C20 Fifth Concubine

Madam Guan was already worried when Gu Qing had reached the age of seventeen or eighteen, but she was unwilling. She didn't want to force Gu Qing's hand, so she decided to make a choice for herself when there was still time.

His marriage was arranged by his family, and the young couple also had a period of sweetness. Although the old master wasn't much of a person, his face was still pretty good. The Gu family had good genes, and the old master was an elegant and elegant person.

However, the good news did not last long. Ever since she became pregnant with Gu Qingyan and was unable to serve him, he had revealed his lecherous nature. Taking in concubines one by one would cause him to feel sad at first, but when most women came this way, she slowly accepted it.

After that, his shortcomings were exposed more and more. He loved to study but lacked the ability. He was lecherous and greedy. Other than that face, he had no other merits. However, he couldn't just watch that face live, could he?

Madam Guan could not speak of the bitterness in her heart. She didn't want her daughter to follow her own path and always wanted to be in love with each other. It was better to be honest and let her find someone she was satisfied with.

But with this delay, who knows if she might come down and become an old lady, who would be a good person for you to choose from? Thus, she was determined to finalize the marriage of Qing Tu by the end of the year.

She had seen many young masters, and every time she had seen someone asking how Gu Qing was doing with hope, she would always be dissatisfied with the result. She would either choose this one or choose any one of them, and there would always be a reason for her to choose.

"Painting, is there anyone in your heart?" Thus, Madam Guan could not help but ask after another failed blind date.

Gu Qing was stunned, almost wanting to guess if his mother already knew something, Madam Guan observed her expression and confirmed that she must have something on her mind the moment she froze. She then encouraged him, "Tell mom who it is, and if it really is a good marriage, then it's not unreasonable, you have to be satisfied."

For a split-second, Gu Qingshui was about to blurt out the words that came out of her mouth. She felt quite uncomfortable looking at her mother's anxious mouth bubbling over her during this period of time. She originally didn't need to go through all this, but when she thought of what her senior had told her, she suppressed it.

This was not Gu Qing's style at all. She had always been a straightforward person who did not even think of speaking. But because of her senior brother's words, she had fixed all of his problems. Perhaps this was the power of love.

She shook her head. "No, Mother, don't make wild guesses." Saying so, he lowered his head dejectedly, "I can't bear to part with you, I don't want to marry."

When Madam Guan saw her like this, she couldn't help but laugh. She knew that her daughter was someone who couldn't hide her words, so she didn't think that she was lying to herself. She only thought that it was childish and reached out to rub her head. Moreover, there was also the saying "a woman cannot be kept in the university, leaving her behind to form enmity with others".

Gu Qing didn't even dare raise her head to look after her. The closer the year approached, the more complicated her feelings were. Madam Guan had always doted on her, so her feelings for her mother were real. That was why she felt guilty.

The master had sent a beautiful brothel lady to Chief Li. Recently, she had been very highly regarded by Chief Cai, but she was very proud of herself. Thus, he began to frequently visit the Fifth Aunt's room. She had just entered the house this year and was only seventeen years old, a year younger than Gu Qingshui.

However, she was used to serving people, knew how to lower herself to others, and would sweetly flatter them. She coaxed the master so that he didn't know the north, south, east, or west, even more so, she was even more open in bed, and was even more wanton than those in the brothel, causing the master to be completely bewitched.

If she wanted to discuss something with him, she wouldn't be able to find him, so Madam Guan got angry for no reason. All these years, her feelings for the Master had lightened up a little, and she didn't care where he hung out, but she had no choice but to pay attention to matters related to her daughter's life. He was a good man, so she didn't know how to worry about him at all.

On the 23rd of December, when everyone in the family was waiting for the celebration to start for the next year, Madam Guan's beating and cursing, the Fifth Aunt's crying and the Master's angry and exasperated shouts all alarmed the old lady and the Old Master in the main house.

The yard was a mess, things were thrown everywhere, and the sound of falling vases could be heard from time to time. The maids all shrunk their necks to reduce their presence as much as possible, afraid that they would be struck by bad luck.

The old lady and the Old Master were already in the main room. Naturally, the second and third rooms couldn't just sit there and watch, so they had to go up and take a look. Gu Qinglang was also rather curious about what was going on that made the usually still Madam Guan take the initiative to teach this concubine a lesson.

Gu Qingyan and Gu Qing also rushed over. They were worried and frowned when they saw this scene. Why did it turn out so unsightly at this moment?

