Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Chapter 177 People say you are selfish because they don’t take advantage of you

"I'm in my own courtyard, and I can't speak?" Wang said angrily. "Besides, since she dared to do it, she shouldn't be afraid of what others will say. This is not a lie I made up."

"I just saw that the third girl will soon enter the Eastern Palace. There is no Queen in the palace. I heard from the master before that after her wedding, she will be in charge of the affairs. Then her words will naturally carry weight. If she says a few words to Princess Jin, Ruoxing will feel better."

Wang's tone and expression were full of grievance, as if her request was justified. She had already forgotten what she had said to her daughter about Gu Qinghe a few months ago.

At that time, the mother and daughter were hoping that Gu Ruoxing and the prince would be destined to be together, so that they could trample Gu Qinghe under their feet. But in the end, the fate was Gu Qinghe's, and it was a fate that the prince had forced upon himself.

How can one not be jealous of this?

After hearing what the lady said, Mother Feng sighed in her heart. As the saying goes, you have to plant trees to enjoy the shade. The lady and the second girl were thinking about digging up the tree every day, and now they want it to shelter them from the wind and rain. It is really unreasonable.

"Madam, from now on, you must treat the second lady and the third young lady sincerely. If the second young lady is really uncomfortable in Prince Jin's Mansion, the third young lady will not turn a blind eye to it." Mother Feng advised.

"If you're not living comfortably?" Wang asked with red eyes. "Ruoxing wrote to me saying that Prince Jin rarely comes to her courtyard, and Princess Jin is always finding fault. How can she possibly be living comfortably?"

"It's only been more than two months. Once the second young lady gets to know Prince Jin, she will definitely get better. How can a couple be so close to each other right away?" After Mother Feng finished speaking, the second master and the second mistress suddenly flashed through her mind. They were an enviable couple.

"If I can't capture my husband's heart from the beginning, it will only be harder later." Wang said, her voice rising again, "Forget it, I don't have the strength anymore. Let the old lady talk to her. I'll just tell her that she will always feel sorry for her granddaughter."

"In my opinion, you'd better not interfere in anything and just let nature take its course. Your daughter is a concubine listed in the royal imperial edict, and her food, clothing and expenses are all rationed. I really can't understand how you want your third niece to help? Do you want her to send some money to Ruoxing?" Gu Hong's voice was getting closer and closer. He walked in with an envelope in his hand and a bad look on his face.

"Another letter has arrived, saying that they don't have enough money. If I ask my third niece to help, should we empty the East Palace or use up my second sister-in-law's dowry?" Gu Hong put the letter in front of Wang's face. "Take a look at it yourself. It's the end of the year, and I don't have any spare money. You can go back to the Wang family to ask for it."

Wang Shi hadn't finished reading the letter. When she heard Gu Hong asking her to go back to the Wang family to ask for money, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Husband?" This is the daughter of your Gu family. How can you ask the Wang family to pay for it?

"Really? The relationship between Ruoxing and Qinghe is now just that they both have the surname Gu. The friendship between them has long been ruined by you two. Don't humiliate yourselves." Gu Hong said with great sorrow.

"I told you a long time ago that I taught her not to show off her wealth since she was a child. Look at what she's doing now?" Gu Hong asked.

What could Wang do? Her daughter wrote to her saying that because of the New Year, she had to give rewards to people and her money was spent very quickly. She was spending money but not earning any, so naturally her money would soon be gone.

"Using money to buy a man's heart is the first time I've heard of it. I wonder how Madam taught you that?"

This time Wang understood clearly that Gu Hong came here today just to find fault. One question after another made her breathless.

"Then my poor teaching was caused by just one or two days?" Wang asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Now that things have come to this, you come here to question me?"

Before Gu Hong could say anything, Wang Shi continued, "You always criticize your second brother. Look at how he raises his children and how he considers them. He even sends his daughter to the Imperial College for Girls, just to make two friends."

If it weren't for Princess Yunhua's friend who came from the royal family, Gu Qinghe might not have caught the prince's eye, and he wouldn't be in such a huge gap now.

"I'm not as good as my second brother. I've said it before, don't compare. You're not as good as my second sister-in-law, and Ruoxing is not as cheerful and generous as Qinghe." Gu Hong said this and left.

Only Wang was left with tears flowing silently, crying "Wuwu——" and shouting, "My daughter, your life is so miserable, and I am also miserable——"

*

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the masters of the third house had a big quarrel. Even though they tried to cover it up, the news soon spread throughout the Gu Mansion.

Yingchun and Wangchun walked in, trying not to laugh. "Miss, the Third Master and the Third Madam had a quarrel. It was said that it was because of the Second Miss."

"Oh?" Gu Qinghe put down the book in his hand curiously and looked up to ask, "What happened to the second young lady?"

"It's still about money," Yingchun said. "I heard that."

Gu Qinghe shook his head. "Third Uncle will have a quarrel with Third Aunt sooner or later. He was already unhappy that his legitimate daughter became a concubine, but now the concubine has to behave in a lowly way and buy people's hearts with money, which makes him even more uncomfortable."

"It's all fate." Wangchun concluded seriously.

Upon hearing this, Gu Qinghe thought about how her second sister in her previous life did not marry the Prince of Jin, but she did not live a very comfortable life either. In the end, she even did something as despicable and extreme as climbing into the dragon bed. As a result, she could not even raise her head in front of Xiao Jingheng.

From this we can see that if you are not good enough, it will be difficult to live a comfortable life no matter which man you marry. For a woman, the most important thing is to rely on yourself.

"Everyone has their own destiny, but remember, you still have to rely on yourself to live a good life." Gu Qinghe said, pointing to his left chest, "The feeling here is the most important."

"Yes, young lady, what you said makes sense. I am grateful for your advice." Yingchun said with a smile, "Young lady, if you have come across other great truths, please pass them on to us."

Wangchun also agreed and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I like it best when girls teach us."

"I'm not an old scholar." Gu Qinghe rolled up the book beside him and tapped it twice in his palm. "But I have one more thing I want to share with you, my latest insights."

She smiled faintly and lowered her voice, "Sometimes, selfish people live more comfortably. If they don't try to do everything, they will feel much more comfortable."

"But what if others say you are selfish?" Wangchun asked.

Gu Qinghe nodded her head and said with a smile, "Don't worry about it. Just be true to yourself. If someone says you're selfish, it's because they didn't take advantage of you. Especially after you got married, your mother-in-law said that because she wanted to take advantage of you but didn't succeed, so she got angry out of shame."
