make the slightest mistake, otherwise how could the Queen Mother get to where she is today."

She gently smoothed Gu Huarong's hair: "The Queen Mother wants you to serve Song Qian's grandmother and raise his son. She is not asking you to compromise with your fate. The Queen Mother wants to tell you that Xie Jinyun can be a good wife of the Song family, and so can you. You can do better than her, and when everyone in Yanjing praises you, your father will notice you." When Queen Shen said the last words, Gu Huarong finally understood Queen Shen's intentions: "I knew."

"It's good that you can understand the painstaking efforts of my mother. Even if you pretend, you have to pretend to be decent for me. Let the world see that you, Gu Huarong, can be Song Qian's wife. Why can't Xie Jinyun? Why can't she? In the end, she Why did you become the prince's woman? You don't need to do some things yourself, and public opinion can push someone down. Now we need you to set an example for the family."

Gu Huarong finally had a smile on her face. Thinking that Xie Jinyun was now enjoying all the glory and wealth in the East Palace, while she had been demoted to a commoner, the smile on her face gradually twisted.

"This is the dowry my mother left for you. You can buy a new house later. If you don't have enough money..."

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from outside the hospital.

Queen Shen gradually frowned and asked the people outside: "What happened outside?"

Nanny Lian walked in from the outside with a hurried look: "Queen, there is a group of people outside saying that the Song family is going to marry a bride, and they have paid a lot of money to invite them to a wedding banquet. There is also a group of people who claim to be the Song family, and they are here to eat for the uncle and the father-in-law... "

Aunt Lian glanced at Gu Huarong and then changed her words: "It's Miss and Uncle Song's wedding banquet. Mrs. Song Pei said that she didn't have money to hold a wedding banquet. Now it's up to Miss to make her own decision. Should the banquet... be held or not?" "

Gu Huarong's eyelids twitched fiercely.

No, she was taken advantage of.

If she doesn't, she'll just pretend to be fat and wait to be laughed at.

Whether she does it or not, it's a joke to her.

Xie Jinyun was the first person to get married holding a deceased person's memorial tablet, but she became the second person.

Gu Huarong couldn't bear it anymore: "Who invited them here?"
