Chapter 426: King Rui’s Melancholy

After Gu Zizhan sent Zheng Jinshu away, he went to Gu Ziyan's yard.

After taking a look, he saw that she was still resting, so he asked Xiaotao and Xiaoyan to take good care of her.

Then he arranged for Mo Yan and asked Wen Zhu to arrange six servants to come to Gu Ziyan's yard.

Specially serve them mother and daughter.

"Has mother woken up?" Gu Zizhan asked Wen Zhu.

Wenzhu lowered his head.

Gu Zizhan said: "Just say it!"

"After the princess woke up, she had a quarrel with the prince and returned to her parents' home."

"okay!"

Gu Zizhan's grandfather had passed away long ago, but his grandmother was still alive, and she had always been nice to him.

My grandmother is also someone who can tell right from wrong, so it’s good to have someone to talk to.

In the evening he planned to have dinner with Mo Yan and his mother in Gu Ziyan's room.

It's just time for dinner.

Gu Zizhan looked at his second brother and sister-in-law coming over together.

Seeing my second brother still wearing his official robe, I thought he would just come over after he resigned.

"Third brother is here."

"Ah."

"How is elder sister? Are you okay?"

As they talked, the two of them walked to Gu Ziyan's bed.

Gu Ziheng looked at his elder sister who used to be gentle and virtuous, but now looked so haggard.

I feel sad.

The people in the Duke's Mansion are so inhumane.

I heard from Huayi that my eldest sister wanted to divorce.

Gu Ziheng looked at Gu Ziyan's haggard face and said, "Sister, don't think too much. I support you in whatever you want to do. Although I haven't achieved much, I will still be your support in the future. If I can't be relied on, there is still my third brother! You don't need to care about what mother says about this matter."

Hua Yi also told him what happened at noon.

He was in favor of his eldest sister's divorce, although divorce was not allowed in aristocratic families. However, the Duke's Mansion treated his sister so humiliatingly, which showed that they did not take the Rui Palace seriously.

If this incident is left unresolved, it will probably get worse next time.

And looking at Mo Yan, he is living this kind of life, which shows that the Duke's Mansion is not a good place.

Can’t a courtyard as big as the Rui Wang Mansion accommodate my two sisters?

My mother has always valued fame and fortune in her life, as if nothing else matters.

But he is not, and neither is his third brother.

They only have this one sister, so of course they hope her happiness is more important.

Gu Ziyan looked at the worry in her second brother's eyes and nodded: "Okay, sister will rely on you from now on."

She turned to look at Mo Yan next to her and gently touched his shoulder: "Don't worry, stay in the mansion. This will be your home from now on."

"Okay, thank you, second uncle."

"Well, you should rest for a few days and go to the academy after your injury is healed. Wait for your two brothers to come back later and let them tutor you."

"it is good."

"Anyway, you all studied in the same academy and are all pretty much the same age."

Gu Ziheng and his two sons, the eldest is only fourteen years old and the oldest is twenty-two years old.

And Mo Yan is eleven years old.

Most of the children of officials in the capital were studying in the Imperial College, Wenxuan Academy, and Bolan Academy.

Among these three academies, the Imperial College only accepts students with good grades and royal students; others are not allowed to enter.

The Bo Lan Academy is in the middle, and students with upper-middle-level academic performance and upper-middle-level family background can enter.

Compared with these two academies, Wenxuan Academy is for the children of ordinary officials and some sons of wealthy businessmen.

However, apart from the Imperial College, the other two are very expensive and most people cannot afford them. Those with excellent academic performance can get some exemptions.

The children of other people cannot enter these colleges.

There are different levels and circles in Jingzhong College.

Gu Ziheng's two children and Mo Yan are all in the Expo Academy.

To go to the Imperial College, one had to be over twelve years old, and had to take exams, and only those with excellent grades would be admitted.

There are just three people in one academy, so they can teach Mo Yan.

Dinner, because Gu Ziyan couldn’t get out of bed.

So Gu Ziheng and Gu Zizhan accompanied Mo Yan to have dinner here.

Fang Huayi accompanied Gu Ziyan to eat by the bed.

Fang Huayi looked at her elder sister-in-law and sighed in her heart.

A woman's destiny is really not in her own hands!

The elder sister-in-law is much better than her in terms of knowledge and family background.

But my son-in-law doesn't know how to cherish it.

Suddenly she felt that although her mother-in-law spoke harshly and looked down on her, she had never bullied her.

"Big sister, just take care of your health, good days are ahead."

Although she also felt that if the woman really divorced, what would she do in the future!

But now it is more important to take care of your health, and we can talk about other things later.

But the eldest sister will be in Prince Rui's Mansion in the future, so she has no objection even if Ziheng continues to serve her.

This is Ziheng’s eldest sister and of course also her biological sister.

Moreover, over the years, whenever she was troubled by her mother-in-law, her elder sister-in-law often came to her rescue.

As a person, you must know how to be grateful, only then will you be rewarded with good things.

Gu Ziyan felt relieved after seeing the attitude of her second brother and sister-in-law.

At least, except for her mother, everyone in her natal family supports her.

After dinner, Gu Ziheng and Fang Huayi left.

Gu Zizhan called Mo Yan away.

Let Gu Ziyan have a good rest.

Gu Zizhan took Mo Yan to his study.

Looking at Mo Yan: "Yan'er, if your mother really divorces your father, you will face a lot of gossip in the future. Are you afraid?"

Mo Yan shook his head: "Don't be afraid, I am a man, if I can't accept any gossip, how can I achieve great things! In the future, I will work hard to get a good reputation and repay my mother."

Gu Zizhan saw that although Mo Yan was only eleven years old, he was usually relatively taciturn.

Children from aristocratic families are naturally precocious, and Mo Yan is more stable than his peers because of his family environment.

Mo Yan thought about what had happened recently and was extremely disappointed with his father.

In addition, when he was born, the Duke's Mansion already had a concubine's eldest son and concubine's eldest daughter.

He was not the first child in the Duke's Mansion, and his father did not favor him any more just because he was the legitimate son.

It can be said that they were treated similarly. If you want to go into details, my father treated his two half brothers and half sister better.

So he doesn't have deep feelings for his father.

His mother would be very supportive if he wanted to divorce.

As he gets older, he understands many things more clearly.

So he also had some calculations about what happened today. He hoped that his mother would get a divorce.

My mother would not be happy if she continued to stay in the Duke's Mansion.

Gu Zizhan felt relieved after hearing Mo Yan's words.

I’m afraid it will have too much impact on my children.

Moreover, there are basically no divorced families in Beijing.

After Gu Zizhan and Mo Yan had a heart-to-heart talk.

He became even more dissatisfied with the Duke's Mansion. A son had no attachment to his father at all. This showed what kind of life he lived in the Duke's Mansion.

Gu Zizhan sent Mo Yan back to Gu Ziyan's yard.

He left only after seeing Mo Yan enter the yard.

As a result, I passed by the main courtyard and saw my father drinking alone in the yard.

That look is so lonely.

Gu Zizhan stepped in and saw his father drinking and worrying.

I don’t know if it was because of the quarrel between his sister or his mother.

Prince Rui's face was a little flushed, it seemed he had drunk a lot.

King Rui looked at the person who came and said, "The third brother is back."

"Well, I heard that mother and you had a quarrel again."

King Rui listened and raised his lips slightly, forcing a smile and said, "It's okay, your mother is just like that. Wait until you go back and let your grandmother teach you a lesson, and then I'll go pick her up, and she'll come back obediently."
