Chapter 33 Double Humiliation
Even though she was so angry that she wanted to skin Gu Jiuqing alive, she still bore the title of Princess Jin after all.
The Gu family members could only invite her in with great frustration.
After entering, Gu Jiuqing ignored the ugly faces of those people and ate happily.
The Gu family members were so humiliated that they were so angry that they couldn't even eat.
But after Gu Jiuqing had had enough wine and food, he yawned and said, "I'm very tired after a long journey today, so I went to my room to rest first.
I hope that after I wake up, I can hear the good news about the dowry, you can do it, right!"
After saying that, she left alone.
The Gu family members looked at her back and almost broke their back molars.
"Mom, please think of a solution quickly! Is it possible that you really want us to spit out the dowry we got?" Gu Yuezhi said aggrievedly,
"You agreed that the dowry was reserved for me! Why should she take it away!"
Lin didn't say anything, and Gu Zhenghuai said with a straight face at the side: "That is Bai Jiangying's thing, you don't feel embarrassed if you deduct it!
You love to take advantage of that person, but I can't afford to lose that person! Give it back to her quickly! Otherwise, she won't let it go every day!"
"But Lord Marquis, those dowries are not because I am greedy, but to supplement my daily household expenses..." Before Lin could finish her words, Gu Zhenghuai dropped his chopsticks with a "snap".
The entire hall fell silent for an instant.
"Do you mean that my daily salary is not enough to cover the expenses of our family?
She actually used her Bai Jiangying's dowry to support the family! It's simply unreasonable! What on earth do you two, mother and daughter, do all day long to spend so much!
I spent it privately, and I have to blame it on me!" Gu Zhenghuai has always had a good reputation, so how could he tolerate others saying that he had spent his wife's dowry.
Even if it was true, Lin said this in public, which really made him lose face.
Thinking of this, his face became even more ugly, and he immediately scolded her in a cold voice: "No matter what method you use, I must make up for the entire dowry for her within three days! If there is any rumors about this dowry outside, don't worry.
I’m sorry I’m so rude!”
After saying that, he snorted coldly, turned around and left without looking back.
The mother and daughter froze in place, looking at each other, and both saw coldness in each other's eyes.
I had always hoped that it would not be Gu Zhenghuai, he was a face-saving and selfish person.
Even if he knew that the dowry had subsidized the family's income, he would not admit it and would only ask her to find a way to solve it!
It's like he acquiesced to using Bai Jiangying's dowry!
The mother and daughter were still discussing the next thing and how to do it, but the concierge at the other end came running over.
"Husband... Madam is not good!" The porter said with sweating profusely, "Prince Jin... Prince Jin... is here!"
"What!" Mrs. Lin's face instantly turned pale with fright, "How could it be! Didn't it mean that Prince Jin is not coming?"
Knowing that Prince Jin was not coming and was being tortured by Gu Jiuqing, they didn't send anyone to greet him at the door.
Moreover, they had already eaten the banquet to welcome the princess back home.
At this time, King Jin suddenly came over, which really caught them off guard.
After all, Mrs. Lin had been in charge of the middle school for many years. At this time, she quickly calmed down and asked: "Where is the Marquis? Let him receive the prince first! I will ask someone to make preparations again!"
"Your Majesty, he went out just now! As soon as he left, the Prince came back!" The housekeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed, "Your Majesty, he must have come at the right time!"
"Stop talking! Go and get ready! I'll go meet the prince!" Lin could only bite the bullet and go ahead.
When Lin hurried to the door, Cang Junming had already walked in with a cold face and angrily.
Except for a few servants, there was no serious person to greet him at the entrance of the mansion.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lin almost fainted from fright.
"Is this the way you treat guests at Pingyuan Marquis Mansion? When I came here, there was no one to greet you! It's really good! Very good!" Cang Junming's voice was not loud, but he was full of momentum.
"I...meet the prince..." Lin almost used the fastest speed in her life. When she finally arrived, she was out of breath.
"The palace of such a large marquis actually sent a concubine to welcome me!" Cang Junming said sarcastically, "Is the Marquis Pingyuan dissatisfied with me?"
Mrs. Lin didn't expect that he could still find trouble like this. It is true that this prince's house has not had a main wife for many years.
It wasn't that Gu Zhenghuai didn't want to make her his wife, but the people from the Bai family put pressure on him and didn't allow him to make her his wife.
But over the years, Mrs. Lin has been managing the inside and outside of the mansion, and she has become the mistress of the house.
There is only a difference in status between her and the main wife.
But this title was caught by Cang Junming at this time.
"No, Your Majesty has misunderstood! Your Majesty, he just left the mansion for business and will be back soon..." Before Lin could finish her words, she was interrupted by Cang Junming coldly,
"On the day when the princess came back, the guests didn't come, so he left the house and went out! This Marquis of Pingyuan still knows the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers!"
Lin, "..."
She felt that King Jin came to visit today just to cause trouble!
What Lin expected was right, Cang Junming came here just to find trouble.
He came here with a lot of resentment, but Gu Jiuqing made a fool of him.
That’s all!
His imperial brother also used Liu Yiyi as a threat to force him to accompany Gu Jiuqing back home.
He hates being forced, but he also has dignity!
Therefore, Cang Junming deliberately waited until this hour to come.
Gu Jiuqing must bear the consequences if he dares to do this to him!
And humiliating her mother's family was a small lesson he gave her!
When Mrs. Lin was almost crying, Gu Yuezhi hurried over.
In such a short period of time, she finished dressing up again.
After some tidying up, her pink face, red lips, and shy eyebrows made her really a beauty that I felt pity for.
"My maid, Gu Yuezhi, has met His Highness the King of Jin!" Gu Yuezhi said with a polite salute, "My maid is late to greet you, and I hope His Highness the King of Jin will forgive me!"
As she said that, she glanced at Cang Junming shyly and couldn't help but blush.
She was specially dressed up according to Liu Yiyi's style.
Presumably, he will be able to catch his eye!
Hearing this, Cang Junming just lowered his eyes and looked at her without saying anything.
But Gu Yuezhi clearly felt his gaze on her, and he was sizing her up.
It seems that her appearance finally attracted Cang Junming's attention!
If she could replace Gu Jiuqing and marry into Prince Jin's palace, she would definitely trample this ugly monster under her feet and crush him to death!
Thinking of this, Gu Yuezhi secretly curled her lips.
"My lord has sent someone to prepare the fragrant tea. Please move to the flower hall for the time being." Gu Yuezhi said softly, "My father will be back soon. Please wait for a moment. Okay?"
As she spoke, she boldly raised her head and met Cang Junming's gaze.
That look instantly made her blush with embarrassment.
At this time, Cang Junming finally spoke.
"You and Gu Jiuqing are different." Cang Junming said coldly.
There is nothing in common between these two sisters.
Their appearance and temperament are also completely different!
Gu Yuezhi thought of Gu Jiuqing's ugly and disgusting appearance, and just when she wanted to show off her knowledge and sense, she was struck by Cang Junming's words and froze on the spot.
Just listen to him say: "But they are all equally self-righteous and annoying!"
Gu Yuezhi, "..."
