Chapter 443 Dispute
Chapter 443 Dispute
In the end, Mrs. Guo San suppressed her anger, mainly because she was concerned about her daughter Jiamei who was about to get married.
Although the matter of raising a wife was discussed with the Yue family before, it was not implemented so quickly. Moreover, now these bad things have happened. The third house cannot come up with such a large sum of money for the time being, so the matter of raising a wife can only be postponed.
Guo Jiaqu is the legal wife. If things get too awkward, Jiamei will suffer!
Mrs. Guo San thought so and could only suppress her anger.
At this time, someone else came outside the house. It was Aunt Deng who brought Guo Jiayan over to add makeup to her.
Aunt Deng walked into the room with a smile on her face, but when she saw the strange atmosphere, she couldn't help but pause.
Si He withdrew her gaze from the bronze mirror, looked at the maid who was dressing beside her, and said, "Continue."
The maids responded immediately and continued with their actions, pretending they hadn't heard what the two had said.
Aunt Deng smiled again, pretending not to notice the strange atmosphere here, "The Third Madam is here too, she's here really early."
Mrs. Guo San glanced at her, still angry and not wanting to pay any attention to her.
Perhaps because her daughter had married into a good family, Aunt Deng was now much more confident than before. When she saw Qian from the third room, her back straightened a lot. She walked forward, looked at Si He again, and said with a smile: "Sister Qu, today is your wedding day. Mother will give you some makeup."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly became tearful. The tears came so suddenly, as if she was reluctant to part with her daughter.
Guo Jiayan, who was standing behind her, looked at Si He's back with complicated eyes, without saying a word.
Originally, Guo Jiayan hoped to marry into the Yue family, but the Guo family did not agree, and her elder sister also did not agree, which made her very frustrated.
They were both born as concubines and grew up with the same mother. It was obvious that she had always been treated better than her elder sister since she was a child, but everything changed after she came back.
Especially when seeing the importance of this marriage and the dowry that is comparable to that of a legitimate daughter, it is impossible not to be jealous and envious.
But Guo Jiayan could only watch with grievance.
As for Aunt Deng's words, Si He said nothing, only replied lightly, "Hmm."
When Aunt Deng saw this, her expression became a little unnatural, and she tightened her grip on the handkerchief. She was still as ungracious as ever.
Ever since she mentioned the matter of following the marriage, she has become even more repulsive to me. She has come to Xiangxueyuan many times, but was turned away with various excuses, making it difficult for her to even see me.
"Sister Qu, I wanted to arrange for Jiayan to marry you off. Are you still blaming me because of this? Are you blaming me for causing you trouble?"
Hearing her words, Si He looked at her in the bronze mirror, said nothing, and looked indifferent, as if he agreed with her words.
Seeing this, the servants beside them lowered their heads a little more silently and worked seriously, pretending that they were deaf.
Mrs. Qian, the third wife of Guo, originally wanted to leave, but after seeing this situation, she stayed quietly and watched coldly.
Aunt Deng added: "I am thinking about you too. After all, Jiayan is your biological sister."
As she spoke, she glanced at Qian Shi beside her. Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, and Si He was indifferent to her, she had no choice but to speak frankly: "Sister Qu, didn't this matter ultimately fail? Besides, even if Jia Yan married in, it wouldn't threaten your position. But others are different. Some people are planning to usurp the throne."
Her words were suggestive, and she did not shy away from the presence of Mrs. Guo San.
But as soon as these words were spoken, many people in the room changed their expressions and became somewhat complicated.
Although Guo Jiamei from the third wife came with the bride, she had previously threatened to be promoted to a co-wife. Many servants knew about this, so it was obvious that the people from the third wife had ulterior motives.
Mrs. Guo San's expression suddenly became even uglier, and the anger that she had just suppressed suddenly rose sharply.
"What did you say?!"
Mrs. Guo San glared at Aunt Deng, feeling a little unbelievable that a concubine dared to mock her so brazenly!
Aunt Deng felt a little scared when she saw Mrs. Guo San's angry look, but in order to make a good impression in front of her daughter, she could only hold on. Moreover, with the marriage to the Yue family, her status in the Guo family would become different in the future. Even if she was the wife of the third room, she had to be cautious.
Thinking of this, Aunt Deng straightened her body, looked at Mrs. Guo San with a stern face, and said, "I'm telling you the truth. Aren't you from the third house trying to get Guo Jiamei the status of a co-wife?"
"You are presumptuous!"
Mrs. Guo was furious and slapped Aunt Deng in the face.
"Snapped!"
The sound was loud and the blow was so heavy that Aunt Deng's head tilted, and she staggered and almost fell.
The people in the room were stunned and silent as a chicken.
"You dare to hit me?!" Aunt Deng was stunned at first, then shocked and angry.
Madam Guo San glared at her fiercely and said, "You lowly concubine! You disregard respect and inferiority. Even if I beat you to death, you deserve it!"
Aunt Deng said angrily: "Oh! I am a lowly concubine, but don't forget, your daughter is also a concubine! My daughter is the principal wife!"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Si He and said, "Qu Jie'er, you must avenge your mother! That Guo Jiamei must not be allowed to rise again!"
At this moment, Aunt Deng seemed to be blinded by anger and dared to say anything.
When Mrs. Guo San heard these words, her chest heaved with anger again. She reached out to hit Aunt Deng again, but she dodged by turning sideways.
"Everyone get out!"
At this time, Si He finally spoke up to drive people away. She had almost seen enough of the excitement and didn't want to waste time with these people.
Madam Guo San turned to look at Si He, and when she saw her cold expression, she couldn't help but sober up a little. Although Aunt Deng's words were unpleasant, they were indeed correct. Before Jiamei was promoted to a co-wife, she was just a concubine. If she did too much today, Jiamei would suffer in the future!
Mrs. Guo San endured it again and again, and finally just glared at Aunt Deng, then turned her sleeves and left without saying anything else.
When Aunt Deng saw Mrs. Guo San leave in defeat, she couldn't help but feel a sense of victory in her heart. This situation had never happened before. Although she was slapped, she was still better than the other one. The people in the Guo family began to be afraid of her!
She stood up straight and sneered at Mrs. Guo San's back.
However, this happiness did not last long.
"You guys get out too!"
Si He once again said something to drive her away.
When Aunt Deng looked at Si He, her expression immediately became aggrieved, "Sister Qu..."
She had just opened her mouth when she saw Si He's eyes became even colder. She immediately shut up and left silently with Guo Jiayan.
As Aunt Deng walked out of the courtyard, the aggrieved look on her face disappeared completely and her eyes became a little gloomy.
