Chapter 27
Seeing that her expression did not change, and she still did not show remorse, Mrs. Wu was so angry that she pinched her arm with one hand and tried to drag her away.

When Gu Ruzhen arrived here, Wu Zhu had already been dragged a few steps.

She couldn't do anything, but she didn't want to leave, so she could only stand in a stalemate.

And the guards at the gate would not help her without Gu Ruzhen's orders. After all, it is difficult for an upright official to judge housework. They are outsiders, and they are mother and daughter.

"Madam Wu." Gu Ruzhen glanced at the guards, "Let Madam Wu go and calm down."

Upon hearing this, the two guards immediately stepped forward, pulling Madam Wu away from one left and one right.

The maids around her also quickly left in fear like birds and beasts scattered.

Wu Zhu was pulled so that her bun was untied, and her clothes were a little messy.

Gu Ruzhen's mother died young, but she had the impression that her mother was a very gentle person, so it was hard for her to imagine that a mother would embarrass her daughter in public.

It's even more difficult to imagine a mother using the word "hustler" to her daughter.

She pulled Wu Zhu into the door, and said coldly, "If Mrs. Wu has something to talk to, please come in first."

There were quite a few people around, but when the imperial guards made a move, they all dispersed.

Madam Wu straightened her skirt and looked at Gu Ruzhen in surprise.

She knew that this woman was His Majesty's beloved, and she also knew the meaning of these guards here.

It's just that this kind of hesitation didn't last long, and she held her head high, feeling inexplicably confident.

Even if the emperor is here, there is no reason to separate the mother and daughter, let alone a woman whose status has not yet been determined.

Wu Zhu turned her face away, wiped her eyes, "Girl, this servant has caused trouble for you."

Because this person is the mother who gave birth to her and raised her, no matter what she did, she could only suffer like this.

Gu Ruzhen handed over a handkerchief, and ordered the two maids to take her to freshen up.

He sat in the pavilion and looked at Madam Wu.

"Forgive me for not knowing who the girl is, so I don't know how to salute." Mrs. Wu raised her chin slightly, and glanced at Gu Ruzhen with disdain.

Gu Ruzhen didn't get angry because of this, but the guards remembered Zuo Qiuju's instructions, so they let out a loud snort when they saw this.

Madam Wu was so frightened that she shuddered and knelt down on the ground.

The Bu Yao on the bun also made noises with the shaking of her body, but even when she was kneeling on the ground, she still held Bu Yao in panic to prevent it from making a sound.

Such a long pendant and many bu yao, in fact, few women in Qingxuan like to wear it.

Walking is swaying to swaying. Originally, the wearer of swaying does not need to be gentle and virtuous, demure and elegant, but what he sees is the charming and elegant style shown by the slight sway when walking.

Somehow later, it evolved into a customary norm.

Walking fast, with ding-dong noises, it appears dissolute and ignorant, which has become a "good product" to restrain women's words and deeds.

However, she was on the street today and saw many women wearing long swings, with many bells on them. When walking, she could hear the crisp sound of bells and gems colliding, which was pretty and moving.

So if it weren't for Madam Wu's behavior, Gu Ruzhen would have almost forgotten this rule.

"Let her get up."

Seeing this, the two imperial guards picked him up from left to right without waiting for Madam Wu's reaction, and then stood aside.

Her face was panicked, but she still remembered to take out a handkerchief and wipe it carefully when she was crying.

Gu Ruzhen asked her, "Why do you want Wu Zhu to go back?"

After this experience, Mrs. Wu was no longer as arrogant as she was when she came here, she said timidly and gradually boldly, "Zhu'er wants to go home to fulfill the marriage contract."

"Fulfill the marriage contract? Is this marriage contract what she wants, or did you make it for her?"

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, this engagement was naturally made for her by us."

"Then does she want it? Or have you asked her?"

Gu Ruzhen looked at Madam Wu, not only was she not angry, but became more and more calm.

Madam Wu faltered, "This... why do I need to ask her? She is my own daughter, can I still harm her?"

"The man I chose for her is a well-known character in Shengjing. She will know that everything I do now is for her own good."

"I don't want it." Wu Zhu came from a distance, she had already washed and washed, and put some powder on her face to cover up her pale blood.

"Miss." Wu Zhufu saluted, then turned around and said resolutely, "Mother, please leave, as long as you force me to marry, I will not go home."

Her voice sank, "You said he was good, but he had a concubine before he got married. Is that what you said?"

Madam Wu was so angry that her outstretched fingers were trembling, but she still held back, "Girl, Zhu'er is my biological daughter, I can take her away."

"Of course not." Gu Ruzhen smiled, her smile was beautiful, but her eyes were cold, "She is your biological daughter, yes, but she is also General Zhaowu appointed by His Majesty, and now she is Feng The imperial decree stands on this land, Madam Wu, are you going to defy the imperial decree?"

Wu Zhu's eyes widened, and he looked at Gu Ruzhen without blinking.

Probably because he felt that his previous cognition was outrageously wrong, so his eyes were full of astonishment.

Madam Wu looked at the woman sitting in front of her, and suddenly a chill came from her back uncontrollably.

She obviously smiled gently, but because of the coldness in her eyes, Madam Wu felt more and more frightened.

Gu Ruzhen bent her fingers and tapped lightly on the stone table. After a while, she suddenly stopped and asked, "So, Madam Wu will take Wu Zhu to leave?"

Madam Wu shook her head hastily. At this time, she even forgot the noble lady's demeanor that she paid the most attention to in the past. Bu Yao's long tassels fell on her cheeks, but she didn't stop and continued shaking her head.

"Since you don't take Wu Zhu to leave, please ask Mrs. Wu to leave on her own."

Madam Wu didn't care about Wu Zhu at this time, she turned around immediately after saluting in shock, and walked away in small steps without looking back.

"Thank you, miss." Wu Zhu stepped forward, poured a cup of tea, and stood beside her.

Gu Ruzhen took the tea, skimmed off the froth on it, and took a sip.

The tea seems to have added sugar, so it tastes a bit sweet.

"Wu Zhu, don't blame her." Gu Ruzhen didn't turn her body, she just glanced lightly and saw Wu Zhuhong's eyes.

Wu Zhu bit her lip, eyes filled with disappointment, and murmured softly, "She clearly knows what that man looks like, but she still wants to force me to marry him."

"She clearly knew what kind of life the eldest sister lived in the past few years, but she still hardened her heart and ignored it."

"She has obviously suffered like this, but she still wants her own daughter to suffer like her."
