C3 Initial Exposure

Actually, the status of the Second Branch in the Gu family was no better than that of the Third Branch family.

The old lady was biased towards her eldest son and had never liked her second son. This was because she had taken advantage of the opportunity when she was pregnant with her second son to give birth to her concubine son, the Third Master Gu. Although the third concubine had died shortly after due to illness, the old lady still held her breath.

Not to mention that she had been injured when she gave birth to Second Master Gu, so she could not have another child from now on. Although she already had two legitimate sons, all the big families cared about having more sons than blessings, which gave the Old Master even more reason to bring in his concubines.

Although there were no more bastard children born after that, three of them were born in succession. Although they had been sent away by the old lady to be married off, the anger in the old lady's chest had always been there and she had thus vented it on her second son.

The Old Master seemed to care for the Third Master of the Gu family the most, but that was not the case. Later on, when the Old Master of the Gu family was in trouble, the Old Master did not seem to feel much sadness, nor did he show any care for the Third Branch's widow.

In other words, only the main house of the Gu family was valued. No wonder the main house was acting more and more unscrupulously, always treating the entire family property as his own, and treating the second and third houses as even less and less good.

Therefore, at this time, the Second Branch would not say anything. Even if they did not have any interests in each other, they would still offend people. This was not in accordance with their usual style.

It was the long room that had proposed this idea. They couldn't be so stupid as to ask, "What's the matter?" That was ridiculous, because they would have to announce it later.

Seeing that no one was willing to pick her up, the old lady was somewhat dissatisfied. Seeing that the second and third rooms rarely spoke, she knew that she couldn't count on them, so she stared at Madam Guan.

Madam Guan felt her scalp tingle. Who knew that the old lady would try something like this? Her original intention was for the old lady to directly let her announce it, but she didn't allow the old lady to make such an opening statement?

Because aside from the long room, no one else would agree with her. But if she couldn't make it, she would just have to deal with herself. This damned old lady, sooner or later, you would cry.

Thinking this way, Madam Guan didn't dare to complain about the old lady's bad words, so she braced herself and went on, "Old Ancestor, you just sit there and listen. How can you work on such an idea?"

Eh, who said just now that it was related to the Gu family's future? To speak of such a thing at this time, do you think that everyone else is a fool to watch a play like this? Gu Qing Wan'er couldn't help but curse in her heart.

"Then tell me." The old granny said listlessly. She did not refute Madam Guan at this moment, but her discontent could be seen by anyone. Madam Guan could see it too, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and endure.

After she agreed with a smile, Madam Guan said to the Third Wife of the Third Branch with a smile, "His Third Aunt, I want to congratulate you!" What he said was true. Those who didn't know really thought that some good news had come to Third Branch.

Madam Song lifted her head, revealing a pair of red and swollen eyes. With Madam Guan's congratulatory words, no matter how one looked at it, she couldn't help but mock her. "What kind of happy occasion can we have?" He was still speaking in a slow and soft voice, but his listening was different. It was as if his heart was filled with the sorrow and decisiveness of a dead heart.

Gu Qingwan knew what Madam Song was planning. This woman had made the most decisive decision in her life today, for the sake of her child.

However, she didn't think that her death would be enough to dispel those dirty thoughts. She was afraid that if she died first, her two children would be in an even more miserable situation. However, she didn't think of it that way.

She did not know much about the dirty things in big families, and the only thing she could do for her children was to put her life on the line. However, this kind of chance of survival was very likely to become her children's lifesaver, and she did not know or even think of it.

While Gu Qingcheng was mourning for the third house and the original owner, Madam Guan seemed to have heard the difference in his voice. She furrowed her brow before relaxing a little. So what if he had any plans?

The Third Branch did not have a strong background, nor did he have the strength to contend with her. This woman was not born to be strong and weak, so it was not suitable for her to live in a big family.

Third Young Madam always had to contribute a little. In the future, they would still have to work under her. Even if they didn't agree, they would still have to agree to what she said today. Otherwise, they would have to consider their future path!

Thinking about this, Madam Guan relaxed. With a smile on her face, she said to the Third Madam, "This is not a happy occasion. Qing Bei has grown up. She is getting more and more beautiful. It's time to meet up with her."

Madam Guan then told the old lady sitting in the main seat, "I've seen a family for us before. Aiyo, there's nothing to say about that family. Their family background is abundant, and their family background is outstanding. They've already reached the position of the head of the family."

