Chapter 346 Gu Jinxiao has never been involved in women
Wu Changzai sat on the chair to rest: "Do you think it's so easy to be a favorite concubine? Just trying to figure out His Majesty's thoughts is not something that ordinary people can do..."
Tan Er scratched his head and asked in confusion, "No matter what, exposing the noble lady's teaching class is a great achievement, right? Why didn't Concubine Rou go herself, but gave this credit to you?"
Wu Changzai had a complicated expression. Her pale face showed admiration and fear. "This is the power of Concubine Rou."
"Ordinary people would be eager to show off in front of His Majesty and take all the credit for themselves. But Concubine Rou always stays sober and can resist temptation. She knows what credits she can take and what credits she cannot take."
"Yao Zu is indeed in love with the daughter of the engineer in charge of the Ministry of Works. The Wu family discovered this and it is legitimate. Your Majesty will not doubt it, and after it spreads, the world will not doubt it either."
"But Concubine Rou is in the deep palace, and the sons of the Shen family are still young, so they are not within the consideration of the fake noble ladies. If Concubine Rou or the Shen family were to reveal this, someone would definitely ask how they knew it."
"Sometimes, to cover up a lie, you need to tell more lies. If you tell too many lies, it will be easy for people to find out the flaws. So, Concubine Rou should just not get involved in this matter openly."
"Also..."
At this point, Wu Changzai was a little worried: "Like I just said in front of His Majesty, the person who has the ability to establish a class for noble ladies must be a powerful figure that we dare not imagine!"
"Then the person who destroyed the noble lady's teaching class will definitely be retaliated by that mysterious noble..."
"It would be wise for Concubine Rou not to expose herself."
Tan Er was shocked: "So, the young lady and the Wu family are not in danger? Concubine Rou wants us to be scapegoats?!"
Wu Changzai shook her head: "On the contrary, Concubine Rou is saving us."
The more Tan Er listened, the more confused she became: "...what do you mean?"
Wu Changzai continued, "Since Concubine Rou already knows about the noble lady's teaching class, it proves that this matter is not a secret and will spread in the capital sooner or later."
"If Concubine Rou hadn't come to me, and Yaozu had married that fake noblewoman as planned, do you think the Wu family wouldn't be implicated after the incident?"
"At least now, I have revealed this matter to His Majesty, and the Wu family has entered His Majesty's sight. Even if that mysterious noble wants to retaliate, he will be hesitant."
"No matter what, the Wu family's ending will be better than it would have been otherwise. So, although Concubine Rou has her own selfish motives, her gratitude to the Wu family outweighs her hatred."
Tan'er has always known that the young lady is smart. As long as she doesn't encounter anything related to the young master, she is always sober and rational.
"My dear, if you had used your cleverness to win favor, you might not have been here long ago..."
After talking for such a long time, Wu Changzai leaned back in his chair, sweating on his head: "Is it because I don't want to compete for favor that I don't want to? It's because my body is not up to the standard..."
Speaking of this, Tan Er became unhappy again: "Who can I blame? It's because you gave all the supplements to the young master!"
Wu Changzai frowned and said, "We are six sisters, and we only have this one brother. What's the point of a little tonic? Don't mention it again in the future."
……
When the emperor takes action, he will naturally use thundering means!
Not long after, the matter of the noble lady's teaching class was thoroughly investigated, causing an uproar in the capital!!!
All those petty officials who helped the fake noble lady forge her identity were sent to jail!
Among them were the "daughter" of the Ministry of Works' Sijiang family, whom Wu Yaozu was fond of, and the "daughter" of the Imperial College's Chancellor, with whom he was discussing marriage with Gu Jinxiao.
Lord Gu, Madam Gu, and all the members of the Gu family couldn't help but feel a sense of fear!
The Gu family is a prominent family. In order not to make His Majesty wary, they want to marry a wife from a lowly but noble family for Gu Jinxiao, the future head of the Gu family.
Who would have thought that after so much selection, they chose the daughter of the Imperial College's Chancellor, who actually graduated from the noble ladies' class...
In addition to being frightened, everyone in the Gu family couldn't help but feel lucky that the matter was exposed early! Otherwise, in a few days, the Gu family would have officially decided on that fake noble lady.
By then, they will surely become the laughing stock of the capital...
Especially Gu Jinxiao, he is the most outstanding son of the Gu family in recent generations, he has a bright future and is in the emperor's heart!
If he became a laughing stock because of the marriage they forced upon him, Lord Gu and Madam Gu would really feel guilty...
Madam Gu said apologetically, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have forced you to get married. I will never interfere in this matter again!"
Gu Jinxiao's eyebrows were cold and his expression was indifferent: "My son has no intention of getting married, this is very good."
Mrs. Gu started to get anxious again.
An average man in his twenties already has several children.
Jin Xiao is a man of outstanding talent and handsome appearance, and is highly valued by His Majesty. But at this age, let alone marrying a wife, he doesn't even have a maidservant by his side.
How could she not worry...
Mrs. Gu was afraid of making things worse again, so she didn't dare to urge him anymore. She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and just said, "Since ancient times, people have always started a family first, and then established a career..."
"Forget it, mother won't force you. But you have to be careful. If you find someone you like, you must tell mother. Mother will definitely ask the best ice man in the capital to come to your house and propose marriage for you!"
"Marry a virtuous woman, even if her family background is low and her appearance is not good, it doesn't matter!"
Thinking about the fact that Gu Jinxiao is at his age and has never been involved in sex with a woman, I’m afraid I don’t know when he will be able to understand matters between men and women.
Madam Gu gritted her teeth and lowered her standards: "...If it really doesn't work, a second marriage is fine, as long as the character is good!"
Gu Jinxiao was silent for a long time, and said helplessly: "Mother, the more you talk, the more nonsense you become."
Madam Gu laughed and said, "Okay, mother won't nag anymore. But you must remember what mother said today and pay more attention to the girl!"
Gu Jinxiao looked in the direction where Mrs. Gu left and shook his head helplessly.
Now everyone in the capital said that he was lucky, because before he got engaged to the daughter of the Imperial College Supervisor, His Majesty had already found out about the noble lady's class. Otherwise, if he had a fake noble lady as his fiancée, he would have lost his reputation.
Gu Jinxiao thought...are there really such coincidences in the world?
It seemed as if there was someone helping him behind the scenes.
……
Some of the sons of noble families and court officials who married fake noble ladies truly did not know their identities; some knew them, but still enjoyed it and even helped to cover up.
But they all had one thing in common: they were implicated in the fire in their backyards, and either lost their official positions or were demoted to remote and poor places.
In a sense, these men who were blinded by lust were punished.
Naturally, the emperor replaced their vacant official positions with his own people.
