Chapter 185 Who is Gu Yiwen's perfect match? Could it be me?
Gu Yiwen's maternal grandfather was the Vice Minister of the Court of Imperial Clan Affairs.
This man is devoted to his country, but because he is upright and not tactful enough, he has only been a junior official for many years.
However, at this moment, the Emperor and the Crown Prince needed exactly this kind of person.
Qin Wanying knew that the Emperor wanted to give this person an important position in order to deal with the power of the Prince of War and the Empress Dowager in the court.
In the future, if someone gets promoted, Gu Yiwen will likely benefit from it as well.
Of course, these are just Qin Wanying's guesses; she can't see that much yet.
Awen was startled.
My maternal grandfather has actually passed away?
No, I can't let my maternal grandfather seek justice for me!
If my maternal grandfather succeeds in upholding justice for me, then I'll have no choice but to marry him.
No way! I can't marry an abusive man!
Ah Wen was about to leave in a hurry.
As soon as she stepped outside, she bumped into someone's arms.
Looking up, she saw a slender man with a pale face, but very handsome features. His dark eyes looked at her through a pair of narrow pupils.
Awen's face flushed red. This man was indeed elegant and handsome, which perfectly matched her aesthetic.
"Miss, I'm so sorry." Ninth Prince Xiao Yuqi took a step back and nodded slightly.
“It’s alright, it’s fine,” Awen replied.
Realizing there were still very important things to take care of, he hurriedly ran off.
Xiao Yuqi watched the girl's retreating figure, a smile playing on his lips.
Judging from her appearance, this woman is the kind of person who is genuine and has a bit of a bold spirit.
This is exactly the type he likes.
Looking down, I saw a handkerchief on the ground.
I guess he just bumped into the girl, and she fell.
So he bent down and picked it up.
The handkerchief was embroidered with a pair of mandarin ducks and had a faint fragrance.
Xiao Yuqi put the handkerchief away.
When Qin Wanying saw someone enter, she wanted to put on her veil, but when she saw it was the Ninth Prince, she didn't.
The Ninth Prince knew about her fortune-telling at the Heavenly Mystery Garden.
She wondered why the Ninth Prince had come.
Qin Wanying quickly bowed to the Ninth Prince.
The Ninth Prince quickly told her to dispense with the formalities.
The Ninth Prince looked at Qin Wanying, who, if he wasn't mistaken, would be his future sister-in-law.
I wonder how things are going with Fifth Brother.
Seeing Qin Wanying's puzzled expression, the Ninth Prince explained, "I have nothing to do. I was just passing by and came in out of curiosity."
The Ninth Prince recalled the girl who had bumped into him earlier, and then remembered that Qin Wanying was not wearing a veil when he entered, which filled him with doubt.
Who is that girl? Could she be acquainted with Miss Qin? Why wasn't Miss Qin wearing a veil when she saw her?
"Miss Qin, who was that girl just now?"
Qin Wanying knew that the Ninth Prince and the Crown Prince had a very good relationship, so she didn't treat him like an outsider and spoke to him directly.
“That is my good friend from Beitianfang, Gu Yiwen, the daughter of Gu Gaoyuan, the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies.”
"Oh? She actually worked in Beitianfang before?" The Ninth Prince was very interested in Gu Yiwen.
"Yes, she, like me, was a lost child, but she was found by her birth mother many years ago," Qin Wanying replied. She thought to herself, "Why is the Ninth Prince so interested in Awen?"
"Why don't you tell me about her?" The Ninth Prince said with a grin, stepping forward.
Qin Wanying: ......
Could the Ninth Prince have taken a liking to Awen?
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Prince's smile deepened. "Congratulations, you guessed right!"
Qin Wanying stared at the Ninth Prince for a while, but couldn't see any signs of a marriage.
Qin Wanying felt it was inappropriate to casually reveal her best friend's information, but the person in front of her was the Ninth Prince, and she couldn't refuse.
So, he picked out some information that could be easily obtained and told him.
“Awen is Gu Shaoqing’s eldest daughter. Her birth mother passed away less than two years after Awen returned home.”
"Gu Shaoqing elevated his concubine to the status of legitimate wife, and the younger sister born to the concubine became the legitimate daughter."
“Awen and Zhao Yuzhe, the son of the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, will be getting married in two days.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ninth Prince seemed to have been struck by lightning. His smile remained, but his eyes were filled with frost.
