Chapter 651: The Sister Who Married in Place of Others 6
Guo Yueqing looked at her and asked, "Why, Madam, are you going to have dinner again?"
"That's not the case. Madam, for the sake of her health, she will not eat at night. I am here to discuss the matter of going to the palace to see Imperial Concubine Lan in seven days. Imperial Concubine Lan has heard that the daughter of the Earl's family is very good at embroidery.
So Madam asked the young lady to quickly embroider a piece of embroidery and prepare to present it to Concubine Lan when she enters the palace in seven days. "
When Guo Yueqing heard the three words "Empress Lan", she gritted her teeth in hatred, clenched her fists, and her nails were about to dig into her flesh.
"I see. If there's nothing else, go back and serve the lady. I'm going to start embroidering."
Mrs. Li smiled and nodded, then left.
After that, every day was like this. Guo Yueqing would stand for an hour before dawn, serve Qian's mother, and then go on patrol, and then go back to serve Qian's mother again.
Finally, she went back to have dinner and embroider, and was tormented by Qian Fugui again at night. She finally made it to the three days later when she returned home, and was warned by Qian's mother all morning.
"Guo, you are now a member of the Qian family. You will have to go to the palace to see the imperial concubine in two days. What should you say when you return to your own home?
Think carefully about what you shouldn't say. You have nowhere else to go now except the Qian family, and my son has his own things to do.
As a wife, you should be considerate of him, so go back today and make up for your husband in front of your parents."
Guo Yueqing lowered her head: "My daughter-in-law knows."
When they got home, Li Rumei and Guo Yan were already waiting. They found that only Guo Yueqing came back, and they were immediately very dissatisfied: "Where is Qian Fugui?"
"He went to a brothel and had a good time."
"What? The Qian family really doesn't give us any face at all?" Guo Yan, a timid and honest man, was also angry.
Guo Yueqing immediately cried and threw herself into Li Rumei's arms: "Mom, I'm having a hard time, Mom, please save me."
Li Rumei immediately hugged her and asked, "What's wrong? Did the Qian family bully you? Tell mother quickly."
Guo Yueqing talked about her experiences in the past three days, and Li Rumei was so angry that she wanted to go to Qian's mother to argue immediately, but after hearing Concubine Lan.
He suddenly felt sad and gave up the idea of standing up for his daughter. Their family now depended on only one uncle, Guo Yan, to support them.
None of his sons passed the exam, and the title of nobility in their family was only passed down for three generations, and it ended at Guo Yan's turn. If his son didn't rely on himself, he would get nothing.
How could she confront Concubine Lan, who had a prince and a princess, and she could only cry and comfort her daughters.
He also took out some jewelry from his storeroom and asked her to take it back and give it to Qian's mother.
Guo Yueqing also realized that she could not help at all at home, so she could only go back after dinner. Mother Qian looked at her after she came back.
He smiled with satisfaction, knowing that the Bo family did not dare to confront their Qian family, so he abused Guo Yueqing even more severely.
When she entered the palace, she met Concubine Lan. After all, it was the imperial palace and she was a concubine. Concubine Lan was very kind to Guo Yueqing, acting like a good sister.
Let Guo Yueqing take good care of Qian's mother. After all, she is the only elder in the family. Qian Fugui cannot rely on her, so he has to let Guo Yueqing take care of her.
Guo Yueqing agreed with a smile and said she understood.
At this time, Concubine Lan had been pregnant for more than five months, and it had been discovered that the baby was a boy. Mother Qian was immediately excited that it was another prince.
Then the Qian family's position will be more stable, and when the five grandsons grow up, the Qian family will become a prominent family.
When Guo Yueqing learned that Concubine Lan was pregnant with another boy, she felt somewhat desperate and could only endure Qian's mother's torture.
After seeing Guo Yueqing's miserable life for a few days, Luo Chen went to Yiyangbo's house at night and raided the private vaults of Guo Yan and Li Rumei.
Several tens of thousands of taels of silver were also found. Li Rumei had used half of the dowry to marry off her two sons and her daughter.
Even so, there are still tens of thousands of taels of silver left, which is quite rich.
Guo Yan's private treasury had only a few thousand taels of silver. As the head of the family, he was naturally free to spend the family's money.
He just didn't expect that his warehouse would be completely robbed overnight.
The next morning, the Bo's house was in an uproar again. People from the Kyoto government office came to investigate the case again, but again, there were no clues at all and they could find nothing.
Guo Yan and Li Rumei were both angry and anxious. The patient was already lying in bed. Guo Yueqing thought about coming back to take care of him for two days.
However, Qian's mother was afraid that Guo Yueqing wanted to take the Qian family's money back to the Bo Mansion, so she said that serving the mother-in-law was the daughter-in-law's job.
Since it’s not her daughter’s business, Guo Yueqing is not allowed to go back.
More than five months passed, Concubine Lan was about to give birth, and Guo Yueqing was three months pregnant at this time, so Qian's mother let her go.
A few days before Concubine Lan gave birth, she brought Qian's mother into the palace to accompany her. When she gave birth to her first two children, Qian's mother was by her side.
Luo Chen calculated that the time was almost up, and suddenly he remembered a play called "The Cat Substitutes for the Prince". He didn't know whether the emperor liked this play or not.
She planned to give it a try on the day Concubine Lan gave birth, so she disguised herself as a maidservant beside Qian's mother and followed Qian's mother into the palace.
He put the newborn civet cat in his own space and waited for Concubine Lan to give birth.
Two days after Qian's mother entered the palace, Concubine Lan went into labor. Luo Chen immediately stood by Qian's mother's bedside and waited for several hours.
Seeing that the baby was about to come out, Luo Chen immediately performed a trick to deceive the servants in the delivery room and replaced the baby with the civet cat in her space.
But this time it was not a skinned raccoon cat, but a raccoon cat with fur.
After the change was completed, the concealment was immediately removed. Everyone in the delivery room was so scared that they screamed immediately. The emperor, empress and other concubines outside were immediately shocked.
They stretched their necks to look inside. They wanted to see if Concubine Lan had suffered a hemorrhage and left two dead.
At this time, the midwife and the servants in the room were so scared that they ran out immediately, and Qian's mother was so scared that she fainted and fell in the delivery room. Luo Chen ran out among the palace maids.
The emperor immediately ordered his personal eunuch to go in and see what was going on, and he had a bad feeling.
The eunuch carried the civet cat out and handed it to the emperor. The emperor was so frightened that his legs immediately went weak. The concubines in the harem were also frightened out of their wits.
The emperor ordered his men to get rid of the civet cat immediately, then walked out trembling with fear and ordered anyone who knew about this to keep their mouths shut.
You are not allowed to tell anyone, otherwise you will be killed without mercy.
He actually wanted to kill someone, but there were too many people who knew about it today, including the midwife and the maids in Concubine Lan's palace, as well as the servants brought by him and the concubines in the harem.
None of these people go out without a bunch of servants. If he kills so many people at once, his reputation will be ruined.
It was bad enough that Concubine Lan gave birth to a monster, but if he was killing people, it would really confirm the rumors that he was unworthy of his position.
