On the second day, when Gu Jinyan went to the palace of the Ming Dynasty to greet Concubine Ming again, he was stopped by the concierge in front of the mansion and told that the prince had ordered him not to enter the palace.

Gu Jinyan asked the concierge to send a message to Concubine Ming, but she could only get the order from Concubine Ming who sent someone to say that the grandfather of the country had ordered her.

Gu Jinyan didn't believe what Concubine Ming said, but just wanted him to compromise first.

On the same day, rumors spread that the Prince of Anjun was unfilial and untidy.

On the third day of the court, the courtiers all peeped at Gu Jinyan, and once they met his eyes, they pretended to look at the sky and the earth instead of him.

Even the father-in-law General Chu stepped forward, grabbing a little space to talk to him, and asked him what was going on.

After the court, Gu Jinyan stopped Gu Nuoyan and asked him to withdraw the order. After all, Concubine Ming was still in the mansion, so there was no reason to stop him from entering the mansion to ask for peace.

However, Gu Nuoyan said with a cold face: "Isn't the second brother capable?"

Gu Jinyan was also pissed off by Gu Nuoyan.

Seeing that the rumors could spread so fast, he asked people to check them, and sure enough, it was the catkins who spread it out.

Gu Jinyan was still thinking about whether Gu Nuoyan's brain was flooded, and he came up with the trick of preventing their husband and wife from entering the house. Or is it that Gu Nuoyan is learning from him, regardless of the cost, just to vent his anger?

He forbids Liu Xu from stepping into the Anjun Prince's Mansion, and outsiders will more or less guess that it was Liu Xu who did something wrong to their husband and wife. Since he is now higher in status than Gu Nuoyan, and is valued by the emperor, Willow Catkins will definitely be difficult and excluded by the ladies. However, their husband and wife did not attend the nephew's banquet, and outsiders would only say that their husband and wife were small, and even the nephew was angry. They interact with Gu Nuoyan normally, and others will praise Gu Nuoyan for his generosity. The sister-in-law and the brother's family have discord, more or less, in every household, but they will hide it inside. He Gu Jinyan put this matter on the surface, in general, he is no better than Liu Xu.

Of course, Gu Jinyan was also thoughtful. He deliberately added a stigma to himself and set up a person who was motivated. After all, the water conservancy project gave him a reputation among the people. Even if General Chu surrendered military power, the emperor would still be somewhat guarded against him.

In the same way, don't look at the rumors about him now, it's just the result of the willow catkins manipulating the rumors.

No matter what quarrels between their brothers, Gu Nuoyan had absolutely no reason to stop him from saying goodbye to his mother.

With Gu Nuoyan's attitude, he has nothing to say.

On the one hand, the previous incident was suppressed by the ancient filial piety thought, and on the other hand, because Gu Nuoyan didn’t take action, Gu Jinyan, a person who grew up in modern society, couldn’t give Liu Xu a way to retaliate. The matter of his own body came, he had to endure it.

Now that Gu Nuoyan doesn't care about brotherhood, he will not be soft-hearted as an outsider.

After that, whether it was Gu Jinyan or Chu Qingyun who went to Concubine Ming, they were stopped at the gate of the Duke Ming's mansion every time.

All of a sudden, rumors spread in Beijing that there was a lot of uproar, and people who had nothing to do were still squatting in front of the Duke of Ming's mansion to watch the excitement.

Concubine Ming sent a letter from Mammy Li, asking him to convince Gu Nuo. After reading it, Gu Jinyan didn't reply, so she shook her head at Mammy Li and asked her to bring the good herbs back to Mama Li.

Chu Qingyun was very worried, looking at Gu Jinyan's eyes with a hesitant expression.

"In order to avoid the battle of the princes, the father-in-law surrendered his military power. We can't go to this muddy water just to make the mother-in-law happy." Gu Jinyan said.

Gu Jinyan is not the original body, but he will not follow the ideas of Concubine Ming and Gu Nuoyan.

Gu Jinyan would not take this rumor in his heart.

To say that the emperor did not receive the news, Gu Jinyan would not believe it, even if the emperor did not express it, then he should not panic.

Gu Jinyan was no longer soft-hearted and let people muddy the water, which showed that the prince was also unfilial, disregarding his mother's thoughts, and stopped his brother from asking for peace.

When Liu Xu received the latest rumors from Beijing, she gritted her teeth with hatred. Why is her husband being unfilial? Hmph~ Gu Jinyan is not a good thing, it must be a rumor spread by him.

Willow catkins hurriedly asked people to guide public opinion, but it was useless. The public condemned the unfilial and unfilial king of Anjun, and also condemned the unfilial Duke of Ming.

Gu Jinyan doesn't care about rumors, what should he do!

Gu Nuoyan couldn't bear it anymore. He has always been praised by others since he was a child.

"Mother-in-law, it's all the daughter-in-law's fault! The daughter-in-law should stop her husband from letting him pull the second brother to support the fourth prince." Liu Xu knelt in front of Concubine Ming and said sincere words.