The woman he finally fell for was getting married in just two days.
After thinking it over, Qin Wanying decided to tell the Ninth Prince the truth.
She felt that the Ninth Prince was a good choice for Awen.
"However, Awen's sister wants to steal Awen's marriage and marry Zhao Yuzhe. Awen has decided to give in to his sister and not marry him himself."
The frost in the Ninth Prince's eyes faded.
Thank goodness, it was a false alarm!
The Ninth Prince was a smart man. Although Qin Wanying didn't go into too much detail, he could guess what was going on.
The fact that the younger sister dared to steal her older sister's marriage shows that the family favors the younger sister, indicating that Gu Yiwen's life at home has been difficult since her mother died.
Was Gu Yiwen able to decide to grant her sister's wish because Qin Wanying saw that there might be problems with the marriage and advised her not to marry him?
Who is Gu Yiwen's perfect match? Could it be Gu?
Thinking of this, a smile appeared in the Ninth Prince's eyes again.
Qin Wanying pondered the matter of Awen's family.
She had heard her father, brothers, and the Crown Prince mention some things about the previous dynasty.
Zhao Sheng, the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, is a confidant of the Empress Dowager, and His Majesty must have always wanted to get rid of him.
Perhaps the matter concerning Awen's family will be a breakthrough.
-----------------
Gu Zhai.
Gu Yiwen's stepmother, Madam Xue, and her younger sister, Gu Yilan, were in the bedroom.
Madam Xue looked at the chests and chests of dowry displayed in the room, her eyes revealing greed.
This dowry was originally left by Gu Yiwen's birth mother and was originally part of Gu Yiwen's dowry.
Now, with a little ingenuity, the mother and daughter have managed to get Gu Gaoyuan and the Zhao family to agree to the marriage exchange, allowing Gu Yilan to marry into the Zhao family. In this way, the dowry will naturally become her daughter's dowry.
"The Lin family has been suppressing me for so many years. You never expected this, did you? Your dowry has now become my daughter's."
Gu Yilan smiled.
She felt extremely pleased that she could outdo Gu Yiwen, steal Gu Yiwen's man, and take away Gu Yiwen's dowry.
"It's her good fortune that these Lin family items can become my dowry," Gu Yilan said with a smile.
Madam Xue looked at Gu Yilan with eyes full of expectation and affection.
"Daughter, you will soon be the principal wife of the eldest son of the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies. Your father is only the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies. Moreover, the future of the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies is limitless. Your good days are yet to come!"
Gu Yilan thought her daughter was clever. She had deliberately created an opportunity to meet Zhao Yuzhe, making him fall for her and agree to the marriage exchange.
The Zhao family has agreed, so even if Gu Yiwen makes a fuss, it won't change anything.
Her daughter is truly blessed!
"It's all thanks to Mother's good upbringing. After I marry into the family and have a successful life, I will never forget you, Mother. I want you to enjoy the good life with me," Gu Yilan said.
Madam Xue looked at her daughter; her daughter was indeed sensible!
"As for Gu Yiwen, she looks like she has no good fortune. How can she compare to you?" Madam Xue felt happy when she thought of Gu Yiwen.
She always compared herself to Lin Shi in everything, even after Lin Shi died of illness, she still considered herself superior.
She was proving all the time that the Lin family's daughter was inferior to her own!
Gu Yilan thought of Lin Shi again. When Gu Yiwen went missing, she was overjoyed, thinking that she was now the only daughter in the family. But she never expected that Lin Shi would find her and bring her back.
Fortunately, Lin died early, and her father made her mother his legal wife. Whenever she had the chance, she would make things difficult for Gu Yiwen.
Now that I've stolen her marriage, I feel incredibly satisfied.
"Gu Yiwen, if you miss such a good opportunity, you definitely won't marry a good man in the future. Do you think you can marry a prince?" Gu Yilan said with a look of disdain.
In any case, Gu Yiwen will never marry better than her.
Besides, Zhao Yuzhe is very polite and seems like a gentle person. He will definitely treat her well in the future!
"The young lady is back," a maid announced as she entered.
Gu Yiwen had a fight with them this morning and stormed off. She only just returned now.
"Then let's go out and take a look." Gu Yilan stood up gracefully, she was happy to see Gu Yiwen make a fool of himself.
