Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 145 It Should Be a Dog

"Your Highness, I was blinded by greed for a moment." The eunuch was thrown to the ground by Zhang Wu. He quickly got up, knelt straight, and began to kowtow continuously.

"It was Kong Youde, the chief eunuch beside the Princess of Jin, who sent someone to tell me that my two sisters were bought by the Prince of Jin's Mansion. He asked me to do a thing and gave me this thing." As he spoke, his fingertips trembled as he pointed at the cloth bag on the ground.

"This servant sees that the amount is not large, so I thought of burying it deeper. The medicinal effect will surely be minimal and will not bother the Crown Princess."

"In that case, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Crown Princess for your concern and consideration?" Xiao Jingheng stood up with a sneer. Before he finished speaking, a footprint appeared on the eunuch's chest.

The eunuch was kicked down by the prince, and he quickly got up and knelt down. Before he could catch his breath, he was hit again.

"Is there any other place?" Xiao Jingheng asked in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, I swear that I am only using the pomegranate tree sent by Concubine Li to make a fuss. There is nothing else to it." After the eunuch finished speaking, he coughed a few times in a hurry.

However, in Han Desheng's eyes, such behavior is suicidal.

"Han Desheng, take him down and hand him over to the Ministry of Punishment for punishment." Xiao Jingheng said, "And tell the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find another batch of trees that I want. I want to plant them myself."

"Yes."

The Gu Mansion has been very quiet recently. Even the Third Madam Wang, who is usually very noisy, has been staying indoors for a while.

Gu Ruoxing had left the Gu family for a few days, and the concubine had not said she would return home within three days. She sent people to inquire about the news from Prince Jin, but found no useful information.

As the saying goes, comparing goods leads to throwing them away, and comparing people leads to death. Unfortunately, Wang has been teaching Ruoxing to be a competitive and stubborn person since she was a child. As a result, she ended up being a concubine who had to please others and had to keep a low profile.

Although Wang was unwilling to admit it, she knew in her heart that if her daughter wanted to live a comfortable life in the future, she would still have to rely on the help of her third niece, after all, her status was there.

After much deliberation, she came to Gu Hong's study in the front yard and said, "My dear husband, I think Ruoxing is isolated and helpless in her husband's family. It's not a solution. We are insignificant and can't have a say, but we have connections. My second brother holds a high position, and Qinghe will be the Crown Princess in the future, so there's no need to say more."

"What do you mean, ma'am?" Gu Hong put down the book in his hand and said to his son, who was listening to his parents' conversation, "Go out and think about what you neglected just now."

"What I mean is, I have offended my second sister-in-law because of my outspokenness, and she doesn't like me very much now. But you and second brother are brothers from the same mother after all, and you are also the third girl's uncle. You should go to the second house and ask Qinghe to take care of her second sister in the future." As Wang spoke, she was about to cry. Her motherly heart was really pitiful.

Gu Hong knew it very well, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. He had not forgotten the series of unpleasant words his wife and daughter had said.

"You go back first. I think Qinghe knows what's going on. After all, if Ruxing is not doing well, she won't look good either." Gu Hong said this, but he couldn't be sure of it in his heart.

"It's better to go. Second brother is a man of loyalty and righteousness, and the third girl is your junior, so she will definitely not refuse your wishes." Wang repeated her instructions before leaving.

Gu Hong just frowned and said nothing.

Gu Qinghe, who knew what was going on, was sorting out the books he liked to read with Yingchun and Wangchun. Before putting them in the boxes, they had to dry them in the sun first.

Wangchun was tidying up when suddenly an envelope fell out from the book. Wangchun took a look and recognized it. It was the one that Mr. Lu had given to his daughter before.

She coughed lightly twice. Yingchun heard the noise and glanced at the girl first. The girl seemed to have found a book that interested her and was reading it intently.

Yingchun came closer to Wangchun and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Take a look at this." Wangchun placed the envelope in the middle of the open book, leaned closer to Yingchun's face, and whispered, "This is from Master Lu to the young lady."

Yingchun naturally recognized it. This was the letter that Yuanxiao had sent when the girl went to the palace to attend the palace banquet. It was after reading this letter that the girl asked Wangchun to give a pearl earring to Mr. Lu.

"Put it away carefully. Don't let the girl see it. It will only cause more trouble. Now that the matter is done, the girl has come to terms with it. After getting married, she should live a good life." Yingchun watched Wangchun put the envelope into the back of the book and said in a low voice, "Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. It's always like this."

"So, tell me, is the prince a chicken or a dog?" Yingchun asked seriously.

Yingchun chuckled, "It should be a dog, didn't the girl say he was the dog prince?"

Wang Chun laughed out loud when he heard this, "So, from now on, our girl will be the dog princess? That doesn't sound good."

The laughter caught Gu Qinghe's attention. She looked over in confusion, "Did you see any interesting stories?"

"No, I was just joking with Wangchun. You know, she is the least likely to be teased." Yingchun smiled and returned to her previous position, turning a blind eye.

Gu Qinghe knew these two girls well. She walked over and randomly picked up two books from the ones in front of Wangchun. She flipped them open and looked at them, but couldn't make out anything. She smiled and said, "Next time you tell a joke, let me hear it too. If you're cursing, take me along too."

"Yes." Wangchun and Yingchun responded and continued to sort out their books.

"Third Miss——" the maid's voice came from the door.

Gu Qinghe pointed at Yingchun and said, "Go and take a look. This voice sounds a bit unfamiliar."

Yingchun nodded. She dealt with servants quite often, but at first glance, she couldn't tell which room this person was from.

Yingchun walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw a forty-year-old maid dressed as a servant working in the public garden. "Madam, what do you want to see our third young lady about?"

"Oh, I'm not looking for the third young lady for anything. It's the third master who asked me to come and run an errand. Now, he is waiting for the third young lady in the garden." The maid said with a smile. It was really worth the trip. The third master gave her a reward of one or two taels of silver.

Yingchun smiled faintly and nodded, "I understand. I'll tell the girl right away. Please wait here for a moment, ma'am."

Yingchun hurried back to the corridor, "Miss, a maid came and said that the third master is looking for you and is waiting in the garden."

Gu Qinghe smiled upon hearing this and said, "Tell her I'll be there soon and ask Uncle San to wait a moment."

She could imagine what her uncle was going to say to her, but she still had to listen, after all, he was her elder.

Gu Hong was waiting for his niece to come in the pavilion in the garden. He felt guilty and selfish at the moment. As a father, he came to plead with his niece.

"Oh——" Just as he let out a long sigh, he saw Gu Qinghe coming over with her maid.
