Chapter 413: Falling out
Chapter 413: Falling out
Si He, this is a blatant threat.
Guo Jiayue is the biological daughter of Madam Guo and the legitimate daughter of the eldest son. She is betrothed to the son of the governor of Zhongzhou. Although the son is a concubine's son, he comes from a prominent family. Guo Jiayue is just the daughter of a merchant, and being matched with him is already a very good marriage, not to mention that she is promised to be his legal wife.
The Guo family still attaches great importance to this. The prefect is in charge of the civil affairs of a state. In the territory of Zhongzhou, his status is second only to the most powerful King Nannan.
The Guo family urgently needs to marry into an official family to consolidate the Guo family's foundation and facilitate future business and dealings. At least the arrogant Yang family will not dare to bully the Guo family so blatantly in the future.
This marriage was only agreed upon a few days ago.
Si He had learned this information from Nanny Sun before, so naturally she had to make use of it.
Of course, there is now another marriage with an official family. Although he is not an official family in Zhongzhou and his son is not a legitimate son, the status of the Yue family is not comparable to that of the prefect's family.
Even though Madam Guo said that the marriage had not yet taken place, the Guo family in charge would definitely try their best to promote this marriage. After all, she was just a concubine's daughter, and marrying into the Yue family was considered marrying into a high-class family. If possible, they would probably be willing to replace her with a legitimate daughter to marry.
Unless the Guo family is short-sighted, they will not miss this opportunity.
In this way, the Guo family might try to control her by all means. In short, no matter what, there will be no peace after she comes back, so she will naturally choose a simple and efficient way to make herself live more comfortably.
"Guo Jiaqu! You evil creature! Evil creature!"
Mrs. Guo was so angry that her head was on fire. She couldn't think of any other words to scold her. She just kept calling her "evil creature". And as she said, she really couldn't do anything to her for the time being, because the Yue family was really not someone the Guo family could afford to offend.
Although the matter is still under discussion, Mrs. Guo knows that her mother-in-law and husband will definitely agree to this marriage, so she really can't do anything about it for the time being!
The most important thing is that he is afraid that she will ruin Yue Jie'er's marriage, which is absolutely not allowed!
Looking at the two maids beside her, the Yue family obviously valued them very much as they gave her such powerful maids to protect her.
At this moment, Mrs. Guo looked at her with vicious eyes, as if she wanted to eat her!
Seeing that the situation was almost over, Si He said, "Mother, let's forget about what happened in the past. But from now on, we should all keep to ourselves and live in peace."
Madam Guo shouted angrily: "You evil creature, don't call me mother!"
She was almost going crazy at this point. Since she married into the Guo family, she rarely lost her composure in front of others. After all, she had never seen any illegitimate son or daughter dare to talk back like this!
If it were in the past, she would have taught him a lesson and beaten him half to death!
But Si He was as indifferent as before. If she didn't want to call her mother, then she didn't have to. She didn't like to call her mother either.
The others were somewhat surprised to see Madam Guo like this. She really didn't dare to teach this arrogant concubine a lesson? Could it be that the Yue family was really a mediocre family?
Guo Hao was even more puzzled. He asked someone to invite his mother over just to teach this concubine's daughter a lesson, but now!
"Mother, she's too arrogant! Arrest her!"
Madam Guo glanced at him and endured it again and again, "Shut up!"
Guo Hao was somewhat stunned by his mother's rebuke, but also felt angry and puzzled. This concubine's daughter insulted and threatened him. Who on earth was this person proposing marriage? Why did his mother fear him so much?
Madam Guo glanced at the people in the distance and said angrily, "What are you all doing here? Go back to your own yards!"
The girls and young men in the distance had no choice but to quietly retreat from this place. When they left, they couldn't help but look at the people in the pavilion a few more times, their eyes were very complicated.
After most of the outsiders had left, Madam Guo said to Si He, "I underestimated you. You know quite a lot. I'm curious, where did you hear about Sister Yue's marriage?"
Guo Jiayue's marriage was only agreed upon a few days ago, but bad things have happened to the Guo family many times recently, so the news has been temporarily suppressed. They want to choose an auspicious day to announce the happy event, so not many people know about it. The people of the Lu family are also planning to propose on an auspicious day, and have not announced it to the public.
So where did she get this news?
At this moment, Madam Guo had tried her best to calm herself down, staring at Si He with sharp eyes.
Si He said: "It doesn't matter where you know it from. What matters is whether you care about it or not."
Mrs. Guo laughed out loud in anger, "Good! Very good! Then you can do whatever you want!"
After saying that, Madam Guo flicked her sleeves, turned around, and left with her people. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she would not be able to help but ask someone to deal with this arrogant concubine's daughter!
Seeing this, Guo Hao had no choice but to leave angrily, following his mother's footsteps and asking in a low voice all the way.
Si He watched them leave with a slight smile on her lips. She thought that since they had fallen out today, she wouldn't have to pretend to be so hard in the future.
The threat just now was not because Mrs. Guo was afraid of her, but because she was afraid of the Yue family behind her.
Power is really useful.
She doesn't need to step out of the family, but it's okay for her to take advantage of the power of others.
After a while, the garden suddenly became quiet, with only the three of them left. However, there were still servants watching them from a distance.
Si He sat in the pavilion, waiting quietly.
Time passed little by little, and after about half an hour, the old lady finally asked someone to come and ask her to go.
As expected, the marriage was negotiated, and the old lady's attitude towards her changed significantly. Not only did she arrange a better courtyard for her to live in, but she also gave her a group of maids and servants. It was obvious that the previous matter was over.
However, during the conversation, he did not forget to inquire about her relationship with the young master of the Yue family, and even reminded her many times that she should make more plans and seek benefits for the Guo family in the future.
Since the old lady has shown her goodwill, Si He should just obey and maintain superficial peace.
But Mrs. Guo really couldn't smile. She had a tense face from beginning to end. Even though the old lady winked at her many times, she pretended not to see it.
The old lady looked a little displeased, but she held back her anger and asked Si He to stay in the yard first. She would send a nanny later to teach her some rules. After all, she had been sent to Qingmu City since she was a child, and there were many rules and etiquette that she didn't know. Now that she had decided on a marriage with the Yue family, she naturally couldn't be careless.
Si He readily followed the advice and went with the servants to their new residence, Xiangxueyuan.
After Si He left, Madam Guo said to her mother-in-law, "Mother, are you going to let a concubine's daughter marry into such a family?"
The old lady's smile faded. She looked at Li and snorted coldly, saying, "What else do you want? The marriage has been agreed. The Guo family is marrying up! You are not allowed to target Sister Qu anymore!"