The old lady only knew that Gu Qing Wan was in trouble because of Gu Qing's painting, but she didn't know much about the internal affairs of the family. When she heard that such a good marriage ceremony had happened to Gu Qing Wan, she felt somewhat suspicious.

Because she knew Madam Guan was a kind person. She was completely watertight on the outside, but she was actually the most cold-hearted and vicious. She had to have a problem with finding such a good marriage for the fourth lady for no reason.

Seeing that everyone's gaze was focused on her, she said slowly, "Auntie likes to joke around. As the saying goes, she is young and orderly, and there are still some brothers and sisters in Qing Ying and the others who are not engaged yet. How can I let Qing Qing decide first, this is unreasonable."

He then looked at the old lady. "Our family is the most well-mannered family. We can't allow this sort of thing to happen. How about we get someone to mention how the elders and the elders are inferior to each other, then won't we make others laugh their teeth out when we go out?"

The more the Gu family declined, the more the Old Master cared about that little bit of face that was left. Because he was relying on this point to linger on the edge of the clan, and on the face of the Gu family's senior, anyone would be willing to be a little more polite to him if they left.

However, if he didn't even have this, then he wouldn't go out again in the future. Actually, he knew everything. He knew that the Gu family was no longer the same as it was before, but the Old Master's life had gone smoothly, with no hardships or hardships. When he was young, he had been the target of everyone's fawning on him.

With such a background, he would only be able to look at others' faces if he went out. That was even worse than killing him. How could he endure it? As a result, the old man's expression changed when he heard Gu Qingwan's words.

Madam Guan hadn't expected Gu Qing Wan to be so sharp with her words and attack the target's heart. As expected, the Old Master's dissatisfaction with her was evident, and she took a deep breath. Gu Qing Wan's words hadn't come as a surprise to her, but her desire to fight him was still too tender!

"You can't say that." Madam Guan's smile was still warm. "Lord Third has put in a lot of effort for this family and left at such a young age. We're the ones who have left you orphans and widows behind." With that, Madam Guan pushed the handkerchief against the corner of her eyes in a proper manner. Then, Gu Qingye could see that her eyes had turned red.

Tsk tsk, Gu Qinglang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. What a good acting skill! If this was in the modern world, he would be able to use an Oscar for film. He probably would have applied ginger juice to the handkerchief as well! She could not help but clap her hands in celebration, before saying, "Everyone has the money to support the money market. Those who don't have the money can borrow money to support the money market."

Madam Guan continued, "We have no way to compensate you in other places. We can only try our best to explain to Qing Qing that this is a good marriage, San Ye's spirit can rest in peace now!"

Rest in peace? Humph! I think he died with grievance! A sarcastic smile appeared on Gu Qingwan's face as she stared at Madam Guan. Her heart skipped a beat as she felt that the Fourth Miss was very different today. An ominous premonition rose in her heart.

Hearing Madam Guan's words, although everyone still had some doubts, they also felt that it made sense. As expected, the old lady and the Old Master's faces turned a lot better.

But Gu Qinglang wouldn't let it pass so easily. Otherwise, he would be ruined for the rest of his life. Why would he let Madam Guan say whatever she wanted?

"Aunt's words are too shameful. Ever since Father passed away, it was all thanks to Aunt for not looking down on the three of us. That's why Qing Qing came here today to thank you on behalf of the Third Branch." With that said, Gu Qing Wan stood up and bowed towards the long room with a sincere and humble attitude.

She didn't say that it was the Old Granny who took care of them, but she took out the long room to show her appreciation. The meaning of her words was that the long room had the final say on who the long room wanted to take in, and there was no hesitation or worry about what the long room wanted to take in.

This time, the old lady was unhappy. This house was still hers, and she hadn't died yet. Was she going to let the master of the house have no scruples? Even though this was the truth, the old lady was still unwilling to be pointed out. It was clear that they also wanted to live under the control of the long room.

Without waiting for Madam Guan to speak, Gu Qing Wan continued, "Therefore, aunt must not give us three concubines for the sake of father's face. We can't afford to take it, and besides, elder sister should look at each other this year, it's not my turn anyway, and I still want to stay with the Old Ancestor for two more years. Before, I was ignorant, so I didn't learn any good rules, but I want to come over often to learn the rules so that I don't embarrass the Gu family if I go out in the future."
