Chapter 246 Charming Skinny Horse & Pure-hearted Prince 20
Gu Yunyan smiled and called out with a smile: "Sister."
Gu Ya glared at her, snorted, and turned her head away without calling anyone. Her arrogance, disdain, and contempt for others were very irritating.
Gu Lin was successfully angered.
"The elders and the young should respect each other. Call for help! If you still don't know the importance of etiquette, don't blame me for reducing your dowry by half!"
"father--!!
Gu Ya's eyes widened, she stamped her feet, and her voice was shrill and long, as if she couldn't believe what she heard was true.
"Butler, that's all, no need..."
Gu Lin did what he said, but at that moment, he didn't hear Gu Ya calling for help, so he immediately gave instructions to the butler.
"Sister! Dad, I'm calling you sister!" Gu Ya was a little panicked. Seeing that he was serious, she quickly asked someone to interrupt him.
"That's right, your mother is seriously ill and can't manage the household."
"Your sister can help manage and worry about your dowry, you should be grateful and respect her. From now on, the three of you will support each other..."
Gu Lin's expression relaxed, and he spoke earnestly and expectantly.
Maybe it’s because Gu Ya is getting married, and she suddenly feels that her child has really grown up, and she is filled with emotion.
He talked a lot of words to make the three of them get along harmoniously.
Hearing Gu Ya frowning frequently and making small movements with her hands, it was obvious that she was impatient, but she did not dare to resist.
Gu Yunyan saw it clearly, but Gu Lin's eyes were blurry due to his old age.
Not only could he not see it, he even praised her: "Ya'er is going to get married. She is much more sensible than before. I am very happy as a father."
Gu Yunyan: “…”
Haha, he is really blind. No wonder he was deceived by Su Qin for so many years and had to rely on her to discover the truth.
After waiting for a long time for him to finish speaking, he took a sip of tea, opened his mouth, and began to chatter again.
Gu Ya stood up and ran out: "Dad, I'm going to see Mom!"
Gu Lin shook his head and laughed, cursing, "This kid, I just praised her for being steady and sensible, and now she's jumping around, what will happen to her when she marries into the Duke's Mansion and becomes a royal consort in the future?"
"Forget it. As long as I, her father, am here, no one in her husband's family will dare to bully her." And she also has her brother Gu Wen.
The words seemed like a scolding, but the tone was helpless and intimate.
He didn't force her to change her temper or learn more rules. One can imagine how deep the father-daughter relationship between Gu Lin and Gu Ya is.
Gu Yunyan felt a little touched when her dowry was returned to her last night.
Now I just want to say that Gu Lin wants to treat everyone equally, but for her who just returned to the Gu family, it is already unfair.
She suffered for more than ten years outside, while Gu Ya grew up in the Gu family with luxurious living.
Adored by noble ladies and gentlemen from aristocratic families.
She didn't suffer at all. If you have to say she suffered, it was probably because she was unhappy that she didn't get to marry Su Yuan as she wished.
But the eldest grandson of the Duke's Mansion, Prince Lin, has a very good family background and appearance.
For Gu Ya, it was a marriage that was well-matched. There were many girls who wanted to get married but couldn't. How could it be said that she was suffering?
......
"Mom?! How did you become like this?!"
Gu Ya really went to see Su Qin. After coming back from the farm, she was depressed for several days because of the arranged marriage.
Later, he lost face at the banquet and was depressed for several days.
In addition to Gu Lin's deliberate concealment, Su Qin did not want her daughter to know the truth and create a rift between her and her father, and to be without the support of her father and brothers from her natal family in the future.
I was bullied in the Duke's Mansion and have kept it a secret until now.
Su Qin's face turned pale, but because Gu Ya was getting married a few days later, Gu Lin stopped poisoning her and she felt better.
"Mom is fine. She is much better now."
"By then, mother will have to watch her daughter Ya'er get married, give birth to children, and then wait to become a grandmother."
She caressed Gu Ya's face with a loving look on her face. She is truly a good mother.
Gu Ya didn't know the truth, but she wrinkled her nose and complained angrily: "Mom, please get well soon."
"Dad is too much. She gave all your dowry to Gu Yunyan."
"She even asked Gu Yunyan to prepare a dowry for me. What good intentions could she have? She will definitely pretend to obey but secretly disobey and pass off inferior goods as good ones!"
Anyway, she didn't believe that Gu Yunyan would be nice to her and would not do anything about it.
"Ahem! You said your father gave all the dowry that mother prepared for you to Gu Yunyan?!"
Su Qin couldn't help coughing, and when no one could see her, she clutched the corner of the quilt tightly and asked.
Gu Ya paused. She really didn't know what her father had given to Gu Yunyan.
But it must be a lot, maybe all of them were given away?
She puffed her cheeks and nodded, saying seriously, "I have to buy my dowry now. The shop you gave to your daughter before was taken away by my father."
Among those shops is the time-honored pastry shop - Fuyuanzhai.
The business was extremely good, with countless dignitaries coming to buy, and she could earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every year.
She likes to eat it herself, too.
Now that Gu Lin had exchanged it for other shops and money, she was very unhappy. She didn't want to do it but couldn't stop it.
Very frustrated.
Before Gu Yunyan, how could she have ever suffered such injustice?
Su Qin had long regarded the dowry as her own, and had managed it with all her heart and soul for so many years, making a wedding dress for someone else.
His pale face flushed red.
Those who had some weak bodies now have strength, and they feel more energetic and full of power.
She turned to the wet nurse.
"Go and tell the general that my wife wants to see him about the dowry. If he doesn't come, it will be too late to regret it."
There was worry on the nanny's face, and she didn't know whether the general would come.
The general saw his wife was unhappy and wished she would die immediately.
He hated these ladies' trusted servants who served closely around them even more.
In addition to her, other people are still selling.
Beat her to death, will the general attack her in a rage? !
Gu Ya raised the corner of her mouth.
Holding Su Qin's arm, she acted coquettishly: "It's good to have mom around. Dad has a new daughter now, and he's not as nice to me as before."
"Mom, please get well soon and marry Gu Yunyan off."
"It would be best to find her a young man who looks good on the outside but is actually corrupt while dad is away."
"It would be great if she couldn't surpass me no matter what she did."
Su Qin smiled bitterly in her heart. She had been poisoned and even if she stopped taking the medicine now she couldn't be saved. She could live for at most another month before she would go to the underworld to see her parents.
She raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair that had fallen behind Gu Ya's ear.
She said softly, "Ya'er, be good and listen to me. Go back and rest first. I will definitely ask your father about the dowry."
"I won't let you lose face or be laughed at by outsiders."
"Well, I'm leaving. Mother, you must ask father to return the dowry, especially Fuyuanzhai."
"You know, I like Fuyuanzhai's pastries the best."
"Okay, I will talk to your father and ask him to give you Fuyuanzhai so that my Yaer will have enough cakes to eat."
......
"Tell me, what's hidden in the dowry? Do you have to ask someone to call me over?"
Gu Lin spoke coldly and felt disgusted and repulsive when he looked at Su Qin. He just stood sideways in front of the bed and didn't even sit down to rest.
Not to mention tea, he couldn't drink it.