There are rumors outside that the concubine has always attracted people's attention. During these days, she was worried day and night. She sent letters to Jin'er. Why didn't Jin'er understand her good intentions? The fourth prince is his cousin, can the fourth prince treat him badly when he is in power? How could he not understand?

"Daughter-in-law, ask mother-in-law to punish!" Willow Sui lay on the ground.

"If you hadn't harmed Jin's daughter-in-law and made Jin'er become estranged, how could he disobey his eldest brother?" Concubine Ming thought of this, and she had the heart to eat catkins. Their two sons turned out to be brothers and sisters, and they had a close relationship.

Concubine Ming regretted it, she shouldn't be soft-hearted and let Nuoer marry her.

"Seeing my husband being slandered like this, my daughter-in-law feels uncomfortable. If she can, her daughter-in-law is willing to replace her." Liu Xu sobbed as she spoke.

After a long while, Liu Xu slammed her head a few times, and then said: "Thousands of mistakes are all the fault of the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law will go to the younger brother and sister to apologize."

After speaking, Liu Xu stood up, turned around and staggered out. Walk.

"Stop!" Concubine Ming smashed a teacup.

"Mother concubine?" Liu Xu turned around, her forehead was broken and blood was still dripping, showing how strong the heads were. Coupled with the tea splashed by the tea cup that Concubine Ming smashed over, it was as embarrassing as it was.

Concubine Ming didn't feel distressed at all when she saw such a catkin, and said, "Will your husband not be disturbed by rumors if you plead guilty? This will only make things worse." Willow catkins knelt down again and cried out, choked: "Mother-in-law, what should I do with my daughter-in-law? I beg you to show my daughter-in-law a clear way, even if she wants her life." If it was possible, Concubine Ming really wanted to give Liu Xu to Jin'er, and he could do whatever he wanted. . But it's all like this, Nuoer is still protecting her, and she is still Brother Chen's mother. For Nuo'er and Chen Ge'er, she couldn't do anything to the catkins. Concubine Ming took a deep breath: "Go back to the yard to reflect on it, the concubine will handle this matter." "How can I make the concubine work?" Liu Xu raised her head and looked at Concubine Ming with a terrified expression. Concubine Ming waved her hand impatiently and asked Catkin to return to the yard. Concubine Ming closed her eyes in pain, she couldn't let Nuoer sit down and stop Jiner from entering the house. The moment Liu Xu turned around, a successful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Gu Jinyan and Chu Qingyun routinely asked in front of the Duke of Ming's mansion, and they planned to go back to the mansion. At this time, the main door opened, and Concubine Ming walked out surrounded by servants. Gu Jinyan's pupils shrank slightly. "The son/daughter-in-law has seen the mother-in-law." Gu Jinyan and Chu Qingyun saluted. "Brother Yao has already been adopted by the Marquis of Huaiyuan, so there's no reason to hold it in front of the concubine. This is what the concubine forced." Concubine Ming said faintly. Gu Jinyan frowned, secretly screaming bad. He quickly said, "What did the concubine say..." "Let's advance to the mansion." Concubine Ming interrupted Gu Jinyan's words and turned around to enter the mansion. "It turns out that Concubine Ming didn't let her son into the mansion!" "We are wrong to blame Duke Ming." The voices of the onlookers reached Gu Jinyan and Chu Qingyun's ears.

Gu Jinyan and Chu Qingyun, you look at me, I look at you, and a heart sinks.

...

Entering the Rong En Hall, Gu Jinyan and Chu Qingyun didn't speak, and looked at Concubine Ming together.

Concubine Ming's eyes dodged, not meeting their eyes.

"Mother and concubine are also forced to help. The rumors can't be passed on anymore, it's not good for the two governments."

"It's not good for the elder brother, right? So I sacrificed my son!" Gu Jinyan said coldly.

"I didn't want to sacrifice you. Brother Yao went out by adoption. Others would only say that the concubine forced her." Concubine Ming hurriedly explained. Jin'er is also the son she loves, how could she be willing to sacrifice him.

"That is to let the son's father-in-law take the blame?" Gu Jinyan said sarcastically, his eyes showing no warmth.

"Mother, how can you do this?" Chu Qingyun asked sharply. At this moment, Chu Qingyun didn't care about being obedient to her mother-in-law as a daughter-in-law.

"Mother concubine, you choose eldest brother again and again, have you ever thought about your son's feelings?" Gu Jinyan is not the original person, and he does not have such deep mother-son affection for Concubine Ming, but he still looks disheartened.

"Jin'er, concubine mother loves you." Seeing her younger son's disheartened appearance, Concubine Ming's heart throbbed in pain.

Gu Jinyan smiled desolately: "However, between the son and the eldest brother, the concubine will always choose the eldest brother."

Concubine Ming was stunned, unable to say anything to refute.