The old lady came over holding the servant girl's hand and scolded her loudly, "Rebels, reversals, both reversals!"

Under the angry shouts of the old lady, Gu Qingyan walked up to open the door. Madam Guan no longer had her usual calm appearance. Her hair was scattered, her clothes were a mess, and her expression was ugly. She glared fiercely at the Fifth Aunt and Master.

At the moment, she was sitting on the ground crying, but she didn't dare to look at Madam Guan. It was obvious that she was afraid of her, but the eldest master was standing next to her, glaring angrily at Madam Guan. His clothes were torn and tattered as well.

The old lady looked at her son's disheveled appearance and felt dissatisfied with Madam Guan. "What happened?" You don't want to live anymore, do you? "It's the new year, what do you want?" He then instructed her maidservant, "Go and attend to the Great Master. What do you look like?" Then he glared at Madam Guan in dissatisfaction.

Gu Qingyan stepped forward to pull Madam Guan, who was about to erupt, "Mother, if there's anything, please take it slow. Why do you need to say it?" He thought Madam Guan was jealous of her, which was why she made such a ruckus.

When Madam Guan saw Gu Qingyan, she couldn't help but start crying. She was crying miserably, so much so that even Gu Qing Wan, who usually hated Madam Guan so much, was softened by her crying. She truly felt pitiful!

Gu Qingyan was also taken aback. In his memories, his mother had always been a forceful person, fighting against everything. When had he ever seen her like this? When Madam Guan saw that even though she didn't have any exquisite makeup, she looked old, he didn't know what to feel.

It had not been enough for his father to take in his concubines one by one all these years, leaving the rest of the family to go to the brothels and hunt for wild food. His mother had turned a blind eye to this, but he knew that her heart would not be in good shape.

Although she always fought over who wouldn't give up, he knew that it was all because of him and the painting. In the blink of an eye, his mother grew old, and now, she was even crying so miserably in his arms.

When Fifth Aunt saw these people, she stopped crying, but she didn't dare to leave the lord's side. Therefore, when the old lady ordered the maidservants to help the lord change his clothes, she followed him in, and no one paid any attention to her.

Right now, no one had the energy to look after her, so when the Master came out, Fifth Aunt was still dressed the same as before. Gu Qing Wan knew this Fifth Aunt wasn't someone who could be at ease. She must have done it on purpose.

Madam Guan didn't even want to look at them, but Gu Qing couldn't help it. When she saw her mother crying so bitterly while the Fifth Concubine was still feeling wronged towards her father, she stepped forward and grabbed her by the hair, then grabbed her and pushed her against the wall.

This turn of events was too sudden. No one expected Gu Qingshui to make a move at this time. Even the fifth concubine froze on the spot. She only cried miserably when she felt pain.

The cry finally made Madam Guan stop crying. She raised her head to look at the ferocious Gu Qing painting. The old master was now even angrier than before. "He's rebelling. He's really well-bred!" He then commanded the maidservants by his side, "Why don't you go up and separate them, stand here and wait for death?"

"Let's see who dares to pull me over!" As he said that, he looked fiercely at the maids and servants. These servants were stunned by his gaze, and were too afraid to go forward.

Gu Qingshui then slapped Fifth Concubine's face a few times. When the master saw how badly Fifth Concubine had been beaten up, he immediately ignored everything else and rushed forward to hit Gu Qingshui.

At this point, even Gu Qingyan could not stand to watch anymore. He took a step forward and grabbed the old master's hand, while Madam Guan fiercely glared at him, "If you dare draw a finger for this little b * tch, I'll definitely let you know today that our housekeeper is not alone."

The old master looked at his daughter and his wife who were glaring fiercely at him. He pulled his eldest son who was frowning and did not agree with him. He was even more exasperated. "You guys are going against the heavens!" As he said this, he shook off Gu Qingyan's hand and left in large strides, not caring about the Fifth Aunt's life or death.

The old master walked away, not caring about the Fifth Concubine's life or death. The Fifth Concubine looked anxious and wanted to shout out, but Gu Qing gave her a fierce glare and immediately stopped crying.

Gu Qingluo usually wasn't a very kind person. She didn't have any good feelings towards her concubines or her little concubines. Her temper was violent, and she would often beat and scold them.

Because this house was controlled by Madam Guan, no one dared to confront her, so they could only avoid her. Even if they could not, they had to reduce their presence in front of her to prevent her from noticing.
